Bad Breeders and what happens to the puppies German Shepherd

This is what happens when well known breeders, decide to breed 2 dogs with major defects in their pedigree to make a little extra money on the aside and discount the price by using their reputation to lure their prey. Jack was a true long coat with no undercoat,had deformed testicles, floating rib, spinal mal formation, hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. We were told he was a completely normal and healthy german shepherd short hair. He was a joy for the entire 8 months we had him, and the breeder was your worst nightmare come true. This poor guy was doomed from the start, but we gave him the best and even took time off of work to spend every one of his 8 months with him. A true beauty who wanted to live and grow old.


I have an update. A year ago I started to work with San Diego Coastal German Shepherd Rescue and I ran into a dog that look just like this little dog Jack. He acts like Jack in every way, I had to rescue. His name is Karsyn, look for his video. He has been a blessing in everyway each day

I know people who buy purebreds all the time and never say of ANY guarantees these breeders have (BACKYARD BREEDERS), we have an Airedale, and even though she gave it to us (Just wanted to find it a home) as it was a returned dog, we happily took her in and is an extreme joy. The breeder told us if we did not want her at ANY point of her life, she would take it back, regardless of the health, age or issues. Now that is a REAL breeder, not one who just wants the cash!

At least you gave him a happy life albeit for only 8 months. RIP puppy

I'm so sorry for your pain and loss.... God bless you for loving this beauty and caring for him during his short life on earth.

BYB in it's worst form. It really should be a crime.

@bajb76 To be honest with you... I was worried indeed, but the vet said she's OK, although she has a slight overbite. I think I just over-trained her a bit, so she's having a well deserved rest now. I was just wandering whether it is possible to correct an overbite of 2 months puppy...?

As far as I've been able to determine, there are no laws against breeding unfit dogs. There are laws regulating puppy mills as far as sanitation and the bare essentials of food and water but as far as breeding, inbreeding, etc. the breeders are free tod o as they please. As for lawsuits, there have been several. The offending breeders are clever...there's generally a settlement clause preventing anyone from talking about the outcome.

[bajb76]

Could be just a puppy getting her balance and figuring out how to make all four legs work together; however, if it continues, take her for x-rays. There are reasons your GSD was so cheap. That said, I truly do hope it's nothing more than a puppy learning to coordinate all four legs. If not, then very sadly, your puppy has some serious issues in its joints and/or back.

[bajb76]

Breeding unfit dogs which produce puppies who will suffer is animal abuse, plain and simple. Animals welfare laws must be changed to include breeding unfit dogs. Far too many breeders, some quite 'famous', care little for the quality of puppies they produce but, instead, are more concerned with their own fame and overblown egos. Good breeders breed for the betterment of the species and that means never breeding unsound animals. Creating puppies like this one is ANIMAL ABUSE.

@SaraPerki Agreed! Prophylaxis!

[SaraPerki]

@SuperDido1983 That's not a good sign. I would bring her in and have the puppy looked at.

[SuperDido1983]

Dude, it's so sad! What did it died from? I just bought an extremely cheap GSD, and she seems to bunny hop (she's 44 days old now)

[KnittingPasta]

how did he die?
