Hello Camila and Tom,
Just sending an end of the week update. This dog is awesome. He is truely what GSD's were meant to be. I truely think he was meant to live with the family here. We called him Bucky but soon realized he loved to be called buck buck or bug bug, either way he likes it. What an awesome dude to have in our family. We introduced him to the neighbors and he seems to think they're pretty cool. We've taken him to the field in the back, the park, the canal, grocery store, drive through, gas pump (it is N.J.) and the river walk- he seems to love all of them equally. Everyday he is in one of the cars going somewhere, which he never complains about. He has a cow shank that he is smitten with, when the day is over and everyone is laying on the couch and watching T.V. He eats his dry food throughout the day but knows when we are in the kitchen something good is going to happen. Smart? This guy is probably smarter then me! Is great with strangers, but he will take or leave em' except if it is the middle of the night when he's watching the house- then it is a different story. He is very nice with other dogs, not overly interested- likes to say hello and get on his way. By the way, he does things our last GSD would never ever do. He walks over greated waterfalls, walks down open basement stairs, he never has any fear, nervousness, shyness or timid. A very confident stable dude. I could go on and on, but everytime he encounters something that I think he might make him nervous about he proves me wrong

We wouldn't trade him for all of the tea and china in the world. We are very thankful that you have raised such stable dogs. Now, he is not a push over- he loves to play games with us and let us know what he thinks. He barks wildly when he is in the yard or in the house and something just doesn't seem right to him. And of course he has a look that only his mother and we could love ( a true GSD, not a cocker or lab). When people see him coming-they cross the street. If they only knew how sweet he really was.

What it boils down to is; they don't come any better then Buck Buck. He is the real deal. A beautiful dog physically and mentally. I have left him for quite long period of time and he refuses to go to the bathroom in the house EVER. He loves his den when he wants to relax. Buck Buck has an awesome appetite. He is very curious of other people, not blown away by them, but accepting. Loves us to death, if you consdier tail wagging, face licking, and following everyone wherever they go (including the bathroom) a good sign. Right now we are working on basic obedience which he has excelled at so far. If he doesn't obey a command it is not because he doesn't understand, it is because he wants to "bust our chops", he has a very good sense of humor.

Well, I think thats is enough for now- I can honestly say that is this is the best money I have spent in my life EVER. So, rest assured we are ALL very happy with Buck Buck. If you are still in the business in the future I know exactly where I will come to get my next GSD. And that goes for anyone else looking for an awesome dog.

Thanks,
Brendan & Moyra

Hey guys,

I just wanted to show you some pics of Vandal's first water training at the lake with the Search and Rescue group. I hope to eventually train him in water recovery for cadaver when we are through his tracking certification. That will be quite some time anyway, though. I hope you guys are doing well, I know it must be a very busy time for you. I think of you both often. Well, as often as he eats another piece of lawn furniture. :)



Take care,

Mendy
