From Tony and Amy in CO:

Dear Sonia,
Just as we expected, Beija has been a wonderful addition to our family… she
is smart, good-natured and confident, and we adore her. She weighs about 50
pounds now, but her deep bark makes her sound like she’s twice that size
when she’s showing her protective side.
I took her to a dog-friendly community fair a while ago, and I was really
impressed with how she handled it… her true temperament really shined
through, because the more chaotic the environment became, the calmer she
was! She loves playing with other dogs and as you can see from the photo I
took today, she loves splashing in water at every opportunity.
Thank you for our wonderful girl… we’ll update you on occasion with her continuing adventures.

From Eddie in NV:

Everyone at the club
loves Mojo, he is doing very well at tracking and obedience. The President
of the club asked about you (the breeder) and if anymore of Mojo’s litter
mates are available? I also take him over to the park almost everyday. They
often have girl’s softball games going on with many people around. He’s
doing fantastic with behaving in a crowd. Many of the girls go goo, goo over
him :) I’ve been letting the little kids pet him and he’s taking to it well.
It’s been very easy to train Mojo and I feel like I couldn’t have found a better GSD puppy. I’m so very proud of him and enjoy everyday of puppyhood. It’s been to easy compare to what many go though raising a puppy.
From Michelle in NC:
I am sending you an update on Bella. She is doing great! I have attached a
picture of her that I took today. Her and my golden are becoming better buddies
every day. She and my son who is 2 1/2, have fun chasing each other around the
house! She runs after him and instead of knocking him down when she catches up
with him, she kind of side swipes him gently. She and my daughter who is 5 1/2,
get along great too. Bella gives her hundreds of kisses and they lay down
together and snuggle. It's very sweet!
From Cheryl (Dr. in Canid
Biology) in MO:
Bita is fitting in to the household very well, including learning quickly to respect the two 17-year-old cats. She loves her daily romps in the nearby park where she enjoys the attention of all the people. I’m also impressed with how she handles herself with the dogs she meets there. She’s confident without being aggressive, and she loves playing with the younger dogs. At home she’s lovable and playful, but content to amuse herself with her toys when I’m busy. Such a great pup!
From Dave and Beckie in NH:
Cona is doing GREAT! What an amazing pup. We all just love her, even our yorky. She is so sweet and smart. Yesterday she figured out how to let herself out of her crate while Beckie was out, and had a great time getting into their food and bones. I had seen her trying to unlatch the crate before when the yorky was in it but I never thought she could actually get it open. I also can not believe how easy she is to house train. From the first day she seemed to know to go outside. One of the few accidents she had was on the second day, she was pacing in front of our door but I never thought she already knew to go outside. We have had her to the Vet and you will be glad to know he totally agrees with you on subject of too many vaccines being given. And also everyone there thought she was wonderful. Thank you so much for such a wonderful pup. Beckie will send some pictures.
From Vicki and
Don in IN:
Sonia,
I can’t tell you how thrilled we are with “Barron”. He is fitting in wonderfully with our family! He is VERY smart and amazes us daily. He has only had one accident indoors and will lightly paw the door to let us know that he needs to go out. His ball drive is incredible! He will “fetch” a tennis ball and bring it back to us over 50% of the time, he loves to pull on his toys, and I see him raise his head and sniff the air to find us. We are raising him on the “BARF” diet, and he is doing wonderfully! He is a very satisfied pup showing a great aptitude for tracking and work. He seems fearless and is willing to tackle new experiences, such as steps etc... with great curiosity and determination. He will bark and alert me when someone comes into the yard, but is eager to meet family members who have come over to meet him. He has more than met our expectations, and he is only 9 weeks old!!!! Thanks for rounding out our family!
From Jeff and Betty in NJ:
Hi Sonia,
What a smart girl, just like you had said we are having a great time with her
and so are the boys (my two rescues). She is not at all afraid of them tells
them right off if need be. She is a quick learner, very inquisitive and
seems to already have been exposed to many things in the home. She is not afraid
of too much and as we had wanted, she stands her ground.
She has a good appetite, as does everyone in this household. She ventures into
everything, has tried the dog doors with no trepidation, as I said, no fear.
Thank you for breeding such a well temperamented German shepherd you are a
credit to the breed and we so appreciate it.
Hi Sonia,
I wish we could take everyone
that's left, we are so happy with Brixi, aka Olivia. She is so so smart and so
so easy we have had no problems, she is learning so much so soon and I
absolutely love the interaction with the boys. She is so secure and seems to be
afraid of nothing, what a difference excellent breeding makes. Both of the boys
are wonderful but are both rescues. One of the trainers I had worked with
years ago when I had my first 2 Shepherds, (from a breeder in Mass.) said I
would become a "dog snob" which at the time I didn't understand, but he was
right. We both have such admiration for, as I said before, excellence. So Sonia
again thank you.
From Lisa in TX:
Dear Sonia,
We are really happy with Bianca. She has been in our family for 5 days now and
she has really incorporated herself into the family. She is very sweet, playful
and outgoing. She is never timid or show any signs of nervousness. Even when
my daughter drags her around the house, Bianca is a good sport.
Bianca's coloring is just what we wanted. We feel confident she is going to
grow up to be a beautiful dog. Most importantly, Bianca is a very easy puppy to
have around. She is learning things very quickly rather than being one of those
puppies that destroys the house. She was crate trained without ever having one
accident in her cage! Thanks for everything.

Bibi (Hannah for us) is wonderful…absolutely wonderful. She’s doing just fine with Jake, she slept right next to him last night…whittled her way right between us on the bed, made me laugh. She is going up and down stairs (on the deck outside) all by herself! She has only had one accident (pee) in the house, otherwise she’s gone outside. She’s been a big hit in the neighborhood…all the neighbors have been over visiting and Hannah just eats it right up. She’s a blessing.

It's about time we got to sit to write how happy we are with Chloe
and Casey (formerly Clarence). They have met their new vet
and were wonderful during their appointment. They have
taken to the new house and surroundings with such ease!
House training is actually going very well considering there
are two to keep track of! They play with each other
constantly and are great company for each other. They're
both incredibly smart and yet very tender and sweet.

From Cathy in
MO:
Sonia,
Cher (aka Reeses--because
she looks like a peanut butter cup) is a beautiful and friendly puppy! It's so
hard not to hold her all the time. She follows readily and loves sleeping on
our feet while we are sitting on the couch or at our office desk. She slept
through the night by our bed (next to her crate to get used to it) and is
responding well to all our family pets; although our cats aren't so thrilled
with her. Aislynn loves her so much, as we all do! We are so grateful we met
you--you truly care for your animals and raise the puppies to be happy and
healthy! I will send pictures to you soon!
