Good morning Barbara,
Havyn is WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much. She is sweet , friendly and very social. All the people at the airport also thought she was quite beautiful. Had just a little of a rough night, not much sleep, but otherwise very good.
And the whole proccess at the airport was very easy and all the people we worked with were very friendly. You were right, I didn't need to worry.
I will keep it touch and send some pictures for you.
Thank again
Kris Meier
Barbara,
I wanted to write and tell you how thankful we are for our little pup Otto (formerly
Genius). He is absolutely gorgeous and healthy, and we get compliments on him
daily. Otto joined our family Great Dane, a 2 year-old harlequin, and they instantly
became best friends.
Otto was our first international puppy, so we were naturally a bit nervous about
the whole process. From our initial communication about him to the day he arrived
in Indianapolis, you made the entire experience so easy for us. PetAir Germany
was fantastic, and he arrived in perfect shape and very happy to see us. PetAir
even connected us with an excellent U.S. broker, who was just as helpful and
thorough.
Otto is doing tremendously. He has a comedic personality, and is extremely intelligent.
He’s a quick learner and we’ve already begun obedience training
with him. He is great on a leash. He loves other dogs, people, and especially
little kids. We could not be happier.
Although this was our first international puppy, it definitely won’t be
our last from your kennel. He’s such a great example of the breed. Thanks
again, and we’ll send you photos soon.
Best wishes,
Dan
I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much we love Baccio (we call him Gunnar). I think my father sent you some pictures of him a while back. He is just the most wonderful dog!! He has the greatest temperament and he is beautiful. At the dog park everyone adores him! You can see the difference from his wonderful upbringing and diet. We have all our dogs on a barf diet and they are all so healthy.
Thank you so much for producing such wonderful dogs!!!
Regards,
Nicole E.
Just wanted to let you know that Gunner (Daron) is doing fantastic and we can't
thank you enough for such an amazing dog. He gets compliments all the time!
Also, we received his paperwork today. Thank you. I will send more pictures
hopefully next week!

Barbara,
I just wanted to give you an update on Bismarck, everything went great picking him up and he is a happy, healthy, very energetic puppy. He is doing consistently better every day with crate training and behavior commands though his favorite activity seems to be jumping like a tiger from the couch to his favorite toy on the ground below. I will forward some pictures of him to you in the next few days, he has certainly brought a spark to the house and I couldn’t be happier with him. I just wanted to thank you again for all your help!
Thanks Dan Sharpless
Dear Barbara,
Just to let you know that ''BESS'' has arrived safely in Portugal and is very
happy with her new family and home.
Our 4 other dogs were introduced to her one at a time and they have accepted
her straight away!
She loves going around the garden exploring and is careful about the swimming
pool.
''BESS'' is a very clever girl - telling us when she wants to go outside and
my husband has fallen in love with her!
Thank you for all your help and for producing such a lovely dog.
I will be in touch with updates on her growth etc.
Kind regards,
Pia
Just Dropping a quick note to let everyone know my experience with Barbara.
Barbara has been very professional, punctual and honest.
I am a Great Dane Breeder in the USA and have to say all her pups are well maintained and socialized.
I highly recommend her in every way . If you are looking to import you can call or e mail me any time I be more than happy to help out.
Thank you again for such a sweet dog Barbara.
Alexandra Thompson from PoeHillDanes .
As I said before, I am a novice in your great dane world; and I truly feel fortunate to have found you on our 'maiden voyage'! We are so happy with our puppy and relieved that the whole process went so smoothly.
Again, thank you for being so promp in returning my emails and answering all my questions. We were just floored every time you sent us a new picture to help ease our minds. You must truly love your danes to go the extra effort for us like you did.
One more thing, I would like to add in that you are so right about PetAir! They were fantastic. Once I was confident that you were the breeder for us, I became very anxious about flying our puppy overseas. PetAir was equally sensetive about responding quickly and answering all my questions. They referred me to a wonderful customs broker, and even got her to us 2 hours early! She was in great shape and well taken care of.
I would like to 'pay it forward' and offer my experience to anyone you may have that needs advice, like those who were so kind to me when I was in limbo. Please feel free to give my email to anyone you may have....

Annette:
I am very pleased with the puppies I purchased from Barbara and everything about the 6 month period leading up to their selection. Barbara is terrific.
The male, Auggie, was first pick of the litter, and has been perfect from the start. He is very impressive looking and has a very mellow personality, which I prefer. I also purchased a female, Annie, from a separate litter, as a companion dog. She has been more of a challenge. She had a urinary tract infection the first couple weeks, probably due to the long plane ride from Germany, and was not house breaking very well. Some antibiotics cleared that up quickly, and she is going much better. Barbara was very supportive as I worked through those challenges with Annie.
I did visit Barbara’s kennel in Langen Germany, and was very impressed with the entire facility. It was immaculate, and her dogs looked great. I stopped there at the beginning of my 3 week trip to Germany and at the end, before I flew out from Frankfurt. It was one of the highlights of the trip. Barbara is very gracious.
Working through Barbara and Pet Air in Frankfurt was very simple, regarding the shipment. It worked without a hitch. The only bad part is how the puppies look after all those hours in transit. Needless to say, I had a big cleanup job to do on the crate and the puppies before we could drive home. Be prepared. Bring jugs of water, dog shampoo, lots of towels, etc. to clean up the crate and the puppy. I had to do that without a hose, since Lufthansa cargo in LA really doesn’t have any facilities for that purpose.
I search for a photo and send it to you.
Lots of good luck.
Best,
Rick

Dear Barbara,
As I am sitting at my desk your puppy “RUME” which we have named “Scooby-Doo” is laying so peacefully next to me. Your breeding is so wonderful and the type of dogs that you produce are amazing. I can honestly say being a true boxer lover you have changed me to be infatuated with Great Danes. He is wonderful with my 2 sons whom are 3 and 4, and my oldest dog Danny which is 6. I just love him and you did such a great job with him. The process was easy and I loved the fact that you kept sending me pictures. I felt as though I bonded with him through photos. I am also a blonde so at first I thought he just loved me because he thought I was you. Well Done Barbara!!!!
Fondly,

Barbara,
Thank you so much for helping us with our new addition to our family! Halo (AKA
"Rubby") is even more beautiful in person! We are so happy with her,
she has the best temperament and is pretty much already house trained and we
haven't even had her a week! She loves the kids just as much as they love her.
The transportation of her from Germany to the US went very smoothly and there
were no problems with customs at the airport. We couldn't ask for a better pet
or breeder!
Thanks again so very much for all of your help!!

Hi Barbara,
i do not know how you would like me to proced but i will just get down to it.
"I was impressed with help i got when i was interested in purchasing a
Great Dane from barbara, i beleive the experience she has just manifests itself
because in JASON, i have what i have been looking for, the Size, the Temperament
and the general behaviour.
He is such an adorable boy that its hard spending time away from him.
However, what most impressed me was the constant attention and emails i got
from Barbara to ensure that JASON settled in well and was well taken care of.
For that am greatfu and i look forward to the time when i will go back to Barbara
and pick another DANE from her" YOU ARE THE BEST

We are so very happy with our harlequin male "Quieno" from Barbara Mosch-Schlosser! We have named him "Zeus" and he is truly a king of the gods! My husband is so pleased because he finally has a puppy with whom he is totally in love! Zeus travels with my husband and is very well mannered: a true gentleman. Zeus bonded with our family immediately and is the most gentle and affectionate puppy. We will be back soon to purchase another puppy (as soon as we move) because we are so very happy with the entire transaction. We thought that it would be difficult to import a puppy from Germany. Everything was above board and spelled out for us in advance. The difficult part was waiting for him to be old enough to send by air. He is beautiful and certain to do very well in the show ring. My daughter plans on showing him herself in Conformation and expects wonderful results. We are so very pleased! Thank you again, Barbara!

Hi Barbara,
Thank you for all of your help with picking out Renata. She has a wonderful
personality just as I wished for and is wonderful with all of the rest of my
animals, the cats too!
Your transaction was simple and easy and I really received her much sooner then
I expected!
Thank you for everything, we'll send photos as she grows.

Barbara's Kennel is one of the finest in all of Europe. The extensive knowledge
and understanding they have in breeding is evident and clearly shown in the
quality of each Great Dane. It has been a great pleasure and delight to work
with such a person of high quality and integrity. We are grateful for the opportunity
to have purchased many of their strong, hearty and very healthy Great Danes.
The quality breeding in the "von Schlesien" Kennel is distinctly unique
and admirable, as it is done with great passion. All our best and to more continued
successes in breeding!

Hi Barbara,
I am very happy with Pino, the male mantle that I purchased from you. In one
day,he is walking on a leash, cries when he has to go out, sits on command,
and goes to the bathroom on command. In fact this morning (Friday), he picked
up his leash and brought it to me to go out!!!! He is extremely bright and very,
very lovable. I am very pleased with him, since I will be training Pino for
the breed ring,the obedience ring, and also do therapy work with kids that have
terminal cancer.
Thank you again, so much, and please let me know when you send the paperwork.
Also, keep me in mind for those harles. It is so satisfying to deal with such
a reputable breeder.
Talk to you soon.

Ma'am, after spending many many years and months searching for an excellent quality euro style harlequin dane pup, I found
Barbara in Germany with Von Schleslein Great Danes. I was extremely pleased with my choice of pup and her character and personality.
She arrived exactly like she was supposed to with no troubles at all. Barbara was extremely helpful and curtious throughout the whole
thing. Knowing many others with Barbaras danes made me feel much more at ease with everything too. My puppy is gorgeous and
my son and I love her. She will be a part of a great life with us from now on. Thanks so very much Barbara for letting me bring home this
wonderful pup. Keep up the nice work and we look forward to keeping in touch with you with pictures and such.
Sincerely,
Lisa Medellin

Dear Kimberley,
My name is D. Anderson Geddes I am writing you to comply with your request for
Canadian References for Barabara's German imports. I guess the best reference
I could give you is my website http://www.familygreatdanes.com/
I am so impressed with Barbara's Kennel that I have asked her to provide her
Great Danes bloodlines for breeding into my Danes bloodlines and that process
is under way. Now before I asked Barbara for champion bloodline breeding stock,
I researched the pedigree's of all of her stock. I then researched the pedigree's
of her Danes ancestors. What I found was the absolute best intersection of champion
bloodlines connecting from various kennels present in the show circles, backward
in time five generations or more. By connecting with Barabara I was able to
interconnect with the best bloodlines in Germany right now with an established
history of champion bloodlines. My occupation is a legal professional, you can
call me at Napal Law Chambers 905 452-0348 and discuss this further because
I have authentic documents from the German Great Dane Kennel Club written in
German which support my research.
I am proud to carry Barbara's Danes in my line up and I will be introducing
her lines into a CKC kennel "the loyalheart kennel" lines during 2008
to enhance the loyalheart bloodline here in Ontario Canada.
If you would like to speak with the Loyalheart Kennel here in Ontario, or me
we would both be happy to answer any questions you have.
Kind Regards,
D. Anderson Geddes
Barbara........
We would like to thank you for being so accommodating throughout the three months
of anxiously waiting for Desiels arrival ............. . Purchasing a puppy
from a foreign country was surprisingly quite simple, thanks to your assistance,
including flight plans, payment, shots, as well as clearance......... . Your
prompt action regarding our request for photos during the waiting period will
help piece together a complete photo album for Desiel....... . What really impressed
us the most was you informing us Desiels mother rolled over him and broke three
ribs and giving us the option for a refund ......... . How could we of known
had you not mentioned it ....... . You not only care about your animals but
also your Buyers as we applaud you in wishing continued success with your breeding
....... .
Needless to say we are quite satisfied with our decision in selecting your kennel
as Desiel is a fine puppy ............... .
