Cinder joined our family in September 2008 as a German Shepherd puppy full of promise. Not knowing what this lively ball of fur would grow and mature into, we put our trust in our own good sense and made sure we took advantage of the socialization and the training program offered by Jim Ward at the Granite State Dog Training Center.

Now at nine months of age Cinder in blossoming into the family member we had wished for. She is absolutely stunning, a regal example of all that a German Shepherd should be in stature, coordination, and raw energy. And, even though she is a powerhouse, she is a tremendously sociable, well-behaved dog with children, visitors to our home and other pets of this family and others.

As my husband says, it is amazing to think that, if Jim had presented us with a menu of traits we would have wanted in a dog, Cinder would have been made to order. She is truly a gift that we give to our famiy and share with our friends and neighbors every day.
