Jennifer Clark (Maryland) -- Missa made my first time dog owning experience great amazing wonderful and joyful. 3 and a half years ago my husband and I wanted a dog. We looked high and low for one. One day we went into a pet store and found our breed we wanted. That night I searched for a breeder and found Missa. Charlie has been the best dog a first time owner can want. He was very well adjusted to kids, people and his environment. Best choice I made was going to her as a breeder. Thank you again Missa :)
Amy Schweers (Wayne, NE) -- I have one of Missa's pups and she is an amazing dog! You will be so thrilled with the care they are given!
Seth Kirshman (Omaha, NE) -- Since my son was two years old he's wanted a German Sheppard puppy for his birthday, so we decided that for his 13th birthday this year to grant that wish as he is now mature enough to help care for and nourish a puppy. I happened to see Missa's post on facebook and reached out to her immediately as we are old friends and I definitely felt better about trusting some one I know. Our puppy was born around 9 p.m. the night before Valentine's day, so he is about 3 1/2 months right now and I can tell you without hesitation that he is the best dog I've ever had. He's as smart as a whip, gentle, devoted and fantastic with the kids. I believe bloodline is everything and we never did get to meet Kenzo but his pictures are pretty telling as one of my clients owns and operates K9 services and he explained to me in great detail what to look for physically and had bought German Sheppards from Germany as well. We did get to meet Claramond, and had I of had any question before, they would have been laid to rest within minutes. She was a beautiful female and very well trained and devoted. The Waldo's were very welcoming and I am relieved that we didn't break their daughters heart too bad when we left with our new puppy. All the paperwork and initial vet info was waiting for us in a folder along with a beautiful collar that Missa made for him. Couldn't be more pleased and am happy to write this referral anytime! Thanks again!
Kristen Creeger (Curtis, MI) -- I received my GSD from Missa and she has turned out too be a very smart and beautiful pup. Great markings just wonderful. Missa has really done a great job with her pups she spends time with them and shows all the pups that love they need before they go to there new homes. I have been very pleased with my puppy ty so much
Clare Quandt (Stromsburg, NE) -- After we lost our dog of 13 years, we knew our home was not complete without a dog to share it with. Years ago, before we had a family, I owned several GSDs, raised several litters, and showed in obedience trials and confirmation. The obvious choice for me was to return to the GSD breed.
After involvement in the breed, I was very discriminatory on type and breeding. I wanted the best in temperament, soundness in mind and body, and beauty. I found this in the carefully planned breeding of Clara.
About the time of the litters arrival, we lost our house in a fire. I thought I would have to pass on a puppy at this time. I was astounded at Missa's willingness to work with us. She offered to keep our pick of puppy until we were ready to move back to our home. She kept our puppy an extra month for us.
When we picked him up, Jaxx knew his name, knew how to sit and had a pretty solid recall and was very well socialized. We were happy to find that Jaxx was in perfect health and up to date on all vaccinations and wormings.
Our whole family loves Jaxx and I am looking forward to many fun rewarding years with this beautiful dog. I am eagerly looking forward to returning to the obedience ring with him and he is already a favorite visitor at the nursing home where I work in activities. I am confident we will be also be able to earn his therapy dog certificate with his sound temperament.
I would highly recommend a puppy from Missa, and am very grateful for the extra work and support she has given us. Mostly, I am very grateful to have Jaxx in our family.

Mark Kuhlman (Onawa, IA) I spent a few months searching for a reputable breeder for our next German Shepherd, Our first one was very aggressive and I wanted our next one to have a good temperament. I found Missa's page after looking at several GSD pages. She was great from the start. She kept me informed all through the pregnancy. We fell in love with Nahla before we even seen her in person. She is a loveable, beautiful, smart, little girl. I have to say the whole experience was great, from the time the pups were born until now. Missa truly cares about what she does and it shows in the dogs she breeds.
Michelle Bicknell (Yankton, SD) I am very pleased with the puppy I got from Missa. She did a great job with matching me to my calm companion. He will be perfect for me when I move this coming summer to California. If it wasn't for the temperament test I wouldn't be so sure about my move, but knowing I got what I wanted I know it is possible. Kai is a quick learner and a big boy of 20lbs at 9 weeks old. He loves cuddling and I love being able to have a calm puppy to cuddle. I highly recommend future German Shepherd owners to contact Missa and experience the great quality of her Shepherds.
Frank Feldman (South Dakota) I had trained dogs for show for six years as a young adult. However the German Shepherd, GSD, was a new breed for me. As I aged I found that I now was in need for a service dog. We quickly learned that finding a GSD with a good blood line very difficult and in high demand. By happen stance we found Missa on the web and bought a male puppy sight unseen. His name is Bundy Von Feldmann. I have trained dogs and lived beside them all my life but still I worried about how well a GSD would be able to train. As I waited the few weeks for Bundy to turn 8 weeks old I tried to learn all I could about them and some websites had me worried and intimidated. Bundy is now nearly 10 weeks old at this time and his story is remarkable. I began working with him the first day and have found him to be the smartest dog I have ever been beside. It took only a couple days to completely potty train him and with only one
or two accidents he is now 100% trained and knows how to alert me to his potty needs and sleeps
through the night without interruption. I am also astounded that his ears are already fully standing. He definitely knows how to be a rough house puppy and he knows when it is time to work. He currently is marked as a service dog in training and already knows how to heel, sit, lay down, and has found perfect cadence at my ankle at all times. He also knows Long sit, Long down, Return, Circle, Positioning, and Stay. Doors, however, well we are still working on the mean old doors and the timing needed to pass through a swinging door. Bundy has already traveled through many states and we are currently in Los Angeles CA. He has been in many stores, such as Walmart and Albertsons, and many restaurants, fast food locations and truck stops with no trouble what so ever. He is welcomed every where we go and the children love him. In a Walmart in Evanston, WY several female employees took great joy in giving him a tour of the entire store. This greatly reduced my fear of how a service animal would be received by businesses. I spent my whole life with dogs depending on me for love and safety. Now I find myself depending on them. Bundy was the right choice. It was just meant to be. The only caution I would place is you must be very careful around your smaller dogs during play and never leave your puppy alone among smaller animals. They play a little rough and sharp puppy teeth can upset
your older dogs quickly.
Thank You Missa. I could not be happier.

Anna and Nick K - "We have nothing but great things to say about Waldo German Shepherd Dogs. Missa was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process. You can really tell she cares a lot and knows a lot about the breed. Our puppy is 6 months old now and weighs just shy of 60lbs. She is beautiful, extremely smart, and very athletic. We couldn't be happier with our decision to purchase our puppy from Waldo German Shepherd Dogs."
Rachael and Reese Graue (Kansas City MO) We couldn't be happier with the puppy we received from Waldo GSD! Missa does a great job taking care of them and loving on the pups. Our puppy was already comfortable around other dogs and young children when we got him. When researching multiple sites for things you should look for in a GSD breeder-Missa met every recommendation. The puppies were all checked out by a vet, immunizations given and micro-chipped before heading to their new homes. It is very obvious that Missa is a true animal lover and would do anything for her pups. I was very impressed with her temperament testing. We get more compliments about the wonderful temperament of our puppy Maverick. He is such a loving, sweet, calm dog. I would definitely recommend Waldo GSD to anyone looking for a German Shepard Dog and I wouldn't get another one from any other breeder! Thanks Missa!
Myles Johnson (Bellevue, NE) I am more than pleased with this breeder. Very professional, very loving, my puppy was healthy and happy when I got her. If I ever get another gsd it will definitely be through Waldo gsd. I couldn't be happier thanks for everything.
Landon Wakefield (Omaha NE) We received our German Shepherd from the Waldos about three weeks ago and we are so pleased with Koda. He is a beautiful dog and so well mannered and good with our 3 girls. It's obvious the litter was loved and very well taken care of while in Missas care. Thanks Missa!
Aleksandr Siverin (Lincoln NE) We're more than pleased with Waldo GSD's!!! Very professional!!! Missa does a great job with raising beautiful pups. My dog was healthy and happy when I got him. She also helps you if you have questions or problems on raising your pup. We couldn't be happier, thanks for everything!!! Beautiful GSD's- 5*s!!!
