This breeder is first class in many respects. We knew exactly what we wanted in reaching out to Linda and she responded immediately. We had a wonderful conversation and her knowledge of the GSD breed is deep. Little did we know ... we were being interviewed as we were interviewing her. We were invited to come to her facility ... we were impressed. From the puppies to the old-timers, all dogs were happy and very well taken care of. The facility was clean and wonderfully setup. Linda and her son know very well what they are doing. We were able to meet and interface with several dogs and meet the parents and grandfather of the puppy we chose. They equipped us with information and supplies for our first week and they were readily available for the few questions we later had. This is our 4th GSD so we have worked with a few other breeders, and this was by far the best experience we have had. Our puppy, Nzinga, quickly adapted to her new surroundings, potty trained within days of being with us, and with the socialization they perform she has integrated into our lives quickly, and this includes a resident mature GSD. If, and when the time comes for another GSD we are certainly going back to them.

Linda is very knowledgeable about her dogs. Pleasant to talk to and gave many hints on how to transition the puppy easily. Probably the best puppy I have ever had. A quick learner. Picked up most of the basic commands after just a couple of trys. Almost fully potty and crate trained in just a couple of days. A companion well worth the investment.

Linda is a wonderful and caring breeder. She is also very organized. You leave with a binder of information, vaccines, vet report, feeding... I loved it. Our puppy is beautiful and we love her. We feel lucky that we found Diamond Oaks on Good Dog and will recommend them to others looking for a GSD.
