I had always wanted a GSD since I can remember. Since they require work, we waited until we were…read moreat a stage in our lives where we had the time to put in with one. I believe it's important to do your research on breeds that fit your lifestyle. GSD's have a bit of a reputation for numerous issues, so it was extremely important I found a breeder that focused on the health and temperament of their dogs. The right breeder is really important to us. Our last dog was a Black and Tan Coonhound that we found from a wonderful and renowned breeder in Oregon. I cast my net wide when looking for the right dog since this is a decade-plus commitment and a member of the family. In doing my research I realized there are quite a lot of varieties of GSDs. Working, show, East German, West German, Czech, West German Show, American Show, multiple coat colors and lengths. It can be overwhelming. I was very specific in what I wanted, a female sable. I searched many breeders and came across SentinelHarts Kennels. The website was extremely informative and detailed. I learned so much more about the breed and it allowed me an opportunity to see the results of her breeding practices with past and present males, females, and pups in her program. So many of my questions were already answered from the information provided in the easy to navigate website. Camilla was quick to respond to my inquires. She had interviewed me as much as I did her. Some might be put off by that thinking they are the "customer" however, I would be alarmed if she did not. My previous dog breeders were the same. People tend to obtain dogs on looks and emotions without really knowing what they are getting into. Responsible breeders make sure their pups are going into the right environment to the right people who understand what they are getting into. On our site visit, we went through the same disinfecting procedures with our footwear and hands before entering the dog area as we did when entering the Koala exhibit at the zoo. The facility (her family home) was large, clean and immaculately maintained. She was inviting, informative and allowed us plenty of time to engage with the puppies. Camilla kept us updated on the status of the pups while we anxiously waited for the 8week mark to pick up. Because GSDs can have multiple types per litter if you want something specific you may have to wait for a future litter since nature has the upper hand on what comes out. There were only 2 female sables in the litter I was interested in. She is very clear about 1st pick rights for her line so we waited to see if we would receive Lime or Purple girl. We were given the purple girl which was the one in her sights to keep. This was a very special litter and we were in a special timing situation where we preferred not to wait for the next litter so my college daughter could bond with the pup while home on winter break. When she told us we could have her due to the circumstances were overjoyed. Yeah, I know everyone says this about their dog, but she is special. She is everything I wanted. Her temperament is amazingly sweet and loving with not just our family but with everyone who walks through our door. She's alert and always on sentry to protect our property and family but backs down the moment she realizes there is no threat. This is 100% what I was looking for since we live in a remote area and I am often alone. A guard dog that was also approachable. She is the exact size I was hoping for and her markings and coat are beautiful. Once I was walking around our local reservoir and a woman with two equally beautiful GSDs was walking towards me asked if my dog was a SentinelHeart Pup. I belong to a few Sable FaceBook groups and I'm constantly asked where she came from. I do believe she is a stellar dog and that is the result of the careful and diligent practices of SentinelHart Kennels. Her heart and soul go into her dogs and it shows. The follow-up communication has been wonderful. She is quick to respond to new parent questions and gives great recommendations. The bonus for me is that she was a short drive away. Regarding pricing, she was right on the mark with the other quality breeders I researched. I would be wary of any dog under that price point as there is a lot of expense that goes into acquiring the right breeding stock, titling, proper facility, vet expenses, importing, care, I could go on for days. If you want to play roulette with your pup then shop price point. If you want a responsible breeder who's sole focus is on keeping the integrity of the breed over profits then this is the kennel for you.

Camilla (Owner): great to work with, very responsive to questions long after getting our dog. Its…read morebeen nearly two years and we still chat periodically to check up on my male. She often provides me with training information and questions I have regarding unexpected dog things that have popped up over the years. She does all the health screening for her dogs, and really cares about the well-being of the dogs that come from her kennel. She is a Schutzhund/Sport dog handler and understands a lot about what makes a great german shepherd dog aside from physical features. She cares a lot about the temperment of the dogs rather than only caring about colors/coat. At 8 weeks dog pick up day, she provided a package of proof of health tests/vaccines, information about the parents, AKC registration documents, and much more. Dog: extremely level-headed, works with good obedience in high drive. I've been told by seasoned dog handlers that he is a "thinker" and "extremely biddable". Wants to work for the handler. Very responsive to corrections/rewards. Excellent coat, very nice features. Ive been told by seasoned show people that his conformation appears to be excellent (I have no idea myself). The litters Sentinelharts has vary in "activity level" and Camilla will match you with a litter appropriately if necessary. For example, two high drive parents that are highly successful in Schutzhund might not be producing puppies good for a house wanting a low energy "easy" puppy. Camilla will help you navigate this if necessary. Pros: I now have the best dog ever. Cons: I have to convince the fiancee' to get more dogs. Also my dog groans like an old man when he stretches. :-)

1000% a scam. I took my puppy for a board and train. You go in for an "evaluation/ consultation"…read moreand then they want you to pay up front. I asked them to address a few normal puppy concerns like jumping and nipping which they did not do. Upon taking my dog home he showed absolutely no regard for any of the commands he was "taught." When I contacted Lara the blame was put on me. They said that I must be using the commands wrong. They offered for me to go back so they could reshow me how to command "properly." I did this and still no change. They said it was unreasonable to expect for my dog to be there for 2 weeks and be a newly trained dog. That it was my responsibility to train him the commands that they supposedly taught him. Well then what was my almost $2,000 for? I understand having to practice in order to keep up with them but this was far more than that. They were not interested in helping or finding a real remedy to the situation.

I can't believe it's taken me 4 years to not only do research on Amanda and her scam of a business…read morebut to write this review. I wish I did my research before getting a puppy through her. Four years ago for Christmas my family got me a so called maltipoo puppy through Amanda. With the amount it cost for him and to fly him out we were expecting a true breeder quality puppy. Quite the contrary. First off, we immediately made an appointment with a local vet after picking up our puppy. Turns out he had coccidia and giardia. The vet also mentioned that our puppy had an extreme case of malocclusion, which is a misalignment in the teeth. Our vet went on and said that this can cause future issues for him as he gets older. Not what you want to hear if you're supposedly purchasing from a breeder. When I notified Amanda about the giardia and coccidia, she normalized it and said "they all do" from the stress of flying. Didn't really make sense but it wasn't anything life threatening and our poor pup was feeling better in a week. But the way she responded then stopped responding after that interaction was a complete red flag. From there, our pup changed colors COMPLETELY. Which is understandable since he had a dark brown puppy coat and cream/white undercoat. But we were told he was going to be a toy sized maltipoo with a max weight of 8 lbs but he turned out to be 12 lbs. Even that was okay with us. But what I came to realize is the amount of behavioral and temperament issues our puppy had. He became aggressive and possessive at an early age. We invested in several trainers and spent a good amount of money and he continues to show these behaviors. The last trainer he worked with, who is very well known, shared that this is common in backyard breeders. DO NOT at any cost by from Amanda! She's a complete scam and she knows it! That's why she keeps changing the name of her business and town she works in. She was even on the local news a few years ago. If you want to take the breeder route there is a reason why her prices are cheaper than other breeders. Pay the additional amount and purchase from a real breeder if that's what you're looking for because you will not get a breeder quality dog from Amanda.
