Luna has been at her new home for a week. She is doing very well with our two cats and our other dog. She ignores the cats and plays with our other dog.
I have been working with Luna to "Come" and "Sit" on command. If she is looking at me, she will always follow the command. If she is not looking at me, I get no response. I started working today on making eye contact. I have read that if the dog will maintain eye contact they are paying closer attention and will follow commands better.
We have made a lot of progress
on potty training.
She has never gone to
the bathroom in her crate.
Even on last Friday when
she had to be in her crate all day.
She occasionally has an
accident going pee in the
house, but has not had a
bowel movement in the house.
I have been very impressed
with how quick she learns.
I have a vet appointment
on November 21 to get
her 2nd round of booster
shots.

Hola José.
Espero que este todo
bien de tu lado. Pensé que te pudiera
interesar saber de tu
bebe. Esta muy hermoso
y grande. Tiene en su
contra una pequeña onda
lateral en su cola, pero
ha ido mejorando con
el peso de esta. Tiene
un buen temperamento
y pienso que va ser bravo.
Aquí fotos de antes
y después.

Hi Jose!
I wanted to send you an update.
Fleapatra (we're calling her Leah)
is doing great. She's growing so fast!
We're taking weekly pictures in the same pose,
in the same spot and she doesn't look
anything like the baby we brought home
2.5 weeks ago!
She's super sweet and extremely smart.
I started to train her a few days after
she came home, so I know how smart she is.
She's doing really well with sit, down, and come.
Of course she's getting treats every time she complies,
so that helps (I use her normal daily food
intake as rewards throughout the day instead
of feeding her actual meals with her Orijen kibble).
I ordered and watched the Leerburg video
"Your Puppy 8 weeks to 8 months"
that you recommended and it was great.
I'm basing her training on that until
she gets old enough for their
Basic Obedience training video.
Thank you so much for suggesting her out of your litter,
based on her temperament.
I think her temperament is wonderful.
She's a softie just like we wanted,
but is still so easy to train.

Hi Jose,
The puppy is doing just fine.
He already goes potty outside.
He is walking and running
without any problems.
His paw swelling went away.
We bought him the marrow
bone. (It is great)
He had no problem getting
along with the yorkie.
He likes to play in the yard
when the sun goes away
since he loves the a/c in
the house. We have him
inside most of the time.
Here is a picture.
Thanks again.

Hi Jose, Just wanted to drop you
a quick note to tell you Ember
is doing great. She is sleeping
most of the night, is learning not
to teeth on people, and going potty
outside. The change in just one week
is amazing, I can actually see a
difference in her size day to day.
The dogs and cat are used to her now too,
they aren't letting her boss them around
so much anymore, it is interesting to
watch the relationships between the
animals change.
Thank you so much for a great puppy,
she is blending in with the family
perfectly. I will keep you posted!

Just wanted to let you know
our Puppy is just perfect and
has become a quite the ranch dog. Thank you for such a wonderful puppy! Linda Fox
West Palm Beach,Florida
Mr. Diaz, we wanted to let you
know the puppy is now labeled
superpup.
He is so GOOD. He is easy to train, he has had
no accidents in the house. He slept through the night last night.
He Was waiting patiently this 5 am
to be let out .
May whine once in while but i think
that is just to hear his own voice . He has learned to sit and fetch
pretty well.
I am scared that his learning curve is HUGE.
He does not like the leash, and
I hate to put a choke chain on him but i may in a day or so
if he doesn't come around.
I have been putting the leash on him and letting him drag it
around the house so he can get used to it.
He has nipped once or twice
trying to play and is starting
to like our pant legs ,but we know this is just the beginning of that
business and it is a trainning issue. Those little razor baby teeth.
He is Very confident. Our female is taking it easy with him.
Thank you so much for being such a good breeder, it really shows
then we'll introduce something new. We use only German commands
though some I may be chopping
some up a bit.
He loves to gipp foos but
gets excited and tries to
shake with both paws at
the same time. Funny boy!
We truly made the right choice.
I'll send updates as we go along,
sorry this one took so long.
We just finished Phases I and II
of bootcamp.
This is one amazing GSD !!!

Hi Jose! Did u get my text from today?
Everything is wonderful!
He cried a few times the first night
but I only got up with him once
last night.
It's funny to watch him interact
with the kids.
He treats each one of them differently,
but once he's done playing with
them he makes his way to lay
under my feet :)
I'll email you some more
pics this weekend!

Hello Mr. Diaz
it's been a year now since
I got Fritz (Donnie) from you.
he is a splendid dog ;
I get a lot of people asking me
where I got him from they
can't believe that I got him from
a breeder in Florida let alone in Miami
Your dog proved to be worth
every penny.
I love him a lot.
Many people discouraged me
from getting a German Shepherd
as a first dog because they
are hard to handle and low tempered
But you told me that real
German Shepherd shouldn't
and you were actually right,
he is very mild and smart ,
a little stubborn at times and
very energetic but that
matched my personality.
Thank you for a great dog,
Mohammed,

Jose -
Just touching base with you to let you know that Ella is doing great. She has already learned to "sit". She has a lot of energy as puppies do and we are settling into a routine that works for Ella and the family. She has learned to pee and poop in the grass, and only pees in the house when she gets over excited to see someone come over the house to see her. She only had two poop accidents in the first few days she was home, and none since.
She loves to give puppy bites, so we watched a training video and read websites, and settled on the "YELP" method to train her not to bite hard. Now she mostly mouths our hand, but occasionally will get Brenda or Holly's leg if they are not looking.
We only crate at night and when we are gone (not often). We have her in a exercise pen filled with toys and in the same room as the family when she is out of the crate. This allows our other dog and two cats walk around the house without get a puppy sneak attack. She is getting better with our 12 yr old lab who is very submissive, but sometimes can't resist trying to play bite his ears.
I attached a couple of recent pictures of Ella in her ex-pen from this weekend.
We are taking her to the vet in about a week. Can you tell me the specific shots she will need. We only want to get what is required and necessary.
Regards. the Kappes

It has been a while we talked.
I hope you are doing well.
Just to let you know that
the puppy you sold us, Hector,
will be 4 months old in a few days.
He is doing very well.
I am attaching a couple of
photos taken today.
We have increased the
food to 3 and a half cup a day and
we often give him a couple
of spoons of plain yogurt but not
every day.

Jose this is a recent photo
of Roxy Von Calvo daughter
of Franco. Roxy is one years old now and is really
getting her training,
very calm and responds to the training everyone who sees
her is amazed at her obedience
and her beauty what a German Shepherd should look
like with all German lines.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a classic German line
to use Jose's program we are
very happy with this dog;please use

Hi there,Jose.
Bailey is one smart cookie
and has found his place in
our hearts and home.
The attached picture is
of Bailey playing with
our 12 yr old Shih Tzu, Chewie.
This has been a long time
coming as Chewie is still
grieving for Hale.
He’s lost 10% of his body weight,
which is a lot when he
only weighed 14# and was
almost comatose for over a week.
He has to start the play then
the race is on. They run, jump
and play until they’re both
exhausted which only take
a few minutes. Chewie can
outrun Bailey even with the
short legs but I doubt that
will be the case in a few weeks.
Vet said to get ready for a
growth spurt.
We’ll continue to send you
updates on his growth and
behavior but I can tell
you he’s a winner already.

I have attached photos
of Samson at 12weeks today.
He is so wonderful.
So very smart.
He is fully housebroken as
we have a doggy door and
large fenced in yard.
He goes out by himself
evertytime now. He can sit,
stay, speak, and shake,
He still eats the Orijen and
a few beef jerky treats.
I put the bacon pieces in
a small bag with his dog food
and he likes that for a treat also.
I have a question about his ears.
They are standing up already.
They are big and cute

Dear Jose
My son Luis Manuel picked up at your kennel a puppy born March 28 , 2012 .My nine year old grandson named him Cronos after having read some Greek Mythology . Cronos is now with me in the Dominican Republic , up in the mountains in a place called Jarabacoa .The temperature there is wonderful , if I close my bedroom windows I have 70 degrees F . it is wonderful. I have had German Shepherds since 1974 , i have shown and bred at least 6 Dominican Champions , some having won Best in Show the first time they went into the ring . Cronos is the most wonderful dog I have ever owned , he is superb and I am most grateful to you for providing us with Cronos .He is from another Galaxy , just outstanding in every way . In the future I will contact you to see if you can provide for us a female that would be suitable for breeding with Cronos .I believe it would be a Quantum Leap in the quality of German Shepherds in the
Dominican Republic .
Thank you very much

Biene (We call her Jenny) with
her puppies last year.
They will be a year old on May 1st.
Gretchen is the puppy we kept from the litter.
Biene is doing well. I really love
her and she has been a good girl.
She was bred again last month.
If she is pregnant, I want to wait until
late summer before getting another girl.
If she is not, I will want to purchase sooner.
I should know in the next week
or two if she is.
It is nice to know you always have
some for sale.
Do you have a site where you post them?
Thanks again for Biene.
I am very happy with her.

Hi Jose,
Hope this finds you and your family well.
I am the proud owner/mom of Gretchen "the purple puppy" born May 3, 2010. From the day I brought her home in June 2010 and she has been amazing, I cannot believe she is almost two. She is beautiful, intelligent, and so loving. I could not have wished for a better dog. She is wonderful with people and LOVES children, especially my 14 month old niece who pulls her tail, tugs on her ears and takes her toys right out of her mouth. Her temperament/disposition and social skills are out of this world. My boyfriend and I take her where ever we can. She goes out to dinner with us once a week and is such a "lady". It's actually kind of funny because most of the restaurant staff knows Gretchen by name but no-one knows mine. She went on her first vacation, we took her to the Keys for a week over the New Year holiday and she was a star. Everywhere we went people fell in love with her, they could not get over how well behaved she is. I attached a picture of her when we first got to the hotel, you can see how happy she is.
OK now that I bragged about what a great dog I have. I have a point to my e-mail.
I have only feed Gretchen Orijen large breed puppy food. I know you recommend feeding the puppy food until 18 months, but I have continued the large puppy blend. I decided to keep her on the puppy food because she is very active and continued to have defined growth spurts while maintaining a perfect slender weight. She is now 22 months and seams to be settling into her size. What Orijen food do you recommend next, adult 80/20, 6 fish or regional red? I have read the details about each on Orijen's website. I would like to have your opinion on which adult formula is be best for Gretchen over the next 60 years until she advances to the senior formula.
Thank You,
Jennifer Brott

I have a lot of thinking to do. I perused your entire website,
which was very informative and well put together.
Had I known how vast your bloodlines, your knowledge
and that you are second generation breeder of German Shepherds,
I probably would have
been intimidated to speak to you. You are easy to talk to
and certainly know your German Shepherd dog business.
A clean, healthy, happy puppy as a life long companion is what we are looking for.

Jose just wanted to send you a photo of the puppy we purchased the father was your Franco Von Gross Zunder. The puppy is awesome she has been potty trained in two weeks. She listens to the following commands sit, heal, come, eat. I have been using all the training tips on your site as well as the referrals. Thanks again for being part of the process for us to bring this awesome puppy into our home. Her temperment and coloring are awesome everyone loves her in the community. The vet gave her a clean bill of health. Please use this pup photo on your site. I would highly recommend anyone interested in a full bred german shepherd with German pedigree to look no further than your site in South Florida.

Xandra has arrived. She is in good health and in good spirits. She has had fun checking out our current house and back yard and she says to send her approval. My wife and I picked her up at the airport and only had to wait about 20 minutes before she was brought to the cargo bay. She was hungry, for sure. She is definitely snuggling up to both of us quite a lot, which is very, very nice. And boy does she behave. Wow. For people not in the 'dog world,' we have no clue how is nice it is buying the late model Mercedes. I will pick up my son and two of his school mates and be bringing them home to a big surprise for Tristan. She is going to be loved to death by that boy. What'a retirement.
Thank you so much for a great transaction. We are very happy with Xandra. I suspect we will be contacting you in the near future about other dogs.

Happy Holidays!
So It's been a year since we picked up Franco and we really love him.
He is fairly well behaved as you can see in this video http://youtu.be/TI47US8zj00 , but we would like to send him to get some advanced training so he listens ALL the time instead of just when he wants.

He is doing great. Now he's starting to bark when he hears noises. Has a fantastic personality with everyone, though. Learns very quickly.

Just took this picture of her. Just finished playing ball. She is a very smart pup. I think she is going to be great for us. I will send you an update as time goes and also a thank you and reference for your site. Not sure who is more tired, her or me!
Thank you,
Talk to you soon.

Dear Mr Diaz,
My name is Zachary Gaw, we have corresponded via email previously, and I have been following your site, for years now. I wanted to compliment you on all your hard work that you have accomplished for this wonderful breed. I have been a long time GSD owner or I have long been owned by German Shepherd's and am a huge fan of the breed. Currently, I own a wonderful female, plush coat who is a cross between DDR and West German lines. She is my girl, and a second Momma to my three kids, always watching or playing with them, to make sure they are safe. Your site has been an absolutely amazing resource for our family. We relied mostly on the monks of New Skete, as our training resource, where I first learned of Bill Fliescherheim, which led me to you! Bill actually lives not too far from me, on the other side of Folsom Lake in Northern California. anyways, I have long wanted to surround myself and my family with more four legged family members, but as a renter, this wish has not been able to come to fruition. However, my Wife and I are looking to purchase a new home, with plenty of space to include another GSD. I realize that the litter from Tuareg slated for March will be in high demand, so I was wondering if, in your opinion, the end of January, would be too late to reserve and pay for a male from this litter? With the upcoming home purchase, the transition period for our family to a new home, March would be perfect timing to bring in a new family member, but I understand that his litter maybe spoken for by then. I would love to put a deposit down ahead of time, but again with the new home purchase, moving costs, and Christmas for our kids, our budget is going to be very tight over the next few months. Anyways. whether it has been feeding our Anna, Orijen, or requiring our Vet to use only mercury free rabies vaccination, to picking her up and carrying her outside during her house training, your site has been an amazing resource and as a result we have a very happy well rounded GSD in our family, and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your wisdom with us,, I truly mean it when I say God Bless you! I look forward to building a relationship with you and your kennel, as I will never purchase another GSD from anyone other than you. Thank you for your time, and knowledge,

Ginger @ 7 months. She is almost
as tall as our 3 year old GSD.
She is a very sweet and playful dog.
Thank you,
Hey Jose, Nala is doing well. she is now three and still just as energized as she was at 1. Still getting compliments about her from everyone even people who have had bad experiences with shepherds seem to fall in love with her. I'm hoping sometime in the near future we can get her a brother. take care and keep up the great work.

Jose, here are some birthday pics of Samantha Boris Vom Kirsys . She turned 1 on June 30 2011, she is a solid happy healthy 100 pounds , but even with her size she is a sweet loving girl, she is great with kids and other dogs, she loves to dig and bury, I don't inhibit any of this behavior as I think it is part of her character. She proudly brings me things she has previously buried. she is an excellent swimmer and frisbee dog. She loves the run and chase. She loves the water so much I sometimes have trouble getting her to come ashore. She is very smart and it seems like she can read my mind most of the time. I bring her to the dog park all the time and I get to be the proud father when people say how beautiful and sweet she is. I alway give you the credit and recommend if they want the same results to go to you. Thanks again for my sweet Samantha. Sincerely, Joe

Ginger has adjusted well to her new home and we are very pleased with how good she is doing with the house training. It is amazing how fast she is growing!!
I can tell a difference in Jack's coat since we put him on Orijen.
Thanks for your guidance.
I have attached a picture of Jack and Ginger resting after playing together. Everyone (including me and Darrol)
is settling in to the new routines.
See you soon.

She's very bonded to me.

Jose,
George and I wanted to send a picture of Max. He is so awesome and is so
smart. He is wonderful with the kids and very protective.
We couldn't have
picked a better pup.
It is hard to believe he is 10 months.
As you know I am
in the Army, and I take him to work with me often.
I wanted to send you a few recent pictures of R.D. and thank you for such a wonderful addition to our family. As you know, he slept through the night the first night home and was almost completely house trained by 8 weeks old. He is so intelligent. By 10 weeks he knew his name and how to sit, come, fetch, speak and “high-five” on command. At 12 weeks he learned how to catch a ball within 5 minutes and how to lie down on command. He loves to splash in the pool. He jumps in on the tanning ledge and just has a great time and is smart enough to know not to go off the ledge into the deeper water. Losing our German Shepherd, Rudi, after 10 years was really tough on Ruben and me, but R.D. has brought us immense joy. He has a wonderful personality and great temperament. We have had company on several occasions and he has been extremely well-behaved. I have recommended you to my friends and family and will definitely come to you again when we are ready to add another puppy to our family. Again, many thanks and feel free to post this recommendation on your website.
With warmest regards,
Diana Rosado, Miami,Fl.

Hey Jose,
He is amazing!!! He did so good last night. A few fusses but overall really great. He was so thirsty last night I got up only once to take him out because he drank a lot of water. It killed my girls to go to school today! I felt so badly for them but it’s been nice to have time with him for Mark and IJ. My husband works out of the house so we’ve had a wonderful day getting to know him. He plays fetch pretty well considering he is eight weeks old, him and Lucy started to bond this afternoon. Our other dog wasn’t mean but very cautious and not sure of him until today. They were starting to play this afternoon so I was really happy to see that. We’ve been outside a lot and enjoying some sunshine. We really love him. I’ll send you some pictures this weekend when the girls can get some time with him. They insisted he went to school with them this morning and I’ll take him to pick them up. Thank you so much for such an amazing dog, really. He is absolutely so handsome, very cool personality, and so smart. He really has stolen all of our hearts. Have a great day and I’ll get you a picture here pretty quick.
Blessings,
Helweg family, Panama
Dear Jose
I hope that this email finds you and yours well. How is your son doing? If I remember correctly he was born about the time that Eva was born. He must be getting really big. Time has a way of going by so fast. The older I get the faster it seems to go. Eva is doing really well. She is so smart it's scary. She seems to understand whole sentences the first time I tell them to her. I feel like one of us is just a few brain cells short of communicating verbally. I tend to think that it's me.
I can't thank you enough for the excellent job of breeding that you did. I finally got off my lazy butt and took some pictures for you. I don't think that they are very good but at least it's a start.
Belatedly here are some pictures of Eva. They in no way do her justice as she is so much more beautiful and majestic in person.
Best of luck to you and yours and enjoy all the upcoming holidays. I will try and do better keeping in touch.
Hope that you like the pictures.

Hi Jose,
Just wanted to send you a note about Ares vom Kirsys. He is growing up beautifully and doing very well in training. Our trainer breeds champion German Shepherds himself and just loves Ares and cannot wait until he's ready for the show ring. We are already getting inquiries on breeding. He has everything prized in the GSD breed. He amazes me with how incredibly intelligent he is and how he has a natural loyalty and protectiveness. I couldn't have dreamed up a better dog. We love him so much and are very thankful for him.
Here are some pictures of him at 8 months. We will get you more soon.
Thanks so much!

Hi Jose,
I got the papers today, thank you. The puppy is doing great, she fits right in. Her name is Gretchen she seems to like it and responds well. I am so happy with her. Thank you for sending the pictures they are great. I have attached a few for you. The pictures from Nov are of Lucky GSD Trixie Cat and Mac was my 13 yr old dog who past away shortly after and a couple of Lucky. The others were taken Sunday.
On a different note, What you do for flea protection? I currently get my house and yard treated approx every three months and have used meds in the past (advantage and confortis). I hate both and am wondering if you have alternatives.
Jose thank you for such a wonderful dog, I look forward to sending you updates!
Jennifer Brott,Ft.Lauderdale,FL
Hi Jose,
Just thought I would email you and give you an update. It was after 11pm last night before they unloaded the plane and Seth got Blue.... He is gorgeous!! The introduction to Bella went well, they both wagged their tales, and after a few minutes decided it was time to play - it was very cute. We couldn't be any happier. He was a little shaken from the plane and likely the thunder, but he relaxed and snuggled up on Seth's lap driving home. He has been quite clingy since, sitting on or between our feet when not biting at our ankles. We're already good buddies.
There had been a lot of playing today... followed by a lot of sleeping... then some play time followed by another nap... and again.
He's also impressed us by letting us know when he needed to go pee or poo and let us take him outside - almost every time.
We have also decided to re-name Blue now that we have met him. His new name is Bear! He seems very confident, a little feisty and we're sure he will grow into it.
I will send some photos over the weekend.
Thanks for everything
Emma, Seth, Bella and now Bear too, Atlanta,GA
Hi Jose, Even though you have seen Lex recently, I just wanted to tell you what a great puppy he is. He is very spoiled and loves to play. He is very obedient and has excellent temperament. Thank you very much for providing me with the perfect puppy. We couldn't be happier. We will definitely be purchasing from you in the future!!

Hi Jose,

Hello Jose,
Five years ago my husband and I bought Bella from you, and we would now like to reserve another puppy for our family.
Bella has been a great addition to our family. She is very loving and affectionate (sometimes forgetting her size when she tries to sit on our laps!), extremely loyal and always a part of everything we do. She is first to get in the car whenever we are going anywhere. She loves camping with us, going out on the boat, and we can't hardly keep her out of any water source! Everywhere we go we get stopped for people to comment on how pretty she is.
One of the reason we bought her was for a companion for our male german shepherd, Byron. Unfortunately our Byron passed away last year and as much as it devastated us, it also devastated Bella. Bella lost her dear friend, which she mourns and misses dearly. We would love to get her another friend. Bella is extremely playful and just loves interacting with other dogs... her excitement to play with other dogs is very adorable but sometimes overwhelming for everyone.
We would like to reserve a male puppy from your Furbo and Fixy upcoming litter. Could you please let me know approximately how much a puppy would be and also what we need to do to reserve one.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards Emma , Seth and Bella Miller, North Carolina
Dear Jose,
Sorry I have not been able to send you pictures of Anubis, I have been very busy with work. He is growing so fast and I absolutely adore him. He's very obedient and is extremely affectionate with me, other people and dogs. He is truly a little blessing. Everywhere I take him, people stop to play with him and admire his beauty and amazing personality. He is very protective of me and loves to be with me no matter where I go. I would like to thank you again for providing me with such a beautiful, intelligent, and amazing animal. He is, by far, the best dog I have ever had.
Sincerely, Samantha
Mr Diaz,
Our family purchased a female pup from you about 6 weeks ago and I have to tell you how pleased we are.
She is a gem!
Thanks again,
Jim
Baby is gorgeous, will send Pics when I get back from work today!
Very smart, he sits, opens drawers and kitchen cabinets! LOL
Addie
Jose,
Hi, Gunner is wonderful. He is such a sweet dog and very energetic!
We are not able to buy another female right now, but if you hear of someone who needs a family to adopt a female we would be interested.
Thanks and have a great day.
Dana and family, Fort Myers,Florida
Hi Jose,
I hope you like the photos of Bella and Bear. He has settled in really well.. and is keeping us very busy. He is absolutely precious. We love him, he is just perfect. Bella has taken a little time to warm up to him, but they play well and are getting along just fine.
We have not written for some time, but we want you to know that Jaco is doing very well. He is going on 4 years old in Feb and is an exceptional dog - protector, companion and exceptional in his intelligence, physicality and ability to know threat from friend. He is very beautiful, at times excitable, but is outgrowing this.
Will send photos soon.
Joe and Gail Kleisinger, Saskatchewan , Canada
Hello Jose, I hope that everything is well with you. I wanted to send you some updated pictures of Mia, she's growing up very fast. After we bought Mia from you I was reading some of the references that you have online, and how everybody were saying that the new dog is the center of the family, and I was thinking to myself how drastic the change can be, but now I can totally understand, everything that we do or talk has to involve her somehow, she is just amazing and so special that it’s so fun to include her in everything, and now I can defiantly say like all the rest of the people that bought a German shepherd from you the she is one of the best things that we could have brought home.
Thanks for the support and all the phone calls.

Sancho Vom Kirsys
Hi, Jose, Just a few lines to let you know that Sancho is doing beautifully. He has really turned out to be such a wonderful dog. He is part of the family and I mean my whole family! One of the things I love most and which impresses people is that Sancho LOVES children. He plays and is very protective of them. He is now 1 year and 7 months old. Here is a picture of him I took yesterday. Hope you like it. Michelle, Puerto Rico
Hello, Jose, Jax is getting bigger and more beautiful everyday here are some photos, he is great Thanks

Hello Jose,
Just wanted to send you a couple of recent photos of our dog – Kailo, so that you can see how good he looks at four.If I remember correctly he is 28” at the shoulder and weighs 90 lbs.As you can see he has a beautiful shiny coat.Still eats the Lamb and Rice - Eukanuba or Blue Buffalo.He seems to have a very high prey drive – for example the way our cat walking by at the other end of the house catches his eye and he takes off after her as do squirrels outside, etc. He is very suspicious of strangers yet is very friendly with everyone that we tell him it’s OK to be friendly with.Loves kids of all ages like nothing I have ever experienced - other than a very loud, whiny bark right at their face (for attention) he has never bared a tooth to any of them.
He is a true member of the family; sleeps in the master bedroom; lies down by the dinner table until we give him something at the end of the meal; loves his walks and car rides and occasionally vacations with us at the beach.Gets along great with our older female Sheltie and has become extremely obedient, heels very nicely, including with our two teenage daughters, can be walked off leash and hangs out at the front yard as my shadow when I’m messing around in the garage with the cars or boat.All the neighbours know him as do my girls’ friends.He is exactly what I told my wife daughters I wanted for our family.
Thank you very much.

Hey Jose how are you doing? Not sure if you remember me ; I bought Axel from you almost 2 years ago. He is doing great very smart and good temperament..... he is even getting better with seeing other dogs, used to bark and get really excited now he just breaths hard, I guess he is getting older and wiser.
Thanks,

Xena Vom Kirsys
Hello Jose,
We've had our "Xena" from you for over a year, and I just wanted to tell you what a awesome dog she is. I train with her three days a week at a Shutzhund club in SW FL she past her Canine Good Citizen's Test with no problem. We are working on her BH test for this fall. And then we would like to title her in Shutzhund. She loves to work, she's great at tracking, obedience (she sometimes has a mind of her own) but doing great, and protection is one of her favorites. I'm trying to get her to have a big girl bark right now. To her protection is just fun! Our club members love her, they think she's the best looking dog in the club. I have to agree. When we picked her out she seemed to be an alfa personnality and that hasn't changed. Thank you for giving us this wonderful member of our family.

Hey Jose I'm sorry i have not been able to send a photo of nala since i got her from you a year ago. anyway attached are two pictures of her. she is growing nicely. she loves to play and bark especially when she cant get her way. I have received nothing but compliments about in regards to her attitude and looks. I want to thank you for allowing me the chance to be a proud parent of this beautiful dog. thank you. A Pacheco
I have to tell you Jose, this pup reminds me of the greatest Shepherd I ever owned, Shultz. Learns everything on the first try; an unbelievable spirit for life, with a strong independent streak I like to see. Training with this dog will be a breeze and I believe he'll be more than ready to hit the mountains by August if he continues as he's showing now.
Thank you sooooo much. I'm aready in love and what better time than Easter! Enjoy your holiday and God bless.

Hey Jose how's it going? It's Alex, we bought the puppy from you in early December. We absolutely love our dog he is so smart my son named him Axel. I'm starting to teach him how to sit and he is sleeping in his crate perfectly. Thanks for hooking it up. Here are some pictures. Alex Crespi 1-16-08

Hello, they are doing beautifully and too smart for their own good :) lOUISVILLE, KY
It's been a long time (we bought our puppy from you on Dec 2006). Anyways, here is an update on how the puppy is doing, and here is his link at the German Shepherd Database:
We have been meaning to tell you how pleased we are with our beautiful Kahn. He is so smart, and has a wonderful temperament. He is great with children and gets along with all of our family perfectly. We have taught him to get along with people, and he is very social. He is also very strong when he senses danger or something like that and always warns us even though he is still a puppy (10 months now :-). Anyways, we might be looking for another GSD and we'll be sure to call you whenever we are ready !! :-D
Barron
Jose, Just wanted to let you know that we decided to name him Barron. He's doing great, we're going to take him today to get his chip scanned. I'll call you when I get the number off the chip. Sorry it to so long to send a picture, Been real busy. By the way Diana's completely in love with him, Thanks, he's made us both real happy.
Ian & Bismarck
Bismarck is a WONDERFUL boy.. He has a strong drive while still being my 3 yr old's best friend.. He is a perfect match for our family and fits in very well. He is a fast learner being too smart for his own good sometimes.. (Like learning how to get water out of the door to the freezer by pushing the lever) In all my years of owning and training shepherds he is one of a kind for sure.. :) His personality is just awesome.. He is my second son and I love him very much.. :) -

Enclosed is a picture of Odin Happy Holidays !

Xena is one of the greatest investments I have ever made. She is not even considered an animal in our life, she is simply part of the family. She is loyal, loving, and so much fun to be around. Xena arguably the nucleus of our family Its amazying to see how she can be a great family pet and at the same time be protective. To sum it up, words can not explain the joys or happiness she has brought to our lives.
Hack Family, Miami,FL
Jose, Attached are pictures of Kreiger. He is such a 'big boy' and he brings us joy every day. He lets strangers know not to 'mess' with his house and his mommy and daddy, using his big bark, but when a child is around, he is so gentle. We love him and he's a very spoiled boy.

An old soul as they say. She loves to travel and is a very good traveler. Climbs in the back seat, curls up- takes a nap and I'm sure she is thinking - "are we there yet". Our first puppy with you and she won't be the last!!

Hello Jose, I have been meaning to send you a new photo and update on the pups now that Neo just turned 1. Neo and Nemesis are doing just great.

Dear Jose Good to hear from you. Eva is doing just fine. This picture is from about 5 months ago. About 6 weeks ago she finished with her first heat. When she finished with her "heat" she seemed to mature a lot and got even smarter! She is a great dog but a little headstrong so it's constant training, training, training. She really responds well. It's like talking to a 7 year old child. My Vet said that she was the best GSD that he ever had in the office. Will send a more recent foto.
Regards,

This is Alberto Gonzalez, Kailo Vom Kirsys dad. I have been meaning to send you photos of him for a long time, two years to be exact - better late than never. The last time I saw you was at the office I work at in Coral Gables at 901 Ponce. Hope all is well with you and your family - and your dogs.
Kailo turned two this past Friday the 27th. As you can see from the pics he is very big; 28" at the shoulder and weighed 85 lbs the last time we were at the vet, which was about six months ago at 18 months of age. He's probably close to a hundred by now. He almost looks like a long hair but his long hair is mainly at the back of the legs. He is thin and very active. He has what must be a very high prey drive because he loves to play fetch anywhere he can, whether inside the house, in the backyard or at the nearby school field. He usually trembles with anticipation as he waits for the throw. He loves to run after squirrels that run along the top rail of our house's wood fence. We also throw a "kong", which is a heavy rubber ball-like toy with a nylon rope that can be thrown a very long distance; sometimes ha can almost reach it before it lands. He never wants to stop and ususally brings the kong or whatever we have been throwing, in his mouth, all the way back home. Sometimes we kid that we don't know what he really looks like because he always seems to have one of his toys in his mouth. My wife complains that our kids never had toys all over the place like he seems to have.
He eats the Eukanuba lamb and rice, 2.5 to 3 cups in the morning and in the evenings as you recommended. We also give him Eukanuba treats and supplement his meals once to three times a week with home cooked skinless/boneless chicken with brown rice, garlic, carrots and celery. My girls prepare a large batch and we freeze individual portions ready to serve.
He is very social and loves all my girls friends - and I mean loves. They are all teenagers and when a group of friends come over he acts as if he is the host of the party spending time with all the guests. As you can imagine he is the life of these get-togethers. He really likes the pool parties - even though he really doesn't like to go in the pool, he does like the top step. He also loves all the younger cousins and likes to shadow/follow them all around the house and or yard.
We take him for walks as often as we can, sometimes alomost every day of the week and no less than at least once or twice per week. He loves car rides - maybe more than walks. We took him for basic obedience classes and he picked that up very well, whish we had continued, even though he seems to be getting more and more obedient as time passes.
He sleeps in the master bedroom, ususally by my wive's side of the bed, in his upholstered foam bed or on his sheepskin imitation padded blanket.
We all feel very secure having him at home and specially if we leave the girls alone at home with him. We feel the best place to have him for maximum protection is inside the house. If my eldest daughter happens to drive her boyfriend home late at night, when he is without his car, she usually takes Kailo to accompany her on the way back.
We have a 7year old Sheltie that believe it or not is the alpha dog, eventhough he has turned on her/scolded her a couple of times as they were both competing for attention from visitors. We were able to stop him immediately with a simple "no" though. We also have a cat, which he likes to smell and also tries to lick, eventhough she is not very social.
I'd like to take him by there one day so that you can see the fruits of your labor and to see how he compares with Horace.
What else can I say but THANK YOU.

Gracias Jose. Se porta bien, creciendo y madurando poquito a poquito. No tiene ni la mas remota idea de que es una perra. Ella siente que es una nina como la hermana de 9 anos. Se alborota con mi hija y sus amigas y se pone como una nina chiquita. Si la vieras sentada en el sofa mirando tele enmedio de las ninas. Manny y Fabiola Castaneda
Noah is big...just turned 3 and as you can see, he and Charlie just love each other. Charlie is so protective of him...even sleeps in his room by the foot of the bed.
He turned out to be an awesome dog with a beautiful personality. He loves attention from everyone and has mellowed out over the past year. He likes playing in the backyard, running with his toys, playing with water, and is just an all-around great dog. Everyone who sees him tells us how beautiful he is...you can just see it in his face.
How are your wife and baby doing?
Hope all is well and definitely keep us posted with the litter. Simon and I would love a female for Charlie.
