More Testimonials from Mittelwest German Shepherds

Julie, 

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments on Kalen.   It really makes me feel good — makes me feel “FANTASTIC” !!!    He is such a pleasure & a joy to have.   Everywhere I take him everyone turns & stares & points.   Cars have actually stopped & when he’s in the car with me people just smile & stare at him.  He sits in the front seat & just looks around as though he’s a person ( he is to me).  And of course, if it wasn’t for you & all your e-mails to me in   searching for the kind of shepherd I wanted & “all” the info you gave me as well as answering all my questions, I would never have him.   Again, thanks so much.   He is my heart & soul & the joy of my life & my very best friend.

Gary

My Asso is the most perfect dog in the world.  He is unbelievable in every way.  From how handsome he is, how silly and fun he can be just being a puppy, to how much joy he brings into my life.  From the first day we brought him home he’s been fearless, inquisitive, loving and intelligent.  He fits into our life perfectly, whether traveling, driving around town running errands, going for walks, or just hanging around our home.

My husband takes his GSD Schutzhund training each week and I take Asso along.  Although he is still too young to do much, he loves to watch.  He gets to run and play as well as chase the rag.  Everyone there (trainers and breeders) always comment on what a great looking puppy he is.  When Asso was 4 months old, a GSD breeder and friend told me I should take him to the US Sieger show this year.  He had no ring experience so I took him to a UKC Multi Dog Show.  I wanted him to have fun and get experience in the ring doing Confirmation.  It was a weekend show and Asso was scheduled to be in the ring twice both days.  He did so well he ended up in the ring at least ten times with much older dogs then him.   He was so much younger than the other dogs and the show was packed.  To my surprise, despite him being the most wonderful and amazing dog that he is, Asso took three first place of males, three first place between best male and female and rosette first place for Best of Winners.  Regardless of how well he did, it was a perfect weekend just having fun and seeing how well behaved he was, both at the show and in the hotel.  Everything I do with him makes me so happy.  I plan on him going through Schutzhund training but the most important thing to me is just how awesome and perfect he is in every way.  He jumps on our bed each night and when I say it’s time for sleepy-nigh-night, he gets down and puts himself to bed in his crate.  Every night I smile as I fall asleep.  Thank you for bringing something so special into my life.

Julie,

Pinch me…I must be dreaming.

This puppy is incredible Julie.  He’s not like anything I’ve ever seen.  Housebroken already without an accident.  We use the crate a little, but the door is never even shut – it’s more for just a place for him to get away from it all for awhile.

He’s fearless in all the social settings I’ve had him in… sociable, stable, no issues with any surfaces or new things, in and out of obstacles (tubes, enclosed places, you name it).  

Awesome with kids, no dog aggression but not submissive with big dogs.  He lies by my bed at night, sleeps through the night, goes to work with me all day…THIS is the temperament of a “Shepherd.”    :-)   It will be a ball to show him.  I am really looking forward to it. Oh, and his coat is SO plush.  Job well done on the breeding.  


Thanks, Andy

Dear Julie-
It’s been a long time since I have written.  I am attaching a picture of Yanna vom Mittelwest – call name Abby.  (Born 8/2/04 from Pia-Stano)This was taken at Abby’s first swimming lesson..she loved it.  Now that she is 11 months old I have started obedience with her with a retired Schutzhund trainer.  Abby has shown great potential for bite work in their two sessions and has already graduated to the sleeve.  I am still deciding which direction to take Abby – search and rescue, protection work, agility etc.

On a personal note.  I adore this dog.  She is remarkably beautiful, intelligent, and loyal.  She seems to connect with me on another level.  I have had dogs and animals all my life and I have never loved one as I love Abby.  At some point I want to add a male to our family and will certainly be contacting you at that time. 

Abby has brought me so much joy, I don’t know how to thank you enough.  I hope you and your family are well.  

Sincerely, Barbara Boyle

Hi Julie,
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with Ariel(VA Ham vd Urbecke/V Viva). She is a beautiful girl with good drive and an amazing personality.  We are making good progress towards our Schutzhund titles, even with a novice handler.  She is doing nicely in the conformation ring as well, with 2 Regional victories.  Ariel is everything that I could want in a GSD… loyal, intelligent and beautiful. 
I also want to thank you for answering all my many questions regarding showing and training.  The support and knowledge you have shared with me are invaluable and have made my first ventures into the GSD World a real pleasure.
Thank you!
Kelly Grim
