My family and I wanted a GSD as a member of our family that could offer us a level of protection in our home. After much research, we came across Caine De Lup kennels. I looked through their Web site and decided to reach out to Alex for further information about his dogs. The response I received was very quick. I explained that we were interested in a female puppy of goog quality and health. After a few e-mails and a phone conversation we decided to meet Alex and possibly place a deposit on a future litter. Luckily, the kennel is located approximately 2 hours from our home. When we met Alex in person, he proved to be a man who had a superior knowledge of working GSD's. He explained to us that what we initially thought would be good for our situation, was actually not so good. He was professional and down to earth. He did not come across as arrogant or in a hurry. He explained that what would work best for us was a male with good drive, but not a competition level dog. He showed us a couple of very young males and pointed out the differences that existed between them. The choice was ours to make, but we decided to follow his suggestion and picked a very nice black 8 wk old male. The transaction was also professional and painless. After a few minutes back on the road, I received a call From Alex who stated that we had actually given him way too much money than what we agreed on. I was floored! He could have kept the money and never said a word, but he didn't. That alone speaks to his level of integrity. Our boy Ruger has proven to be very smart and an honest representation of what Alex said we could expect from the dog. He is a handsome specimen of the breed and gets major compliments from those who have seen him. Anyone looking for a serious breeder with great quality dogs should contact Alex at Caine De Lup kennels.
