My Nadelhaus German Shepherd, Ripley, is almost three years old. She's gorgeous, healthy, and has…read morea wonderful temperament. She is always up for any activity you wish to engage her in, but she is also chill enough to just hang out at the house and will not drive me crazy if I don't have time to exercise her or stimulate her that day. I started taking Ripley to socialization and training classes at Nadelhaus when she was a puppy. The classes were very helpful. When Ripley was almost a year old, I signed her up for Nadelhaus's board and train for 13 days while we were out of town. She came home nailing basic obedience and had a nearly perfect heel. We were extremely impressed. We continued to reinforce the training at home, and followed up with more training and boarding as needed, and now I have such a wonderful dog who I get compliments on any time we are in public. I take her with me to the bus stop to pick up my daughter and she walks heeling next to me off leash. Even better, her understanding of "Heel" is something I have been able to translate into having her run with me while I bike. Eventually when she has the proper stamina I will take her on trails with me. I also taught her "Leave It" and if I give her this command she will walk right by a cat, squirrel, or bird off leash and stay on my heel. Her restraint and dedication to me is amazing. She has such a desire to please and is so trainable. She is also great with my kids, who were 1 1/2 and 3 when we got her. She plays with them outside and when we bike or play outside she whines and gets amped if she can't put eyes on them. I can release her Heel and tell her "Free" and she will run right over to them. I have no doubt she would handle business if anyone ever threatened them. If you're thinking of a German Shepherd, Traci's dogs, facilities and staff are the best you can get. Your dog will be beautiful, trainable, strong, and everything a GSD should be. Traci, even three years after her sale, still answers my calls when I call with a question. I love being able to board my dog there when I need to and the training has been invaluable. These folks know their dogs and are experts in breeding, training and dog behavior in general.

*****UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026******** Another of Xavier's…read morepuppies just received a fatal diagnosis of renal displaysia. How many puppies have to suffer and die, Traci? The puppy's story is not mine to tell, but it's clear that Traci is willing to roll the dice with the health of her breeding program. She remains unbothered. TRACI ALSO MISREPRESENTS XAVIER'S SV INFORMATION. Xavier's official SV (German) registration and the Pedigree Database confirm he was born Feb 12, 2020. Traci advertises him on the Nadelhaus website as being born Feb 12, 2022. By "shaving off" two years, she hides how long he has been over-bred and makes him appear like a "younger, healthier" investment to unsuspecting buyers. Schutzhund Inactivity: Despite marketing her dogs as high-level working dogs, the USCA confirms she has not been active in the sport for 14 years. This inactivity allows her to avoid the rigorous breed surveys and health inspections that active SV/USCA members must undergo.

At RiverDog Ranch, your dog gets to run and play with other friendly dogs and cool off when the weather's warm, splashing in the kiddie pool or running through the sprinkler. Lyn supervises the fun at all times and sends pics and updates during your dogs' stay. The minute we pull into her driveway, the dogs bark with excitement and cannot wait to get out of the care and greet Lyn. We have never felt guilty leaving our pups with her (which is no small feat) and have been going to Murray's RiverDog Ranch for nearly fourteen years. My in-laws were her first customer years ago and when my sister-in-law had her Corgie, she would take her weekly to Lyn's day camp to socialize and get the Corgie energy out. Lyn has become part of our family, and treats all of us (dogs especially) like we were her own.
