Comments: What a beauty your new puppy is! Good luck with her. Of course no dog is more beautiful than our Kara. I hope your up coming litter is equal to the last. What a great set of pups that was. Keep up the good work!
How did you hear about this site? Kara told me

Wow, we never imagined the dog our young pup would become. From a fuzzy ball of black and red fur with floppy ears, grew a super girl who has the run of the 100 acre farm. She manages the livestock keeping them all where they belong and moving them when asked, she keeps stray dogs away and the occassional preditor that frequents the land, announces the arrival of any stranger, tenderly walks beside our youngest while she holds onto a handful of fur and allows the kittens to nestle down with her in front of the fireplace when the cold winds blow outside the door. She has been treasure to us and we hope will be for years to come. I'll be calling soon to come down and get another as a companion for our dear Katie when the spring thaw arrives. Thanks so much for allowing us to purchase this wonderful dog. -Amy

Talk about Deja Vu....I just read the story from the girl named AMY about her dog. She has to know my Lexi. Lexi was out of your girl Egypt and she is she is the sweetest dog I've ever had. It took her all of four hours to check out our home and yard before she figured it was hers. SHe is ever vigilant to the occassional unbidden guest that comes over the fence (squirrels), wants to play with the cat from down the road that comes to call, stands with her paws perched upon the fence to beg the neighbor's little boy to come over and give her some attention, then lies beside my chair while watch tv at night. Last but not least, she travels with me and makes me feel protected as she sits up beside me on the front seat of the truck and makes a warm cushion in my bed when I sleep. I love this girl, Bella Rosa, and only wish I had more room for another. I will tell all my friends about your dogs. ....Stacy

Maury is good dog. He loves to swim. He loves to go through the woods with us and picks up everything. He works with my dad who is in the wheelchair. Thank you for working with him for us. Dad is now making him his helper dog and takes him every time he has to go to town. People at the stores where they go all say he is such a handsome dog. Steven Kelly

Just purchased a pup from the Drago/Alli litter. I am so glad I took him home.He is so smart. I had him house trained in only 3 days! Thanks,Vinny Catalano

Nice site! Love your compassion for the breed. I have Male GSD, Cox vom Waliboer Land, true DDR lines, bi color, and found the perfect female in your kennel while looking for the perfect female to breed. I purchaesd Cox while living in Germany, family protection, and after breeding to your female, Aurora, I now have the perfect black male shepherd, Chance. Now my family is complete. Thanks Debbie.

Chance

Oh my gosh, I have the smartest puppy now. I looked at several breeders and quite a few pups before I found my Kaiser. When I found my boy, I knew he was the dog for my family. Debbie knows so much about the breed and gave me loads of information on nutrition, health care, training and even showing our pup. He now has his 7 points in his conformation title, is double registered and is working toward his UD since he already has his CD and CDX. This spring we will begin Rally and I can hardly wait. Debbie thanks so much for my wonderful dog. I wish I'd met you sooner. Maria Alvera

Sara

I love my Sara Lee. Sara is everything you said she would be. I don't know how you did it but she is the pup we WERE looking for. Even though we had picked another one, you kept telling me you felt Sara was the pup that would 'fit' us better. It is incredible. You must know your dogs as well as you know your lines. You told us how you had taken the time over the years putting together the right bloodlines that would click and make the perfect shepherd. Sara sleeps in our bed 'between' Jimmy and me, nuzzles Rebecca every morning to wake her when she is ready to go outside and keeps us laughing from sun up to sun down with her antics yet when the time comes, she settles on down to business when she goes into the ring to compete. We love her to death and haven't regretted our decision. Thanks so much for all you do with your beautiful dogs. We'll be back soon for our companion for Sara when Rebecca is ready to show one of her own. Valerie Morrison

What happened once as an accident, became a habit! Remember when I told you Jesse had fallen off the peir? Well, he figured he really didn't mind getting wet. Now he swims every day. What a dog he is. He is so gentle with the kids now that he is older, hates it when they get into skirmishes and tries to seperate them, yet loves to play ball with them for hours. Heck, he follows me on the trails when we ride and we haven't yet had a dog chase us again when he is along. He knows his job is to be protective and yet the grandbabies can crawl all over him and he never tries to hurt them (but I can't say they haven't hurt him by pulling his ears and all). The boys love to hike and he always goes off with them and sees to it that they come home safely. This boy is one of a kind and yes, you were right....German lines gave him the mindset to be a great dog with a great temperament and the American side gave him his looks.....Thanks so much for letting us have this handsome boy.

Debbie-Awesome is the word I would use to describe our wonderful dog. We love him so much and he is the perfect dog for us. We are working on our obedience work now and he is doing great. The trainer is even amazed at how far he has come along in such a short time. Thanks again, K

From the Hause x Aurora litter, there was one handsome young male that was placed into service on behalf of this great country. He subsequently saved the lives of more than twenty soldiers by locating mines that may have otherwise taken their lives. This is the one of the highest honors a breeder may have...to have produced an exceptional pup that places its own life on the line and saves the lives of others by doing so. Congratulations to our hero on behalf of our family.

Ziva is so much fun, very smart, and she seems so happy. One of us is up with her all the time when we are on the road and she just loves it. This pic is from salt lake city, ut. We had just got done playing fetch and she was tuckered out. She got a kiddy pool at home. She just
learned how to jump onto the bed yesterday, practicing a lot today. She learns things very quickly. We tell her not to mess up the truck when we leave for showers or dinner and she will get a treat. Only messed up the truck one time after that. Just happened to be our load papers. Oops out fault not high enough.  I will keep in touch she is doing great. Our vet just fell in love with her and said she is very healthy and is a little joy. Thanks again. J. Mckelvie
 
Piper is such a joy that is the only way I can explain her. We just got home this morning and she just settle right in. She has attitude, personality, and everything we wanted. She is such a joy. I can't thank you enough. We are working in table manners now. I will send you some pics. Soon Julie and Gary
