Hi
Cynthia –
Today
is B-Zack and Beauty’s 4th birthday! We were one happy,
thankful couple four years ago today! We came to see him a week from
yesterday – four years ago.
He
is doing absolutely great! God gave us a perfect family member!
B-Zack is very loyal to us and is so happy. He loves his home.
We built a covered patio on the back which extends the roof line.
One of his favorite things to do – after working & playing – is
lying on the patio with us. His temperament is awesome. He
still has all the toys we brought with us when we picked him up. He
has not destroyed or injured anything in our home. He never gets on
furniture. I cannot tell you enough good things about him.
B-Zack
is truly our companion and we love him so much. Thank you for making
all this JOY possible for us.
Love
you,
Lillie

Hi Cynthia!
Zephyr continues to do very well She graduated
from Intermediate Obedience two weeks
ago and has all of her hand signals down pat. She was the only
dog in the class to perform the long distance recall perfectly without
voice. I was so proud! Best of all is she seems to have so much fun
performing and knows when she does something just right. She's a
real show-off and moves beautifully. I have had a number of people
ask me where she came from and I am always thrilled to pass your website
on to them with rave reviews for the quality of your GSDs.
Zephyr is also progressing very
well with her drug detection work. It
was so satisfying to watch her learn to use her nose. I am
running out of hiding spots she can't figure out. I even hid it in a
pile of really stinky laundry and she keyed right in on it! Amazing! It's
just a fun game for her! I am not sure what official title,
if any is conveyed for drug
searching, but I will find out. These are private lessons
with Angel Soriano at his K9 University. He is an outstanding and well
known trainer here in Oklahoma City. Finally, I have my girl
enrolled in Canine Good Citizen class starting on Friday. This should be
pretty easy for her since she is very well socialized. We just have so
much fun in these classes, I can't resist!
The only thing that Zephyr has not
been enthusiastic about is agility. And I think that may be because we
started it during that really hot spell we went through this summer. We
decided to quit that until it cools off this fall.
Hope
all is going well with you!

Hi Cynthia,
Thought I would send you an updated picture. I am getting a new
camera soon (as you can see in the photos, my camera is about done) so I
am sure I'll be
experimenting a lot on Samantha and will send you better ones. Hope
everything is going well with you. Have you gone to any
shows lately? How is Cinder? Sam is doing
great. I think she is full grown now, but probably will
gain more weight. She is 64 pounds now. She is getting less shy, but
still is a baby. We passed a lady in a wheel chair
during our walk today and she wanted so bad
to bark at her. She made little barks, but I kept her from
her all out barking. She is just protective and had never seen a wheel
chair before. She has a darling personality
though.
Hope all is great with you.

Hello Cynthia,
Here are some very recent pics of our gorgeous boy. I
sent one pic with my boyfriend and Roman so you can see the scale.
He's a big boy, but I don't think he's over 90#, although he
hasn't been weighed since his HW test in April when he was 86#.
He seems to be calming down overall, although he gets good
exercise with me daily which tires him out. He gets to play
after our walk where we go to the park and throw the ball around
with him. He usually sleeps the entire rest of the day!
Yesterday we ran 3 miles together. He's AMAZING on a leash
now, although it took me a lot of work to get to that point.
We had a house full of guests yesterday too and he mingled with
everyone like it was no big deal. He was territorial in the
past in the house. Anyway, I watch The Dog Whisperer
regularly and subscribe wholly to his approach. It works
with Roman!
Take good care and I'll keep sending pics.

Hello,
I just wanted to send
some new photos of Günther to you. He is growing up to be a very
handsome young man. We get complimented on him all the time. Many people
have inquired about where we got him. We would like to plan a visit
to come out and see you, so you can see our Günther in person. Thanks
for everything, he is a wonderful companion.

Cynthia: Boone is doing great. He loves the farm and hanging
out with the other dogs. He is a great companion and constantly wants to
be with us but at the same time he is very protective and alert, which
is just what we wanted. He just has a great personality and desire to
please. How is everything going on your end? I see you have some
future litters coming up. I hope you and your family are doing well.
Here are some Boone picks.........beautiful dog!

Our boys name is Hahns----he was Alvin for about 2 days and it just
didn't match his personality. He seems to like his name ---I don't
know why Will has such a problem deciding on a name----he wants it to be
perfect so Hahns it is. Hahns is so handsome---he is very social and we
get so many complements on him---e-mail me your mailing address and I will
mail you a picture----you will be proud.
I look forward to hearing from you and for you to see our precious
boy.

Hi
Cynthia
Thank
you for writing back. As a matter of fact I am going to have
Kaiser in classes in May. I also wanted to send you one more photo
of Kaiser with a little better lighting and display of his coat.
You can see a little more of the black, red and is developing some
white hair on his chest area. Anyway, I thought it was a better
angle to help you see more of his color pattern. One of the things
I really appreciate about Him is that when asked, he has a great
attention span for being so young. Even when Gracie seems to lose focus
Kaiser is still focused on me or whatever I am asking him to do. I
have never had a dog that can focus like he does. If I ask him to sit,
he will sit and remain looking at me no matter what is going on around
him until I tell him otherwise. Have a wonderful day...

Here are some recent photos of Bruno
and Cruso. Bruno is entered in the Bissell dog contest at www.bissell.com.
If you would like to vote for him click- vote now-specific dog name- B-
Br. Then he is a few columns down. The overall winner gets to be on a
vaccum cleaner box.
Cruso is great. He is not as friendly as
Bruno was at that age. He is a very loyal to his family kind of dog. He
will stick to us like glue. We have really been trying to socialize
him. He will start an obedience class later this month. As far as
personality you can't beat Bruno. He has never met a stranger and likes
other dogs. Although, he is imtimiatimg to both because of his size. If
you are ever over this way, I wish you would come by to meet him.

Hi Cynthia,
I thought you might like to see how beautifully Zephyr is growing
up.
She now has all her shots and is the picture of good health and high
energy.
I will be enrolling her in puppy school in April, but she will be
way ahead
of her class. She already has all of the basics down pat. She
continues to
show an aptitude for agility, being willing to try anything I ask
her to
try.

Hi
Cynthia-
All
is well. I think I have sort of become Sergeant’s “person”.
He comes to work with me several days a week, and Gabriel has been sick a
lot. So Serg has been going to class with me. Our teacher says
he has a calling for agility – but he gets bored quickly and requires a
constant challenge. I think he could have easily been a police dog
– I have never been around such a protective puppy before – but there
is no way I’d let anyone else have him! Everyone in class is
amazed at his devotion to his family. He never takes us out of his
sight – and our teacher is amazed with his concentration. She said
she has never seen a puppy that is able to concentrate like this.
We
graduate Kindergarten this weekend. I will send some pictures of
Serg with his hat and tassel. We start Beginners in a couple of
weeks and then on to Novice!

Cady went to her first
obedience class this evening and did wonderful. She was a bit of a bully
when they were off leash playing but I think that comes from playing with
Leo all the time. He's rough and big. Her beautiful breeding was very
obvious. When we were leaving we were in the parking lot and some guy
pulled in who had been driving by and asked where we got her! I told him
about you and the website and he said he had heard of your kennels. I hope
you're proud of the wonderful job you do breeding these great dogs. You
definitely have the touch when it comes to matching dogs with the right
mate. I promise I'm taking pictures tomorrow and will have Jeff send them
for me. Mary

We are absolutely loving Ace! He is such an
awesome dog. He is wonderful with Aubrey - he has to give her kisses
all the time. He will let her pull his hair in exchange for being
allowed to lick her face and feet. He is such an amazing dog and
wonderful addition to the family! I will attach a picture for you.

Hello Cynthia
Gracie has been a wonderful dog and companion. She
loves walks, riding in the car and playing in water. Maybe in that
order.
She has been a real joy to my wife and I. My
wife had never really taken a great interest in any other dog I have
had in the years we have been married. But she so enjoys Gracie. We
look forward to the many years of joy to come.
I hope the quality of photos come out ok.
Thanks,

"Hi Cynthia,
Just a note to say that my two pups that we purchased from you are
doing great and have grown into beautiful young animals with
excellent temperaments. They both adapt well to changes in their
environment, and are easily trained. Obedience is solid with both of
them, and they are both very gentle with our little girl. We get
compliments on how beautiful and well behaved they are. Thanks again
for breeding them and striving to maintain integrity of the breed.
Hans' and Angel's Family "
Thanks again and keep in touch. You are a blessing!

As a breeder, I try my best to do the very best for the breed and
those who purchase from me. Bruno is a gorgeous dog, and has an awesome
temperament, but he is huge, and has developed problems. This is a
breeding that will not be repeated due to his problems. I feel honesty is
always the best way to be, and so I post this letter from his owners, and
let you know that sometimes ALL puppies don't come out perfect. But
neither do all human babies, live beings are not like putting together a
washing machine or any kind of machine. I still have the best interest
at heart for this breed, and will continue to do my best in selecting and
breeding only the best to the best and praying that my choices will be the
best for the breed.
|
Hi,
Just letting you know that Bruno came
through elbow surgery all right. But, we got bad news on his hips -
he'll probably need surgery on those, too. He scored between a 6 and 7
on some test they do on hips, with 7 being not good. He is so energetic
right now its hard to keep him corralled. I guess his elbow feels better
then it ever has. Dr. Dew did the surgery - he said this is definitely
genetic and the parents should never be breed again. I told him you
had all ready decided that. Recessive genes in both is what I think he
said. Anyway, Bruno will always have problems, but we will do our best
to help him have the longest pain free life he can.

Hello Cynthia,
Hope this finds you and
the doggies doing well and happy! We have been very busy this time
of year, and I wanted to get a few pictures together for you before I
wrote you back. Hans is adorable, and has been such a
blessing to our family. We all enjoy him tremendously, and I
believe he is very happy with us. A couple of the photos show his
enthusiasm for his ball! Another picture that I particularly like
is the one where he is sitting on the deck watching over our little 3
year old daughter. He is always keeping watch over her, and it is
a comfort to see them together. He has an excellent temperament,
and has never been rough or aggressive to her in any way. He
has such a flexible personality, and wants to please us in every way.
He is doing fantastic in obedience and is a beautiful animal. Thank
you so much for all you do, and please keep up the great work! We
intend to come back and buy a female from you when the time is right.
Blessings from
Hans' Family,
Tammy

He's growing like a weed. He's getting used to our cats, as you
can see in the pics. He stands by, not knowing what to do, as they
devour his food. He never ever gets upset or shows any sign of
aggresion towards them when they move HIM out of the way to get at his
dishes. His temperment is amazing. We love him so much!
We'll keep the pictures coming.

Hello Cynthia,
Thanks for checking in. Gunner is growing like crazy! I sent a
picture of him with our other dogs last weekend. I'm not sure if you got
it or not so I'm attaching it to this e-mail as well. He is simply
wonderful. Such a smart boy, playful, curious, affectionate, and I could
go on and on.
His left ear is standing up perfectly but the right is more off and
on. It's pretty funny! We've been letting him spend a lot of family time
in the house with us in the mornings and evenings. We went on a walk
last week and he did great on his leash.
Our son Hank and Gunner get along perfectly. We're teaching them both
to be considerate of each other and have had no problems at all. Hank
likes to walk up and hug him - Gunner seems to appreciate it!
Talk to you soon.

Hi
Cynthia,
Just
wanted to let you know Ruby is doing great. She is such a smart and good
girl. Her and
Sheba
are the best of friends and look out for each other real well. Her
agility and tracking skills are amazing. The
favorite thing for her is retrieving the tennis ball and I try and throw
it where she has to track for it, she loves it and won’t give up until
it’s found. She also swims real well, I was surprised how well. I
guess those big feet are like paddlesJ.
Sincerely,
Troy

Hello Cynthia,
I apologize in advance for being so long-winded, but there is SO MUCH
to say about our beloved Arco!
Hope you are doing well, and enjoying the "babies", because
we certainly are loving ours!?
He is an absolute joy in every way!? He surprises me in so many ways,
and as I have told everyone, he acts more like my pink-papered male than
any GSD I have ever been around - and I have been around many.? Having
done Schutzhund years ago

Ebbie is really growing and is such a smart girl. Enclosed

It is definitely OK with us to post this
on your site.
Bruno is getting real big and a good
looking an extremely smart dog. He is definitely the smart dog in
the puppy class. He has picked up every thing real fast and has already
mastered come, sit and down. We did heal last week for the first time in
class and he did it perfectly. All the other owners were very impressed
with him.
We are very happy with him and will keep
sending you updates.

was spectacular; the new dog club in

had an “A” match. Bo was entered in Novice B and he really
showed his “stuff”. He took first place Novice B AND High in

beat out a dog in utility by 3 points.

Hello Cynthia,
Here are some photos of Liesel taken on Mothers Day. She is a real
beauty, and is just now developing a keen sense of being a protector of
the family. She will let most children, women, and teens come up to the
house, especially if she recognizes them; but most men receive a good
barking at in her deep voice.

Sorry
it has taken so long to send out current pictures. Zack is the
perfect companion and the smartest GSD we could ever ask for. He got
2nd place in Novice and only missed 1st by a half
point. He is a great watch dog and is very social as well.
Thank you for breeding such a wonderful GSD.

find homes like theirs!!! |

Hi,
All I've got to say is "Bo" (Tidmores Rising Star Bobby) is
one awesome puppy. He is growing very fast, has one wonderful
puppy disposition, and shows very high intelligence. He is
presently enrolled in puppy play school, and puppy manners class. He is
cautious but outgoing. Likes to view the situation (stays back for a few
moments) then joins the activities with 110% energy. I've had
GSDs before but never one with the disposition that Bo has. He is
a wonderful puppy and I hope he will make his pappa proud!.

Hi Cynthia --
We have another tracking dog!! Shawnee passed her tracking dog
test today, in a record time of 5 minutes for a 460 yard track!
When I get the pictures I will send them to you. Now it is on to

I hope all is going good with you. I love checking out
your website and seeing all the puppies! Lucky for me you live in
OK now! I would really have a house full of spoiled shepherds.

 Sharon has purchased 2 puppies from me her
oldest is now 6 years young. A half brother to my Scarlet. Shawnee is a

tracking dog title on her 6 year old.. She is an awesome
owner!!!

| Dennis
brought B Zack to the Main Plaza where I work! He is five months and
two days old.
We were on the
marble floor in front by the tellers. There were Managers, Bank
Officers as well as several clerical personnel. Dennis put B Zack
through his commands of heel, down, sit and stay. B Zack was
absolutely perfect!
He had never been
to the bank, these people were all strangers -- he never once barked,
snipped or did anything other than stay by Dennis's side. Then he
allowed everyone to come and pet him. This dog was awesome! We
were so proud.
B Zack rode in the
elevators -- showed no sign of fear -- his ears were up, tongue hanging
out, smiling. He did sit and look up at Dennis -- as if saying,
"What the heck is this?"
Formal schooling
starts tonight! We know he will put on a SHOW and be an
"example" the Instructor refers to!
Thank you again for
this wonderful companion!

Just a short note to let you know that we
received our third leg for our CD with a first. That makes 3 blue

"stand for exam" but we had a extremely open minded
judge...
I guess that we all get a break once in a
while.
We'll see what we can do in
"open", keep your fingers crossed.
Oh, we've seen Ray's pup Bo...what a
great looking pup!!! Of course we would expect no less from a Tidmore

Cynthia,
Hello, I
hope that this email finds you and your family in the best of health.
I am writing you this email just to let you know how great Duke has
done. I have increased his "prey" drive tremendously, as
he shows a great desire for his toy and retrieves extremely well. His
obedience is good but it could be much better considering his smarts, I
just don't work on it too much. I feel that if I was to train him
on an odor, (ie. marijuana) he would have no trouble in finding it.
I still have not decided if I will attempt to train him in illegal
narcotics detection or not, but I will keep you posted. Everyone
who sees him immediately falls in love with him, after they get over the
initial scare factor.
Very
Respectfully
Peter
Jaquez |
Duke is from my 2002 litter with
Scarlet X Rhett. We appreciate his owner very much, who is a Border Patrol
person near El Paso Texas. We need to always Thank our men and women in
uniform who help to keep us safe. We hope to encourage him to get Duke
certified!! You can do it Peter!! (smile) |

Hello Cynthia,
Thank-you so much for your e-mail.
Congratulations on the titles you have achieved with Scarlet.
As you can see Liesel is a real beauty.
She is large-bodied, weighing in at 40 pounds on her 4th month birthday.
She is very intelligent having learned how to open both the front door
and the pantry door....so she can help herself to a treat. And yes, she
has learned where the "potty place" is located and does her
business there.....well at least most of the time, if she doesn't
make it there she at least crosses the driveway on the way to the potty
place and never goes around the house. In some of the attached
pictures you can see that she has the deep red color that you prefer in
your dogs. We think it's attractive as well. She has a good
disposition and loves affection from all of us.
Look forward to hearing from you again.
Mike & Cheryl
