Pictured below are dogs that we have bred and messages from their owners. They are all very special to us and we are enjoying watching them grow.
This is a picture of 10 of the Duchess & Cosmo litter at almost 8 weeks old. They were getting a little sun and taking turns playing in the yard. They were quite a handful, but lots of fun.

Just wanted to update you quickly on Keizer and send you pictures of him meeting the family. My grown daughters were as excited if not more than the kids were because it had been several years since they had had a Shepherd puppy to cuddle and since they grew up with Bear and Bubba were absolutely thrilled at the fact of having a big male Shepherd in the house again. Keizer has fit in very well here with all the animals and has sooo much character that I am having a blast with him! He has proudly made it to "Butthead" status already with his cocky attitude and self assured nature and I am enjoying every minute of it even though I know it is going to be alot of work to gently guide him towards the Ed Dog he will eventually be. He thinks it is really cute to take one of my shoes the minute I kick them off and take off running with it! You can just see the devilish smile on his face when he does it and the look of "Oh Alright" when I tell him to drop it and leave it. He really is learning very quickly and potty training is going great also. The crate however lasted one very long night and now just holds his toys!
Pictured above is Keizer at 8 weeks and to the right at 4 1/2 months. To give you an idea of his size, the crate he is in, is a Ex Large and the empty one next to it is a Giant. His rear is touching the back of the crate and he isnt even stretching all the way out! His owner says that he continues to amaze her everyday with his intelligence and his personality is just perfect!
Athena is doing great. We LOVE this little girl! She isn't so little any more. The last vet visit she weighed 32 pounds. Athena is the sweetest and smartest puppy that we have owned. In her puppy class she is doing so good, even the trainer is surprised how quick she is to catch on to the commands. She went on a trip with us and our other dogs to the mountains in Tennessee recently and loved it. Everyone who sees her has to stop and love on her and they all compliment us on what a great dog she is. Athena has also been going with me when I volunteer at the pet adoptions for the Animal Rescue Foundation and loves meeting all the new people and animals. This puppy has brought so much joy and love to our family. Thank you so much for our little girl, We couldn't imagine life without her. I think that we are now hooked on the King Shepherds. I want to take her to some shows when I get a chance, She is a gorgeous puppy.
Pictured above is Athena at about 9 weeks. Pictured to the left is Athena attending her Puppy Kindergarten graduation. Congratulations to Ahtena!!
We are very proud of Athena. At a young 8 1/2 months old she thwarted a home invasion at her house and chased away the would-be burglar. We doubt he will be returning to her home.
Not even a week has gone by and Grania is getting along just fine with the rest of the family. She has picked her spot in the master bedroom to sleep, has started to walk on the leash and has even begun to ask to go out when she needs to. She is a GREAT little pup! Her beauty is only matched by her intelligence and we here in New York feel a little guilty for stealing her away from you. :-) She has also made friends with our newest cat, Luna. She was a shelter cat, and more than a bit sickly when we got her home. Grania only slips a bit when they play together, sometimes nipping Luna's tail.
Picutred above is Grania at about 11 weeks and to the right at 5 months.
What a beauty. Grania's first Christmas at 8 1/2 months.
Boris is a very loving fellow, just happy all of the time....When you call the boys and they come running thru the woods, well, its a lot of puppy charging you. They're huge.
Pictured above is Boris at about 11 weeks. To the right he is about 8 months old.
Boris has lots of fun playing with his littermate brother, Keizer, who lives close by. This picture of Boris & Keizer below is at 8 months.

Pictured to the left is May May at about 10 weeks. Pictured below is her at 3 1/2 months.
Maybe is definitely her name. It's Maybe I'll come, Maybe I will sit,Maybe I will get in the back seat, Maybe I will shut the front door etc. She is back at mouthing me and others (gently though) because her gums are tender as her adult teeth get ready to come in. The front two already did and I saved her front baby teeth. The rest are loose. You have to really pay attention and be lucky enough to be present when she does that funny motion that indicates a floppy tooth ready to be swallowed. People are amazed that she is not yet 4 months old.
Pictured below is Mara howling in her new back yard at about 10 weeks.
Hello! Just wanted to check in. Mara went to the vet last Wednesday and everything looked good. She weighed in at 18.2 lbs. She's very smart. I have her broke from jumping up and she rarely play bites. At this point she listens better to me but I'm the one home with her all day. If she is out in the yard and I yell "Mara, come!" she comes barreling at me. We just love her to death! She's been sleeping all night in her kennel that we keep in our room and we've only had about 3 potty accidents in the house. I hesitate to say this ... but so far nothing has been chewed other that her toys! ( I'm sure it will happen)
Maggie and her sister Trixie enjoying the ocean view. Maggie is 5 months old in this photo. Pictured below is Maggie at 8 1/2 months old.
I just took a few pictures of Maggie and thought you'd like to see how she's grown. Although her teething stage was incredibly destructive around the house, despite the numerous toys and bones strewn about for her, she has been a great pleasure to have. She's smart, a quick learner, always so joyful and playful, and curious about everything.
How are you? Everything is well here. Scully just had her 16 week check up and she weighs 38 lbs. She is a wonderful dog- (even though she chewed up a new dvr remote). She is just brilliant- of course I am a little biased. She loves the dog park and rides in the truck. And our other dog is warming up to her. Hope all is well there.
