Well, I just glanced at the site quickly but this paragraph sure makes me wonder:
"We are looking for Donated German Shepherd adults, Labs and Belgian Malinois that can be tested and evaluated for Law enforcement. The perfect age is 18 months to 3 years. Let us know if you have a dog in your home that you feel would be better suited to be a working service dog. This dog must come with Hip and Elbow x-rays. If you are not sure of your dog, let us test it before getting him neutered."
So they want un-neutered dogs donated to them - and you must provide hip and elbow x-rays. I find this very suspect. I'm guessing that they would also require registration papers - and that these dogs, being un-neutered, may very well slip into their breeding program and offspring are sold for big bucks!
Not a place I would ever purchase a dog from. The prices are exorbitant, and someone paying those prices for a companion dog must have more money than brains.
I love my shepherds, but the most I've ever paid was about $1100 which included health certificate, kennel and shipping from New Jersey to Alaska. And this dog has been the most extraordinary companion/competition dog - she's nearly ten years old and still going strong.
Kennels like this will sell for huge prices because they manage to find suckers who will pay those prices. Price does not always indicate quality.
Oh - and it costs $175 for a 45 minute session to determine if your dog can be trained for protection work - and nearly $7000 to do the training! Whew.
