"TURBO"
Sherle,
I wanted to
share with you a photo story/video of Turbo. I also
wanted to let you know how pleased I am with him. He is
definitely what I was looking for in a German Shepherd.
At the young age of 6 months, he has tremendous drive
and is turning into a great working dog already! I know
that he will become a top performing sport dog in the
competitive obedience ring and protection ring. I will
begin competing with him in these two venues in the
Spring of '08 at the Service Dogs of America trial.
Turbo also has the great temperament that I was looking
for in a dog - he is the Total Package! Sherle, thanks
again for helping me to select just the right puppy for
me. Enjoy the video!

From Raven and Logan 3/07: Willie
Bear
Dear
Sherle,
You might have already guessed, we are in love with Willie
Bear. He really does sometimes just sit when we are walking him
until we call and make a big fuss about him, then he comes running
(with a smile on his face) He has one ear up and looks very cute.
He is getting along great with the other dogs, but Willie is still
sleeping in the house. He is extremly smart and cuddly, sits
beautifully, try to get tangled up in our feet, doesn't mess in his
inside crate. We are reading the book about puppies written by the
Monks of Skete, very interesting. I'll send you some
pictures soon
of Willie. Thank you for raising a great
puppy.

Izzy
Pop
Dr.
Sherle,
I
just wanted to write you and let you know how
happy we are with our puppy. Michelle named her Izzy Pop and I
will be sending in her registration this week. Izzy and Gravy,
our black
lab, are
already
getting along great. She seems to have
made
a very smooth transition and is a very quick learner. We have
already fallen in love with
her, and could not imagine her not being a part of our family.
Thank you so much for everything. We look forward to hearing
from
you in the future. I attached some pictures we have taken
of her.
I
will continue
to send more to you.
Thanks
again,
Harold

Just wanted to show you how much she has grown up. She
is a gorgeous dog. It is amazing how easy she has been
to train. She is so eager to please. Her
athleticism is also incredible. She can jump so high with no effort at all.
She truly is exactly what we hoped for.
Thank you so much.

RUDY
Hi Sherle,
I want to let you how much I love my little Rudy and to thank you
for him. So far he's been doing GREAT. House training is going
VERY well (thank you so much for all the preliminary work you've
done). I've been getting a pretty good night's sleep the past
couple nights, which I didn't expect. He's also doing well with the
kitties, although he displays a strong desire to PLAY with them,
which is cute to me but scary to them. When he's sleeping they get
close to him to investigate. I think with time they're going to be
great friends.
Rudy is getting used to wearing a collar and leash and today we're
going to go for a short car ride and a short walk at Stone
Mountain. I'll send you pictures soon.
Thanks again, you obviously did a lot of good socializing and work
with the puppies.

Hi Sherle,
It's
been a few weeks since I've sent you pictures of my Rudy. He
continues to do great and I continue to fall more and more in
love with him. We started regular obedience classes a few weeks
ago and he does great. He continues to learn the rules of the
house and he's learning that if he relaxes around the kitties
they'll actually play with him. His favorite treats are ice
cubes and tomatoes that he eats right off my plants in the yard
(I think he likes the thrill of picking them more than the taste
of them)...but he'd certainly never pass up a biscuit or meaty
treat!! He's growing so fast and he already lost his first
canine tooth on Sunday.
We found a great park very close to home that has trails and a
lake that he can swim in and we often meet lots of other dogs
and people (he loves to meet other dogs). I took him there the
other night for a walk and since it was raining a little bit and
no one was around, I took him over to explore the playground
equipment. I encouraged him to walk through the "tunnel" and
then he slid down the slide. It was hilarious. Of course, then
he wanted to do it over and over again and now when he sees
playground equipment he wants to play on it (which of course,
isn't possible when there are human children playing!). I think
after our obedience classes I might try agility with
him...probably nothing competitive but I think it's something
we'd both enjoy.
I hope
you enjoy the pictures.

Tindra
Dear
Sherle,
I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with Tindra. She is
everything I expected and more! She is over the top intelligent and
has incredible drive. We have been taking her everywhere with us
and she has performed beautifully. Knowing our plans for our new
puppy you did a wonderful job helping us pick just the right one.
We begin formal training soon and I have very high expectations for
her. I will try to remember to start toting the camera with me
everywhere so I can send you more pictures.
By
the way----I know I am prejudiced, but she is beautiful! I love the
rough coat!!!
Thanks for everything!

Sherle,
I wanted you to see Tindra's Penn Hip scores. You know after having
two other shepherds with terrible joints how thrilled I am to finally
have such a healthy dog. Watching her run and jump without worrying
about her hips is truly a joy.
I am also attaching a new picture of the girls. I have had several
comments about their athleticism and excellent temperament. We are
going to try agility this summer and think "the girls" are really going
to enjoy it.
