MY GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT TO ALL.----------------------------------I am providing to you the best possible dogs with the BEST possible replacement warranty, available from Czech rep. and border patrol breeders.I am originally from Czech rep. and I know these people/my friends sometimes for decades and often since I was a teenager. I was the first who ever imported Czech dogs anywhere. We smuggled these excellent dogs in trunks of the cars across the communist border, long time before anybody amongst dog enthusiast is Western free world knew that such dogsin obscured country behind iron curtain even exist. I, with some help from friend Melanie Drew, also did pushed through the registrability with AKC. Until that time Czech border patrol and police dogs were not registrable with AKC.For these reasons; the friendship and respect, I have in Czech and Slovak republic, I am getting the best dogs from there. I get my best pick, I get truthful answers to my questions and since we speak the same language the communication is easy. My friends will travel long distances to different out posts to test and research dogs for me and nobody else. I always get the best dogs for sale from them for the best available price. If they research such dog for me and it is not perfect for me or does not fit my rigid requirements then they may offer such dog in other markets. For that reason I am asking my clients who are asking me to locate specific dog, to give me a chance, before they research other breeders. It just does not seems fair to chase my friends to do research on specific dog, for someone who is just "kickingtires".Now if you give me a chance then I promise that I will always get you the best possible dog or pup for the best possible price with best possible replacement warranty and with best possible service even after you receive such dog from me. My commitment to you does not end with delivery of the dog to you. It just begins! Sincerely Hans

Naming of the Dog - September 11, 2010 In Europe it is customary that the breeder names the pup. Every litter has the letter from which the name of the dog starts and then comes the name of the breeding kennel. This is important to a breeder like me for organizational and recognition reasons. Thus I firmly believe that the breeder should name the dog. Here in USA AKC gives the right to name the dog to the dog's new owner. That leads to problems because people omit to use the kennel name and or start the name with the wrong letter of particular litter. This could be remedied by me registering the pup by me ( as the first owner) at first in my name and then I can give the name to the dog and then transfer the dog with such name onto you. However I can just bypass that step by asking the new owner to email us the name which they prefer and which is starting form particular litter letter which we will provide you up on request. However if we do not receive the name of the dog from you then we provide our own name. I just want to make sure, and all we really care about, is that the name starts from the particular letter and has "z AlpineK9" there on the end. I would also like to add that majority of dogs in Europe have official name (given by the breeder) and call name (given by the owner). Here is an example of my personal dog "Haio" which was named Fram z Jirkova dvora by the breeder and then named Haio by me. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/pedigree/669676.html
