He (Shortstop) is a very smart and sweet dog. Loves to play and cuddle. He is almost four months now and knows how to sit, lay down, give you paw and go to his bed. He is a little escape artist and figured out how to get around every baby gate put up. The vet said that he was the best looking beagle they had ever seen and that the breeder that we got him from did an amazing job. He very friendly plays very well with my three dogs at my parents house and the bulldog here at school. Thank you so much and we will definitely be in contact for our next dog from y'all.Thanks, Brock

Toni is a wonderful little Beagle puppy :) she weight 20LBS now her legs are shorter than the others but she holds her own when they play. She still has her cow lick on her head the vet says it's a birth mark or some sort :). she has learned Sit, stay, speak, & down, she can also catch her treats when we throw them to her. she it a little skiddish of new people but she warms up fairly quick.
Dad says she's real funny to watch when she plays alone, she'll throw her toy in the air and catch them. She has about 3 holes dug to china in the back yard now, and oddly enough she likes water. She went swimming with a few times this past summer. I steal her from my dad now & then to spend the night with me. Dara

Since the holidays are upon us, I thought I'd send you a quick update on our Molly who we got from you guys in August 2010. She went hunting this season in Georgia and in West Virginia and brought herself home a good amount of squirrels! As of two weeks ago, we have now moved to the Azores, Portugal and Molly is loving it here. We are getting really excited about taking her and her sister, Dixie, to go play in the ocean. I hope you two have a great holiday season! -Ashley

Figured I'd send in an update. Eva just finished her beginning training. She learned to sit, stay, lay down, come(most of the time), leave it, drop it, shake etc. She is so smart and has such a sweet personality. She loves all the attention she gets when we go out, and has to say hello to everyone. Thanks from the whole family.

It’s Kayla and Ranger reporting in! He is eight month old and doing great. He is such an awesome boy. In July, Ranger was awarded his AKC Star Puppy certificate, and is currently working on his K9 Good Citizen certificate. He does so well when it comes to training. I take him everywhere I can and he loves to go. He always gets lots of compliments too, and I’ve had many people ask where I got him from. Thank you for sending out my email to the other puppy owners from his litter. I’ve gotten him together with his sister Eva, formally known as July. They play so well together. Just wanted to say thank you for raising such great pups!  Kayla and Ranger  Ps. Here’s a couple of pictures of Ranger and Eva!

We wanted to drop you a line to show how Eli is developing into a magnificent adult German Shepherd Dog. He's beautiful, we couldn't ask for a better dog and companion.  He's learned to catch Frisbee while at full run!  Tanya and Charlie

My husband Terry and I adopted a beagle from you last July (July 24, 2010) when he was 7 weeks old. We named him Max. He's grown into an amazing dog and my husband and I couldn't be happier with him. He's smart, obedient and becoming a good rabbit dog. He gets along great with our cats and all the other dogs (and kids) in our neighborhood love him. Our family is complete now that we have Max.  We are thinking of getting another beagle in the next year or so, so I am sure we will adopt another beagle from Shepherd Hill Farm.   Thanks for everything.

Just though we would send you another update on Blake (formerly Abby of Justice and Liberty). She is such a love! Full of energy and growing like a weed - 50 lbs at her 5 month check up with the longest tail! ... she is absolutely gorgeous and very smart. She will fetch a tennis ball or frisbee day and night! She is completely house broken, knows the difference between her toys and our shoes (even with her heavy teething now) and does great in her crate and on leash. We adore her!!! We are heading to the mountains this weekend and I hope she will enjoy swimming in the spring there - a new adventure for her! Hope all is well at Shepherd Hill Farm!  Sarah

Onyx is growing amazingly! He adjusted well and quickly to his new life with us, was quickly house trained and learned several commands within the first several weeks. Today, he knows sit, down and paw; learning most of these by 10 weeks! Even more amazing he knew how to play fetch the every first night without any guidance! Onyx is a becoming a great companion and friend. Onyx has been showing classic GSD traits since day one. One of his favorite activities is sitting at our front window and watching over the neighborhood and house.Today he’s a happy 15 week old puppy.  Regards, Katie and Sean

Just another quick update on Onyx and a few photos that I thought were too cute not to share.
Today, Onyx is very happy 8 months old GSD. Here are a couple silly photos we recently took with Onyx in his favorite spot in the house - the front window that looks over the nieghborhood.  Katie & Sean

She is such a wonderful puppy!  We all love her a lot!  Our vet and the staff are quite impressed with her and how smart/well behaved she is-they called for your information because one of their clients is interested in a German Shepherd. I passed along your info with high recommendations! : )  Take care and thanks again for our dear "little" Reine!   Mary

Just dropping a line to give an update and send pix of Rico Havoc our GSD we got from you last July.  He is from Black Ice's and Yano's litter of 05/12/10.  As you can see he has grown up to be a big handsome boy.  He is such a good natured dog, we couldn't ask for a better boy, he and Maggie our other GSD hit it off right away and are nearly inseparable.  He is definitely a Momma's Boy even though my husband wanted to get a male shepherd for himself, but I guess Rico had other plans and I don't mind one bit, he follows me around everywhere and sleeps next to me everynight!  He is very smart, observant and picks up on thing very quickly and has a big silly quirky personality that can't be beat.  He's great with people young and old alike and he plays great with other dogs. He is a very special boy and we love him so very much and are so thankful for you guys allowing us to bring him into our family.  Dena

1 week and 2 days since picking up Dakota (Codi).  As an 8 week old, she took to the crate immediately and I can say is comfortably crate trained, although she trained herself.  She displays all the classic traits that everyone says a GSD should have, high prey drive, intelligence, confidence and a calm demeanor – for a puppy or better described as a baby, we’re amazed at how easy she is.   I did a lot of research since putting our previous GSD down looking for the “one”, we found her through you.  I don’t know what you’ve done – your pups are amazing!. My vet wanted your contact info for clients that ask for GSD pups as well.  Anyone wants a reference tell them to call me. Larry

Here is another picture of Lucy during her obedience training this past week.  She has achieved her S.T.A.R. Puppy Certification and is on way to testing for her CGC Certification.  I am a german shepherd owner for life!

 My daughter and I bought pups and we wanted to let you know how they are doing! You both seem to care so much. The brothers are doing so well... Coal has a very special gift. He is SO tender,careful and gentle with elderly people and young children. It is really amazing! He is so ROUGH with his brother but with the children and grandmothers he goes into another gear...He has a sweet spirit.
  Yoshi is with Kristen almost always, she feels much safer working alone at her stable as he is protective of her. He is her guardian angel. He is not mean at all just not friendly, he has eyes only for her and she thinks that is "so awesome"...Thank you so much for breeding the best dogs in the world.   Sarah & Kristen

Just thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that Sasha is doing great.  She's the smartest dog we've ever had, we have to put the child lock on in the car because she figured out how to roll the windows down.  She loves fetching her tennis ball and will find it anywhere we hide it.

 I just wanted to send you a couple pics of Hank. He's a bright and sweet pup. 



September 25, 2010
I just wanted to send you both a note to let you know Molly is adjusting well to her new home. She's doing great and is fitting into our family wonderfully. We absolutely love her, even when she decides to be overly vocal. :)
-Ashley
p.s. The second picture of her is her "game watching shirt" but don't worry she doesn't wear it too often! Only when the WVU Mountaineers play.

Matilda is doing wonderfully! We absolutely love her! Her crate and obedience trainings are going great. She has adjusted beautifully to our home and family. Thanks so much for this much loved addition to our family!

Just a line to let you know that L'Vis settled down in the house with the utmost ease.  Lucille went crazy over him, her personal baby toy.  Tomorrow will be a month since we've brought him home and he is so sweet and silly!  He has such a different personality than Lucille.  Lucille is extremely headstrong and stubborn and her sense of smell usually gets her in trouble for not listening to us at times, but she is the princess of our household) and super spoiled!!  L'Vis on the other hand is such a clown, he gets super excited about everything and he LISTENS!!


(Dexter update-December 9, 2010)
To the vet today and he is a healthy growing 101 pounds! Smart and learning he is very happy.


June 23, 2010

Attaching another picture of Dexter. He is 40 pounds now and look how long his beautiful legs are!  He is doing great and continues to love the water. Knows and listens to many requests ( sit, stay, paw, kisses, no bite (still wants to tho'!), brings his bowl to us if any is empty, go to the car for a ride, ).  Such a smart guy, we love him and he loves us.


May 19, 2010

Dexter is growing like a weed.  Knows his name and "sit".  Loves to play and is very happy.  He rides with us on the mower and Matt's 4- wheeler. Sits up like he has riden before. Doesn't chase or shy from vehicles or loud sounds. Sits in the back seat very well. No running crazy around. Such a good good pup!!  Vet says all is well.

I wanted to share with you the pictures of my handsome puppy Bagel... He's about 8 months and grew a lot...  
And I discovered that when I practice singing (I am an opera singer) he sings and follows me..I wanted to show that too.. But I can't.. I'll try to send you when I get a nice camcorder. Here are some pictures of Bagel since the first day of new home!!


November 22, 2009
...I have included two pictures of her, one sleeping and the other of her attacking one of her favorite toys. The vet says she believes she will be a rather large female at around 90lbs and is in perfect health. We just wanted to keep you guys up to date and say thanks again for the wonderful GSD! (Everyone simply LOVES her personality and longer coat!)



November 10, 2009 - Just wanted to send you a couple updated pictures. Achilles is around 6 months old and approximately 60 - 65 pounds. Great temperament, highly intelligent and a true friend of the family. He's great with the kids, neighborhood pets and guest. He's a great investment...




Subject: Lobo has grown!
Hello!
...I'm trying to send an updated picture of Lobo. He is 73lbs and doing great. He's been very easy to train, learns things very quickly. He loves to take a ride in my Jeep. And he loves the sprinkler and hose! He's not too big on swimming yet, but he'll play in the sprinkler with Brandon for an hour! He's become such a big part of our family already. He's asleep at my feet even as I'm typing. We are all very glad that he's with us. We hope that you are well.

Hello To the Henshaws!
I wanted to send you an updated photo of Lobo on his first birthday. We are so happy to have him as part of our family. He's so smart, has trained very easily, and is head over heels in love with our 8 year old son. His favorite game is shagging baseballs. When our son practices hitting, we never have to be in the outfield, Lobo loves to chase them down and bring them back! He never did get into swimming this summer, but he loves the hose & sprinkler. He's no trouble to keep clean, he will get in the shower stall any time! Lobo has turned into an excellent watch dog and lets us know if anything is here. He lets whoever comes by know that he is here as well. We've all enjoyed watching him turn from an adorable puppy into the beautiful dog that he is today.

"...I got Sammy from you.  I thought you guys would like a picture of him.  He is a great dog!!!!  We love him so much; he fits in our family perfectly.  He has learned to sit, stay, lay down, and give you his paw.  He is really coming into his own personality.  He weighs 42lbs own.   He loves to play fetch with a ball, and he loves sticks.  We taking him for walks in the evening (when it’s not raining) and he comes home with a stick every time."

"Hi Henshaws,
Here is Olaf at 7 months old. A couple of days ago he took his last class with Ralph Smith and graduated in basic obedience. We are very proud of him, he is sweet and beautiful. Ralph thinks that he has great potential for further training, he seems to understand everything and is very quick to learn. One day soon Ralph will come out and take pictures of him to use on his website -I will keep you posted."

        
7 month old Olaf

Mr. Henshaw - I wanted to share with you the latest photos of our pup that we adopted from you in January, he is 5 months old in the pictures. He is growing so fast! He has proven to be a highly intelligent and loving addition to our family. I started his basic obedience early (because he picked up commands so quickly) and we will graduate from that class on May 2. After that we are enrolled in Basic Advanced class. Once that is certified I may work him in agility or obedience trials, depending on where he excels. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife and Rick and I both want to thank you for this wonderful addition to our family.
