"Yogi"
Hi! .... I just wanted to say that Yogi is doing great.  I love that dog so much.  He is so special.  I don't know if it is because he is so darn cute or sweet, or his personality, but  he is just wonderful.   Thanks for letting me have the best puppy!

"Klaus"
I love little Klaus. He is very affectionate, is learning fast and he loves to go to the barn and do chores with me and Jessie.  He has no fear of the sheep and goats and runs around the barn like he owns the place.  He and Jessie get along great too.  They play and Jessie even lets Klaus eat out of her dish with her.  He fits in here perfect.

"Petunia"

"Praia"
Praia is such a gem of a dog.  We haven't really started training with Praia yet, but it's clear that she's a fast learner. Lisa taught her to sit and offer a paw right away.  Thanks for breeding these great dogs.

THANK YOU JIM FOR OUR LITTLE PRIDE AND JOY !!!!
"The Complete English Shepherd Guide"
I just wanted to let you know that I had requested and was given a copy of your book for Christmas. I read the whole thing the very next day and just wanted to thank you for putting all of that information together about this very special breed. The subject of diet was especially interesting as it not only showed how to feed your dogs better food but to do so more cheaply! Anyway, well done and Have a Happy New Year Jim!

"Marley & Cocoa"
We're having so much fun with them. They are always ready for any adventure and love to lounge around and relax with us too. I can't believe how well they adapt to most any situation. They love all of us but they really love Emma. They're kind of like her siblings.  They both love having each other around. I'm so glad we took both of them.

"Yukon"
What a wonderful dog.  I believe he was a perfect fit for our family and lifestyle .  Yukon really enjoys living at the ranch with all the other animals around to interact with .  This is a smart dog too. I can teach him something sometimes in one session .

"AppleYard"
Love your website and all your dogs. I see so many that look like ones I raised.  My last one died 14 years ago but over a period of almost 25 years I kept a line going that my father had developed for 65 years. Totally brilliant dogs and oh how I miss them. They were bred with and decended from Lady Donna, who, as I recall was the first English Shepherd registered in the US.  Your dogs are the closest to the line I had of any dogs I have seen... I could have been looking at one of my albums.
Thanks for the memories...

"The Complete English Shepherd Guide"
We also found your book on English Shepherds and bought it from Amazon, what a great read we are sure it will help us a lot in bringing her (Wizz) up. 
Once again your book is a great read.

"Shep"
I see that Rowdy and Shep just had another litter with one clear sable. If that pup is as good as their last clear sable, Bowles Canadian Shep, then some one will get a very fine dog. Shep and I walk every day in Scout Valley this winter and he loves the snow.  He is a perfect dog in every way and gets along well with other dogs and people. He is my constant companion.  He is the hit of the City of Orillia and everyone mentions how beautiful he is.
