misrepresentation of service
www.fleischerheim.com is not a true advertizement of the actual kennel facility in Savoy-Bells Texas. I like the quality of dogs that Mr. Fleischer has bought and brought to the US. I liked his website looking for associates to better the german shepherd breed and I liked that he stated his puppies were raised in socialized in family environments. He may have some associates like that but his operation in Savoy Texas is not what he respresents. I was wanting to purchase a female puppy and wanted to see the parents and the facility. Mr. Fleischer did not encourage and stated he shipped puppies all over the world. I drove to Texas and met his manager and wife. Neither knew I was coming. The driveway to the place is appealing and the facility is pricey looking but what the dogs live in is disguisting. I believe the manager was trying but the number of dogs and the small runs was not good. There was no exercise area for puppies or the adults. Every dog stayed in their run all the time. The whelping facility was not conducive to healthy puppies. The smell was gross, but with cement flooring and no outside runs for the females and too many dogs whelping what could one expect. The puppies or adults had not been bathed but again the numbers of dogs would make that highly impossible. There was a trailer that housed maybe twelve dogs in even smaller runs and they not only did not have outside runs but they could not even see the outside. Needless to say, puppies were not being family raised as the ad stated let alone socialized or housebroken. Before purchasing a puppy from www.fleischerheim.com kennels people should not take my word but go see for yourself. I cannot believe that there is not any regulations that would shut down this kennel.

Puppy mill
Bill Fleischer is a crook and (www.fleischerheim.com) runs a puppy mill with a paint job (nice website). His dogs live their entire lives in small runs with no love, play, or social time. Just used to produce produce produce. He breeds anything and everything, most with terrible temperaments. A dog with a bad temperament should never be bred as it is passed on in the genes.
His puppies are not socialized at all and many never even see the outside of a run or barn until they go to the buyer. THis often leads to a puppy afraid of it's own shadow and most of his dogs turn out to be dog aggressive as he breeds dogs with bad genes. His prices are absolutely CRAZY. No one should ever pay more than $2500 for a puppy. That price will get the best of the best. He is just ripping people off. His low end $2500 puppies are the runts or the one's with ears torn off or sick ones.
Case #1 - I bought a $2500 puppy from him that turned out to be crazy. I ended up giving her away.
Case #2 - a friend of mine paid a ridiculous $4500 for a puppy that was afraid of everything, everyone, and very dog aggressive (fearful). She was spayed and given away.
Case #3 - his warranty is a joke. I know someone that tried to call him on warrently and Fleischer said he would replace the puppy with an additional $2500.
Case #4 - I called about a puppy (before I bought the crazy one)and asked about it and he said he would discount it. Upon tracking down the people that had the litter, they told me the puppy was sick (medical condition for life) and no it wasn't for sale. They would give it to anyone willing to provide for it. They were not happy that he was trying to sell it.
Case #5 - Beware of the bait and switch. Often the pictures you see online are not of the 'real' dog. I know of someone that was interested in buying an adult dog posted on his site. When he saw the dog in person it was not the same dog. Fleishcher tried to claim it was a mistake but the picture was never changed.
Case #6 - When these dogs get too old and no longer make him money (which by the way not only does he breed them too often but far to long in age), he decides to retire them. Not find them lovely homes because they deserve it, but he tries to sell them for thousands of dollars. These are dogs that are 10 yrs plus so only have a few years left.
This man is a total shister, would rip off his own mother. Do not trust them man at all or believe anything he says. There are much nicer dogs that reputable breeders produce. Stay away from this man and his associates.
He is in cohoots with Nobleheimgermans.com and hausmerkel.com.
Buyer beware and do your homework!
