Hi Dyan!
Well Carmen/Kharma is doing very
well with her training! Super smart
girl! Thank you so much for helping
make a dream come true.
I wondered how you were faring after
your loss... and how the puppies
were doing? I hope all is getting a
little better.
Just wanted to let you know how my
girl is doing! She is laid back and
doing great!

Subject: Thanks from
Tulsa
Hy Dyan,
Thanks for allowing
Carol and I to visit
last week and see your
lovely dogs. As you may
recall, we were referred
by a former Dallasite
named Tex, who lives in
my oldest daughter's
apartment building in
Manhattan and who bought
way-cute 5 month old
Ranger from you --you
were uncertain who it
was and so I asked
around. He told my
daughter that Ranger's
parents are Putz and
Anushka.
We loved your pups; they
are obviously very high
quality--Carol even
wanted to consider a
girl for the first time,
so cute were they all.
We both particularly
appreciated your
approach to both
breeding and your
confident, low key
method of training and
raising the pups --it
shows in their behavior.
We have really been
torn, and I don't even
know if your male is
still available. For a
while, we have been in
the process of getting
an imported male from a
friend/acquaintance who
is a serious hobby
breeder. When we
visited we were not sure
he was going to have any
pups and right after we
visited he told us he
would. We feel like we
have made somewhat of a commitment
to him that we should
honor and since we don't
think we have capacity
for two dogs, we
reluctantly decided to
pass on your pups, at
least for now. If
circumstances change, we
will almost certainly
want to call back to see
what animals you may
have available then.
Thank you again for your
time. You have a
wonderful breeding
program.
Best Regards,
Steve and Carol

Hi Dyan,
Thank you for mailing us the AKC

We continue to be amazed by our
puppy we got from you last summer.
His training is going great! We get
so many compliments on his looks and
behavior.
I've attached a recent picture of
him. Please let me know if you would
like more.
Thanks,

Hi Dyan,
I hope all is
well.
Firstly, I want
to tell you what an amazing
addition Ranger has been to our
little family. He has brought,
and continues to bring, so much
joy, love and happiness into our
lives in ways we never thought
possible. It is so wonderful
watching him grow, learn,
explore and play. He is so
smart, gentle and curious - and
to top it all off, he is the
talk of the town! We can't take
a walk without being stopped
every few steps for pictures,
pets, and general admiration.
Secondly, I just went to go
register Ranger with the AKC
(finally) and it looks like we
need an individual Dog
Registration Application, which
is supposed to be provided by
the seller. Is that something
that you can either email or
mail to us? I
have attached a few recent
pictures of our little man for
you. We can't thank you enough
for giving us the opportunity to
bring Ranger into our lives. I
look forward to hearing back
from you!!

'Z' Litter
Putz/Vessa
son @ 9 months |
You had said you wanted pictures
of your puppies when they were
older. Meet Sig, in this picture
he is about 11 months old. He
was from you 3-10-12 litter,
Putz and Vessa. He is the
coolest dog. He and my 9 year
old male
German Shepherd are the
Best of Friends. They are
inseparable. He has more energy
than you can believe and the
best personality. My 9 year old
has taught him to be the big
protector. When ever he hears
something in the alley, the hair
goes up on his back and he takes
off to get the bad guys but when
friends come to the house he is
great with them after he knows
them.
The picture is a little blurry
because he never stops.
Thanks so much. Take care.

'Jax'
'E' Litter
Clδr/Ken son |
Jackson is doing fine. He has been rather cavalier about
learning to be housebroken, but we think he's finally got
the hang of it. He keeps getting bigger and bigger, and
everyone who sees him is impressed by his good looks,
manners and boyish charm. He knows sit and "shake" and walks
very good on a leash, and as you can see by the picture,
gets our newspaper in the morning. He does struggle with the
heavy Sunday paper, but in another couple of months, will
not have a problem carrying it! We couldn't be happier with
him.
I'll keep the pictures coming.
Regards,
Art Griffin
PS Jax has a pool and loves the water. We have a lake across
from us which he loves to jump into.

Thought you would like these pics of Rookie at 3mo. He had his
first visit to Rockwall County Veterinary Clinic to get his 12
week check-up and shots. Dr Keith Taylor is our Vet. He and his
staff spoke very highly of you and, when I said you would be
getting an update, Dr Taylor asked if I would to tell you hello
for him.
We set a date in May to have him neutered, which should take
care of him. He is doing great!

POSTED ON
THE INTERNET IN A DOG FORUM:
I can personally vouch for
the solid temperament and
soundness of Dyan's dogs. I
purchased an 18 month old
female for my son as a
service dog. It takes two to
three years to train and
certify most service dogs.
We have had Bryn for a
little over a year and she
is completely certified as a
service dog as well as a
medical alert dog and just
for the heck of it my son
put her CGC on her just last
week. She picks up dropped
objects, can open doors, she
can alert when Alex needs
help and many more things.
Her most important job?
Alerting to high blood
pressure, low blood pressure
and low blood sugar. Not
just any dog can do this.
The dog must have a strong
bond with it's "person". You
cannot even begin to have a
bond like this unless the
puppy has been properly
conditioned. Dyan's dogs are
properly conditioned. Bryn
is a people dog. Not a dog's
dog. She craves human
attention and companionship.
That comes from being in a
kennel where a lot of time
has been spent with humans
and not other canines. She
has been properly socialized
and is comfortable in any
situation. Again, that is
Dyan's doing. Good homes are
very important to Dyan. She
puts a lot of love and time
into her puppies. I believe
she tries extra hard to
place each puppy/dog in the
right home. If she doesn't
have something to fit your
needs, you probably won't
get a dog. That's better
than having an ill fitting
match. She stands behind her
dogs. If it doesn't work
out. She wants her dog back
and will replace it if
necessary.
We could not be more happy
with Bryn. My son is
paralyzed from the chest
down. Bryn has brought
freedom and happiness and
laughter that could not have
come from anywhere else. Jennece

Bryn, I believe is
smarter than all of us!! Too smart
for her own britches!!! Have you
ever seen a dog watch a clock???
Alex doesn't take her to his labs
because they are three hours long.
So she stays with me. She will watch
the clock and when it is time for
him to get out of class she will go
and lay by the door and wait for
him!! Such a smartie pants! |

Clar/Ken Daughter
Kim, the lady who picked Ellie
up
at the Airport and I have had more fun with her
around the house today. You are right, so smart, picks
up commands easily. What a beautiful dog! My lab
tolerates her but isn't quite sure about her yet. Nose
out of joint feeling like too much attention to new
puppy even though we include her also. I gave her
vaccine records to my vet. They need to know the tag #
for the rabies or the vet clinic it was given. Thanks.
Off to feed the girls! Oh, Ellie said thanks for sending
her here!!!! Mary
Dyan, I asked Tim where all the paperwork for the
puppy was, He told me the airline people took it out of
the envelope and took it to the back, therefore he
"assumed" it was their paperwork. No offense, but these
people have dogs that they take all over. I would think
they would know to ask for the health papers!
GRRRRR! I guess I can't say anything, I
couldn't pick her up. Would your vet at least have the #
on the tag?? My vet could call them for it if they would
have it. I could try calling AA but I'm sure they don't
have the paperwork any longer.
Well we had another good night. She is sitting here
chewing on her bone. Everyone except the cats love her.
The cats are very put out by this intruder. The lab is
fine with her until later in the evening when Ellie
wants to play and she doesn't. She gets grumpy and
growls at her as she walks away. That is about as
aggressive as Daisy gets. Will give you updates on Miss
Ellies progress! Thanks

everyone,
We left Otto vom
Haus Merkel on
the deck one day
unattended and
we noticed he
was all wet and
no water was
running. Our
friend Josephine
told us he could
turn the faucet
on and off. We
didn't believe
her.
While we were at
work, Josephine
filmed this to
convince us that
Otto knew how to
turn the water
ON and
OFF.
For those of you
who don’t know
Otto, he is our
son Max's 17
month old German
shepherd. We
think he might
be smarter than
a 5th Grader!

You might enjoy
this. Rudi wants to

eat in the morning.
As you can see he is
a spoiled house dog.
I don't know if you
remember but Rudi
was the little guy.
He is standard size
and has this
gorgeous movement. A
lot of angulation
but thankfully it is
german angulation.
As discussed in the
past, this is my
third from you since
the mid 80's,
(Apache, Romel and
now Rudi) and I can
always count on a
great example of the
breed that drips
with type from you.
For me, no type no

Dyan,
I
knew about your
mother and am so
sorry to hear about
the rest of your bad
luck. I would love
to have another one
of your dogs but my
wife would kill me!
We have a black and
tan bitch out of
German breeding that
is a couple of
months older than
Rudi. She is also
out of German
imports but does not
have a proper coat
and is not near the
example of breed as
Rudi. She is
intelligent and has
a great nose. I had
her spayed and they
are both house dogs.
In any case we are
both in our mid 60’s
and had forgotten
how much trouble 2
puppies can be. Dyan,
as much as I love
your dogs I think I
love my wife
more…..If I hear of
anyone who make a
good home for your
female I’ll let you
know.

Dyan,
My name is Chester
Tam and I am the
husband of Helen Tam
who you have been in
contact with
regarding our new
puppy. Attached is
the signed contract
that you requested
from us. The one
question I had to
you regarding the
name of the puppy
is, if we were to
give him our last
name, would we put
that before the Von
Haus Merkel or
after? Thank you for
clearing up the
first name starting
with an E with Helen
as this kept her up
all night trying to
figure out a name
starting with E.
I know Helen has
told you I've been
skeptical about
purchasing a dog
online at such a
hefty price tag
without ever seeing
a puppy. There are
so many scams out
there these days and
this is what cause
me to feel this way.
Now that the time
has finally arrived
for us to welcome
home our new family
member, I'd like to
thank you for all
you have done. I'm
grateful that you
have provided us
with a puppy you
feel will be a great
fit for our family
and grateful for all
the answers you have
provided back as we
had them. As you may
know, Helen and I
are in love with
German Shepherds and
this will come at
the perfect time of
year. We are very
excited to see our
children's reaction
tonight when we go
to the airport.
Thank you for doing
all that you do to
share such wonderful
dogs with the world.
We will be in touch
soon.
Happy Holidays,
Chester Tam |

Hey Dyan!
Haven't heard from you in a while. I thought I'd send a few pics of Bryn.
Did I tell you
we put a CGC on
her? Well she
was the top
score in her
class. We also
had her tested
for a therapy
dog, so now she
can visit little
kids in the
hospital. So,
she is a
Certified

Certified
Medical Alert
Dog, Certified
Therapy Dog and
she has a CGC!
Pretty cool!
Have a very

I
sent this around
Xmas. She is chewing
on a small rawhide,
I think her face is
beautiful. She is a
big girl. Not sure
how much she weighs
but it must be about
55 to 60 lbs at this
point. She is
so strong. While
visiting my parents
she tried to chase a
cat in the rain. I
ended up falling in
mud but managed to
hold on to the
leash. It was all I
could do to hold her
back. I have learned
that the "leave it"
command that she was
taught by the
trainer helps with
these types of
situations. She is
still on puppy food.
( nutro ultra). When
do you recommend I
change her to an
adult food?
Thanks
Dyan. - Merry
Christmas
Here is a

Jen and I wanted to pass along some new pics of Cooper,
Voltan and Ullas litter back in February 2010. Cooper was
entered into a Halloween contest at his doggy camp we take
him to and he won LOL!! His winning Halloween pic is
attached, although Cooper looks beyond upset about wearing
his Halloween outfit. I also attached another Pic of Cooper
enjoying his day at camp. Cooper continues to be the love of
our lives. He has absolutely become part of our family and
goes everywhere with us. He always steals everyone's heart
that meet him, although at first impression, people tend to
be a little hesitant coming up to him. He is the favorite at
the Camp we take him too, the staff even have the Pic of
him, attached above by the Pool, hanging up in their lobby.
Hope all is well. We saw about the dog attack on one of your
females, you all were in our thoughts and prayers. Was the
owner ever caught? Please keep us updated as we still think
about how you both are doing.
Thank you again for providing such a special companion for
Jen and I. We will continue to keep you updated on Cooper
and us.

9/9/12Hi Dyan,
You know, prior to finding your site I was searching for a breeder for almost a year. I was searching local, out of state, and even international. I've even thought of adopting. I would check out local pounds to see if there was a dog fit to be part of our family. Most of the dogs that were up for adoption were not suited for a house with children, therefore, I scratched the whole adoption idea. I was never 100% sure on a dog because during that time, I had scheduling conflicts with work, the kids, and school. In addition to that, my son's allergist forbid us from having a puppy. You can imagine how heart broken my son is because of that. In addition, I felt our place was too small to support a big dog.
There was two reasons why I decided to have a puppy. Mind you, my husband was against it-unless the dog was a GSD. The main reason was the constant begging from my children and my son telling me he resents himself because his allergies didn't allow him to own a dog-ever. This broke my heart. The second reason was because of the incident that occurred in our office building back in April. Our building had an attempted robbery. Long story short, the robber assaulted two people and it all happened in front of our office. The first thing that popped in my head was, "We need to get a dog, like, NOW!"
After that, puppy searching simply got serious and was on a whole different level. I wanted a puppy that was of high quality, exceptionally large, great to train in terms of protection, yet had the loving and loyal disposition of the breed. For me, this is important. Now, you may think we have deep pockets- but we actually don't. At least not yet. My husband and I make an honest/decent living and are in the upper middle-class range in terms of salary. It's a great living, but not rich by any means.
When I ran into your site- it was like reading a book and opening a present at the same time. It literally surprised me! I love the articles, detailed information, and of course the pictures. It wasn't sketchy or misleading. Most importantly Dyan, your site showed me your passion and dedication for the GSD breed and that's what I wanted in our breeder. I highly respect your hard work, commitment, sacrifice, and endless efforts in keeping the quality of the breed a priority. You educated me and I thank you for that.
I'd buy an older puppy from you. I know they need loving homes. My husband already thinks I'm crazy for spending that much on a puppy. Enjoy your day with the dogs tomorrow. You need it!
Helen

Every time i take ranger out
people stop to tell me he's
beautiful and sweet. Several have
asked me for your info.
I Love him' Rose |
I hope you are doing good. Codin is stilll adorable - even with those floppy ears....should I tape them up? He left your house with alert ears. They came down about a week later and he still isn't picking them up - I wonder what happened? I also took him to the vet, he suggested surgery about 5 months to be neutered, so in October or early November I will take him in to be neutered.
He brings the newspaper up when Kristen gets the mail after school every day. Kristen walks him and plays with him every day. They play fetch and he brings the ball back, he harasses the cat and is generally enjoying being a family dog.

P.S. My neighbor Marcy talked to another neighbor about adopting your cockatiel, but she already has 3 birds and said no. If I know of anyone, I will let you know

Hi Dyan,
I'm messaging you with the hopes
that you can help me. My GSD's
breeder will be of no help, this I'm
sure.
My dog has been
ill on and off since he was a puppy,
starting with PANO. Anyway, he is 2
1/2 years old and suffers from
chronic pyoderma. He is on SPL
injections, medicated baths weekly,
benadryl almost every night and
Natural Balance grain free kibble-
chicken & sweet potatoes. He looks
good but is uncomfortable. I can see
it. He does have some sensitivities
to molds, dust mites, pine trees. My
vet did not think it was worth it to
spend the money on food allergies.
This dog is even mildly allergic to
humans. Ace is currently on
antibiotics because of a break out.
This cannot be long term as you
know, because of future resistance.
The vet as mentioned changing him to
Abady dog food. I am going crazy
trying to figure out ways to help
him, in his environment. I ripped up
my rugs and put pergo flooring down
and now I'm thinking I should rehome
some birds as I have 6 of them.
Thinking he may be allergic to them
as well.
I'm sorry to
bother you (because I'm not
technically a client yet) but you're
the only breeder I can go to. From
what I've read and seen on the net,
you have the values of a very
respectable breeder. Any input would
be appreciated. Have you ever heard
of this in other lines? Thanks so
much ahead of time.

Hi Dyan,
Hope all is going well. This pic is a month old now (11 months), but wanted to share. Duke is doing great, and enjoying his summer on the lake. He still wears his life jacket cause we are too scared to do without it.

Dear Dyan,
I can't believe Luna is almost a
year old (Puma/Ken)....We took her
on our family vacation to Nantucket
where she swam and played on the
beach daily. She adapted to sand and
sea as if she never knew anything
else.

AKA Blitz, AKA Mika
Italo/RIesa daughter |
Original owner was
told by a group of 'trainers' of
Malinois that Her dog 'Blitz'
(Fenja) dog could not do Schutzhund.
I would love to see their
credentials!!!!!
Guess what...Fenja
was returned to me, then this gal in
Florida bought a Malinois puppy.
Watch your trainers, they have a
hidden agenda just to get into your
pocket and sell you one of their
dogs.
However, 'Fenja'
(Mika) has a great owner now and is
working with real trainers!!!! |

Hi Dyan, Rory is beautiful. Everyone that sees him just goes on and on about how gorgeous he is. Plus he is almost a very good boy. LOL His adolescence has been difficult. Typical teenage boy. LOL He is about 80 pounds at 9 months right now. I’ll share some photos when I get his papers. You are going to be very proud of him.

Hey Dyan,
Liebe and I received our

for Search and Rescue today
showing our recent certification as

I have attached a copy of our
certificate and will send a pic of
the two of us very soon for your

I am extremely proud of our bright

you would be too!

The puppy Alex
is doing great!
His temperament
in public
continues to
exceed any and
all
expectations.
His stool is now
consistently
firm. We have
him on a White
fish food he
goes bonkers
for.
He learns tricks
in Minutes!
Has a true
excitement for
his daily
routine. House
broken with
basically no
effort.
We have decided
that schutzhund
is a bit to much
for us. We are
starting basic
training this
coming week.
Just for fun,
nothing to
serious. He
needs very
little help, so
crazy smart.
His left ear is
still down, is
that OK?
Very playful
sometimes
excitement boils
over in am play
time and he goes
for the fore
arm. It is out
of a
playfullness for
sure. However in
the overexcited
state a firm NO
seems to have
little effect.
What is best way
to handle?
Adam and Sabine.

Hi everyone,
We left Otto vom
Haus Merkel on
the deck one day
unattended and
we noticed he
was all wet and
no water was
running. Our
friend Josephine
told us he could
turn the faucet
on and off. We
didn't believe
her.
While we were at
work, Josephine
filmed this to
convince us that
Otto knew how to
turn the water
ON and
OFF.
For those of you
who don’t know
Otto, he is our
son Max's 17
month old German
shepherd. We
think he might
be smarter than
a 5th Grader!

I recently adopted a
German Shepherd from my
friends Bob and Wendy Dowds from
Visalia California. Regrettably
they have lost the purchase
records. They remembered that
they bought the 2 year old
Shepherd male from a Texas,
Dallas/ Fort Worth Breeder (the
breeder was a lady) and had it
flown to California and that the
dog's first name was Fix. He was
protection trained, but again
they do not remember the extent
of the training.
I saw your webpage and noticed
that your Shepherds have the
same colors as Fix. I would like
to find out more about him,
since he is a magnificent dog.
Kind, protective, loving and
awesome to look at. It would be
great to understand more about
his training background.
Just wondering if he might by
chance be from you. Please see
attached photo.
Thank you for your time.

She really is
beautiful! She
weighs 85
pounds, but she
isn't overweight
at all! Just
very large boned
and very
muscular. She is
such a nut! She
does so many
funny things
that have us
rolling in the
floor. But when
she is on the
wheelchair she
is all business.
It is amazing
how quickly she
can switch from
pet to working
dog! What she
was doing in
that picture was
trying to get me
to take her to
campus where she
knew Alex was!
She thought she
was being sly,
but I was on to
her! LOL
Something
interesting
that we
found out is
that the
odor of
marijuana is
extremely
irritating
to her. How
we found
this out was
a guy came
to class
with some in
his back
back. She
started
sneezing and
then glaring
at his back
pack. She
continued to
chuff at it.
After class
the guy
comes up to
Alex and
says "dude,
you should
let us know
your dog is
trained in
drugs!" Alex
said she's
not, he said
"Yeah right
that why she
knows I have
a joint in
my bag". How
funny is
that???

Dyan - wherever we go people
comment how beautiful Emma is - some

a perfect looking GS dog :-) very
friendly and attentive - a real
people-dog .. loves everyone and
loves to play with other dogs. |
My name is Deana

I am based out

I want to start
off by saying
how very
impressive your
site is. We have
a very small
breeding colony
of GSd's here in
the South (4
females ranging
from 5 months to
4 years, all
carriers for
degenerative
mylopathy, 1
male that is
also a carrier
and 1 male that
is clear) so we
are always on
the look out for
the temperament
that we need as
guide and
service dogs but
also a non
carrier.
Can you tell me
your prices for
puppies or even
an adult that
would fit these
parameters?

Hi Dyan
J ust
wanted to let you know
Mika might have saved my
life today.
Here's what happened:
There was this weird guy
outside my apartment
looking in our windows
and when I went to take
her out to go the the
bathroom he kept like
pacing and looking at
me. He started walking
toward me and I was like
can I help you? He
didn't say anything by
this time Mika was
already by our front
door I was by the stairs
probably 30 feet away
and she must have sensed
I was nervous and she
came around the corner
and stood in front of me
and started barking, he
took off to his car. I
reported all this to the
police this morning and
they reported it to our
apartments.
Because of her I
thankfully am sound at
home but who knows what
could have happened.
Thank you for giving me
my best friend who I
trust more than
anything. She definitely
makes me feel so safe
when Ryan isn't there
to.
Markell & Ryan
Ps. Ryan gets deployed
on may 10th and we are
coming to Dallas
Christmas time so will
have to stop by and see
you maybe help with some
puppies if you have any

Hey Dyan,
I haven't sent you a picture on a
while. Minka is doing so well! Here
is a quick photo showing her riding
in the back seat of the convertible
enjoying some wind. She spent her
first day at a doggie daycare and
did wonderfully with all of these
strangers and other dogs. People
really love her sweet temperament.
She is also the most beautiful GSD I
have ever seen! Anyway just an
update.
Take care,

Hi
Dyan,
Here's a photo of
Gilly at 4 months.
She's doing very
well. She's doing
her K-9 obedience
training and the
trainer is working
us with the
tracking. He likes
her a lot and he is
anxious to see what
she can do.
Depending on how
well she does, the
officer has talked
about Gilly and I
possibly joining the
local search and
rescue group. That
would be fun. But
first I need to get
through my knee
replacement surgery
next month.
