We just received our beautiful puppy named Heidi. She has been a joy. She is smart and is so affectionate. Rebecca is a great and honest breeder. You will not be disappointed. My wife is 80 and I’m 79 so you are never too old bring a bundle of joy into your life. We are dog lovers and have 2 older dogs. Heidi sleeps in same cage as our Golden Retriever. She thinks it’s her puppy. Rebecca’s dog sell quickly so don’t pass an opportunity to own one these fine German Shepherds.
