Nikki Banfield is a Dog Trainer & Working Line German Shepherd Breeder. If you are looking for a…read moregerman shepherd puppy, Nikki is the person you want your dog from. Her experience and knowledge of the german shepherd dog breed is beyond any research you could find. You want a breeder who cares about the breed and breeds to make the breed better, that is Nikki. She cares about all of her dogs and their progeny. I contacted her because she recently had a litter due. She spent much time with me asking me what I was looking for (I am looking for a family dog I can train and do schutzhund with as opposed to a police k9 dog, or a family dog, ) and answering all of my questions. I very much got the sense from her that she will stay involved with us to help us adjust to life with a puppy (we have a cat and she offered to assist us in how to teach the puppy boundaries with the cat). This is a characteristic that is very important to me in a breeder because it shows me that she cares about the dog and where he/she is going and that she cares about us too and that we have a good experience. I don't live in PA anymore and she offered to look into the clubs out here and make recommendations on where we can train. This is so important to me and I am very grateful.

Hello ! I purchased…read moreour shih tzu, almost 3 years ago! He is a 15 lb super healthy boy. He has some food allergies but that is typical with the breed, we just feed him grain free food . The place was very clean and did not smell of animals as some places do . I saw our shih tzu on a Friday and fell in love , he was happy , playful, super clean and adorable. We came back on a Monday , told the man that was the one we wanted and he got him all together for us. He was nice and had an easy going personality with a bit of humor :) I would easily buy another dog from jacks dog farm...

I would like to write a rebuttal to Karen S's review…read more FACT: We purchased two female golden retriever puppies from Melodie three years ago. My husband and I have had golden retrievers for 25 years, so we're kind of experts. I knew immediately, upon meeting Melodie, that she was the one from whom we wanted to buy our puppies. She met with us for a long time and went over all their documented vet visits, their health records, and their lineage. FACT: Prior to picking out our puppies, she took us around the huge property--it's a lovely farm just outside of Ithaca. She introduced me to her horses, all the dogs, and even the mama pig that had just had a litter! The puppies have the ideal set-up: Melodie has the puppies in a barn with their own compartments, each nested with their own litter, thus they stayed with their siblings (at the time we met them, they were five weeks old, and she had two litters). Their "rooms" led outside to a straw-filled pen where the moms were allowed to interact with the puppies. I loved this setting; because they were used to "going" outside, therefore they were so easy to potty train! They were very happy puppies and never even whimpered once we got them home. They were not at all timid or skittish; they played right away with our older golden Maddie, who was eight at the time. Perhaps Karen S is more accustomed to hyper personalities like Australian Shepherd dogs exhibit and should stick with that breed... FACT: Melodie was very fussy about their diet and showed us what she had been feeding them, which is what the vet recommended. Her dogs were so healthy, in fact, that our vet in Elmira purchased his golden from Melodie too; and he grew up on a farm with goldens all around him. He thought our goldens were the healthiest he's ever seen. FACT: Her grown up dogs, the mamas and the papa Caluha, all wander in and out of Melodie's home. She has a huge yard that is fenced in, along with a large pond in which the dogs play. I see that Karen S bought her dog in November, when typically the dogs remain inside; we bought our girls in July, summer of course, and everyone was outside playing in the pond! FACT: Subsequently, we have had two friends who have purchased goldens from .Melodie. One male friend stops by to see us quite often to show how proud he is of the golden boy that he has; another set of friends, who lost their male golden last year, just bought one -- they've had her two weeks now and said she never once whimpered. FACT: We have a business in our home, a construction business, and our customers comment on how calm our girls are--they always assume they're much older than three years old. Melodie is truly an expert at breeding calm, perfect golden retrievers--and we would never look elsewhere! We are on the waiting list now for both a boy and a girl puppy. I'm not sure why Karen felt so strongly about this to post but you may be assured--this is NOT A PUPPY MILL! Eileen P
