With tears in my eyes.

We had a very sweet older puppy (7 months), Erich, that never got sold. Nothing wrong with him, just one of those things, he started getting older and people contacting us want 8 week old puppies. Anyhow, it was breaking my heart to see him sitting in a kennel.

A few weeks ago having dinner and talking to my aunt, she told us (hubby and I) that a co-worker of hers was looking for a dog, a big dog (no breed specific). We immediately thought of Erich. We told my aunt that if she thought they would make a great home, they could have Erich for free. I rather give him away and see him loved and spoiled than to wait any longer for the right home to come and give us $1500. Erich deserves the best!

Funny enough, the very next day after we told them they could have him, we received FOUR emails from people interested/wanting to buy him.

Too late!!!

They came a few days later and met Erich, of course they fell in love with him right away.

He is such a sweet loving pup! And very handsome too.

I was just talking to my aunt and she said Erich (now Zeus) sleeps on the bed with his mommy and daddy now. And while mom and dad are at work, he gets to spend the day at grandma and grandpa's house. And that they take him on hikes every weekend.

This brought tears to my eyes and I'm so happy for my little Erich/Zeus.

Here is a picture of Erich and his new mommy the day they met him. Are they cute or what??

Very nice. Nice looking dog. Maybe we'll see his mommy on GSD Forum and get updates. Very good of you to honor your word.

My aunt knows this couple well, she even went to their wedding. So not only was I assured it would be a great home but that I would always hear about Zeus and see pictures of him and all. That to me is worth more than $1500.

Erich was a very lucky pup in both his new home and his first! He is a beautiful pup!
