Anyone know of any good GSD and Lab breeders?
Looking at one of the two breeds for my next dog but don't know any breeders to talk to other than a google search... Looking for recommendations. Thanks! |

I have a friend who rescued a GSD through this outfit: http://kenlynkennels.com/german-shepherds
They also breed there, and have a great reputation. I got my GSD from a different rescue, but when I'm ready for another, I'll likely go to Kenlyn. They're located near Edgerton, which is between Madison and Milwaukee. |

We love Labs and got our most recent dog here:
http://www.moonlighterlabs.com/ Our dog Cooper is wonderful. My only suggestion is you research some of the common puppy personality tests. They were critical to our selection. Jeff http://www.moonlighterlabs.com/ |

Regarding puppies and temperment; the only dogs I have ever met that were out of control were that way because the owner didn't know how to work/train the dog, or hadn't tried. A puppy personality test is a good idea, but I wouldn't base any decision solely on that.
A dog is a reflection of the time you have invested in him/her. They have to be built, not bought. |

My friend breeds his labs, with excellent lines.... www.mississippimudkennels.com Not sure if and or when he is planning another litter
When I've had GSD's in the past, they have all come from http://www.jerland.com/home.html I'll agree with a previous poster, a lot of benefits come to rescuing a dog as well, though I personally haven't 'rescued' any, though I did temporarily foster a couple. |
