The Gohrt Family and their Schutzhund
Two years ago, my wife Eloise and three little children were carjacked in the gated community were we live. My wife noticed a man following her in the store. She notified the cashier and left the store. My wife played a game with the kids to hurry them up without scaring them; first one to the truck chooses the ice cream. As my wife ran with the kids, the bad man also started running. As my wife got the kids into the Suburban the doors automatically locked. The man struggled to enter as my wife sped off.
While I was out of town I received the phone call from my wife explaining the details to what happened. I was speechless, and for a moment I realized the only thing worth in life is family. I cancelled my meeting and rushed home.
Unfortunately I need to travel for business, I can't always be around to protect the family, and I made a promise to my wife and kids that this will never happen again. Unfortunately in life there will always be bad people, NO matter where you live! I researched many K9 centers. The only one who took the time to talk with us and discuss our needs was Rosie. The other company's just tried to sell a pricy dog. Rosie explained in detail, She sent video's, she prepared for 4 day training at our residence with an outstanding Trainer Sven Viebahn, who simulated real life events, such as break ins, car jacking etc.
To be honest, having three little ones in the home, and always having a lot of company over we were concerned that the dogs would bit. These dogs are Trained NOT TO THINK on their own. You are the master and only You give the commands. Honestly, we could NOT ask for better dogs. Thanks to Rosie, we sleep better at night and I am at ease now when I need to travel. Though alarm systems are good, cell back ups are better, gun's help too, but nothing beats....PACKEN!
Viel Danke Rosie,
Grub, GREG, ELOISE, SEAN, SCOTT UND SARAH GOHRT
Jim Riley and his German Shepherd Crassus
Rosie I wanted to drop you a note saying "all is well". Here is a picture of Crassus in his favorite seat. The other is with his good friend Mia. Mia is my daughter in laws pug. My friend and I are doing pretty well, all considered. I hope all is well with you and your family. I will be forever grateful for Crassus.
The difference he has made in my life could not be adequately descibed with words alone. You have a friend in NH and are welcome to stop by, if you ever get in the neighborhood. Again that Morfina is one pretty little lass. I noticed Crassus taking a good look at her photo. He's quite the ladies man. Where ever he goes the ladies all are crazy about him. Again I hope that all of yours are in good health, and I hope to hear from you in the future.
Thanks again Rosie and God Bless.

Honorable Richard Evans and Schutzhund "Scott"
My whole family and friends are delighted with Scotts arrival. Scott is so well trained, loving and has fantastic manners. He makes us all feel really safe in our home which is one of the reasons we were so keen to 'adopt' him as one of the family. He is also quiet and relaxed which is great but when needed will protect us like his own family which is fantastic.

Galland Family and Schutzhund Wiko
Hi Rosie,
Just wanted to drop you a note, and some photos. Wiko has been absolutely wonderful, he has far surpassed all of my expectations!
He is great with all of my kids, he is an invaluable part of our family! He is kind, and loving with all family and friends,
yet when needed is absolutely incredible with his protection. He is a joy to work with.
I would also like to thank you for being such a great help in getting Wiko for our family, and especially Dean Calderon for being such a great help in getting Wiko to us, and training / working with my family. Dean was very professional, courteous, and a great source of information about our new family member. I would recommend You, and Dean to anyone looking for a professional, high quality, loving companion.
Thank You!

Diana Davidson and Logan
Hi Rosie,
I am so impressed with how professionally you conducted yourself. Previously, I had had a bad experience previously over the purchase of a GSD; therefore, I approached you cautiously. You assuaged all my concerns with your caring attention to my situation. You really listened to my requirements, discussed my individual situation, patiently answered all my questions in detail, educated me and was totally professional. It was apparent to me how seriously you approached placing your dogs; this inspired my respect and admiration. You then sent me the most perfect dog in the world! But you didn't stop there. You followed up afterward to make sure Logan and I were getting along and all was well.
Logan fits into my home and gets along with my 2 cats, which was very important to me. We truly are a happy, loving family! Logan is really a friend and companion to me. There is so much love between us. We have developed a very strong and close bond. I live alone and with him in the house, I always feel perfectly safe. I am also looking forward to doing some advanced training with him. That should be tons of fun. He is very responsive to my commands and extremely easy to handle. We appear to be completely in tune with one another. The comments I get from people are: what a beautiful dog; how well behaved he is; how much he loves me.
Rosie, you sent me the most wonderful dog in the world!!!
Get a GSD and get it from Rosie!!!!

A Picnic with Friends
by Apache
I thought you might be wondering how I am doing. I've been with June about a week or so. And as you will soon see I am having a great time with all of my new friends and family. Yesterday, June had a picnic and some of her friends came over with their canine companions to meet me. It was only 98 degrees outside-so we had a great time.
Let me introduce them to you. Chardonnay, June's 14 year old Belgian Sheepdog, is queen bee around here. She rules with a deep growl that would make a lion stand back (but I found out she is all bark and no bite, so I curl up with her on the coach at night). Nala, June's year old Rhodesia Ridgeback, has absolutely no bark or bite.
She's teaching me to play-mostly about 5 AM we do circles on June's bed. Champion, the black and tan cattle dog, belongs to June's friends Paula and Dave. As you can see from the picture, June thinks she is in charge around here. She put us on a "rest break" since we had been running around like crazy.
Champ and I had quite a time together. He keeps chasing me-- until I agree to play a little tug of war with one of my toys. Of course I always win whatever game we play. By the end of the picnic I had piled up a few toys under my favorite tree.
BY the way, June has taught me there are two types of toys. There are the toys that we just have fun with and play with June, other people and other dogs. And I have learned not to tear these up. Then there are my "favorite" toys that Dean gave June -- that she only lets me have when we go to the park or other places to work. I get to grab on to these with a full bite and show all of my strength and courage. This is still my most fun thing to do.
And June and I sure spend a lot of times at Starbucks where she meets clients-and we go out to eat at a lot of different local restaurants. There is this New York Style Deli that serves me my own bowl of cool water-before June gets her tea. I see lots of dogs there. But I'll tell you all about that when June gets some pictures from there.
I also met my new vets, Dr. Renshaw and Dr. Brown. They told me I am the best German Shepherd they have ever met. What do you expect? I yawned when they drew blood-- and I crawled into Dr. Brown's lap and gave him a big kiss when he sat on the floor next to me.
So as you can see, I have everything totally under control. And I am learning some English to with my Flemish -- like "go lay down" means to go to my rug or under my tree and hang out.
Talk to you later,
Apache
Dear Rosie and Dean,
Apache is continuing to be an absolutely wonderful companion. Please see the pictures/story shown below.
Sincerely... June,
