Hey Jennifer, We wanted to update you on how Panzer (Gwyn) was doing. She has exponentially increased in size.. last time we had her weighed.. at 5 months.. she was 55lbs. She will be 7 months in one week, and I bet she is close to 70lbs. Her trick arsenal has increased in proportion to her weight.. It now includes.. In english Come, Sit, Stay, Laydown, Belly, Rollover, Crawl, Speak, Whisper, Spin, Fetch, Find It, Shake, Take It, Jump, Bathroom, and more...... and in Czech she knows Come, Sit, Laydown, and Stay. We are absolutely amazed at her progress, she seems completely automatic. Anyway, I've attached a picture for you too. Hope all is well. -Brad Hankins & Erin Kirkpatrick

Hey there Jennifer!!!! Well first of all, Faith is the best GSD ever... and even more the best DOG ever!!! She has not only made me the happiest mom I could be but has taught me patience (you would have thought I learned that from my first child) but she also taught me that training a dog is ESSENTIAL to any type of dog breed and human! (yes, I've learned training is not just for the canine companion) She is absolutely FANTASTIC! And... you have helped me along the way and I am very appreciative of that. When I was first interested in the German Shepherd breed and was researching and trying to figure out if the GSD was the right dog for my family, I contacted you because I looked up breeders in North Carolina. You answered my questions without knowing I was going to purchase a puppy from you or for the lesser fact, that I was even going to choose a GSD as the "perfect" dog for me. You took time answering all of my questions, helped me understand the breed more and through doing so we became friends. That is the NUMBER 1 reason I chose you to purchase my puppy from. You took that time without needing me to spend money on one of your dogs.. but you did so because of your knowledge and love for the breed! And with that, you kept me updated with everything! We talked on the phone, we e-mailed all the time. You sent pictures and you even helped me pick out "my special puppy" because I wasn't close enough to come check her out in person. When it came down to pick up time... I didn't feel like I was picking up a layaway at Wal-Mart, it was as if I was coming to pick up a precious jewel of yours that you loved and nurtured and I should feel PRIVILEGED to be taking home with me! And I want nothing more than to make you a proud breeder to show you how well your fur-baby is growing up! Thank you Jennifer for all your help and when it comes to fur-baby number 2, I will definitely be coming to you! (Which now I know why people say German Shepherds are addictive... we're already thinking about another one!)
Your friend, Anne Doty

Hi Jennifer,
Just a note to let you know that Britka is doing well. We love her to death and vice versa. She is just the perfect dog! She is sensitive and ultra obedient. She doesn't like anybody else, however, with the only exception being our older shepherd. Sadly, Zoe appeared to have a stroke this summer and is fading. Britka is very attached to her and has learned from her, but we are wondering whether we can expect her to tolerate another dog. We have always had two dogs together, but feel uncertain now as Britka is adamant in her dislike of strangers coming onto the farm and we wonder whether that would translate into the same for strange animals. Any thoughts??
Your new puppies look so delightful, but we wouldn't want to make a mistake.
In any case best wishes with all your new litters. I can't believe people won't be falling all over themselves to have one. As always, we would be more happy to provide a more than satisfied reference since Britka is more than we ever could have asked for in our dog.
Best regards,
Susan Van Huis

Hey Jennifer here is a nice picture of me and Chopper at the training field. He is doing so nicely. Chopper is such a wonderful dog, I cannot complain about him. Chopper has gotten much darker that I thought he would but he is a nice looking male to me. I just want to thank you so much for letting me have him. I always knew he was suppose to be my dog and he is. I would not trade him for any other dog.
Thanks
Janice

Jennifer,
attached are some pictures of my little princess Copper... a.aka. my daughter..
just wanted to get in touch and thank you once again for copper... She is now a little over 1 1/2 years old and has such a great personality. she is such a character and such a wonderful family member... my friends all keep telling me that she is an excellent dog, and everyone that meets her and gets to know her falls in love with her and always comes back to visit, while also, she is excellent at keeping solicitors away from the house. we won't tell them that her bark is bigger than her bite.
she has really been a joy in our lives here in california. it amazes me that she does not have a typical dog's personality, and seems to know and understand so much more than a dog should... as she gives me the guilt trip, if we don't make it to the dog park. thank you once again for Copper (anja), and please let me know when you think you will have another litter, as i may be looking for another excellent friend from you...
thanks again,
Rich

Dear Jennifer,
I just wanted to let you know that Duff, previously known as Griffin, is an absolute joy. John and I could not have asked for a better puppy. We moved to Greensboro at the end of August and he's happy at his new house. I just wanted to send you some pictures so you could see his progress. He's almost six months (Oct 13th) and weighed 60 lbs at 5 months....but the vet says it's muscle, not fat. :) Timberwolf organics is some great stuff! Duff says hello. Thanks so much and congraduations on your excellent breeding skills :)
Very Sincerely,
Kathryn Erickson

Dear Jennifer:
I'm sorry it has taken so long to contact you but I had problems with my computer. Anyway I wanted to let you know that Kado is the sweetest puppy I have ever had. He is very loving, smart and growing up to be a big boy. I don't know if you remember he had huge ears, well he still has plenty of ears to grow into. I can't wait to see what he looks like in another year.

Hey Jennifer!
How are things going for you? Just wanted to give you an update on Ozzy...( everyone kept messing his name up with Gandalf, so we changed it to Ozzy) He is doing great, and getting so big!!! He's completely potty trained and tells you when he wants to go out, and pretty much poops on command..lol!! He can sit, shake, double shake (with both hands) and dance...he fetches ok, but he doesn't like to give whatever he's fetching back too well yet...his favorite toys are socks, his frisbee and the laser pointer. Anyway, he is a complete joy and everyone he meets falls instantly in love with him...i just had one question though..when does the green in his ear wear off? Just wondering...they're both standing up now and he looks goofy with one green one...anyway, just let me know. Again, thank you so much for a super puppy! We love him soooo much! Have a wonderful day!
Always,
Erica and Joe

Jennifer,
Here are some pics of Super Max "AKA" Dorian
Three words sum it up!!! What a Dog. He's amazing, the way he is with the girls I have never seen before. I don't think they can do wrong in his eyes. I posted a message in your guest book a few months ago talking about how smart and stable he is. I'm happy to say he has'nt changed at all. Maybe a little better!!! He loves other dogs and people are only are strangers until he gets close and hears a reassuring voice from us that all is fine. We Love Maximillian and as you can see from the pics the girls are ga ga over him. That's all we wanted and you helped us find the right Shepherd for our family, for that we will always be in your debt.
By the way, Did I mention he Luuves Pillow fights?, He's not complete until he has one every morning with Carolais and the girls.
Our Best,
The Goodmans

Hi Jennifer;
Sorry it has taken so long to send you pictures. Aris has really fit in with our family. He is so well behaved; we take him with us everywhere. The people at Home Depot are so impressed with his manners. His favorite place to sleep at night is with the boys. Right now, because of the renovating that is still going on, the boys mattresses are downstairs on the floor -- no problem for Aris to climb on up with his favorite boy of the night! He and our other shepherd, Laika, get along great, and they play, play, play. Our old retriever, Squirt, pretty much tries to act like Aris doesn't exist. Aris respects that, and leaves him alone. He is such a smart puppy! One thing that is so cute is that during the day if he is inside (especially when it is so flippin hot) Aris always rests on the air conditioner vents. He knows where the vents are in every room; that's where he flops down.
By the way, do you have any busines cards? Several people have asked me where I got Aris. Its funny; it seems like 30 to 50 years ago, a lot of people owned GSD. I say this because so many people have told me that they grew up with a GSD, best dog in the world, would love to have another, etc.
Hope all is well with you and your human & canine family.
Thank you so much for taking care of Aris and providing us with such a fantastic boy! I'll keep sending more pics . . .
-Andrea

Dear Jennifer, Hello! We hope that you are doing well- We have looked at the new pictures of all your new puppies and we have to say that they are adorable. Bailey Cain is a wonderful dog. He has learned so much already and he listens to all three of us. He is very patient and gentle. He is also extremely playful and will always grab his one of his toys when he wakes up and goes to sleep with his favorite ball in his mouth. Comparing him to our old German Shepherd, he is very patient, gentle, and kind to everyone. Our old one was anti-social and hated animals. Bailey loves everyone; he loves to meet people and doesn't even pay attention to other dogs or animals. He is extremely attached to us, and he makes us laugh everyday. He follows us wherever we go and he tells us what he wants. His vocabulary includes: treat, hungry, no, stay, leave it, paw, drop, car-ride, walk, bailey, sit, toy, easy. My daughter is amazed at how gentle he is and how much he really wants to learn. She told me that she will definitely get a puppy for herself when she moves out from you. I, too, plan to get all my German Shepherds from you, and I tell everyone I know about your site and how amazing the dogs really are. We couldn't imagine our life without Bailey. He is just so personable and very loving. He is only 11 months and we can't wait to see what life has in store for all us. We highly recommend you to anyone who wants to own a German Shepherd. Sincerely, The Novak Family

Hi Jennifer, Just wanted to give you an update on Gent and send some pics. He is doing great! We are calling him Jake and he is growing like a weed. He walks really well on the leash. He already knows "sit" and '"down" and we are working on "stay" but that is a whole lot of self-control for a puppy! I can't say he loves his crate, but he is getting better at staying in it for short periods of time during the day. His temperament is wonderful. He is tentative at first but then friendly with new people. He's been great with the neighbors' kids and he really loves playing with our mixed 4 yr old female dog. Hope you enjoy the pics. Susan

Hey Jennifer just wanted to drop you line about Dutch (Alpha). He just got his shot today and weighs 30 lbs. He is getting so big. Everyone at the
vets just could not stop telling me how good looking he was wandering
and kept asking where did I get him. I am getting ready to take him to
one of my co-workers club down in L.A. to see what the sport of
schutzhund is all about. Thx's again for a great dog

Hey Jennifer I just wanted to let you know that Alpha aka "Dutch" is
doing fine. His flight was a little delayed, but everything went
smoothly. The first night home was rough but the second night so far
no problems. It seems like crate training him is going to be a breeze.
He even looks better in person and darker. Out of all the shepherd
puppies that I have seen on the internet and other ones that friends
and family have purchased his looks are second to none. I am curious
to see what he is going to look like when he gets older. He already
has so much drive in him as it is I hope it continues as he gets
older. Thx's again for a great puppy I could not be happier.

Britka Vom Mystical Haus ~ SOLD ~ Condradulations Susan, NY
Dear Jennifer,
I wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying Britka. She is such a wonderful puppy. She is very smart and willing and wants to be with us all the time. She learned our farm routine very quickly. She seems to like the horses and is careful around them but not afraid. Britka's days are mostly filled with farmwork and puttering around the fields with our older shepherd who she adores (and vice versa!). I take her with me in the truck to do errands so she will get off the farm and see other people. She has so much to do that she is sleepy at night. After her plane trip, Britka hated her crate but she was smart enough to sleep all night on a dog bed in our room right from the start which worked out well for all of us. We just couldn't be any more pleased with her, but the best thing is how pleased she seems to be living with us.
Thank you very much for sending us such a nice puppy.
Sincerely, Susan Van Huis

Jennifer: Here are some pictures of Sasha at 4 months. She weighs 50lbs. She is in obedience classes, She can sit, lay down, crawl and sometimes walks on a leash the right way. She is an adorable dog and very sweet. She just doesn't realize she is so big. Thanks for the cherished member of our family. Regina Lipe
