"...he is the greatest puppy.  Very smart, very calm, and we get constant compliments on his looks.  I've attached a picture of him now (70 lbs at 5 months).  Thanks again Anne!"

"Bristow is our first dog and to be honest, having a puppy was much less work than expected.  Most people tell me this is because she's a shepherd, but I think it's also due to her excellent breeding and sweet temperament.  Our kids love her and she is great with them.  She has just the right amount of guard dog instinct in her and alerts us only when absolutely necessary...not a barking, yapping or whining dog at all.  She's awesome!"
   Terri, Coronado, CA

"I just wanted to let you know Callahan is still doing great!!  He is a furry ball of energy...." 
   Tisha, Moorhead, MN

"...She is a delight and has a sense of humor, something none of my other shepherds ever had... she is a "hoot"....
Oh yes, she "grins" curling her upper lip.... and she never forgoes giving her opinion on everything... She has a perfect shepherd gait, is smart, a smart Alec and an absolute delight....'
   Penny, Antigo, WI

"We named her Cali, short for calico, since Frostie was white and Dartagnan was black and tan.  People comment all the time on what
a beautiful dog she is. She's got us pretty well trained, but we love her dearly. She loves to lay across our ottomans and chew on a bone or continuously bring us her tennis balls to throw. She weighs about 66 pounds. She's pretty excitable and still learning her manners around new people, but she's really smart and learns pretty quickly when she isn't being stubborn. She hasn't chewed up a potholder or shoe in quite a while, although she'll still parade across the room with one in her mouth once in a while just to show us who's boss...."
   Randy and Bobbie, Rapid City, SD

"...She is so funny, strong but very bratty & probably the most super- competitive, intelligent & smart dog one could wish for.  She is small  - we call her our tea-cup shepherd but Anne, she has the heart & will of a massive dog.  We love her to death & can't imagine our lives without her.  She is extremely precious, we wouldn't trade her for the world & are so thankful that she is ours -"
   Eric and Kim, Corona, CA 

"...She is a beautiful dog and I love her to death, very smart, extremely loyal, stays by my side all day long. She has turned into a excellent swimmer as well!...I do hope to get her trained to be a therapy dog so that we can go into childrens hospitals and hospices. I think her floppy ear makes her approachable and she is so good with kids!...Hope you enjoy the photos...she is the most beautiful dog ever!...Everyone loves Shadow...she has her own fan club in our neighborhood!..."
   Robert and TK, San Diego, CA

"Lilly has been the perfect dog and she is so loving and tender.  She is basically my wife's dog for sure.  At night I can't sleep in the same bed because those two take up the bed.  My kids just adore her and take her for walks everyday.  She has to say goodnight to all four of them.  I couldn't ask for a better dog..."
   Dave and family, Fargo, ND

"We couldn’t ask for a better best friend.  Odie has a personality all his own, and has become a regular, social butterfly at the dog park!  He is always right by our side, and we are constantly hearing complements on how handsome and well behaved  he is.   The only thing we struggle with is he has several food allergies, so we have to be on our toes at all times making sure he doesn’t get into anything.  Thank you so much for such a wonderful  dog."
  Tristie and Mike, Bismarck ND

"...Daisy is absolutely beautiful...She is a very loving dog, protective and full of energy. Loves to chew on furniture legs, I am waiting to sit at my computer desk one day and have the chair collapse...lol  good thing it isn't a good chair. She is starting to calm down though.  Right now she is 77lbs and in excellent health, great with both my kids, especially my daughter who is 5.Hope all is well on your end, thank you for such a beautiful dog.. she's my baby.......... I Love her to death....Daisy is the perfect addition to our family!          Marianne, Sewell, NJ

"Axel is doing very well.  If you go to www.completek9academy.com and view graduates, you will see Axel who has completed his first K-9 puppy class.  At 13 weeks he will begin his formal training.  I believe he will do very well as he is a quick learner.  Thank you again..."
   William, Fort Myers, FL 

[6 months:] ...Everyone who met him thought he was such a pretty dog and so well behaved for a puppy....  He never seems to tire of playing fetch with a ball. [1 year:] He gets better (as far as listening) as he ages.  He is very enjoyable and a lot of fun.  Brings a lot of humor into our lives..."
   Doug and Karen, Dickinson, ND 

"Bella as a baby, Bella now.  she is 110 lbs and is the neediest thing in the world.  never in a million years would I have guessed that a big German Shepherd would be such a love.  we love her.  thank you.."
