About Our Customer Testimonials


Any photos you see on this website (except on pedigree/or sires in Europe) are of dogs that I have personally produced from my excellent German Shepherd lines. All photos are either what I personally took of my dogs and puppies or are pictures my buyers have sent me of the dog/puppy they got from my kennel.

I want to thank you for a wonderful addition to our family. Lola is so well socialized – she fit right in with Max (our 18 mo old GSD) and they are already playing like old friends. Everyone who sees her (the entire island it would seem) stops to say how beautiful she is.
She is coming along well with her training, and only had one accident the first day. She has learned to love her crate-well, at least tolerate it and is bouncing along, healthy as can be. She has an amazing amount of self confidence, and is totally fearless. I cannot wait to see the adult she becomes.
I will keep you updated with pictures as she grows.

Just wanted to touch base with you about our puppy, Merlin that we purchased from you in April, 2009. He’s just over a year old now and is the most amazing dog. He’s so intelligent and protective. He weighs in at just over 100 lbs. now. I would like to thank you for breeding such high quality dogs. Attached is photo of Merlin.
Thanks Again,
Katherine Pearce

Schatzi (peanut) is the BEST dog i’ve ever seen. She’s so smart and sweet, doesn’t cry in her crate, when we go for walks she stops when my daughter starts getting to far behind to wait for her, she’s starting to get such a personality! Thanks so much! Let me know if these pictures didn’t work.
Hi Linda,
Schatzi won a pet trick prize. I am sending some pics and a copy of her certificate.
She is such a beautiful and amazingly intelligent dog- this prize was for playing soccer.
thanks again,
Lori Burbank

Hello Linda and Emma!
Sorry it has been so long for an update! I hope you can see in the picture that she is just growing every day and getting absolutely smarter everyday! My vet says she is a perfect pup; our puppy class trainer says she has had really good breeding; and of course you know that we think she is pretty wonderful too!
She came here house trained (thank you so much) and we are working on her little manners and she goes in her crate easily, she is making and holding eye contact with me, sits on command, and waits patiently for food.
When we take her outside at night she has her cute little gsd stance if there is something she isn’t sure of and isn’t fearful of anything! And she goes wherever I go! She does want to grab my ankles sometimes but she is learning that if she does I will walk away from her and she does not like that at all! She greets all her visitors that have come to meet her with kisses and a wagging tail!
The two older dogs are very patient with her and love to play! I was a little worried at first, but shouldn’t have been!
Thank you so much for our sweet Abby Clare!
