He is a purebred German Shepherd, he has had all of his shots and all his testing done, the vet found no abnormalities or birth defects. We bought him from a well known breeder for 3500. We have been looking to Stud for a while now but we wanted to wait until her was 2 Because our Vet told us that was the best Age. He is the sweetest, funnest, happiest boy in the world!
