                                                                                        Lenga's Von Dixie Belle Del Mar

Dear Helene,

Dixie is doing fantastic.  She is sweet, calm and gentle in the house, and whenever we take her
someplace she is awesome.  She is so attentive toward Hunter, our autistic boy.  My mom was in town last week
and we all went to a wedding on the beach in St. Petersburg.......with Dixie.  She was so good,
with everyone.  All kinds of people asked if they could pet her.  I swear, she looked to us  for permission
to be petted.  She was concerned for Hunter every time they were separated, like when he went to
the food table.  At home Dixie and Hunter play very much, but at night she is first at the door if there
is a knock.  Here are some pictures of her.  Some 15 year old kid at the wedding told us "She is the
prettiest German Shepherd I have ever seen........Anywhere!!!!"   I think he is right.
                Take care, I'll write again soon,

                 Mike Robinson  (Hunter's Father)

     Second Letter from Mike Robinson:

March 13, 2011

Dear Helene

We have been talking about her and you a lot lately too.
She is way better than we ever could have expected.  She can't quite
talk yet but she is a mind reader.  In the morning she likes to hop up on
the bed to coax Hunter into getting up.  She sounds bored and frustrated
when he doesn't get up right away.  She then makes this really cool low to
high pitch whine really slowly, it's just precious.  I said to Kim today that I
would not hesitate to spend the money to get another one just like her.
Maybe in another year or so, we could do that.  Dixie loves to patrol the
yard and our patch of woods.  She thinks that is her job and she does it so
well.  When the UPS guy comes down the driveway she follows him until
he parks and honks the horn for me to come out.  I guess she is a little bit
intimidating to most people.  She is just beautiful though, and everyone
tells me that.  I have been asked a number of times if we were going to
breed her, which would have been cool but we love her so much that we
decided to have her fixed just so she can have fun all the time................
and she does.  We had always wanted for her and Hunter to be close as
companions.  She is so attached to him that she needs to wait in the house
if he decides he wants to be alone, she worries about him the whole time.
We really, quite honestly could not have found a better dog anywhere,
ever.  We have not taken pictures recently but I am sending some that
I don't think you have yet.  We'll send more again soon.  Thanks again,
so very much for such a wonderful service dog.

                                                       Thanks,
                                                        Mike, Kim, and Hunter Robinson

To whom it may concern,

Chris and I wanted to take this opportunity to share our experience with Helene at Lenga’s German Shepherds and to refer her as an exceptional German Shepherd breeder.

Chris and I started looking at various German Shepherd breeders in February of 2010, but it was not until May that we met Helene at Lenga’s German Shepherd and fell in love with her dogs.  Helene was so helpful in providing Chris and myself with information that would assist us in not only choosing a puppy for our family, but choosing the perfect puppy for our family.  She had shown us how to select our right puppy colors, the right sex, and last but definitely not least the right personality that would fit our family best.  As well, Helene was very open with us, allowing us to come up and visit her ranch and her breeding dogs.  Chris and I absolutely loved Zarco, Helene’s stud dog.  He was a beautiful and athletic German Shepherd who had a beautifully colored red and black coat, gorgeous head, and very clean teeth.  He was very obedient to Helene and impressed us very much.  The instant we met Helene, we knew we wanted to make Helene our breeder.   From what we’ve seen and read from other customers, Helene treats the breeding dogs and their puppies with outmost care!  In the months leading up to receiving our puppy Maverick, Helene provided weekly (sometime even more than once a week) information that was very useful in preparing us for our puppy, Maverick.   She would send us ultrasound pictures of the puppies prior to their birth, information about the breeding dogs, their health status, and pictures.   Helene also sent us questionnaires to complete so that she could better understand what we were looking for in a German Shepherd.   She tested the puppies to see if their personality traits matched our desires.  If anyone could make dog breeding a science or a sporting event at the Olympics, it would be Helene and she would get the gold medal.  There is no doubt about that!  We have never heard of any breeder (anywhere in the US or abroad) that kept any of their customers informed of all the little details and progress of the puppy prior and post birth.

One of the most important qualities for us was having a family dog that would get along with other dogs (in our family) and also be able to spend time with our niece and nephew (who are young kids).  We wanted a dog with a personality, one that stood out from all others, a sharp and smart little puppy that would grow into a beautiful, smart, and powerful German Shepherd.   Helene got us exactly the puppy we had envisioned and hoped for, all the way from the looks to the personality.

Helene understood everything Chris and I were looking for in a puppy, she kept us informed and up to date on the activities of Zarco (Maverick’s father) and Keira (Maverick’s mother).  When Keira gave birth to her litter of eight puppies, she made sure to contact us and send us pictures of the little ones.  When Maverick turned 5 weeks old we were able to go and visit him, Helene we so helpful in going over the feeding schedule and teaching us how to prepare his meals.  At 7 weeks we picked up our new family member Maverick and started the new adventure.  We were worried about how Maverick was going to adjust to his new home, and about how he would sleep.  The first night we brought him to our home, we put Maverick in the other room, but he was not to happy especially because it was his first night in a new place.  After about a minute, we decided to move his bed in our room and told him to go lay down on his bed.  Maverick walked straight to his bed, laid down and went to sleep.  He’s been doing that ever since like the good boy that he is.  Surprisingly, Maverick slept the entire night until 6:00 am the next morning.  Once we got up that first morning, he went outside to go to the restroom, came back in and went to bed until 8:00 am. 

As we changed Maverick’s diet, his little stomach acted up a little bit.  This is typical of puppies, but we didn’t know that so we called Helene.  She was extremely helpful and gave us plenty of useful advice that helped cure our little puppy right away.

When Maverick will be 8 months old, we will be traveling to Europe for our wedding.  Without a doubt, we will miss our puppy while we are gone!  It is very hard to leave the puppy behind, never mind finding the proper establishment to leave him at.  Without a doubt the only acceptable place for our Maverick to be while we are gone, is at Helene’s ranch.  We know that Helene will care for him better that anyone else.

Chris grew up with German Shepherds and I grew up with other dog breeds.  From our combined experiences (and those of our families), we highly recommend Helene because of her knowledge and experience with this breed, her wonderful care and attention to detail, her appropriate facilities at her ranch, and last but not least her love for her dogs.  We love our Maverick, and if we were to do it again, we’d go right back to Helene! 

Sincerely,

Two very happy German Shepherd parents, Stephanie and Chris

                                                                                 Lenga's Tahoe von Vogehaus

                                                                                                 RECOMMENDATION LETTER

If I had to describe Helene as a breeder and a person, I would have to say that she is caring, honest, gifted, and amazing. I feel truly blessed to have found her. I came to find Helene on the internet. Thunder, my German Shepherd passed away in September 2009. Thunder, the product of a backyard breeder, contracted cancer. His veterianarian told me that the cancer he contracted was most likely genetical. He was only 6 years old when he passed away, and I was devastated. In my grief I started looking at web sites featuring German Shepherds. I somehow found myself at Helene's web site. I loved the pictures and descriptions of her dogs and found myself at her web page again and again. In December I contacted Helene. I was pretty sure that when the time was right to get another German Shepherd I wanted one of hers. Helene sent me her puppy package, and kept in touch with me via e-mail. My family and I decided that we wanted a puppy from Keira and Zarco. Helene asked me what was important to me in a German Shepherd. I told her that I wanted an outgoing, smart, fearless, curious, social puppy. How Helene did it, I will never fully understand. Helene matched me with a female, we named Tahoe. Not only does she possess all the attributes I asked for, she is beatiful and well behaved. At eight weeks, Helene had Tahoe potty trained, trained to walk on a leash and trained to sit and stay. Tahoe also knew her name and would come when we called her. Helene really loves these dogs, and it shows. She knows each puppy and it's personality. She works with each puppy socializing them and training them. Doing anything on the internet can be scary. I am also a little leery about letting other people make deisions or make choices for me. Not only would I do it again, but I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a German Shepherd puppy to put yourself in Helene's gifted hands. If you wish to contact me about this recommendation, feel free to e-mail me at:

P.S. I also wanted to share this incrediable happening with you. This morning, while I was sleeping my husband went out to the backyard. He fell and couldn't get up. Tahoe came into my room howling, whining, and pushing me with her nose until I got up. She has never acted like this before. Tahoe didn't give up, until I was out of bed. I then found Ray, my husband, and was able to render assistance to him. I'm really poud of Tahoe!

( This really discribes what Shepherds are all about.)

    Dear Helene,

           I will begin by saying that if you are considering to purchase a German Shepherd puppy from

          Helene and are reading my  letter, you have found the right breeder. I purchased this male

         puppy from Helene, and I call him Zambuka. He is the most beautiful, intelligent, social pup I have

         ever owned, thanks to Helene, giving him the training in the early stages of his life.

        Helene is a great breeder and I'm not fibbing. I do have to say I was a little nervous and concerned    

        when the time came to send the money, since I live in Connecticut and Helene lives in California.

        But my worries were unfounded. Helene is a very honest, caring and turstworthy person and

        the best thing is that she knows the kind of high quality puppies she is raising, and loves, and

        has so much knowledge about them.

        Helene has provided my family, a friend and companion which we love very much.

        Helene has kept her word every step of the way, when the puppies were born. She up dated me

        almost every day. (Exceptional Communication) She provided my family with pictures of our

        little Zambuka growing up day by day and we didn't miss out on Zambuka's early stages of his

        life, and I can't thank her enough for that. In addition, the communication between us just didn't

        end when Zambuka was flown to us. It continues, and if I have a question, I know I can call or

        e-mail Helene directly for advice. If you are considering adding a member to your family.

        Helene's puppies will be your best choice. You won't be disappointed, I assure you.

        If you like to contact me, you can e-mail me at: aidapoventud@aotonline.net

 Dear Helene,

                                                       This is the second letter I received from Carolyn Perez

Hi Helene,

I just wanted to give you an update on Maggie.   We are so happy with her.  I know my husband really wanted a male because he wanted a large dog but we are so happy that you picked us out our beautiful Maggie.  We told you that personality was first and foremost over sex and color and we couldn't be more pleased with how she has turned out.  She has the perfect personality for our family and is such a love.  Although a female, she is a good size - 70lbs at 6 months.  Manuel recently told me that he doesn't regret not getting a male at all and that Maggie has the best temperment.  She isn't a runner and never tries to escape when we open the front door.  We can let her off leash in the front yard when we are out there and she never leaves our property, not even when another dog walks by.  She is energetic and loves attention but is also the kind of dog that will just lay around with you.  It is great to have a dog that can easily transition from play to complete relaxation just by responding to the moods of her master!

I did all of the basic training myself and recently enrolled her in intermediate training at Petsmart.  I have to tell you that I get a ton of compliments on how beautiful she is but most important, how well trained she is.  She is the shining star of her class! 

With warmest regards,

Caroyln Perez

Dear Helene,

We looked for a long time to find a breeder who breds Shepherds that have calm, sensible, smart, temperaments, and that are good with children. We could have goine with a local breeder, but seeing your web site, and your beautiful Shepherds and your quarantees, and talking with you via email on many occasions, and you sending me lots of information. We knew we wanted a puppy from you. I believe that when you come across a breeder such as yourself that it doesn't matter the location or price of the puppy.

We have small children and certain qualities in a temperament are very important. And these temperaments are what you breed in your Shepherds. After waiting with  constant communication through email and pictures we finally received our "perfect puppy" and she is defiantly that! Our Holo is 8 months old now, and she amazes us everyday with her intelligence and loving and protective nature, especailly with our children, which is exactly what you promised. She is everything we wanted in a German Shepherd. Needless to say all my children love her, and she is so gentle and calm around them. My two older boys go to school so she stays at home with me and my two year old boy while they are at school. She is especially boned with my little boy. They are inseparable.  She seems to understand that he is little, and deals with him in such a gentle manner. Sometimes she seems to exhitit almost human intelligence. We are so fortunate to have found you, Helene, at Lenga's German Shepherds. If you are looking for a German Shepherd that is beautiful, large boned, intelligent, gentle and calm around children, then look no further than Helene. We are so glad we did. ( We paid a little bit more money than what we could have gotten locally, but it was worth it, every penny !!) Any questions please email me at anytime.

Thank you, Helene for your dedication to be such a caring and wonderful breeder !!

Hugs,

Dear Helene,

As promised, I wanted to give you an update on our beloved Shirley's progress. She is enormous! A happy, robust, perpetually hungry and loving member of our ever-growing household.

Again, our thanks for your great kindness in helping us choose Shirley and the wonderful way you must have treated her during her first weeks of life, that she should turn out to be such a well-balanced and loving dog.

Very best wishes,
Clive Barker

P.S. When Shirley turned 2 years old, I got two more puppies from Helene

 Dear Helene,

It is with great pleasure that we write a letter of recommendation for your GSD breeding services.

It took us two years to even think about another dog after our beloved 14 year old Shepherd passed away. You were so patient and wonderful during this time. My local vet highly recommended we talk to you, because he is the vet you often use and he sees the high quality of your dogs.

We have absolutely fallen in love with Kimo and at 5 months old he is a stunning GSD. Whenever we take him out in public, people fall all over themselves to compliment him on his beauty and exceptionally well-behaved temperament. He passed his puppy training class easily. I think he remembered everything you already taught him, and was the star of his class. We are now looking forward to intermediate training.

When we originally arrived at Helene's home in the mountain to meet her and saw her other dogs. We were most impressed with how she has the puppies in an open environment, one litter at a time. All the dogs came running out to greet us, happy and friendly. This carries through to teaching the new puppies the basics they will need with their new owners.

What is best about our relationship with Helene is her continued interest in Kimo's development. after we brought him back down to the desert from her mountain home. Whenever we have a question she answers them right away though email or a phone call. We always feel welcome to drive up to Helene's ranch for a free training lesson with Kimo.  We love talking him on long walks, because he is so gentle and responsive.

The entire experience has been and continue to be very pleasurable and rewarding for our family, and we feel fortunate that we were directed to Helene from Lenga's German Shepherds, and that she picked out such an exceptional and wonderful German Shepherd to bring back into our lives.

Sincerely,

 Dear Helene,

First let me just say what a genuine pleasure it has and will continue to be in the Wonderful World of German Shepherds, largely due to our close association with Helene Kohen. At this time I would like to make it clear to everyone, this letter of recommendation comes from the Heart as well as the mind. Some years back, my wife and I had lost our beloved companion, "Sniper" a large wonderful German Shepherd. He was from Germany. He was fierce, loyal, intelligent and a great all around family dog. I figured when he passed on , we would never see the combination of those attributes again. This is however, until (our great fortune) my chance meeting with Helene. I was looking for another German Shepherd at the time. This was some what to my suprise as well as Very Good Fortune again. I explained to Helene about the loss of our dog, which had now been over a year and a half. She was very understanding and explained why there were no puppies available at that particular time. Although she had puppies, they were all spoken for already! She proceeded to inform me of "Several" things pertaining to Shepherds, I had never considered. This is when I decided to wait for an opportunity to purchase one of her dogs, rather than just buy any Shepherd! Well, now I have 2 wonderful Shepherds from Helene. I can't begin to put into words how Helene has not only furnished one perfect Shepherd for me, but two. Our wonderful trained adult female, called Cypress, and later, our new puppy, Thor. She has been there every step of the way, literally. Her love and devotion to matching her Shepherds with people, is a real gift! She has knowledge, experience, patience and understanding and provides each family purchasing the dog or puppy, a "Complete Package", and I do mean "Complete"! Try and find that somewhere else! Now it was a few months after I had met Helene when she came up with a Marvelous plan to fix me up with her own personal Shepherds, I might add! If there was ever a more perfect reincarnation of Sniper, it was in her Cypress. She knew it, and felt it, after I had told her all about our Sniper. She has such a good heart! Cypress was so well trained, too, and Helene is an excellent trainer as well. I see similar traits in our new puppy, too, called Thor.(Later:) Never would I have guess it.......Thor has turned out to be one of the best Shepherds I could ever imagine! Cypress and Thor are everything we always wanted in our Shepherds, and we are so HAPPY with Them. I rarely recommend anything to anyone, but in my book, Helene Kohen is the BEST Breeder you could ever hope to find!

From the bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU
Ken and Jannie Boyd

Note: Ken and Jan also got a young adult female from me, called Cypress (Picture below)

Dear Helene,

This letter is well deserved, and I'm proud to be writing it. This is in regard to a German Shepherd puppy, that I call, "Hermie", that I got from Helene, from Lenga's German Shepherds.

I told Helene that I wasn't that experienced with puppies, and needed a perfect puppy that would teach himself pretty much everything he needed to know, and that I wanted a puppy that was not destructive, and was very intelligent, and would pick up things easily, and just an all around great dog with the kids, that would be trained and socialized already.

I did not think this would be possible, but I was hoping, wishing and praying somehow Helene would pick out such a puppy for us. My expectations were met to my every detail. I was amazed and astonished at how well behaved our Hermie was when we brought him home. Helene spend so much time with me, going over step by step how to raise him, and how to keep up the words that he already knew. He was the most wonderful dog I have ever owned. Not just in great looks, but the most amazing personality you can imagine!

If you want an exceptional German Shepherd puppy, I recommend Helene very highly. She keeps her promises, and is always there for you if you need any help. You cannot go wrong if you get a puppy from Helene.

Sincerely yours,

Neil Goldschein

 Loki's Reference Letter:

To any future German Shepherd buyers! Helene from Lenga's German Shepherds is a terrific breeder full of knowledge and love for the German Shepherd dog! From day one you will be impressed by Helene's dedication to you and finding the best dog for you and your family! Loki was our second GSD from Helene and from the beginning we felt so blessed to have our two wonderful Shepherds from Helene. Loki is  one year old, and already 95 pounds, and still growing. I recently had a baby, and Loki turned out to be so gentle and calm around my baby.

Loki had a 9 hour drive to our home in Nevada, and was so well behaved during our long drive, thanks to Helene's early car training. He already knew his basic obedience of come, sit, stay, and to follow us on a lead on or off the leash. We just had to use the words he already knew, and when taking him to Obedience School, he was the smartest puppy there. I felt so proud of him. He has a big appetite for food and life. Loki lives to please. We take both Loki and our first German Shepherd Sage, we also got from Helene everywhere we go, as they are both so well mannered and such a please to have around. Sage is also very gentle and calm around my baby.

If you are looking for a top quality German Shepherd, look no further. Helene is wonderful and her dogs really Do Tug on your Heart Strings! They were both worth their money in gold. I'm so happy I choice Helene to get my two German Shepherds from. Thank you so much for providing us with the best 2 dogs anyone could ever hope to have.

Hugs, Becky Pulver

 To anyone thinking about getting one of Helene's puppies,

I'm sure you have heard the old saying, if it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't true. Well, when I first read what all Helene promised, if you bought one of her puppies. I had second thoughts. But when Helene sent me the puppy package for me to look at, to choose a puppy and get to pick the Mom and Dad, and the results were: Her puppyies were awsome. I thought Wow ! If nothing else I would get a beautiful dog, Well, Helene's promises were all carried through.

First of all, she sends you pictures of the puppy at least twice a week if not more. It ws so exciting. I could hardly wait to get home to see the new pictures. Helene asks you what qualities you want in your puppy ? Active, or calm or protective and other qualities? I thought how can she determine that? Well, Helene does !  My puppy, Xina is active and protective, just want I wanted.

 My son, also purchased a female puppy, and his is exactly what he wanted, a black and tan, and the biggest female in the litter, that is gentle, but also protective. He has 3 children, and she is so gentle with them. The best thing is, that if you have any questions after you bring your puppy home, Helene answers all your questions within a day. Like my Xina was minding great, and then I had to work for 3 days, and when I was off she was a little monster. I asked Helene what to do, and she wrote back right away, and I followed her instructions and within a day Xina was back to my sweet and obedient girl.

Xina has never pooped in the house, and she was great for not having a doggie door, thanks to Helene's early training. Xina acturally learned how to go to the door and let me know she had to go outside. Another great thing, Helene crate trains, and when Xina was tired, she would just go straight to her crate to sleep. My son and I looked and researched for almost a year to find a good breeder before we found Lenga's German Shepherds. To show you how smart Xina is, at only  11 weeks old, she was laying down by the couch where my husband was watching TV, and Xina was chewing on her ball, while laying on her back, and then she placed the ball down she would push the ball towards my husband with her snout, to let him know she wanted him to throw it to her. Helene also showed me how to play "Hide and Seek" with her, to teach her always to watch me, instead of me watching her all the time, and now she doesn't take her eyes off me when we go outside. I could go on and on, but if you want a really exceptional puppy, Helene's German Shepherds are worth every penny!

 Xina's Mom, Marty Thompson

Dear Helene,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Helene for helping me find what I believe is the best German Shepherd puppy one could ever hope for! I researched breeders for two years prior to finding Helene, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a puppy. Helene's love for her dogs is immediately apparent. The first time I spoke with her on the phone I was convinced that she was the right breeder for me. I waited 8 months for the right dog, and I put my faith in Helene to pick a puppy that I requested. Helene welcomed me into her home, introduced me to all of her dogs, and showed me her facilities for breeding the puppies. I had never seen such beautiful, confident, and friendly German Shepherds in my entire life! What drew me to Helene was her emphasis on her dog's personality. I wanted a gentle dog, that would be confident and well behaved in any situation. I take Wylee with me EVERYWHERE, and people can't help but stop and comment on how beautiful and well behaved he is. Although he is only 4 months old, he knows all of his commands, waits by my side regardless of whether he is on the leash or not, and is always friendly and gentle with adults and small children alike. When I brought Wylee home at 7 1/2 weeks, he already knew his name, how to walk on a leash, sit, use a doggy door, and relieve himself outside. Again, this is testimony to the love and attention Helene provides for all her dogs from the minute they are born. I have never experienced any behavioral problems with Wylee whatsoever. He patiently lays at my feet while I work throughout the day and is always up for a game of fetch with his Frisbee (his new favorite toy!), or a walk on the beach. Because I work from home, I wanted a gentle companion to accompany me throughout the day. I also wanted a large dog, that I could take hiking, skiing, and camping. Wylee is 4 1/2 months old, he's already 65lbs, and he has accompanied me on many hikes and back country ski trips. He spends his days and nights in the house with me, and has never acted out or damaged any property. Every day I have people stop me to tell me that he is one of the most beautiful dogs they have ever seen, and I couldn't agree more. Aside from providing me with all I ever wanted in a puppy, Helene is ALWAYS available to answer questions about her dogs. I continue to call her for advice, or just to say hello and tell her how her puppy is doing. Helene can provide a wealth of knowledge about raising a puppy, and I would encourage prospective buyers to trust her expertise. The art of raising a puppy is not always intuitive, and there is no substitute for the years of experience Helene has to offer. If you are considering purchasing a German Shepherd puppy, please don't hesitate to call me directly. I would be happy to answer any questions regarding my puppy, or my experiences with Helene and her wonderful dogs. I couldn't be happier with my German Shepherd, Lenga's Wylee Von Kona! Helene, I can't thank you enough for providing me with everything I ever wanted in a puppy.

Best Regards,
Geoffrey Coulehan

Hi Helene,

I have been meaning to write for months but since I moved my computer

downstairs to the basement in order to make a baby room, I have been

too lazy to walk down and use it. Mike's computer doesn't take

pictures from camera's very well so it has to be done from mine.

We are loving Sadie. She is growing soooo fast, it is hard to remember

she is still so young. She is already close to 50 lbs. When we took

her in for her first shots, after the series you had given her, the

vet was blown away at how beautiful she is and how well put together

she is. She has finished all her shots and we have taken her to the

dog park so she can socialize and have enrolled her in obedience

training in order to train with distractions. She is doing very well.

She doesn't jump and she sits wonderfully and has learned stay and

down until released. Thanks to your early training. It was worth every penny

to have her trained and socialized by you when she was very young.

Which made the adjustment so much easier for her and us.

She walks great on a leash and because of it, she is so fun to walk.

I am sending some pictures and you will see how much she has grown.

The one of her on the beach was her first visit, and she loves the

water. The last one is of my and my pregnant belly and her. I tend not

to smile much with photos since I have braces on at this time. The one

of Sadie and Mike is my favorite, I am going to have that one blown up

and framed.

I am glad you wrote, it forced me to go downstairs and upload photos.

Take care and don't worry, we are loving our "little girl", my nickname for her.

Love,

Maria and Mike

Hi Helene,

Sadie keeps surprising me. I took her for a walk for the first time

with the stroller and she was amazing. She walked on a loose leash and

wanted to walk beside the stroller and not me, so I let her. Every

time my baby,Alan made a noise, she poked her head in to check if he was all

right. I had people stopping in their cars to comment on how beautiful

and well mannered she is. We came upon people walking and other dogs

and she did beautiful. She sat when I told her to and went into a down

when told.

Yesterday, I didn't know where she went and I found her laying on the

carpet in front of the crib while Alan was sleeping. I usually shut

his door to keep things dark and quiet but I will leave it open a

little bit now so that she can keep an eye on her baby. I had him down

on the carpet on a quilt today to do some playing and she laid down

next to us to keep an eye on things.

Thanks for such a wonderful dog and to think, she is still so young.

We love her and to all the people who thought having a puppy and baby

at the same time, they never had a Sadie.(One of Helene's puppies)

Thanks Helene. I have included a picture of her in front of the crib

and next to my best friend on the couch when she was holding Alan.

Love,

Maria

Hi Helene,

Winston is almost 13 weeks now, and is doing fantastic! From day one he has been such a good puppy. He is so good with my two girls, ages 3 and 5 years old. He is so calm and mellow. I don't know how you did it, Helene, but his personality is just what we wanted. I cannot tell you how much he has exceeded all my high expectations! Winston is such an amazing dog. He loves to hang out with me where ever I am in the house. He loves his morning and evening walks, and is so good on the leash. He sleeps in our room now and is just a pleasure. We waited a long time for him, and he was so wortht he wait. He is so perfect in all ways. He is growing by the minute, too. Will send more pictures soon.

Thank you, Helene for giving us the best puppy, we could ever hope for.
