Great with our Children

Showed great knowledge in his trade

Bought a 2 year old female German shepherd at Thanksgiving this year from Red Rock K9. She’s great with rambunctious small children and seems to know when they need her. She responds when they cry and plays but not to rough. She is so smart and has been obedient from her first day with us. Sam has always been great with returning phone calls and he’s very knowledgeable about his trade. I would not hesitate to recommend him or buy from him again.

Made us Feel So Much Safer in our Home

He is part of the family now

A few years ago our house was robbed. This event sent us on our search. We wanted a dog who was loving and loyal. A dog who was going to be protective of our family yet be adaptable enough to be around lots of new people and situations. We found that perfect combination in our RRK9 German Shepherd. Sam answered all of our questions both, before, and after Claus came to become an integral part of our family. We could not be happier with our decision to become a member of the RRk9 family. Thanks Sam & Linsey!

Made the Import Process Simple

Red Rock K9 made sure the transition went smooth and seamless.

We are so glad that we chose Red Rock K9 for getting our new girl. They were very prompt in their responses to our questions and bent over backwards in their efforts to get Cecilka here as fast as possible. They made sure that we were introduced to her in the proper manner so that she trusted us quickly and would insure a good bond. Since bringing her home they have been there to answer any questions we have had and have enjoyed our updates and pics. They have made importing a new family member quick and easy. Most importantly they brought Cecilka in and made sure she was comfortable and happy until we came to pic her up. Thanks Red Rock K9 for our wonderful new girl!!!

So in tune with their dogs its unbelievable

Felt Supported Even After I Received the Puppy

Red Rock K9’s is the perfect place to find that perfect German Shepherd! The owner is so in tune with their dogs its unbelievable. They start their puppy’s with imprint training, they are leash ready, down and stay ready, sit and stay ready and almost fully potty trained. Sam has his dogs so well trained, the dog will have a very short adjustment period when you bring your dog home. Remember, Sam has started your dogs training and you will want to continue the training. He also has a class for the new owner to help understand the type of training that your new dog has learned. Sam follows up with the new owner after the sell, just to make sure the adjustment has gone well and there are NO problems. Check his web site and look at his dogs and how well they do with his imprint training.

Smooth Process

Everything Sam told us was accurate

We are going into day 3 and our new dog is adjusting faster than expected. Sam everything you told us about her and what to expect is exactly as you said it would be. Sam was available at 11:00 pm Friday night when we picked up our dog from the airport to make sure everything went smooth, he has been there to answer any questions and has spent a lot of time on the phone answering questions and giving solid advice. Guys if your looking for a German Shepherd puppy or trained dog trust me….look no further. A big thank you to Red Rock K9. Sam I can’t begin to thank you for your help, customer service and dedication.

Perfect Fit for Our Family

Integrated with our other small dog perfectly

Sam worked diligently with us to find the perfect German Shepherd for our family. We were concerned about how our small dog would do with a large dog. Sam selected Yamori because of her submissive and sweet disposition. He allowed us several meeting times with Yamori at his place until we felt that she would be a fit. He then brought her to our home multiple times to introduce her to our little dog, giving us great advice and sharing his expertise along the way. Sam made himself available to us before and after bringing Yamori into our home. He truly showed concern for Yamori as well as our small dog. Yamori has been the most wonderful addition to our family. She is a super star–people stop us all of the time because she is so beautiful and well-behaved. She is so gentle with our little dog and our kids. Sam went above and beyond to make it a smooth transition for everyone involved. We highly recommend Red Rock K9 because of Sam’s professionalism and high standard of breed as well as his outstanding customer service.

Companion & Family Protection Dog

Love our Luna – Everything we hoped for in a dog.

When my wife and I decided to get our German Shepard Dog, we had a lot of questions having never owned one. Sam & Red Rock K9 were amazing to work with, answering all our questions and ensured our experience before and after the sale was all that we had hoped for. Our RRK9, “Luna”, is exactly what we were looking for in a companion and family protection dog, and everything Sam said she would be if we put in the work on top of his puppy imprint program. Thanks for helping us to welcome this wonderful girl into our family.

The Puppy Training was the Best Way to Go

Walks, fetch, and watching Golf Carts are his favorites!

Thanks to Red Rock K9 we have a very sweet and special German shepherd. Baron is a wonderful family member. He enjoys our daily walks, he loves to play fetch, and he likes to watch all the golf carts go by in the back yard. He also enjoys playing with other dogs and being social. Purchasing a puppy with imprint training is the best way to go for sure. We get so many compliments on how handsome he is too. Sam has always been there for us when we had questions about food, products, or training. We really appreciate all the help and suggestions along the way!

Master Agility Champion

This is more than a dog, Fionna helped me through one of the most difficult time of my life.

I wanted to share my story around how wonderful the experience has been for me in working with Sam and Linsey Vivona proud owners of Red Rock K9 in Edmond, Oklahoma.
As many of you know, I tragically lost my 4 year old GSD Indy about 2 years ago. I was more than devastated. I was really almost at the point of throwing in the towel and not go through the heart ache of training another GSD especially for agility. I had spent an enormous amount of time working with her due to her aggression issues and fear issues. We had worked through so much and actually got her all the way to a MACH and she was 2 double queues away from her MACH 2. Then in the blink of an eye, she was gone.

Before I got Indy, I had done so much research on German Shepherd breeders and before I lost Indy, Red Rock K9 never came up in any searches. About a week later, I just decided to do another search and up popped Red Rock K9. I had not decided on getting another puppy but just wanted to see what was out there. I read all of their information and watched every video. I was so impressed with their vision of really trying to ensure that families understood what they were getting into with the purchase of a GSD. The first thing that caught my eye was the price as I am sure it would for anyone. But I also know that you get what you pay for.

After a week or so, I filled out the on-line application and decided to discuss my needs with them. I did not indicate that I had just lost one as I did not want them to think that I was a bad doggie mom.
The other thing that impressed me right off the bat was the fact that they have a strong Christian faith which is very important to me. I really felt that God was pointing me in this direction.
I talked to Sam and discussed my needs. He then explained what they were trying to accomplish with their puppy training program. If puppies went to families that had basic obedience already, hopefully these dogs would have permanent forever homes and not end up in a shelter.

I was able to get on the list for a litter that was coming up in April of 2014. Once the litter was born, Sam posted weekly pictures so you could see how they were growing and posted videos on their training progress. I was a little skeptical at first regarding waiting until 10-11 weeks to pick up my puppy I must say.

After I picked Fiona out at about 8 weeks, a couple of weeks later Sam called me and indicated that he felt one of the other puppies showed more drive and that it might be a better fit for me. This was a direct result of the puppy training program. Sam was able to see how the puppies were progressing and as a result thought I should make a change. Had I picked this puppy up at 8 weeks old, I might have made a mistake. So I told him to make the switch and he did.

As a result, I now have a dog that has her Master Agility jumpers title at 23 months old and is working on her Master STD title. She also has an NACSW Novice Nosework title and two UKC Nose-work titles, and her Jr. dock diving title. She is not even two years old yet.

I will never purchase another GSD from any other breeder and will always have the puppy training completed before I pick up the puppy. Red Rock K9 is phenomenal and the price… we’ll all I can say is that it is worth every penny. I wanted to let potential GSD owners know what a quality dog you will get from this breeder. They spend hours training these puppies and ensure a healthy and safe environment. You will not go wrong with this breeder. They are not a breeder that will sell you a puppy and then you never hear from them again. They are with you forever.
Fiona helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life and I will be forever grateful that Red Rock K9 came into my life when they did. Fiona is a wonderful companion and I love her dearly

What an incredible experience it has been and one I will never forget.
Thank you Red Rock K9,
