I searched high and low for a few weeks for hours and hours each day for the perfect puppy. I was looking for quality, specific coloring, great temperament and all for a reasonable price point. Vom Nordosten Haus provided each quality I was looking for. Our beautiful little girl, Kiya, is a perfect addition to our family. She keeps us quite busy with her energetic personality and strong will. She's very intelligent which made her a fast leaner for basic training and she knew her name within a day of getting her home. She loves people and does very well with our two week old baby. She's also quite the superstar winning compliments wherever she goes on her personality and looks. She does great with our other German Shepherd and became best friends with our one cat (that's no exaggeration, they play together all the time). But aside from getting a great pup that we have come to love, Michael was very easy to keep in touch with as well. We kept in contact through email which he was very quick to respond too. He was easy to work with and a pleasure to meet upon arrival. He sent pictures of the pups and kept us updated on Pato's achievements. And even after having Kiya for around a month he still keeps in contact. I'd recommend Vom Nordosten Haus to anyone interested in getting a German Shepherd. And will consider getting another Shepherd from him someday. Thank you Michael for our precious girl.
