Dear Eric,

Thanks for a great dog.

Your friends,

One year, and one week old. Will he stop growing?

Hi Eric,

It looks like Marco (my third Von Falconer puppy) will be as outstanding as the other two.  He has such a stable temperament, and it looks like his drive will be quite high.  What a pleasure it is to begin to train and socialize such a self- confident and outgoing puppy!  You are getting quite a reputation in San Diego for these wonderful dogs.  I met Manhattan last night and everyone at the training field said they knew immediately he was from the same breeder as Gianni and Rico!  His owners are just as pleased as I am.  It was really nice to see you and Bryan- and all the dogs look great.  I was pleased to be able to see Marco's father work.  I'm attaching a photo of Marco at eleven weeks - quite a handsome boy, isn't he?  Again, thanks for my wonderful dogs.

Love, Paula

Hello to all at Von Falconer,

I though you might want to post this lovely picture of my precious dogs - Casey (Male) 3rd son of Jerry, and Valkarie (female) now 9 months daughter of Sudie. Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs.  I know that I am biased but as far as I am concerned no other dog exists but the German Shepherd Dog.

Happy Holidays,
Cindi, Sean, Valkarie, and Casey

Eric,
The kids wrote a poem about Xena.  The cute little boy with her is Matthieu.  Thank you for our wonderful, beautiful and super loyal dog.  She will forever be our beautiful Xena.

 The Delgadillo Family

XENA
Fast as a bullet out of a chamber
Black as the midnight sky
She has big, brown eyes
These eyes - they do not lie
She's as energetic as the Energizer Bunny
Very playful she is - and at times quite funny
She loves to play fetch...and Oh, did I mention catch?
She'll never get mad at you
But will always be loyal to you
This I can say is so true

Eric,

Thank you for the perfect dog!

Dear Eric and Brian,

I wanted to send you some pictures of Morgan & Zuanka in her new home!  I think you would be pleased in how quickly she's become part of the family.

She's now housebroken (without her crate), is running up and down the stairs at will and his taking her duties on "perimeter watch" very seriously!!  What a great dog for us to have out here in the country!

I really think she's very happy here and again, wanted to thank you for letting us have her!  Will get the crate back to you when the weather gets better!

Thanks again!

Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our dog, KC. She is almost 2 yrs old and is a great family dog. She has even made friends with a local deer, who has come around for the past 2 years. Attached are a couple of candid photos I wanted to share with you.

Thanks, Tracy

Hello Eric and Bryan,

June has shrunk to a sleek 71 lbs. She has the most beautiful soft, dark features and just as with Von, not a day goes by that she does not get complements on her beauty. They are a beautiful pair and complement each other well. Although she may seem docile and gentle, she is VERY protective of her new home! She will bark at anyone who comes over as if to let them know "this is MY territory and YOU are intruding"! Even more so than Von. Her figure has returned to about 95-98% lean muscle and can hold her own as far as her strength is concerned. When Von is trying to overpower her and starts to pound on her, she'll tolerate it and won't do a thing to him until I step in a give her permission to defend herself. She won't hesitate when I tell her to "get him" and she will then assert herself and fend him off or calm him down some. Very impressive she is! She has been out of season for approximately 2 weeks now and my god that was the longest three weeks of our lives! She has an appointment to be spayed @ the beginning of August. We were told by the Humane Society that we have to wait 1 month after her heat period ends to reduce complications and to keep her away from other males until then as well. After her recovery she will be able to return for the remaining 5 lessons. We have been working hard with her and have had to be more firm. She has been manipulative! And we feel like she has pulled one over on us. She knows her commands and has made some good improvements but she has some days where she becomes VERY stubborn! She also brings us great joy! She is a very good swimmer and prefers still waters as I have learned. She also loves going for car rides, likes the beach and just LOVES ice cubes! She comes running when she hears the ice maker. She is "sneaky" at times and makes grunting noises occasionally. It is because of this that she has earned the nicknames "the Coyote" and "hedgehog".

We have been a very happy family and are so proud of our poochies as I loving call them collectively. It almost makes me want to get another! But we have our hands full now. Eventually, after Von has fully matured and finished all of his training (we anticipate him starting his protection training when he turns two) we will start to re-think it. I can't thank you enough for all that we have learned from you. We are so glad to have found you in our search for our canine(s). Again, they have bought so much joy to us and we love them so much that we just can't wait to get home from work to spend time with them and I anticipate my days off with them.

Thank You again,
Jason and Kristal

Hello Eric and Bryan,

Von is growing (still) into a more handsome "stud" everyday. Never a day goes by that when we are out that he doesn't receive a complement on how handsome/beautiful, strong, and well behaved (hmmm....) he is. He is approximately 93 lbs. of lean doggie! There have been a couple of times that he has stepped on my foot when playing and has actually given me a bruise (my bad, I was barefoot or wearing sandals). The last time it almost felt like he fractured some bones in MY foot. Nothing a little ice and elevation didn't help. I feel that his "allergies" are more environmental than food related. I say this because he had been on the fish and potato diet meal for approximately 3 mos. and would still have intermittent flare-ups of dermatitis. He has been on low doses of prednisone and fish oil capsules that help but I notice that when we go to our neighborhood park his allergies are exacerbated for a couple of days and he gets intensely itchy, redness, and scratches so much that he ends up loosing patches of hair. We just recently figured this out and he no longer goes to our local park, He also gets bathed once every 1 1/2 to 3 weeks with a natural shampoo called "Earth Bath" which contains Tea Tree Oil and a complementary Tea Tree Oil and Oatmeal conditioner spray for in between bathing. This has seemed to help A LOT! along with varying his dose of prednisone. Just thought I would be specific about this just in case any of your other clients are having troubles with their pooches and contact dermatitis. He LOVES going for car rides and playing with his "chuck-it" @ the beach. He LOVES the beach! He has brought so much joy to our lives and even on his most difficult days it is impossible to not love him.

Thank You again,
Jason and Kristal

Quinn is five now!

August 24th, 2006

Hi Eric,

Just wanted to give you a short update on Quinn, born 8/9/01. Sire: Jerry Dam: Anna.  She tips the scales at 65 pounds and is in excellent condition. Always moving, she's an all around athlete and excellent companion for daily adventures.

I couldn't have asked for a better German Shepherd Dog.  Her breeding and temperament is rock solid.  The photograph of Quinn was taken recently in Bishop in the Eastern Sierras.  We've been hiking and rock climbing there for the last few years.  It's wonderful to have an obedient and confident dog to hike with off-leash.  She's friendly to other dogs and people, but does a great "watch" when strangers approach.  I've been told on more than one occasion that she's intimating.  Yep, she's perfect!

Thank you,
Laurie.

Hi Eric & Bryan!

We are thrilled with our almost 2 year old Von Falconer Shepherd, Larry.

We are thinking about doing agility training with him. Can you give us a little more info on your classes? Are there any prerequisites?

Looking forward to hearing more about it.

Thanks,

Jen and Chrise

Dear Eric and Bryan,

We wanted to thank you again for bringing Astra into our lives. We never knew how incomplete life can be without a canine companion running around the house.

Astra’s assimilation into our family was seamless. The first day she found her way around the house and claimed it as her own. Over the past few months, she has become not only our child, but a part of our extended family as well. My sister refers to her as her niece. As we don’t have our own kids, we tend to spoil Astra a bit and I doubt she minds.

It was such a huge treat for us to adopt a dog that was already house broken and trained. She has yet to eat a shoe, hide a sock or rip up any furniture. I couldn’t imagine a better pet. (Although we’re also still a bit apprehensive with her around our nephews and other small children.)

We would like to come see you again and get a refresher course on what Astra is trained to do. Thanks again for the wonderful services you provide in breeding, training and enriching our lives.

All the Best,
Jim and Nora

Eric,

You don't know what you did - you gave us a million dollar dog for only a fraction of his worth.  Thank you so much for him!  He is the best pup ever.  We named him Von Falconer's Boogie Woogie - we call him Woogie.  He has Shadow's temperament, but is smarter and more willing.  He is loving, and brave, and sweet... He is perfect.  We love him (can you tell?)  He is just so good, I can't believe it.

I am thinking of bringing him to class on Saturday, either this week or next.  What time is the beginner class?  Can I just show up, or do I need to let you know in advance?
