Take a look at some of the dogs that have come from Salhaus throughout the years. The new owners of these dogs were kind enough to keep in touch with me and send pictures back of their pups as they grew into the gorgeous adults we expected them to be. Recently we have included the comments of our clients regarding their new Salhaus "additions." As we've mentioned before, our pups receive their first boosters, & are cleared of all worms and puppy hood diseases prior to going into new homes. The utmost care & socialization is given to our pups right from the start by us, and then is continued by their responsible new owners. The results speak for themselves. Our pups are mainly sold on referral, as pleased new owners pass on by word of mouth, the virtues of their outstanding Salhaus German Shepherds to friends and family.
Blaze, a huge blk/red male pup from Salhaus, now owned by Tamra Latham. Shown here being oh so gentle with her baby, Brian.
This is Bella. She was absolutely huge here, shown at 5 months of age! She lives with her new owner in the local foothills of Northern California. Yes, she really is a FEMALE. Take a look at how thick her bone is.
Remember Tucker, our solid black Dragon son from the "About Our Pups" page? At 8 weeks on the left, he was on his way to the airport in route to his new home in Michigan. Here he is pictured in the center as a stunning young adult with his Doxie friend~Buddy, and then as a mature adult to the right.
This is Max, a 5-1/2 month old blk/tan Dragon son living in Sacramento, CA. What a gorgeous boy! He is pictured with a young pup on the left (not from Salhaus.) Again the thickness of the bone of Salhaus dogs as well as the temperament we produce here is outstanding!
Remember this precious picture on the left from our "About Our Pups" page? This pup is Riese shown at 8 weeks with my daughter. She is shown as a young adult at 96 lbs on the right. Truly breath taking! This is to illustrate how much GSD pups gain color as they mature. Notice how dark Riese was as a pup and then what her final outcome as far as coloring turned out to be.
This is Gage, a blk/tan Salhaus pup shown at 14 weeks. This is a quote from his new owner, Thomas Flynn in Raleigh, North Carolina: "He's a great puppy. He's so sweet. Training has been very easy, He's very smart, we've really enjoyed him. He's growing fast too."
Take a look at the rich red pigment in stunning blk/red "Rhema." Her new owner Tamra in Oroville, CA says this: "Rhema is everything we hoped for in a new pup. She fits into our family perfectly. She's so smart & is such a joy to have around. I took Rhema to a trainer here in town. She has quite a long list of credentials, judging & so forth. She was absolutely flabbergasted at Rhema's body composition. She was just gushing over her. She says Rhema has to come from Show Lines! Thought I would pass that along to you. I think I would like a male from you in a year or two."
This is Cookie, another full sister to Gage & Rhema, above. Cookie lives in Cresco, Iowa with Julie Walsh. Listen to what Julie says of her latest addition from Salhaus: "I am very pleased with Cookie and she is so much fun to play with. She is almost human. Very calm and loveable and she fits in this family perfectly. We truly do love her. Thanks again. Julie"
This is Rusty. He's a blk/red short coat. Listen to what his satisfied owner, Penny Pophal of Wisconsin has to say about him: "Rusty is very out going, excellent temperamented, and a joy to have around. I just love him to pieces and get a ton of compliments on him. I am very happy to have bought a pup from you! He is a large teddy bear. As big as he is, he still tries to sleep in bed with us :), I would give you a referal on your GSD's any time."

Rusty now as a stunning blk/red adult.
Meet Daphne, a 1 year old Salhaus female pup. She was sent all the way to a family in the Phillipines. Listen to what Edison, one of Daphne's new family members says about her: "She's very loving. My children get along with her well & she's growing steadily. She is now roughly more than a year old now. She has grown so huge.Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to have one of your great German Shepherds."
12 weeks old
Just under a year old
14 weeks old
This is Brutus, shown here at just 9 months of age. What a handsome boy! So typical of a Salhaus pup. See what his owner, Josh Whisler of Orangevale, CA says of his pup:
"I think I promised you some pics. Here are some from last month. He is about 80lbs now and tall enough to put his paws on my shoulders when he stands on his back feet. It's amazing how much he has changed. Seems like he gets a little lighter in color everyday. He's still a blast."
Here are some additional comments from another satisfied Salhaus puppy owner, Jessica Ramos of Modesto, CA. She got a solid black female from us, show in the adjacent picture at just 5 months of age:
It's been a while since I last wrote. I hope all is well with you and your family. We are doing really well and Ruka has been a real joy. Everyone fell in love with her from the first moment they saw her. My parents and Adrian's parents all consider her their grand puppy and love to spoil her rotten. She is now fixed and has all her shots. She loves to go for walks and meeting new dogs and people along the way. She has not fully taken to riding in cars but is learning that rides usually mean she is going some where fun. She is such a smart dog with a great personality and even though we acknowledge this she still surprises us all the time. She is huge she stands about knee height and is starting to fill out. Her adult coat is coming in and it looks like she might be a combination of both her parents her coat is not as long as V's but looks like might end up being longer than Monty's and it is very soft. She is gorgeous!
Obedience Graduation Day
Close to a year old
From Jim & Carol Cameron of Nevada:
Jim and I cannot express how wonderful Keno is doing in our home. He is such a love and eager to please. He loves to play fetch with the ball & of course tries to get Tera to play with him. He now weighs 25 lbs which means he has gained 10 lbs in the 3 weeks we have had him. As you can see in the pictures he is as big as Tera. He is just perfect on the leash when we take him for walks. He stops at the curb sits down and looks at me waiting to go. He is so eager to learn. Keno is excellent with his surroundings & was very easy to housebreak. He certainly is a big talker, we love that about him. I just thought you would like to hear how happy we are with him & how quickly he adjusted & attached himself
to us all in one day. Everyone loves him & he loves everyone that comes in the house. So here are a few pictures so you can see how well he truly is doing here & how much more beautiful he gets as the days go by. We have had a lot of people stop & tell us what a beautiful dog he is. One lady stopped & said she has never seen such a beautiful German Shepherd. They cannot believe for as young as he is how well he does on a leash & how calm he is on his walks. All this from a baby that isn't even 3 months old yet. Thank you again for a wonderful, beautiful well adjusted boy. You are a great lady and a wonderful breeder. Jim and Carol Cameron

Comments from Dana of Central California:
Brody Ranger is just about 3 months old now so I thought I would send a few pictures! :) He weighs 30 pounds now! He is so wonderful! We just love him so much! He is really CALM and brilliant! Everyone who see's him can't believe *What a calm puppy*! What I can't believe is~ at his young age all the things he knows already! Completely house trained! He'll take himself out when he needs too! He is front yard trained too! He will NOT leave our yard! :) He learned his name & how to come, sit, lay down, settle & to kennel so easily! He walks really great on a leash so I walk him 2 or 3 times a day up and down the street. He is protective of our yard- he barks at anyone he doesn't know who dares to step on the grass! I have to introduce him personally to people if he doesn't recognize them. I had Brody's Vet 2nd shots appointment yesterday and the Vet said ~ Wow- He is a really great pup! He is very advanced in his training for his age. He is super self confident. She also really liked his structure. She said that his body is in proportion & looks so much better than the other GSD she is currently taking care of. We think he looks like a miniature GSD instead of a gangly pup! :) People keep asking me how old is he? 5 months? 7 months? I laugh and say NO, he isn't even 13 weeks yet! LOL :) We are really happy with him. Thanks again for this wonderful addition to our family! ~Dana
I just wanted to send you the picture of graduation, we are now on our way to getting the TDI, but we have to be 1 year old, so it will be a few more months. I would like to say that she is one of the smartest, and sweetest pups I have seen in a long time, even better then some of my own, but of course, she is my own now, so I can brag about that. She is so good with the kids, horses, cats, and especially the new pups when we have litters. I have been very pleased. Thanks Shelley, you have given us a great addition to our small hobby kennel, and she is in very good hands here.

Brody Ranger 4 mos w/ the family kitten.
I just wanted to give you an update on our wonderful baby, Ruby! She has been such an amazing pup and has grown so much since I last wrote in January. She has the sweetest disposition and is friendly to everyone. We have 3 cats and she plays with them all - her best friend is our male siamese - 8 lbs. Quite funny to see them play! (OK, we let her sleep on the bed too - how can we resist - she is so lovable?? You can see in the pix she loves the cats too!)
She has passed her basic training and starts advanced class next week. All the trainers say she is a "dream" to train - she needs very little corrections and is super smart. We hope to have her Canine Good Citizen shortly! We could not have asked for a better dog and feel so lucky to be blessed with her. Her personality is warm and friendly to all and very obedient and easy to train. Thanks for breeding such amazing family dogs! Jennifer ~ Modesto, Ca
