I can highly recommend the breeder we got him from. I constantly get comments on how he is the best behaving GSD anyone has met.

I have to disagree most vehemently. I have had GSDs all my life, with all different bloodlines. American lines have many more health problems. European line dogs have better temperaments, hips, elbows, and overall health. Training early, like at weaning is imparitive.
