Here is a photo of Lolli-Pup taken yesterday.  We were having snuggle time.  She loves to rest her head on my lap and be petted regularly.  She has striking eyes don't you think?  All is well and she is a very good girl. Another two years down the road I will be looking for another pup.  Have a wonderful summer!

Home of SG2-Kaykohl's Qwake von Falcon CGC, & Racie von Kaykohl Land, CGC
The "kids" are getting along better.  It is quite obvious that Qwake LOVES her.  He has gotten where he is regularly smacking her in the face with a toy trying to get her to take the other end of it to play with him.   I'm not sure it's to play tug as much as it's to drag her around with it.  He is bigger and stronger than she is and wants her to know it.  (Just another way to proclaim his dominance over her)  It is so much fun to watch them playing together.   Qwake is so handsome and masculine and Racie has such feminine little features.   His ears and paws are much bigger than hers are.  She is such a sweetie.   She just melts into you when you pick her up.  She isn't as mouthy as Qwake.   It's nice to get such sweet little girl kisses instead of little monster boy nibbles!  We aren't having to fend off such "mouthiness" on us since Racie got here.  Poor Racie, though!  She constantly has some kind of dog slobber on her somewhere.  Qwake has to be near her all of the time whether she likes it or not.   Sometimes she likes it and sometimes she doesn't which is what determines if they are playing or snarling.  I hope you like the pictures!

Home of VP2-Iso, Imported from Europe
Dr. George Rudowski (Gryph's vet) asked me to tell you that not only does he think you are breeding/importing beautiful, sound dogs, but that you are also "doing everything right in terms of temperament selection".
Farrah, It is very likely that Gryphon saved me from serious injury if not actually saved my life early this morning.  I had shampooed the carpet and it was still damp in spots so I gated Gryphon into the kitchen when I went to bed. He respects the gates and does not try to jump them.  I woke up about 3:30 with Gryphon hitting the bed roaring and snarling and lunging at the window. I heard a loud scraping and thump in the walkway between my house and my neighbor's house. I threw the window open and saw someone running through my neighbor's yard.  I called 911 and they sent a car out with a patrolman and a detective. They found a small folding stepladder, a bolt cutters, and a glass cutter in the dirt under my window along with a partial foot print. They called for an evidence technician who was able to get several good prints from the window frame and the tools.  The prints match those of a man with a long rap sheet for home invasions. He was involved in 2 in my neighborhood, one of which left an elderly woman beaten nearly to death. I truly believe Gryphon saved me early this morning.  What was interesting is that as distraught as Gryphon was, he was polite with the two police officers who came in to do a report. They are pretty sure they will pick this scumbag up within the next few days. They assure me that he is very unlikely to come back "with that dog here".  Gryph seems to be OK other than being very clingy and running the fence lines when outside. He really does not want me out of direct sight. The person ran down the pathway in my neighbor's yard which runs right along my fence line. Gryphon keeps bristling up and running down that fence line. It is very obvious that he can still smell something there.  I don't believe in dogs in my bed. Gryphon spent the rest of this AM in my bed waking and growling at the slightest sound.  I'm quite glad that he was "disobedient" and jumped the kitchen gate. He had a sirloin end leg of lamb for his dinner tonight and is currently literally sleeping on my feet.  He's a helluva dog, and he's still just a baby. I'm hoping I can get him reassured in the next few weeks. The incident seems to have taken a lot of the "happy-go-lucky" out of him.  Again, thank you so much,

I just wanted to let you know that Liberty is doing wonderful.  The kids liked her name and didn't want to change it.  I call her Libbie though.  Liberty makes us laugh all the time.  She gets along perfect with our other dog, Baby.  Baby thinks she is Liberty's mommy and they snuggle together.  Libbie is doing fantastic with her crate training and doesn't even cry at night.  She in fact welcomes going into it at bedtime.  She seems to have adjusted to her new home just fine and alert, spunky and curious.  She also appears to be a quick learner.  I will be sending photo's soon,  Thanks again,

Hi Farrah!  Just dropping a note to update you on Zoni and Izack.  They are both "mommy's babies" and doing great.  They are best of friends (with an occasional "dispute"), and are my best friends too.  As you know, I have had Labs for years (and currently own two), and love the breed.  However, Zoni and Izack have taught me to absolutely LOVE the German Shepherd!!  I have learned to adapt to the differences in the two breed's characteristics and really love the versatility of the GSD....  they love to be hugged, cuddled, kissed, and give kisses, and yet, they are loyal, intelligent, protective, and willing to do anything to please me.  I hope you received and enjoyed the photos of them I had sent a while back....  I'll be sure to send updated pictures on a regular basis :)  I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving and have a very blessed Christmas!  Take care and MERRY CHRISTMAS from our family to yours!

I was told by the instructor that he does extremely well. Nice of her to tell me but I new he was doing well! I just love him and he is growing like a weed. People make nice comments about him all the time. He went into a coffee shop last week with my friend and her adult Shepherd. He was a perfect little gentleman even though I would not allow him to have a cappuccino. I shall send you a picture or two hopefully next week.

Yepa von Kaykohl Land
We have re-named Yeppa, Lehren.  It means "to teach" in German.  She's a great dog, full of spirit and energy.   Her herding instincts are limited to the squirrels, butterflies and leaves that blow by, but these seem to keep her amused well enough.  She is especially enjoying the cooler weather...I believe she is reminiscing. The boys love her and they keep each other busy much of the time.  I have attached our family picture that was in our Christmas card this year.  I often comment how much she looks like her mother.   I think you'll agree.   Glad to hear her siblings are doing well.  If we ever get so far north we should plan a reunion.  Thank you for breeding such a wonderful animal.

Home of Belle von Kaykohl Land

Belle is doing great! She is settling down nicely, the puppy demons don't possess her quite so often. The snow today was great fun, of course. She ran and dragged her nose in it most of the day.  This is not to say her puppy days are over, clearly we have a ways to go yet, but all in all, she is doing great. The girls love her dearly and she gets loved about 6 - 10 times each day. Joe is suspicious that Belle is the worst puppy that ever lived :) (he doesn't remember his dog of 10 years, acting like this when she was a puppy) and I think she is wonderful. She respects the horses and has stayed out of trouble with them, since her incident with Smokey back in the Spring. She herds the chickens, periodically. If they wander too far from their pen, she rounds everybody up a gets them back to where chickens belong. She likes an orderly yard. She loves playing ball and fetch, although she isn't keen on dropping anything for you. I am sure that will come. All in all, I'd say we are doing well.

Home of Chaos von Kaykohl Land
Here is a recent picture of "Griz", he is doing wonderfully.   At his last vet appt, the vet proclaimed him in excellent weight and condition with the heart of an athlete. He was 112 pounds.  I don't know how he got that big.I actually can't see it, but the "OMG he is huge" comments lead me to believe my eyes are deceiving me. This summer he has helped me train for 2 Sprint triathlons and 1 half marathon and a measly 5K.   We are famous on the base for being " that woman that runs with the huge German shepherd and jogging stroller". We are getting ready to move to CA with a stop over in AZ, he may be living with grandma and grandpa for a while.  We are hoping that the desert agrees with his allergies.  My best guess is he is allergic to pine, when ever the pine needles shed or the pine pollen is high, he is a mess. Pictured below he is chilling after a nice round of catch the Frisbee.  He has a delightful temperament and wonderful manners.  He walks my son to school everyday and the kids all run up to pet him.  People always say "good thing he is such a nice dog!".  Griz is always a little worried that he can not follow Dakota into school and looks back at the school every few steps, until we round the corner for home.

Your boy is doing fine - now 40 lbs at 17 weeks, ears up and socialization going very well. We have walked him for miles over the past month, on new trails around Mt Tampalpais, and he has had a chance to meet many people and dogs. He is sometimes aloof with strangers but no longer apprehensive around them and regards any dog as a potential playmate. He seems to have an effortless gait and we have to remember not to walk so far at times because he shows no sign of tiring or lagging no matter what we do. He has been on the boat, to the beach, and all over town.

Lexie's visit went very well - not that I expected anything different.  A couple of the techs were GSD fans and thought everything about her was "very nice".  Even the vet commented on her table sweeper of a tail.  They were surprised at how calm and friendly she was the whole time she was there.  I told them she came from a great breeder.

On a humorous note, she's taken to diving (nose and both front paws) into her water bowl.   Needless to say,  it's similar to a cannonball depth charge.  Scott thought the bowl must be too big, so he replaced it with a smaller one which she promptly took a drink from and then picked up and carried all around the kitchen.  I just love mopping...
We'll keep you updated on how she's doing.

Hi Farrah, Here is "Untz's" most recent photo.  He's been such a big part of my life. A lot of people say that the German Shepherds tend to suffer from separation anxiety. You know what, I'm the one suffering, not him! LOL I love his thoughtful eyes, his big satelite dish ears, his big head and muzzle that I always kiss and his so German Shepherd personality.... I just love every inch of him. I miss him even when I'm away from him just for 3 minutes. Is that bad or what? LOL People should change to say, German Shepherd owners tend to suffer from separation anxiety. Don't you think?  I'll send some more photos.

She had always gotten along with our other cats, but I kept introducing them slowly with each other. About 2 weeks later they are now best friends. The kitten sleeps with her every night, and they play nonstop whenever they are together. Just moments ago, the two of them were playing tug-of-war with Jessica's rope. She is the greatest dog.

Home of "Solo" (Retired from our Program)
Farrah, You should be very proud of your boy.  I was down town Detroit to drop off a form at my uncles house.  Well being as stupid as I am it was after dark and there was not a parking spot near my uncles house.  So being as stupid as anyone could possibly be I left Solo in the car (my uncle is petrified of dogs) after parking in the alley down the block.  Well no sooner did I get out of the car and take a few steps I was approached by a drunk black man.  I started back for my car and Solo.  But I only got a few steps before he grabbed my arm.  I yelled for Solo and somehow he squeezed out of the window. (I always leave it partially open for him) The man immediate let me go as Solo came barreling at him with every tooth hanging out of his mouth.  Well lets just say he found out what a good deep grip Solo has. I grabbed my cell phone and called the police and Mr. Solo kept him in one place until they got there.  The police were very impressed with him.  Once I got him to out Solo was friendly to everyone around just as if it didn't happen.  I was treated for a few minor cuts.  But the drunk ended up with about 25 stitches on his leg and arm.  If I hadn't had Solo with me God only knows what would have happened.  As for Solo he was just in need of a good bath.  The drunk was identified in a line up by another woman as the man who had raped her.  Solo truly is my hero.  He seems to think that I am helpless now though he always seems to be very worried about me. I didn't know he could stick any closer to me than he already did but he does. He seems to always be on guard and gets very nervous if we go out at night.  I have been told that that's normal and that he will relax as time goes by.  Well I better let you go.  I just thought I should let you know.  Again you raised a truly spectacular dog.

Hi Farrah, I wanted let you know Ember received her Canine Good Citizen yesterday.  We didn't practice for it at all, I heard of someone offering the test and away we went.  She is so attentive to me and has great eye contact.  I think we are going to pursue some obedience titles with her.   Our club is a conformation club, but there is another training club not too far from us.  I believe I could train her myself, but its always more fun working with others.  Of course they will be A.K.C style titles, CD and hopefully on to a CDX.   I have mostly entered our dogs in the conformation ring.  Now I will have to enter the ring myself.  At least I will save money on handler fees!

Hi Farrah:  Just wanted you to know Hogan is finishing "doggie school" this week. He is doing great!  He has had three solid weeks of training and does: Sit, wait, down, stay, leave it, right here, quiet, go to your rug etc. He works around distractions well, and walks right next to us with a leash and without. Last Saturday I walked him to our local coffee shop (where dogs are allowed inside) and a couple of the local police officers were in there. They absolutely fell in love with Hogan (both have K-9) experience and they loved how well behaved Hogan was. He does a few funny things around here like opening his own doors, but the latest that cracked me up, was his ability to get his own ice cubes. He loves ice cubes, so I guess he figured out how to get them himself from the refrigerator door. One night right in front of me he walked over jumped up and batted at the lever until a couple of cubes fell out. He took them casually over to the rug and started eating them. Jen and I could not stop laughing.  Hogan still gets to go to the lake every Saturday and has a group play date with his buddies. He seems to like the water a lot. He won't swim in it, but he like hopping around in it and barking at the ducks and geese. Hope all is well there! Talk to you soon.

Hi Farrah, (Yoker) aka Grizz is doing well.  He is exactly what we wanted.  He truly is the best looking German Shepard that I ever seen. When Grizz was a puppy, he was so darn cute with his big paws, fluffy hair and droopy ears. Kevin was a little worried. He kept saying "What is this goofy puppy going to look like? What did Farrah send us?"  Whenever we take him out for a walk somebody always asks about him and says what a good looking dog he is. His vet loves Grizz's personality and disposition. Even though Grizz is now very big and strong he is still all puppy inside. He loves to chew. His bones are kept  in a kitchen cabinet which he knows how to open and get a bone out when he wants one.  He also likes to chew on matchbox cars and plastic army men which my kids are not that happy about. But, it gets them to pick up there toys. The kids love taking a walk and playing catch with him.  We have taken Grizz for some training he caught on quickly. This spring we will take him for more intermediate classes.

Thought you might like to see some new pictures of Kaos.  He went to the vet last week and he weighs 32 pounds. The receptionists and techs wanted to make him Shore Vet's mascot. One asks me to make Kaos appointment when she is working, so she can see him. They told me not to take him to puppy classes, or shopping at pet smart until he has had all his booster shots.  He loves to go for walks and goes nuts as soon as he hears his leash being picked up. He walks good for his age. Knows how to sit, go make pee, give me the ball, anything about wanting a treat or to eat. He knows to come here, but he doesn't know stay at all. Best of all he knows how to get into all kinds of puppy trouble. Like jumping into the shower when I am in it or splashing water from his bowl onto the kitchen floor, then running and sliding in it. Digging for rocks or grabbing anything that isn't a toy of his.  Kaos rids his back yard kingdom of the evil squirrel's. He battles the vacuum monster and leaf blower dragon. Thanks again for trusting me with one of your baby's.

Hi, Farrah. I just wanted to let you know that Utah (Mia) is doing wonderful! She is hilarious! She is always running and bouncing around, getting into things, and trying to chew on anything and everything she can. We have given her several toys to dive into, but she always seems to find something else. When anyone tries to pet her, of course she thinks you want to play and grabs at your hand! She chases the cats around and thinks our little kitten is a chew toy that moves! Mia has grown quite a bit since we received her.  She is starting to get that spindly, leg look.  I say she is starting to look like a cross between a Giraffe and a kangaroo! She is so much fun. I am really looking forward to what the future holds for her.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Last week Isky was lazy, not eating, and laying around the house.  Jessie thought she was sick.  I had been busy at work more than usual.  I told Jessie that the dog had missed me and it was nothing to worry about.  She called the vet and made an appointment to have her looked over.  The vet said she was in perfect health.  The vet confirmed that Isky had missed me and was depressed.  Jessie and the vet had a good laugh about it.  Since I take her running and spent the most time with her Jessie now understands.  I must admit Isky is a loving, mild temperament, and wonderful dog.  Thanks again for letting us have her.

Just thought that I would drop you a line and let you know that Ginga is doing well. She gets along with Jenna just fine now, in fact they love to play together. She seems to be settling in quickly and gets really excited when she see's me coming to the kennel. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that she's doing well, and her vet is almost 100% certain that she is pregnant (as am I). Talk to you later.

Home of Regional VP1-Justice von Kaykohl Land
Justice has settled in well.  She is such a good dog, especially for her young age.  She's already learned to sit - - and her heeling is coming along well.  She is near perfectly housebroken, and has only had one accident in the house - - which was when I was in the shower, and hadn't crated her to do so.  She still seems lost without me in plain view.  Justice is absolutely magnificent with Sydney.  Her play might be a little rough, but Sydney tolerates it, and they have great playtimes together.  Sydney can lie down on her, grab her foot and poke her forehead, and Justice understands it's all innocent.  Syd even tried to look down Justice's throat, and Justice had no problems just nudging away Syd's prying hands.  With Sydney, Justice is EXACTLY what I was looking for.  She is as good with "children" as you said she would be.

Hi Farrah, I am sending you 3 pics that I took of Cody doing some bite work.  They are not professional (obviously)  I could not get the super pic of him getting the sleeve ( wouldn't you just know)  I got him in the air and I got his hold and bark but I just could not click fast enough and then wouldn't you just know that I ran out of juice on my battery so I could not take anymore  but you at least have a smattering of  pics to see. I'll send more as soon as I can. You should be super proud of him! His trainer is a working dog trainer and even though Cody is a "show" dog he is very impressed with all phases of his training.  He is doing great in his tracking and his obedience and he really moves out when he gates. They think he will go to his first trial in 3 months or so. He is home now on vacation. (He hasn't changed at all he is still my Cody Bear) They want to take him to an SV show soon???
I will let you know.

Hi Farrah, sorry it's taken me so long to write.   Lefty (Shayne) is the most absolutely fabulous dog in the world!  I cannot thank you enough.  We started obedience school on Sunday and he did great.  He acted like he knew everything, he does know everything, it is amazing!  He is housebroken, comes to my bed every morning and licks me till I drag my butt out of bed.   Plays wonderful with the kids and our little yorkie.  He is my constant companion, never leaves my side - even if we walk down to the mailbox out front, where there is no fence (unleashed).  Unbelievable!  and so much more than I had hoped.  Thanks again, and I'll send photos soon!  Lisa

Home of Bruno von Kaykohl Land

 Bruno is doing great--like you said he is truly an athlete--we have started jogging together every day (usually I have always let him do the running by throwing the ball or other games) and he is never worn out. We moved into a new place and after long negotiations I finally talked my fiance Janey into letting him stay full time inside the house. We used to have a problem with him chewing up everything in sight--but he has started to get over that, and it probably helps that he gets a bone every day. I have found that I am not the best picture taker, but I think I took some pretty good ones last week and I will send them to you in the mail as soon as they are developed. I also wanted to thank you for being there to answer my questions all the time when I call. We have a great walking trail right next to where we moved to, and Bruno loves to go down there and spend hours exploring. He also gets a lot of attention from our new kitten, who is fearless & loves to sneak attack. And of course the people at our vets office say Bruno is their favorite dog. We go there all the time it seems like & there is a girl dog who goes there every day with one of the workers & I think he has a crush on her... but anyways I wanted to let you know how good we are doing & thank you again for everything.

Thank You so so much for using Pepsi's picture on Your web page.  I am very proud of Her.   She recently won 1st place in a local kennel club puppy obedience class. She terrorizes all the other dogs but she knows her sit, down, stay, heel, and leave it better than all others by a long shot. She is a loving pet at home and gets along with my two cats fine.  She is very affectionate with me never leaves my side. She is very high energy and doesn't get to see many people despite my best efforts. She and Moser are the best of friends but that is where she learned to play rough with other dogs . I have enrolled her in the next obedience class which begins on Oct 14. I will continue to socialize her and continue with her training for as far as she wants to go . Hope to hear from you soon and will send you more photos. She Is Beautiful!

Hello Farrah, We Bought Gunner (Hoosier) from you November of 2001. The son of Orbit and Ivett. Just wanted to write and let you know how he's doing. He did turn out to be a long hair after all. He is absolutely beautiful! We have gotten him into training. He just needs something to do besides keeping the turkeys off the property! Although he does do that very well! ha ha He's very protective and smart. He certainly keeps the teenage boyfriends of our daughters on their toes! He just parks himself between the girls and their boyfriends and just looks at the boys They don't dare make any moves on his girls! ha ha . I have been watching your site off and on, and Holley, Gunner's sister certainly is impressive! What a wonderful dog!

 
Well, I will let you go. Good luck on your move, and thank you for our "Handsome Boy". We couldn't be happier (except maybe if there were two of him!).

Hi Farrah, We are in a new series of puppy classes   "advanced home companion" it is an 8 week series ending with the test that will get him his 1st certificate from AKC. After that he can start with the Spokane Dog Training clubs agility classes. They do have herding and tracking, but I need to look into it more. He loves to play search and rescue with my kids on the property.... Ryan hides and then yells once and (Hans can barely be contained ) he loves to do this over and over. Hans will run across 20 acres if he knows Ryan has gone to the trees to hide.   Well, thats all for now I'll have some more pics to send soon.

Ranger (Zant) is almost 1 1/2 years old.  We love him so much!  He's a terrific dog, sweet, loving, intelligent. I guess about any dog can become a good companion but I'm amazed at how you pegged his temperament right on because he is an exceptional companion.  Ranger loves the water even more this summer than he did last summer.  Ball chasing is one of his favorite activities on land and in water, but he loves the water so much sometimes he just swims for pleasure.  And, he doesn't mind baths anymore; he leaps into the tub without any coaching and sits there while I wash him.  Hope you're having a great summer!

Chivas went swimming all on his own today, much to my surprise. We have a big lake next door and he and I have camped out there under an umbrella on my days off. He usually runs in the shallow water to drink and to cool down, but today he jumped after a stick that was floating and had to swim back, after that he made many trips out, he had me worried because he would stick his whole head under to pick something up from the bottom, but he was wagging his tail and running around like crazy in-between "dives". Several people stopped to watch him, and everybody said they had never seen a puppy so comfortable in the water before, I was a very proud mom :)  Thanks again for him, I'll keep the updates coming.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Yankee (Gandalf ) arrived on time and without a hitch. We took him out of the crate right there and then to meet him and let him stretch a little. In the first minute he attracted no less than 20 people half were ticket agents who couldn’t resist. He just looked around at all the smiling faces and yawned a couple of times, he had no problems with the trip at all.  He is adjusting very well at home and has already built his own little home under our Coffee table where he has taken over my bath robe and is using it as a mattress, then he strategically placed pillows around the perimeter and loves to pop out and follow us around. His structure and temperament are amazing and we couldn’t be happier with him.   At first our 2 yr old Golden (Shadow) didn’t know what to make of this little creature, who came out of nowhere and started chasing him around and stealing his chew toys, I’m sure he was wondering how does this thing shut off !!!!, however, they quickly became good friends and are very comfortable with each other.  I have taken some photos and will forward then to you soon.  Thanks again Farrah for this awesome puppy, the kids and I are having a ball. Take good care and I’ll talk to you soon.

I have had to leave her a couple times at our Vet's with our Golden for boarding, since we have had some travel to do recently, She weathers that OK. But in a couple weeks we will take her to the Oregon Coast. She weighs about 50 pounds, and is in a holding pattern now for growth, but she will have another spurt soon. Her tail drags the floor, just like when we first brought our Heidi girl home 9 years ago. We love her so much, she is really energetic, and our animal control officer who teaches the Obedience classes loves her greatly. She comes in and works with her when we must leave her at the doctor's office. Long and Short, I am going to have to send you Pictures. Thank you, Ken

Lola is fearless and relentless.  We have been taking the Lab to other rooms so Lola gets one-on-one time as well.  She has bonded very strongly to me already. Everybody is taking turns "supervising" her, but my wife said that it's clear she's decided that I am her person.  We had my Mom to dinner last nite and when I left for a few minutes to drive my Mom home, my wife said Lola waited by the door I left through and cried.    When she sees me, she wags her tail vigorously and immediately comes to me for petting and affection.  She is quite good about being handled in any way and it has been easy to pill her.  She is doing better in the crate, especially when we put her to bed for the nite.  She's just a wonderful little girl-- everything I was hoping for.  Thanks for your kind offer to provide advice and answer questions as may be necessary. I'll be touch with regular updates.  Take care.

He says she is more than ready.   I am attaching a photo that was taken on her 1st birthday, July 3rd. We were camping on a friends 150 acre parcel of land. She is lying in a bed of clover.

"Arwen" is settling in well.  We are working on teaching her to respond to her name. Leash training is going well. Short walks to the mail box followed by wild, ball tossing romps in the backyard.  She does not pull; instead she stays at an almost perfect heal. Sit and down are almost there.  She does not play bite often and responds well to correction when it does happen.  She grips the tug-o-war rope with tenacity.  Her bark drowns out the lawnmower.  She has slayed the broom monster.  Her curiosity takes her into, around, and under almost everything; but she does not let us get out of sight as we walk around the yard.  While guiding her around to the back yard, she slipped past the gate and led me on a chase around the neighbor's house; stopping at the corners to look back to see if was following.  Arwen is a delightful handful.  The smoke alarm went off this evening while dinner was cooking.  Arwen perked her ears initially, but otherwise remained quite unfazed by the shrieking.  She never got up from lounging position on the sofa.  I'm impressed.  The same noise always put Gandalf into a state.  I am anxious to send photos, but just found that my digital camera has again failed.  I'll get something worked out soon though.  We are eager to have some puppy photos.  She's a wonderful creature, thank you so much.

I wanted to send you some pictures of Tasha on her Graduation Night January 17th, 2005.  Tasha had so much fun in Puppy Kindergarten.  We  played some games like tic tac dog, & musical square graduation night.  We were to teach our dogs an original trick for the graduation night.   I taught Tasha to do hand signal commands like sit, down, stand and come. She is also a natural at high 5 and low 5 and shake, like many German shepherds are.   She did so good for all the distractions in class. I was so proud of her. I wish you could have been here to see her graduate.   She did the hand signals but was to tired to do the high/low 5 or shake so I let her go lay down for a while until she got called for her certificate. She played really hard with the other puppies and got tuckered out .In kindergarten we do not keep them on a leash very long then let them play together.  Everyone was just so amazed when she did her hand signal and I did not even say a word to her. The teacher said she could tell we really worked hard. Tasha would not let me get away with being lazy and not do her hand signals...LOL I have to laugh because Tasha will come to me and do this little quiet special whine and I know what she wants. She wants her time learning and getting her treats for doing a wonderful job. She likes this good girl thing....LOL She thinks it is the best game we have played yet. I had to mix up the order of what I had her do shortly before graduation because she would do it before I even had a chance to give the signal. She knew the routine. She is just so intelligent.   The teacher said Tasha is going to be a wonderful dog .     I want to enjoy her as a puppy as long as I can because she will grow up way to fast.  When we got home from graduation she went straight to the cat bed curled up and went to sleep. Even the camera flash did not wake her up. She was just so tuckered. I just love to watch her sleep, she is just so precious. Tasha does have her own bed but prefers the one that cradles her over the bed that is flat with no sides.  Tasha is just our little delight and as you can see my baby and very precious to our family.   Our next planned class will be Basic Manners.  She still chases the cats in the house...LOL  Boy, will the cats be happy when she learns her manners. LOL  You take care and I will keep you updated on Tasha.

Miss Halle won her class on Sunday, she was the only one in her age group.  She went reserve under to my friends very nice young bitch from Kent Boyles, placing over another nice bred American bred dog so we were happy with that.  I am thinking of entering her in a AKC show in Minnesota next month for exposure, otherwise her next match will be in March.  She has lost all her puppy coat and so far her coat isn't coming in real nice and thick, rather on the flat side though it did fluff up nice for the match yesterday.  My friend took some pictures and if they turn out nice will email them to us and I can forward some on to you We need to work on our standing while being stacked however I think she did great for her first time out.

Dear Farrah, We hope you had a nice day today. This snow really is coming down . I understand we are supposed to get at least 6 more inches. The only thing I like about the snow is that you can see if Gretchen went potty or not. Lots of Laughs!!!!!!  Thank you very much for being there for us. We really love Gretchen and are so proud of her. She has won our heart. We really respect you and the reason we call you is because we know that you are very well experienced with German Shepherds. We appreciate you and your patience with us.   If we should ever get another puppy we would like to get it from you. We will tell anyone that wants a German Shepherd to come to you . We personally think that German Shepherds are the best dogs to have. They are extremely smart and very loyal.

Rufus is doing just fine - he is growing like a weed.  I haven't taken any for a month or two, so he is bigger now - I need to get some new photos.  He is currently in his "adolescent" stage - he gets shoes, clothes, etc and chews on them or just puts them in his bed.  He is, however, one of the easiest puppies we have had - he was housebroken at about 4-5 months.  He is energetic, athletic, and intelligent, and is very responsive - just a hard look or word and he hears it.  He has an appointment next week (near his 6 month birthday) to see Greg Markellis for his "operation."  His sister, Stella, and he are inseparable.  He is learning to walk in the neighborhood on a lead and meet the other dogs, and doing well with early puppy obedience - sitting, staying and just getting the lying down thing.  We are looking forward to seeing Rufus mature and grow (and also to his growing out of adolescence).  Hope all is well at the German Shepherd ranch!

Hi Farrah, Last week I did as you suggested and I worked in the yard with her attached to the leash and myself.  I could not believe the about face in her attitude and it only took one day.  We are truly friends now.  She is a smart dog and very loyal.  She is also getting used to my husband and my granddaughter who is here this week.  Thanks so much for your advice.

Hi Farrah, Just a quick update on Jury.  He has quickly adapted to his new home and checks out every square inch of it daily!  What a bundle of energy he is.  Jury is getting three play sessions a day M-F; morning, noon, and night.  He loves to retrieve his tennis ball.  In fact, the very first time I threw it (an hour after his plane ride) he brought right back to me.  Needless to say I was a pretty proud doggy dad.  Potty training is going well and when we do have an accident, Jury has been good about picking hard surface flooring.  We are looking forward to our first weekend with Jury.  Thanks again and have a great weekend.

Home of Moose von Kaykohl Land
We just got back from the 4th of July parade and wanted to send you an update!  We took Moose with us to make sure he got exposed to lots of noise and people.  We shouldn't have worried that something there might cause his head to turn.  He was incredible!   As usual, you have bred an amazing dog. He is fearless, outgoing, and sound, in both temperament and in structure.  My son and I walked him up and down the street before the parade where the floats and parade entries were lining up, and Moose was rushed at by countless kids along the sidewalks, visited by other dogs, and commented on by adults.  Everybody fell in love with him, and never once did he forget his manners.  Not once did he jump up on or mouth any of the tiny toddlers that approached him, and he was Mr. Gentleman.  Amazing for a pup of 4 months!  We walked right past a fire truck testing its blaring siren, past a high school marching band warming up (noise chaos! :)), and past dozens of horses and rushing go-carts.  Never once did he flinch or look wary in any way.  He is as sound and as unshakeable as they come.  Once again, your breeding practices and fabulous pedigree lines have shown us what having a sound, safe, and loving family German Shepherd companion is all about.  Thank you so much for him!  As soon as we got home, we took several pictures of him stacked, and one of him sitting.  (Yes, he's even mastered his sit-stay!  At 4 months!  He's demonstrating it here.  What a fast and willing learner he is!)  I hope one of these stacking pictures works.  It seems there is always at least *one* thing off in them--lighting, ears, stance, or something!  Sorry about that.  I hope one will work, though!  Thank you again for breeding such flawless temperaments in your dogs.  I am truly amazed at the job you do.

Home of VP2-Molly von Kaykohl Land
Molly is a great southern California girl as you can see in this pic.  She loves water and spent one afternoon chasing waves recently.  I've had her in agility classes for most of the last six months and she is really good!!  Funny though, while she is good with our cats at home, when she sees the cats that hang out around the agility field she gets very excited, starts barking and lunging, and I have to really work to get her attention back on the obstacles, but once doing the course she remembers her job!!!  I take her to the barn with me a few times each month and she is great on the trail.  She still gets nervous when I'm grooming the horses and sometimes barks at them -  I don't know if she thinks she is protecting me or simply just doesn't trust an animal of that size, but she usually only barks when I am working on the horse, not when they are standing on their own.  She is always quite insistent that she should go with me everywhere.  The other day she decided she was going with me, forced her way out the door with me, and absolutely dug in her feet when I tried to drag her back to the yard - I was just going for coffee so I let her come with me, but she is funny about that.  It is not like she would be alone atg home as we have two other dogs who she loves, but she definitely thinks she is the one who should be my constant companion!!!
Are all of your dogs such avid kissers?  We fondly refer to her kissing attacks as "tongue violations" as she starts kissing and doesn't stop until there is a good half inch of saliva on very square millimeter of your face - all the time wagging her tail at high velocity!!!  We love her and will definitely come back to you when we are ready for our next shepherd!!

Dear Farrah, she arrived late but in one piece. I was anxious that she would not potty for us until the next morning after breakfast, and then she went on our chosen spot with no problem. What a relief! (no pun intended).  We have had lots of snow, too, which we think she brought with her. I guess she missed Montana. :) We have named her Kula Montana. It is a coincidence or a sign of fate that I chose the name Kula, similar to Ulla. She knows her name and comes and follows very well.  We are in love with her. She is so alert, happy and adventurous.  Very much aware she has teeth but getting used to our leash lessons and seeing how much of our property she can explore each outing. She loves going to the cats' toy box to choose her new favorite toy. They are all out on the floor at this writing.  Thank you for her. The timing was perfect. We are so glad she is a part of our family.

Hello Farrah, Sammy (Libra Von Kaykohl Land) is doing really great! We have been attending regular classes in obedience and personal protection since the first of Sept. and Sammy is catching on faster than I am. She is fun to work with and she and I are great friends. She was a bit sluggish yesterday and I am pretty sure she is going into heat as I found a small bit of blood on the carpet this morning.  I am attaching a few photo's. One is of the dog "mansion" I built for her.  It has heat, insulated windows, skylight, electricity, exhaust fan, is fully insulated, hardwood floor, brick tile for 3' to help keep it clean and textured walls and ceiling the rest of the way up, a man door and doggie door so she can come and go as she pleases. On the outside is her own deck and porch light. I have actually had people wanting to rent the house!!!  The second picture is of Sammy in her house.  Have a great Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Farrah,  I hope you are doing o.k. and not missing Flury to much.  What a doll she is.  She fits into the family perfectly and loves all the kids, as well as vice-versa.  From the moment  I picked her up from the airport everyone was in love.  She is eager to please and poses such a radiant look to her.  We couldn’t be more pleased.      Although Logo and Palme were not from your own breeding program your expertise  in helping me find them was right on.  They are extremely loyal, full of life and great protectors of their home.  Every night they make their rounds checking on the kids, from bedroom to bedroom then to the living room floor, it is fantastic.  Clearly, you have superb knowledge with german shepherds.  I could never thank you enough for your kindness and all your help.  Also,  your honesty and genuine concern to help was above and beyond what anyone has to do.   Today, you don’t find a lot of people willing to take their time and help someone else, yet you did without a blink of any eye.  I could  never repay you for all the happiness you have helped create and bring into our home.  Our home would not be the same without all of our wonderful additions, thanks to you!!  I will keep you posted on how everyone is and new pictures…..  Many Thanks.

PS Chase loves her too!

personality. She went through training in January and finished at the top of her class. The trainer said she had never seen such a smart dog. She picked
up all her "tricks" on the first or second try. She loves to "high 5" for a treat to the amusement of all the kids in our neighborhood. She even has a
friend next door name Smokey who is a 8 month old German Shepherd. They LOVE to play. It is so funny watching them play hide-n-seek when they are not
really hiding. We had a birthday party for her on June 15th, her first birthday. We invited all her friends, Luther (Springer spaniel), Dino
(chow/lab mix) Smokey and of course all the neighborhood kids. We had doggie birthday cake that my daughter helped me make. She loved it! Thanks so much
for this precious girl. Our lives would not be the same without her.

Like I promised, Some pics of Izzo. He is doing excellent. Izzo is very intelligent, he was potty trained the first week (except for a few occasional accidents that still happen). I started him with "sit" before I served him his food, of which he picked up on right away, then moved him onto "sit, stay", then "fetch", again it took only a few sessions and he had it. His demeanor is calm yet he is extremely alert and not afraid of anything.  We took him camping a few weeks ago, and the nature environment is where he is happiest, he would lay in the dirt with his head up high, and just watch the squirrels, birds, deer, and bugs. I took him to the lake to teach him to swim, thinking he would need some coaching or time to figure it out, but he walked out into the water and when it got too deep he swam, no learning curve he just started paddling.  April and I could not be happier with Izzo, although at times I still miss having the intensity and the strong traits of our female, Izzo has his own different trademarks that April and I really like about him.  Thanks again for the great puppy, and we'll send some more pics as he grows.

Dear Farrah - I will get some pictures of Jimmi to you, however, wanted to give you an update quickly.  As I sit here typing, he is laying at my feet.  He is doing wonderfully and as you said he is truly a wonderful puppy.  He is so photogenic -- we have taken wonderful pictures.  His kindness is so great (Tom gets constant kisses from him) and all this weekend he has played endlessly with my brother's dog, 2 year old Golden Retriever, Dillan.  They are both napping now, tired from playing.  We have the right chew toys handy.  Today, we are going shopping for a larger crate, like Dillan's - he went right into his to relax.  We are so happy with Jimmi.  He does make it known that Tom and I are "his" - a few barks let Dillan know this. 

We hope that your soccer games were full of fun -- we thought about you all this weekend. 
PS - we think that Jimmi is still getting used to our heat.  We were up over 90 yesterday.  He loves walking on the beach, but we keep those walks short as he is still so young (we read your book front to back).  If he does not want to walk anymore, he lets us know by just siting down.   Thanks, again for all your support.  It truly has been wonderful, working with a professional like yourself.

Farrah:  Loni is doing great!  She is such a great puppy.  She loves her crate now at night.  She's had only 2 accidents , and one was my fault.  She waits for my kids all day in front of the laundry room door.  I don't even want to leave the house, I took her with me this morning for coffee. 
Again thanks for bringing the joy that Loni brings to all of us.
We ABSOLUTELY love her!

Lex (Satchmo) has arrived safe and sound.  Already such a great dog.  
No accidents and goes right on the paper and shaving.  We live in 
city so want to be careful of Parvo.  He is so smart.
Thanks Again.
