Hope  is  a liver and  tan German Shepherd.

 Some thing I have wanted for a long time.

I've never  seen one in the flesh as there are very few in the UK.

 Those that have them seem to hide them away!!

 Well Hope is here  from the USA.

 She came  from my very good friend Melissa at k 9 pines

( the link is on my links page)

I have known Melissa for a few years now,

we built up a  great firm friendship over the internet and on the phone.

 I have been looking for a  good breeder in the USA for a long time.

I wanted some one I could trust  and  I  trust Melisa.

She has  reared Hope for me to save her going into quarantine here in the UK.

  She came over on the PET SCHEME  so  we were lucky  to be able to go

collect her from Gatwick airport, and home she came with us.

 Hope is  a big girl, long coat,  and has a very outgoing

friendly but laid back  temperament.

She has fitted in here so easy, so quick.

She will be hip scored etc  when  she is old enough.

Still has a bit of time  yet to mature.

We have great things planned in a year or two,

but we want to enjoy having our chocolate girl!!

 Stunning in looks, a real head turner.

 A very big thank you to Melisa and Jason

at k9 pines in North Carolina for  breeding

and letting us have such a fantastic chocolate  baby.. 

Pat & Paul.

A few years ago a man called Tony produced a solid liver pup

   he promised me that when he next mated his dog 

if he produced a solid liver. he would tell me. 

True to his word Tony emailed me to let me  know  that Ross had arrived.

If I wanted him he was mine.

Its so nice to find  somebody from  the other side of the world

who will trust  you with a precious baby.

A very very big THANK YOU Tony.

 

 Ross was flown to North Carolina to stay at  K.9PINES 

  Melisa  my good friend looked after him and took care of all his

requirements for the PET SCHEME.

He arrived  here in the UK  on a bright and sunny day  at Heathrow airport.

On arriving back in Gloucestershire we had snow it was cold .

Ross has settled in nicely  now loving being a house dog, 

likes his treats gets on well with  our dogs he will be hip scored in due  course.

Ross has a lovely temperament  his colour is fabulous though he is  short coat 

he carries  the long coat gene  we think his coat is really  very thick.
