Hello Dr. Banfe:Just wanted to let you know that Solo (the world’s greatest pup) is doing great!  He is growing incredibly fast, the red is really starting to show and his ears are making their first attempts at coming up.  At just over 10 weeks he already knows “sit” , “down”, and “come”, and is relatively well crate trained with me getting up only once in the night to take him out.  Your method definitely has produced a solid, stable pup that was incredibly well socialized from day one.  Having seen the kennels (when I picked up Solo) and seen the sweet, lovable temperament of both Parla and Kati it is no wonder the pups are so nice.  Anyway, thanks again.  In an age when the internet can make anyone look good, you guys are the real deal.Best regards,

Scott Rogan, DVM

Just wanted to send you a few pictures taken recently of Viking who is 3 tomorrow.  We purchased him from you when you were still in Ohio 2 years ago.
He is just indescribable.  So loyal, protective , obedient, wonderful temperament.  He is everything an owner of a GSD should have.  I follow your website and Facebook postings.  There are some old video’s you have of Viking on Facebook that I look at often and am amazed at some of the foundational work you did with him that he still has today.

We love this puppy. Uppy is a joy. His temperament is extraordinary – playful and joyous, non-agressive but not timid, affectionate and alert. Uppy is so adorable and enthusiastic, the two younger ones took right to him. You all have done a marvelous job socializing him. He’s so attuned to humans and greets everyone with willingness. He’s not afraid of sounds like the lawn mower or the telephone ringing. He lets us pick him up and cuddle and pet him.He’s just a great dog, and we’re so grateful for all you’ve done to make him the puppy he is.

Thank you a MILLION TIMES OVER for coming through for us. Your honestly and care though the entire process helped ease our anxiety and we now know that there is no other dog for us…Jeck is wonderful, more than anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for taking the time to hear us out, learn what we wanted in a new family member, and most importantly your honestly though the process. We will keep you up to date on Jeck. We plan on getting his “BH” immediately and then move him steadily through his SH1 – SH3.

Peter, It was a real pleasure meeting you. Thanks again for putting this deal together. Our pup is such a delight. She seems to be housebroken as we have had zero accidents ! Very playful pup indeed .Your service and assistance has truly been world class.  With appreciation

Dear Peter: As I indicated to you on the telephone I have spent a considerable amount of time researching breeders of quality German Shepherd Dogs with a 5-6 hour drive. Having done so I have concluded that you offer exactly what we have been looking for. Your ethics, quality of dogs you breed, concern for the proper placement and a willingness to help educate us so that we can become the best possible owners that this puppy deserves is invaluable. Also, the fact that you do this for the love of the breed as opposed to earning a living means a lot not to mention the pricing structure. Pricing them so that they are affordable to the average family is another indicator of your character. From the research I’ve done so far it is obvious that you could charge considerably more for dogs of this quality.

Dr. Banfe: Look forward to hearing back from you Doc, thanks for working with me and helping us to move on to what will hopefully be the right dog for us, its not to often anymore in todays society to find someone honest.

I thought I would send you some photos of our boy Nikko.  He is now 2.5 years old and we could not be more pleased with him.  He has a lovely temperament and disposition.  He is confident and friendly to all who meet him.  You can actually put your hand in his dish or just take his bone away and he will never mind.  While he is protective at our home, once someone comes in he will just lick you and wag his tail.

Just wanted to give you an update on Navarro.  He is over 1 year old now and we had his preliminary hip X-ray.  His hips came back good!  He is great!  He resembles exactly what I wanted in a shepherd.   Truly, I want to personally thank you for providing such a quality dog.  I truly mean that.  There are many great dogs out there, but the majority of them are extremely overpriced.  You provide quality shepherds at a price that families can afford.  Anyways, just wanted to give you a brief update and tell you to keep up the good work!

Just wanted to send along a few photos of Bruin “Nate” Ricki/Xenox as he is one year old today. He is doing awesome and just so much fun.  I think he is absolutely one of the prettiest shepherds that I have seen.  His reds, get so many compliments. We continue to do advanced obedience at a drop in class weekly, that breeds german shepherds.   Thank you so much for all your knowledge and for the gift of Bruin.  I continue to follow you on facebook and your webpage. All my best to you all.

I just wanted to let you know that Siegfried’s flight was right on time and he is doing great! He has been nothing but wonderful. It has only been two days and he is already learning our routine. He is a very intelligent and beautiful pup. We could not be any more pleased. Thank you for everything.

PERFECT dog for me. I cant thank you enough. He is truly everything I was looking for. He looks forward to being worked and has the desire to please me no matter what we are doing. His personality is not only exactly what I was looking for but he has an incredible nose and great play drive! His obedience is going great and we have also started his tracking. I have also finished the first phase of the obstacle course my parents have at their business, which he loves as well! I just really cant express to you how grateful I am and how he truly is exactly what I was looking for. I attached a picture of him on the obstacle course at my parents business.   Thanks again for everything!

I can’t thank you enough for Santana. He is such an amazing puppy! He’s so smart. It’s only been 3 days and he is mostly house-broken and already knows how to sit on command! We plan on teaching him something new every week. Thanks again for this amazing addition to our lives!

I had to write you again. Smartest dog ever! He already knows how to sit and lie down after only 4 days! I’ll start sending a few pics as he gets bigger. 11.2 lbs and growing!

Hope you and your family are doing well. The puppy I purchased for my Son and his family will be  two years old in December. She has grown into a great dog with beautiful color and a wonderful personality. It is a pleasure to see her every time my wife and I visit. I really miss having a dog in the house but where I live now is not conducive to a Shepherd. When I move back to NC a top priority is a large fenced in back yard. For some reason I sleep better with a German Shepherd in the house

As you said, a super specimen……
He has a sister named Quenda, I started to show her, ( conformation)
and they are very sociable with others in the events.
People ask me where Argos comes from..I give the your name.

Just wanted to let you know that Rambo, now known as ‘KOA’ (it means strong and courageous in Hawaiian) arrived safe and sound. He’s a ball of fire, but settling in just fine. What a beautiful boy! We could not be happier.

Rapunzel is wonderful. She and my corgi are great pals. Could you email to me the picture of her that was on your website? We thought it was especially cute.

No problem. We did not send it in yet. Nala (quartet) is doing absolutely wonderful!!! She is sooooo smart and has become a perfect addition to our family. Thank you for such a beautiful dog.

I thought I’d give you a quick update on our dog. He turned one year old this week and is an unbelievably good family companion, watchdog and pet. He is a true buddy to everyone in our family young and old.
My wife treats him like one of our kids and said she doesn’t know how she could ever got along without him. That being the case we had his hips X-rayed and he checked out perfect in every way.

My husband Tom Trommer sent you an email and photo of our dog Lobo…formerly Obiwan and I wanted to clarify that he was out of the original breeding between Xenox and Parla last year. We saw that you were rebreeding them and wanted to tell you how pleased we are with him. He is a beautiful, and loving animal. Tom calls him his little lamb. Thank you for such a great friend.

Thank you so much for our Nala (Quartet). She is a beauty!!!! Her ears are now standing straight up and she is as playful as ever and just as cuddly. Our chocolate lab(Tank) just loves her. He is 100 lbs but just rolls over and lets her climb all over him. The other three dogs are still a little stand offish with her but Tank watches over her and makes sure she is protected. Potty training is going alright. She is sleeping through the night from 9:30 until 6:30 in our bed. She didn’t want anything to do with the kennel at night. She doesn’t mind being in there for a few hours during the day if we go somewhere. We will send pictures soon. Our children are having a great time with her and all of our friends and family think she is just gorgeous!!!!

Rocky (Quanto) is doing well. He is such a great dog, we have come to love him like no other. We’ve really been watching him grow. It will be interesting to see how he turns out as an adult, he’s already leaving us with high expectations . . . he’s amazing!!

I thought I’d give you a quick update on our dog. All is well and he is doing great. He has assimilated into our family and is a perfect addition. We have also hired a dog trainer to come to our house and work with us to help him reach his full potential. His ears were starting to raise a few weeks ago; one morning I came down stairs to let him out of his cage and he looked at me both ears standing straight up. He didn’t realize the accomplishment but I was thrilled. His ears were up and down for a few more days and then one day just stayed up. We get frequent compliments on him and our vet is very impressed by him.

I wanted to write and thank you bringing Jeck into our family. Due to our less than average experience with a local breeder we were a bit apprehensive about getting an “older” dog (even though we knew that was what our family needed). We picked up Jeck at the airport yesterday and HE IS PERFECT! Beauty, brains and drive to please his new owners wrapped into the perfect package.

Dr. Banfe,I brought the puppy out of the cargo area you would have thought it was Christmas all over again. The kids (and mommy) were very excited…..she is beautiful and healthy. The vet was very impressed today and every thing checked out fine. Hope you enjoy the pictures because we are enjoying MACY!!!!!

Peter, just wanted to let you know our dog Blue is doing great! You got her for me last summer and she is growing like a weed. She is about 60 pounds now at 10 months old. Her pigment is awesome and she is the kindest puppy I’ve ever met. She won’t let you touch her without licking you. I sent a picture of her from my cell phone, I realize it isn’t that good but it’s the best I can do for now. She is able to “Platz” and “Sitz” very well and she heels very well also. Her and I work on it a lot and I can see her enjoyment when she is tasked with completing a command. It is as if she enjoys paying attention, like it’s a game to her. I am hoping to get involved with Schutzhund once I have more time. Thanks again for getting her for us, she is truly a family member.

Peter, Hello! I wanted to tell you a story about Atlas. First I will let you know that Atlas & Ami are doing wonderful! Atlas has started waking me up 5 minutes before the alarm goes off. I just find this very interesting! After the first week he started doing this. It is like he has a built in alarm clock. He is wonderful through the night. He does not get up and move around during the night. I just can’t get over how he can wake me up every morning. That was it. I just thought you might find it amusing. I know he has impressed me. He is a wonderful family member! Again, we thank you for him.

Thank you so much for our new puppy! Hes really fun and energetic, he really fits in to our family. He ate really well tonight and is now sleeping in his crate. He is so much more than we expected.

Peter, Greetings ! Abbey is doing well. She is housebroken and obeys simple command such as sit, down, shake and “outside.” She goes to the door and puts her paw up when she needs to go out !She has become a dear family member that displays unconditional loyalty and courage. No one comes around that she doesn’t greet and check out. ( Very good with children.) She seems to have made the super bond with my wife. Abbey follows Melanie around and hangs on her every word. I’m still out numbered!

The pup has come home. What a beautiful little girl. My Golden has taken to her quite well and my children are having a wonderful time. She is very affectionate and has been very playful since we brought her home. We have named her Lexi. I have attached a picture of her taken this morning.

What a baby!!! She is just great. I think I have decided on the name Hannah. If only I can just convince everyone else. So far everything is wonderful. I took my son’s girlfriend to the airport this morning. She is going to Cheyenne to visit him for a week and said she would like to have one of these dogs. I told her I can fix her up with the person to get her one. Is it ok if I pass out your email addresses to potential buyers?

Pete, Above are some pictures taken today of BLITZ. I want to thank you so much for everything and he is everything we expected. Very well trained for his age and just keeps learning more everyday. This is a true champion litter you have recommended. If you could send me some of the pictures of the Sire and Bitch that would be great. I am trying to start a photo album and like to get all the relatives up to date. Overall i am pleased and not one complaint at all.Thanks Pete and talk to you soon…….God Bless

Hi Peter:Thank you so much for taking the time to see Koby yesterday and talk with us. I worked with Koby this morning as soon as I got up (mom and dad were up before me and let him out and fed him). It was great! He wasn’t as mouthy this morning after we worked and he was overall much more calm. thank you thank you thank you! Koby truly is a little blessing in my life.  God Bless

Hope all is well with you – we are doing great with the “little guy”. He is such a joy, although he can be very trying at times. But, he is just being a GSD puppy! He is so smart, curious and definitely wants to be the boss. He is just the dog we wanted.

KOTI had his trip to the vet today. Dr. Rohr declares him a fine, healthy boy and a real “good looker”. Of course we think him beautiful!! He weighs 35 1/2 pounds and is not carrying an ounce of “baby fat”. Just bone and muscle and boundless energy. He keeps us laughing and excited, and we are enjoying him immensely.

Dear Dr. Banffy and family:We hope you are all enjoying your holiday. We just wanted to take a minute to let you know how our puppy, Jack(Dexter), is doing. He is a very beautiful dog with a great temperment and we couldn’t be more pleased with him. He has been easy to train and is a very people-loving dog. We are sending some pictures that we took when Jack got to experience his first snow a couple of weeks ago. He absolutely loved the snow and wanted to stay outside all day playing in the snow. Jack came into our family during a difficult time for us. We were losing our beloved family pet of twelve years and Jack certainly helped us get through that.

Dear Dr. Banffy and family:Just letting you know that we are really enjoying the new pup that we got from you. He is very intelligent and very calm. He is almost completely house trained. He gets along very well with our, kids, dog and cats. He is bonding well with all of us, but seems to prefer my husband over us all. He follows him around watching his every move and sits when Don sits and stands when Don stands. Here is another picture. Karen

Dear Dr. Banffy and family:We took a couple of pictures today and thought you would enjoy seeing them. We decided to name her “Ami” this way we keep her original name. (thanks for the suggestion!) She is doing wonderful. She slept all the way home last night. We introduced her to the other dogs and all she wanted to do was play. You will see in one of the pictures Ami and Atlas playing. We will have to say she is a wonderful addition. She has so much drive and energy. Just what we like.Thanks again!

Dear Dr. Banffy and family:It certainly is a lot of work but the patience pays off. Each day, Halo matures. Her drive and intelligence is unbelievable. She loves people and I believe she is adjusting to the cats. I think a couple more months and she will understand them better and each will respect the other.
