Also considering Schutzhund training my ACD. Going to a club this week to talk with members.

I am the proud owner of Naia (born March 18, 2008). She's doing great and is the most loving and loyal dog I've ever owned or seen! And to those who are wondering whether or not this breed is suitable for family or city life, they sure can be. Naia spends a majority of her time guarding me, and playing with her brother Monty. What a great dog and amazing breed!

Michaella is the best dog I've owned great with the kids mine and strangers kids and still protective but very stable I don't worry about her biting someone for no reason or getting into fights I keep her well socialized. She is almost 2 years old and is 23inches and about 75 pounds strong and Beautiful. She doesn't mind the cold to much she will jump in ice water you never told me they could be so good in the water she will retrieve people from the water with no real training doesn't try to climb you she wants to work will swim circles around me and be waiting to pull me in she has towed us many times in tubes. She makes us feel safe at home and on the water Thanks very much for breeding these great dogs Carlos Machado.

I'm very interested in this breed and am looking to import them here to the US sometime this year. Just starting to contact breeders and looking forward to help establish them in this country.

I baby lived to be 15yrs old. She was the protector of my family,our best friend.We bought her in Hawaii and For years we did not know what breed she was. We've like in about 5 differnt states and I've never seen another like her. Thanks to the internet I found her breed. I would really like another. I highly recommend her breed.

I am very interested in your dogs,do you currently have any available? I am interested in a quality bitch. I am currently getting back into some of the doggie sports. I am very interested in herding, there is some type championship held in Heber valley Utah every year with dogs from all over the world. Anyway I look foward to hearing from you. Thanks,Frank

I spoke briefly with you yesterday. Thank you taking the time to speak with me. I am very interested in purchasing a puppy from you. I talked with one other breeder and they recommended you. I train dogs in Schutzhund and it seems like the ACD has all the tools to do very well in this type of sport. Dogs with a high prey drive, confidence, good nerves, and athletic do very well. You mentioned to me that you had a litter coming up that would possibly produce puppies with good working dog qualities. I would prefer an ACD that is on the taller side, but it is not crucial. When do you expect a litter? Do you have a phone number or contact of someone you sold a dog to for schutzhund work or a similiar sport. I would like to talk with them to see how they are working out. Thank you very much for your time.

John: Strider, our ACD, who is one of your dogs, is about to turn 8 yeras old. He's from Duke and Kucha, I beleive. He's doing great, very healthy and happy. He's a big hit with strangers because he is so friendly (and handsome). Also popular with veterinarians since he's so rare. He's the best dog and we really love him. Couldn't ask for better. I hope you'll keep raising ACD's as I'm sure we'll have another one of these days. Thanks again, Chris
