Halo German Shepherds Customer service and puppy environment

I don't take a lot of stock in reviews normally but after seeing the reviews on Halo Shepherds I contacted them, they would only respond by text. As soon as I said I would like to visit the puppies in their environment things went south real quick. This is my second review for anything in my whole life, normally I just move on but in this case I couldn't. This place is a straight up puppy mill. After I told her I was done she kept texting me over and over. A dog is a family member to me and you don't meet some shady person in a parking lot to get a family member. The only time I have ever got a pet from a parking lot was when I rescued a cat, rescued not paid a bunch of money for a pet. I was very nice in the text. By seeing the other reviews and what she says back, dont be fooled by her people. She will respond back to this review many times and she will make up things I said to make me into a bad person. That's not the true story and I will not respond to what she says back as I will not waste my time with a person like her. All I would say is if you think about a dog from this place is go see their environment where they are kept before you give them a dime then make up your own mind. If you love dogs make sure you don't support a bad place. Thank you for your time.

We bought our male solid black shepherd home on 12/12/16. He has been perfect from day one! Instinctively humble and aware, with our 4 year old son he has given us no worries. We searched for 2 years thinking we would have to fly to get this specific breed, just to randomly google search one day and find the breed available an hour away. Anyone viewing this that will have to travel ANY distance for any of her amazing animals is WELL worth it! We met with Angela the next day and the experience has been life changing! 2 weeks later we picked up our new "son". Angela strives daily to provide top notch care, love and support to all of her animals! Retaining an animal from this breeder is unlike any other! They are TRULY loved and cared for in the time before they become a part of your family after purchase! Which speaks volumes for the experience you'll have after you return home with your new member. Our shepherd "Brinks" was superior healthy at his first vet check in and is thriving! The work Angela does with these animals is a blessing here on earth! As is she! We r so thankful for this amazing addition to our family! A dream come true from Dixie Land German Shepherds! 
Lots of love from the Cook family!

Halo German Shepherds parvo puppies

Purchased an 8wk old black german shepherd from this breeder; Angela, and it turned out to have the Parvovirus as well as Giardia. I informed the breeder and she did not want to acknowledge this fact, even after she spoke with a few vets and sending her all the medical paperwork. She will also not provide us with the pedigree, litter no or other identifying paperwork as stated on their website. I got the puppy the best care possible and he pulled through but I would never purchase from this breeder again and I suggest you don't either. We are pursuing legal actions.

Hi Angela... I see you're giving yourself glowing reviews again! Can't you smell the filth your dogs are forced to live in? I see you are hiding 100+ in the woods now in a different county. Did you REALLY think no one knew? When are you bringing the rest of your horde? What's your latest count now.. 300, 400, 500? How do you know which dog has what bloodline, when your dogs were in community pens. No breeders license? My, my, my.. what wicked webs we weave when trying to deceive. Christian? I would think not, Buttercup!

Mk shealy's review:"I loved my experience with halo gs kennels! they stayed with me through the whole process of finding a perfect fur-ever baby for my family. the availability and will to work with me and my family was a constant effort from hgsk. which in the long run once we picked the perfect fur-baby paid off in endless love that will be appreciated for a lifetime! my gsd is absolutely perfect in temperament and health. when we take her out in public everyone stops and compliments us on our beautiful baby girl! I always give people the name of hgsk if they are looking for a pup for their home! if I ever convince my husband to let me get another dog i'll be coming back!"

Halo German Shepherds Sick puppy

I bought this pup, a white shepherd, in January of 2010 over the internet. On the site it said she was a Chirstian breeder and was not a puppy mill, The pics on her site were beautiful, we drove down to pick up the pup on News Years day, and what I saw was nothing like the pics on her site. She had about forty female whites in one large fenced in area, about 3 to 6 months old.
she had about 20 6-10 pens with no cover on the top and nothing but wire on the bottom. In the pens she either had a large male and female together or a female with pups. It was horrable. The pup she brought me, looked like he was only about 5 weeks old and acted sick, When I questioned her she said she had just wormed him and he was a little sick. I brought him home, because I knew he would not make there. We lost him within 10 days after spending 3000.00 trying to save him. I got no paperwork with him and never got my AKC papers. I contacted AKC, and got no help, same thing with the animal control in that county, or from the state. I was heart broken. I breed white shepherds and I only breed 1 male and 1 female once a year. I do not sell any pup without my vet seeing them. If all states would make it mandortory for et check. All puppy mills would close, and a lot of your large kennels would to. No pet should be sold to the public without a clean bill of health.

Yet another case where the nightmare created by an unethical, scheming and greedy back yard breeder, has to be cleaned up by someone else. Rescue groups, private citizens, local government (funded by taxpayers)-- use their time, money, and other resources to ensure the best possible outcome for these animals-- while the breeder does jack. It's pathetic that so many dogs had to suffer for so long before something was actually DONE to stop this hag Powell. https://www.wsav.com/news/local-news/help-on-the-way-for-dogs-living-in-their-own-filth-in-montgomery-county/1682559831

Well they finally did close her down. And arrested her. The video of her "clean" facility is now made public. The filth these poor animals lived in now not debatable. The fact dogs had to eat deceased dogs is a public record. The smell coming from the facility is police documented. . SHE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH ANIMAL ABUSE. No more debate. This women is pure evil. And a backyard puppy mill.

Clint Braddy beating women and children?!? Lol. My brother has NO children and the only children he is in contact with are MY children which are his niece and nephew of which he adores. You get caught beating an innocent animal with a shovel and the only come back you have is accusing someone of beating a child? I know about your " law degree" but let's talk about your "nursing degree" Mrs. Powell...Is this how you would you would treat one of your patients in your care? It's tit for tat...a patient expects to be taken care of by a "licensed medical professional"and a dog deserves the same care by a "licensed breeder!"
