My name is Fran May and I have one of Dee's olderhill puppies. My Friend Val Quick and I visited Dee 6 days after her pups were born back on the 19th October 2008, and fell in love with them straight away.

They were the most stunning litter we had seen. My friend has 40 years experience with dogs owning over 20 German shepherds in her life time. I lived at home with 2 German shepherds as a teenager but never actually owned my own till 7 years ago. Now I train and instruct with my friend Val obedience and we were looking for a good working line and found Dee's. I choose a boy and Val choose a bitch.

Diesel my dog is now 16 months old and has a wonderful temperament and loves working. He loves everyone and thinks everything should play with him. He is so like his dad in markings and looks. He is wonderfully straight backed standing beautifully 'four square'. He weighs about 42.5kg which is approximatly 6.5 stone. His ears look like they could pick up sky satalite as he needs to grow into them still!

He is an integral part of my family fitting in well with my other German shepherd Sabre. He craves attention - loves laying on your feet and having back massages which is exactly like his sister Tara who Val has.
