MAY 15, 2009 - Victor and Cara just had 5 Beautiful Puppies born!!!!
We will be posting more
information and pictures in a few days hopefully.
This is our first breeding in over a year.
Frankly, the past year and a half has been pretty difficult for our family - death and disability among other things.
We have just had way more things to deal with than was possible this past year. We just had time enough to take good
care of our German Shepherds and not enough time to breed any puppies or to keep up with puppy email and our website.
But, it looks like things have settled down somewhat now finally and we are hopeful that the puppies born this
week will be the first of many to be born this year. We have really missed having puppies and are looking forward
to having them regularly again.
JUNE 18, 2008 - We currently have no new puppies available. If
you have written the last few weeks, we humbly apologize for not responding. We had a death in the family and have been
dealing with the aftermath of problems as well as trying to catch up on our own affairs and other business. We
plan to have puppies available this Fall so you can still submit puppy applications to be on our Waiting List for 2008.
We hope to be able to return to semi-normal and answering email in Mid-july, 2008. Thank you for your understanding. March
23, 2008 - Bridghid and Victor's 4 Puppies born 12-17-07 were announced on March 8, 2008 and as of March
23, 2008 they are all home with their new owners! It was great to see all of you and we are very happy with
the good homes we found for all 4 puppies! We are expecting more puppies soon and happy to get new Puppy Applications
for our 2008 Puppy Waiting List. Thank You!

March 8, 2008 NEWS
We have FOUR
(4) PUPPIES AVAILABLE NOW! There are 3 Girls and 1 Boy.
These babies
are from Bridghid and Victor and were born 12-17-08 . They
are priced at $800.
Pictures are
being posted now and Puppy Applications are welcomed.
We want to extend
our sincere apologies to everyone who has written the past few months. We could not keep up this Web Site or answer
emails for the past several months because we were overwhelmed caring for our 92 year-old father in his final days and weeks.
His declining health has been going on for a couple of years and has taken up a lot of our time. Dad finally passed
in February 2008. Now we are dealing with his estate but that takes much less time and energy. As an only child,
caring for his needs and keeping him in his own home to the end took enormous amounts of time and energy.
With all that
and many other things going on in our lives we just did not have adequate time to breed any puppies and to give them all the
time and attention they deserve. Bridghid and Victor’s breeding was a surprise since we missed breeding all our
other girls last year. We missed having puppies underfoot so these puppies got all of our attention and are spoiled rotten.
We plan to have a more active breeding program in 2008.
While we can not guarantee that we will be having more births over the coming months, the odds strongly favor
it. We are very hopeful that we will have several litters of puppies born this Spring and several puppies available
for adoption this Summer.
We have currently have 7 girls who are of prime breeding age this year and they come
into heat about twice a year (every 4-6 months) and can potentially be bred. We
are actively breeding all of them this year as they come into heat with our Handsome male GSD, Victor.
Gestation (pregnancy in dogs) is only
about 62 days. We hope we have other pregnancies underway right now.
There
is no good test to determine if a pregnancy exists until midway through it at about 30 days.
The surest pregnancy test is an x-ray, but we do not want to expose the
mothers or puppies to unnecessary x-rays so we are never totally certain we have a pregnancy until the last few days when
their breasts enlarge and begin to fill with milk. And finally, of course the total number of puppies is unknown until the
birthing process is completed which is a process that takes many hours. The average
litter is 6 puppies, but there can be 10-12 puppies in a litter!.
Anyway, the odds are good that we will
have several puppies available for adoption this Summer and Fall 2008.
Complete information about our adoption process, puppies and parents is available here on our Web Site:
We require that potential puppy buyers fill out our ONLINE PUPPY APPLICATION which is located on our Web Site. This will put you in line to adopt a puppy when they become available.
PUPPY APPLICATIONS for our
Waiting List ARE BEING ACCEPTED NOW.
We appreciate that adopting
a puppy is a major decision. We all make a considerable financial , time and emotional investment when we take a
German Shepherd puppy into our family. It is a long-term committment and we hope that you will take the time to
check us and our puppies out thoroughly.
There is a good reason why past German Shepherd owners always come back for a new German Shepherd puppy. They are
just the greatest all around dogs in the world!
Our website is never really
finished. If anything, we may have too much information here. Sorry about that! Yes, the print size is large
here, but we are in our 50s, go figure. But when we ourselves are looking for a new puppy, these are the things that
we want to know. We have tried to present as much information as possible about our puppies so that you can
make a wise adoption decision.
Our puppies are generally
priced at around $750 to $1000. Puppies from the Greta and Victor litter were $900 each.
Click on Victor and Bridghid Links on the left
side of this page to see pictures of the parents and to review their pedigrees.
We think our puppies are exceptionally beautiful
with wonderful spirit, genetic heritage and temperament.
Thank you for Visiting! - Lyle and Kathy Williams

 February 4-2006: The above pictures of a Puppy and his Boy are courtesy
of the Neece Family who picked up Heidi's Boy#3 (now named "Schultz") on 1-29-06. The pictures were just too adorable
not to post. ( even if it took an hour to upload the above cute
pictures on our 24k dialup connection out here in the boonies! I really think SBC/AT&T/Verizon/Ameritech/Illinois
Bell could get those "temporary" phone lines out of that muddy ditch down the road....they've been there for a year now
and have been sliced up to shreds twice now when our township road commissioner mowed the sides of our roads.
BIG NEWS: On 2/15/06 we are supposed to have Direcway Satellite installed!!!
We waited 2 years on a Wildblue Waiting List and they forgot about us and are sold out...damn you people in Chicagoland for
hogging amd filling up Wildblue Beam 28!! So reluctantly we are paying an arm and a leg for Direcway.
It had better be as fast as advertised! Then all those pictures we have been sitting on will be uploaded finally and
this site will stay more current!} The Neece Family wrote:

Hi Lyle and Kathy,
Just a quick update
on Schultz (Heidi’s Boy#3 Black Collar)--he's wonderful!
We had his well puppy
check with the vet last Monday, and he's a very healthy boy …………......He's doing really well with
housebreaking with only a couple accidents so far, and is pretty much crate trained. :0) We're most impressed with how
sweet he is with our one-year old. A*** loves to give Schultz lots of love, and Schultz patiently takes it all.
Schultz only really cried the first night here, and is happily settled in now! ...............

A WORD ABOUT USING PAYPAL.
PayPal is a Safe, Easy and very convenient way to send us money to pay your Deposit on the puppy of your choice.
BUT, do not give us an email address that you have used for PayPal (ebay) transactions in the past UNLESS that old PayPal
account is totally and perfectly setup and recently used, verified and already linked to a credit or debit card account
already! You will run into all sorts of confusion if you do this.
It is better and much easier to give us an email address to send our Deposit Invoice to that has Never Ever been
used with PayPal....that way making the payment is very very simple. Just have a credit or debit card handy to make
the payment.
