Liesje, Mary shipped Keefer to me, and I believe Carla's dogs were shipped too. We flew up there to pick up Dena because I wanted to meet Mary and the dam Teela. My hubby has family in the area, so we rented a car in Portland, spent the night at his aunt & uncle's house, and then drove Dena home the next morning.
Dena & Keefer are fabulous companions! Keefer has much higher drive than his half sister, who is very calm and laid back, well unless you've got a ball, and then she's obsessed, lol! He's a Triumph's Gucci grandson, a German showline dog well known for his working character. He's extremely energetic, ridiculously happy all the time, and very outgoing and confident. They both have an off switch and are great around the house. They LOVE people, not an aloof bone in their bodies, and they get along great with other dogs too, very social. We take them everywhere we can - you can see some pictures of the off leash parks we go to every weekend on the recent dog park thread, and I posted some pics of our trip up to Medocino with them a couple of weeks ago on gs.com.
I'm totally happy with them, the best dogs either of us have ever had, (hubby grew up with shepherds), exactly what we wanted and more. NO "issues"! But there are some things you should know if you're considering a TeMar dog, you can PM me or KathyW on gs.com, and Carla may have some comments too.
