Wow, German Shepherds, Yorkies, and Chihuahas. They must be busy.

I would run far away. Nontitled parents, I don't see anything about health testing or any guarantees for... anything. Looks like a BYB with a website to me.

Edit: YIKES! This page worries me more:

http://www.ablek9.com/GermanShepParents.htm

Half of those dogs don't look like anything I would expect to be bred. A lot of females used, as well, with again no information of HD or ANYTHING.

The first thing that came to mind is "Puppy mill". I would run screaming.

No experience with them. But.... based on their website I would run far away.

I see that you are new to the site. Hello and welcome I'm located in DFW area. I could suggest a few local breeders if you wish.

Number 9 & 10 in their contract is confusing! I don't see OFA on their adult dogs?!?! (LOL)

Hi Thanks, I'd love a few referrals. I'm in Houston but have already realized we'll need to leave the city to find a good breeder.
Thanks!

The white Shepherd with the tucked tail says it all. No need to look any further just run.

Wow, I did NOT even notice that. Who in their right mind...
