I have never have kept any of the many nice comments from my people.  I always hoped that they were happy since they kept coming back for new dogs.  I have always done my very best to make sure those who purchase a puppy or dog from me are very satisifed.

Ca-Ji Shepherds has provided working dogs and companions for people in the following states: Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, California, Utah, Nevada, Texas, Missouri, New York, Mississippi, Alaska, and Louisiana.  A number of my puppies and dogs have been sold to homes in Canada.

One of my most recent puppy purchasers has this to say about Ca-Ji Shepherds.

"I first met Carol Veitenheimer in 1979 when I was looking for a German Shepherd puppy from German lines that embodied the soundness in mind and body that I desired. A friend had suggested contacting Ca-Ji Shepherds, which I did, and after a very friendly conversation with Carol, I received pedigrees and photos on the two breedings I was interested in.

Subsequently, I went to Colbert, Washington, and had the opportunity to survey Ca-Ji's kennels and dogs. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities and appreciative of the obvious concern that Carol had for both the welfare of the puppies and dogs and my satisfaction with my purchase. I chose a puppy sired by Bravado and a few weeks later, he arrived. I named him Keno and he was everything I had hoped for. I went back to Ca-Ji for another male and a female during the next few years.

After graduating from college in the early 90s, I started my own business and finally was once again in a position to have a German Shepherd. I took a chance and called Carol to see if she was still breeding German Shepherds. I was tickled to find out that she was and I reserved a male puppy from the breeding of Dirk and Rachel because Rachel's sire goes back to Carol's old lines. In November of last year, Sako arrived here in Montana and is an excellent example of the quality I had come to expect from Ca-Ji Shepherds. He's now coming seven months old and I'm busy building agility equipment so that the two of us can enjoy working together. If you are looking for overall soundness, high trainability and intelligence, and top-notch companionship, call Carol. You'll be glad you did.
