Any feedback on this Kennel (I read an old post from 2014) vom Grunenfeld in So. CA,
it has 2 websites with sparse info. 4germanshepherds.com and blackgermanshep.com.
The website also says "Vom Schwarze-Hunde German Shepherds"
they appear to be the same breeder just one of the sites showcasing the black dogs?
As a designer Im always surprised at some lousy websites breeders put out there. Incomplete info, head shots without full body shots. My impression from her site is she is a large scale breeder, focused on her stud dogs and has an army of females (she appears to adopt out the retired ones) she appears to be breeding her young black male at just 22months so obviously she can't have any hip screens done on him.
But I know you can't judge a book by its cover, so maybe she is missing the mark in her image but has excellent dogs?
I am an experienced GSD owner looking for a 2nd dog. I am really partial to a black coat (sorry no offense) so this is my priority. Im sure I can find a well balanced, well reared, solid nerve, all black dog, it just takes some extra work. (and some help from fellow enthusiasts : )
This dog will be a companion first, but active in obedience and nose work.
Can anyone else recommend a breeder of black dogs? anywhere USA.
(I also realize the black is recessive and could appear in colored litters of working dog lines, depending upon the genes.) so I could find a black from a breeder that has other colors as well.
