KRISANNRIO TESTIMONIALS  It must have been my lucky day or fate that led me to the Krisannrio website.I have had German Shepherd dogs all my life, my present old boy being 11 years old, and had been thinking about having a puppy for some time. Although I had put my name down for a local pup in Cornwall, I had a few misgivings and was still searching the internet. That was my lucky day! There she was on Krisannrio website, Lexie the new joy of my life and future friend and companion. 350 miles away but it did not matter as I was able to watch her progress on the daily diary. Speaking to Ann, I would like to think we clicked on our joint experience and outlook on GSD’s and I found Raw feeding a revelation but a very obvious choice for feeding. Everyone is now fed up with me going on about it, but several friends, with other breeds of dog, are trying it. Well, she finally arrived after a long journey (is this your furthest progeny?), and I could not be happier. She is a beautiful looking dog, full of fun, very outgoing with lots of curiosity for learning. (I do think she is trying for Australia, though, digging holes in my garden!).Barney and Lexie are now great friends and I hope she will make his last years happy ones. I cannot thank Ann and Chris enough for my beautiful Lexie, the help and encouragement with the raw feeding and always so pleasant when I ring up with lots of queries and mishaps! I would certainly recommend Krisannrio to anyone wanting a German Shepherd dog and hope one day to even have another! Karene TaylorBodmin ,Cornwall
 I would like to send a great big thank you to Ann for allowing us bring home one of her beautiful puppies. I think it was fate that I stumbled across the Krisannrio site. I had been browsing puppy sales and Krisannrio was one of the first I looked at, and I fell in love straight away with two little girls. I wasn't intending having another puppy as I had only recently lost my girl. But I kept going back and looking at those two girls! In the end the pull was too much, and just a few weeks later Saskie came to live with us. She is a pleasure to own, she is confident and loving with us and everybody she meets. I can thoroughly recommend Krisannrio German Shepherds to anyone looking for a pup. The temperament of the dogs is fabulous, and the breeder is only a phone call or email away if you want to ask any questions, or have any worries and the advice on raw feeding is brilliant, so much so we have decided from now on all puppies coming into this house will go onto a raw diet... I love listening to Saskie crunch through those bones!! Can I have another puppy Ann, lol!! Shelley Carter Staffordshire
Ann & Chris. Thanks seems such a small word for the gratitude both Ian and myself feel since “Bonnie” came in to our life. It all started with me browsing on the web looking for a German Shepherd puppy for Ian as a surprise. Thankfully I came across Krisannrio web-site, and that’s where my search ended. Your website gave me all the information I needed to know that this is where Ian’s puppy was to be found. Following the initial contact, I know I was talking with a special person “Ann” who was a totally and utterly committed Breeder of stunning German Shepherd Dogs. In my choice of the puppy Ann advised me all the way, when I saw “Razzle” now known as “Bonnie” for the first time I knew she was the one. I just could not keep this news to myself so I relented and told Ian my plan which as I thought he was delighted with! Arrangements were made to visit Ann & Chris to see our new puppy. We were both so excited it was like getting ready for a visit from the Queen! When we arrived the greeting from both Ann & Chris and their beautiful dogs was enough to know we felt at home. Ian was handed “Bonnie” to hold and that was it there and then, they were a couple!! I wasn’t jealous because, I was totally in love with her too. Time passed quickly till the day we brought “Bonnie” home, she was the perfect passenger in the car, no problems at all. Since that day “Bonnie” has only given us nothing but love and affection, which we find so easy to give back in return. The after care offered by Ann & Chris was invaluable. Ann’s book “The Dogs Dinner”, all about raw feeding is excellent and referred to on many occasions. A Big Thank You Ann & Chris for allowing us to have “Bonnie” into our lives and to make us even more happier if that’s at all possible, we wait for our second Krisannrio pup and we will have another addition to our happy family. Love and Best wishes Always, Ian, Ann & “Bonnie”.
 I just wanted to say a HUGE thank-you for the amazing addition to our family that is 'Mika'. Your support before and after we brought her home was wonderful and I am so grateful to know that there will always be a friendly voice at the end of the telephone should I ever need your advice. The knowledge and the love you have for your dogs is inspiring. You will always be the first person I would come to with any concerns...although Mika is a dream and such a clever pup. It's unbelievable how quick and eager to learn she is! And also...thank-you for opening my eyes to the benefits of RAW feeding. It is something I was 'dabbling' in before, but now something I preach about to every dog owner I know (and my butcher.....I have lent him your book and needless to say, he's fascinated!). I have recommended you and you book to several others and many have bought it and also found it inspiring. Oh, and to watch the puppy progress page is any new puppy owners dream. Such a treat to see new pics of Mika every time I logged on. Anyway, I won't go on any more. I will always keep in touch, Ann. and again, Thank-you for everything" Amy Stockport
This one is from Charlotte and Karl Winton, from Grimsby, who own Pasha. 
I would like to say a big thankyou for all the help,advice and support that you have given us since we first came down to visit our beloved puppy Pasha.Your website was fantastic and it was great to see our puppy growing week to week, from the pictures that you had taken and posted on your puppy page. Thanks to you our puppy is healthy, confident, happy and content and this is all down to you.The advice and support that you have given us was very much appreciated , and it is reassuring to know that you will always be there if needed for future advice. Pasha is a much loved member of our family and has fitted in perfectly, she has brought laughter and enjoyment to our household and we couldn't imagine life without her. Pasha very much enjoys her RAW diet and enjoys nothing more than a chicken to chew on. I will never again feed any of my dogs on commercial dogfood, and again this is thanks to you, for opening our eyes to the damage that commercial foods can do. Thankyou again for everything, you are a fantastic breeder, and I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone that wants a healthy well bred German Shepherd. Yours sincerely, Charlotte and Karl Winton
 I would like to give a big thank you to Ann and Chris in giving us the opportunity of being proud owners of "Asha" one of the three bitches from Tiffany's litter. My want for a long haired German Shepherd pup has been a long quest (15 years), and finally were in a position to have our own pup, our daughter was a little older and I was not going be out of the country every few months. It was by chance that we came across the Krisannrio website and found Ann's web page, and I did not waste any time in contacting Krisannrio, from the initial call, I was immediately assured by Ann's commitment to her GSD's and as a breeder, the information I received I could not fault, and she is even now, always there to provide advice or too offer reassurance. Our first meeting with Ann and tiffany was a magical one, Tiff was so placid which was such a relief to us as a family, but more importantly our 7 year old daughter. We collected our bundle of joy at the end of March 2009 (this felt like an eternity) where we have watched this stunning looking dog grow and develop her personality, a loving addition to our family, she has brought so much laughter in to our lives, she is full of bounce, intelligent and inseparable from our daughter. She also has the ability to stop cars in the street, or luring people out of their houses to see her, she like Tiff has a fantastic temperament among other people, children and dogs alike. The introduction to Raw Feeding was new to us, and no doubt to many, again the information gathered from Ann and her web site allowed us to see the benefits of giving our pup the best chance in developing, the concept doesn't take much getting used too, just a little extra planning. Looking at Asha compared to other GSD's you can tell the difference, I believe this is down to her diet, I would recommend this form of feeding to everyone. Ann & Chris, Thank you for allowing us to become proud owners of Asha and for all the help and guidance you have given, we are truly grateful. I would urge anyone looking for a reputable breeder to contact Ann, I can assure you will not be disappointed Best Regards Eddie, Shelly and Niamh, and I cant forget Asha

From the owners of Kaiser, picture to follow... We recieved Kaiser from Krisannrio when he was 7 weeks old and from the moment he arrived home with us he was so relaxed and has been so well behaved. He is a gorgeous pup and his colours are amazing, the smallest pup of the litter and he has turned out to be a stunner.Ann is wonderful and any worries we have ever had, we just pick up the phone and she has always been so helpful.Kaiser is now huge and absolutely gorgeous, at a recent puppy party at Krisannrio he had a great time. His temperament is fantastic, we are really pleased we chose to RAW feed him as he thoroughly enjoys his food, we are delighted with Kaiser and would recommend Krisannrio to anybody wanting a lovely, well bred German Shepherd and great family pet, who is also awesome to look at.Jill and Bill Price, Merseyside.
 From Jeni and Mike Hulme, Ormskirk 'We lost Tara our wonderful sable GSD just over a year ago, and decided to have a few months without a dog. However, as the months passed we started to miss not having a four legged friend around the house. We started to look at various GSD breeders, and then got lucky to hear about Krisannrio, Ann and her wonderful long coat GSDs. After paying her a visit, we knew that we had been lucky in finding a breeder who clearly has a great way of breeding her dogs, but importantly to us, she was also insistent that her dogs went to good homes who were going to give her pups a great life. We picked up Amber (daughter of Tiffany) in late March 2009. She is a black and gold long coat, with loads of life and bounce, but also with a caring touch. She's rapidly filled the hole in our lives since loosing our Tara, and it's great watching her experience all those new things in life Ann introduced us to the raw feeding process - it's so easy, cheap and is giving Amber a great start in life. Our old GSD had suffered with dodgy stomachs for several years, and had been on the mega expensive Hills Presciption dog food - I just wish I'd known of the raw feed diet before now - it would have done her great, and saved us a packet!! It's also good to know that Ann is there to answer any queries, and give support as necessary. It's also great that she maintains an interest in her pups. So, would certainly recommend anyone looking seriously in finding a reputable GSD breeder to contact Ann - you will not be disappointed' Best Regards, Jeni and Mike and of course Amber

After longing for a new dog for years, I had my heart set on a GSD and found Ann on the internet. Her web site was a wealth of information and it was reassuring to know how much the breeder loves her dogs.
After visiting Tiffany last year waaaay long before she was even pregnant to check her out. It was immediatley obvious that Ann's dogs have a lovely temperament and are beautiful.
We waited an agonising few months to hear Tiffany was expecting and then in February, Ann contacted us to say the puppies had finally arrived after what seemed years!!
Ann sent us photos straight away and when they were four weeks old, we got to see them for the first time. We then picked our lovely Pippa.
Ann kept us updated and we were able to follow the puppies progress on the Krisannrio website. We ordered and read Ann's book about RAW feeding and Ann helped us with the diet and planning Pippa's first few weeks when we brought her home.
Pippa has settled in wonderfully and is a cheeky member of our family. She is amazing to watch her play and grow. She is mischievious, funny and very energetic.
We would like to say a big thank you to Ann who is never more than a phone call away and is always ready to help and advise us.
 From Nick and Carolyn Lloyd and Family. We would like to thank you for our new family member Vadar (jnr,spok).We spent many months looking for a gsd and never found the right combination of dogs,owners or breeders, until my wife stumbled on your web site and was initially weary of RAW feeding. But time and time again she kept looking at the site and reading more and more. At that point you only had our little bundle of fun left and we decided that after a lengthy chat over the phone that your passion for the pups welfare was inspiring. When we came to see you.You made absolutely sure we knew what we were doing before we even saw the pups. The attitude from previous breeders we had visited was there are the pups - which one do you want? not good enough. But how could we go wrong with the amount of info that is on your site or should I say the encyclopedia the time and effort that you put in to the info is an absolute credit to you. The main reason we decided to go for it was how healthy Shanti looked straight after she had had the pups, most look haggard but Shanti sparkled. We wondered why Vadar (Spok) hadn't gone and when we saw him at 4 weeks, we knew he'd been waiting for us.As dog owners for many years we hadn't felt that connection with a dog before. I put this down to the amount of support that you gave and still give. I would also like to thank Jeannette (Vadar Snr's Mum) at RockforceGSDs for helping to bring our new son to us and for her support and willingness to help advise and recommend local suppliers and trainers. Once again many thanks to you both if all breeders were like yourselves, the world would be a much nicer place for our best friends.
 From Ben's owner...... Since loosing my wife Christine to cancer my life was turned upside down. The nights were long and lonely until I was lucky to find the Krissanrio web site. I thought long and hard before deciding to share my life with a dog. Once I had made my mind up on looking for a long coat German Shepherd I spent many days and nights looking for a good reliable breeder.
Once I took a good look at the Krisannrio web site I knew this would be where my new friend would come from. But wait, Krisannrio fed their dogs on raw food. This was something new to me so I decided to look elsewhere.
After giving a great deal of thought to 'Raw Feeding', I returned to your web site and read all your in depth information on the subject, it all started to make a lot of sense. It is the most natural method of feeding to ensure a dog is to be as fit and healthy as possible giving him good quality food with no hidden additives.
Ben is and has always been so fit, alert, healthy and friendly fed on a natural diet of raw food. Food that has not had all the goodness cooked out of it.
Thank you Anne and Chris, Ben is simply the best dog ever. He is intelligent, obedient, friendly and good with children. His temperament is absolutely superb. He loves people and is very loyal to me.
We had some great holidays together in a log cabin in the Yorkshire Dales and as long as we are together, he settles anywhere. He was house trained in 3 days, yes 3 days! He has never begged at the table at meal times and he loves going out in the car.
I will bring him to visit you sometime in the near future, until then, keep up the good work,
Love and Best regards, Peter and Ben.
 This one is from the owners of Wellard, now named Jip and now owned by Tom and Alice Kelly from Merseyside. We just wanted to write to thank you for our wonderful pup 'Wellard' (now called Jip)He has fulfilled all our expectations and more. After recently loosing our GSD 'Sasha' we said never again - that is until stumbling upon your website and seeing Wellard - Love at first sight ! On visiting you we were so impressed with his Mother's, Brother's and Sister's good health and contentment and any reservations we had about the RAW diet were soon laid to rest. Jip has quickly himself at home and is such a friendly and outgoing pup, which is a credit to the breed and very much the breeder. It is also very reassuring to us knowing that you are always available for us to contact, should we have any worries and also to share your knowledge particularly on the RAW feeding. Very many thanks once again.Alice and Tom Kelly and of course Jip.
What can I say about Krisannrio GSDs...Well first I would like to say a big thank you to Ann and Chris for all the help and advice that was so forthcoming regarding our puppy, Bailey.It was great to be able to see his progress until the time we picked him up with photos posted on the website.The help and support is ongoing, it is very reassuring, knowing we can just pick up the phone if ever we need to.Bailey is a total pleasure to own, he has a fantastic temperament and this is in no small way down to yourselves with his choice of parents.He is healthy, happy and very outgoing, we would recommend Krisannrio GSDs to anybody who is looking for a quality shepherd.Thank you both for a wonderful addition to our family, kindest regards, Ian and Lynn Tomlinson.
From Dot, who owns Sabre, Merseyside  Hi Ann, I would just like to write a few words about our experience with you. My Husband owned a GSD for 13 years before he was given sleep, we looked for another GSD and were very lucky to find your website when Shanti had her puppies.We brought Sabre home and very sadly Eddie passed away 6 weeks later, I was very distraught, but Sabre kept me going, he has a wonderful temperament and loves everybody.I would be truly lost without him, as he has been my salvation, you and Chris are wonderful people, who put their hearts and souls into breeding these delightful dogs and I would like to say a big thank you for all the help you have given me, Dot.
 From Nero's owners, Jan and Jeff Harrison, Merseyside. Here is my beautiful big puppy Nero at eleven weeks old.I have waited a long time for him as I had to get my husband Jeff to agree with it and now he loves him so much, he wants another one. I have been taking my other dog Simmy who is a Westie to Chris to be clipped and pampered for quite a few years and always admired the way he and Ann looked after their dogs and what a wonderful temperament they all had, so I knew when I got a puppy it would come from them. Nero is an all black and a very stunning looking boy,with a lovely gentle temperament. When I got him at 7 weeks, Ann had already started the toilet training, so he was house trained very quickly, also I had never raw fed before and was a bit unsure but with all the help and advice from Ann and Chris I soon got the hang of it, and he is doing so well and really enjoys his food. I am even going to try and get my Westie on to it who is eleven, as she has started trying to pinch his meat and it has so many advantages health wise which I realized after reading Ann's book which I constantly keep looking things up in. So thank you Ann and Chris, for my beautiful boy and all the help and support you have given since I got him, you have been such a Godsend with all your advice. I know I only have to phone you if I have any problems and you will try your best to help solve it. Thanks againJanxxx
 From Charlie's owners Debbie and Jonathon Hutchinson from West YorkshireCharlie, what can I say!
He came into our lives when we had just lost our beloved dog buster after 12 years. I was scouring the web to find a german shepherd pup and totally by chance fell upon krisannrio site. I phoned Ann on the saturday, went to look at him on the sunday, totally fell in love and brought him home. Ann has been such a great support over the past couple of months, but Charlie has changed our house forever. He's naughty, cheeky and into everything, but we wouldnt have it any other way, he's only a baby afterall.
He brings a smile to all our faces everyday and is wonderful. He's a grand looking little lad and i'm sure we've got years of fun to come with him.
Thanks Ann for trusting us to take your baby boy home straight away on that sunday, he is a joy.
Debbie & Jonathan Hutchinson
