Dear Nancy, My name is Mark De Luca and in April of 2008 I purchased one of your shepherds from Scott Michaelson & Frank Radice up here on Long Island. The dog is perfect in every way imaginable! He was born at your kennel on January 17, 2008 and you gave him the name of Xandau Brewer. I was hoping that I could get another copy of his papers from you as I have lost the original set. I never registered him with the AKC and now people are asking if I’m willing to breed him and I am I just need his papers. Please contact me at your earliest convenience on how I can get a new set of papers. Thanks So much! Mark De Luca |

Hi Nancy,
I wanted to send you pictures of our three Brewers GSDs, Zarek (almost 6 years old), Fritz (4 years old) and Zada (now almost 9 months). Zarek is high energy and very intense, while Fritz, our largest at 140 lbs., is sweet and calm. Our newest addition, Zada, is the first girl GSD we have had. She is smart, loving, energetic and definitely the boss. She goes to work with me and is very well behaved. But, she loves to stay home and hang out with my husband to tap naps laying on top of him on the sofa. And she feels the need to supervise the other two dogs...a girl's work is never done. Best Regards, Hope |

I adopted Onna von Brewer (sire Charles von Todd and dam Caine Manor Law Den's Deputy) in May of 2000 when she was just shy of 2 years old (and I was 69). She came from an unhappy home where the husband did not really like her. The couple finally called Animal Control, handed him all her AKC and purchase contract papers, and said "take her to the pound". Fortunately, instead of the pound, I was contacted because I had lost my third Golden Retriever to pancreatitis only months earlier. Onna and I agreed that she would come live with me. Initially, she was somewhat insecure and chewed some furniture, but that did not last. She still will not go downstairs to the basement or even enter the basement from outside, so perhaps she had been traumatized there in her former home. Onna and I are very happy together. I live alone and she is my constant companion, always at my side or checking up on me. She is a good watchdog and very protective of me. We are working on her obedience training. As you witnessed when you evaluated her, she remembers most of her earlier training. I have to learn to tell, not ask, her to sit, lie down, stay, etc. and to be consistent in my expectations. I am attaching some photos of her and myself. Regards, George McPheters |

We are so pleased with our fourth family member from Brewer's Kennel. Dena fits right into our family. She is sweet and loving and loyal. She adores the children and watches them play in the yard. She is obedient, instantly honors every request with a big doggy smile on her face. Nancy Brewer has perfectly matched each dog to us without fail. She is available any time to answer questions. The baby in particular is very attached to Dena. He sits on the floor beside her crate or lies on her stomach when she is out in the house. She follows him everywhere, and herds him away from trouble spots. We cannot thank Ms. Brewer enough for our fabulous pets. Margaret and family.(Souleymane Sr, little Margaret, Souleymane Jr, and Robert) |

Zeno is a well, a very interesting dog. I was not expecting his personality to end up quite like it seems to be ending up. At first, I thought he'd be hard headed, independent, and possibly a bit handler aggressive. As he has gotten older, he has developed a very strong pack instinct, more than any other GSD I've seen. He is literally glued to me when he's out, laying on me or physically touching me when possible. I thought he'd be more independent. He is also smarter than my past two, learning quickly and not doing a tremendous amount of dopey things. He is sharply protective of territory and is suspicious and aggressive to those he does not know who are in or approach the home. When I tested him a few weeks ago with a friend pretending to be aggressive while he was on a leash, he did the right things, barking aggressively, showing no fear, hair up on the back. He would have bitten without a doubt. He is definitely a fighter. He likes to bite canvas tugs and his grip will be fine I think. On the negative side, he is still hard headed, and can be a bit frustrating to train, even though he could probably learn faster since he is quite intelligent. He wants to do what he wants to do. Also, I'm having problems getting him to act neutral and aloof in a public setting. He likes to lunge, bark, and otherwise act crazy when other people or dogs are close. This seems to be getting a little bit better as he gets older, but with all the corrections, I would have expected him to get better faster! He does great with my 2 mutts and he likes the cats, so we are good there. He is a really good boy overall. I'm thinking either my training abilities weren't as good as I thought, or I need to wait for him to get a bit older so he can calm down a bit more before we do a ton of heavy training. At some point I'd love to bring him back up there for you to see him... he is really good looking! He was a lean 60 pounds at 6 months, so he will be around that 90 pound range, good height too. |

My husband and I have been customers of Ms. Brewer's for the past three years. We have been very pleased with our experience at Brewer's Kennel. Ms. Brewer trained our dog Dora and titled her in Schutzhund in 2006. We have been very impressed with Ms. Brewer's integrity and dedication to the well being of the breed and to the dogs she cares for on a daily basis. She has always been very professional and honest in our transactions with her and we have considered our experience at Brewer's Kennel a very positive one. We were so pleased with our experience that we purchased our male German Shepherd, Olympus, from Nancy in July 2006 and we have been thrilled with him. He is exactly what he was represented as, a trained personal protection dog. In closing, we have been very impressed with Ms. Brewer's profesionalism and committment to ther industry as well as to her dogs. | ||||||||||

Nitro is 2 yrs old now. We really have enjoyed having him as part of our family. He is so attentive! He has to know what is going on 24hrs a day! He watches us constantly to know exactly what we are all doing. He loves to be a constant part of us. He is so devoted. He loves to play ball! He will fetch anything! He loves to play baseball and golf with my son. He hits the ball and Nitro retrieves it and drops it at his feet. My son never has to move! Ha! Ha! He sits and watches the kids play badminton. He is so funny! His head moves back and forth watching the birdie! If it goes out of bounds, he knows it! He will then get up and retrieve the birdie! He is so smart! He is also beautiful! We get so many compliments on him. He just has such an intellectual look about him. Thanks again for all your advise and breeding such a wonderful dog! Michelle Moore and family. |

Hello Nancy, We had some photos taken (by Ron Dashaies), and I wanted to share some of them with you. Also, I want to tell you how much we love Greta. When it was time to get a dog, I was determined to get another husky. My husband, however, wanted to try a different breed. This is one time I am glad I gave in. Greta is such a wonderful addition to our family. She is very intelligent, loves to play, and is wonderful companionship. Thank you so much for choosing her for us. |

Hi Nancy, My Family and I want to thank you for our first German Shepherd, Olympia von Brewer. She is a joy to have, and we love her dearly. We also appreciate your 24/7 customer service and kindness. She is a smart, happy puppy that makes us smile all the time. Thank you again, Mr and Mrs Souleymane Bah and Souleymane Jr. I am sending you this email to thank you for my second purchase from you, Cora. You have done a wonderful job matching her to my family. She is very sweet and loving. Imagine my surprise when after having her for only 5 days, she showed me what she is really made of. My husband was out of town and I was up late watching TV with Cora. She sat up, growled and ran to the back door. She began barking furiously at a strange man that was standing on my deck at 3 am. I said \"Go away before I let my dog go!\" She scared him so bad, he ran away before the police could get here. I feel safe in my home and know I have a loyal family member that loves us and will without a doubt protect us. Thank you a million times, Margaret |

I just wanted to let you know how much we love Viper. When we got him I felt a connection with him even though he was not a small cuddly little puppy. He was four months old when he became a part of our family. I can still remember the ride home and how well behaved he was. You had really done a good job with him and it showed. Thanks so much for all the support you have given me. Knowing that I am a fellow breeder has not made you a uncareing person. That means alot to me and why I send people to you when I do not have puppies. I know you have good dogs and that is why I turned to you when I lost my stud dog Lugar. Viper is perfect for Joe and I. He loves to play ball and is good with our grandchildren. Thanks so much for your hard work and understanding of the German Shepherd. I have learned so much from you, so thanks again for your special breeding and knowledge. Gail |

This is Onyx. I have been training her for Shari M. since she was 14 weeks old. When Shari and Onyx came to me, Onyx was aggressing her owner and Shari was at the end of her rope. She asked if I could help her...Could I help her !!! I did, and now I have been training Onyx for a SchH title. Onyx is a Rottie, a very strong and powerful breed, that need attention and a job. If you have a problem with your dog, please seek Brewers kennel for your training needs. |

Nancy, I wanted to write to you to express my gratitude for the enormous changes your training has brought about in our dog. We bought Dora as a puppy and we have always adored her. She has always been energetic and willful. However, as she grew we became increasingly frustrated with her problem behavior i.e. chewing, digging, nipping and jumping. Our dog jumped on us everyday as her normal greeting. Our son, who loves animals, would be greeted in the same fashion and would literally be knocked down. As you might imagine he became terrified of his own dog. Desperate to control these problem behaviors we went to at least two other dog trainers. Both of these trainers worked with Dora and she would show some progress but upon returning home she always reverted back to the negative behaviors. Desperate for help, I stumbled across your website. My husband and I talked it over and decided to consult with you about Dora. Since going through your basic obedience course we have noticed a complete turnaround in Dora. We are thrilled with the results, our dog is now the loving, protective and obedient family companion we had always hoped for. Our son is the happiest of all as he now has the best friend he has always longed for. Thank you again for everything! Sincerely, Amber Gates |

 Dear Nancy,Mariko with her new Alliterative English name of "Marigold " states that before she began her modeling career, she went to Nancy's finishing school and learned decorum and basic obedience. She states that she could never have done it without Nancy's house manors and lessons. She is now a great pet, well trained and still looks forward to country vacations at Aunt Nancy's.

| Dear Nancy, I wanted to write and thank you again for all your help in training our two German Shepherds. Your 3 week basic obedience program worked wonders on Heidi. We sent her to you because of her biting and jumping and she has never done this again since we brought her back home. In fact, she is now extremely gentle with the children in our neighborhood and they are no longer afraid of her. We purchased both of our shepherds from you and have been completely satisfied with them. They have become valued members of our family. Thank you again, J |

This is Jason and Jaime Murphy writing to give you an update on Omara. We bought her from you in August 2000. She is doing very well and got a sister, Tessa, from the Doberman Rescue of the Triad in 2001. They are great together. I never thought I would see the day when Mara would share anything with another dog, much less her house and favorite humans. We just wanted to let you know that she is a happy 7 year old now and just as spunky as ever. Every year at the annual Doberman Rescue picnic Tessa wins the contest for fastest sit but Mara always wins for best costume (LOL ;) 
I needed urgent help with an out of control Akita puppy who was hurting our "Westie" and never behaving. I went to the Internet and found a fiesty, little ANGEL named Nancy Brewer who turned our world around! Nancy took Celeste into her home and training facility and stopped the bad behaviors, trained her to behave and act civilized where we could enjoy her and our Westie could come out of hiding. Nancy truly knows her job and loves working the dogs. I had never before left my pets with a trainer, but after meeting Nancy I did not hesitate one second. Several months later, I needed to board Celeste. nancy came to my home, which is one hour away, to pick her up and kept Celeste in her home. I couldn't have asked for more. The moment Nancy walked in our home Celeste ignored us, went straight to Nancy and was eager to go. To see my dog that happy to see Nancy did my heart wonders!! It shows how well Nancy treats the dogs she trains. She offers a wonderful pick-up service also. Nancy worked with me and my schedule, took time with questions so that I understood better, I BELIEVE Nancy works wonders, especially with my dog that I felt was otherwise untrainable........thanks for so much.
