| January 22, 2012 High caliber AKC German Shepherd Litter due Feburary 22nd-Lailana/Rex! |
| I just wanted to give an update on Harley (Buszke/Dresden son). Today he is 4 months old/38lbs. Harley is the joy of our life. We take him every place we go and his coat is so shiny. He is also so friendly with everyone. He was easy to house break & loves to cuddle and eat. I guess what I am trying to say, Harley is our pride and joy. We have been blessed-he is so beautiful. Everyone he meets he loves & everyone that meets him loves him. Thank you so much for this part of our family! Marian and Lynn |
| "I want to thank you so much for our puppies (sisters). 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 |
| 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 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 from Arkansas |
