Dog Breeders Specializing in long coated German Shepherd Puppies-AKC
We will update on the site the new pictures we get sent by our Puppy Families when the pups are approximately 1, 2, and 3-4 years old.  
If I am outside, please leave a message with your phone number (and new inquiries, state u are calling from so I know time zone) and I will call you back. Also please let me know if the call is urgent or not.
Just wanted to take the time at the first of the new year here to thank all of you who keep in touch with us through out the year from 1 time a year- (which is fine)- to quite a few  times during the year-which is VERY fine! :-)   - letting us know how our pups are doing and growing and sending pictures! We do LOVE hearing from you and hearing about how our pups are doing and growing and are so greatly appreciative of your staying in touch with us and do so enjoy hearing from you all!!! I know every one is very busy with their lives, family, dogs, and work, so we do so appreciate your doing this! After the pups are 3 1/2 to 4 years old we will still always LOVE to hear about them and/or see them! but just not quite so essential as at least yearly during their first 4 years. So we will not ask you for pics after the pups are 4 years old (unless you would like to still send pictures!) :-) So we really wont bug u forever! :-)  But you may always call me whenever you would like!! ~

Thank you all again!  Sandy
Because we get soo many e-mails...If we ever miss your e-mail, or if you think we may have missed putting up your beautiful puppie's picture, please let me know! :-) Please re-send e-mail or call us about your pups pic!
PLEASE - CALL  if you have any important ?'s as I am only able to check e-mails a few times a month now.Thank you!
New inquiries AS WELL AS people who already own our puppies...
BUT.... Puppy Owners please still send pics e-mail and as soon as I do see them I will call or write u back! Thank u!!! Please put on the pictures or e-mail the Puppy's name, mom & dad (litter) and your phone number; also age in  the picture (and weight  & height at the shoulders - if you have that info) Thanks  sooo much!  :-)))
We still LOVE to see the pups pictures but we may not be putting the pics up on the site until the pups are about 1 year old as we are running out of room! Will have to start working on where to put them as soon as I can! May have to make a second website or link to a site like Snapshots and put albums up there. If you write to me, until we get the pics up, I can email you litter mates pics if I have them.
For the next few months we will ONLY be able to answer phone calls. Thank You. 304-384-8884

Starting Your GSD Out Right!
Barb in CT's  2(!) sable boy pups from me at 4.5 months old, Barb's Stormy and Thunder. (not my own stormy & thunder)
What a fabulous pic! lol! :-)
I will be making another web site soon as my original is getting kind of out of control!
I will put pics of my new girls on it as well as litters of past puppers fom the past 2 years as I have not had space to get them up. I will link it with my original site as well.


Please excuse things around here while construction is being done.
NOTICE: Starting in 2009 I will probably be having only 2-3 litters a year. So if you would like to be the proud pupper momma or daddy of one of my beautiful, gentle puppies, you should try get your deposits in early  to guarantee you one of my puppies. For 2008 I will probably be having only 2 more litters for the rest of this year.Ready to go in August 08.
For years I have given my heart and soul to my pupper dogs here. Also just about every minute of my life. I have also given up some of my health as every one who knows me knows that I I always put my dogs first-even before myself! Just about every minute of my day is spent doing something with, to, or because of, my dogs. I will be 'smalling' things down here in order to spend more time just enjoying my own dogs and puppies, my family & friends and traveling. And trying to eat, sleep, etc, like a normal person rather than going with out for years.  I have met many wonderful people who care deeply for their pets. At this point I will probably not stop breeding all together as I dont want to ever loose my very special lines that I have here - that are sooo very precious to me.
Most  breeders know and agree that if one has much over 5-7 dogs, they cant possibly all be given enough attention that our dogs do soooo deserve! (Time spent with them - which is love, is what they desire most!)- not time while we are working too- or when we can fit in
a bit
of time! Most breeders start out small and do have time in the begining for many outings with - and just to enjoy, their dogs. Because some of us love our dogs sooo much, it is very hard for us to let them go and over the years we aquire more plus then some of us keep retired dogs too. For each new dog that comes - there is less time for all the others. Some just get more dogs solely for monetary reasons. I have told many of my customers that I truely believe I should not even be a breeder as I do struggle too hard letting my pups go! Maybe physical needs like food, water, shelter, grooming, elimination, etc. can be taken care of. Put that with the vets, business, phone calls, and computer, etc. and that does not leave too much time for us just ' to be'  with our dogs- to just spend time with them enjoying them & individually as well.

My dogs are with me every minute of the day and night but so much the time IS spent working. I want very much to be able to get back to where most of my time is spent enjoying my dogs and small amount of time spent 'dog' working! Everyone who knows me or who has gotten a pup from me knows I have always bred for my own personal satisfaction and emotional rewards -  selling of puppies was strictly to fund be being able to care for all the dogs that I wanted to keep here for myself, to never loose my lines(my bigges fear), and to be able to be here to care for them. This venture never turned out to be monetarily successful. But my heart soars with pride from the puppies that came from my pupper dogs as well as from the families I have been able to make sooo happy. I have plans now to keep doing this for myself, so I dont ever loose my 'so precious to me' lines, but on a smaller scale.  Thank You Wonderful Families!
