Who Do You Trust - Page 23

"I would look at Sportwaffen k9 for help."

Me too!
He works his own dogs, and is as honest as they come. No control freak contracts.
This is one of his dogs, absolutely great with kids, a total push over, as loving as can be with family and friends, but look out strangers! 
This dog would not go home with anyone else, I'm sure of it.  She won't even go with friends; she is the most loyal dog I've ever owned.

  

I know she is a long coat, but he doesn't breed for those, she just happened, so he sold her to me at pet price.  Lucky for me!

what is sportwaffens name on here? i cant find itwas just looking for a post with them in it

I googled them and came up with this website, http://www.sportwaffenk9.com/index.shtml
Looks like thay have some nice dogs.

I think it is k9grimmdog  or grimmdog  destiny

Yes, Nate is a very nice, helpful person. I bred a dog that was bred to a dog he sold (did you all follow that? LOL) and he was very helpful in getting me info on the sire to help puppy buyers learn about him. Nice guy and I know through others that he is trustworthy. 

I would look no further than www.vomreichtal.com   They are in Ky just south of the Ohio border and have super working dogs. All are HOT and there are many of their pups titled all over the country. They are honest and trustworthy as they come. I know of none any better than Richard and Melody Greba

I wish those who are suggesting breeders to newbies would care more about recommending those who test ther dogs for DM; if there is any doubt how improtant that is, look at Beetree's thread about that disease. Why is that not as vital as a Sch title, drive, a v rating or a breed survey? 

Why, Blitzen? I think, because, as of yet, it's hardly a "mainstream" test, meaning the vast majority of GSD breeders, both "good" and "bad" aren't doing it. It's only recently that there have been any breeders testing for it that I would be remotely interested in. When the tests first came out, it seemed like some showlines tested, some Am.  lines, and some people with "working lines" who hardly know their own dogs, they have so many, yet test for everything under the sun in an effort to appear "responsible" to uneducated newbies surfing the net. 

How many top top working line kennels are testing for it? How many foreign kennels? 

It's just a numbers game at this point; you are likely cutting off your nose to spite your face very often if you refuse to consider a breeder who doesn't test for DM. I'm not going to refuse to recommend an excellent breeder because they have not yet elected to test the probability that their dog could develop or produce DM.  People who don't hang out on the forums don't even know about DM.
