Staff is very very caring and go the extra mile from coming to take them for walks at home, bring them home from daycare. And always willing to take them on unscheduled days/last minute needs.

Also having extra benefits such as grooming/nails and all during daycare is amazing, one stop shopping. They keep you up to date too if anything arises during care. Wonderful!

Our silver lab puppy attended the 2 week Board & Train at about 5 months and then again at 1 year. We were given all the tools ( leash, E-collar, cot etc. ) as well as a training session for us . We learned how to follow up and consistently apply the training strategies that they had worked so hard to instill in our pup. Our sweet girl is coming along beautifully with such commands as heel,, sit/down, stay, here, and staying on place. "On place" is awesome! When put on place, our dog will remain comfortably on her cot and will not leave it until we give her the prompt. Great for when guests come to the door, when we are eating, when I need to get some cleaning done. Every member of the staff is helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and very very devoted to the health and well being of all the dogs. They are there for you when questions or concerns arise and dedicated to helping your dog be a well mannered, well trained member of the family.

Foster mom answered our questions like if he's good with kids why my kid is with us. She said yes and gave us the card and told us how to apply to adopt the doggy. We spend about an hour filling out the application just for Ma, paws and me to just say they don't let families with kids under 4 adopt. End of story. We reach back out to say we are experienced with the type of breed the dog is but no response. On their website they state that they will just turn people away without explanation. Poor customer service and poor doggies. You know why they have 11 pages worth of dogs on pet finder? Because they don't let anyone adopt their dogs. It's like a pit Bull/ terrier monopoly. No one else is fostering out as many as them to just not end up in a forever home.

A few weeks with Kate was a great investment for Molly and the rest of our family. Once the initial excitement of having Molly back home wore off, she was much more focused, listened to commands, and was significantly better behaved. Kate continues to be a wonderful resource. She really cared for our dog and showed her the respect and love that our family gives Molly. We look forward to continue working with her in the future!

Luckily, we found Kate and she put all of our worries aside. After meeting Kate, we knew she was our answer on training these puppies. They entered the Day Camp program.

We now have a life long relationship with Kate and the puppies continue to participate in group training sessions. Our puppies are often complimented on their wonderful behavior.

I have bred and shown a sporting breed for over 35 years. I have always loved German Shepherds and…read morewanted to do performance work with them. The time is finally right for me to make the commitment to a GSD. Thus, I researched German Shepherd breeders in the Wisconsin area for months and really wasn't finding the "right" one until I found Clayton Warichak's website. I called him to find out more about his dogs and his breeding program. (basically to interview him a little!) I wanted to meet his dogs and see for myself what they were like before deciding if they were right for me. He invited me out to a training he offers every other weekend. (all at no cost). All of the dogs are his breeding and range in age from puppies to adult dogs providing a good age range, enabling me to see structure, temperament, and development along a broad timeline. This also provided me with an opportunity to meet and talk to the many owners, who had a mix of interests in what they were doing with their dogs. I learned of a breeding he was planning and would have puppies born in about three months. After meeting him, his wife, his son, the dogs, and all of the owners of the dogs I knew this was the breeder and line of dogs that I wanted. We agreed that I would get a first pick male puppy from that breeding. He said that because I came out and met him and the dogs he appreciated my sincere interest and would like to work with me also. I was most impressed because not only was I interviewing him, but he was interviewing me. This showed me he was sincerely careful of where his puppies went and who they went with. This is a quality of a truly outstanding breeder. As the time grew closer to the birth of the litter, Clayton kept in regular contact with me, even sending me pictures of the mother's ultrasound showing how many pups there were. The day the pups were born, Clayton called me many times during the course of the day as each puppy was born. (Clayton whelps his litters himself). My gratefulness and excitement was beyond words. It only confirmed that I had made the right decision. Several weeks later I went to his house to pick out my puppy. Being new to the breed I wanted his evaluation and guidance. We critically evaluated all six males carefully. After 35 plus years of breeding GSDs I value and trust Clayton's opinion completely. Several weeks later I went to pick up my puppy (Pan). I was provided with a Litter Certificate, showing Pan's pedigree, a written hip and health guarantee, and a bag containing toys, a collar, and a leash. Clayton also provides the entire regiment of puppy shots over the coming months at no cost. Pan is the most wonderful little guy, full of personality and playfulness. He absolutely loves and plays with my three grandchildren. He learns fast knowing basic commands and is only just 3 months old. He is friendly to everyone including my 12.5 year old sporting dog. Pan represents the carefully planned breedings that Clayton does. Clayton studies pedigrees and carefully plans every breeding. He provided me with pedigrees and pictures of Pan's breeding before Pan was born at my request. His dogs are thoughtfully and carefully bred with enormous knowledge. These dogs can fill a variety of interests from living in family homes to working as police-k9 or in search and rescue, along with agility, conformation, and also Schutzhund (IGP). Clayton is always there to help guide me and answer all of my questions. He returns my phone calls timely. He is a person of extremely high integrity. He has been awarded The Best Dog Breeder in Jefferson County 3 times. If you are looking for a GSD with good health, high trainability, intelligence, and temperament, look no further. If you are looking for a breeder who is caring, honest, and ethical along with having extensive experience in confirmation and Shutzhund events, look no further. There is something truly special about Clayton, his dogs, and the Stadtrand Family that he has created with his dogs. Clayton's dogs are the entire package. You won't go wrong choosing this breeder.

My puppy is coming 2/12....purple female…read more My first GSD was sired by a Von Der Stradtrand dog and out of an import owned by another breeder. I could not have been happier and my dog lived to be almost 14. My dog was a true soldier to my family, a great pet, ptsd support animal and best friend-a true fur son and as I called him my "Dog man" lol...he was everything and when I saw a litter born 12/20....the same day he passed away I knew I had to have one.... even if a girl this time....which I'm looking forward to. My dog came out of the box at 12 weeks potty trained, never chewed or bit ....he was a model puppy in behavior. We understand that's rare but he was born intelligent and with a great love of humans. He would not eat until the human said to....even though we never taught that! He was always focused on me and gentle with my grandkids and his cat (Pumpsy). We already love our new girl and all we've seen is a couple photos. The whole litter is spectacular and it was hard picking between the 3 Clayton liked for us. I'll update with photos after she settles in. So grateful 14 years later that Clayton and family are still breeding great dogs. If we ever want another we will be back. Wish we lived closer to him to join the training! Signed, --excited new owner--
