Here are some people who kept in touch about their puppy they purchased from us.
                       Please take the time to read their letters.

Hi Linda,

 

 Let your daughter know that we decided to name our puppy Milo J  He is so good and so smart. He is almost sleeping all night now but he will only whimper softly to let us know he needs to relieve himself and he is back in his crate bed and asleep again right away.   It is like having a baby again!!  He has already learned “sit”, “up” (beg position), and “down” using the clicker and small food rewards. My poodle is being a good teacher for him… Milo watches him closely.  Anyway, we are just thrilled with him. The photo on the left is my son with him the day after we bought him and the picture on the right was taken today…he is really growing and changing fast! 

 

Thanks again and please call me if you have any real estate questions or need a referral for a good realtor in your area.

We all love the puppy.  She is just what I wanted.  Her coloring is beautiful.  She is getting to feel more at home so is getting more lively.

 We took her to the Pizza place in Flagler on our way home.

Linda,  I just wanted to let you know that Baron is an amazing puppy. I have had Shepherds all my life but never one that has been so alert & so intelligent at this age. He has already picked up where things are after only one day.  I kept his kennel in the laundry room and i put him to bed around 10:00. I got up at 1:30 am  3:30am and again at 5:30am (probably overkill but i know he was so lonely his first night without his family) to let him out. He held it and has not had one accident yet (And he was in the house all day yesterday!) He went potty everytime i took him out. Anyways, I am so grateful for such a wonderful puppy. I will get you some photos in the few days. Thank you very much, He is truly amazing!! Sincerely, Lori Quast


Linda

Just wanted to send a couple of pics of Baron to show you how handsome he is. He started his first protection introduction class yesterday. The trainer said in 18 yrs. he has only had 2 puppies before Baron go after the whip when they were introduced to it the first time. When he brought that whip out and started using it Baron went crazy!! He was lunging at him snarling and barking trying to get to that whip. Then he would grab the towel and shake it and growl. He has great nerve, nothing rattles him and he is intimidated by nothing. He is doing great at obedience as well. Very good at his sit, down, heel and stays. I take him with me whenever i can. He is such an intelligent and well balanced dog. It's so funny, since the day i got him if he hears children (especially little girls) playing somewhere he goes crazy trying to get to them so he can play. I tell people it's because of Emma, he remembers!! Well, I hope everything is well,  Take Care, Lori.   P.S. Next time I will try to get some more "action" in his photos instead of him just lounging around!



 

 

 

Hey Linda,   Xena has settled in very well. She is very well behaved and has not had one accident yet (Loves her crate!!) She goes right in her crate by herself to take her little cat naps. She is very bold, tough little girl!! I will take a picture of Baron today and send it to you. Sorry for the other day, I was really upset about my older dog and was fighting back tears all day. She is a little better now so I decided on waiting to put her down, just have to take it day by day. Anyways, Thank you for everything, you have been so understanding. Thanks, Lori- ‘’’owner of Baron-above’’’

 

 

Hi Linda,
      Nadja is still doing great! She goes straight to her crate when she is asked. She sits and waits for her treat. She now loves Yoshi and he puts up with her. She is always wanting to play with him, jumping at his face all the time. Sometimes he runs away from her. She gives him a run for the money! Nadja will be going to puppy classes in about 2 weeks.
    Martha Hunt has been training her for the upcoming Conformation Show!!

Hi Linda,
    I haven't talked to you in quite a while. I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures of Nadja. She is a great dog! You were right ablout her being the better dog for shultzhund. I had purchased several Leerburg training videos, one of them being "How to raise a working puppy", the best thing I ever purchased. The most important thing I did was to not let any one play with her so she would look to me for every command. She just waits for me and wants to work all the time for me. Nadja just turned 1 year on the 22nd of April. Look at her now! Thank you so much for what you do. I will be breeding her in next year with a male I purchased from Martha Hunt. I can't wait to see how her puppies will turn out.

Linda,

  I have known you over a year now.  I can only say I wish more breeders held the standard you have set for your kennel.  I cannot thank you enough for helping me improve my bloodlines by finding me great imports.  I know it takes a lot of knowledge and work.  I also highly recommend you to other breeders to use you to whelp their litters.  You have done such a great job for me.  Thank you for whelping one of my litters in your home this week.   Krassy and her babies could not have had  better care anywhere else. Last summer you made what could have been a terrible experience, incredible, when you saved the lives of 3 pups the time my bitch delivered prematurely.  For 15 minutes I watched you bring this one pup back to life when anyone else would have given up.  That same pup is big and healthy and with a great family only because of you.  Thank you so much Linda for all your knowledge and help.

Hi linda,

I just want to give you and up date on, Storm.(photo below/ right) He is doing great!! I will be going for his BH in December and hopefully soon after that for his Schutzhund one. Everyone in the Club can't believe how well he is doing. I had a guy offer to buy him. I told him no !. I was also asked if, I wanted to breed him to their female. I told them, I will have to get the okay from the breeder. I am sending you some pic on his bite work.

It's a trial in December 08. I will let you know information on next meeting is next month. The trial is going to be held in the club field. I cant wait for you to see him !  (Storm received his BH - Congrads!!!)

Linda,  I just wanted to let you know that Baron (photo/left) is an amazing puppy. I have had Shepherds all my life (all from Imports)  but never one that has been so alert & so intelligent at this age. He has already picked up where things are after only one day. He has not had one accident yet (And he was in the house all day yesterday!) He went potty every time I took him out. He is so intelligent and of course follows me all over the house and already whines to go outside. He had a clean bill of health at the Vet on Monday and weighed 12.5 lbs. Anyways, I am so grateful for such a wonderful puppy Thank you very much, He is truly amazing!! Sincerely, Lori Quast      Pictured   Below is:

In 1999, I purchased a female GSD puppy ("Radar") from Linda Strand. Anyone who has looked around at "All German" dogs will quickly agree that Linda's dogs are top quality at a very reasonable price. "Radar" has grown up into a mature dog with an excellent disposition that easily transitioned from an outside dog to a well-behaved inside dog. I have never known another dog that could be left alone for long hours inside with no problems at all. I am very happy with the dog I purchased from Linda Strand, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top quality dog. My next Shepherd will come from Linda.

I bought a beautiful and very intelligent German Shepherd puppy from Linda in June 2004.  I have always been extremely happy with my puppy.  "Tasha" is a fantastic pet and is quickly making her mark in the AKC Rally show ring.  She has "placed" in every show she has competed in and has earned her Rally Novice title.  When I am ready to breed Tasha, Linda is the ONLY one I trust to find me an acceptable male to breed to my girl.  I will be also be getting another shepherd puppy from Linda in the near future for my son to train and take into the AKC circuit.  If you want quality and a breeder that will stand behind her puppies, call Linda

Rosie Bear

Hello Linda,
We purchased a black german shepherd puppy from you back in February and
                  just wanted to let you know she is doing just fine!  We named her
 Rosie Bear and she is a real cutie.  Her ears are up and look awesome.  I will send you a picture
                  as soon as I can. Pat Blanchfield
Also: She is very healthy with no problems at all in that respect.  She is very playful and
                  keeps my ten year old golden retriever young.  The only thing I can't seem to break her of is biting Maggie's ears and
                  legs.  I guess it is just play but Maggie doesn't think so.  I took her to some basic obedience classes this summer
                  at the Deltona Dog Park.  She did mostly very well but she didn't get to graduate as I had to have some surgery
                  and couldn't continue with it. She only had two classes left.  The evening rains made the class stretch out
                  longer so I had to stop.  Hopefully, when I fully recover I can finish her up with class. Please feel free to use Rosie's
                  picture on your website if you would like.  She is, indeed, a super pup also.

Hi Linda!

 

He's doing great. Did not get sick, we ate outside at downtown Disney in the shade so he was able to get a break from the long trip. Everybody adores him! Loves to play so I guess he feels fine. He slept in bed with us last night, he just wanted to be held. He has gone to the bathroom each time outside and his stools seem fine, not hard nor soft.

He has brought great joy back to our household already.

PS- he is very alert.

God bless, 

 

Best regards,

Amie Isemann

 

Hi Linda,Bruno is doing great. He is very friendly with friends and family but also an exceptional watch dog. I feel very safe when my husband is out of town. He is a bit spoiled and likes to climb in bed with us. When we try to get him down he wags his tail sooo, he stays. I’ll send pictures one of these days. He is about 60 lbs maybe 65. I have not gotten him neutered yet but will this spring. I’ll keep in touch. Take care and God Bless!

Amie Isemann

 

Maxx is doing great, we LOVE LOVE LOVE him so much…and Heidi takes excellent care of him….they play all the time. Heidi’s mother instinct has kicked in and she is trying to teach her how to “take a break” outside. Maxx follows her everywhere and it seems he is adjusting to his new pack very very well.  Heidi is getting into a protective state of mind with the puppy.  So far so very good.  He slept mostly through the night, we never got up with him.  No worries ma ma!  I knew it would be ok…they are adjusting to each other very well.

My first dog from my daughter Linda, was Shally, we just put her down at 14 yrs old . My fathers day present was Duke. He is the most intelligent Shepherd I have ever owned!!  He understands every command I give him! Knows each toy by name & he loves to swim in the Pond and play in the Snow. At 11 months he was 96 lbs, & now he is 28 inches tall and 102 lbs !!   The vets love him & his health is excellent. He just sired his first litter -8 pups! A woman from 'Germany' bought 3 of them!

Linda,

 

My wife and I have spent some time on your website and taken a close look at the pedigrees of your litter's mother and father.  We want one of the puppies for sure.  We prefer a male.  Please tell us how to proceed from here.

What convinced us without actually seeing the puppies is the fact that our recently departed Rex von Merlene and your Amina seem to us to be from the same blood lines.  Take a peek.  We'll bring the papers on our dog just as a matter of interest. 

 

 We don't want to miss out on this opportunity and would like to send a deposit sight unseen.  Please tell us the amount and how to send it.  We see Pay Pal on your website but we've never used it and have no idea how so we'll need you to tell us how to do it. 

And we still want to come see the dogs on Monday at 2 PM, please.

Ty

 

Just wanted to let you know that all went very well on the trip home yesterday with Max.  He slept in Nancy's arms most of the way.  Not bad.  He's eating and sleeping and peeing and doing all those puppy things.  King, the 8 year old GSD and he are getting along great.  Max only woke up and whined twice last night.  Other than that he slept.  Good boy !

 

I am amazed that he has taken to walking on a leash already.  A little balking at first but then he was fine with it.  We put on leash when we take him out the front door.

We're going to take him to a puppy kindergarten in a couple of weeks.  It's put on my the Brevard Kennel Club so we hope it's good.

 

   Nancy (my wife) and I are so pleased to have been guided to you! Thank you for

our new family member, you have brought such Joy to our lives.

Ty

 

  

Linda, just got the pup Leika, she is doing just fine. Had a good trip home we are bonding faster than I expected she leaves us a special reminder once in a while, no big deal

Hello Linda,

last weekend Matthias brought me my computer into the rehabilitation clinic and I will try to send some emails with help of my mobile phone.

The operation went well, so fare as we can see now. I got a new document for the airport security, because I will now always "piep" when I will go through the airport security.

My new hip and I are now trying to adjust to each other and this is not always so easy.

It is painful to build new muscles in the operated leg, the operation is just 16 days ago. I am walking with the crutches and also training to go the steps, each day a little more.

For about 6 month I am not allowed to do any dog sport and have to sleep only on my back, this I hate the most.

I don`t know, how long I have to stay here, but I think at least for the next 2 weeks.

when you are ready for your new laptop, please contact Matthias, he will help you.

Matthias and Mareike enjoyed their holiday in Florida a lot! Thanks for your taking time to be with them.

Best regards

Hi Linda

Just a note to let you know Zeus is doing great!!

Jeff

 

DEAR LINDA,

                    HI, PUPS ARE WELL AND GROWING FAST.           

 MELODY ALVES PORT ORANGE, FL.

Thank- you, got the papers today. The puppies are fine. Absolutely beautiful, especially the male. the female is a ball of fire. she must see and inspect everything. if her brother has something, she has to take it. he has become smart though, he takes his things and goes and lays down near reno. she's not quiet so brave as to take his yet. the male pup is Reno’s shadow, its amazing sometimes how you can just read his face as he watches Reno, and then imitates him. he is quite smart.

                                                        we’ll keep in touch.

                                                                               Melody 

 

 

HELLO, LINDA

THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME E-MAiL

NOW I KNOW MUCH MORE ABOUT MY DOG.

 

WE FINALLY NAMED HER GERDA - GERMAN NAME. SHE IS SO GOOD IN EVERYTHING - LISTENING, PLAYING WITH OUR BABY...

I really appreciate your time and YOUR LETTER - it was very helpful.

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! best regards

Linda,

Thought you might like to see a photo of our big guy, Viper, at around 12 -13 weeks old.

 Urle and Quira ought to be proud parents! :-)

 Thanks so much for breeding such wonderful GSDs.

 

Just wanted to let you know that Don referred you to a colleague of his that is in the market for a German Shepherd. So you might be contacted in the next couple days by a guy named Steve Reynolds.

 Anyway, our Viper is growing by leaps and bounds. 18" at the withers now and 40 lbs (14+ wks old) when I weighed and measured him last week! He is just so beautiful! And so intelligent too!

  

Just wanted to let you know that we took Viper to the vet yesterday for his 16 week checkup. He weighed in at 44 lbs. and he is now standing 20 inches at the withers. The doctor said that Viper is the picture of perfect puppy health! Not only is he growing big and strong, but his fur is so black and shiny that everyone compliments him on how beautiful it is!

       Visit His site!! :     http://teamviper.wordpress.com

Well ... Viper is officially 6 months old now and I just wanted to give you another update on him. He now measures an outstanding 26 inches at the withers and weighs in around 80 lbs. He is starting to fill out more now and he is turning into such a big, beautiful, strong, healthy dog! So intelligent and eager to please! He is growing up to be EXACTLY what we were hoping for! Everyone we come into contact with seems to think he is the perfect example of what a German Shepherd should be!

 
Thanks so much!
Kelly

Hello Linda,

Last year you gave us a terrific Shepherd, which has truly become a
sister to my son.  I am the officer in the Fort Lauderdale area, and I am
not sure if you remember me, but I wanted to breed her one time, so my
in-laws, and brother can have a solid dog.  I sent her for K-9
training, and she is going again for the protection portion soon.  The Trainer,
who specializes in police k-9, and even supplies the DEA, said that he
has a solid East German Shepherd that would make a terrific stud.  I
am going to have my vet, do the xray on Sasha's hips.
The trainer said that she
is a good dog with a high drive. He owns a K-9 acadamy in Miami, and
trains agencies from Orlando south.  He also trains federal, and other
country agencies. (US K-9 Acadamy)  He has seen the papers that you
provided me with for the bloodlines.   My vet comes regularly, and said that she
is in good health, and is a firm believer in OFA. If those results are
less than good, it would not be fair to breed her.  I will be sending
the xrays to OFA, and he is getting me the information to do so.  Her
temperment is good, (My 2 year old can attest to that.  He is constantly
grabbing items and toys from her mouth, and she won't bite.  In
addition, I have socialized her with other people and dogs since day one).  I
will send you some pictures of her tomorrow.  

 Thanks for the quick responses and help you always have given me,  What ever you are doing with these dogs really works!  I check your site occasionally  to see some of the new litters, and the dogs are absolutely stunning!
  Not to mention the command presence. 

Thanks for everything,
Jason

Hi Linda!

Hope all is well. We just had our Christmas cards made and of coarse we included “Bruno”. That’s what we named the pup we purchased from you.

Anyway, I am forwarding you the picture so you can see how he has grown. He loves the snow too!

Happy Holidays!  Amie Isemann

Linda,
   here is the picture of Zeus, its about 2 months old, now he's 76 lbs and the vet said he should be between 90-100 when all filled out. He has an amazing temperament, what a great personality!
 Thanks again for a wonderful pet.

Hi Linda,
Just wanted to update you on Molly. She is SPOILED ROTTEN! We love her so much already and I don't think anyone could buy her back for any price. I Never saw Virgil so happy he loves her just as much as me if not more. She has many toys and plays with them a lot. We have taken her to Jacksonville and several road trips and she travels great.
 
She is very intelligent and learned how to use the pet door to the back yard in about 1 minute. She will only sleep with my slipper that is so funny. If I can't find one of my shoes I just looked where her beds are and where she is sleeping. She will take it from me and run as fast as she can.
 
She slept in the bed with us the first 3 nights she had a hard time leaving her Mom but after that she settled in just fine. She still does not like the cats too much but they do not pay her much attention. I am very sure she will be well trained at an early age since she listens so well and is so intelligent at such a young age.
 
Like I told you, she could not have a better home.She will love us as much as we love her. Think maybe she already does.
 
She goes back to vet for shots January 10th. She is eating really well and growing like a weed!

Linda,
Schatzi (peanut) is the BEST dog i'v ever seen. She's so smart and sweet, doesnt cry in her crate, when we go for walks she stops when my daughter starts getting to far behind to wait for her, she's starting to get such a personality! Thanks so much! Let me know if these pictures didnt work.

Hi Linda.
 
It has been a while; Dazzle is now a little over 8 months old.  Her ears stood up solidly at about 7 1/2 months.  You couldn't get them down if you tried.  All that fuss about nothing.  I thought you would like to know this because maybe someone else will have concerns in the future.  Remember we both read the article on Leerburg that said at 5 months you should start to be concerned.  Some dogs just mature later.  It could be that because I didn't feed her puppy food that her development was not so rapid,  or her teething process was long, who knows. 
 
Anyway, Dazzle is absolutely gorgeous.  When I walk her people stop and ask where I got her and comment on how beautiful she is. 
 
About Leerburg, he insists on a prong collar.  How do you feel about this?  I have been using one of his prong collars on Dazzle when I go out on the street because at her age she can be unpredictable - cars, bikes, skateboards, etc.  Do you walk your dogs?  For training, I use the choke collar but Leerburg seems to discourage this. 
 
 
She is truly a wonderful creature and I want to help her to be the best she can be.  Any advise you are willing to offer would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy Jackson
 
 
Hi Linda,
 
Molly is now 4 months old and weighs 43 lbs. She is absolutely beautiful! Her ears have been totally up since 3 months old. She has been totally house broken since 3 months old. That is so amazing how fast she starting going outside by herself to do her duty. She is very, very intelligent and learns very quickly. She sits, will lay down on command. She walks on her lease very well. She just watches your every word and listens so well for a puppy.She still gets wild and spreads her toys all over the house 3 to 4 times a day.  I never crated her at all. I bought a new crate for her but she stays at my side at all times and just was so easy  to house break. She loves to swim and we plan to take her boating with us soon. She and Mandy are stuck to each other all the time. Mandy has been a great Mom to Molly. Anyway thank you again for such a beautiful puppy. You are an excellent breeder and it shows with your puppies. You may use my name if anyone ever wants a reference. WE certainly are very satisfied with our baby. This little girl  has her courage already and barks very aggressively when anyone comes near our home. She is very social but there is NO doubt she will do her job to protect us and our home. MOLLY  is so loved and has the best home possible
God Bless You
Carol and Virgil

I just wanted to do another follow-up e-mail with you to let you know that Viper went in for his 12 week check-up: not only is he in excellent health but he weighed in at just a tad under 30 lbs! He has grown so much just in the 4 weeks that we've had him. He is going to be so tall!
 
We get comments about him everywhere we go: people think he is just the most beautiful German Shepherd they've ever seen. And we've even heard such comments from people who actually own other German Shepherds. We tell everybody "Berg Quella Kennels - look it up on the net!"
 
He has already learned sit, down, stay (even with the door wide open) and he's doing really well learning how to heel also. He loves to go for rides too so we take him with us as often as we can. 
 
He is just such a joy! We feel so blessed to have him! Thank you so much for breeding such wonderful puppies!

Dear Linda--On the way home "Rey" became "Kaiser".  Everyone just loves that name and everyone was really tepid about the other one.  So, Kaiser is just about the greatest thing since sliced bread!  He is completely housebroken!  The one accident he had was because I ignored his frantic crying.  He is walking on a leash with no problem.  He is focused, he is calm, he is very intelligent.  Next week we will meet with a trainer --to train me how to give commands, set up exercises for him to prepare for the work to come.  You selected the perfect dog for me.  I feel so blessed.  Thank you, Val Lee
 
Hi Linda,
 
Nadja is doing great! She didn't like me talking to her on the ride home, she would put her head down and look at me sideways. I just let her be and she stayed on the front seat all the way. She didn't even cry. When we got home I let her out in the front yard for about 20 minutes, she seems to love it outside. I had her crate all ready for her so I put her in it and left the door open. She soon came out and wanted to play. I let Yoshi come by and smell her but I didn't let him stay. I don't want her to feel intimidated by him at all. She is starting to learn to sit in front of me instead of jumping on me. She is very courageous, she has no fear at all. I just sent an email to a schutzhund club near me, to find out times for puppy training. I will keep you posted on how she is doing when she starts training.
