Cheetah has a New Home

Cheetah has found the perfect partner! She will be acting as a service dog for someone in need. I can't give details so as to respect this persons privacy. Just know she is going to be the perfect partner. She is here for a few weeks of training then off to what she was born & bred to do.

Guardian Angels Helping Our Veterans

This is Alenka and her war Veteran.  Alenka has almost completed her service dog training and will become  official in the near future.  One of her jobs is to wake him if he has nightmares.  She looks quite comfortable with her job, doesn't she!  I'm very proud of Alenka for being a true K9 Partner for this Veteran.  Wounded Warriors has been a great help to this pair and I would like to thank them for making this possible.  I'll keep you updated on her progress.

Cruz & Cheetah Racing!

I'm so grateful for my dogs. The endless pleasure they give me is irreplaceable. Here's a favourite moment from today!

Nice letter from a puppy owner

Hi Mary Ann,

 

Just wanted to send you an updated pic of Diesel.  He is turning into such a handsome boy.  He has lost all his fuzz except for the ears but I doubt they will be long.  Seems to be smoothing out from the back end up and his ears are the last to go.  We call him ALF in the meantime as he resembles the TV character.  He is doing great, well behaved and extremely smart.  Cuddly and a great companion with me, inquisitive and curious alongside our 15 month old daughter – they like to play toys together, and a regular rough and tumble wrestler with Craig (much to both their delight)  He weighed 73 pounds on Friday at 7 months old and has huge feet he is still growing into.  He is also turning into a great protector – he has a deep loud bark and uses it for all coming up our driveway and to the door.  He is perfect and exactly what we wanted and needed.  Thank you for your excellent choice. J

No Puppies This Spring 8-(

I have already let the waiting list of people know that there will not be puppies at Guardian Angel Shepherds this Spring.  Indy has decided that this was not the time for her to have puppies.  She is healthy and happy and that's all that matters. 

It makes me sad to have to tell excited future owners that it will be many more months before there is another litter.  In particular an eight year old girl with cancer.  Oh how I wish I had a puppy for her now.  And for all the others too.  I know how exciting it is to get a new member of the family. 

I want to thank all of you who have decided to wait until my next litter is available.  It means a lot to me that you believe in us and are willing to wait for something so exciting.  All I can say is that it is worth the wait.  I know it is.

Must Be Good!

Just got these pictures from my son! It must be good to have a GSD on it!

Dog Food

I was just preparing some of my dogs' dinner and thought you might like to see what goes into it. On the left is a bag of ground up elk & deer. These are trimmings that would normally just be thrown out. I've spent many days collecting it off of the bones to feed later in the winter. There's organic apples organic spinach, free run eggs, and carrots. I add to that wild salmon fish oil, kelp, and a vitamin supplement. Depending on if the meat content has any crushed bone within it I may have to add calcium via bonemeal to the dish. The recipe may change season to season but that's what they're getting right now.

Cheetah needs a home!

This is Cheetah. Cheetah was kept hoping there was possibility of her being added to my breeding program. As you can see from her left ear, she unfortunately did not make the cut. Unfortunately I have to try and use my business brain and not my dog loving heart and find a new home for Cheetah.

She is two years old. Has lots of energy but will also lie by the fire if you so require. Her cost is $2500 untrained or $3500 with a month of training on her.

Great Grandma

This is Kahlua. She came from a bitch bred in Germany but the litter was born here. She will be 13 years old in March. She is still healthy and has no hip problems. She still runs up stairs & she still leaps onto the couch! Pretty good for a great Grandma!
