Does this look like a decent breeder?

Just wanted some thoughts on what you guys think. Thanks a bunch! http://www.hoobly.com/0/0/1857045.html

Not one I would purchase from, no.

No health clearances, no titles, two litters on the ground at the same time (huge turn-off for me), nothing to say about the parents other than "They're BEAUTIFUL." Are they registered with anything, like AKC? I don't see it on here.

I would run away from this 'breeder.' Just looks like another BYB.

Doesn't look good.

cash venture . Anyone who allows pups to be picked by order of deposit is of zero interest to me.

Having just been through this... I would also reconsider the "large boned" aspect. German Shepherds are NOT supposed to be HUGE.

Breed standard is about 66-88 lbs for a male, and 48-70lbs for a female.

When I was looking for my GSD,I came across 140lb GSD's

Add that to what everyone else said

I think the large-boned pretty much means how thick the legs are, in this instance. I've seen large boned a few times, but it doesn't refer to the size of the dog itself, just that they don't have chicken legs.

Besides what has already been said, they let the puppies go to their new homes at 6 weeks. That is also a BIG no-no.

No.

no-if you want to go that route go adopt a GSD from a rescue
