The farm is located in Knowlton, NJ, just a few miles off of I-80.

I'm nearby in Somerset, NJ and DEFINITELY interested! I've even looked up your girl and the upcoming litters that Ulf is offering. Unfortunately I'm working through a work (or, possibly no-work ) situation right now but if things work out as planned I'll have a home-based job and an amazing GSD pup before the end of the year. I do hope the club stays solvent in the meantime. I'm happy to do any sort of advertising for you guys but sadly do not currently know anyone with a tending breed in the area these days.

best of luck and I'll be in touch!

I just wanted to bump this up to keep it active. We've had two people come out for instinct tests with very nice dogs, but we are hoping to generate more interest. C'mon out, we don't bite!

And shell nyc - I hope you get everything worked out! Hope to see you at the farm...one day

Just another quick update - we've had some e-mails, but only two people have actually come out. If you are planning on coming down - please contact Geary ASAP, don't wait til the last minute. Big decisions will have to be made about the farm pretty soon, and right now it's not looking great. We only need one or two more students!

Cross post, tell your friends, spread the word!

[phgsd]

So as of today (9/23), we need ONE more student. If we can get one more, we will be able to keep the club/farm going. If not...next Sunday is it

Geary would also consider a board-and-train situation.

So...if anyone is left out there...it's make or break time.

tell them I'll come as the last needed guy, (but I can't and I won't) but I'll be there in spirit and even pay the fee (FREE) -- please someone attend already.

[wolfstraum]

just thought of someone who might be interested in a board and train....

will send her your information

I just wanted to post an update...I got the word this afternoon that Geary will be staying. I am SO thankful and relieved, I barely slept all week, I was so worried!!

We did get some inquiries from people with young dogs - don't forget about us when your pup is old enough We still have room for another member or two.

Come on NJ / NY people - I would just die to be able to train an HGH dog of my own....I also have to do it vicariously through Meghan.....lets spread the word and get some support for this important part of our breed!

It really depends on where you live in NY.

If they only weren't so far away... I'd totally do it. 4-5 hours is just too far and I've commited to Marcus training group. Can't do both.
I'd love to take the HIT but I don't want to take it just because it's free and that's the only time I'm at that club. That just seems wrong and would probably be frustrating for the club too because it's a waste of resources for someone that won't ever show up again.

How much would be a board and train situation?
