From another reputable breeder Lilspups:
See the “Vaccine Protocol” on my website. I always tell puppy buyers to do the 3 year Rabies instead of the yearly. I also tell them that vaccines are not necessary every year. That too much actually lowers the immune system instead of building it. It’s a shame what vets do for a few extra bucks—actually a lot of extra bucks. Now a days, some make their clients do heart worm tests every year even though the dog is on heart worm meds. Greedy people. Of course the vaccine companies are making a goodly amount on their sales too.
Always ask your breeder first. They should be the most knowledgeable resource on the breed and the personality of the puppy you are getting from them.
Beware Spartan K9 Dealer Kelle Sullivan
BEWARE German Shepherd Import female black and red sold by Spartan K9
We purchased 3 bred dogs from Kelle Sullivan DBA Spartan K9 also known as sullivanhaus in Fort Meade, Florida. Payment was required before me being able to see the dogs, and photos of nice dogs were sent. Kelle bragged how big the litters were in each dog and that each dog and litter was healthy.
What we received was 3 dogs with NO required by law health certificate!! One was a skeleton. 2 dogs were shipped almost a month after receiving payment and almost FULL term. 2 had DEAD LITTERS!!!!!
Costs to me were almost $10,000. Kelle Sullivan has received $6,995 & $1,550 from me, and she was charged with 3 misdemeanor charges! NO refunds were given, even though one dog was returned after needing 2 surgeries! Vet bills exceeded $2,000.
Seller Kelle Sullivan at Spartan K9 sullivanhaus offered a rebreeding to a dog that could NOT be rebred. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What was promised
We were provided photos via text from Kelle Sullivan, promising this beautiful healthy dog. This is not what we got.

Beware before you consider Spartan K9 GSD from Kelle Sullivan of Ft. Meade, Florida
Had Kelle Sullivan, a Florida State worker FWC, obeyed the Florida Law that Protects Consumers, the dog she was selling would NOT have passed the Fl Statute 828.29 Pet sale exam, and I would of been spared the trauma on Christmas Day—surgery to save dogs life!!
