I missed what you said on the end of page (1) ........you are right, decent people who breed, do it for the love of their breed, and not for the money. When I came to West Aust, nearly 30 years ago, they were not allowed to breed G.S.Ds' here, and the ones that were allowed in had to be sterilised. Then they changed the rules, and every man and his dog were breeding willy nilly......so many bad dogs have been bred because of that. I had 2. (we lived way up north near Dampier) and I got the first one not seeing him as a baby. He had to be put down because of the fact of his hips. He had no ball and half a ball on the other hip. I took them to court, and I won.
I then got a Silver Sable G.S.D. female, and she was wonderful. WE loved her. So, I know about bad breeders.
