Ramona, First let me say how sorry I am for not yet having followed through on our promise to send you photographs of Raven. Becoming a doctor was a big challenge and unfortunately I needed to put some important things on hold. However, now that I am a doctor, Liza and I want to make up for being remiss in our promise to you, so we are sorting through a number of sets of photographs in order to give you a chronology of Raven's development (i.e., six months, one year, two years, etc; yes she turned two in November, can you believe it?). Additionally, I hope you are well and enjoying the holidays. We looked at your current dogs while we were on your sight and they look impressive. We constantly think about getting Raven a buddy but have not yet been quite ready. Maybe if and when you breed Rocky and Penne again. Once again thank you for sending us the most incredible dog we could ever want to welcome into our home. She is truly remarkable. Her intelligence, beauty, power, loyalty, and sheer determination are a sight to behold. We just took her for a five day trip up to the beaches in Northern California where she could run free and show off. We all loved it. Bye for now, Dr. Christopher Heckert and Liza Zimring |

Hi Ramona! I hope the summer is treating you well! We
have been considering breeding Hannah, but are not sure how to proceed.
Neither of us have done this before, so it might not be the best option
for us. Hannah has been in season off and on several times, the most
recently a few weeks ago. She will be two this November, and we would
need to get her hips, etc. tested. Could you give me some advice? We
really have enjoyed Hannah and would love to have offspring from her. She
is incredibly smart, very family oriented, beautifully marked and in
fabulous shape. But maybe we should leave the breeding to the experts,
like you! Thanks! I have attached a few photos of Hannah taken today. Last time she was weighed at the vet was a few months ago and she was 75 lbs. She is very muscular and lean with large, powerful thighs. Probably from all the running she does playing fetch. We take her to the ocean and lakes to swim. She retrieves really well and is a strong swimmer. She has great eye sight also for retrieving, even when she is in the water. Remember when I had concerns with her and our ducks? Well, she now goes in the duck pen with Ben every morning to feed and water them. They get along great, no one bothering the other. Even when the ducks were nesting this Spring and had babies, she did well. I guess she understands they are part of the family. Take care! Kelli |

Ramona, Today we started obedience training for real, with the fellow that specializes in GSD's. He does a lot of Schuntzhund training along with obedience work. He said I have "a great pup" and "you'll have no trouble with whatever you do" after our first lesson. He said that because he has had a lot of experience with shepherds, that he sees a lot of shepherd pups for beginning classes and often has trouble finding something nice to say. He often works with folks who have a puppy bred locally, or in someone's backyard and he can tell right away that the breeding is not the best. Lots of white shepherds and "spooky" pups he says. So anyhow, he said it was so great to meet Kelso, as he is such a well bred pup! He put me in touch with someone who does S&R and said he'd love to see me come to one of his Sunday afternoon Schuntzhund club meetings to see if I am interested. He had mostly black and tan's but had a very pretty bicolor female that is also Czech bred. He looked over Kel's pedigree very carefully, and though said he had little Czech experience, he knew as much about the Czech kennels as I did from reading your web page. At the end he said Kelso had a very nice temperament and would be fun to teach. Just thought you'd like to here nice things said about your puppies, but I am sure you hear that a lot! take care, jenny |
