I would like to take
this opportunity to thank the people who have supported von Hayden German Shepherds.
I'd like to thank my husband, Matthew who has always put forth effort
in helping, with whatever task is at hand. He has been the greatest support system for me with all his patience,
understanding and love. Thank you for the endless years of help, dedication and memories, I would have never made it
so far without you. I look forward to the memories that are to come.
A very special thank you to my second mother, best friend, and business manager, Elaine.
Without your help and guidance, I'd be completely lost. It’s not every day you meet someone who will give you something
and expect nothing in return, and for this I am grateful. Thank you for your hard work, time, effort and support. Over the
last few years you've made a HUGE impact on von Hayden German Shepherds. There are no words to express your
kindness. Thank you for always having an open door policy with von Hayden's team; you’re always a very gracious
host.
An enormous thank
you to my second father, Jack. Thank you for the countless hours (months) of consulting, talks, guidance, help and time you've
put into von Hayden German Shepherds! Your advice has been unsurpassed; you've helped us through some of the roughest
times and I can't even find words to explain how grateful we are. You and your wife are two of the most important team
members we could ever ask for. Also, thanks for opening your mind and heart to our dogs; it means the world to us.
An exceptional thank you to one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable vets ever, Dr.
George Cattiny Jr. Thank you for the endless hours you've spend with our team, our dogs and myself! Your insight of
the German Shepherd breed and our program, is superior to all others. You are another cherished team member who
can never be replaced. You've always been reliable regardless of time, travels or schedules, and for this I
am most grateful (as are all of our animals). Thank you for your time, guidance and help throughout the years, and we look
forward to the years that are to come.
A very warm thank you to Birgit Asel
for making it possible for us to add some fantastic dogs to our breeding program. I'd also like to thank you for being
a gracious host when we come to Germany. Your hospitality is very much appreciated. I'd also like to thank you for giving
me my shadow #1 and one of the loves of my life, Tina. My life would have been so different without her, and for
this I thank you a million times. (Ein sehr warmes Danke schön an Birgit , die es für uns möglich
machte das wir einige fantastische Hunde in unserem Zuchtprogram hinzuzufügen konnten. Ich möchte Dir auch danken
für die Einlandung wenn wir nach Deutschland kommen . Deine Gastfreundlichkeit schätzen wir sehr. Danke ,für
meinen Schatten Nr 1 ( eine von vielen ) und die Liebe meines lebens, Tina. Mein Leben wäre so anders ohne sie und für
das bedanke ich mich millionweise.)
A big thank
you to Wolfgang & Elfriede Wagner for my shadow #2 and another love of my life, Nando. You did a fabulous job training
Nando, and I can't thank you enough for your graciousness. Thank you for being patient and understanding with us throughout
the years. Nando is not only adored but he is also catered to and receives the royal treatment here.
I can't imagine my life without him, and for this I thank you with all my heart. (Ein
grosses Danke schön auch an Wolfgang und Elfriede für meinen Schatten NR 2 und eine weitere Liebe meines lebens,
Nando. Du hast eine fabelhafte Arbeit geleistet in der Ausbildung von Nando. Danke das ihr die Jahre hindurch so geduldig
und verständissvoll uns gegenüber seid.Macht euch keine Sorgen, Nando wird hier angehimmelt und bedient wie ein
König. Ich könnte mein Leben ohne ihn auch nicht mehr vorstellen. Ich bedanke mich aus tiefsten Herzen.)
A special Thank You to my clients!!! I've
had the greatest luck with clients; you are the very best in the world. Thank you all, for your support, friendship and loyalty.
You've all been so wonderful throughout the years. Thank you for all the beautiful, heartfelt testimonies. I can't
express my appreciation for all you've done for my dogs.
