“Hello from Ohio!  I just had to send you this note today as I had the pleasure of meeting one of your puppies in person.  She lives in the Cleveland Ohio – Geauga county area and is an 10 week old long haired shepard pup.  I am at a loss for her name however I met her and her owner at the local apple farm here.

What a gorgeous pup she is.  She was there with her owner starting to socialize.  Since I am a dog world person and work the Crown Class Dog shows in Cleveland I was talking to her about the importance of obedience and how rewarding it is to train and compete (even if for fun!)  Being an avid obedience student I tried to emphasize the importance of the right trainer as it can make or break the dog and that obedience can save a dog’s life in situations.  I told her to stay in touch with her breeder and she said there is a good relationship established already.  Kudos to you!  The owner was a very conscience person.

Your dogs are absolutely magnificent and can almost make me jump breeds!  Having always had Newfoundlands and Leonbergers that would definitely be a change!

I was so enchanted with that pup that I almost forgot why I was there and actually took a wrong turn home.  Thank you for a delightful Saturday morning!   Dorrie “
