Breeder question
Hello,
I am new to the boards, and was hoping someone could help me  . We have decided to get a German Shepherd puppy for our family. We have done our homework and think this is the best dog for us. We have for the most part decided on a breeder. I wondered if anyone on here has used this breeder or heard anything about them Breeding Oversized, Large German Shepherds. big dogs in the mid-west family. They seem very nice to work with, and have answered all of our questions. They get their dogs OFA certified. We are not looking for a show dog just a really good family pet. Any feedback or information would be great. Thanks again |

I would not walk, I would RUN away!!! GSDs are NOT supposed to be that big. Read the AKC standards and get familiar with it first. Then find a reputable breeder who breeds to better the breed, not to make "ponies".
 FYI - the bigger the GSD the more proned to health issues and the shorter lives they can/will have. |

I dont even find those dogs attractive and I know they deal with Sinister's breeder.

Anyone who says "old-fashioned" in reference to huge is showing their ignorance of the breed's history, purpose and beginnings!

He is over the standard at 28" at the shoulder and there is already concern about his hips. He was born without a toe nail on his back right paw, he's had 2 bouts with Demodex Mange, he has low/medium drive and is basically a couch potato. I love him more than anything but I would never deal with byb's again!

I wouldn't want a dog from there if THEY paid ME! (For all of the reasons already posted and then some!)
