From: “Steve W”  To: aachendutchshepherds@yahoo.comSent: Wed, Dec 21, 2022. Subject: Shiya Update. Hi Keely, Happy Holidays to you and yours. I just wanted to give you a quick update on Shiya’s progress. She is an amazing little pup so far. You picked out the perfect dog for me. Her drive and temperament are just what I was hoping for. At 8 and ½ months she stands 22″ at the withers and is 50lbs, so she’s my little pocket rocket. We’ve had zero health issues. She has been accepted into our pack at home and gets along with our other female well and defers to our alpha male. Additionally, she has fit right in with the rest of the dogs on the Heavenly Avalanche Rescue Dog team.  Shiya shows no fear on the mountain while at work. She rides the chairlifts with confidence, hops right on snow mobiles on command, skis between my legs safely (although she’d rather be running next to me), rides in tobaggans and interacts with all the guests in a positive way. She truly loves all people. Shiya graduated from canine elementary school last summer, progressed through canine high school and graduated from canine college with honors. Her obedience is spot on. She also excelled at Rally Obedience over the summer just to keep her mind busy. I am particularly impressed with her emergency down, something especially important for her on the mountain as she is around all kinds of heavy equipment, snowmobiles, out of control skiers, etc. She will drop on a dime no matter what she is doing or how far away from me she is. I am more than pleased with her job specific training as well. She is super enthusiastic when working and goes absolutely nuts when her tug toy (her paycheck) comes out! She is well ahead of where I would expect her to be at this time. Her dig alert is coming along nicely. I’m not sure if you’ve seen these or not, but here are a few videos of her working/training on the mountain. She is becoming quite the star! You may have to copy and paste the links into your browser. I’m sure to share that she is from Aachen Dutch Shepherds whenever people ask ???? Best, Steve W Heavenly Ski Patrol, March 2023

  • Subject: Aachen Dutch Shepherd puppies. My man David just informed me he has one of your dogs as well. He’s in CO nowadays. I had him as a new guy at SEAL Team EIGHT when I was in my first leadership position, and again when he came to work in special activities before he got out.  Cool that we have dogs from the same lines. He is very happy with his pupper. Making me even more excited to meet my man “Gunnar”. I’m standing by with $$$ whenever you’re ready. Sean. Long Live The Brotherhood.
