We purchased a male German Shepherd (GSD) from Thinschmidt German Shepherds Breeding (TGSB), from a Gonzo and Ana litter. Our GSD is loved greatly but has ELBOW DYSPLASIA (Fragmented Coronoid Medial Process), and HIP DYSPLASIA. Another dog in our pup's litter was also diagnosed with hip & elbow DYSPLASIA. TGSB told my husband that he didn't have integrity and that they were questioning the integrity of our entire family. This shows a lack of professionalism and utter ignorance. They also told my husband that he thought he was "above" others due to his job in the military. We brought up the military once, only to state the fact that we could not bring our dog into them due to now living on the other side of the country. TGSB is friendly at first but are highly unprofessional, unethical and offensive.

This breeder has the best looking GSD puppies and dogs around. They can be a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. Worth every dime. They also have puppy classes. Our pup is amazing, smart, calm, and confident. If you are looking for a GSD this is the place to go. I drive up from San Diego for the training classes on Saturdays.
