"He is amazing with children, puppies and people..."

Hi Walter and Joanne:
Anton von Monroe Haus (aka Niko, a Wilko/Lativa son) is now 16 months old. It seems impossible that it has been that long since I called you looking for a German Shepherd with a SOUND TEMPERAMENT. I had been researching German Shepherd breeders for about 7 months before I located your website and I haven't looked back since. He is truly what I had hoped he would be. He is amazing with children, puppies and people and SO REGAL looking. Everywhere I go with him, I get constant compliments about his beauty and behavior as you both have just seen with our visit to your home last week. I absolutely love him and you both should feel so proud of the results of your breeding program. I also love the fact that you are always there to answer any questions I have. "Niko" and I will keep in touch. Yes, Joanne I know I spoil him but why not... he is awesome. Thank you again, CeCe Fagan

Hi Walter and Joanne,

Well, we love him. Diego was wonderful on the ride home last night. We played for a while when we got home and he went down for the night at 10pm and slept until 6am this morning. Didn't make a peep all night. Today, we had a blast in the snow and spent some time reinforcing his training that you did so wonderfully with him. He truly is a wonderful puppy, had run of the whole first floor today and just stays with us. When he gets tired he just curls up on one of the rugs and naps for a while (so long as I stay in the same room). He has definitely stolen our hearts already. We can't thank you both enough for sharing all your knowledge and for raising such a wonderful puppy. Many thanks and we'll stay in touch and keep the pictures coming.

"...we have never had a dog like Drago. He is the love of our life...”

Hi Walter & Joann,

Hope all is well in Exeter. Donna and I wanted to send you a Happy Holiday wish and tell you that we have never had a dog like Drago. He is the love of our life. His intelligence, demeanor and overall breeding is nothing short of amazing. He is a confident and "Best of Breed" dog. He no longer requires a crate when we are at work and is very good with people, unless he senses a threat, then "LOOK OUT".

I have attached his Christmas picture from this year and a portrait I took of him a while back. Feel free to put them on your website. Also, now that he is 2 years old, if you ever want to consider him for stud let me know. We hope we can stop by one weekend when we are in the area so you can see him. He is magnificent.

Again, Happy Holidays and stay in touch.

Ray & Donna Larson

We just wanted to drop you a note to update you on Tucker (a.k.a. Duke). He really is amazing. I know that he will continue to change and grow but he is turning out to be a very beautiful dog. He has very distinguishable markings and everyone that sees him can't help but comment on him. Both of his ears are now fully up and strong too.

All the hard work and time spent is paying off! He is doing a great job going to the door to tell us when he has to "go" and is doing very well on the leash for walks. All this snow has really put a damper on walking, but playing in the snow with the kids makes up for it. He shows incredible restraint for a puppy his age, whether it be with knowing when and how hard to play and bite things or people and with establishing his boundaries in the house (using no gates).

Anyway, just wanted to say "Thank You" again and send along a picture. This was taken last week which was about 11 weeks! He is growing like a weed.

Happy Holidays!

"They're the best!”

Hi Walter & Joanne,
We haven't sent you a photo in some time; so, thought you might like this photo of Arrow & Queue looking forward to Christmas. They're the best!!!!
Hope all is well with you guys,
Bruce & Sheila

Walter and Joanne:

Hope this note finds you both well. We've been very busy up here in Swampscott. Your baby, Zeda, is a love. She's such an outgoing puppy. I've attached a couple of pictures of her for you. One was taken at the local beach. She loves chasing the seagulls! I've enrolled Zeda in Doggie Good Citizen classes, and she's tops in her class. You can almost see the wheels turning when she's learning a new task. Zeda is also 40 lbs. as of her last vet visit. We haven't had any "accidents" in the house for two weeks now (knock on wood), and are diligently trying to get her accustomed to our cats. They don't really want anything to do with Zeda, although Zeda would love to play with them. She's not aggressive towards the cats, she just wants to jump around and play, and they are intimidated, so they hide. In time, I'm sure. I'll keep you posted on her development. Thank you again for letting us have her.

Dear Walter & Joanne,

We want to thank you for bringing us together with Juno (Yuli). We're just so thrilled and very proud of her. She's incredibly smart, healthy, beautiful and has a lovely personality. We cannot take her anywhere without being stopped on the street, as though she's a celebrity. She's loves to learn new things & then does so very quickly. We are both very grateful to you for so kindly & patiently answering all the questions we've had.

Best Regards,
Diane and Ken

Hi, Walter and Joanne,

It's amazing to think that Ranger just celebrated his 2nd birthday! He is so terrific. Our lives would just be empty without him. He's talkative, loveable, handsome and funny. What a companion! He loves being outside and chasing toys, balls and especially squirrels. Whenever we go anywhere, people always comment on how handsome he is and how friendly he is. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to share our lives with his, what a treat.
Happy Memorial Day.

"We went to our first AKC trial... and he did great!”

Hi Walter and Joanne-
I wanted to write and give you an update on Axle, Andrjuscha's son. We moved to Maine on February 1st, and he is adjusting very well. He was thrilled to play in all of the snow we got this year (approx. 20ft!). He could never get enough of it.....
We went to our first AKC trial this past weekend, and all in all he did great! We actually took home his first 'Q' towards his Novice Jumpers title, as well as a first place ribbon for that run as well. Needless to say I am very proud of him! He really is a pleasure to work with.
I hope all is well with you both. Take care, talk to you soon.... Andrea

Hi Walter and Joanne,
We are having a wonderful time with Gunther {Andrjuscha and Nola son}. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. Even our elderly dogs, our Yellow Lab, Maggie and Golden Retriever, Winnie have grown to love him. He plays with them each day and has brought new life and energy to them. He has been wonderful with our two year-old granddaughter, Veda, just as you said he would be. Her mom, our daughter Kate wants to eventually have a Monroehaus German Shepherd. Our Daughter, Jillian , who you met when we picked up Gunther, is home for the summer and has had a great time socializing Gunther each day. When we visit Kate in Burlington, VT, Gunther is the main attraction on Church St. (the tourist spot). He also was a hit at the K-9 Olympics (just a spectator) in Storrs, CT last weekend. He sat quietly with an 18 month-old. Many people wanted to know where we got him. Thanks for producing such a great dog. We hope we can give him the training to bring him to his fullest potential. He will definitely get enough affection! When do you think we should expect his floppy ear to stand up? It has become his trademark.
