I’m Brandon’s fiance Christine. I just wanted to thank you for selling us Nico (Olive). She is such a sweet baby! We absolutely love her! She is very cuddly but she is such a little brut! We are down a laptop cord and an Ipod cord…lol My daughter has found a new friend and just adores her! She took to our dogs very well and the one we have had issues with (Lucy) has actually been better since we got Nico! Lucy has not peed in the house at all since she has been here and Lucy has taken on almost a motherly position with the baby. Its really cute! Anyway, thanks again she has brought a lot of joy to my little one and us too. She’s a great dog 🙂

Good day,

I’m compiling pictures as we speak, but yes, Kilo and Arko certified USPCA region 16 and we qualified for nationals.  Kilo and Arko’s team took team 2nd place.  Kilo took first place novice and a 3rd place medal.  Arko tied for 2nd, apprehension with gun fire.  I will send you pictures of Kilo and Arko very soon.

Just a note to let you know that you were absolutely correct,

Bubba is an AWESOME dog.  Housebroken in the first two days, he already knows sit, shake, down, and come commands in less than a week……. for a 14 week old dog, this is amazing.  He is absolutely the most gentle puppy I have ever been around, without any shyness or hesitation on his part which might indicate some kind of less than desirable trait….he is just all around GREAT.

Also, he immediately bonded closely with my wife and kids, to the extent that during a football game over the weekend a young man shouted and jumped in my wife’s face (all in fun), and Bubba instantly came from across the room and placed himself barking and growling between the guy and my wife…..again, amazing at 14 weeks.  Also, as of today, both of his ears are up.

Just wanted to give you an update on our 7 month old Kaiser.  He is doing great with his training and wants to play all day long.  Everyday he does something new it is so fun to watch him figure things out.  He is so smart we really need to watch him.  He already figured out how to open the basement and front glass door. We are so pleased we are with our decision to purchase a pup from you.

When we spoke on the phone with you about him initially you kept saying how much drive he had and now we know what you were seeing in him.  We recently purchased a bite pillow from Leerburg and we were shocked at how Kaiser reacted to it.  As fast as we held up the pillow for the first time, he bit down and wouldn’t let go.  We were absolutely amazed!  It was like he just knew instinctively that was what he needed to do.  He has a unbelievably strong bite.  We had a hard time getting him to release the pillow.  We truly believe it is because of your line of dogs he is the way he is.

We couldn’t be happier with him and we just wanted to say thank you!  Here are a few pictures of him from 1-13-2012.

Just wanted to thank you. Rent is a different dog. She has not displayed the timid behavior at all since being home. We had company over last night and she was great even played tug-o-war in the living room. Lol. Funny thing is our boxer notices it too, and the two play much more. I have been taking her to different places to play ball. I ordered a horse whip, it should be here in a few days. I also am going to see Vicki on Thursday to start a basics class. Thanks again. I’ll keep you updated.

Just touching base, looks like we may be looking for 2 new dogs for a late fall k9 class to replace 2 retiring dogs.

Both dual purpose: 1 narc / 1 explosive. I am very happy so far with ARKO and YANKEE (KILO) . I have seen ASIA work, would be about right by class. What do you think about her work ? Or any other prospects you may have. I know it’s early but just trying to get early start !

This is the Zelinsky family, we wanted to update you and share a picture of Rylee (tenacity). Hard to believe she is a year old, she has the funniest personality and brought so much life to our home.

We had enrolled her in a training program (with other Malinois) and we are told she is the best dog in class. She even received her Canine Good Citizen Certificate. We are so pleased with how far she has come and very proud to have her.

Sincerely,

Things have been great with Hunter since his last visit with you.  He is really an amazing dog – way smarter than I could have ever imagined.  Took me a while to understand that he is different from all of the Labradors that I have enjoyed over the years but once you taught us how to act around him, things have been fun for us all.  Hunter swims in the creek near our house and finds the sticks we throw in the water.  Loves to hide and find balls and toys in the house and is a very high jumper when going for a ball in the yard.  We have just introduced agility jumping and he is a pro – it’s really cool to see how quickly he picks up new things.

This is Annie, I bought a female black German Shepherd from you in October. Israel is such a wonderful little puppy. She’ll be starting her Search and Rescue training here in a few weeks and if you are interested I’ll keep you updated on her progress in school.

She is a highly intelligent dog Jerry and very loving with a very high drive. She was potty trained in less then a day, plays fetch, understands basic commands such as sit, down, out, and is high energy. I call her my little energizer bunny! I walk her three miles a day and she still has energy to burn so we’ve upped are daily walks to 5 miles.

She is an Amazing dog Jerry, and I’m so happy with her that I’ve been thinking about buying another female from you in the near future. I saw Pinny your adult German Shepherd for Sale, I really like her colors, if you have any future litters with a similar color I would be overjoyed in making arrangements in buying another dog or puppy from you. I don’t know how much you are asking for Pinny, but if you have future litters with similar characteristics and body structure I’d be really interested.
