Quality doesn't cost... it pays!
Dear Potential �Angel� Buyer:
If you want a strong, spirited and vigorous Shepherd�buy a Guardian Angel!!!
My husband and I purchased a puppy from MaryAnn in October 2005 and have
had nothing but great experiences with both Lexx (our puppy) and MaryAnn.
We purchased a German Shepherd because my husband works shift-work
and we wanted a guard dog for the nights when I�m home alone. Lexx is a very
smart dog and quite quickly took it upon himself to make sure that
�no one comes near mom unless I say so!!!� While he�s very protective, he is
still very gentle, cuddly and loving. Lexx immediately began to learn �sit�,
�down� and �stay� from our older Shepherd and I very much look forward to
expanding that obedience training in the new year.
MaryAnn is very knowledgeable about the growth and training of a Shepherd;
when we came to pick up Lexx, we had a whole list of �instructions� before we
even left her house!!! Every question or concern that I�ve ever emailed to
MaryAnn, she has quickly responded with an answer�and she�s always right!
So if you are looking for a dedicated, intelligent and vigilant Shepherd (that still
LOVES to cuddle in the morning), I highly recommend that you buy a
Guardian Angel! You�ll be glad you did.
Sincerely,
Brandi Seutter
It is my complete and utter pleasure to recommend Mary Ann Marcellus and Guardian Angel Shepherds to anyone who is considering adding a German Shepherd puppy to their family.
This year, after years of downtown living, I moved to the edge of the city and to an environment that was conducive for getting a German Shepherd puppy I had been thinking about for quite a few years. We had grown up with a German Shepherd at my family home and she had the most wonderful temperament � I knew that this was the breed of dog I wanted to have in my own home.
After much research including surfing the web and talking to people, I was led to Mary Ann and Guardian Angel Shepherds. After some initial emails and conversations, I made the trip to Olds to see the new litter of Justice and Kahlua and to talk further about my acquiring one of the puppies.
When you first visit Guardian Angel Shepherds, you will be left with no doubt that Mary Ann is 100% devoted to her canine family and that she is extremely diligent about determining who is going to get one of her puppies. There is a pretty thorough screening process including an extensive questionnaire which Mary Ann uses not only to determine the suitability of the person for adopting one of her puppies but also to determine which puppy is best suited for each person she approves.
Mary Ann invests an extraordinary amount of time in monitoring and recording the behaviour and personality characteristics of each puppy in the 8 weeks after they are born. It is through this process that Mary Ann determined that �Light Green� was going to be the best dog for my lifestyle. She couldn�t have been more right � �Light Green� is now called Shiloh and I can tell you that I could not imagine her not being a part of my household. From the moment I picked her up, she exhibited the most delightful personality and is truly a joyful dog, well-adjusted dog.
I found that the guidance and advice that Mary Ann gave me was invaluable. She sends you on your way armed with a wealth of information and guidance and I was able to check with her about any questions I had � they were many at the beginning!
If you are thinking about getting a German Shepherd puppy, look no further! From my personal experience, I can assure you that by dealing with Guardian Angel Shepherds, you are dealing with a company and individuals who are devoted to promoting and raising happy and healthy dogs.
If you would like to ask me questions about my experience, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Debra R. Lamb
a tough job, but somebody has to do it!
Just want to tell you how Zena is doing. She is the dog I was looking for. Always stays close and is a great companion. And so smart, I've never had a dog that was as easy to train She had her spay surgery last month without any problems.
I got the books you recommended. Lots of good information there. I took your advice and got her a big crate. It was hard at first to lock her up when she couldn't go with me but it works. Now she takes naps and sleeps in it at night with the door open.
One other thing that is different about Zena, she seems to really trust me. She allows me to examine her ears and paws without a struggle. Must be due to the start you gave her.
I am sending a picture. It's not very good but I will get you a better one.
Brian
