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,

Note: One Reference letter is just not enough to say all the wonderful things about Helene and her wonderful German Shepherds from Lenga's German Shepherds in S.CA. I am now contemplating a second puppy from Helene.

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

 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,

Jan Hawkins

 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!

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
