Repeat Mambo/Natasha breeding has taken place, litter due April 6th!

   NATASHA of Sapphire Mountain passed her AKC Tracking Dog TD title in Lincoln, MT.  Natasha completed her title track flawlessly, with praise from the Judges. Natasha is trained and handled by her breeder, Ramona Helmer.

Below is a very kind email received from a possible future client on the west coast.  This gentleman is experienced with the German Shepherd breed.   I had to smile when I read his requests in a pup, he is like all the rest of us, searching for that "perfect" German Shepherd.  I "thank" him for his support and appreciation of my work and hope to come "close" to fulfilling all of his requests soon.

Dear Ramona,

I'm writing to tell you of my continued interest and appreciation for your excellence in German Shepherd breeding, especially in your understanding and ability to produce strong, indomitable and incorruptible Breed Character in your dogs - a Working Character that goes far beyond Schutzhund scores.

I was delighted to see one of your dogs pictured on the cover of the March/April 2009 WDA Magazine. These dog's exude in a natural setting a wonderful sense of spontaneity, aliveness and happiness.

Needless to say, keep me in your thoughts for a future male puppy - balanced drives, (especially for the home), a strong self-assured disposition, a working discriminating intelligence, and a versatility of training abilities - with heavy bone, very dark sable or, bi-color with dark eyes, and as close to a V-conformation as we can get.

Lastly, in the current supermarket of every conceivable marketable type of German Shepherd Dog, including, the steady loss and deterioration of the remaining East German Dogs, I know of no other breeding program, or breeder other than yourself, that has stayed the course as true to the von Stephanitz "blueprint."

Stay in touch,

Ron
