My wife Lynn and I had been looking for a GSD for some time.  I have always loved the GSD breed with all of their wonderful traits. We had been looking online in the lower 48 where we had been in contact with several breeders.  We had been considering purchasing a GSD and having it flown up to Alaska, but honestly I felt that the breeders were more concerned about turning a dollar than the actual GSD.  We finally came across Brigitte and Shaun Lytle owners of Alaska Dog Boarding and Training.  We started communicating via email, and I was so completely impressed with their prompt reply and concern.  They let us know they had a GSD named “Kulik” available and invited us to come and see this little fellow. We made the drive to Palmer, met Brigitte and Shaun and I have to say that we were so impressed that they were more concerned about their GSDs than making the “sale”.  Lynn and I fell in love with Kulik at first meeting and of course he went home with us soon after.  Kulik is truly one of the most beautiful GSD I have ever seen, and has proven himself to be the smartest dog I have ever worked with.   He is an adored member of our family, and every day he surprises us even more with how smart he is and his eagerness to learn.  He has quickly become my shadow, he is always by my side and is always wanting to please.  He was a natural when it came to the leash with his walks and he was easily house trained always letting  us know when he has to “go”.  Lynn has never been around a GSD and it seems each day she remarks to me about how smart he is and how impressed she is with him, actually I think they both have become very attached to each other.   Getting Kulik was one of the best decisions we have ever made and haven’t regretted it for a moment.   He has picked up on his OBD very quickly and always wants to learn more and I hope in the future to advance his training with the help of Brigitte and Shaun.   For anyone considering a GSD I would without a doubt recommend Shaun and Brigitte Lytle.  Their knowledge, care, and concern are equally as amazing as their GSDs!  Thank you Shaun and Brigitte for everything you have done, we love our “Kulik”!
