+4Everything was excellent!!!!! Never had such a wonderful, laid back puppy!!! Adjustment has been no problem whatsoever!!!! Ranger is a doll!!!! Just absolutely house broken from day one!!!!! We have gotten lots of toys so we can redirect him any time he decides to be a land shark and bite on us!!!! Lots of teething but to be expected…. Loves on everyone…. Not real thrilled with lawn service…. Does not like blower!!!! Has slept in bed with us since first night…. Watches a movie for an about 5 minutes then goes to foot of bed and sleeps all night…. Unless we have to get up…. So he goes out to potty also…. Range’s breeder, BJ Moore has been there for me every step every day…. I can call her anytime and she answers all my questions…. Sends me links, things to ask vet, sent pics of food… even before we got Ranger I had all the food and vitamins ready I talked to BJ several times and told her we wanted a very laid back GS… She sent Ranger!!! We raised labs for many years and decided to go with a GS puppy and this has been fabulous!!!!! Ranger is a part of our family and has been with us for almost 3 weeks…. Has been to vet and everything is fine….!! Thank you BJ and What a Heart Wants for a companion that will be with us for a long time!!!!!
