On this page you will see comments from different people that
have purchased puppies or dogs from my kennel.
Hey Patti,
How is everything? Neiko is doing great--and getting big. He is very well
behaved and has also learned to stay. He has become very attached to Christy and
I, following us everywhere we go. He is wonderful! I am looking into building a
dog house and was wondering if you new Sirk's height and length so I could get
an idea of how big the house needs to be. Here are some pictures of Neiko that I
took this weekend at 5 months old. He probably weighs around 50 pounds. Hope all
is well. Talk to you later.

Patti, everything went swimmingly at this end, and Lucas was
fairly unperturbed with all that traveling! He's getting acquainted with his new
surroundings and other pets. We had to laugh at him as we let him roam freely
around our Bedroom where we have three long mirrors, and he ran up to each one,
wagging his tail, and licking that cute little pup greeting him!!!
He was very thirsty, when we picked him up, and after slaking his thirst, he ate
greedily. We have a small enclosure for him in our bathroom, and have taken him
for short walks in the garden, and he's done all his business outside! Good-oh.
He's sweet-tempered, and we're sure he'll be a wonderful pet for us! Barbara
gave him his heartworm pill as you suggested. He follows Barbara wherever she
walks, so he's really attached to her. Thank you for all your help in getting
him here. We'll be taking him to our Vet on Monday to start his chart, and send
you a copy.
Did everything go well with the new litter you were expecting?
Best regards-- Bud.

Patti & Walter,
Lexa is doing great! She went to
the vet on last Monday and everything was fine. Everyone loved her at
the vet. People are amazed that she is a pure German shepherd because
she is all black.
She gets along with everyone and all the dogs she met
so far in the neighborhood. She is quite a handful!! Hope you like the
picture!
Talk to you soon,
Mike & Trudy

Well, we made it back all in one piece. We drove straight through,
David got off in Frankfort and I headed on to Indianapolis for an all-day
meeting. I survived that part of Friday on Frappucinno !!!
Thanks for the North Carolina brand of Southern Hospitality that you
showed to David and me. We really enjoyed our visit and working our dogs
with you. Keep us posted on your trials...it would be great if we could put
a group together to come down and trial with your club sometime.
We are very happy with Dixie. She made the trip just fine, but
sorta moped around all day Friday. I spent about 2 hours of "quality time"
with her on Saturday, and she really warmed up to me. David and I are very
optimistic about her and think that the trip to your place was well worth
the time and effort.
Thanks again for everything.

First I would like to thank you for Krause. He is the best dog I have ever
had. He has extremely high drives and is always willing to play with me. Me
and Ryan (the trainer) both think this dog has great potential to be an
outstanding German shepherd. Just at fourteen weeks he is hitting the tug,
and everyday that I play with him it seems that his drive just keeps getting
higher and higher.
Everyday he shows me something new that he can do. The thing I like best
about Baysden is that Walter and Patricia are always willing to take the
time to answer any of my questions, and they treat me with respect. Plus
they have the knowledge to back it up. Bottom line this dog is just
outstanding, and I could not be any happier.
Thank you Patricia and Walter for Krause

I will see you guys after Christmas
Once again, I would like to thank you for
breeding such a great puppy! Rock is like no other puppy I have ever
had. He has the most well-mannered temperament that I have ever seen.
I just came home from work and he has yet to leave my side. He is such
a great companion. I took him for his second doctor's appointment the
other day and even the doctor could not believe how much he has grown in
just one month. He commented on how pretty he is and just couldn't get
over what a beautiful coat he has. I told him that Carla and Sirk would
be very proud if they could see their son now! Oh well, I just
wanted to say thanks again. We are loving the heck out of this little
pup.

Ps...As soon as I get settled in to our new
house, we will be in contact with you about obedience classes. Talk to
you soon.
Hi,
I just wanted to let you guys know that Holley is doing great and that we are
very pleased with her.
She is everything we wanted in a dog, she is well behaved (for the most part,
she is still a puppy). We are amazed that she learns so quickly, it took
us only 3 weeks to potty train here.
We found a Schutzhund training here in Orlando, and we think we are going to
try that. Lars has done most of the training with Holley at home, the basics
like Sit, Down, Come and Heel. She is getting close to 6 months and we are
debating about neutering her, but we would like some input, and we really
trust your judgment since everything you told us at the time we picked Holly
up has been true.
What is the benefit and the negative part of spaying?
Would you have any interest in breeding her?
We would greatly appreciate your input and thanks again.
Lars and Ann Sahlen
PS every time we take Holley for a walk people stop and admire her.
Anthony Horseman:
Dear Walter;
Well just an update on Colt.
By the way I like going back to your web site because you are constantly
updating it with new pics and info.
As you know he is in training with Lt. Bob Anderson who is
head of the , Palm Beach Florida K-9 unit and trainer. Colt is a hard ,serious
dog when he is working , and my best friend, who spends all his time by my side.
Colt thinks he is head dog at the class as well as the farm .
Colt has just started tracking work last week , at 5 months old Colt is 48 lb..
Colt is "THE REAL DEAL" " quote from Lt. Bob Anderson) if
anyone is looking for a Schutzhund candidate to go all the way .The " Greif
Zum Lahntal " pedigree was one of the key reasons I wanted Colt. Colt will
have no problem with the protection work and does not back down from anything,
when he talks to you he gets your attention.
Colt has been introduced to all of the farm animals and gets along well with
all, cats ,dogs, cattle, horses, and goats. even the rooster...
Thanks Again;
Tony Horseman
PS .I am looking forward to getting another pup from you this
winter.....besides I think I got the pick of the litter with Colt.......... ( SMILE)
Above: Lee and Christine Smith from East Windsor NJ with their new
pup "Frisa" out of our Venja and Basko litter.
We can't tell you enough how happy we are with the puppy that we purchased
from your kennel. Frisa is such a wonderful dog and has already shown so much
potential. She is very intelligent and focused, relaxed and well behaved in the
house, but ready to play at a moment's notice. We know that she will be a great
working dog.
We were also pleased that we were able to meet both of you and see the other
dogs at your kennel. You have a great love for the dogs and a dedication to
their well being that was wonderful to see. We would not hesitate to recommend
your kennel to others.

John Mitchell:
I had been an owner of GSD's since 1970, of the pet
variety. I lost one of my favorite dogs in the spring of 1999 and
had decided to wait awhile to get another. Around mid-November 1999, I
was searching the web for sources for dysplasia free GSD when I came across
Walt's web page. It sounded like a good source so I e-mailed him.
He emailed back saying a litter was being whelped at
that moment and they were of very good German lines. I sent him a
deposit for one of the two males that day. Later I found out that Walt
had arranged to sell the other male to someone in Florida, but the dame rolled
over and killed one of the two males and a female. Since I had been the
first one to send in my deposit, I got the surviving male.
Since both parents of the pup are Schutzhund
III, I decided to give Schutzhund training a shot, especially since Walt had told
me he did not
think the pup would be satisfied sitting around all day being a pet. BOY
WAS HE RIGHT!
Armin Winkler evaluated the pup at six months and said
he had the natural talent and ability of a Schutzhund dog. He is
sixteen months as of this writing and happily learning the sport of Schutzhund. He has
been seen in the past four months by Floyd Wilson, Sue Birch, Wayne
Simanovich, and Chet Roberts they all seem to think he has what it takes to go
the distance. The only thing holding him back is my inexperience.

To Patti and Walter,
I love both my females I purchased from Baysden
Kennels. They are great with my children and so far temperamentally and
physically sound to do SchH work.
I plan on doing SchH with both of them so far have
great noses for tracking and tremendous ball drives and love rag
work Carla
and Deana were no problem to house train etc
You can view them on my web

Thank you for my girls

Norm Czuchra & Candace Young "
"Our vet told us to pick a German Breed stock over American because of
various problems that had been developing in the breed. Our research took us
to the Baysdens. We visited their kennel and were impressed with the
cleanliness and care Patti & Walter displayed in their operation. We also
picked our puppy from a new litter for later pickup. We are totally satisfied
with Cleo, she is a beautiful dog, full of spirit and very smart. We picked
her as a companion, and at this early point (puppy), we are sure we will be
satisfied for years to come. Norm Czuchra & Candace Young "
Patti,
I am in Atlanta until Monday. Griff is excellent. He is growing like a
weed, he can already sit on command. He is very territorial over his food, and
sleeping area, and has no problem standing up to Jenny, our 7 year old female
if she invades his territory. We take him everywhere we go. He discovered our
gold fish pond, and has been "lounging " in it on these hot days. We have a
creek, and our neighbor has a pond. We took him fishing one day, and he loves
the water. I will email you some pictures as soon as I get a chance to scan
them in. His ears are standing up beautifully, and they overlap right now. We
get compliments everywhere we take him.
Thanks again so much!
Jakob and the Griff playing in the horse trailer. Griff is doing well. He
is really maturing and becoming protective over the children. He is retrieving
well, heels, and loves aggressive play. He will tug on a rope all day. He also
jumps pretty well and does obstacles too.
I have had a hard time keeping him from herding the horses and cows though.
Thought you might like to have a recent pic.

PATTI,
I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU A UPDATE ON GUNNER. I TRIED TO SEND YOU AN
EMAIL A WEEK AGO BUT I LOST IT BEFORE I COULD SEND IT. GUNNER IS DOING JUST
FINE. HE WEIGHED 25 POUNDS AT THE VETS OFFICE AT 11 WEEKS OLD. THE VET WAS
IMPRESSED WITH GUNNER AND SAID TWICE HE DID NOT ACT LIKE MOST GERMAN
SHEPHERDS. HE SAID GUNNER ACCEPTED ME AS HIS PACK LEADER ALREADY AND WAS
IMPRESSED WITH HOW GUNNER LET ME HANDLE HIM. GUNNER WAS JUST SHOWING OFF, HE
SEEMED SO RELAXED AT THE VETS OFFICE. WHEN HE IS READY TO PLAY WATCH OUT ,
HE IS A BALL OF FIRE. HE LOVES HIS KONG AND ROPE TOY THE MOST. HE LOVES TO
POUNCE ON A MOVING SHADOW AND HE LIKES TO JUMP OFF OF STEPS ,I HAVE TO WATCH
HIM CLOSE BECAUSE SOMETIMES HE ACTS LIKE HE IS GOING TO JUMP OFF 4 FEET
ABOVE THE GROUND. MY DALMATIAN LOVES GUNNER AND LETS GUNNER BITE HER ALL
OVER. SHE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND ACTS LIKE A YOUNG DOG AGAIN SINCE WE GOT
GUNNER. HE IS HOUSE TRAINED NOW AND GOES ALL NIGHT WITH OUT GOING OUTSIDE.
GUNNER WILL SIT ON COMMAND AND DOES NOT SEEM TO MIND WALKING ON THE LEASH.
HE LOOKS FORWARD TO HIS DAILY GROOMING AS LONG AS HE HAS SOMETHING TO CHEW
ON. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND TO KEEP DOG ODOR AT A MINIMUM? I WILL SEND YOU A
PICTURE OF GUNNER SOON, HE IS GOING TO BE A HANDSOME FELLOW I THINK. TALK TO
YOU LATER.
