Look, we have enough trouble getting people to spell shepherd properly. No way are they going to spell it in German properly.

Yes, the a-umlaut which you can write using ae. It makes a short A sound, although a vowel followed by two consonants shortens the vowel sound as well. Lisa has the same letter in her kennel name (zu treuen Haenden).
