….He was relaxed hanging out in his crate with all the other dogs and activity with temps getting pretty toasty this afternoon. Got him out a couple times to stretch his legs. And when it was time for him to work, he was terrific. This is where you as his breeder come into the picture. To have a relaxed dog that doesn’t get stressed is wonderful. They can focus on the job at hand. I consider myself a decent trainer but nothing outstanding. Having a dog that I don’t have to overcome environmental issues makes it a relatively easy job to train.

Ramona,
You bred a beautiful, intelligent dog and probably litter as well. Jake is very driven, smart, very very very energetic. He sleeps with our other older dog in the downstairs level where there is a dog door to an enclosed kennel. It seems he doesn't need much sleep as he awakens about 4a.m. and is ready and pacing for his 5 a.m. breakfast. He just completed a second round of obedience training where he was introduced to commotion at a local park. He is a beautiful shepherd and my wife, who was hesitant to getting another dog, absolutely loves him. He will be an excellent companion on her hikes and I wish I could get him to join me in my tractors. He is probably about 70+ pounds, very lean long and tall, and a voracious eater. I'm so glad we got him from you. 

Hope you and family are well as well as the cool animals.

I appreciate you reaching out.

Ramona,
What a great young dog and representative of a German Shepherd. Other people and dogs don’t bother him at all, zero reactivity, he is perfect for traveling and being in public. His focus for a 9-month-old male is truly exceptional.

Kobuk qualified 6 for 6 entries, placed in all; 3 - firsts, 2 - seconds, 1 - third and earned his title in Novice Interiors.

As I’ve said before…you’ve given me great raw material to work with.

Hi Ramona,
Hildy is doing great! Super smart and incredibly athletic. She is a keeper! Hope your Easter went well.

“….These hips for PennHIP were some of the tightest I've seen for a while- especially for a German Shepherd.  Great job breeding for those!  Let us know if you have any questions or concerns,

Hi Ramona
Shadow is a fantastic young dog. Great temperament, we love her guarding instincts and very chill in the house for her age. She’s been good with people of all ages, especially my 1 yr old nephew. Everyone who has visited our house has been very complimentary on her character.

Gaby loves the water. She has great temperament, loves to visit the neighbor kids and things are going well with the chickens and ducks.

Hello Ramona,

Freya is a great youngster, very smart and easy to train.

I took her shopping not too long ago and she did really well, every time I stopped to look at something she would lay down and wait until I was ready to go. I was very proud of her!

She is doing a great job around my 10-month-old granddaughter. As you can see she is already very comfortable around her.

She is a great addition to our family.

Thank you!

Best regards, Jutta

Much accomplished by these two at only 11 months of age! Fantastic job Cindi of raising and training a happy, willing working dog. And to Kobuk, for bringing such joy to all who see & encounter him and being a wonderful, beautiful example of the German Shepherd breed.

I sure love this guy. Thank you! It would have been impossible to have found a better fit. I could not be happier!
