Hi Mike, Some news about Cobra (Greco of Kreative - Atrax x Fanta). He is too good. We donated him and working with Brewster PD to replace their deceased dog. Already an incredible tracker. Working on his narc work now. Never trained such a natural before. Great for PR (very friendly), nerves of steel, will work all day. K9-1 and the community of Brewster, NY thanks you for your expertise in producing amazing dogs! Michael D'Abruzzo
Hi Nicolle,
Hi Mike, Kuma ( Hector) and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and may this New Year bring you as much happiness as you have brought both of us. Thank you for bringing Kuma and I together. He is the best friend I have ever had! He has turned into quite a protector and a great watch dog. He never leaves my side.. I am so blessed .. Thank you!
Hi Nicolle, Thank you for getting the AKC form signed. It
has been sent in. Uzi just finished her 7th week of training today.
She is still a handful but is catching on. We have had no second
thoughts. Thought you might find interesting some of the descriptions
that have been used for her so far: "athletic", "high
octane", "alpha female" and "one dog in a
thousand". That is in addition to the numerous people who
comment on her beauty. The individual who is training her I guess
has been doing this for about fifteen years. He said if we ever
wanted to get rid of her (we don't) he would take her in a minute.
He also said he needed to know more about your kennel so I gave
him your website. His personal dog is a German Shepherd.
Hi Mike, I thought I would send you a couple of pics of the pup I purchased from you in January 2009. I know him as Rafe, you know him as Yadir. Sire: Vanesko Vom Salztalblick, Dam: Yessy Anrebri. Of course he is now 3 years old, healthy and happy still living here in Challis Idaho. He has developed and grown into a very strong and compitant
cow dog out in our field by using hand signals and eye contact
to direct him where needed. He is able to freeze any given cow
with his eyes. I'm working with him now building his vocabulary
and protection skills. My husband Scott has been in Canada so
it has been Rafe and I alone here at the house. He knows his boundaries
around the place extremely well, and protects them without fail.
He also prides himself on always keeping me in his sights and
by my side.
Hi Nicolle, The pups did make it to us safe. Anders has been staying with my family and has hit the floor running, doing great in puppy socialization class and with my two little boys, wife, little terrier, and cats. I am more than happy with his temperament. I have lots planned for him as far as training. Danny can't stop raving about Greco. I will see them today and we'll waste no time getting the most out of that little ball of drive. We are trainers so we will throw them into the repetoir here while bringing them home to our families. Thank you for the excellent job you have done on these pups. We are estatic! Warmly,
Mike, I just wanted to say thank-you once again for
working with me to identify the perfect dog for me. It has been
another year since I last emailed. Goody is continuing to be the
most unbelievable dog I have ever had (and I have had several,
including 3 other shepherds). I never had even considered buying
a trained dog. Now I seriously doubt I will ever buy any dog but
a trained dog. He is by my side at all times when I am close by
him. I have never had a smarter dog in my life. It seems that
he knows my thinking. That said, he did precisely what you told me he would as he grew accustomed to our home. Once a worker came in the house unannounced. Sorry for the worker, I thought I was going to have to clean up the floor where he was standing. Goody was right at him and would not let him twitch a muscle until I came in. He is still the most sociable dog in the park and at our triathlons. Always seems relaxed unless something unusual is worth noting close to me. Kids love him as do other pets. He wakes me at the same time every day with a ball. If I don’t get up, he is on me licking my face until I get going. What a dog. Lastly, I just bought an office condo that I can have him with me during the day as I wish. If it sounds overboard, I assure you Mr Goody is worth it! Thanks again Mike, and I trust you and all your dogs are doing well. Paul Norris PS. Jason’s “Domino” is doing great too. Two winners!
Hi… I just wanted to thank you again for "Hector". I have changed his name to Kuma, hope you don't mind. He responds better to that name. He never leaves my side and BARKS! He actually scares people… The delivery people are frightened to come up to the gate. He charges and barks! THANK YOU!!! He goes with me everywhere and now loves HIS TRUCK. He is very suspicious of strangers. Everyone thinks he is beautiful and wants to pet him but he will not allow anyone within 3 feet of us unless I say it is okay. He will stand in front of me and growl very low. I was shocked however to find how many people are hesitant to approach me with him. I am so used to people just coming up and petting my dogs ... not with this guy! He is the love of life! He started puppy class last week. He did great! He is very brave... He also loves the water! We go hiking often up by the river. He gets along so well with all my guys including my cat. He is PERFECT!!! I just can't thank you enough… I feel so safe with him in my life… God Bless you!! Please use my email and if there is anything else you need let me know.... I am so grateful!! The trainer and Mike take the time to really match the right dog for each person. After speaking with Mike on the phone and explaining to him my needs and what I was looking for he spoke with the trainers and found me the PERFECT dog. He was not trying to just sell me a dog. He found me the right dog. This is rare in a greed driven World of Kennels who just sell dogs. They really care and take the time to get to know the people and have a wonderful understanding of their dogs. They found my perfect match... I highly recommend Kreative Kennels... Thank you so much! Lisa
Mike, Giula (aka Nika) is perfect. She got here with no problems, in fact got here three hours early. She has already become a member of the family. She even loves our cat. Well thanks for the puppy. We have attached a photo for you to use on your website, if you wish to. Thanks again, John P.S. the cats not very happy
Dear Mike and Nicolle, I just wanted to send this letter saying "Thanks" for sending Majik to me. I remember calling and talking to Mike about the kind of dog I wanted. He thought that Majik was that dog if I really wanted: a dog that had high drives and would chase anything and everything that I threw. I told him that was correct. Sticks, stones, balls, pipes and toys are just some of the things that she catches and brings back to me. She is a blast! Majik is exactly the dog I wanted. I found out that "you get what you pay for". She is very protective of our home, too. Thank you, Nicolle for the wonderful job you did with the shipping. Penny Beckajm, Mobile, Al. Phone 251-401-3161
Hello! Just wanted to thank you for our wonderful dog, Sammi. She is one of yours born Sept 28, 2009. Her mother and all the pups had names starting with the letter Z. We live in New Hampshire. Sammi currently weighs 69 pounds. She is smart as a whip, loves to play ball or frisbee, and is currently in an advanced obedience class and does awsome without even trying. My husband John just loves his dog (and so do I). The bottom photo was at a horse show in late spring so she is about 8 months old. The top one is of her tubing with John in August (so about 11 months old). Thank you! Margaret Monachelli,D.V.M.
Dear Kreative Kennel Staff,
Hi Kreative Kennels! We adopted Shakira back in April and thought you might like an update. Shakira goes by the name Elsa Mae at home now. She is beautiful, smart and full of energy. She is even more than I had hoped for in a companion dog. She goes to obedience and agility training about three times a week and is turning out to be the superstar at the canine center. Everyone is amazed at her drive and energy and we can't wait to see what she will be like in another year when she can start going over the higher jumps (they only let her jump 8 inches so far because of her growth plates). She LOVES tunnels, chutes, teeter-totters, and dog walks. She is a sweetheart and a great family dog. Her personality is wonderful. I can't say enough good things about her!!! People stop me in the streets to ask where I got her and I always tell them how they can find your website and to not worry about getting a puppy they haven't seen through your kennel. Attached are a couple of pictures of our Elsa / your Shakira. If you ever breed her parents together again and get another long-hair puppy, let me know. I keep watching your website for one... Thanks so much for raising such an impressive line of dogs.
Hey Mike, Just a note to let you know that Lord is our personal protection ranch dog now. He has a 46 acre run of his own. He's beautiful, healthy and happy. Him and our female, guard the entire ranch. They are so smart. Lord knows I don't want him running-off the deer so he sits and watches intensely. If we get an alarm bark in the middle of the night, the minute we come out of the house with the rifle, him and our female both become quiet as a mouse and watch for our cue. It's so great to own intellegent, perceptive canines. These dogs are so smart, they know sport from danger and react appropriately. They know when to be quiet and when to raise hell without any training. We have only allowed him to sire one litter since we've had him and most of those pups went to friends and family. My daughter received one of his black male pups and she has him so spoiled that you have to remind him at times he's still a dog. I feel so much better knowing she has him by her side since she lives far away. We get many compliments on Lord and I direct them to your website. Thank you for such a wonderful addition to our family. Annie Nelson
Hi Mike, Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with the little girl. I havent weighed her in a while but she is beautiful. Absolutely a pleasure to look at and watch move. Her teeth are perfect, just needed a little wiggling. She is a machine when it comes to playing, and extremely quick learner. Needless to say she has no bad behaviors and is sooooo sweet. We cant thank you enough. I will send pictures as soon as I can get a good one of her. I hope you can meet her some day. I think you would have been pleased to have kept her, but I am so thankful we have her. I'll keep you informed as she grows. Thank you!
Kreative Kennels, Zaro has become increasingly more protective of the house and
my wife and I. Even while playing at the park he does not let
us out of his sight. Prior to finding Kreative Kennels, I had
never heard of the raw food diet. Nicolle sent us a link and plenty
of info on the diet and it's benefits. We have continued the raw
food diet and I can honestly say I will never feed a dog commercial
dog food again. We have received so many compliments on how good
our dog looks and I think the raw food diet has alot to do with
that. I must admit, I was a little uneasy about purchasing a dog
from the other side of the country that I had not met in person
and only saw pictures of online. After talking to Mike and Nicolle
I knew that Kreative Kennels was no joke. Zaro has been all and
more then what Mike described to me over the phone and has been
an examlpe of Kreative's dedication to the German Shepherd breed.
If your looking for a REAL german shepherd dog, Kreative Kennels
is the place to go.
Hi Nicolle, Akira arrived without any difficulties whatsoever, and appears
in mint condition. We are so very pleased with her wit, charm,
and vitality. She is people friendly and we want to keep her that
way. She accepted Benefual puppy chow without hesitation. Last
night she slept in her crate beside my bed and did not awake until
6:30 this am,at which time she wanted to go out and pee. She has
whined a total of three times and was taken out without accident.
To date we have played every puppy games imaginableMy granddaughter
from Morgantown accompied me to Charlotte. My granddaughter and
her fiance have entertained her since 9am this morning. It amazing
how fast she is learning her name and simple comands. We love
her dearly already! And you may use us as a reference resource
in case there are others like myself who are leary of paying a
high dollar figure for a shepherd site unseen. Thanks again! Delightfully
Yours,
TO: The staff from Kreative Kennels I have attached a video, taken today, of Luger playing with
his Schutzhund obedience trainer and a soft sleeve. This is Luger's
first time ever with a bite sleeve and it was all kept very playful
with no stress on the dog to perform. The Trainer, Larry Nava
of Tri-State K-9, is a decorated schutzhund trainer with 25 years
of training dogs. The trainer pulled out a burlack sack and Luger
instantly wanted to bite and play with it, then when the sleeve
was brought out he quickly took a full bite and refused to let
go.
From the Tahoe Daily Tribune Second K-9 unit joins South Lake Tahoe policeSOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The newest member of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department is a two-year-old from the Czech Republic. Argo, a German Shepherd, became the second police dog in the department on Feb. 15 when officers picked him up from Kreative Kennels in Turlock, Calif. The new police dog, with handler Mark Hounsell, joins the department's Belgian Malinois, Duke, and Officer Tony Broadfoot in the department's K-9 unit. Argo's arrival is the culmination of efforts by Hounsell, Broadfoot and Sgt. Josh Adler, who formed the South Lake Tahoe Police Canine Association two years ago to support the department's K-9 unit. The non-profit organization raised $4,500 through community donations and canine trials during the past two summers. The remaining $8,000 needed to pay for Argo, his training and equipment was paid for by criminal assets seized by police. With the addition, South Lake Tahoe police will have access to a dog seven days a week, something officers feel will benefit South Shore residents. While selecting a police dog is not an exact science, when members of the canine association saw the dog in Turlock, they immediately agreed he was the right choice. Believe it or not, there is a lot of personality involved in it,” Broadfoot said. Hounsell has faced the business end of police dogs for the past 15 years as a decoy and said he's excited to move to the handler position. He's been brushing up on Argo's first language. “I've been speaking more Czech than I have been English lately,” Hounsell said with a laugh. Although the German Shepherd has already received some training, he'll will still need to go through an additional 4 to 6 weeks of Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training certification with Hounsell before beginning work on the street. Argo will start off focused on searching and suspect apprehension, but will eventually be trained in narcotics, Adler said. Click here for original document
Hi Nicolle, I hope you and your family are doing well! We've been doing training with Wyatt for Schutzhund and he is of course a natural. He still possesses all the bones or all the toys he wants and will keep Ruger away from them...just like when he was 8 weeks old. Here are some photos of our training session a couple of weeks ago. He is a great dog (Charis/Yaskia if you didn't remember the litter). It is so funny but his personality when I picked him at 4 1/2 weeks is the EXACT same as it is now. He is so funny, loves his people, loves to be with us, but also independent. Loves to play...LOVES his food (he was the puppy in the middle of the food dish when I visited)... Anyhow, I just wanted to send you an update. He is 6 months old now. He weighs about 60 lbs. I still have him on the raw food/home made diet. He is smart and easy to train. We have a West German Show line breeder that is in our Schutzhund group and she said she wouldn't hesitate to breed any of her show line bitches to Wyatt. She really likes his angles. Take Care,
Good Day Mike,
The Folsom Police K9 Unit Welcomes K9 Ramon…In March 2009, after the retirement of K9 Jerry, we welcomed K9 Ramon to the Folsom Police K9 Unit. Ramon is a three year old German Shepherd that came to us from Kreative Kennels in Turlock, CA. Ramon is an incredibly good natured dog, as well as being very social. Ramon has quickly become a part of our family. Ramon took to training immediately. Ramon was patrol certified and hit the streets in April 2009. Ramon is trained in tracking, article/building/area searching and criminal apprehension. In September 2009 Ramon completed his training and certification for narcotics detection.
Hi Kreative Kennel, I just wanted to email you a picture of two dogs that I had purchased from you about a year and a half ago. Zeus and Zader have grown up to be beautiful and very loyal companions. I just wanted to thank you and to show you they are doing well. Please open up the picture using Window Picture. Thanks again.

Mike, Here is a picture of “Dust” . We call him Zeke. He is doing great and is turning out to be everything I had hoped for. Thanks and happy New Year. Fred Jordan Camarillo CA
Esmeralda County uses K-9sThe Esmeralda County Sheriff's Office recently started a K-9 dog program, according to Sheriff Ken Elgan. Two shepherds were recently purchased from Kreative Kennels in Turlock, Calif. Both dogs are training in narcotics detection with the help of the Nye County Sheriff's Office. According to Elgan, there has been a significant increase in drug and money trafficking on Highway 95; this is due to narcotics interdiction teams working the main interstates throughout the country. Traffickers are now accessing the secondary highways in the hope they will not be detected. Highway 95 is a major artery for travel north to south. Recently the Nye County Sheriff's Office, with the use of a narcotics K-9, seized more than $750,000 in the Beatty area. They have seized over $650,00 in the Tonopah area from motorists passing through. The kicker in all this is that money goes directly to the sheriff's office for use in narcotics enforcement. This means the sheriff can use the money to buy equipment such as vehicles, radars, ballistic vests for officers or any other equipment related to drug enforcement, saving the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nevada law also gives the sheriff the authority to give a portion of the money to the school district at the end of the fiscal year. The two dogs purchased, Vader and Nurmo, are doing outstanding work in a short period, according to Master Trainer Bill Stark of the Nye County Sheriff's Office. Elgan said Vader, an all-black Shepherd handled by Dep. Tony Phillips, has already recovered marijuana located in the center console of a vehicle. Nurmo, who is handled by Sgt. Scott Johnson, is ready to work as well. Elgan said, "We have high hopes for this program and will be aggressively working to remove narcotics and money derived through sales off our streets."
Hello Nicolle, I just wanted to share what Bella was up to in her first week with us. Take care and Merry Xmas! Roland Ortega
Mike, Thanks again for seeing us yesterday. I wanted to make sure you guys found Aramis. I left him in the blue kennel with the lead on top. Didn't know what large kennel he belonged to, hopefully you guys found him. Speaking of Aramis, depending on what happens with our unit Lieutenant, Aramis is who I am leaning toward. Of course, I keep going back and forth with Sarran. My team was very impressed with your kennel and everyone working there. Very impressed. Hopefully Phil Divinigracia comes out today and takes a puppy off your hands! Be in touch soon. Thanks again,
Hey guys! We finally made it to Colorado after a looooong road trip where Rumo behaved himself admirably. We actually sedated him the first two days, Andy was so nervous that we had killed him because about 20 minutes after he took his first pill he could hardly walk and was dragging his paws across the floor; we had to carry him to the car! Poor little guy was probably like "Guys, is this car the rest of my life now??" He's settling in quite nicely and is enjoying the snow and the freedom out here. He's VERY vocal and speaks up whenever he is frustrated, bored, or if we stay in bed too long. As you can see, he's darkened up a TON and is a spitting image of Charis. He's still a mellow guy and sharp as well. We're teaching him to sit by the door when we get back from a walk and lift up his paws so we can wipe them clean! How did his siblings turn out? Any standout pups? Keep me posted! Hope everything is great,
Hi Mike, Farkas Vom Saltzablick is about to be a dad! We absolutely love
him so much. He is a great dog. I was just looking through your
pics of him. He loves his toys so much. It is hilarious to watch
him drop it into my husbands lap and sit there and stare at it
so intense. I attached a picture of him.
Mike, I just wanted to check in and let you know how things were going with Master Goody. We have had him about 2.5 months now. He is precisely what you described him to be and is working out extremely well. Going to the park, kids come up to pet him and he welcomes it. Most strangers are no problem either- however there have been a few instances where rather suspicious folks came close to us and he immediately went into a growl to alert us. We agreed with him! He does appear to sense potential danger, or even just things that are very different or out of the ordinary. Once we say "its ok Goody" he is fine (though once he watched intently until the man was out of sight, which was good with me). We are walking/running 3-5 miles per day sometimes more. He loves it as he is able to visit with several of the neighbor's dogs along the way. He has only shown aggression to dogs once he has had it shown to him first. Even with that, he is obedient and wanting to please me. Once I get home, he does not want to leave sight of me. Wherever I am, I can count on being within sight of Goody (even in the shower, he opens the door just to be reassured I am in there). He figures things out (he now opens the door and lets himself in) and enjoys waking me in the morning to two big paws on my chest and a big good morning lick signaling it is time for us to go for our walk. FYI, he has added about 10 lbs (now 83 lbs) and looks beautiful. Folks have stopped their cars on the street just to take a better look at him. He really is a great dog and I am most grateful that we took your recommendation. I am having a blast with him. Best dog (and we have had 5) I have ever had! Thought you would enjoy hearing about him. Next time I get some pictures, I will forward a few your way! Paul Norris
Hi Nicole, I just thought I would let you know that Echo is doing great! He absolutely loves the cold and snow we have up here in Chicago and just went to his first puppy class yesterday. He is already very good with basic commands (sit, stay, down, etc.) and can even heal on a lead already! I attached some recent pics i took of him yesterday. Sean
Dear Mike And Nicolle, Just wanted to get back to you and thank you again for this
wonderful puppy. Farah is amazingly smart and absolutely loving
with the sweetest disposition I could have ever wanted. Her pedigree
was impressive enough but the reality of this beautiful pup far
surpasses any expectations I had. |
