i have contacted the owner of the affix VASHIKA n have been requested to display the hip status of the following gsds mentioned in OP first comment.Vashika Xena(7-7)Vashika
Watz@Jemness(4-3)Korzwin Yolli(8-7).To the OP.V.Xena was sold to a pet home n then was sold on without the breeders knowledge.Most of the show breeders of gsds on the german side sell their pups with kc.endorsements that state pups CANNOT be reg,d with the kennel club unless the endorsement is lifted (ie.that the health tests are done n PASSED)I can advise OP that as far as i can see these breeders apart from Highrigg have done the tests required at that time.I personally WOULD HAVE NO QUALMS about buying a pup from Korzwin,Jemness and Vashika.I have spoken with one of these breeders who is also meeting one of the others for lunch today n i presume the other is at a breed club open show which is on today.i will try to get in contact with them thru a friend n hopefully yu may get a PM.I dont know wot the problem is but one can only do ones best by breeding health tested dogs,mother nature is unpredictable n can be cruel,as i know to my costs as i had 3 siblings in one litter(all thankfully owned by me)who had genetic health disorders.never had it before n never since,but these animals were never bred from.Carole S.
