Received a puppy from this kennel about 3 years ago. When I picked up puppy from airport, she was limping. Thought it might be from a rough flight went to vet was given anti inflammatory meds and told if she continued to limp X-rays would be needed. She kept limping and was found out she had severe Elbow dysplasia in both elbows. Contacted breeder and I was blamed for the problem. I gave that puppy away because we bought it for agility and breeding. This was not possible so we kept discussing with breeder the situation and she finally honored her contract a year later. Sent us a new puppy and we never thought the 2nd puppy had the same condition as the first pup. X-rays confirmed the issue. So after all is said and done, we have sent her 2800.00 and we received 2 pups with disabilities that will ultimately shorten their life span and later in life, pain and medication needs This was a 5000.00 mistake that After all vet bills that I hope to keep others from making. The breeder has already told me multiple times she will not cooperate with me anymore. A true breeder backs their product. I am also suspect that even though she told me my pups had different parents, the pups looked so similar so I called the new owner and asked if she would let me get DNA from the pup I gave her so I can check it with my pup to see if they are siblings. The registration show different parents but what's the chance the pups I received both had the exact same medical issues

This Breeder is absolutely nothing but a LIAR - she sold me a very sick puppy in 2013. I informed her said Puppy arrived with a horrible case of Coccidia, which she denied me ever telling her about it. As you can see from other complaints she is always playing the victim. In 2017 my pup was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel disease. Was I ever SHOCKED to find out that the Sire of my pup was put to sleep a year after Tropisch sold him for failure to thrive due to severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease - My Internal Medicine Specialist WHO KNOW MORE THAN ANY OF YOU on Facebook informed me then that since there was a Familial Component my pup would need IBD panels pulled every 4 months. In 2021 my pup also started having trouble walking. The Neurologist he saw WHICH ALSO KNOWS MORE THAN ANY OF YOU ON Facebook decided he needed to be tested for the SOD1 mutation for Degenerative Myelopathy - I was terribly shocked to learn that he came back as a Carrier after years of checking Pedigree Data Base and seeing his Parents were posted as DM clear. I contacted Tropisch to see what was going on with that - she ignored me until the next morning when she sent me an email COMPLANING how she had done nothing wrong. WELL, not long after that I once again checked Pedigree Data Base to see that she has removed the parents of my pup as being DM CLEAR - and has sworn all day to her Cronies on Facebook that she is an innocent victim. She said I got mad at her because of a Political post - lol, and that we were good buddies until said Political post. Insert eye roll here on Tropisch even trying to pull that one. I HAVE A DOG THAT HAS SUFFERED all his life due to her not knowing what she is doing by breeding dogs who are too young to even have their Hips OFA'd. Take up for her if you want to but YOU are not the one who has watched a beautiful German Shepherd suffer through many many medical problems. When it's your turn, you will feel differently. She jumped the gun when confronted about the DNA test coming back showing Carrier for Degenerative Myelopathy and went off like she always does. BUYER BEWARE, RUN, Don't Walk away from this wanna be Breeder.
