Hi Folks, Hope all is going well for you. Thought I would send you an update of our girl, Lybee. She weighs 76 # and such a good girl. Smart as a whip. I could tell you some hilarious stories of her antics and cleverness. Still working on training; does many things well, but still resistant to heel with distractions. That is my fault. We are doing better with maturity. She positively follows me with her gorgeous eyes everywhere! Working toward a goal of leash free park for dogs; I’m not quite comfortable yet with off leash. Springfield has beautiful accommodations for small and large off leash pets.
Must run for now. See attachment. regards and god bless, Cheryl Goddard

Hi Jane. Kimber just turned 1 year old and is 97 pounds now , (see picture below) I am trying to register her on the pedigree database and can’t find Micel’s White Golde Girl on it so I can enter Kimber? Is she on the site? Thanks and I hope all is well!

Here is a picture of Duke who was renamed Leimkuehler's K9 King Micah for his dad. We call him Micah. He is such a good looking dog and very smart! Already knows how to open the door and come right on in. We have to lock him out whe we are not around as he doesn't shut the door! :) He rings the bell to go outside! Very happy with him. I'll send a picture of our three dogs together next.

Hi Joe and Jane,

It's been 10 years since I last bought Riddick from you in Princeton, IL. Riddick has been a great addition to our family. We are now considering getting another white shepherd around mid to late 2014. Can you please tell me how much for a white shepherd pup? In addition, when you expect litters for 2014.

Our visit went very well today.  Of course everybody loved the babies.  My appointment was this evening so no one was there which was perfect so just a few people that work there and the doctor himself were handling the pups.  John (my vet) said they were beautiful and they checked out great.  They are 16.5 pounds.  They got their distemper (John told me this was the duramune max 5 shot) and I brought the corona virus vaccine (transported in an ice cup) and I'm praying that they don't get sick from it.  I told him how you instructed me to give them the panacur for the week and he thought that was great.. he said they looked fantastic and they smell great because they got a bath yesterday so needless to say everyone fell in love.

Jane it's Tammy Williams I just wanted to say how pleased we are with our little boy, we have named him Ryker I picked that name out some time ago and it just fits him. He went for his vet check yesterday and all is well so far; today he goes for his obedience assessment so we can start his classes; I just wanted to tell you I have never in my life come across a puppy with such a laid back personality, he is perfect, he is just so different from our other dogs and we can tell that he is definitely special. I will send pictures in a few weeks; he's going to be a beautiful boy. Ps thanks so much we are so happy with our little boy!! Sincerely Tammy and Preston

Hello Joe and Jane. We wanted you to know that Klaus is doing great. We named him on the way home the day we picked him up from you. He did get car sick about an hour after we left but then was ok, the road was windy and even I almost got sick. He is adjusting well. He is playing and is letting us know when he has to potty. Klaus has had a few accidents but nothing major. Klaus is however scared of the cat. The cats were very mad at us in the beginning but are now coming out and taking back their space. I think in a week or two the male cat and Klaus can and will be friends, the cat is starting to go up to Klaus and Klaus just stands there but the cat does chase Klaus and Klaus hides under the bed or in his house or kennel. He is such a good boy and is fitting in very well. We want to thank you very much for he fits in GREAT with our family.

Subject: Kona's first Vet visit here in New Orleans

Dear Ms Jane,
Hello! It's Valeri and Kyle here in New Orleans. We just wanted to let you know how our new girl is doing. She arrived here Friday night about 1215 am. She didnt have any accidents in her crate (wow!), and she was pretty tired from the flight so we didnt really have any problems getting her to sleep. She had no problems eating or anything saturday, and only a few minor bathroom accidents as well as some minimal anxiety. Since saturday she has begun telling us when she needs to go out by whimpering or going downstairs (she learned the stairs her second day) and standing by the back door. We haven't had one accident since then! She sleeps most of the night (besides trips outdoors to potty), but she gets pretty hyper around 630 every morning. We are quickly becoming early birds, and are also trying to adhere to a strict schedule for her, which is working very well. She definitly knows who mom and dad are, too. If one of us is doing the opposite of the other, she will wait for both of us to move in the same direction before she follows.
She went to the Vet yesterday (Monday) and everything about her is perfect. She is extremely comfortable being handled, and wasnt afraid at all. (We have been working hard on socializing her with lots of different people and healthy family pets) She weighs 13 pounds and gets her 3rd set of vaccinations on December 5th. Her ears, paws, teeth, and lymph nodes are great. Everyone of course thinks she is beautiful, and its funny because shes so little no one can tell shes a German Shepherd yet. The Vet gave her her first monthly heartworm pill, which we disguised in some peanut butter and she took today.
Just wanted to email you and tell you how much we love and appreciate her. I cannot wait until she is properly trained and a little bit older, to be my companion and jogging buddy. She is beautiful, absolutely loves all her toys, loves playing, and seems very inquisitive and happy. She makes us laugh with her clumsy and awkward- like movements. Thank you so much for sending her to us. im so jealous because Id really have loved to meet her parents!
We will send some pictures as soon as we can!
Love, Valeri and Kyle

Subject: our new puppy !

Hi Jane and Joe
She is growing leaps and bounds; getting along with her 'siblings' fairly well. Learning her place in the hierarchy!
She thinks Zoe is her mother--which Zoe does not always appreciate! Sleeping almost all nite. She has learned to sit
And take her treat GENTLY! Loves the outdoors and has found her woofalator! I am re-learning contortionist moves I
Haven't done for years. The vet loves her---16#s last visit and probably #18-19# by now. She lets me trim her nails and
Brush her teeth. Amazing for her. She goes into her 'house' and now pulls the door shut behind her. Other than nite time
The only time she goes into her crate is security (doesn't know situation) or 'time-out' for madness episodes!
We love her to pieces!
Best regards and GOD bless you. Cheryl

He enjoys alot of the toys we got him and follows us everywhere indoors and outdoors surely knows who his people are. After 4th set shots he will begin to attend puppy obedience classes for 12 weeks. We absolutely love him cannot speak so much for our cat yet but she is starting to warmup to him. We will keep you updated with photos through weeks/months let you know how he is progressing. Thank you so very much for such a wonderful boy.

Hi Jane and Joe,

We wanted to update you on Micah now that he’s been with us just a little over a week.  He’s such a sweet and lovable boy and he’s happy and playing with his new big sister Zoe all the time.  Well, all the time he isn’t sleeping on our feet!  He’s always close, we can’t leave a room without the patter of little (or rather big!) puppy feet behind us.  He’s been to the vet, she thinks he’s absolutely beautiful.  He checks out at a very healthy 29 lbs (last Wednesday).  He’s very respectful of the cats, just looks and doesn’t chase.  They love him already!!  Next week we’ll begin the basic commands but he’s working hard on potty training now and walking short distances on the leash with Zoe.  We’re definitely having a bad case of puppy love right now!  Thank you so much for our beautiful boy.  I’ve attached some pictures so you can see how he’s doing.  Sorry about the incorrect dates on the pictures, I don’t know how to get them off the camera!!

Hope all is well where you are, we’ve been hearing some pretty awful weather reports out of Missouri and prayed for all of you this weekend.

 

In Christ's Peace,

 Sharon M. Wess

Her eyes would not stop staring at the puppy and the dad and mom~ she was in love! She has called since and they are very happy with their new family member

 

HI Jane, We are naming her Gabby after her grandfather.

 thank you for everything it was a pleasure to meet you and her parents, they are beautiful! We are so happy with her we can not express it enough how much we love her. She slept on the couch last night and she slept on the rug beside me.  Got her a couplne of dog beds but she bounced back and forth from them to the rug.

Dear Jane and Joe,
It is hard to believe that our little girl has grown so much in just 4
short weeks. She has gone from a little white wobbly puff ball to an
active pup who is now looking like a German Shepherd. Shas is a real
sweetheart, so very clever, and a bit of a goofball all in one.  She is
11 weeks old today and getting the idea of ringing the bell when she
wants to go out to potty (I think she would've had that down sooner but
it took me a while to find a suitable bell). It is a joy to watch her
play and interact with the cats, and she does great with our
grandchildren. I am looking forward to puppy classes in about a month,
but she already knows '"sit," "down," "come," and is learning "leave
it."  She is a great addition to our family and I thank you for making
our dream come true with this sweet baby.

Blessings,

Andy Mockridge

Subject: Thank you for the wonderful shepherd
Dear Joe and Jane
I was very unsure about purchasing a dog sight-unseen but your wonderful photos and testimonials on your site convinced me and now I am writing my own tribute to your wonderful shepherds. 
I grew up with black and tans and I can honestly say that my white shepherd, Quinn, exhibits all of the loyalty, trainability and willingness I loved in my dogs before he was even 3 months old. He is as smart as a dog can be, even remembering which street my car was parked on when we went to the beach - obstinately pulling towards one street when I, (the "smart" human owner) thought I had parked it down another.
 
 I am continually complemented by everyone who meets him on his calm temperament and approachability. Not only does my vet and the entire office love him, but the vets I work with also say openly that he exhibits every personality trait you would want in a dog.  He even made quick friends with our cat and they play/sleep together whenever possible. 

Thank you very much for your time, energy and service of breeding incredible dogs and sending them to people like myself. 

Quinn is enjoying the California lifestyle of runs on the beach in the morning, hiking and parks. He is perfectly mannered off the leash and heels naturally so hiking (after we got the final set of shots) has been nothing less than a pleasure. Because of his extraordinary temperament (and my passion for the outdoors/wilderness training) we are going to join a local search and rescue training group as soon as he is old enough. I think he will enjoy being a part-time service dog! 

I can not thank you enough. Attached are some recent photos. One ear is up.. the other one on it's way! 

Best always,

She has learned sit, shake and her favorite game is to fetch.  She walks on a leash very well and loves our evening walks before bedtime.  She is in a chewing stage and loves shoes ( typical girl).....

Jane,
 
Some photos of Ivory.. These are not the most current but as she now weighs near 60 lbs.  Very smart, and is already taking on her protective role over the family.  Nothing goes on in or around the house that she does not pick up on.  Even when I try to sneak up on her or hide from her, she finds me.  We get so many comments on how pretty she is.  Still alot of pup in her, but she is turning the corner on learning she is not the alpha member in the family.  Still tests us, but when you tell her the second time she gives you o you really mean it look. 
Will send more recent photos when we do an update.  O yes she thinks my sons bed should be hers.  Do not let her sleep in it but she is very good at getting him up in the morning.

Hi Joe and Jane, Sorry that it's taken me so long to get back to you!
I can't thank you enough for sending us our wonderful puppy!  We love him so much!  He's so cute and bright and is growing like a weed!  We weighed him when you first sent him to us and he was 12 pounds.  Now he must weigh close to 30 pounds!  Amazing!  He's housebroken and knows how to use the doggy doors to go outside.  He can also go up and down the stairs to the second floor.  He's so sweet and affectionate.  It won't be long before I won't be able to hold him in my lap anymore!
We've had nothing but snow this past week.  It's snowing right now!  The puppy loves the snow!  He loves going into the back yard to chase the ravens! 
We've decided to name him Sheriff since he's always looking for trouble! lol! 
I just love Sheriff to pieces!  He brings a lot of joy into our lives.  Thanks again for sending him to us.
He Flew to New Mexico  , he arrived healthy and happy..

Hi Jane,
    Cirrus is doing great! She has won the hearts of everyone she meets. She is 20 weeks as of today, and we couldn't imagine  life without her. Our older dog has gone through a transformation from a lazy and insecure to confident and blissfully happy! Cirrus and Cheyenne play for hours a day and love eachother's company. She was housebroken quickly and is so smart! Cirrus has been such a blessing! I am sending you pictures to show you how much she has grown. The first two are before and after pics. The others are her playing with Cheyenne and playing catch with our eldest, Bobby.  I will email you more pictures in a couple months.
    I do have a quick question... How big is Angel and Diamond? She is growing fast, and we are just curious. Thank you again for everything!

So sorry I didn't get back to you sooner!!!!  Baron made it safely and the three of us have been settling in great.  However, it was quite a hectic week not only with his arrival, but also my parents being in town I let a few things go by that should have been taken care of, specifically contacting you.  He is so beautiful, and his personality is more than we could have hoped for.   We have been so amazed at how he is already pretty much house trained, I know we have you to thank for that!!  He is so smart, and in the last few days has really settled in, started to come out of his shell and has so much fun on our walks and playing.  We have also been walking him down to the stream, and he loves to play in the water with Dan!  We went to the vet Thurs afternoon and he is strong and healthy as we knew he would be.  I have some pictures and will send them as soon as I get organized, we will also keep you posted on his progress.  Thank you so much for your care and attention with him, it really shows in his sweet, cuddly nature.  Again, I apologize so much for not getting back to you faster, I can imagine it is nerve-racking until you hear they are safe and sound!
 
Staci

Hello Joe & Jane!!

Wow, what a wonderful little guy!! We have had SO much fun with him!  We just got back from a River trip down the Illinois River and he had a BLAST!!! He loved the water, the people, the fishies and just hanging out with all of the family!!!  Needless to say, he's a well-traveled little fella'..He has been on an airplane, a pontoon boat fishing, and now the Illinois River Rafting trip! Everyone simply LOVES him!!!  We have been going back and forth on a name..wanting it to *just-fit* him and I believe we've finally settled on ~ GUNNER ~ it just fits him! He's So ready to just do or try anything ..and smart??  Oh yeah, this guy is very intelligent!!! I am going to send some pic's of him. He has grown SOOOOO much!! 

Again, Thank you SO much for such a Wonderful, Beautiful, and Intelligent pup! His Daddy Garbiel would be PROUD!! :)

Dear Joe and Jane,  Finnegan is so smart and so loving.  We adopted him at 9 weeks old and he went "pottie" in the house at the most 4 times.  He is so political, going from Mom

to dad all the time. He is the best, we could not love him more.  Everyone who comes over just raves about him.  Really, if something ever happened to

him I don't know what I'd do. But, I do know that I would come back to you for another. He loves to play and is not happy unless  he is near us.  He is the BEST!

He is truly the blessing that I prayed for prior to adopting him.  God gave us exactly what we wanted; a playful, friendly but protective if need be; energetic;

fun; people and dog friendly; WONDERFUL son! 


Thanks again, you were an answer to my prayers, honestly!!

Sue

Hey guys its Travis up in Muscatine. 

Just wanted to give you an update on Cinder. I just checked and she will attentively begin her training next
month of course starting with her puppy classes first. She is growing up fast when  she was at the vet her 3 weeks ago she was I think 16 lbs and
my guess is now picking her up over 20 lbs. She is now pretty well house broke in fact she has a bell on the door that she rings when she has to go
out and she is now just tall enough that she gets on her back legs and tries to get the door open when she wants to come back in. All you have
to do is pull down on the handle and believe it or not she has actually  done it once. She is tracked by 3 companies including microchipped by the
one. Of course with what she will be doing down the road she does have insurance on her and is all registered with the AKC. Her actual name is
Lady Cinder since just Cinder was all used up and of course Cinder from  1978 is one of those. She loves to chase the birds around and just the
other day tried to visit the African Grey by trying to get in her cage. At the request of the person who will be training her I had her on the active
puppy Iams for large breed. They had me slowly switch her over to the Royal Canin and the one for puppies cost 50 dollars for the same size bag
of Iams that will cost you 30. She will be on that until she is about 15 months and than will be switched to the Royal Canin that is specifically
for German Shepherds. I am actually looking forward to that switch because around that time her arson training should be close to being done and
ready to be tested for her certification. The awesome part is the other day I had taken the gas cap off the lawn mower and it was sitting on the
garage floor. She walked right up to it sniffed it and than sat there and stared at me for about a minute almost as if she knew. It was unreal she
is going to be awesome and the arsonist's worst nightmare. I will keep you up to date and send some pictures soon. I LOVE THIS PUPPY.

Travis and Cinder

Just received the call today that Cinder will start her puppy obedience class on August 27. She might be a little smart for her own good though. I was having troubles with the garage door and I finally figured out why it would not close. Cinder took the censors off the wall. But she starts her first training steps in a couple weeks and at her 17 week check up she weighed a hair under 35 pounds. The vet said that she is going to be a big dog. She has averaged a 10 pound weight gain per month. I will keep you posted.

Hi Jane!  I’m so glad you wrote.  It “feels” like you are a little stressed…but keeping your focus on the Lord and knowing he will guide you.  I KNOW how hard it is sometimes…but I think we’ve both been in receipt of the His blessings SO many times…we just know it’s true!  We’re here to lift and encourage each other…so if you ever need anything…don’t hesitate to let us know!

 Maya truly is our little angel…I worry about her like I worry about my kids!  For instance; Rob is home today putting some finishing touches on the house and I am a WRECK that he will not be careful with watching her by the door or making sure he takes her out enough; etc.  I’m exhausted with worry!  LOL  Her right ear has kind of “flopped” and we’re a little concerned about that.  I feel like I was a bad mom; because we noticed the other day that when she’s in her nighttime cage, if she stands or sits, her ears hit the top.  (I immediately went out and bought a bigger cage!)  I have also however read that their ears can flop all over the place and go up and down while they’re teething…so we’re hoping that’s all it is.  Rob is also afraid that maybe one of the kids may have been too rough playing with her and broken the cartilage.  She goes for her 12-week visit next Tuesday so I’ll have the vet take a good look at her.  She is just the queen of our house and we’re having so much fun with her!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Dear Jane and Joe here he is...such a sweetheart! what a calm personality he has...and gorgeous!
Koda is the best, he keeps us on our toes and can sometimes be very bossy, but most of the time he only wants hugs and kisses. Jackson and Koda have this weird unexplainable connection, they are like brothers one sometimes jealous of the other (with mommy) but they never get tired of playing together.. Koda is very easy going as long as you are paying him some attention, if he thinks he is being ignored he will put his favorite toy in your lap or push you with his nose. He is so cute, we involve him in all the doggie activities around town, and he loves to socialize but always has to have Jackson in sight. I love the protectiveness he gives us and can't explain how having him has totally changed our lives.
 
Thank you
April, Jimmy, and Jackson.................................
