To Prospective buyers and all my friends at WCGS kennels, (including Monette and Bob) 

It is with the greatest pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Waterton Canyon German Shepherds.  Every time that I look at Kaizer or Sasha I am reminded of the care and concern that goes into the breeding, raising and upkeep of their dogs.  The Demuth's professionalism and love that is given to every dog at the kennel comes out loud and clear in each dog's composition, personality and drive.

In just the short time that I have known her, I have watched Monette grow in both knowledge  and commitment to the raising and placement of her dogs.        With years of experience and interest behind her, she is never to proud to search for more information and newer ideas to make her kennels one of the best around.  From       the dog runs and kennels, which are hygienically efficient to the supporting documentation and medical attention, I have complete confidence in the breeder and the dogs that       I have gotten from the WCGS kennels.

Getting a GS dog has always been one of my dreams.  And having a well-trained GS has been another.  WCGS has made it possible.  I started training my first dog, Kaizer, when he was 12 weeks old and from the start I could see a dog that was willing to please and liked to work.    With that kind of stock in a dog I knew that I had a partner which would follow me anywhere and do anything.  Whether it is climbing slides (and coming down again), wafting across rope bridges, or just sitting quietly outside the post office, Kaizer has been a pleasure to have around.  His social skills with other dogs and people make him a favorite of kids up and down the street and adults who see and appreciate how obedient he is.  In short, he is the perfect dog for my life and my family.

And now with Sasha, it is a different look to the same book.  Her bubbly and bouncy personality shows the same qualities that will maker one of a       kind.  She catches on to commands and thoughts so quickly that I sometimes wonder who is waiting for whom to get with the program.  At 10 weeks old, Sasha is       looking forward to the challenge of raising yet another smart and enthusiastic handler.

I cannot recommend Waterton Canyon German Shepherds enough to those who are interested in getting, in my opinion, one of the smartest and loyal dogs ever to be trained, worked and loved.

Sincerely and respectfully submitted,

Richard Casavant

PS.  Buy lots of film if you get one of Monette's dogs because every minute is a Polaroid opportunity or a Kodak moment.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am please to be able to take this opportunity to express my utmost confidence in Monette Demuth and Waterton Canyon German Shepherds.  From the time of our first conversation, I was impressed by Monette's concern for her dogs and for the welfare of the German Shepherd Dog Breed.  WCGS has brought together American and German bred lines in a warm and loving  household to produce happy and healthy, mentally and physically sound German Shepherd Dogs.

Monette goes the extra mile to ensure that her puppies come from healthy parents from exceptional backgrounds and are raised in an environment that is conducive to developing excellent social skills.  As the puppies are born and raised literally right in middle of a family household, they are exposed to a great deal of human interaction very early on.  In addition, WCGS personality test puppies in order to match and place them in compatible homes.  I believe the combination of Monette's efforts to educate prospective owners and personality test puppies sets new owners up to have a loving and successful relationship with their new puppies.

"Waterton Canyon's First Noel," daughter of "Dakota" and "Grace" is now seven months and is doing wonderfully.  "Noelle" is a bright, healthy puppy and is my constant companion.  During the school year, the days I spend in school, Noelle spends in puppy daycare.  She has excellent social skills with other animals and humans, both adults and children.  Her favorite pastimes include playing Frisbee and playing with my kitty, 'Carlyle."  Noelle has made training a pleasure as she is always surprising me with her eagerness to learn and her speed in doing so.  She Whizzed right through puppy classes as well as additional obedience training.  As a team, we will be competing in AKC Obedience Trials beginning in August.  This fall wee will also be showing in AKC Conformation Classes.  Future training plans also include agility and herding, as well as participating in the S.H.A.R.E. program which takes animals into schools and nursing homes.  Even though Noelle is highly motivated to work and learn, she never ceases to amaze me how she is just as content to just hand out with her human.

As a veterinary student and soon to be vetrinarian, finding a reliable breeder with a large interest in his/her dogs was of great importance to me in obtaining a new puppy.  I am not aware of another breeder that could compare to WCGS.  I could not be happier with the breeder I chose and the puppy with which I was matched.  Waterton Canyon German Shepherds has my sincere and heartfelt recommendation.  Please contact me if I can be any assistance.

Sincerely,

Michelle D. Wendell

Monette and Bob:
Here is a comment you can use on your web page regarding pups.

In February 2000, we purchased a male GSD (named Trapper) from Waterton Canyon German Shepherds that was from a litter produced by Dakota and Grace.  This is the fourth male GSD we have owned in the last 30 years and our previous dogs have been wonderful long-lived family members and competitors in various working disciplines.  We therfore were quite selective as to quality of dog and breeder.  I was looking for a male dog having temperament and physical soundness to be a reliable family member and compete in obedience, agility and possibly tracking and herding.  At the time of our purchase, we were looking at dogs from 4 litters.  We chose Waterton Canyon GSD for several reasons.  Suitable breeding stock having good health and temperament was used, pups were raised in a healthy environment with proper veterinary care, pups were well socialized with people prior to sale, and potential owners were allowed to view and rank pups to their personal criteria and this was cross-checked with quality independent puppy testing to match potential owners with puppies.. Furthermore, potential owners were given an appropriate and informative training session on the care and handling of the breed to make sure the GSD was likely the right dog for them.  Sale contracts were straight-forward and well handled.  Furthermore, WCGSD provided a quality rental crate to continue crate-training initiated with the litter and a supply of quality dog food to insure proper nutritional transition into a new home.  At 4-months of age, Trapper is a delight.  He is currently a healthy 40 pound bundle of energy, a tail-wagging clown when seeking out new people in many new situations, easy to train, focused, quick to learn, agile, and shows no temperament or structural weakness.  He has done well in puppy training classes where he has gotten along well with other dogs.  I am confident that a year now, I will have structurally sound and reliable working dog.  I highly recommend you consider WCGSD in your search for new GSD puppy -- you will find Monette and WCGSD helpful in all aspects of purchasing a GSD.
