Vincent “AJ” vom Younghaus celebrates his 9th birthday in Wisconsin.

AJ vom Younghaus is settled down with us in Wisconsin. He loves hiking in the summer and gets plenty of playtime in the snow in the winter. He loves cuddling and napping by the fireplace on cold winter evenings after playing outside in the snow. He is getting more cuddly at home with age, and we love it!

Aloha Laurel, Just wanting to inform u that Nugget arrived this evening!!! ( just a bit late which ended up being Ok bcuz I had a hard time finding cargo.) Anyway, she arrived and all I have to say is that she is "ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!" She is much sweeter than I could have ever imagined! Thank you very much for working w me! I appreciate your kindness as well as you being so straight forward and up front w me about everything up to and including the transaction and transport! I would be happy to provide references or anything that u may need in the future! Again, Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo!

Just thought you'd like an update on our Rylee(C litter, Sherriff & Kira)! She's doing great!! She's the happiest little dog(not so little anymore haha) and she's been nothing but a joy to us. She's so beautiful. Still can't thank you enough☺️

Absolutely my best friend.

Kunoichi is a smart and beautiful girl. She is learning basic commands, likes to fetch and walks on the leash well. Here is ia photo with her and my daughter. Thanks again. We are enjoying her.

I just thought I'd share some pics of Max who turns 1 today. He's a beautiful, intelligent, strong and loving family member. He is a bit of a rascal bit we love him and he loves us. Thank you again for giving us our Max

Hi Laurel, I just wanted to update you on Bruce aka Right Green from H Litter… He is doing FANTASTIC! He is 7 months now and a healthy 55 pounds. He has been raw fed since the day we got him and is doing great on it. He knows sit, platz, hier, bring, and through( sits between my legs) (stay is expected with all commands until his “yes” release cue). We are working on fuss, steh, and proper leash manners. We hope to get him into Schutzhund when he is a little older. He is very food motived so training is fairly easy with him most of the time. Thank you so much for our wonderful boy, we couldn’t be more happy with him.

It was wonderful to meet you in person today and loved seeing your facility. Puppy was amazing all the way home and slept most of the way. She has been an adorable bundle of joy and all three of us have fallen in love with her instantly. She is doing great and is more fabulous then we could have ever dreamed of.Thank you so much for making it happen!

She is a jewel! Perfect in the car. Eats well(!). Slept through the entire night. Gets along well with Bella. The 2 of them slept by Tom's feet while he watched tv - one of them occasionally chewed on his toes. We gave the someone a Nylabone to chew on instead. She likes that, Bella's tennis ball and a dragon that we got at Costco that is almost as big as she is. She attacks it fiercely and then drags it around. Thank you.

Just wanted to let you know that our pup has grown to be a beautiful healthy girl. She is the sweetest most loving dog and is an important part of our family. Thank you for such a fine specimen of a shepherd.

Sonata is getting big so fast! 5 months old now. I am so in love with her. She already has wonderful manners and is extreemely smart. I take her on hikes and to the beach a lot and she loves to swim! Has fun attacking waves. It's cute to watch.

Who is the most handsome dog in the world?!! Damn Laurel, I love my dog. Thank you.

Dallas loves to swim and play in the ocean! She is an amazing animal.

We are abundantly blessed to have this amazing dog! Dallas is the smartest dog and so keen to learn and discover. She is best buds with my son and sleeps beside him and guards him all the time. She is alert and protective, but social with everyone. We love her disposition, confirmation and her structure.She is the most intellegent dog I have ever trained. We LOVE her!

He does not leave my side. He is an amazing animal!

Kelly is a smart and beautiful girl and fits in with the pack of Jimbo and Candy very nicely.

Neema is doing awesome! She is such a great pup with an amazing character! She and her 3 great dane brothers love being together and playing. She lets the the boys know who the boss is. Girl Power!

Jim Neighbors and Kelly from the J litter in 2014. Resting on the porch in Hana.

Winter is doing amazing! She sits for food and water, when the door opens to go out side, and she can even stay, when her dad is passing by. She is so Smart. She is only 11 weeks old here in the photo and she is a giant! So SMART! And, NO jumping when we come home and she sits to be petted. We love her, the kids love her and her brother Storm loves her. Thank You!

Winter is 7 month old now.(Kira X Sheriff) Living in Upstate New York. 56 pounds of pure love. We get so many compliments. She learns so quickly. She is stunning!

Our X litter males, Bane and Dutch are fun and healthy boys! Here they are at 5 months old on the Ranch . We love them!

She has arrived safetly and is exploring her new home. Such a beautiful puppy! Thank you for all the photos and communication during this process.

Puppy is having so much fun with Kayla. He sleeps on her pillow next to her head!! I did the same with all my dogs.

Hey Laurel. Redd is magnificent. We're doing training and the trainer loves him. Mary Lee loves him. The way he trots and moves is like a piece of art. We can't thank you enough. As we said one day I will find the right one for me and it's not really up to me, but karma and fate. Well, that sure came true!!!!! He is our 4th GSD from you over the past 25 years And we love you.

If you are looking for a breeder who is educated, very loving, responsible and trustworthy I highly recommend you contact Laurel. She has been very helpful from the start of the process and always makes time to talk with us about how our gsd's are progressing. Thank you so much Laurel, we have got two amazing dogs. I can't say it enough that Alpha K-9 Kennels will be your best choice.

German Engineering at its BEST!

Hi Laurel, This guy has certainly taken our hearts 🥰. We are so proud of him & get so many compliments on what a beautiful pup he is. He has had a personal trainer since he was 10 wks old which has been a huge benefit. Trainer has made several comments on how quickly he picks up on his lessons. His meals are all training opportunities which Kai seems to love. Mahalo Nui again for making all this possible 😁. Kevin & Rhonda

Thank you for all your help. You've made this journey as smooth as possible and I couldn't be more grateful. Many Blessings! Brandy

Delta is doing so well! Her drive and intelligence is just plain incredible. I keep forgetting she is a puppy (until she bites me in the leg with her puppy teeth). She is smashing puppy obedience class. Uses the dog door to use the bathroom! Yes!! My lab adores her! We are working on loose leash walking already. She’s just 12 weeks old from X litter Cleo and Beau. Thank you! Stacy Kapolei, HI May 2022

Whiskey (Royal & Beau) is 49# at 4.5 months. He is so calm and well behaved. It’s like hanging out with a CELEBRITY !!! He loves the water and is doing very well on my boat. I Friggen LOVE this boy!
