My Family decided to name our dog Abby. We fell in love with her from the moment I picked her up at the airport.When I let her out of the crate she would not leave my side and when she saw my wife Jill and Daughter. She has become very good at training, learning sit, platz, stay, come and even crawl. She is a pleasure to have. Thank you again for breeding such a wonderful puppy!

Zulu vom Banach November 2007
Zulu has his AKC and UKC CDX . He went High in Trial at the Longview~Kelso club show. He was the highest scoring German Shepherd at the Washington State German Shepherd Dog club and the Oregon German Shepherd dog club in 2006. He missed going High in Trial at several other shows by 1/2 a point or a point. One time he got 198.5 and only got second in his class. Good Dogs that day! He is doing well with his UD work and I will probably show him sometime this coming spring.

Luthien Vom Banach
Just got back from the GSD Nationals in Colorado. Thought you might like to know that Luthien was entered in agility and came home with 3 first places and a 3rd place and earned both of her Open Agility titles there too! We also had her Temperament Certified and she passed the test with flying colors. In fact in the last 5 weeks she has earned her Rally Advanced and Companion Dog Titles in obedience and her Open Fast title in agility together with her successes at the Nationals. I am so impressed with her because she really only started her show career in June. She is an awesome dog with a sweet nature an everyone who meets her loves her. Thank you for this Awesome, fun, special girl. We couldn't love her more!

Personal Companion Dog " Ruby vom Banach"
Hi Julie,
I love this dog! After owning American - Bloodline German Shepherds I know now that my expectations were gradually lowered- but now with Ruby I have a complete dog.
When I read this by Captain von Stephanitz I thought he could just as accurately been writing about Ruby.
" Horand embodied for the enthusiasts of that time fulfillment of their fondest dreams. He was big for that period, between 24" and 24 1/2", even for the present day a good medium size, with powerful frame, beautiful lines and a nobly formed head. Clean and sinewy in build, the entire dog was one live wire. His character was on a par with his exterior qualities; marvelous in his obedient fidelity to his master, and above all else the straight forward nature of a gentleman with a boundless zest for living. Although untrained in puppyhood, never the less obedient to the slightest nod when at its masters side; but when left to himself, the maddest rascal, the wildest ruffian and incorrigible provoker of strife. Never idle, always on the go; well disposed to harmless people, but no cringer, mad about children and always in love. What could not have been the accomplishments of such a dog if we, at that time, had only had military or police service training? His faults were the failings of his upbringing, never of his stock. He suffered from a superfluity of unemployment energy, for he was in heaven when someone was occupied with him and was then the most tractable of dog"
When you introduced her to me I felt as though there was an instant connection. Now I better understand that she would have connected with anyone holding the ball, but even so as I got to know her better I had that comfortable, secure feeling you get when it's though you've known someone for a long time.
I figured out where that feeling originates from; it comes from beliefs going back to my childhood as to what a great dog would be. Because I have held onto that notion for so long, I came to know that dog even if only in my mind.
So when that dog appeared before me with that slobbery ball in her mouth, it wasn't our first meeting at all. Ruby claimed a place in my life in a natural; almost matter of fact way, like a puzzle piece placed where it belongs. In Ruby I have a dog that to be close will lie on the hard tile at my feet as I work, rather than on the soft dog bed a few feet away.
Warmest Regards,
Gary Fujioka Sr.

Julie,
Just wanted to give you a quick update on K9 Quest. We had disaster training this past weekend, and K9 Quest did a great job. This was his first seminar and there were a lot of distractions and challenges for all of the dogs. The trainer/evaluator was very impressed with him. His nerves were rock solid in everything we asked of him. After seeing him work on the debris pile, she said she expects to see him certifed as a Disaster Dog in the future since he had great nerves and had very high comfort level working in debris piles. We also worked all of the dogs on temperament and directionals and agility. K9 Quest did terrific, especially with the directionals. This was the first time he had ever worked directionals and he was one of the best of the weekend. He was also the youngest dog there. Everyone was very impressed with him and commented on his incredible structure and good looks too. I have attached several pictures for your
