Judy/Ugo, Layla, black female	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
Flora Ugo Female, Samantha	Andrea Samantha's going to be 2 years old this August 30th, can you belive it?? She is a great friend, athletic and sharp as a tack. If anyone has questions about your breeding especially with Flora (now retired I understand) and Ugo, tell them to e-mail me!!!!!!!!!! Margaret
Rosebud/Ugo female, Torri OFA Excellent hips	Just wanted to send you some updated photos of Torri. She has gotten big. Love her so much, she has been an excellent dog for us. (Rosebud and Ugo female puppy) Fernandez
Lacey, puppy Pepin / Ugo Longcoat Female	...............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. The Palomino Family
Pepin/Ugo male	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
Bridget/Bronson Female Sold at 3 1/2 years of age Bretta is 1/2 sister to Heidi and Rosebud	Andrea, Just wanted to ask you a question. Has Bretta ever had any training? If so what kind? I took her in to have her tested yesterday for protected training and she pasted with flying colores, and the trainner had asked if she has had any training because she beleives she (Bretta) knows more then we know. Thank you, Jackie PS. Bretta is doing fine and we couldn't have asked for a better dog. RE: No extra training done other than sit, down, and house training.
Flora/Ugo Mieke female, 7mo old	Andrea, Here are some pics of Mieke at 7 months old. She is an amazing dog! She listens to my every word. Her play drive is nothing like I have ever seen before in a german shepherd. I have never owned a dog where I can walk outside with her without a leash and know that shes not gonna run off. I don't even have to have a leash on her when we take her for walks! Even with all the other dogs barking she never gets more then 10 feet in front of me. Also as you can see from the pics she is turning out to be a beautiful dog! She is only 7 months old in the pics and is about 40 to 45lbs. Everywhere we take her alls we hear is how pretty and well behaved she is. Her protective side is also starting to show which makes my wife happy since I travel from time to time. Any little noise that she hears at night she always jumps up and goes to see what it is and if its something loud enough she barks at us until we get up and go with her to check it out. Again I cant thank you enough for her and we maybe looking to you to get her a playmate sometime soon. --------------------------------------- Andrea, I'm sorry that it has been so long since we sent you some pics of Mieke, but here are some at almost 11 months old. She is such a beautiful dog. As you can see from the pics I attached she loves to play in the snow! Which is a good thing because we have gotten a lot of it this winter already. She is amazing with my nephews who are 5, 4, and 6 months old. She knows that when she plays with the 5 and 4 year old that she has to be gentle with them. With the 6 month old she is just very curious and she barks at someone if no one is the room when he starts crying. She has come along way in her training. She still listens to everything we tell her and has gotten a lot better with her staying commands. She use to just stop for like 10 seconds and get up again. Now she wont move until I tell her too. Thank-you so much for the amazing dog. SGT Rasmussen
Above, Reagan, male from Judy/Ugo. Below, Maggie, female from Flora/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. Thanks again 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
Judy/Ugo Male	December 2008 Greeting from Colorado Springs! We have attached some pictures of Max, he is healthy and beautiful as ever! We are taking great care of him and he is a loved member of our family. Sincerely, The Singletons
Judy/Ugo black male	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
Rosebud/Ugo, Clyde above and below	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.
Pepin/Ugo longcoat male Jerry Lee Jerry Lee getting big	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 ---------------------------- I have Jerry Lee, the 5 month male from Pepin/Ugo litter. My husband is a firefighter and works 24 hour shifts. Well Thursday my husband was working his shift so Jerry Lee and I were home by ourselves and around 10:30 pm. I hear a car outside running but did not think anything of it, well Jerry Lee goes out to our back patio and starts barking, he's very upset and will not quiet down so I go out to make him come in so he wouldn't wake our neighbors and he still won't settle down, I reached down to grab his collar and looked up and there was a man walking across my front lawn and at first I thought it was my neighbor not really thinking about the time and the car running, and turned around to go back into the house and heard this loud bam! Well this guy (not my neighbor) kicked my front door in! The whole time Jerry Lee is barking his little head off! The guy never did come into my house but it scared me to death! I don't know if the guy didn't think we were home or what his intentions were but my little GSD puppy (5 months old!) was protecting me in the only way he knew how and that was by warning them with his barking! Now I don't know that at 5 months old he would have known what to do if someone actually came in on me, but I was sure glad to have him with me! Now we live in a really nice middle class neighborhood and nothing likes this happens but it sure opened my eyes and with my husband being gone with his shift work I am so thankful to have gotten my GSD puppy! I am thinking about possibly having him professionally trained to react aggressively if necessary. My husband was not convinced we needed another dog but he's very relieved now that we do! I just wanted to share this story with you. Thanks again! Terri RE: Today, more than ever, people need protection dogs in their homes. With the economy the way it is, pornography, rape, drugs and theft all on the rise. I'm glad you and Jerry Lee are ok.
Rosebud/Ugo female Kamalie with her buddy Koda	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. Sue
(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

Kate
Rosebud/Ugo female	Andrea A short update on Gabriele/Gabi. (Rosebud & Ugo) She is now 8 months old and doing well. She is such a joy and everyone loves her. We call her our "wild child" which she is at times and then the neighbor girls come to visit her and she is so gentle with them. It truly is amazing. She loves the water and even went swimming in the lake this past weekend. We love all of her puppy antics - she makes us laugh everyday. Wish we had room for two of your dogs. Sharon & Bill
	She 's doing great! She sits, lays and shakes on command, she also does very well on leash. We will be starting an obedience training class soon. She loves to play in water and go camping. Laura (Pepin/Ugo Female Pup)
Heidi/Ugo male	Sorry it took so long to send a few pictures. Here is Cooper born 3/10/08 to Ugo and Heidi. He is almost 7 months old and weighs a little over 60 lbs. He is a horse. Very sweet and handsome don't ya' think? thanks so much for a wonderful dog! susan
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
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
Pepin/ Ugo male	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.
Pepin Ugo male	Hi Andrea! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the slideshow! I have been trying to bring my camera when we go hiking/outside to take pictures of Ranger because he is growing so much so fast!! My family really enjoys the slideshow as well to see how much he has changed!! He sleeps so much because when he is awake we are outdoors playing. 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 attached the most recent picture of Ranger! He is so beautiful!! Thanks again for selling him to us, we love him so much. Amy
	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
Heidi/Ugo longcoat male	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!
Pepin/Ugo male	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
Flora/Ugo female Morgan	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. ;-) Morgan is a doll! We just love her. She is beautiful inside and out. She is SO SMART. And she has the right name because she's not only healthy as a horse, she's about as big as a horse! LOL And what a great disposition! Have you ever heard that song "New Soul?" Well, that's Morgan! I can remember you saying that "everyone loves Flora" and the same is true of Morgan. Everyone loves Morgan.....We purchased a used Wrangler last year just for Morgan and Roz. We removed the back seat and put in a very thick rubber mat. They love that Jeep!! LOL Hope all is going well for you! Mary Lu
	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. Linda
	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.

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!!

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!

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,

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
