Realistic Review

I purchased a male GSD puppy from Bill in 2020. Sire was Halvar and Dame was Waronna. This puppy was the smartest and most confident GSD puppy I have only owned. Unfortunately, My dog died at 6 months no fault of Bills. The only negative was at her passing at 6 months, I had yet to receive my papers on her. Bill said he was delayed due to COVID, who knows. Yes, you could call it a puppy mill. Yes, the puppies smell and are not pampered. But he has good genetics and good dogs.

I bought 2 older female dogs from Bill few years ago, and both were perfect ladies. Great with kids, travel great,I can take then into crowds on the plane on train and on a boat and both of them handle it no problem. Nothing bothers them, 4th of July no problem. these girls have no fear. I did some training to make one a service dog but both came to me ready to go with just a little brush up, since they were in kennel and most likely not worked. I bread one of the girls and now have a great female that will be my new service dog. When its time for me to get another GSD Bill will be the first one I will go too.

I’ve met Bill- Straight up- No bs.

I wanted 2 more female German Shepherds- I looked all over and to many “kennels” in Michigan- some I was heartbroken- others I learned that’s not what I wanted to do with my girls (sheps) I found Bill- I flew out to Texas to check it out- very peaceful place. Very clean, Bill has some very impressive shepherds- quite a lot of them too. Well I found 2 and paid a reasonable sum. I haven’t had any issues with them. They are very intelligent, beautiful, healthy, girls. I have read some bad reviews about Bill, I would purchase from him again - (except I breed longhaired now) Out of all the puppies Bill has produced Everyone can’t have 100% perfect puppy from him. Most of the reviews are from ppl who’s dog passed of cancer at 7. I wouldn’t pass the blame all on bill. I have purchased several dogs from overseas- horrible experiences!

Beautiful GSD for 7 years died of cancer

We purchased a GSD and she was beautiful, healthy and happy...we had 7 wonderful years with her...and then the unexpected...Hemangiosarcoma! One day she was fine the next very lethargic, took her to vet, stomach filling with blood due to ruptured tumor on her spleen...emergency surgery to remove bleeding tumor...we were in the process of scheduling an appointment with oncology and she got lethargic again, we called the hospital and they said get her in to them now...she was having internal bleeding again and her stomach was filling with blood, they could not open her up again because they did not know where the bleeding was coming from and if we waited too long her stomach would press on her diaphragm so we had no choice but to put her out of her misery, her heart rate was up and her breathing strained...so two weeks from first diagnosis she was gone! Has anyone had a cancer experience with there GSD from Fleischerheim? Robert in Boston, MASS

"Best Dogs" I've had the Honor and Pleasure of owning

I have purchased several dogs from Bill Fleischer over the years. I keep going back because he breeds the "best". The temperaments are always wonderful and so very smart. They always "complete" our family. We always feel so secure owning a GSD. I have sent several customers to Bill and they have always been very happy with their dogs. People stop me and ask where I got my dog whenever we go out. If you're looking for a strong, smart, beautiful dog with high intelligence and a joy for all of your family I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bill and his beautiful dogs. If you're like me you'll be back again and again.

Fleischerheim - German Shepherd Dog Review

The most horrible experience you can imagine. Purchased what was supposed to be a trained young adult GSD import for my son's birthday. The dog bit the neighbor boy and also a petson walking down the sidewalk. The dog definitely had serious problems and was not in any way posessing a good temperment. Fleischman refused to provide a refund or to take the dog back for more training. If you want to throw away thousan s of dollars and break your kids heart, this chump Fleischman is the right guy for you.

Fleischerheim German Shepherd Dog Review

I bought a female puppy from Bill in 2012. The dog has bad hips and elbow problem. she was also scared of her own shadow. When I called Bill he would only offer another dog after my family became fond of the dog I ourchased. Stay away from Bill.

Great experience

I read all these articles and dont doubt how legitimate they are but I also believe its important to write about the positive experience. I bought a four month old puppy fo Bill and my experiemce was very pleasant, from the first day we visited the kennel to the day we picked him up at the airport, not to mention the gorgeous dog my puppy has become. Great temperament around people, horses and other animals. Maverick is now 10 month old and he is gorgeous as we had expected. Bill sells many dogs, as all animals can some may not become what expected, but thats the life of a breeder.

Fleischerheim - Puppy Review from Oak Harbor, Washington

Had problems from day one. Paid 3500 and received a puppy with giardhea, took 4 mos to get rid of it. At 2yrs old, Kaiser had dermadectic mange, which is from mother. At 4yrs old, he was diagnosed with low thyroid. And, just recently at 6 1/2 yrs old, has been diagnosed with arthritis and hip dysplasia in both hips And arthritis in both knees. Unless you're rich, don't purchase anything from him.

DO NOT BE FOOLED!

Bill is a crook and runs a puppy mill. I bought a 7K dog from him for breeding. SHe came out of the crate from Texas smelling like *** and had kennel cough. Even after being bathed she still smelled. A large hot spot developed oner her hip requiring that she be shaved, only to find out there were *** under her undercoat. SHe was so high strung she developed pica and needed surgery twice to remove objects from her stomach. This dog was never never well. She produced two puppies, one each breeding. She was constantly sick with diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and pica. The pica was so bad she needed to wear a soft muzzle to prevent her ingesting anything. After over $30,000 (yes 30K) in vet bills, we finally got her semi-healthy. After 1 year she became very ill, weak, couldn't walk, wouldn't eat. We took her to specialist (another 4500.00 in vet bills) and after many exams they determined she had Systemic Lupus. Being an inherited condition, the two puppies had to spayed and neutered. Her hips were fair but not the A Stamp Bill claimed. She was 5 years old when she died. Zamp died of cancer at 6. Genetics? DO NOT BUY A DOG FROM HIM. I asked for a refund and he offered me another dog at a discount price. Really? His dogs live in filth and are poorly bred. This guy lived in a house in Maui that he sold to Cameron Diez made with money from selling *** overpriced dogs.

I bought a dog from fleischerheim german shepherds and had a back experience.

I purchased a dog from Fleischerheim german sheperds for $3500.00 dollars. The dog only lived to be 3 years old and died from a terrible intestinal disease. I figured something was wrong after about 2 months of having him. I purchased Simba at 8 weeks old and so at this time he is about four months old, and I started to notice he was not gaining weight the way he should have been. I was feeding him very high end food, and still could not get the weight on him. I also noticed he was really loose in the back with his hind legs. I took him to a trainer and he encouraged me to walk him up and down hills in order to strengthen his hind legs and he also informed me that he had a severe case of cow hocks. I do not recommend buying a dog from this kennel.

Don't purchase here!!

I bought an older puppy from him that he "discounted". It was a super well-bred dog (out of the 2010 world champion, Ober Von Bad-Boll), but he was 9 months old by the time I bought him and had never seen the outside of a kennel. It took two people to get a collar on him. He was scared of everything. I tried to walk him and he kept tripping, because he had always been on flat cement and didn't even understand anything about uneven ground. He was afraid to go inside; afraid of absolutely everything. He is also extremely cow-hocked and Bill assured me he would grow out of it, but he did not! I have worked with him, and he isn't so scared or aggressive at all, he is beautiful, but he is still "quirky". As many others have noted, he has an extremely short attention span and has been extremely difficult to train. He missed out on that important "developmental" time. I was also appalled by the condition of the kennel. When we went there it was stinky from the time we got out of the car. The dogs were all filthy and the kennels were disgusting. Then dogs were all barking and jumping at the kennel doors and it was deafening. Anyone that even considers purchasing a dog here needs to go visit the kennel. You need to insist upon it. It is absolutely unacceptable. It is not difficult to see why the dogs are "crazy" when you see the conditions they live in! I wish we had gotten "Abe" at 8 weeks instead of 9 months and it may have made a difference...it is hard to know. I just know there are many reputable breeders where this would never happen. Find them! Reward them with your business. Go take a look at this establishment and purchase somewhere else! Wish I would have seen the warnings first!

Bought German Shepherd from Bill Fleiseherheim Shepherds

I bought a young dog (one year old) from Fleiseherheim and when we unloaded her from the shipping kennel she smelled so bad you could hardly stand to be near her and she had not messed in the kennel. She had never been handled and promptly wound us up by running around us. We immediately noticed that her hind legs were not right as she had extremely bad cow hocks (the large joint on the hind legs). If you google this condition they show the different stages of cow hocks, this dog has the very worst as shown in the pictures. He offered to trade for another dog but I wanted no further dealings with him. His web site is top notch and in talking to both him and his wife they were so nice and like a dummy, I didn't google him or would have known better than to deal with him. He is , as the others who have complained about him, a crook!
