In March of 2003, we purchased a German Shepherd puppy from Marisa Shaw, owner of Grünberg Shepherds, and so began a wonderfully rewarding journey.

The experience of owning one of Marisa's dogs does not end with the purchase. Marisa, along with trainer Richard Crane, has offered ongoing support and endless education on the raising and training of our dog, Hudson. This invaluable service has opened our eyes to the possibilities of what our dog can attain through proper handling. Hudson's temperament is even-keeled, and he is steady of nerve as promised, in addition to possessing all the intelligence one expects of a German Shepherd.

We strongly recommend Marisa Shaw as German Shepherd breeder of the century! Anyone who is lucky enough to own one of her puppies is lucky enough.
