Mockba is great and a second one I would expect to be just as great! I took him for his first hotel weekend last weekend and he was fantastic! My niece is the production coordinator for Extreme Makeover Home Edition so we went to see her in action in Toledo Ohio. Mockba met all the TV designers for the show that were in our hotel and they all loved him! Liz

Hi, Wendy -

I'm attaching all of the "Air Köna" pictures for you as they're really a riot! You'd have to see it to believe it, but this crazy dog actually understands that the objective of the game is to get and keep the ball and dribble it! She can't shoot, obviously, but she will take the ball and run with it and is very good at guiding it along on the ground. It's hilarious!! She's very aggressive and it's not at all unusual to turn and see her flying by at eye level in pursuit of the ball! Ha! Ha! I worried about her doing that at first . . . but her vet said she's a STRONG dog with GREAT hips and not to get too concerned. She tore a dew claw once, but that's been her only sports related injury so far. (Knock on wood!)

That's so funny about Minime and her new cat friend. You probably don't recall, but Köna's best friend is our cat, Puffer. She saved Puffer's life while we were living in California and the two were inseparable while Puffer lived outside. Now that we've moved east, Puffer is now enjoying the luxurious life of an indoor cat but we're able to let her outside from time to time as Köna keeps a watchful eye on her. Conversely, sometimes Köna gets to come in and visit and they lay side by side. Karen

Have a wonderful 2009, and thanks for your help in getting ( Ebony ) Abby, she is a joy and so smart. She watches TV, loves anything with dogs and horses, anything with motion, also children she is amazing to watch, I took a picture of her watching TV, I'll send it when I get it downloaded. Hope your Christmas and New years Eve were great. Irene (Ebony is a sister to Irie, Cooper & Kissammee.)

Hi Wendy, We call our pup Ginger. Our pug dog is named Zoe which ends very similiarly with Barbie so we thought of something else. Her coat is the same color as the spice. She is the BEST girl. She weighs 75 lbs coming up on her first birthday and is the most lovable, fun, well mannered, good tempered very enjoyable girl. Your dogs are always the best family dogs. She kept her beautiful sable color. I don't have a scanner so when I develop the pictures I will send you one. If ever you need a family reference as to the mild temperment of your dogs I would be pleased to rave about them. Sincerely, Nancy Corriveau Santa Rosa, CA (2003)

Here's how we got back in touch with Penni, who has Elijah. Find him on the Our Dog Family page.

Wendy,

I am not sure you will remember me, but two summers ago we got a pup from you.

That pup is now a giant dog, weighing in at about 135-40. He is not overweight, but a large guy.

He is one fabulous dog. don't have room here to tell you what great things about him you should know...suffice it to say that the dog never had to be obedience trained. He did all commands without a second thought. He heeled without a leash from the time he was about 8 weeks old. I could tell you more...

He has sired his first litter and TWO of his puppies are now headed for law enforcement. That NEVER happens. One puppy at best....

We lost our best bitch this week to a veterenary mistake. We are currently looking to replace her. Do you have any other lines outside of Leo? Or, do you have a reccomendation? We want to buy outside California. It would be wonderful to find another solid black.

Please let me know by email or phone. Penni Tyler And that's how Penni got Lilly! and we got Zeus and Apollo when Lilly and Elijah were bred. Isn't that great? :)

Hello Wendy,

This is Mike and Joni Zundel. We purchased Zeus (Blue Boy) and he is such a wonderful dog. I thought that you might be interested in a couple of pictures and if you would like more as he progresses we would be happy to send them to you. Feel free to post him on your site if you please. He was the pick of the litter and to us he is just everything we have ever dreamed of. I am currently looking into working him into doing some underground mine rescue. Im an underground miner and would love to be able to take my dog to work with me. To my knowlage there is nothing like this. He would be the first and the company that I work for would probably pilot the program. If you have any suggestions let me know I would be eager to hear them. Thanks for such a wonderful breed of shepherds.

Wendy I can't tell you how SMART and SWEET Cheyenne is. She is growing so fast. I can't pick her up any more. She has the sweetest personality you ever saw. I tell her something only once and she minds beautifully. She loves to play and run and with 30 acres she is all over the place. If I call her she immediately minds me. I still give her only the Flint River Ranch food. Just got her last shot today - the vet can't believe how beautiful she is. And as you said her ears stand STRAIGHT UP.

She is the love of my life. -- Mary Gualco (2003)

Hi Wendy,

Happy New Year to you and your family. Hope all is well with you. I have attached two pictures for you from Kira. On one of them she is 4 months old and on the other she is 10 months. She is so beautiful, I love just looking at her. She is very smart and her character is wonderful, she is a big sweetheart, but as well a great watch dog. Our older dog Sasha is so much more happy now that we have Kira.

Talk to you soon,

Hi Wendy,

We are so very pleased with Isaac's demeanor. He is playful enough for Emmy, but we see how mature he is getting, calm, patient, and sweet with children. Yesterday we met some very tiny children in the vet's office and they wanted to pet him. I had no reservations to allow them

to pet him and he licked them back, very sweetly. We just love him.

He weighs 119 lbs. I am wondering how we can tell if he is gaining too

much weight? Should we be concerned? He eats more than he did before we

got Emmy, who eats many times a day. Is there a reason to be concerned?

Thank you,

Carol Cartier.

Hi Wendy,

I just happened on your website this week when clearing out my computer. It was fun looking at your dogs. I still have Chloe (Black Magic Chloe) and she has been a wonderful dog. I am sending some pictures of her at the beach last month. At six years of age, she is at her prime. June (June Irhazy
