HI Penny
just wanted to take time to email you and let you know how wonderful & healthy Mannix is. 
HE already knows sit, come, lie down, watch me and is a joy to have. Also when we went to our first puppy class the instructor was able to do a "long" watch me (7 seconds) with no problems at all and she remarked about how good, smart he is. I have been able to get him to do a long watch me (25 seconds)
He loves everyone I have taken him to soccer games where he was around other dogs/kids nothing bothers him. He is not skittish/doesn't bark alot etc.
He has such a wonderful temperament and is extremely healthy and happy. You can tell what a great start he had with you and your family in the way you socialize them with others. I see the care and love they get at your house and how clean and wonderful the enviroment is.
I am so lucky to have found such a great breeder who cares about her dogs, doesn't mind questions/emails and becomes part of an extended family. I don't know many breeders who invite everyone back for a potluck picnic.
If we are able to purchase another GSD it will definitely be with you.

1, 2, 3, how do we count the ways Izzi has enriched our lives.. the numbers do not go high enough.
Izzi is pure happiness & joy. Her zeal for living each day to the fullest ... some call HIGH DRIVE we call high living.
She works hard & plays hard. She is a wonderful family dog & working dog all rolled into one beautiful compact Sable GSD. There is no task she is unwilling to do, as long as she knows what you want & we take the leadership role, she will perform excellently. She is a work in progress, always growing & mastering her skills along with us doing the same with the assistance of professional local trainers.
Izzi's level of keen smell & intuitive intelligence keeps us sharp, as we need to be 5 steps ahead of her & sometimes, that is not enough with her large leaps & bounds both physical & intellectual.
We look forward to a long healthy, happy live together as a family with lots of visits up to Stronghold Shepherd's Family Farm & Kennels. Izzi absolutely enjoys going back to visit them, as well as playing with all her K-9 buddies. Their home is a little piece of heaven, thanks to Love, Knowledge & Devotion given by Penny, Will & Theron to this extraordinary dog called The German Shepherd.

Hello Penny,
I thought you might like an update on how Gypsy is doing. She is a
beautiful little girl. She has become very attached to me and loves to
go everywhere with me.  Gypsy was at the vets today for a healthy puppy check and she weights 30 pounds now. The vet is very pleased with her development. She is doing very well in her puppy classes. I really enjoy working with her, she is so smart and learns very quickly. Gypsy was puppy tested for therapy dog training and passed with flying colors. I hope to do further therapy training as I would enjoy being able to share my beautiful Gypsy with others. Also, I wanted to let you know that we have scheduled Gypsy to be spayed in early November. We all hope to come up and visit sometime in October if that would be alright with you and your family. I will write again with an update later. Kelly |

Jim and I would like you to know just what a wonderful dog Max is.
Max is the fourth German Shepherd to share our home and life. He is by far the best. From the time we responded to your ad in the Burlington Free Press and went up to see the pups we were smitten. It was difficult to make a choice from your litter. They were all so cuddly and playful. But we decided on Max. You told us that we would have to wait another two weeks before we could bring him home. It was a long two weeks!
When we brought Max home we discovered what a smart loving puppy he was. We have had Max with us for a year and a half now. He is a full fledged member of the family. He is welcoming to all of our friends and visitors while keeping a keen eye out for intruders. He is gentle with children. He plays with our five year old grandson and while they play hard he seems to be always mindful of his size and just how small Michael is.
We decided to use the Vet that you have in Stowe, even though it is a bit of a drive from Burlington, thanks to Max's robust health we have not had to make many trips to Stowe.
So many people have commented on what a beautiful dog Max is. Telling us he is just about the most beautiful German Shepherd they have ever seen., and ask us where we got him.
We are so happy with Max and with all of the support you have given us since we bought him. You have always been very free with any advise we have needed. Knowing that we can leave Max with you whenever we travel gives us peace of mind. He has spent time with you and your family twice since we have had him. While it is difficult to be separated from him, knowing where he is and what good hands he is in, makes it easier.
We also enjoyed the Pot Luck Dnner/Doggie Reunion that you hosted in October. Getting to see all of Max's relatives, including his Grandmother was such fun. Max really enjoyed playing with his sister Izzie!
We would recommended your dogs to anyone interested in purchasing one with the firm conviction that whoever has the good fortune to get one of your dogs will soon recognize that she/he has gained a rare loving and robust dog indeed.

Hi Penny,
I asked my wife to type this because I just don't go online. 
Lexie is such a joy to our lives but especially mine. I work as a plumber and recently lost our GSD in June and my wife happened to call you. I wasn't sure I was ready for another GSD as the previous one had health issues. I am so glad we made that call to come up and meet you,the pups. We could tell how well the pups were being raised and were very impressed with the dogs as well. I bring Lexie to work with me every day to the jobsites, parts places and everyone who has met has fallen in love with her. Even when she wasn't supposed to be on a certain job site the "boss" allowed her to because she is so well behaved. She is almost 7 months and I can't imagine not getting her. Thank you for raising such beautiful confident healthy dogs. We loved Lexie so much we just had to get another one from you. We will never get another German Shepherd from another breeder. If we get another GSD down the road it will definitely be from you.

Hi Penny--
I hope all is well and that you are enjoying the beginning
of what looks to be the making of a long and snowy winter
in New England. Lindsay, Mabel and I have really been enjoying
our time on the road; from our long hikes along the Pacific
Crest Trail, to backcountry wilderness excursions to find
remote climbing areas; Mabel has accompanied us on all
of our adventures, and I know you'd be oh so proud of how
much she has grown up, both physically and socially, on
this trip.
As you may know, Mabel is quickly approaching her 2nd birthday (Jan. 30th, to be exact), and in the time that we set out on the road back in June of 2008 to now (December 2008), Mabel has become quite accustomed to the nature of traveling. She is constantly meeting new dog friends, be it at the local dog park, on the trail, or at a friends home. She is very playful, full of positive energy, and has a keen sense of when she is playing too rough, or when another dog friend just doesn't want to play. She has really impressed the humans she's met, as well, with her pleasant and welcoming demeanor. Coupled with those blossoming attributes, Mabel is a fast learner. She understands and obeys every command given, as well as being able to follow hand signals too! Needless to say, Mabel's present intelligence is rather admirable for such a young dog...I can only imagine how much she'll learn come this time next year!
Mabel's strong companionship is at the very foundation of her personality. I've never met such a loyal and faithful dog before. She makes the days I spend alone while Lindsay works enjoyable and colorful, and the days both Lindsay and I have off together a comical and joyful good time. We never have to worry about her wandering off or running away: She knows who her people are, and has an innate understanding and respect of the meaning of family hierarchy and friends.
Sure we've had some challenging times with her, but that comes with the territory and is all part of creating the amazing dynamic both Lindsay and I share with her today. Due to the devotion and love provided by Stronghold German Shepherds, we've been given the gift of a spirit-lifting, smile-producing, soul-calming companion, named Mabel. Thanks!
Christopher and Lindsay Duca |
