I found Red Rock K9 through my father, who had gotten to know Sam when searching for a Czech working line shepherd- a year later, we were in the market for a working line shepherd puppy for me, and my father suggested Red Rock K9- I researched the kennel, talked to Sam, and I sent my deposit- So far, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made! As it turned out, I had to wait 4 months for the puppies to be born and I don’t wait very well- Sam was very patient with all of my (many) calls and emails- I was impressed with his rapid responses and his up front answers- I loved all of the updates and photos chronicling the progress of the puppies once they were born- I actually flew out to Oklahoma to meet my puppy when she was 6 weeks old with my parents- Sam showed me all of his dogs and his family took us to lunch- He spent as much time with me as I necessary to answer my questions and I knew just what to expect- Sam has continued to follow up with Haddie with phone calls and emails, which is so unusual- Haddie is nearly 4 months old now- I get compliments on her everywhere we go- She is well behaved and has an unusually calm demeanor for such a young puppy- My friends and family cant believe what a nice, stable puppy she is- I have been introducing her to to as many new people, animals, and things as I can, but the most amazing so far is how she behaves with babies- she has been with one year old toddlers twin boys (under close supervision) and she instinctively knows to be gentle with them- She is very smart and I keep thinking she is going to open her mouth and tell me what she is thinking- I have just started working with a local trainer, and Haddie is a quick study- I cant wait to see how far she and I can go with her next level of advanced training!
I was a little hesitant to go to an out of state breeder I didn’t know, and buy a puppy without seeing the parents, the kennel, or the puppy at first- There are a lot of different types of people posing as dog breeders, and most of them frequently don’t deliver what they promise- This was quite a leap of faith for me- Sam certainly has delivered what he promised; Haddie is everything I wanted and hoped for- I would not hesitate to buy another dog from him and I would enthusiastically recommend Red Rock K9 to anyone looking for a german shepherd- my email address is courtney.gruber@gmail.com- I would be happy to provide additional information about my experience to anyone looking for a german shepherd puppy-
