“Good morning Elizabeth, It was such a pleasure to ,meet you, Michael and all of your wonderful dogs. Thank you for the gift of your time and knowledge. I don’t often meet someone who loves to share in depth “dog talk”. Your adult shepherds are spectacular!  In my dog quest I have more often found there are a couple of good and numerous less impressive dogs in a breeding program. But each of your dogs were excellent examples of the breed, sound and beautiful with good temperament. Wow!!  It was a delight to play with the puppies ….so consistent and yet interesting to watch them display individual characteristics of who they will one day become.  Thank you for your kind hospitality! Can’t wait to hear back from you. Cheers, Nan”
