This is a breeder of German Shepherds involved in AKC conformation primarily. The dogs are pretty much all shown in AKC conformation show (stacked) photos. The website does not include health testing information such as certifications of hips, elbows, eyes, etc. I would just ask and, if they have been showing and breeding for 40 years at the level that they have, they almost certainly have the OFA certifications and other required genetic testing, but just have not inlcuded them with the individual dog's website information. I also liked seeing the sheep herding photos and the obedience photos too.

Welcome to the Board!

I don't see any pedigrees or OFA Info. Do you have the pedigree on the litter your puppy is to come from?

I did go there and forgot to ask for pedigree and any health certification but i did meet all the dogs (around 8) and the future litters parents they were all beautiful and friendly and the breeder told me she does have health certifications and she told me about the dogs bloodlines seemed very good

Are you interested in American showlines? Cause that's what these are. Some of them do have obedience titles, which is good.

Some of the dogs look to have soft ears.

Is this correct ear set?

And maybe this is a bad picture, but this looks ghastly...

Anyway, other than personal preference in looks, I don't see any red flags popping up.

Welcome!
Those are definitely American show line GSDs. I don't know much about them, so I won't comment on the dogs themselves. I suppose the first question to ask would be what you intend for your German Shepherd to do? Are you looking for a pet and companion with not much past that avenue, or are you looking to possibly eventually compete in a venue?

I don't plan on competing and I'm a college student without many responsibilities and I plan on having this dog as a companion who goes everywhere with me
