Echo Ridge Owners

A Letter to Echo Ridge Owners...

People often ask how we as breeders can "stand" sending our puppies off to new homes. Honestly, that is our favorite part. Putting one of our beloved puppies into the arms of their new family is a special moment. Each of our puppies are raised with the same love and experiences, whatever future they are destined for with their owners. We look forward to receiving regular updates from each family about how their puppies are doing in their home, and their accomplishments. We ask owners to keep their puppies engaged and work with them to busy their minds. That often turns into these dogs and owners trying performance and conformation events. We may give the puppies their initial foundation, but you, the owners, have shown true dedication and partnership with your Pyr Sheps and deserve recognition for their accomplishments. To all Echo Ridge owners, thank you for loving our puppies and the Pyrenean Shepherd breed. Thank you for helping our dreams come true.
-Donald and Stephanie Schneider (and the kids too!)
