Reviews For Calico Junction German Shepherd, Reputable Puppy Breeder

1/30/22I have searched over a year for a black long hair German Shepherd off and on with great dismay . . . the excuses varied from "Good Luck" to "Maybe in a year or so". I called Nancy after my wife had told me she's spoke to her and said she had several black long hair German Shepherds. Nancy was kind and courteous from first contact. She accomadated our schedule including one schedule change on our part. I have had several shepherds in my lifetime including black long hairs and I was impressed with the litter I had to choose from. All the dogs on the farm were well maintained and seemed very happy and clean in their straw beds. The mannerisms of the 6 puppies (1 male, 5 female) were very calm with healthy play. I was only looking for one, but surely would've taken two from that litter. I have only nice and kind things to say about the experience I had with Nancy from Calico Junction Long Coat German Shepherd (this was my first time meeting Nancy and purchasing a dog from her). If you searched for a long hair black German Shepherd like I did, it's definately worth giving Nancy a call. What an absolute joy our puppy is to our family. We can't go anywhere without getting wonderful compliments from all who encounter us. WHAT A BONUS . . . ABC - Always Buy Colorado !!!

Zeke Update ZIGGY & REMI PUP
Inboxx[email protected]Jan 29 (1 day ago) to me Hi Nancy- We purchased your 6 month old male, Zeke (pick of the litter from Ziggy and Remi born June 2017) and have had him just over a month. He is doing great and at 7 months weighs just under 80 lbs. You may remember before I purchased him I asked you a million questions about him, especially about his temperament/socialization etc. Well. his temperament is fantastic! Nothing fazes Zeke. He is naturally curious and new objects or loud noises do not scare this dog. I take him with me everywhere I can and he is so mellow out in public, not only with people but other dogs. He has that perfect GSD slightly aloof way about him and stays calm and relaxed when strangers pet him and when he meets new dogs. Having owned GSD’s since the mid 1990’s he is one of my favorites already with his beautiful confirmation, wonderful movement and great attitude towards training. Better pix to follow soon. Thanks Adam Schaefer |
Terra is without a doubt the best dog I have ever had, and I’ve had a number of dogs in my life. When I first contacted Nancy she told me that her puppies were bred with a calm personality. Well I have to say this is very true. When it’s time to play she’s ready, she will run away from a bowl of liver to jump in the truck or play Frisbee in the field. But when it’s time to relax she gets that too. Off leash I never have to worry about her wandering, she is always at my side. I swear we don’t even need a fence with this beautiful girl. Terra is the best behaved, most loyal, and one of the most beautiful dogs you will ever meet.
Thank you Nancy for this gift to our family.

6/26/17 We are so in love with our new four legged son! I did a lot of research on many breeders and kept coming back to Calico Junction. I had lots of communication with Nancy from before we sent our deposit and now weeks after we picked up Knightro Segan. He is a healthy growing boy. We traveled over seven hours each way to get him and Nancy was very receptive to the fact that we wanted to come by to see him the afternoon that we go in town to meet our new boy and herself as well. We went over the contract and loved on our boy. We then went back to the nice little cabin that we rented for the night. The following morning first thing we went and signed the paperwork and hit the road with our new family member. From day one he was potty trained and I will say that is all because of the way Nancy and Jim have there kennels set up for the puppies. They have an indoor play and eating area and an outside area that is just for them and their litter mates. This is separated by a doggy door, so they can go outside to potty and no inside. Our Knightro will "knock" on the back door with his paw when he needs to go out. Knightro is so very smart and so much fun. We have started his basic training and will continue with training until he is ready to be a service dog for my husband who suffered SSHL and has vertigo. He will be trained to both alert and counter balance. We could not be happier that we chose Calico Junction and our boy Knightro! |

· January 18 at 6:12am · I purchased Heidi Dec 15 2016 from Neevah and Ammo's 10/1/16 litter. I could not be happier with her. Since I picked her up, she has been pretty much house broken. She will go to the door and sit or paw the door to go out. I drove 22 hours straight home in the car and not one accident. Again, she would paw me to tell me to pull over. She is very smart and alert. Nancy is wonderful breeders. She was very accomating to me through this whole process. I look forward to getting another pup from her. |

Hey Jim and Nancy,
I just wanted to write to you and thank you so much for my wonderful dog Nash (we got him in August). He was in the litter from callie and ziggy. (He was previously known as orange collar). I have attached two photos for you to see. He is the kindest, sweetest, most loving and loyal dog. He is highly intelligent and very energetic. Every we go people stop and tell me how beautiful he is. He has been the greatest addition to our family. Thanks again, Amanda & Tyler Wiggers January 3, 2107 4:11 pm |
Shiloh will be Two years old on Jan. 18th he's about 100 lbs and so gentle. He is the sweetest and smartest (we have to spell in front of him because of his huge vocabulary) Long Coat GSD we've ever had in 44 years. He is also the easiest dog we ever housebroke.
Although his size may intimidate people, he is our little baby. We would love to have a little female for him.
Thank you so much for raising such good tempered GSDs.

3/25/2018 My husband and I had been searching for some long haired german shepherd puppies for quite some time. After searching many websites and talking to many breeders, we decided to go with Nancy from Calico Junction's long haired german shepherds because of her knowledge and professionalism , and her dogs. After purchasing a female, picking her up, and meeting Nancy and seeing her dogs and kennels, we decided to purchase a Male puppy from her. Since then we have purchased another female puppy which we should be receiving on April 14th 2018. The 2 puppies that we have now which are 8 months and 9 months old have been very wonderful companions. They are good natured and everyone who sees them loves them. Our own vet has expressed several times how healthy, beautiful and good natured they are.we would highly recommend Nancy as she has been very helpful from the time before during and after the purchase. Keep up the good work Nancy! |

2/11/2018 I have to say after 4 months of breeders being disappointments I finally found a great place! Ever since I picked my girl up from the airport she has been everything I could've asked for! She's one big happy fur ball. Took her to the vet and they were very happy with her health. Nancy will answer any of your messages very quickly with a true and caring response. Her passion to make sure her puppies go to a great home is what makes her stand out! Nothing but a quality happy dog comes from this quality breeder!!

9/18/16My sister and I purchased sister puppies last month. We are very pleased with our pups.. they are healthy, intelligent, and seem to be everything we were looking for when searching for a breeder. I was impressed by the personalities of the parent dogs, the condition of the kennel, and appreciated the time given to us for questions we had. Jim and Nancy's views on good nutrition for dogs were reassuring, as well, as we are both nurses, and know the importance of good diet for optimal health and development. Would recommend this kennel...

Courtney R. 10/18/16I am pulling a copy and paste since they've deleted all of the good reviews and left this wonderful place with one star! Personally I can't believe yelp took away every 5 star review and left the horrible one that is falsely accusing them of being a puppy mill! Get on that yelp and fix your mess! TIP: Read the not recommended bc you will find all the good reviews! I love my puppy I received!! Definitely a 5 star place- NOT a puppy mill! To the lady with the poor review- Why on earth didn't you take the opportunity to get the free puppy health insurance they provide (free 30 days then only like 45 a month and it covers any mishaps) is beyond me! You could have saved yourself those medical expenses and protected your beloved family member simultaneously... With that out of the way, we have the most loving, kind, gentle sweet girl that is top quality with no birth defects or diseases! My children ADORE her! Maggie is the best dog I could have ever asked for... And Nancy and Jim made that happen. I spoke to Nancy over the phone and told her exactly what we wanted for our family giving great detail and we got a perfect match! I was sent multiple pictures and it felt as if I was there in person picking my sweet Maggie. Nancy is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much you guys! I will absolutely recommend you to everyone I know with confidence |

My husband Jim & I drove to TN and visited the kennel and purchased a great puppy from Nancy. "Grizz" is one of our family, and has been very healthy and good natured. I too am a breeder and am extremely careful of bloodlines, health, and the conditions where my dogs come from. Nancy is very knowledgeable, helpful and honest. I would not hesitate to purchase another from her. Carla Eikelberg RN,

Subject: Grizz update Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:12:19 -0600 Grizz earned his CGC certificate! This is him the day he got it- trying to be a good citizen (ha) and drag my puppy food to the kennel (really he was such a “goober” he wanted to run all over with it) He is enrolled in obedience classes- we will keep you updated on any titles.

I meant to write you sooner. Here is a quick up date. It took a few days we finally decided on a name for the puppy. We chose Wolfgang. It seems to suit him. When he went in for his second set of shots. He weighs 22 very heavy pounds. Lol My vet could not believe how much ha had grown in a week. Wolf weighed 19 and 1/2 pounds and he was 15 inches at the top of his shoulder. The next visit we went to this week. He weighed in at 32 very heavy pounds. I have not been able to get him to stand still long enough to get a height at his shoulder yet but the picture will give you a good idea how big he is.
We are still working on house breaking him. He does good at going outside most days. He is a character. He loves to shake paws and we are working on stay. His favorite activity is jumping in our many piles of leaves and rolling around in them. Everyone who meets him just loves him. Click on file to the left for more stories and updates. Tina Kreske Long Coat German Shepherds by Calico Junction March 25, 2014 · Here is a new pic of our Wolfegang. You can see how sweet he is just by looking into his eyes. He is 6 months old in this picture and he weighs a whopping 64 pounds. He is already wearing the size large collars. He is already putting his paws on my shoulders and looking me straight in the eye. Lol if you try to ignore him. He will try to steal something away from you. It can be a napkin or a book.. He sneaks up and takes it and runs away. You just have to laugh at him. Thanks for such a wonderful puppy |
Hello,
My name is Nick Bellucco. I, along with my fiance Stephanie Hopkins, purchased our GSD from you back in April. He was the male pick of the litter from Calinda Von Lieb and Czar Winland Von Kokeltal. Almost a year has passed and I thought we should share that our pup is doing great. We named him Koda. He is very friendly and even-tempered. He loves playing in the snow, here in Rochester, NY. If you would like more photos, I'd be happy to provide them. Thanks for everything, Nick |

To: [email protected] Hi Nancy, It was so nice to talk with you about the dogs yesterday, I am very happy to find your kennel! Hopefully you get some little guys like Czar soon. I really like that you have your dogs around livestock and you know they are good about it. There are many dogs that just can’t be trusted no matter how well trained.

Hi Nancy! Murphy is wonderful! He is about 90 lbs and thinks he's a tiny lap dog. One of his favorite things to do is to snuggle, anytime, anywhere! He follows our girls around all the time. He hates it when they go out to play and they leave the front yard because he can't see them anymore. Just last night our oldest went out with her friend to walk around and Murphy must have run around the house for 30 minutes whining and whimpering as if to tell us that Shannon was gone and we had better go find her! He LOVES to play fetch! Without a doubt that is his favorite activity of all time. He even walks around the house with a ball in his mouth like it was a pacifier :) He and his "sister" Ginger are completely co-dependent on each other and are very rarely out of each other's sight. From the first day we brought him home, they have been inseparable! Please use whatever pictures you want. We love this crazy dog and couldn't be happier to have him in our family. Traci
