Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

I recently brought home a black male long haired German shepherd from”What the Heart wants”. Betty is the breeder I worked with. She was amazing to work with and very flexible with her time. Any questions I had were answered very quickly. She is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and takes excellent care of her pups! I picked my boy up in Tennessee on September 28, 2026 and brought him to my home in North Carolina. We stopped in Asheville on our way home and took him to a dog friendly restaurant. He was very chilled, and receptive to attention. That was a big test for a little guy who was with new people! I was very impressed with his manner! I have now had him for almost two weeks. He is highly trainable! I know that Betty worked with him on manners before we picked him up and we have reinforced what she taught. He is very good about letting me know when he needs to go out! He follows me everywhere which I love, and is very loyal. He is praise and treat motivated! He knows if he has done things right and is quick to receive praise! He has decided for now that he doesn’t want to be a bed dog, but has his place right beside me on the floor between me and the door. He gets along with other companions in my home which is important to me. I really couldn’t have asked for a better companion than what he is! His name is Phantom, and he is amazing! Kudos to Betty and thank you to Good Dog because I found the website by coincidence, and found Phantom there very quickly! Betty, I cannot thank you enough!

+4Everything was excellent!!!!! Never had such a wonderful, laid back puppy!!! Adjustment has been no problem whatsoever!!!! Ranger is a doll!!!! Just absolutely house broken from day one!!!!! We have gotten lots of toys so we can redirect him any time he decides to be a land shark and bite on us!!!! Lots of teething but to be expected…. Loves on everyone…. Not real thrilled with lawn service…. Does not like blower!!!! Has slept in bed with us since first night…. Watches a movie for an about 5 minutes then goes to foot of bed and sleeps all night…. Unless we have to get up…. So he goes out to potty also…. Range’s breeder, BJ Moore has been there for me every step every day…. I can call her anytime and she answers all my questions…. Sends me links, things to ask vet, sent pics of food… even before we got Ranger I had all the food and vitamins ready I talked to BJ several times and told her we wanted a very laid back GS… She sent Ranger!!! We raised labs for many years and decided to go with a GS puppy and this has been fabulous!!!!! Ranger is a part of our family and has been with us for almost 3 weeks…. Has been to vet and everything is fine….!! Thank you BJ and What a Heart Wants for a companion that will be with us for a long time!!!!!
