"You have made this first dog purchase really easy and stress free...I'm glad I was referred to you...Rambo is
already doing awesome on Day 2; he's already  understanding to sit on command!" -- C. Mychal Feuchter, owner
of a Buszske/Aragon son Feb 2010.
"I want to thank you so much for our puppies [Jada/Pyro daughters].  They are the best & easiest we have ever
had.  We can tell you have definitely put time into them.  They don't whine at night, they know their names, and
are very well mannered. We were expecting regular pups but definitely did not receive them.  We expected to not
sleep much for the first week or so. We slept perfect the first night.  Wow!!  We are truly amazed by our girls.  They
adjusted to our family the first day, which we think is unbelievable.  We thought it would be quite the adjustment for
them coming home to three smaller children.  But, to our surprise, not at all.  These puppies have been a dream to
bring home.  We don't know how to thank you enough.  We expected the first couple of months to be quite hectic, but
that has already proved wrong. They are even getting simple commands already.  We are so truly impressed!  
Your hard work with these puppies has made our lives much easier.  I would be glad to pass your name on to
anyone interested in a german shepherd puppy."  Carrie Hargrove about her 2- GSD pups from us
We received Bella from you a few months ago and have been very impressed with her.  I am not exactly new to the German
Shepherd breed.  In the very short time we have had Bella, we have been very impressed with her balanced disposition. She is now
18 weeks and just had her 1st visit to the dog park.  As soon as we entered the park, Bella went to investigate the other dogs in the
park with very little fear.  After a few minutes, she was off exploring the dog park and its inhabitants without us in the immediate
area.  We always kept an eye on her, but let her have her freedom to help maintain her already high self confidence. Amy and I
attribute much of this high self confidence and her balanced disposition to her early experience with you. We believe that the
fact she had experience with so many other dogs with you and, of course, the attention you and your family shower these pups
bolstered these traits early on.  Again, we would like to commend you on your passion and job as a breeder. Thank you for your
hard work,  Amy & Chad Gilligan
Zaun is doing great...Good luck with your future pups, and Tanyau and I really appreciate your kind words. You have two
very nice children, and Tanyau and I have been talking about your dogs. She likes Aragon and the six month old female
Mina. You have some very nice dogs and we both can tell that you are very involved in producing some of the best
GSDs around.  --Rodney & Tanyau Randolph from Arkansas
