My husband and I met Marisa with her impressive shepherds a few years ago. We were both instantly taken with the dog’s calm self-confidence and winning character. Marisa met with us and we discussed the breed and various upcoming litters. This was our first experience in owning a German Shepherd though we have always had dogs. We were looking for a dog to provide security and blend in with our family of four, complete with energetic children, friends and activities. Together with Marisa we were able to hand-pick the ideal pup to fit our lifestyle and personalities.

Eva is the perfect German Shepherd ambassador. She is forever eager to learn, please and protect. The follow-up training and education that Marisa and trainer Richard Crane offer is invaluable to both dog and owner. We have been fortunate to attend Grünberg seminars on puppy imprinting, obedience, and protection work. At our house we use the training skills every day. Eva is obedient, agile and exceptionally responsive to commands making our daily walks through the woods or bustling downtown Manchester a pleasure. I am looking forward to continuing our training to the highest level.

At 2½, Eva has proved an ever-vigilant house and property guard. We live in a secluded wooded area. She is keenly aware of our boundaries sensing intruders and stray ATV’s. We all sleep soundly.

Eva is the most loving companion anyone could ever want. Thank you, Marisa and Grünberg Shepherds.
