Dear Andreas and Linda.
Here are some pictures of Milly – she loves the remaining May snow and cold Lake Superior water. Definitely meant to be a northern dog! Owning a Zauberberg dog is indeed a privilege. Having waited my entire life (a long time!) to have a German Shepherd, I have had the chance to scrutinize many breeders and kennels. Your breeding and training philosophies cannot be matched. I especially appreciated being able to trust that you’d place an appropriate dog with me. You didn’t let me down. Milly is a gorgeous dog with the temperament to match. My decision for you to do some initial training was a good one for me. My clicking has less “shutter lag” for the “snapshot” now. The fact that Milly performed for me from the onset is a testament to your training abilities. Please write a book – your techniques just can’t be found in current references (believe me, I’ve read them). I couldn’t have done it without your patient guidance. As a result we are off to a great start. She is a delight to live with – confident, well mannered (for a puppy), socialized and draws compliments wherever we go. And she goes everywhere – even to work. It’s wonderful that you are there for my many questions. Thanks for the honor of being a Zauberberg K9 GSD owner.
Best regards. Jan Heikenen
