AlphaTex Kennels
Why do we do, what we do?
We are often asked why do you not sell your puppies to working and show homes "only" to enhance the reputation of your kennel?
Why do you sell to just ordinary families where the dog will most likely never be in the public eye ever again?
I have thought of this often when I remember fondly all the years and friends that I had in the dog show world of the 1970s and '80s.
We are very grateful to the American Kennel Club and the dog fancy for forever insuring the beauty and quality of all the dogs we love.
For generations to come to enjoy.
But then I look at our refrigerator door and all of the pictures there, these are the reasons why we do what we do.
These pictures and the accompanying e-mails letters and phone calls are our trophies, our Best of Breeds and our Best In Shows.
We do what we do because:
Of the beautiful German Shepherd female that laid on the the death bed of a terminally ill cancer victim.
Bringing constant comfort and love to his last months of life. And then sharing the grief of his loss with his faithful widow for years afterwards.
And then there is the 3 year old that grew up with his very own "AlphaTex baby". All of his childhood memories are tied to his beautiful constant companion and playmate.
Or the 1 1/2 year old little "only child" that has the constant companionship love and protection of his German Shepherd female out on an isolated Texas ranch, to enhance his childhood memories.
Or the Marine that leaves for the war in Iraq, knowing that his wife and son are under the protective eye of the huge bi-black, AlphaTex German Shepherd male, back home in California.
Or the elderly retiree that takes his beautiful AlphaTex baby for walks in their nearby park and then informs us that we did not tell him what a "Babe magnet" she would be.
Or the soldier calling from Kurdistan on 3 second delay telephone during the war, to order a little German Shepherd female.
When asked why he was reserving a puppy when he was suppose to be over there fighting a war
. His reply was " that all the other guys over here have girls waiting for them when they get home, so I wanted a girl waiting for me when I get home, too."
And she was waiting for him in New Mexico and they are sharing their lives in the sunshine of Florida.
Or the firefighter in the forests of Alaska for 6 months at a time; that knows that his young family is protected by the massive AlphaTex Shepherd that he left with them at home.
Or the young cowboy on a Texas ranch that never climbs on his horse with out the constant companionship of his totally devoted AlphaTex Shepherd.
That is trying desperately to retrieve his herding instincts, so long ago forgoten by most of his breed.
Or the young military wife in Carolina that was waiting anxiously for her husband's return from the war; with his welcome home present, a squirming little German Shepherd puppy, in her arms.
Or the massive male AlphaTex Shepherd that runs up and down the stairs all day and night, playing with the children and protecting the residents of a "safe house", for abused wives and children.
Or the endless numbers of retires that grew up with memories of their childhood Rin Tin Tin, and now in their later years they are sharing their lives and often their RVs with their very own " AlphaTex Rin Tin Tin".
Or the newly widowed young mother that has the comfort of knowing that the protection of her family and home is insured by an AlphaTex female German Shepherd.
Or the many active young families that are creating their own memories for their children that are growing up with their very own Fur babies".
They provide endless hours of fun, love and play. Or the oilfield worker that has the constant companionship of his massive GSD, out in the vast openness of the Southern New Mexico oilfields.
Or the family that have a cabin on the lake that had a special dock built so their guy can get back to shore easily, after his daily swims and boat rides.
Or the two German Shepherd males that have the duty of protecting, and keeping the wild life away from a 22 acre estate in the woods, along side a river, in Washington state.
Or the young female German Shepherd that is keeping us all safe as she does her duties each day as part of the homeland security team.
Or on a sadder note there is the beautiful AlphaTex Shepherd that was one of the best cadaver dogs, on a search team, after disasters require his assistance.
Or the young German Shepherd that stayed by the side of her young, 1 1/2 year old charge, as she escaped out the front door of her parents home in the early dawn hours.
Only to be discovered hours later in a pasture across the road still at the side of the playing child.
Or the professional rodeo rider that travels all over the nation and sleeps well each night knowing that she, her horses, her truck, and trailer, are all protected by the beautiful German Shepherd sleeping at her feet.
Or the young teenager that wanted to try to show her new German Shepherd male; and took first place in the American bred class, her first time out.
Or the young AlphaTex female, that was shown by her young mistress to many, many wins and placements, in their first show experiences.
Or the newly divorced single mom that has the security of knowing that she and her children are protected by their beautiful AlphaTex Shepherd.
Or the numerous young professionals that have added an AlphaTex puppy to their family just because of their respect for "quality", in all aspects of their lives.
Or the young pre-veterinarian student that loves her AlphaTex baby because she understands the value, of good health and good genetics, in the selection of a healthy, quality puppy.
Or the single father who is trying, with the help of an AlphaTex baby, to restore the confidence and self-esteem of his young son, who had been a victim of an abusive home.
Or the couple in their mid-years that are trying to "feather" their "empty nest" with a new AlphaTex baby, to love and enjoy.
Or the female that was for ever in the second grade. She goes to school every day with her owner, a second grade teacher.
She gets to go out and play for recess which she really enjoys, but her primary job is to be the "Reading Dog".
Her job is to lay and listen unconditionally as each of the children takes turns reading to her.
Or the beautiful young German Shepherd female, that was the engagement gift for a young, New York City, bride .
Or the beautiful AlphaTex German Shepherd male puppies, that are the constant playmates and protectors of a Missionary's children, in the Old Mexico mission fields.
Or the beautiful big girl that was a loved friend and jogging partner of a young Army wife, as they both awaited the return of her husband from the war in Iraq.
Or the fabulous young female AlphaTex German Shepherd, who's duties include being the beloved playmate and protector of a little 5 year old only child.
Or the beautiful German Shepherd female baby, that was the welcome to recovery present;
for a beautiful young lady that had just returned from a massive hospital stay and three major surgeries in a row.
Or the beautiful sable AlphaTex baby that is in Oklahoma trying to mend the hearts of a loving family, dealing with the untimely death of the K-9, love of their life.
Or the wonderful male shepherd puppy that arrived just before a 4 year old little girl's birthday, to share a lifetime of love and protection for her and her family"
Or the beautiful AplhaTex Shepherd that is the diabetic detection dog for a beautiful; formally homebound, young lady.
Or the young male that fills many of the lonely hours of a recently divorced man, with unconditional love.
Or the beautiful little German Shepherd female that was a gift to two young children, to help them endure the illness of their mother as she fought her battle with cancer.

Or the police officer that leaves on shift knowing that his wife and family are under the care of a massive Eastern European bred AlphaTex German Shepherd, male.
Or a solider calling us early one Sunday morning from Baghdad, Iraq,
To reserve his children's Christmas puppy. But he reserved a baby that would be ready at the end of January, because he would be back in the states and wanted to give it to them himself, and he did.
Or the many, many AlphaTex Shepherds that are
PTSD service dogs, For numerous returning Vets.

Murphy Jethro Dega
{Locket X Sherman, Son}
Just wanted to give you a little update on Laramie, who we renamed to Dega. He’s
doing really great and I’ve been extremely impressed with his intelligence,
gentle nature and drive to please. I ended up with my family back together,
which meant getting my other GSD, Murphy, and my 13 year old man (who was
diagnosed with cancer today), Jethro, all back together under one roof. Murphy
and Dega have become best friends that never want to be separated and play
together until they drop. Dega has alreaedy been given full reign over the house
over-night without issue. I’ve found generally he will learn a new command after
only a few repetitions. I use an electric unicycle that does 18mph to run
him….and he’s almost faster than that even as young as he is. He’s around 50lbs
right now, which blows my mind….I think he’s going to be a big boy. I’ll send
his AKC registration paperwork off soon under “Alphatex’s Dega Von Kellerhaus.”
Thanks for all you guys do, very happy I found you and this giant fur ball of
love. Enjoy the pictures.

{ Whidbey Island, Washington}
Smokey welcoming his Daddy home, Back from Deployment
Mark, Sandra, and Kory,
I am writing for a few reasons. I purchased Smokey from Alpha Tex in December of 2006. He was a puppy from a litter of Ryker and Sage. When I got him, I was single and going through flight training in Texas. Smokey moved with me to Whidbey Island, Washington where I was stationed for over 10 years. He became a huge part of my life and very much part of the family. I got married in 2010 and we now have 2 kids. I was deployed several times during my time in Whidbey Island, and I always found someone to take great care of him while I was gone.
It is with a breaking heart that I wanted to let you know we had to put Smokey
down last week on September 5, 2018. He almost made it to 12 years old. I miss
him like crazy! The words I would use to describe Smokey are Loyal and
Faithful.
The picture below is when Smokey met me when I returned from one of my
deployments. I was single at the time; a lot of the other people had their
wives or family members to welcome them, but I had Smokey. A photographer
captured Smokey running and jumping up to greet me. This is my favorite picture
of Smokey. What a wonderful dog and friend Smokey was!
Smokey lived a great life and he was great with our kids. He was so protective and would always have to be right beside us no matter where we were.
Thanks for letting me purchase Smokey 12 years ago. He was a God send to me,
and I am so thankful for the times and memories we shared.
We will be moving in the spring and I wanted to see if you have plans for any puppies available around March / April timeframe. I am still grieving from losing him, and there is no way to replace him, but I am interested in getting another German Shepherd. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Luke Brown
Sandra; I wanted to give you an update on the much beloved baby you sold to us. She passed yesterday, and she was such a good and beloved part of our family. She was very healthy up to the last week before she passed and it seemed that her body quit on her. We are heartbroken, as you can imagine, but she will always be beloved in our home, and by everyone that met her. She was not perfect, not even close, but it was those odd things that made her unique. i want to say thank you for that beautiful girl and the years of love and loyalty she gave us.
13 years 9 months BTW.

Hi
Sandra, And Mark
I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you But the puppy is doing
incredible. We named him Nicco, Russian for " victory " and he will
know nothing but.
I think. He is just as you said, a dog with high drive that needs a working
home. He is so much like my Navy dogs. Ultra alpha and wants a job so bad and
has no patience for stupidity. He goes walking everyday and it took him about
three days to learn to walk on the end of the long line about 15 feet ahead of
us. It is so cute. He has found his place walking in between Bella and Tele
acting as if he owns the world. And he takes it all so seriously. He wasn't
afraid of anything when we got him but he did hesitate at a few things, looking
at me for guidance. Now he takes his cues from the other two and never worries
about anything. It probably helps to have backup but that was what I was
counting on. When he gets some age and size, he'll rule the world. I can already
see it.
I took him to the vet for his rabies vaccine and he's unreal being such a baby
yet. He walked in on his lead like no other dogs do. Sits and waits. Then with
all that confidence, walks in to the exam room, walks up to my vet and looks him
right in the eye. When he got his shot, he licked his hand and he let my vet
give him a once over, listening to his heart, etc. and he takes it so trusting.
Then he was sitting on the exam table looking the doctor right in the eyes,
while he strokes his fur back on his face talking to him about what a good boy
he is and Nicco licked his face. My vet happens to be one of my best and oldest
friends and he said these German " military " dogs are unbelievable.
No wonder they are so successful in battle. So Nicco made a friend then walked
out the door, no pulling or anything, walks through the parking lot up to my
truck and sits looking up at the door waiting to get in.
He is everything I could have hoped for and I can't thank you enough. I'm
definitely going to keep in touch and I would love to get a bitch sometime in
the future.
I'll send photos of his progress and with some of his Navy buddies, both the K-9
and human kind.
Tim and I enjoyed meeting Mark and found lots to talk about. Would love to meet
more of your dogs someday.
Thanks again. Be assured your baby is in a good home loving his new family and
living up to everything you bred him to be.

Hi
Sandra and Mark hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and best of health for
the New Year! I just would like to thank you for choosing the right dog for us.
Ruisty
is a very intelligent dog and minds great. Everyday I just cradle him in my arms
telling him that I love him. I'm so glad that I hung in there, that first week
of getting bit by him I was ready to give him away but after your email I
changed and started showing him who the boss was and that's all it took.
He makes me laugh at night when it is time for bed I can no longer stay up late
by myself and play games because he won't let me he will cry if both of us are
not in that bed. He is the best dog I have ever had other than my Spits that I
bottle fed. Again thank you.
Frances
*****************************************
Hi
Sandra,
Just wanted to let you all know we got home just fine. This dog is more than any
if us could have dared hope for. I've almost always had a dog most of my life
but have never had one this sweet natured, mellow and easy to train. He is
basically already housebroken, has never gotten into anything and leaves an
entire room of little birds alone. Although, he does steal dish towels, socks
and my shirts to add to his "baby" collection and he is honestly
puzzled and hurt why the dogs in the mirrors and glass doors won't come play
with him, he is still as close to perfect right out of the gate as you can get.
Tim is a little sorry now that he didn't let me get 2 while we were there! We
will see how we're doing in 6 months and maybe we will be ready. Thank you very
much for your graciousness and hospitality letting us take so much time making
our decision. We love him.

Hey

I wanted to let you know how blessed I am to have purchased a dog, Moses, from

He has been nothing but great, called beautiful more time than I can count, and the vet I take him to say he is the most well behaved dog they've ever seen.
I am so thankful to have been able to purchase such a high quality dog and breed through you. I've included a few pictures of him

Hi
Sandra,
Things are going good with Ace so far. Daisy and Max haven't been very welcoming
yet but they will all lay on the same couch with him this evening. Ace is
sleeping great, right between my husband and myself, he doesn't cry or even ask
to go out during the night. I only sleep around 6 hrs so he is doing great with
that, I just get the occasional face lick while sleeping. Yesterday one of his
ears stood up for a little while, very cute.
He is going to start a puppy class at Petsmart next weekend.
Thanks again,

Hey you guys! It's Ashlee here again. I purchased my puppy from you out of Cash

This is the baby now, he's 36 pounds and full of spunk. In fact, I changed
his name from Rasta to Alpha, because it perfectly describes his personality!
He's extremely smart and is doing very well in his puppy kindergarten classes,
and really enjoys them! I've got him potty trained now and he is doing
great in the house. He also loves our pool. He is already a great companion and
can only get better. We are all so happy! Thank you again for what you guys do

Sandra and Mark, Just wanted to touch base with you to let you know we are just loving our Thor. He is not afraid of anything and a little hard headed. He is really smart and potty trained fast. He seems to be happy in his new home. He is settling in to his new life quite well. Some days a little too well. He is a very smart dog and picks up commands fast, when we can get time to listen. He is much like any toddler into everything and chewing on everything. Alek and Zach are enjoying him,too. Thor is good for teaching them to keep their stuff picked up. We share with everyone where we got him as everyone says he is such a good looking pup. Thank you

Hello Sandra, Mark and Kory. As you will recall I purchased a male pup from the Kit and Kramer litter. we named him Axel after his Granddad. Attached is a recent picture. Approaching 5 months old he is becoming a fantastic dog. He is enrolled in the AKC Good Citizen program here and in a few weeks I think he will receive his certificate. He is the star of his class of seventeen other dogs. I âm very proud of him. Anyway, I am so happy to own this pup that I just don't have the words to express my feelings. He is everything I had hoped for and more. I can't thank you enough. Robert
***************************
I just wanted to send you a
small update on how our puppy is doing!
First things first I suppose; we named him Logen. (Our banker is named Monte so
we decided to change it. ;) Logen is a favorite character from a book for both
Shane and I, so we decided on that.) He is a fantastic dog. I am not sure what I
was expecting exactly, but sleepless nights was something I assumed would happen
for sure. No such thing. Logen is incredibly well mannered, and such a sweet and
calm boy. He didn't eat too well for the first 24h or so, but now he's eating
great. We've only had a few accidents inside, and he seems to be getting the
whole "go putty outside" concept really well. He even told Shane
he had to go out last night. He is absolutely great with the kids and we have
only seen very little of the nipping/mouthing, and that only when he gets worked
up playing and excited. He is also a perfect gentleman on the leash, which blows
me away, considering how young he is. He tends to follow me around the house but
lies down at my/our feet if we stop in one place. He hasn't seemed very stressed
out about the big change with coming here at all, though you can tell that he's
getting more familiar with us and his place here by the day. He is also great
with our cats; at first he was incredibly curious about what they were exactly,
but now he's figured them out and though he tries to invite them to play
(something the cats are not entirely impressed with) he doesn't chase them or
act bad at all. He of course comes with us when the kids and I drive out to the
farm to visit daddy during the day or afternoon, and he also slept through our 5
year old Marcus's T-ball practice two days ago. Yesterday we went to the vet and
they complimented him greatly. I am so incredibly happy he is part of our family,
he really is an incredible sweetheart and such a good puppy. We'll keep sending
you updates as time passes, and like I said if you ever need anything from us,
or want to come visit or whatever, just let us know! Thank you! ~Malin

Hello Mark, Sandra and Kory...
It's been so long since I've spoken to any of you... and you may not remember me
at all with all the families you've come to know. However, I bought a
beautiful Ryker baby from you in 2007 and named him "Dallas." He
was the love of my life and my best friend in every way.
I lost Dallas last winter... i was attacked by two pit bulls while running with
my boy on our regular route we'd taken hundreds of times..Dallas protected me
and held off the two male pit bulls long enough for me to get away. His
injuries were bad enough that he could not be saved. But I do not doubt
for a moment that he saved my life. Their owner had left the gate unlocked
and the dogs were wandering through town. They were after me, not Dallas.
It was one of the most traumatic and saddening experiences of my life. I
haven't jogged on that trail since. Both pit bulls were put to sleep.
He fought without wavering until he saw I was safe. I buried him next to
my father and brother.
So, after much thought, i've decided i want another alpha tex boy...
I will need to do the payout plan once again. But I have no desire to go
ANYWHERE else for my new guardian and friend. Your dogs are not only
beautiful, but loyal to the death. I am so grateful to have had him in my
life.
Please let me know what you have available when you have time... and thanks
again for my beautiful, beautiful, brave boy. would be honored if you
would put this email on your page. any way to remember my boy... and for
any prospective customers to understand the love the breed will give to them and
the love your family gives these babies before they come to their new
homes.

of the two... and since I am single and alone with my daughters... i want the
boy that's going to be the biggest and as masculine as dallas was. i
trust you and mark to make that decision for me. dallas was the perfect
choice and i'll never forget the day mark brought him to me. i work with
gang members, criminals, etc... and was NEVER afraid when dallas was with
me. i definitely want that same comfort again. i'd feel blessed if
the two of you could make that decision based on my needs for a protector and
friend. the new boy will be trained as a therapy dog and go to work with
me eventually. i've already ordered his first puppy vest and will schedule
his training asap.
so let me know which boy you two feel would be best for me. tell Kory
hello as well. look forward to hearing from you. with friendship,
jenn
p.s. on a side note, i think these dogs develop such a connection with
their owners... i had a dream shortly before i lost dallas... that he was
gone... i woke up panicked, thinking he was gone, only to find him asleep next
to me on the floor. he died two days later. i still have dirt marks
on the paint where he laid down muddy one day...and i intend to leave them there
forever. again, thank you for picking him...he healed my heart in so many
ways.
mark and sandra... i wanted this thank you to
be waiting for you when you get home this evening... along with a picture of my
boy... i hope that you can attach it to your page somehow with my email in his
memory. he was beautiful and i still look at him and cry with gratitude
that he gave his life for me that day in January.
i've cried several times today... i cannot express to you the relief i feel in
knowing i have another boy on the way who will love me the way Dallas did. as
well as the gratitude that comes from knowing the two of you picked this boy
especially for me. i feel very blessed.
i'm not sure what name we will end up with for this new boy. when i picked
Dallas up from Mark in 2007 his name came out of nowhere.. so i'm going to see
what names come to me this time as well. i'll let you know as soon as I
decide. he may just end up "Dallas"... all over again.
see you soon, and thank you again with much much love. jenn

Hi AlphaTex family! its been a while since you've heard from me. we got one of your missy and agitator boys a year ago this summer. its hard to believe that in just a couple days this little *actually not little at all* will turn a year old already! i named him Tiberius *full name Tiberius Von AlphaTex Enterprise* and he really fills out such a big name. he weighs over 80 lbs the last time he was weight, i'm sure hes surpassed that by now, and its one tall fella. he loves to play with all the other dogs around and just has an all around great attitude. hes one of the smartest dogs i have ever met, which is sometimes to my disadvantage. he has truly helped me out in ways i never would have thought. he is a great protector without needing training and has actually already saved me in a few scary instances. he is my rock. i'm getting ready to graduate college here in May and once that is done my boy and i are headed back up north where he will have a four acre fenced yard to play around in and i nice big house to keep me company in. i cannot tell you how many compliments i get about him on a daily basis, he is truly a great example of the breed, and i always tell people where i got him from, i hope a few of those people have trickled your way. i just wanted to thank you guys again for giving me one great dog. i couldn't of asked for anything better!~Samantha PS. i'll try attaching multiple pictures of him growing up so you can see the little man i don't have any that are immediately recent uploaded but i think you'll be able to get the idea. i just can't get over how much like his mom and dad he looks like! |

Hey Smith family just wanted to say hello and
let y'all know that Porsche completed and received BH
in obedience and temperament, we will move on and continue her training in the
hopes of a SCH I
and if possible II and III. She is a great dog and we are very proud of her. She
is from the Zee II-Tierney
litter 4/11/2009. The research I've done on her pedigree has inspired me to
continue with her training as there
are some good bloodlines in the lineage. Take care. Paul

I purchased a puppy about one month ago. I forgot the insanity that comes with a new puppy and got little sleep for about a week. I must tell you how wonderful she has turned out and the enormous joy that she brings to this household. She is so smart and just wants to please---and of course play. I am so happy that I have her. Thank you for such a perfect friend. Sincerely, Barbara
Hey there. Thought we'd give you an
update on a puppy we bought from
you. Dustee is now approaching 10 mos. old. He has grown quite large
as we have expected. Not sure how much more to expect in growth. He
has slowed down a bit now. But he is a beauty. He has a great
personality and extremely smart. We have really enjoyed his addition
to our family. Thought you'd like a recent picture to
enjoy. Hope all is well for you all. Happy 2010

I wanted to let you know that both Augie and
Brody are doing fantastic. Both of course are spoiled rotten. Brody
turned out to be a bird dog on his own right. One morning I awoke and felt a wet
mound of something suspicious in bed with me. This is never a good thing. I
turned on the light to find that Brody has brought me a sparrow though the
dog door, and had dropped in on top if the bed while I was sleeping. I picked up
the bird only to find out is was still very much alive. I took it outside. Put
it on the ground and sure enough it flew away after a few minutes. Never a
dull moment. J

Hi Sandra! A couple of months ago I purchased a female from Legacy’s litter and just thought I should send some pictures. I can’t believe how beautiful she is! She has really become a big part of our family and made herself right at home. Hopefully the pictures come through ok. This was an unusual moment in time where she was still enough for pictures, so enjoy. Thanks for everything and we’ll be in touch!
Hi Mark & Sandra, Wishing you both a happy Valentines day.!! The puppy we got from you, Champion (Champ) Royale Stauter has been grown from a little terror into a fantastic companion and playful pet. He is an extremely smart and beautiful creature…and seems to know it. Everyone in our subdivision knows him and where he lives. He is a very fast powerful dog who excels at energetic physical activities. He loves to play ball, pull on rope go for long walks and dance with Charlene. Best personal regards, Charles & Charlene Stauter

Hello All,
I am now 1 year old, and such a good boy. Â I am very smart, I can open
hotel room doors if Mommy does not lock the door, and I know how to
open the ice chest and get a piece of ice when I want one. Â (Now if I
can just get Daddy a beer, I just might be the perfect dog!! he he.)Â I
have a "deer" friend we call Bucky that I talk to when he comes to eat
corn. Â I am very good natured and sweet, and love company. I am such a
big boy, I am 27" tall at the shoulders, although I don't think I am
much more than a lap dog. Â Here are a few pictures of what a pretty boy
I am. Hope all is well with ya'll, and have a good year.
Amigo & "bucky" are "deer" friends

She is getting along OK with the other animals, and is bravely exploring the house and yard. It looks like she is going to be an exceptional pup! Thanks so much!
Hi about six months ago i received one of your German shepherd dogs from my neighbor that had to move and i just wanted to say what a beautiful dog she is. you guys did an amazing job. this is the smartest dog i have ever owned. she quickly became my best friend and I her's. well i don't want to waste all of your time i just wanted to let you know that i have one of your dogs and she is absolutely amazing. i have since moved from Texas to Vermont and she loves the snow she's got 3 acres to play on! well anyway thank you very much the only thing i regret is not being able to meet you and have her from a puppy, but i wouldn't trade her for the world. Just to let you know which one her name is Meisha sire: Ryker Dam: Mechia
****
In case you don't remember I emailed you a month or so
ago about recently receiving one of your German shepherds Meisha and you asked
for some pictures of me and her so i finally got some.
The pictures were taken at a local lake up here in Vermont! they are of Meisha
of course, my girlfriend of 5 years Kara, and Me Meisha had a great time there
was no one there so we were able to let her off her leash and let her run!
Meisha' s favorite thing to do is go on a car ride. and she knows the word and
gets so excited every time she hears it, we can no longer say it at our house,
so we had begun to spell it R-I-D-E but now she has picked up on that too! :)
like i said before she is extremely smart! i will try to attach a short video of
her getting excited about a ride! As you can see in the pictures she is very
happy, healthy, and well loved! We love having her she is such a blessing, so
thank you so much once again!
KARA and Mechia Zach and Mechia
{enjoying a day at a Vermont lake}
i hope to hear back from you soon, let me know what you think of the pictures!
thank you

Hi Mark, Sandra and Kory!
We purchased CeeGee {German Shepherd}, from you guys and I thought I would send you a new picture of our baby. I also was wondering about possibly getting another puppy from you guys. I think we are ready, actually I think CeeGee needs someone new to play with.
Ebony and Arnie are doing great!!! we had 9 BEAUTIFUL.........puppies!!!!!!
my last dog died, i now understand that breeding and bloodlines are important as is the reputation of the breeder so i am no longer leaving it to chance with inferior breeders. i am looking for a large male black and tan, for family protection, and a companion.
Just wanted to update you and let you know that so far Annie's doing great! she loves to be petted and if I stop she will head butt my arms until I'm petting again. I'm actually typing 1 handed now because of it. She has already warmed up so much from this morning! We have practiced on the leash and she's warmed up to that as well, but I think it's really just that she wants to right by my side...or between my legs. That's actually where she wants to walk! Makes me look kind of silly but that's ok. I will update you guys again in a few weeks to let you know how she's settling in. THANKS!
