    I could write a novel about this dog but I’ll keep it short. Our experience with Julie’s Shepherds was perfect. Excellent and consistent communication - the weekly updates really helped us form a connection with her as a family from afar. I drove from Pennsylvania to get her in Kentucky and I’d do the drive all over again for her. I knew I’d won the lottery when she was a complete angel for the entire drive home. William answered my many questions and I felt very set up for success with her. He really loves his dogs and takes excellent care of them. The advice I got was detailed and informed. His responses were very quick and reliable. I had contacted multiple breeders initially and his responsiveness and knowledge led me to choose him over some who were more local to me. Krypto is a patient, intelligent, loving puppy. I’ve never known a dog who just so desperately wants to be a “good girl.” We’ve had her for a month now and it took her no time at all to learn basic commands. She’s constantly sitting at my feet and rarely leaves my side. She loves children and has been very non-reactive to their antics. She’s a regular at the baseball league. She doesn’t mind other dogs, even when they’re being reactive. People are constantly praising her behavior and overall demeanor and all I can say is it’s good breeding. She’s showing great potential for protection dog training and we look forward to pursuing that with her. Our entire family loves her so much. She goes everywhere with us and we already can’t imagine life without her. Her vet exam was fantastic. She’s such a pleasant dog to work with and she’s in perfect health. She’s a gorgeous girl. This is our first shepherd but she won’t be our last. When we’re ready in a couple years to add a new family member, I’ll definitely be driving to Kentucky again.

    So far so good! Her first night home, last Sunday was pretty rough. The second night was much better and ever since then she has been waking up maybe once a night, we take her out to do her business. She has been a lot of fun. We all love her very very much. She is a little crazy no question about that!

    We are very happy with our experience with Julie’s Shepherd’s and also with Good Dog. William kept us informed on vet checks and sending us pictures. We would have no hesitation about recommending this breeder for your German Shepherd puppy.

    Julie and Bill were very responsive and answered all of our questions quickly. Baby girl came home just 2 weeks ago and she’s settling in nicely. Very confident, great temperament, and she even impressed everyone at her latest vet visit. Great experience and great dog.

    It was great. This is our third GSD and this experience has been the best. Weekly photos and videos before pick up and constant communication. The dog we selected is amazing. Great temperament and is extremely smart. He has picked up on things my other GSDs took awhile to learn. He is a great family member and look forward to the many years we will have together. If we were to add another GSD, we will definitely go back to Julie’s for sure!
