German Shepherds -German Shepherd Breeders- German Shepherd Puppies |
Due to the size of this site, and the incredible committment from our clients to send in updates and pictures of their dogs as they grow, and develope,it has become quite large. I will be updating with "QUOTES" from emails, sent in from clients sharing their experience's with their new pups. Enjoy! ~Wanda~ |
-Bailey is getting along great with the horses now and I think he has really bonded with the new mare we have. She is the third horse and was really cast as an outsider by the other two horses, so it seems that her and Bailey have really bonded and become good play mates. |
-Tayzer and I go checking mole traps, feed the horses, take care of the cats, go looking at ducks (or chasing them :-)) She is awesome and I wouldn't trade her for the world! |
-Keda even proved to be a trustworthy chicken guard as proven by the attached photo. We had 2 batches of chicks last year and never lost any. |
-Colleen the instructor was extremely impressed and used him as the "DEMO" dog for every excercise but one which made us very very proud. He knows lay down,sit,speak,go lay down,shake a paw and more is coming. |
-MAC IS JUST TERIFFIC HE HAS SIT , STAY , COME , DOWN , SHAKE A PAW , ALLL DOWN PACK NOW , WORKING ON SPEAK AND , AND BANG PLAY DEAD . HE HAS BEEN THE EASIEST DOG I HAVE EVER OWNED TO TRAIN SO NATURAL WITH LITTLE WORK UNBELIEVABLE BOY |
-Hailey is doing awesome. We are training for at least 15 minutes, twice a day. She knows sit, stay, come, down, leave it, and of course NO! Ha Ha Ha! |
-Last night was the last beginner class,Smokey won the most improved dog certificate in the class! I'm very proud of him. He passed the class with flying colours and we are going to attend the advanced beginner class when it starts. |
-We are continually pleased with Maggie's progress and temperament. A while back I could not find Carter in the house and finally he gave away where he was hiding, he was in Maggie's kennel with Maggie in front of him, so all I could see when I looked the first time was Maggie in her kennel. The are the best of buddies. Maggie loves to track, all you have to do to get her on a trail is say "find it" and her nose. |
-I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that Fidget is an amazing puppy. I have had a few pups in my life, but I have to say she is among the smartest. She is learning all the tricks and behaviours we challenge her with and comes back for more. |
-Very stoic during a drive that was long even by human standards. Especially considering he had already travelled 7 or 8 hours with you and Greg. Thanks so much for your help in getting him to us. We managed about 5 hours sleep saturday but by last nite/this morning he had settled right in. Not a peep. Alice keeps him pretty active during the day and assists in the poopy-parade department. Krauss very rapidly learning "outside" and "house". She has already sacrificed many tail and butt hairs to kraus's sharp little fangs. The "little man" is asleep at my feet as I type this. He gave a whine when cindy left for work this morning. He has learned to scratch at the door to get back in the house not bad for day 2. |
-We are amazed at how quickly he is learning, he comes when he is called, let's us know when he wants out, sleeps through the night, and has had few accidents inside ( and only when we were busy and not watching!) Incredible when you consider how cold it is! Considering he has only been with us for 4 days, he has adapted to many new situations amazingly well, including visitors, family dogs, and just the hustle and bustle of Christmas. |
-Dexter is almost fully house trained. I say that only because sometimes if we go to bed early – his little bladder cannot hold all-night and he pee’s on the floor – in the same spot – in our bathroom – so he has learned that people pee in there so why can’t I? Now if I could only get him to aim into the toilet – lol. I can honestly say that he has no bad habits to speak of. |
-She's a fast learner, our hard work and dilligance so far has paid off, with NO accidents yet, and with a reward on every successful potty time outside, she is whining to go out already. I know we are far from out of the woods, but its a nice start. |
-He has been an awesome pup so far only a couple accidents (My fault not his). He goes to the door when he needs to go to the bathroom. |
-You are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Its clear that you have a passion for the dogs and thats the kind of person you want to get a puppy from because you know that they will do whats in the pup's best interest. If you ever need a testomonial or want to use me as a reference for other potential buyers, feel free to just ask. I am really happy with everything, so it would be my pleasure. |
I would just like to comment on what a great breeding progam you have to be able to put out such beautiful and well behaved dogs. He has brought so much joy into our lives over the past 10 months. Thanks again. Dave and Bailey |
-She has been totally awesome in the housetraining department with one little accident. |
-When we arrived at home we took him for a tour of his new yard and he loved the large back yard and played with Jesse and our other puppy Bandit (Lisa's 5 month puppy). He has adjusted great to the family and the house, the kennel training took a little longer but it is working well today. he really likes the short walks (1/2 block) and all of the attention he is getting from both John and Jesse's friends. He adjusted to the food and the water just fine he and Bandit play like they were brothers and it has made it alot easier for him to adjust. |
-What a great temperment and super smart puppy!!!! And not because he is our pride and joy either .He heels, sits, lays down ,stands , all with out a lease !!!!We also play with him to search in the house and that is not a problem for him. Amazing little guy. He barks, gallops around the greatest of airs. Anita and Max |
-All is good, Kudo is pretty much house trained so she will ask to go outside to do her duty. |
-So, about my dog...He is awesome. He is a confident, happy well mannered puppy. He has been a breeze to train. By the time he was 8 weeks old, he could sit, stay, lay down and shake a paw. He knows how to speak now, but the word "speak" is not the command. I have to say "ruff!!" He is so cute! He walks well on a leash and if I let him off the leash in the park, he never runs further than 50 feet infront of me and always comes when called. Tulsa is very patient with kids and never aggressive towards other animals. He is gorgeous too. I dont have any pictures of him on a computer yet that I can send you but if you look at the pictures you have of Rocky at 7 months, its an exact replica! Tulsa was weighed last week. He was 70 pounds. Im taking him to get neutered on March 2nd. I couldnt be happier with the puppy I received from you! He is exactly what I wanted. Kyle and I thank you very much for our addition to the household. Within the next year I would really like a little girl! I will keep in touch about that. Ill let you know when its time :)I hope all is well with you and the babes.. I came across two other people who have purchased puppies from you and it was nothing but positive feed back! Take care :) |
-He is almost 11 months old now and still the same great dog.He loves playing fetch (even when its minus 33 like today). The frigid fetch sessions dont last nearly as long as usual but we make it out everyday no matter what the weather. |
-He’s such a good boy Wanda, so far we had one very small tinkle in the house last night and all the rest of his business has been outside. He slept all night without a peep, had a big breakfast and did his job outside again. |
-We thought Akira would be a little scared when we first got home but she acted like she lived here for a long time already. |
-One fellow in particular, said " I've never come across a Shepherd with such a wonderful temperment." |
-We just got back from Kaiser’s first visit to our local vet. He had his booster shots and I was given a second de-worming treatment to administer at home. Dr. Victoria grew up with German Shepherds and owns them now, she’s a big fan of the breed and couldn’t say enough good things about Kaiser while she examined him. He’s in perfect health and she was immediately won over by his easy going and inquisitive personality. He continues to shine in whatever situation we put him in. |
-As you know they are both a wonderful addition to my household. Koda is a lover. He gives kisses to everyone he meets and loves to cuddle. He is my gentle boy though the first to sound an alarm when someone or something has entered the yard |
-Dennis comes out from his yard carrying a little baby all wrapped up and is heading towards me as I get out of my truck. I of course assume it's probably his grandchild and I'm correct ... his first little girl 4 months old and that he wants to show me .... - Nope - he wants his granddaughter to meet her first dog! He walks up to the truck, starts talking and smiling to Hayley and holds his granddaughter up to Hayley. Hayley has a sniff and of course a lick and off he goes. I was completely utterly stunned !!! He's walking back to his wife and daughter saying "I wanted her first encounter with a dog to be with Hayley, a well trained beautiful trustworthy dog" WOW - I've had many, many compliments but that encounter takes the cake . |
-If there were a rosette for "Best of Breeders", Last Mountain Kennels would have one for the wonderful job you do in socializing your pups. I visited your recent litter of ten and could see you were doing a great deal to get your pups ready to face the world. My daughter bought one of that litter and brought her for a visit of several hours just a few days later. What an awesome puppy! You could tell this baby had come from a kennel where more than one person had handled her, where she had been allowed to explore her world and where she had already been taught some behaviors are good while others are not acceptable. A confident happy pup. I commend your socialization program. Jackie Ball (October 12/06) German Shepherd Breeder |
- He has one of the best temperaments that I have ever seen in a German Shepherd dog. He loves to see company coming and he is always there to greet them with his tail wagging and a big old doggy kiss. It’s great to know that I made an excellent choice in getting a puppy from your kennel. It goes to show what wonderful dogs you have and what a great breeding program you are running in breeding quality puppies. |
-He's doing well with the other dogs and is figuring out the horses. We're starting to work on some commands - namely stay. He's already great with come and sit. We're so happy to have Fraser and would like to send a big thank you your way. |
-With only two classes remaining we will move on to intermediate and agility classes in the coming weeks. He particularly loves going to school and seeing old pals, as well as meeting new ones. Amanda at the RKC says that Dexter is coming along nicely and is not afraid to try new things, as he entered into the “tube” exercise by shoving two other dogs out of the way to be the first one to run through the tube by himself. He is very brave and not afraid of much – even loud noises do not put him off, but rather something for him to investigate. |
-He seems to be adjusting well to our place, he is napping right now The first night went amazing. He was a little apprehensive when we put him in his crate at first.He settled right down again and went to sleep for 6 hours !! I wasnt expecting that. He woke up and i took him outside and he pee'd. He seems to know to pee on the grass already. Zero accidents so far. Again....not expecting that at all. I know its still early but im wicked impressed. |
-She is 3 months today and 30 lbs !! She responds to: "Come" "Stay" "Sit" and is officially potty-trained ... she cries to go outside |
-First off, she's drop dead stunning, ... what a beautiful dog. I can't go anywhere with her without people constantly wanting to see her and telling me what a gorgeous dog she is. But of course our number #1 criteria was temperament and she's off the charts ! I couldn't script a better personality: confident but cautious, playful but not needy, strong but not aggressive, full of energy and zest but not hyper, ... amazing disposition. |
This Page is a Constant Work in Progress Check back often for new additions. Most recent updates will be at the bottom. |
-How are things at the ‘Last Mountain’ kennel? Will named, (blue collar boy) Luke… the trip to Calgary was a success. We had stops in Swift Current, Medicine Hat and made it home in a very timely manner. The last month has been fun, Luke keeps us busy and entertained… he started puppy training last week and has mastered sitting, down, stay, shake a paw, and spin… to date. I have attached a few photos for you to see. |
-I have had so many people stop me and ask me about my puppy. They comment how beautiful and how gentle she is. One lady said that she has never seen a German Shepherd be so gentle. Her dog did not even bark at Avery and that is very unusual for her dog. She was also impressed by how much Avery looked to me for direction. (not my doing as I have not had any formal lessons on how to train a dog). |
-Odin started level one obedience today after a more or less two week lay off. Took him to his first class tonight and he hasn't forgotten a thing. In fact, he was totally awesome, never budged a muscle during the long down stays, and sit stays, even though the other dogs were moving all around him and we haven't done long stays like that before. Haven't practiced walking on leash for a week either as he had hurt his foot, and we were resting it and we had the best on leash walk ever! If he keeps going like this, his title isn't out of the realm of possibilities. |
- Just wanted to give you an update on "Kodiak". He has adapted very well to his new home and is truly a WONDERFUL puppy - I love him so much. He is obviously very smart. He is doing very well with both his crate and his house training. He has had only two accidents - one was totally my fault - on the first day he woke up from a nap and I didn't take him out right away (hadn't read you guide yet!), and he had one accident in his crate early on. But otherwise he has done really well and when I take him out and ask him if he has to pee he typically goes if he has to then comes running to me for a big praise!!! He willingly goes into his crate at night - he does wimper for a few minutes but then sleeps through the night. He is getting along well with all the other animals, including the cats who like him when he doesn't try to play with them!! But they are keeping him in his place!! He loves to be snuggled and patted and told what a good boy his is!! He is learning to play with his toys and my hair!! (I had to put a stop to that!!). I have been working on getting him to sit and he has learned the command "out of the garden"!!! (he finds that one very hard!!) Anyway, just wanted to give you an update. It is hard to be at work right now as I just want to get home to my puppy!!! |
-This is just a quick note to let you know how happy I am with Cooper. He is such a great little puppy he has been doing well with his crate training he had been whining after he had finished his treats and wanted to be out with us but I found he would settle down right away if I stayed beside the crate for a couple of minutes. Potty training is going fantastically when I take him out and give him the command he goes every time! He has been sleeping and eating well. He is amazingly cuddly and happy to be petted and groomed. Like you had told me he is always very keen to be involved with whatever we are doing which is great (almost like having a new shadow). He is very inquisitive and has no fear of new people or household noises. As the weather here was miserable yesterday (not ideal for the first day with a new puppy!) we played inside and worked on some crate training, he also understands 'sit', I am so proud of him and it is only day 2! I cannot say enough good things about Cooper and I know that you have heard alot of these same comments from previous customers as shown on your testimonials page (basically you could take all the good comments off of there and they would all apply to Cooper) but I want to keep you in the loop and let you know how happy I am and how much of a pleasure it has been dealing with Last Mountain Kennels. I will do my best to stay in touch as he grows and progresses and to send you photos of this extrordinarily cute litlte puppy. -Cooper had his second round of shots on Saturday and handled it fantastically, he didnt even realize he got them! The vets and the receptionists all loved him, as does everyone that meets him. Crate training is working out great as is toilet training. I had told you that he has picked up basic commands already and we are continuing to practice these at least three times a day in short sessions, he really seems to enjoy it. When we go for rides in the car he lays down in his crate and has a nap which makes me laugh, obviously I am not a very exciting driver...We have been going out on short walks, it did take him a few times to get used to being on a leash but now he seems to be grasping the concept, he does well now whether it is me or Sherry at the other end of the leash. Everyone we see while we are out stops for a pat and a chat about him and he is very well behaved while doing so. I just wanted to let you know that everything is going great, the vet said he is looking very well and is in perfect health. He nedds a booster shot in another 4 weeks and after that we can start to go to puppy school, I am really looking forward to this. He weighs 8.8 kgs now and is starting to look alot bigger. He is very close to holding his ears all the way up. |

-Absolutely love my pup. She is doing very well and is growing everyday. She now has had all three set of shots and we are starting obedience classes tonight. Very excited about that. We have been going on a lot of walks and she is really getting to know her neighborhood. She knows when we are walking away from our house and when we are walking back. As soon as we change direction back to the house her pace quickens and you can tell she knows were are going home. I was also thinking of enrolling Avery in some agility training. Four months is okay for her to start according to the instructor. I want to stay active with Avery and ensure that even in the winter she is getting good exercise and mental stimulation. Any insights you have on agility training would be helpful as I appreciate your advice. Everyone who sees Avery comments on how beautiful she is and are impressed by her high pointed ears. |
-Maverick has settled in quite well in the neighborhood, and has done a great job of making friends with the neighboring dogs, and has a wide variety of friends including a sheltie, 2 dobermans, a few labs, a great dane, and even 2 chihuahas! The kids take turns walking him on our outings, and he's usually pretty good but has got distracted by the odd butterfly! He's got lightning fast reflexes, and I don't need a flyswatter right now as he does a pretty good job of taking care of any flies he sees in the house! Maverick is quite attached to his "people" (mostly the kids!) and does a pretty good job of making sure they are all rounded up. He's not aggressive in the least, but he is very intent on always making sure he is in between them and anyone new, usually by laying on their feet, or leaning up against the kids (him and Beckett who is 4 have toppled over a few times!) |
-We (Jack) are in puppy classes right now and we are learning lots, this week we are learning leash training and stay. Our trainer Janet loves him, she said he is a very calm and easy puppy to work with. He is calm for a puppy, if there is such a thing. He plays lots and will be bratty and then will just go off and sleep in his kennel which is nice. He's getting big fast, I can't pick him up anymore. I have included a couple of pictures of him, he's pretty cute. He is getting nuetered in the next couple of months so I will stay in touch and send you the paperwork once this done. |
-How are things at the ‘Last Mountain’ kennel? Will named, (blue collar boy) Luke… the trip to Calgary was a success. We had stops in Swift Current, Medicine Hat and made it home in a very timely manner. The last month has been fun, Luke keeps us busy and entertained… he started puppy training last week and has mastered sitting, down, stay, shake a paw, and spin… to date. I have attached a few photos for you to see. I hope all is well we looked at the photos of your current litter tonight and they are adorable. |
Our photos are now hosted on line. You can see all litters, pups as they have grown and our own dogs albums. Enjoy! |
All boarding info can be found at this link should you wish to board your dog with us. |
-Just wanted to let you know that Miss Abbey was a really good girl at the groomers last week. It was her very first bath and the first time I've left her with strangers. Everyone at the "doggie spa" said she was such a sweetheart - she gave kisses to everyone. They were very impressed with her good nature. Thought you would like to hear this news! I know you're not surprised because this is exactly what you strive for in your dogs. They also said she was "so beautiful" but we knew that too! lol |
-Thought that you might enjoy checking in on Que. We graduated from puppy school......Que did well.....will take her to advanced beginner in the fall. As well may do beginner agility.Steady progress with her.....the classes benefitted me as well as Que...remembered many things....Cheryl did a great job. Que and Abbey are still a work in progress....2 bossy girls...they have been together several times over the last 2 weeks. As you can see Miss Que is much loved....hope you have a wonderful summer. |
-Hope all is well with you and your new and up and coming litters. I have been meaning to email for some time now but the kids and the puppy have been keeping me very busy, as I’m sure you know from experience. Everything is going really well with Neeko. Potty training and crate training he has been a breeze with. His puppy nipping hasn’t been too bad we are always on top of it. I had to mend a few things but nothing too major. He will still occasionally mouth the kids but with an AHHHH he will usually change it to a lick. I can see that he is getting it. He has bonded well with us. He love to be near and by your side we love him very much. He is a swimmer, loves to be in our pond. He jumps off the island part into the water and goes right under. It looks very silly. We just finished puppy kindergarten and we will be starting a life skills basic class in July as well as a search and rescue fun class in October. We do a really good job draining his energy. The only problem that I feel like I’m having is getting him to ignore other dogs. He gets very focused and will bark with excitement at them wanting to play. He is more vocal than I’m used to with dogs. He knows speak and quiet and does them well but the other dogs are very distracting for him. I have seen improvements and so has my instructor but if you have any advice please feel free to share it. |
-Just a quick note to tell you that Rythmn's first day of classes was AWESOME!! She had already learned some stuff that we learned tonight but that is all thanks to her terrific owner!! She is doing well though, very quick to learn. She got her 3rd set of boosters yesterday. The vet said that she is VERY healthy and is slow and steady. I was happy to hear that because as we had discussed we both think that is important. Rythmn was an easy exame for the vet because she fell asleep on the table. A deep sleep at that, she was snoring!! Her diet now consists of a teaspoon of yogurt for the extra calcium. We are slowly working our way up to a tablespoon. She hasn't got the runs yet so I plan to keep it that way lol. Her ears seem to be wanting to stand up little by little. Thanks for the hint. Well that is all the news for now! I will keep in touch and let you know how she finishes her obedience glasses. Take Care |
-I took these pics today at the park. I thought you might want to see them. Rthym is doing very well in school. She gets along with all the other dogs which are min. pins. she just lays down to get on their level. Its cute! We are going to Advanced classes started this Thursday. She is quick and eager to learn. VERY willing to please, easpecally for a ball. I love working with her and teaching her new things. Her new trick latley is pushing her empty water dish across the floor. Its really cute. I hope all the new puppies are doing well and things are good with you and yours as well. |
-I just wanted to send you a note telling you how happy we are with Rajko. He's a gorgeous dog. Everywhere we go people stop and tell us how stunning he is. He's full of energy, but has no problem calming down when we need him to. He never jumps and rarely barks. He's incredibly alert and protective of us already. He loves other dogs too--we took him to my parents' farm and he loved hanging out with their giant malamute. We let him run but he never left our sight, and always came back when we called. He's very obedient. He just loves water too. He wants to jump in every puddle he finds. We got him a paddling pool and he loves to just sit in it or dig at the water. We started him on the next set of obedience classes with the RKOC and he's taking classes with his sister, Rhythm. They had a lot of fun playing together when they were first reunited. I'm not sure if they remembered each other, but they certainly had fun. Her owner and I were discussing how she looks like Kruz and Rajko looks like Desi. We've found the best dog food for him too is the PetSmart brand, "Authority." It's got the same general ingredients as the brand you suggested. He is doing much better on it and it seems to be the only kind that agrees with him. Thanks again for all your advice and support. You make beautiful, well rounded dogs! |
-Hi Wanda, we are home safe and sound and have fallen madly in love with this little angle. She is so cute with so much character and a beautiful personality. We decided to crate train the first night after we noticed her keen interest in chewing and that is going fairly well but she can really make lots of noise for a tiny girl. We have been holding our own and not giving in even when she howls in the night. Actually I was wondering if you gave us a werewolf by accident LOL. Wanda the fact that you really care deeply for the animals a successful adoptions is evident in all the extra effort put forth in this process. The extra care and dedication has not gone unnoticed and we appreciate it greatly! I will would recommend your business to all that are acceptable clients. Thanks again and I will stay in touch. |
