Mrs. Marlene:

I just thought I would write to let you know Kash is 8 months old now and we have found a Schutzhund Club about 90 miles from our house. We have been going since September 2007 and he has progressed greatly. EVERYWHERE we go EVERYONE always comments on his sound nerves, calm demeanor, and intense drive. You could not image a more well rounded dog. His attentiveness makes obedience very easy, his tracking came completely natural, and his bitework is impeccable. A Schutzhund judge recently commented that with the proper development he will be a VERY HIGH scoring GSD. I could not be more proud of him and I truly believe I could not find a better dog anywhere in the U.S. Thank you so much for your help in choosing the right puppy. He is PERFECT. I will send you more pictures and pictures of him working in the near future. I'm sure you will be getting more phone calls from Texas and Louisiana from me meeting people and recommending your Kennel. Everyone always wants to know his lineage and breeder kennel. Please stay in touch. I hope in the later future when I am ready for a new GSD your dogs will still be available. Keep up the excellent breeding.

Sincerely,

Kevin Giles and Kash Price vom Alk

Max

Hello Marlene,

I wanted to write this email thanking you for all your help and assistance with my new Zidane/Daggi puppy. I could not be any happier with him unless I had the great Zidane himself but I would not have the fun of training him from puppyhood. He is everything that you described him to be and a little bit more. Max is very confident in all situations and his drives are outstanding with a full natural hard, calm grip that handlers and helpers strive for. You said he is a special puppy and I believe that also. Max's focus, drives, grips and confidence are a joy to see. Although you have known me for only a short period of time I appreciate you have the confidence in me to own a very good sport prospect as Maximus. Your knowledge, experience and keen eye for detail in the working breed is outstanding and will only benefit the working breed and Schutzhund sport. It was a pleasure talking with you about dogs, training techniques and Schutzhund. During our conversations I can tell that you are very passionate about your dogs and breeding program and you only want the best for each and every puppy. I plan on keeping in touch with you giving you updates on Max’s training and development. I fully recommend Alabama K9 to any handler looking for a working sport dog.

See you on the podium,

Robert and Maximus Meridius Vom Alk

Debber

Marlene,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for all your help and guidance in the selection of my puppy. Living in Brazil, I made the decision to import

a working line German Shepherd pup from the USA. After having spoken to many kennels and breeders, I found in you a true professional who was fully committed to the working line dog as a well as a person of utmost integrity. Today, I am the proud owner of Debber, a Belgian import who in the short time I know him, is an impeccable dog with a superb temperament and superior intelligence. Even though being nearly 5000 miles apart, you have provided me with total support and assistance from day one, when we first spoke to the moment he arrived here and up through today when I need your advice. For anyone looking for a top of the working line German Shepherd dog, regardless of where you live, I highly recommend Marlene Wiggins to assist you in your selection of this wonderful breed.

Hello Marlene,

Thanks for your e-mail requesting me to look for a good female GSD with good temperament and working lines that would be compatible with your kennel. I checked your website and must congratulate you on the choice of your dogs! THIS IS REALLY THE GOOD STUFF!!!!

I have excellent connections in Belgium and Germany and have already made a few phone calls to people that can be trusted and who only have working lines. Of course, finding a good female GSD is not easy and takes some time. You also want the female to be bred before shipping, but this is no problem. I will look for an excellent male, but here again, this should be no problem.

I will let you know as soon as I found a suitable female for you and will then e-mail the pedigree and some pictures to you.

Yours in the Sport.

Sable

MY WIFE AND I DROVE DOWN TO ALABAMA MARCH 10, 2004, TO PICK UP OUR SABLE MALE PUP. WE LEFT WITH A BEAUTIFUL SIX WEEK OLD FEMALE. I HAVE HAD DIFFERENT BREEDS OF DOGS ALL MY LIFE. I RAISED SHOWED, TRAINED, AND FIELD TRIALED GERMAN SHORT HAIRS FOR 17 YEARS. MY HEALTH CAUSED ME TO QUIT. I TRAINED GERMAN SHEPHERDS FOR THE SHERIFFS' DEPT. I WAS WITH THE K-9 UNTIL THEY OPTED FOR A HELICOPTER. THEY FINALLY GOT SMART AND HAVE BOTH.

I THOUGHT THOSE DOGS WERE SMART. THIS LITTLE PUP (SABLE) IS SHOWING MORE NOW THAN THOSE DOGS SHOWED AS ADULTS. I'VE OWNED FOUR GERMAN SHEPHERDS IN MY LIFE. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST AS I AM EXTREMELY ILL. I COULD TELL YOU A LOT OF LITTLE CUTE THINGS BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

THIS PUP HAS FANTASTIC LINES, ALL GERMAN NOT AMERICAN. YES THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF GERMAN SHEPHERDS. AMERICA HAS WRECKED ALMOST EVERY WORKING BREED FOR SHOW ONLY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR JUST A GOOD DOG YOU CAN FIND THEM ALL OVER. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT DOG YOU NEED TO VISIT ALABAMA K-9 KENNELS.

Sable is owned by William Corey 450 Dennis Latham Rpad, Beech Bluff, Tennesse

Marlene,

I hope I will be able to convey how much we appreciate you and all of your help in selecting our puppy. My husband and I are amazed of the personal yet professional care you gave us. Being in Nevada it was also comforting to learn that you are a person of integrity and that is how you operate your kennel.

Because Alabama K9 has great Working German Shepherd dogs, (not American or show), with fantastic lines, we had complete confidence in the quality of dog we would receive. Our puppy is everything you said it would be; confident, stable and intelligent. With training, we believe she has the ability to go as far as we are willing to take her.

Besides all these wonderful attributes, mostly we are in awe of your passion for what you do. You have displayed genuine love and care for your dogs and puppies.

Thank you for your dedication to the working German Shepherd Dog.

Thank you Marlene for our wonderful dog and all you do.

Mrs. Wiggins (Alabama K9),

After losing our shepherd to cancer, our vet recommended your kennel to us. He praised you, your knowledge of the breed, and your obedient, healthy dogs.

Upon calling you, I found a true professional, warm, and concerned about to whom her puppies might be going. I appreciated you asking about me as I asked about your puppies. It was important to me to know that you cared what kind of person might own a puppy from your kennel.

As the months have passed and we have experienced our first working shepherd, I appreciate you calling to check on him. I appreciate your willingness to work with us in puppy class and the many helpful suggestions you offered.

We check your site often and are always pleased to see new pictures posted, especially of our Slade. He is a wonderful puppy.

Thank you,

C. Norris
