Looking for a European German Shepherd excellant breeder. Bullinger Shepherds? - Page 3

I never said she titles all of her dogs herself (i said she trains and titles all of her breeding dogs, meaning within her organization) I said mostly herself and i guess mostly is subjective because there are only so many hours in a day and you do as much as you can in that time and that she works her dogs as a full time business, nor did I mention anything about her females being on co-ownerships, so You must be responding to someone else. One of my last posts shOuld also be edited to fix a couple errors. 122 registered with CKC (my phone posted that as AKC) and we were told $1500 for a puppy and I see her website says $1500-$2500.

   I have had several conversations with TRACEY  on the phone as she called me.

I would buy a pup or dog from her in a heart beat., but I would go up there and pick myself.

 I went to Campsbellsport WISCONSIN,  back many years ago so If I would drive that far..TRACEYS  place is not very much more.

Tracey is one fine lady.

And as far as to how much she makes, how she combs her hair, where she shops and if she is tax free, debt free or has caviar for breaksfast,,,

   I COULD CARE LESS.

HER PUPS  she does stand behind..her  LIFE IS HER DOGS..

Couldn't care less.

Tracey, has been dealing with Show lines that have character for over twenty years. She knows the genetics of the dogs who still produce good physical and mental soundness. Why would I buy a puppy from a breeders that may have two titled dogs imported, knows little about their history, but raises them individually in the house. I don't buy the nuture/genetic theory of being equal. Give me the breeder that has the knowledge to know the lines and dogs, and the INTEGRITY to breed for dogs that still have good GS temperament, over many of the SL breeders that breed for beauty and showring performance and if the pup isn't that caliber many times doesn't make a good pet even when raised in a house. The knowledge and intent of the breeder is more important than where the pup comes from in my world.

What Gustav and Yellow Rose said.

Well I would hope that if you are producing 122 puppies a year you know what you are breeding. You can breed good dogs on a much smaller scale and still be successful.

@ Darka....but one doesn't nullify the other....and that's the impression you initially gave.

So you are saying someone who has a litter or two a year cannot know the dogs they are producing as well as someone who mass produces?

I think what Gustav is saying is just the opposite. That just because Tracy produces 100+ puppies a year doesn't mean they get less than 100% from her or are poor quality. One doesn't automatically negate the other. Just because one is good doesn't mean that (in this case) the other is not.

Obviously when you have put out as many puppies as she has through the years and at the quality she has there is no question she knows her stuff. The big question mark here has been can anyone who produces 100+ puppies a year truly be caring for them properly. While it may not be the case for many organizations where 100 puppies or more a year are born, I haven't heard of any person who has been disappointed with the quality of their dogs from Tracy or said they were in poor health and I have never heard a story where a buyer came out of a purchase unhappy.

Pretty much anything that is said in the negative about Bullinger is non specific and has no details. Some post here and say do your research yet when you do research the only negatives are the same people saying "do your research" no one has any specifics. I did hOwever recieve one email that after reading seemed to be one side of a three sided story and in no way leaves me with the impression that Tracy's dogs are not well cared for. So I have to consider the source. Either that or Bullinger knows how to keep bad press off of the Internet......which I find hard to believe.
