Hi Jackie you will be glad to know the bitch pup you sold me is now an outstanding dog with an excellent temperament. She is great with the kids and watchful around the house just like you said she would be. She is exemplary of the breed and noticed by all. I have toured all of the country and have yet to see better dogs and pups. Keep up the good work

Kieran

Thank you so much for calling me back today, after my recent e-mail enquiry.

I would like to compliment you on the beautiful website with all the lovely photos of your family (including all your gorgeous fur babies!). It was really lovely to speak with Jackie, who is such a lovey lady and is obviously very passionate about her dogs.

I am in no doubt, after speaking with Jackie and looking & speaking to other breeders, that this is where we would love our future dog to come from.

I love that the dogs are a member of the family and not just kept in cages (I have been to other dog breeders and know that some dogs are not kept in very good conditions at all).

I will stay in touch and be checking back regularly for some new photos and I look forward to next year. Lots! Thank you, once again.

Kindest Regards

Chris Black from Hampshire

i just want to compliment you on you gorgeous dogs and passion for them. i hope in the future to be getting my own GSD from you, had 2 growing up and have never had a better friend than those dogs.

Hi Jackie
Just wanted to congratulate you and your family on the new litter of beautiful puppys – it must be such a joy each time! Looking forward to getting our house finished, and being able to finally come to you for my much longed for gsd 🙂

Dear Jackie
I just wanted to thank you for making Peggy and I feel so welcome when we visited you on Saturday. It was lovely to meet you and your wonderful pack of shepherds they are an absolute credit to you. You are a true advocate for the breed Jackie, so passionate about ensuring that your dogs have super temperament and sound physiology. It was great to see so many shepherds with straight flat backs! They are all stunning.
We feel very privileged that we are going to be welcoming one of Storm and Troy’s puppies in to our family soon. We can’t wait for Roy to get here!
I would not hesitate in recommending you to others who are looking to find a shepherd to join their family. I hope you continue your work with this breed for many years to come. Many GSD breeders out there could learn so much from you.
Kind regards
Melissa

thank you jacki, beautiful pup, thanks to lenny for his excellent courrier service, jack Russel took well to the pup its bigger than the jack russel, once again jackie thank you , kind regards michael

OMG where do I start. I spent well over a year looking for a GSD breeder who was producing good sound dogs with excellent temperaments, but who also agreed with me, that GSDs should be large and have straight backs like those up until the 1980’s. I had all but given up my search when I chanced upon Alsace Royale German Shepherds, and finally, there they were, my dream dogs with looks to die for and some of the best hip scores I had seen during my search. An email to the breeder, Jackie resulted in a callback (don’t expect a quick call, the woman can talk the hind legs off a donkey, but then that’s how passionate she is about her dogs and I fully appreciated that she was sussing me out just as much as I was her). Anyway, a litter of Storm x Troy puppies was expected within the next few weeks and from our chat, I knew that I had to have one of those puppies and asked Jackie to put my name on the waiting list. In the meantime, I also signed up to the dedicated facebook page where there was lots of beautiful pictures of Alsace Royale German Shepherds posted by their new Mummys and Daddys and the page also posted updated information on the current litter at any given time.
3rd of March saw the arrival of Storm’s puppies and the next day, I called Jackie to find out as much as I could about those little fluff bundles. It was a big litter, 12 puppies in total and they, along with mum, were all doing well. I wanted a black and tan male puppy and Jackie confirmed that there was 3 out of 5 males that were black and tan, so I did not hesitate and told Jackie that my deposit cheque would be posted that day to reserve my puppy. Now all I had to do was wait whilst Storm, then Jackie bought the puppies on. Poor Jackie must have been well fed-up with me as I did phone and txt rather a lot for updates and to arrange a visit, but Jackie was great and didn’t mind a bit ( at least, that’s what she said, lol ).
I visited Jackie along with my friend and young daughter when the puppies were 7 1/2 weeks old and OMG again, I was so glad that I made the effort. What a sight to behold when we pulled up at Jackie’s, lots of lovely big (and I mean BIG), straight backed GSDs. They were naturally aloof when we arrived, but my, when they came to greet us, what a welcome we got, ever so friendly and very obedient, plus they obviously adored Jackie. It goes without saying that I was there to pick my puppy and what a tough decision I had on my hands as they were all just so adorable, it was just a good job that the choice was narrowed to 3 puppies by me specifying a male black and tan, but even then it was difficult. Jackie was very patient whilst I deliberated on my choice following a welcome cuppa and slice of homemade cake and of course, a lengthy chat on GSDs, what better topic. My chosen puppy was collared to distinguish him from the other 2 black and tan males and all too soon, it was sadly time for us to go, but I knew that he was in safe and experienced hands. I txtd Jackie that evening, thanking her again for having us to her home and making us so welcome.
2 1/2 weeks later, Jackie called to say my pup was was good to go having received his final vaccination and being vet checked. Jackie had put me in touch with her canine courier and after many calls between Jackie, the courier and myself, it was arranged that my puppy would arrive on the 15th May. Needless to say, I had been extremely nervous at the thought of using a courier, but I thoroughly researched the courier Jackie used and was satisfied that it was a professional service and not just some Jack the Lad types out to make a quick buck.
Anyways, on the 15th May, after arriving mega early at our meeting point, I was finally reunited with my wee puppy who arrived safe and well thanks to the expertise of the canine couriers. I let Jackie know that my puppy had arrived and was none the worse for his travels, albeit a bit tired.
Well, a few days on, and Storm, as I have called my puppy, has settled well, he is respectful of the cats, most of the time, lol. He is friendly with everyone he meets, old, young, male and female alike and is also confident in meeting other dogs. For one so young, he walks remarkably well on the lead, although obviously we don’t go far and he is picking up the toilet training very well. This is all testamount to the effort that Jackie puts into all her dogs and puppies. I could go on for ever singing the praises of Alsace Royale German Shepherds but as you now all know, wee Storm is here and his new mummy needs another cuddle from him. My advice to anyone thinking about getting a GSD puppy, go no further than an Alsace Royale German Shepherd puppy, you will not be disappointed.
Jackie, I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to become Storm’s new mummy, you have done him and the breed proud, long may you continue bringing the GSD breed back to what it once was and is again in your dogs.
Also, a big thank you to Lenny and Aiden, the ca

Dear Jackie, I’m having a few quiet moments while our beautiful pup “Buzz” (as in Buzz Lightyear) has a nap. He arrived yesterday and for anyone following Jackie’s website he is a perfect example of how a pup should be socialised….he’s calm, very loving, confident in his new surroundings and with my older bitch Cara. He’s curious about our cat Lucy but very respectful. He was transported from Ireland to Scotland by the very professional Lenny and Aiden. Their “Dogs in Transit” van was immaculate. There were no bad smells when the van door was opened and the puppy had plenty of room to move about. The fact that the puppy was as calm as he was is a testement to the care that Lenny and Aiden take with each and every dog they transport and I would not hesitate recommend them to anyone, apart from the fact that the guys are realy nice. I was also amazed at how inexpensive their service was. I did some comparisons on line for similar services and the cost was far, far more expensive.
Back to Buzz. He’s so smart and quick on the uptake that he’ll be house trained in no time. What a joy he is. In the days to come I’ll email ‘photos of him to let you see how he’s doing.
Thank you so much for our darling boy.

Hi Jackie
Thank you for our lovely puppy, Bear (Sable boy from Troy and Storm litter March 2013). He arrived safely via Lenny’s excellent courier service. He is settling in and we are trying to convince him and the cats that they should all be friends.
Thank you again for a very beautiful puppy.
Sonia and Robert

Hi Jackie, I just want to thank you for the hospitality you and your family extended to us on our visit on Sat. To cap it all the boys are ecstatic about meeting Troy’s gang and they have been talking about nothing else, except their puppy of course. I have printed off loads of photos that Kieran took and he has been showing them to all his friends. We were very taken by your dogs and on seeing them in the flesh and their presence when viewed, exceeded the pictures on your website as the quality of your puppies can justify. The affection and obedience displayed by your dogs are a credit to you and your family and the breed in general. We look forward to returning to collect Kieran and Brandon`s puppy soon when he will travel to a country where he will be known as a “dug” and loved as a dug should be with all the love and affection poured upon him that we can give him. C u soon. Frank, Marion, Kieran and Brandon.

Hi Jackie, thank you so much for the privilege of owning one of your puppies. I picked him up from Lenny and Aiden’s wonderful k9 courier service at our pre-arranged rendezvous. I was so impressed by their professional service.
I have waited around 25 years after losing our German Shepherd called Ben. I never thought I could ever replace him, but when I saw your gogs on your website, I had to come over and see them.
As I told you, I was determined to get a wee Black and Tan, but when this little red headed sable accosted me from the word go, I knew right away who was coming to Scotland.
It is amazing how he has fitted in, a confident, assured pup not afraid of anything. It has only been 2 days, but he hasn’t messed or pee-ed in the house once, always asking to get outside to do it.
Our walks always take 3 times longer than they should because everybody stops us to admire him.
He is an awesome puppy, and will grow into an awesome dog. I am so glad I found your website and would thoroughly recommend your dogs to any and all. Thank you so much for breeding proper German Shepherds, I had almost given up looking for one. Thank you Jackie for all the advice and info along the way. I will keep you posted on how Max is progressing. Thanks again, John (and Max).

Jackie words cannot express how thrilled we are with our little lady Kiki. She is simply stunning and a joy to be owned by! She has settled with sprocket our other dog very well and is alternating between sleeping and playing. Can’t wait to watch her grow and mature. Thanks for all your hard work in providing such healthy strong balanced pups

Thanks again Jackie for all the advice. Hugo is such a happy dog now that we sorted out the nipping at the hands. A rolled up magazine and a few smacks on the nose and he’s a completely different dog. He’s calmer and happy that he knows his place in the family. He ie so patient and gentle with our 18 month old and just loves following her around the house. At just over 7 months now you could forget he’s still a pup he’s so confident. He’s a joy to have around. Thanks again Jackie it’s great to know you have someone at the end of the phone that remains interested in her pups even after they have left the litter.

Dear Jackie
It has been great chatting with you, over the past year ,your knowledge on this wonderful breed really is fantastic.
The support you offer while deciding on a dog really is great, I truly wouldn’t want to get my puppy from anybody else. I am a little sad that I am able to travel over to choose my puppy, however I trust your judgement and Know you will give me a puppy that will be just right for my family.When buying a shepherd and you have young children, it is imperative that the dogs nature will be Gentle, Loyal yet protective. I have done much research this past year, looking at breeders and the breed its self, and I have’n”t been able to find anyone else with not only the support you offer for life, but dogs with a temperament that I would want around my children, also the added bonus that your dogs are pretty good looking.
I am counting down the days until our new baby girl is ready to come to her new home. She is from Troy and Princess Alisa”s new litter, and if she is anything like her mum and dad ill be happy.
