We purchased a GSD from Heidelburg in 2004. Smart, energetic, and drop dead gorgeous. Unfortunately, at age 7 he developed Degenerative Myelopathy, a genetic disease of the spinal sheath. He lost the use of his legs, and the last year of his life was pretty tough. As were the conversations with our 3 year old son about what was wrong with Max. We will never do business with Eugene again. His dogs have genetic issues in their bloodlines.
