Diesel, Rosebud/Ugo Male |
Had to laugh when I saw how many other dogs had been named Diesel! Well, here is another Diesel to add to the list! Diesel Pusher Z was born November 21, 2008 from Ugo and Rosebud and we picked him up in Parker, CO the following January (2009). Diesel was a surprise birthday gift for me (I had lost my other German Shepherd several months before to cancer and swore "no more dogs"). Thankfully nobody listened to me. He is my bud, my protector, hiking partner, canoe pal, and best friend!

Pepin Ugo Girl, Ryleigh 5mo |
Hi!
This
is Ryleigh! She was yellow in her litter and her
b-day was Feb 4 (I think). She is now just a week away
from being 5 months. She is from Ugo and Pepin. She is
quite smart - but quite independent! We did puppy preschool
and she mostly just calmly sat and watched. She seemed
to think the other puppies were just too crazy for her
to bother with. Everyone was very envious of how
calm she was! Of course she isn't calm when she
attacks and plays with our 5 year old GSD! We call
her the 'demon'! We'll start basic obedience in
a couple of weeks - but she knows most of it already
(when she wants to listen!). She is very treat
motivated - which at least helps with the training. I'll
try to remember to send a picture of her when she is
older............

Heidi/Ugo male, Simcha 18mo old |
Hello Andrea, We have been intending to send you some pictures of Simcha for some time. He is now 18-months old and quite a guy. He has really lived up to his name...Simcha means happiness in Hebrew...and he is a happy dog plus a joy to us. High energy describes him well. He loves being on the ranch here in Colorado where he can run, play with sticks, and loves his tether ball. He has been trail riding with us and the horses, hiking, and loves the water. He certainly was a great choice...we could not have done better. His disposition is awesome and so loving. Thank-you for Simcha; he is my wife's best friend and protector when I must be away. Regards, Hood Family |

Pepin/Ugo male, Danno |
----------------------------------
9/20/2011
I was so proud of our pup today, I had to email you and tell you about him. He was 8 months old last friday. He is so big, it's hard to remember he's still jus a puppy. Last time I had him to the vet he was 7.5 months old and he weighed 77 pounds. We are wondering when he's gonna slow down on growing! haha! My son plays
football & my daughter cheers for our school
and tonight was our homecoming parade ~ they
both had to walk in it. I did not know
when I went that the parents for the little kids
(our daughter) had to walk in along with them
towards the sides of the road. I had Danno
with me ~ I take him to all the kids functions
to socialize him. So Danno walked the parade. He
did not cower or back down from anything ~ not
even the noises of the police & fire vehicles. I
was so proud of him. You should have seen
all the people commenting on him "OOOO look at
that dog, isn't he beautiful" "Ahhhh, check that
dog out ~ he's huge!" Over & over I would
hear people with positive comments about him. I
honestly felt like i was a k-9 handler again
~ he heals so well and sits immediately when
i stop. This is not something i have taught
him, he has always done it automatically. He
is so awsome. I wish i could get a few
good pics of him ~ his head is real big & blocky
( i love it!) He loves his mommy ~ i take
him on walks everyday 1-2 miles. I am able
to let him off lead when we get to our local
elementary and he runs along side of my kids
on their bikes & blows off some steam. He
HAS to go on a walk daily or he is an unstoppable
ball of energy! haha! I've been watching
the new pups from pepin/ugo, the little male
pup in the middle looks just like danno did when
he was that age. I kept all the pics you
posted. I should put them all together
sequentially so they can see what he will potentially
look like! he will be beautiful,
that's for sure.
Well, have a good night!

Heidi/Ugo male, Axel 8weeks and 5mo old |
Getting comfortable here now. He is everything we wanted. My children ALL love him, however, my 3 year old is "his person". What really got me was how (I have a retractable leash & harness, so the give on both ends, under supervision make a beautiful opportunity for a young child to handle his dog without the dog being punished because of a childs mistake) Tyler walked him everytime we stopped on the way home. This pup followed him, ran with him, and everytime he stopped, sat directly in front of him like "OK, you ready to do it again?" An 8 week old pup. A 3 year old child. No pulling, gentle with my child, confident as they "played" in completely unkown places. 1st day away from his siblings, total confidence, Anyone who thinks a purebred dog is too expensive, no. It is priceless. Talk about exceptional bloodlines showing through, and why it is worth every penny to buy a dog with such a huge headstart in life. Yes, a pup is ALOT of work to raise right, but when you have the history of what disposition he is born with, you have a HUGE advantage. I am so impressed with this pup, bought technically "sight unseen" except for pictures, I would recommend you to anyone considering a purchase. I cannot thank you enough, keep up the good work, I will be back if I ever wish to purchase another German Shepherd, or will recommend you to anyone who does. German Shepherds are the ultimate family dog as long as you raise them as you should, and buy from a reputable breeder. I just had to shoot you a second email. I am so impressed with this guy. PERFECT PUPPY FOR US. HANDS DOWN. Sincerely, Janet I just can't believe how gorgeous
this pup is. We took to NM this
weekend, and another truck driver said, just after watching him for 5
minutes "I hate to ask how much you paid for that dog, you can tell by
his disposition he is extremely well bred...". (his looks may have had
a little to do with it too, LOL!) His conformation and gait is just
beautiful in such a young pup. So confident, and nerves...LOL...he's
fearless :) He's around semis every day...loud noises, horns, air
release noise. (and my husband breaking an air line in the cab while
goofing off...sounded like a rabid snake...LOL!) Axel just looks at
us, like, is this OK? Then layed down and took a nap, while the hose
continued to hiss...most dogs would have been freaking out :) Best dog
ever, woof!

Jerry Lee out Pepin and Ugo |
Hi
Andrea: This is Jerry Lee. He was born March 5, 2009 from Pepin/Ugo litter. He's 5 months old now. We absolutely love him and he makes us laugh all the time! He's very smart and has almost completed puppy kindergarten. This was his first excursion on our boat. He loves the water but wasn't sure about actually swimming yet. He still has a look of the long hairs and has crimpy hair around his ears and is a gorgeous black/red color. His body build reminds of Hesta actually. He weighs about 46 pounds now. He's a pretty picky eater so were experimenting on a different puppy food to try and put a little weight on him. Everywhere we go we are getting compliments on him. I would love to get a few pictures of a few mature long hairs that you have bred, especially if you have any out of Pepin/Ugo mating. Anyway, thanks again! I love watching for updates on your website. Its exciting to see all the new puppies being born! Terri Colorado Springs |

Makeidu, Rosebud Ugo male |
Hi Andrea, Makeidu just turned two so I thought I'd send you a few new photos of him. He's a wonderful dog- very energetic, very smart, and always wanting to please. We are very happy with him. Thanks again! |

Ritter 18mo Rosebud/Ugo male |
HI ANDREA!
I was thinking about you and your marvelous dogs earlier
and thought I haven't written to you about Ritter
in a while! Thought I'd give you a little update
on how he's doing.
My little Ritter Roo isn't so little anymore!!
My kids have nicknamed him Horse because he is so
tall now. He's 18 months now and still acts very
much like a pup. He's about 85 pounds according to
the vet today and healthy as an ox! His favorite
activities involve wrestling with my husband, herding
my kids around, and play play playing as much as
he can. He's a happy dog and always has a "smile" on
his handsome face.
I love how loyal and obedient he is. He obeys
usually after the first command, although once in
a while he can be a little stubborn. He's a great
dog and we love him so much. A few months ago while
my husband was deployed, he was asleep in my room.
I heard him start growling and so I followed him
down the stairs. Someone was
trying to break into the back door of our house.
He started barking and hollaring scaring the person
from our house. Thank God for Rit that night, because
who knows what could have happened without him. He protects our family
just like I always hoped. Because of Ritter, we feel
safer at night while my husband is TDY or Deployed.
I can't thank you enough for him. Everyone asks
where we got him and I always tell them about you
and your wonderful dogs! Still trying to talk the
husband into getting another one! Who knows...One
day he might budge!! :) Thanks again Andrea for our
wonderful dog.

Here is a couple pictures of our BEAUTIFUL BOY! He is so wonderful. He is very well behaved and has the best personality. He is going to start day care in a couple of weeks and everyone just falls instantly in love with him. Shawn says he is a chick magnet. We love him so much he is our baby.. Thank you, Sheila |

Heidi/Ugo longcoat male |
hi andrea. i am attaching two pics of river (ugo/heidi - 3/10). the pics aren't great, but they can give you an idea of his coat, color, and growth. he seems large for his age - he's very close to heidi's size. his head and his movements are definitely hers. his size is ugo's. his coat is somewhere between the two. he is quite a character. he has a dominate personality but is really very, very sweet. he is also very funny. i wonder if you still have his brother hugo. i bet he is a beauty, and i would love to see a pic anytime you snap one. hope all is well in nebraska. dina (in wyoming) | ||

Hello Andrea,
I hope all is well with you and your gang. We are doing
ok, but is way too hot! Have to keep the sprinkler and
kiddie pools fresh for the dogs. Thank you for the
article. I will keep it and is very good information to
know about. Here are a few pictures of Layla taken today
now that she is a year old. She is lovely and we think
the world of her. Herman and she have really bonded. She
is so intelligent! She is the "problem solver" of
our gang. If she dosen't like something one way - she is
always somehow able to have it "her way" every
time!
I don't know if she gets that from Ugo or Judy.
She was rearing up today like a bucking horse playing with
a toy. You should have seen it. No one else wanted to play
with her -- so she just kept doing it. I wish I had
a video of her. I hadn't ever seen anything like that before.
She is a very nice female and has nice bone and conformation
too. Thanks for everything, Tammie |

Andrea This lithograph is Samantha Von Sehr Gut Wesen. She is a Flora/Ugo bitch. Last year, I was approached by an animal photographer who fell in love with Sam. As a result, Sam was the German Shepherd model for the Crane Company. Here is the link. Isn't she gorgeous! I've already bought 10 boxes! http://www.crane.com/What%27s%20New//GermanShepardDogNotes?PID=CF1154&pcat=WhatsNew

Lacey, puppy |
...............everyone is in love with my Lacey ... she is so sweet and is really a good puppy! Just wanted to say "Thank You" Lacey
came to us before Thanksgiving and
has been "potty trained" from day 1 - she is good and
letting you know she has to go! Lacey is getting
along with my 2.5 year old "Harley" also another longcoat
German Shepard and they are best of friends for now and
I hope that it stays this way.
We start puppy school after
the 1st of the year but she knows: let it, no,
no bite, sit and paw - she hasn't chewed anything yet
but Harley has been a good teacher at that - she will
stop her when she grabs a sneaker or something.
I have some great pictures on
my phone but I'll send you one from the computer - we
went to the vet today for a follow-up and she is 33.4
lbs!
Have a Happy Holiday! |

Heidi / Ugo Male |
Hello Andrea,
Jaxx, is doing great (Ranger "Jaxx"). We have had him in training at the prison we both work at. He is quite a hit with everyone and visits John and I and our Warden daily. We bring him home as often as we can and have had his booster shots up to date. We had a complete physical on him the first time we took him in to our vet, they were very impressed with him and said that he was in good health and his joints were good. They were happy to see that the brand of shots that your vet uses is a high quality brand and is what they use as well. He is getting very big and his ears are starting to stand up. Our vet said that when the time comes he will be completing the hip physical and digital reading. Thought you would like to see a picture of Jaxx now, so we have attached two photos for you.

8/2/09 Good morning Andrea I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Tanek (Pepin/Ugo) at 5 months old. He is so much fun and is learning every day. He is a favorite in the neighborhood and our trainer is more than impressed with his temperment, looks, health, and how smart Tanek is turning out to be. He is growing fast and it is already hard to remember him as a 17lb. 8 week old puppy! He is a sweet, sweet boy and is just now starting to come into his own. Thank you so much for our little boy. I will send you more pics as he gets older. If you ever need to use me as a reference please feel free. Updated Letter Below: I just wanted to send you a few photo's of Tanek (Pepin/Ugo 3/5/09) at 8 months and 9 months old. He is a joy to have around and is so smart and loving. He loves to give kisses and play with all of the neighborhood dogs. We hope to start some protection training when he is a year old. He can be a little headstrong but is easily trainable. He really looks like the best of both of his parents. His agility and athleticism is amazing as is his scent tracking for his age. I could go on and on but you know what kind of puppies your dogs put out! I actually have people who stop in their cars to ask about him because he has such a presence! Thank you again for our Tanek - we are truly enjoying our newest member of the family! Monica |

Pepin Ugo Female; Jazz |
Just keeping in touch and letting
you know that Jazz is doing great! Very smart, loyal and
protective. I truly believe she would make an unbelievable
police dog as she has a keen sense of smell, when we hide
anything, anywhere she can find it. However, we aren't
giving her up, the police will just have to find their
own dogs! lol! As you can see she is very beautiful
and a little bit spoiled. She has always loved
water but absolutely loves the snow even more. The first
time she saw it this year she put her nose down on the
ground and went through it like a snow plow.
Jazz brings a lot of meaning in to our lives thank you! Laura |

Above, Reagan, male from Judy/Ugo.
|
Andrea, Sorry I missed your
call. I appreciate you taking the time to check up
on them. The dogs are doing great. Both are very
active and very freindly. They are great around other
dogs and people. Maggie will chase anything, anytime. She will fetch for hours. She also must be in the middle of whatever is going on. At 11 months she weighs in at 66 pounds. Reagan will chase Maggie all day long. He has no interest at all in fetching, just trying to take things from her. He is tall enough to see whatever may be sitting on the counter and has no problems taking it. We are working on that little issue. He is extremely freindly and gentle. At 10 months he weighs in at 75 pounds. He is a monster. I absolutely could not be happier with these dogs. We take them camping and they do great. Very curious but and will wander a bit but come when called. They follow the kids (10 & 15) everywhere. We camp in bear contry so it is nice to know the kids are constantly being watched when they are out hiking. We also camp with a large group and the dogs do great with all the people, other dogs, etc. We do quite a bit of shooting and neither dog is gun shy at all (my last shepherd freaked out at load noises - went through a window to get away from fireworks one year). I have attached a few pictures from one of our camping trips. I will try to get more pictures of this past year sent to you. Thanks again for everything, Scott |

Female from Judy/Ugo named Star. |
Hi Andrea, Wow where has the
time gone. I really had good intentions on getting you
some pictures earlier then this but what a summer. First
of all I have to tell you what a Star our Star is. She
is so loving and playful and smart. She is now 10 1/2
months old and weighing in at 70 lbs. She is super
smart, and a fast learner. I have trained her myself
and she has done well, she does all of her commands in
English, German,and hand signals. We are going to start
teaching her to track and see if she likes that. Tyler
just loves her and she loves him. She does everything
for him as well as me. Our Vet. here just loves her too.
They can't believe how big she's getting,and they always
check her for me when she has to spend the night there
when we have to go somewhere overnight and she can't
go and they say she couldn't be healthier and that I
got a great dog. They were also very impressed when I
first took her in when I got her in Nov. 2008 when they
seen all that you had already done. She was born out
of Judy/ Ugo on Oct. 2.2008. The
only regret I have is that I didn't buy her brother that
looked like Ugo. They would have made a great pair. Thank you again for
being a great breeder and hopefully we will be getting
her a little
brother from you soon. Tinker

Judy/Ugo blk female Dec 08 |
In December we bought an all black
female from Ugo/Judy and could not be more pleased with
her. I am inquiring about being placed on the wait list
for a male black and tan from Ugo and Judy. She is sixty
pounds @ 9 months and is one of the smartest dogs I have ever seen. Here is a fun one from
when she found our throw pillows in our closet. Freeman |

Judy/Ugo Female Dec 08 Izzy |
Hi Andrea, We purchased Izzy, our black shepherd, from you in December of last year (The picture is from when we first brought her home). She was the black shepherd you had that had the kink in her tail. Well, I’m pleased to tell you that she is the best dog we have EVER had. She is such a lover and it is obvious that you gave her lots of love before she came to live with us. She is so wonderful with our children and other animals. We own a hardware store and people will ask where she is when she is not in the store. She just seems to make such an impact on everyone that she comes into contact with. I will do my best to refer you to as many people as I can….I truly believe you raise the most wonderful dogs. When the day comes that we decide to get another shepherd, there is no doubt we will give you a call!! Thank you so much for breeding such wonderful dogs!! Regards, Messa |

December 2008 Here is a photo sent via CD of Sarge a black male out of Judy/Ugo. He was sold with a heart murmur and guarantee to outgrow it or money back. He was neutered at 7 months of age and Martin's vet confirmed he had 100% outgrew his heart murmur, which is quite common. T. Martin |

HELLO ANDREA
HERE'S HOPING YOU MAY ADD CLYDE ( ROSEBUD & UGO PUP: BORN 5-29-09 ) TO YOUR WALL OF FAME PICS! LOL.
HE IS KEEPING US BUSY, THAT'S FOR SURE. WENT TO
THE VET TODAY AND THEY SAID HE HAS VERY GOOD BEHAVIOR.
DADDY HAS TAUGHT CLYDE TO COME-SIT USING HAND SIGNAL COMMANDS. HE'S DEFINATELY INTELLIGENT
AND BRAVE TOO.
HE WAS GOING UP AND DOWN STEPS AND STAIRS THE 2ND DAY
WE HAD HIM. HE WILL GO TO FRONT DOOR AND WHINE WHEN
HE NEEDS TO GO POTTY. WHEN GOING FOR WALKS WE GET ALOT
OF COMPLIMENTS! HE
AND OUR FAT CAT ARE JUST ABOUT EVEN WEIGHT WISE AND
THEY PLAY ALL THE TIME. THANK YOU FOR OUR WONDERFUL ADDITION
TO OUR FAMILY. MORE PICS TO COME SOON.
ANG, CURT & CLYDE ---------------------- Clydes as honory as it gets!! We enjoy him. He and Bear (my heifer of a dog) play constantly!! He's a smart lil fart too! He knows hand commands. Instead of calling him we can snap our fingers, put hand up to make him stop and then point down with finger to mean sit. Basically if we spoke it instead of Signing...we would say: Clyde COME STOP SIT! He also knows lay down (verbally that is ) high five and shake! He's also being more vocal, he barks when someone comes to the gate. I have noticed he's a jealous boy! Lol. God forbid i give another dog any atteneion. When its just he and i here at home alone he's usually only a few steps behind me. He follows me every where. Sometimes it get annoying even. Lol. He doesn't get along with our vaccuum cleaner...he likes to bark like crazy at it, even when its just setting out. Its pretty funny. I'd love to know what he's saying to it!! Ha Ha. Friday was his first snow day, he loved it. Was rolling around in it. |

Rosebud/Ugo female Kamalie |
Andrea, Just
checking in. Kamalie is doing wonderfully. Full
of energy. She is still a picky eater, but over all
doing better. She is incredibly smart. She
already sits on command, fetches, comes to her name, and
walks well on lead! She is more than I could ever
expect. I may be sending you some business, as every
one who sees her asks where I got her! She is the
hit of the neighborhood. Thank you again.

(Rosebud Ugo Male, Ritter) |
Hello Andrea!
Ritter is almost 5 months old now and it's like he has always been a member of our family. I simply cannot imagine life without him around. Ritter is competely house broken! No accidents in our house in 2 months! He is kennel trained and knows the commands sit, stay, here, shake, high five, down, back-up, speak, say please, and time for bed in hand signals, English and we are currently working on German. He is so very smart...except where our cats are concerned. He so badly wants to play with them but my little girl Emma Jane wants nothing to do with him unless he is in his kennel for her to tease. He is great with my kids too! He finally found his "manly bark" and actually startled me the other day when he used it for the first time. Our Ritter is finally growing up. At nearly 5 months old, he weighs in at 45 pounds! Vet says he is healthy and happy and very well behaved. (Now if only we can get that one ear to stand up the rest of the way!) His toy drive is absolutely amazing. I just went out and bought him a bunch of new toys yesterday because he goes through them so quickly! You should have seen him during our first snow a few weeks ago. He didn't know what to make of it at first, but once he felt OK enough, he ran around with his nose in it until he looked up at me with a big ole' pile of it on the end of his muzzle! It was great! We still do playdates with the Messers and Ritter's brother Hawkeye! They get along great! My husband gets home from the desert sometime next week and will meet Ritter for the first time! It should be interesting! Thanks again for such a terrific dog! We love our Ritter! He was definitely worth the money and the 4 hour drive ---------------------------- Hi Andrea! I took some really cute pictures of Ritter
and my kids I thought you might enjoy! Rit will be
7 months old next week and he is healthy, happy and
a wonderful dog! His training is going super well and
we are enjoying him! My husband came back from the
desert a little less than a month ago and fell in love with
Ritter as soon as he met him. They wrestle and
play together every night before John goes to work!
It's so fun to watch. Anyway, I'm attaching
some pictures of Ritter and my girls. Enjoy! Nicole Donnellon & Family

Flora/Ugo male |
Bronson is 2 months into his Obedience training and the instructor thinks he is one of the smartest dogs he has ever trained. He was even trying to Bartyr the cost of the training for a puppy in the future. I advised him I was not a breeder and gave him your information. He is sooooo STRONG and GOOD LOOKING. I cannot begin to thank you enough! ------------------------------------------------ Well, well can you believe the ears finally went up. What a great addition to our family. I cannot begin to thank you enough for selling us such a bundle of joy and love. Bronson will be turning 6 months in mid September and his papa (Ugo) and mama (Flora) would be so proud. Everywhere I go I get a ton of compliments on such a great looking dog. He is so loving with all the kids in the neighborhood and wants to please the world. Again, thank you so much for breeding such a fine animal. ---------------------------------- Andrea, you would not believe how gorgeous Bronson has become. He is now 6 months young and ready for training classes. He has advanced so much on his own. He can sit, lay down, come, here, leave it alone and many others. I never even had to potty train him. He did that all on his own. I will be sending you the pictures I have from 2 months up to today. Again, we cannot thank you enough for the gorgeous breed of Shepherd that you produce. I get compliments everywhere we go! Thanks a million!! Sincerely, BJ |

Storm, from Pepin/ Ugo male |
Hello Andrea! We purchased a male pup from your Pepin/Ugo liter back in April. His name is Storme and he is the most wonderful dog. At 5 mo old he has completed puppy kindergarten (star of the class, of course!!) and is beginning basic obedience class. Andrea, this is the BEST dog we have ever owned!! He is intelligent, gentle, full of love and playfulness. He loves to play tug of war and fetch. He knows when to play gentle with our young children, and when he can be a bit more rough with our teen-aged son. When its time to calm down he also loves to sit at my feet and chew on his toys..and occasionally thinks he is a "lap dog" He obeys us without reservation! We couldn't be happier with our dog. We are actually already "thinking" of another purchase from you since Storme is so wonderful |
||
Hi Andrea,
Just another update with Storme. We got
him in April from Pepin/Ugo. He now weighs 87lbs
and is still a big affectionate baby, although I think
some of the teenage defiant behavior is coming through...lol. Wanted
to show you the latest pics.....he really is a wonderful
dog....GORGEOUS is the comment we get most of all. |

Ranger, Pepin Ugo male |
Hi Andrea! I just took him to the vet today and all the employees complimented
on how good-looking he is!! Also he is almost 6 months and
weighs 60 lbs!!! You sure do breed beautiful dogs!!! |

I just wanted to update you on Yeva. She was out of Ugo x Flora and is seven months old now. She is the "friends and family favorite" out of all of our 6 dams. We have a red sable, three black and tans, a black and red, and of course our solid black Yeva! Our Sheriff has a georgous red sable male that he wants to breed to Yeva. He came over the other day to look at all of our dams and decided Yeva was the one he is interested in when she is ready and old enough of course. She is so intelligent and beautiful! She will do anything to please us. She loves to play fetch - and will do it as long as I will hold out! She is extremely powerful. As I told you earlier, we are going to train her Schutzhund. She listens, looks at me, sets, goes down and heels already. She loves to go for walks and learn new tricks. I just wanted you to know that she is a wonderful dam. We love her and so does anyone who comes to look at our dams. She's the favorite of all who have seen her so far, including us! Thanks again, Tammi |

Andrea, I
just wanted to write to thank you for such an amazing puppy! I
don't know what you did before we got him but I swear he
came to us housebroken. For the first couple of days
he was really shy but is now extremely comfortable around
us and loves to play! He would spend all day outside
in the cold grass if we would let him. He is so gentle
with people, and loves little kids! So far he hasn't
jumped on anyone or tried to get on any of the furniture. He
is a really good biter, we'll work on that though! He
is learning to sit, and is slowly starting to recognize
his name. Everyone that sees him comments on what
an adorable puppy he is and how well behaved he is. He
is starting to walk on a leash, everyday he seems to enjoy
it more and more. We took him to the vet on Monday
just to check him over. He was really good with the
vet and all of the techs, didn't try to bite or nip at
them at all.
They
checked his heart and everything is fine. The vet
couldn't hear any murmur. He said he was absolutely
perfect! He gained 3 pounds last week, everyone
comments on how big he is going to be.
He gets a little nervous around bigger dogs, little does
he know he'll outweight them in just a couple of months. He
was already 15lbs on Monday! Dave and I are so happy
with him and couldn't imagine our lives without him. The
first night he did cry a lot, then the next night we moved
his kennel by a window and he slept the whole night. He
has been doing the same this since, everyone is so amazed
that he's already sleeping through the night. Once
again, thank you so much for the wonderful puppy!
Ashley and Dave ------------------------------------------------ Just an update Vito has been AMAZING. Now that he’s 1 year 9 months old he is getting extremely mature. He’s grown into such a beautiful and statuesque dog, every time we take him out we get comments on how beautiful he is. He’s still a skinny guy (75 lbs) but is in extremely good health. We had that bout of Pano but once he turned a year old it never happened again – thank god! His feet are still a little turned out (as you can see in the pictures) but it doesn’t seem to affect him, he’s actually starting to become quite the jogging partner. Vito was around his first baby the other day (a 3 week old) and it was amazing to see his natural nurturing instinct with her. I was afraid he would smother her in kisses (like he does to Dave and I) but he was so gentle he was like a seasoned pro. Anytime the baby would cry he was right by her side like her big guard dog – it was so cute! Other than my husband Vito is absolutely just the love of my life and I can’t imagine a day without him, we are so blessed to have him in our lives. Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs, their temperament is truly the best (My vet actually said Vito had the best temperament of any shepherd she’s ever seen – that’s saying a lot!) Merry Christmas! |

Hi Andrea, Just a quick note while Axel's
sleeping to drop you a line and let you know how good
everything is going.
This little guy has quite
the personality that says look at me "I'm GREAT". He
is also a big jumper and pouncer. He plays fetch
with a rubber ducky and a tennis ball. He is sleeping
through the night with no whining, he only whined Saturday
night. He still whimpers sometimes but usually
that's when he is tired. We've only had two pee
accidents and I blame that on myself for not anticipating
it.
..................................
He is doing so well and growing
too. He now has his ears at the conehead stage
and looks pretty silly. He is almost sleeping completely
through the night and starting to take himself outside
to pee if I leave the door open and I am around to supervise
him. Overall evrythings great.
.................................... Now that he has had all of his puppy shots he is soooo enjoying going on walks and exploring his new world. This morning we discovered a duck in the field by our house and he couldn't understand why it kept making that wierd sound. Silly little guy Sue |

We received our female German Shepherd puppy, Morgan, from Andrea in December 2007. Morgan has been a delight. She has a great personality--wants to please, very happy, and loves our six-year-old German Shepherd, Roz. She's as smart as a whip. Potty training was a snap. She knew her name, "settle," "come" and "fetch" right away. She is a sturdy girl and we anticipate she will weigh about 85+ pounds. After looking at Andrea's web site, it was clear that she really cared about *responsibly* breeding German Shepherds. Upon adoption, she provided a CD with tons of useful information about training, feeding, and shots; and information specific to German Shepherds. Her prices were very reasonable. Here it is, February, and Andrea still keeps in touch. We are really happy with Morgan. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a healthy, carefully-bred German Shepherd puppy from a reputable breeder. ------------------- 7/192009 Andrea, do you remember me? We're the owners of
Morgan, from Flora and Ugo's first litter (one boy, one
girl). There are so many days that we talk about
what a wonderful breeder you are, that I thought I'd take
a moment tonight to write this note. ;-) |

Hi Andrea: Thought you ;might like to see how much Alecia has grown...she moves so fast I couldn't get one of her running or standng up, but did make her lay down... as you can see she didn't like that at all laying there, then looking up with those big beautiful eyes etc. she's sure a great pup and beautiful pup.

Hi, I have not sent any pictures of Rhudy in a while and I was on the website looking at some pictures of Flora and Bronson’s puppies. Figured I would send you this latest one. As we talked on the phone before, he is a great dog with a lot of energy. He is still a little skinny but in my opinion for his health, that is better than heavy. Loves his toys and us. I hope as he gets a little older and he matures that he will calm down a little but other than lots of energy that needs to be exercised off, he is a great family friend. Oh, the poodle is his favorite play toy. Best regards, Don |

Hi Andrea, Just a note to let you know that we are enjoying Leonidas (LEON) the male puppy you sold us. He is beautiful; an excellent temperment. He's 5 months old and weighs 50#!! We have our white vinyl (with mesh) fence on our 2 acres and he loves running around there. A new dog park opened up 5 minutes from us so he is getting socialized with other dogs and people. Everyday he can't wait until he can get his romp at that dog park. Thank you so much, Andrea. He's an awesome dog and worth every penny....... Thanks again. Marlys, Scott & Daniel |
Hi Andrea! Shortly after we got our puppy from you in mid-March 2007, I promised you I would send you some pictures...well, here they finally are. WE named her Shelby and we just love her...Thank you SO much!! Hopefully you can add her to your wall of fame. She has a wonderful temperment and she is very smart.
Thank you again! Patti
Hi Andrea - Just a few new pictures of Shelby and our little "family". She's grwoing into quite the beautiful girl. I can't believe our fuzzy little puppy is already so big and will be 9 mo. old tomorrow!!

Dear Andrea:
Glad to hear from you, we thought of you when OTTO turned one year old on April 23, He is a beautiful, sweet boy and very champagne colored. He graduated from intermediate training class and had to learn some socialization. He is very content here on the mountain.

Hi, this is Drew! Well, his name is Diesel. We’ve been having the greatest
first day! And I
swear he’s
already house broken. He’s
been letting me know when he needs to go out. He
woke me up twice last night to go out to use the bathroom! I
was astonished. We’ve
been having lots of fun. You
weren’t kidding! HE
sure can eat! lol And he was actually
bringing a ball back to me yesterday while we were playing! And
when I talk to him, he cocks his head listening…it’s so cute!
Thanks again! He’s so wonderful!

Hi, my name is Deb. I just received Drew's note and was shocked....we also named our male puppy Diesel. So is this just the gas litter? Diesel also has a friend her name is Sadie. And she is glad to have a friend. In the picture of the pups outside Diesel is on the left...this was the first meeting of the two. And after playing outside they had to come in and take a nap. I look forward to future pictures from everyone. Bye for now,
Deb

Hi Andrea & Ruth,
My new family the ******** named me Madeline. Everyone loves
me here and I am chewing everything I can already. Petey their other
dog doesn't like me much, he's used to having all the attention to himself. He'll
come around though. The ******** can't send pictures with their computer
yet but when they can they will get my pretty little face sent to you.
Everyone wants to thank you again for giving me to this family. I think
I'll love it here.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the entire family!
Madeline & The ******* Family

Just wanted to drop a note to let everyone know how our Max is doing. He is incredibly good looking and weighed 78 pounds at the vet last week. I was surpirsed when I heard one of the other pups was 90 pounds. Max is very lean and will definately fill out more but is no where near 90 pounds yet! We work with Max frequently and he loves to please. I was looking at a picture of Max's dad (Bear) today and was shocked because I think Max looks exactly like him. Max is very good with kids, both our own, and my nephews and nieces and he is incredibly confident. When he sees something he is not sure of like the scarecrow in someone's yard for Halloween he will check it out, run back, check it out again all with great confidence and fun, tail wagging all the time. Max is also great with dogs and puppies he frequently plays with our neighbors lab.

Andrea,
Kris is a friend of mine who got a pup from you last year and I am in the market for a German shepherd now. We had a purebred German shepherd for 9 years who was taken from us by cancer a little over a year ago and we are ready to bring another one into our lives now and are starting to look around for a breeder. We want to get a dog that has suitable bloodlines and temperament for protection training and definitely need to get a dog that will be able to be trained to be disciplined and not harm our kids or their friends. Kris recommended you and I would be interested to know if you have any litters that are going to be available anytime soon. We have 3 kids (ages 2 to 7) and so of course Christmas would be fantastic timing but we are willing to adjust our plans for the right dog. Thanks a lot. Sean Wood Evergreen, CO
Andrea, I am interested. Talked to Kris today and he told me about your policies - am I the first to express interest? I will send you the deposit when you pass on your address. Regarding timing, 2 weeks before xmas is fine - I am more concerned about the right timing for the dog and your logistics rather than xmas theatrics ;-)
Regards,
Sean

Oh, I’m loving
my Diesel too! He’s gorgeous and VERY big. He’s
just over 90lbs and looks like he has another 30 to gain! He hasn’t
started to fill out yet. Still tall, skinny, and a bit gangly…lol. He’s
SOOOO smart. We work pretty much every day. He loves it. We
play quite a bit of fetch to break up lessons. He has a ball addiction
for sure! I can’t ever get him to give me a break. If
I ignore him placing a ball in my lap, he’ll go find another one
(he has like 4 laying around at any given time) as if I didn’t
like the last one…LOL. I love it though. He’s
a great friend. We go everywhere together. I need to take
some more recent pics. I’m about two months behind on pics.

Dear Andrea,
Thank you for calling me regarding the AKC papers.....Madeline is doing fantastic, sorry I don't have any pictures for you. She is quite beautiful and quite the princess in the household. Her and Petey have become fast friends.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Laura

Andrea,
I just wanted to say
thank you again for such a wonderful friend! Diesel
(the big one with dark markings) is great! He picks things
up so fast and goes almost everywhere with me. As
you can see, he still hasn’t quite grown into those ears…lol! He’s completely house broken, knows
all his commands verbally and with signals, so we might try working
on some fun tricks next :D. He
has a cow bell on the door handle that he rings to let me know that he
needs out too! We’ve been having so much fun. Thank you!
Drew

The two puppies are doing very well. Both weigh about 90 lbs now. Tornado (the male) is very gentle, easy going, and likes to be hugged and cuddled. He also torments/tease his sister to no end with food and bones. Hurricane (the female) likes to think she is in charge, still the instigator, very protective, likes to play with tennis balls, stuffed toys and bones. I thought having two puppies at the same time would be difficult, but it has been very easy. When we take them for walks they are never far from our sides. They may go ahead of us but they always turn to see if we are okay behind. My husband and I (even my co-workers) have enjoyed watching them grow into beautiful dogs. Thank You for all your help
Della
