My husband and I decided
we wanted a "Total
Dog", a German Shepherd.
We wanted to get a top quality, protection trained dog, that would
also suit our lifestyle. Living in Southern California, there were
lots of
choices, but after researching we felt that it would be worth the trip
to Florida to see Ted's dogs. The photos that were emailed to us
showed a choice of excellent quality dogs. Each photo got us more
excited than the one before it. The conversations that we had with
Ted convinced us that he was someone that we could trust to find us
the
right dog. He was always willing to answer our questions, was very
knowledgeable, honest and a good listener.
The trip was a wonderful experience. I was given VIP treatment way
beyond my expectations. Ted spent many hours answering all my
questions, showing me several dogs (although he had already decided
which he felt would be best for us), giving me several days of training
with Arkan, the one I decided on, as well as a video to take home. I
was told that help would be there whenever I might need it. Ted had
already done some specialized training to suit our particular needs and
made sure to cover all my concerns, down to clipping Arkan's toenails
and showing me correct grooming techniques. This German Shepherd
hardly sheds, no matter what people say! Quality breeding does make a
difference!!! I was sent home with all the equipment I needed as well
as being pampered from the moment I arrived to the moment I was
delivered to the airport.
We now own a gorgeous German Shepherd that is everything we wanted and
a special privilege to own. Wonderful training, excellent
confirmation, amazing temperament and our best friend and companion, as
well as protector. He is alert to anything suspicious, but not
aggressive or overly agitated and goes from protection mode to
obedience mode in a split second. He goes everywhere with us, is
always the perfect gentleman and receives rave reviews for looks and disposition.
He goes to the barn with me and could care less about the horses. He gave one
of the mares a lick on the nose!
I could not have expected more and am so glad that we decided to buy our "Total
Dog' from Ted & Dawn. Not only did we find the perfect
dog for us, but also feel that we made special friends.
