Dear Kimbertal Kennels,
We got our Rottie female from you in 2000. Zoe was a much loved member of our family and a wonderful ambassador for the breed. Everyone who met her loved her. I can’t tell you how many friends and neighbors said they were afraid of Rottweilers until they met Zoe. Our vet said she was the best Rottweiler he’d ever known.
She developed bone cancer in her front left leg in May 2009. We did not amputate or do chemo, she was not a candidate for treatment). They gave her three months to live.
After researching on the internet, I gave her only high protein food (Blue Buffalo Wilderness), brewed her Essiac tea, and added pureed asparagus and a seed powder supplement to her food . The first year we could barely notice a difference other than the limp. She still swam in the lake, went up and down stairs, played with her toys and enjoyed life. It was a gradual decline as the tumor grew. By the summer of 2011 she could no longer do the stairs, never went into the lake, and could not walk on hardwood floors. Her decline accelerated with the New Year, but she remained a happy and loving companion to the end.
Last night she died peacefully in her sleep.
She was whelped 9/15/00 and had a tattoo R86 (I think). According to her pedigree, her sire was Captain Coman von KK and her dam was Carla carlos Jeff von KK.
We just wanted you to know what a wonderful dog she was and to thank you for giving her to us. She has left a huge hole in our lives.
Linda and Walt

To all at Kimbertal Kennels…. Thank you!!! Zuko is now 7 months old, a little over 80lbs and probably the smartest most loveable dog I have ever known. From the day I picked him up he hasn’t left my side. I literally can’t remember the last time I was able to do anything by myself lol. He’s such a handsome boy that people stop their cars to ask me about him when we go for walks. I even bring him into work to meet my co-workers and at first they are apprehensive because of his size, but then he lays across their lap and they realize he’s just a big lover boy. This dog has been a blessing and I am truly grateful. Thank you so much. Without a doubt all other future four legged members of my family will be from Kimbertal.

Hi everyone,
We just returned home to NY after 7 weeks and over 5750 miles with our babies,Jade 71/2 and Duke 6 today. We spent time in Florida,New Orleans and Tenn. The Dobies were with us the whole time. We had them in the French Quarter in New Orleans. We had so many people stop to see them and as always my Kimbertal babies are well behaved and so good looking. We had them in the Royal Senesta Hotel lobby on Burbon St. Here's a couple of pictures for you.
Thanks again for the best!!!

Greetings Anne,
Well we finally arrived home at 11:30ish. The trip with Sonja went absolutely fabulous!!! No car sickness, not even an accident in the truck!! She was having way to much fun at the rest areas playing i the snow! She is tucked away for the night in her new crate. Thank you sooooo much for all your kindness! We are very happy with her. I must add that Theresa is a wonderful young lady and was so very helpful and informative on directions with ears and such! My 12 year old son bombarded her with questions, she was such a sweety. She sure is great with those puppies and knows what she is doing. Have a great night and we will keep you posted!! Thanks again!
Thank You Mitchell, Donald and April Slay

We're so happy with our new pup! He has the best temperament and has
been a very wonderful addition to our family!!
I changed his tapes today. Just wanted to make sure I don't need to do anything to the
ear itself.
Happy New Year!

Good Wednesday Afternoon Dear Anne at Kimbertal;
Been looking at Your Website and the Puppies You have for Sale. Your Internet Special for $1,750.00, Number D 69 J really caught my Eye. Couldn't believe the likeliness that beautiful Boy bares to my Ruger. The Face is as if they were Twins. The same sweet Look in their Eyes, the same Expression. I am not surprised though because they have the same Sire, Iran. He really passes his Looks on to his Offspring.
I am so happy with Ruger. Always wrote You the wrong Tatoo No. It's D 51 FF, not F51 as I had referred to. Ruger has acomplished much in his young Age. He was 18 Month Dec. 16th. He was the 'Collector' of Funds this past Summer to have a Safety Entrance put on our existing Dog Park here in Manistee. It was a much needed Safety issue that had not been addressed when the Park was initally build. The Fence is also to low, only Four Feet high, so, we are going to go for a 'large Dog' Section with a minimum of Six, but hopefully Eight Foot Fence next Year.
Ruger's best and greatest Achivement however is that he has become the 'Doberman Pinscher Ambassador' for his Breed everywhere we go. He leaves People in Awe of how nice and gentle his Breed truly is. Of course I always interject that he is the Way he is because he was bred and raised right. And they also comment on how good looking he is. And I can't argue that Point either, smile. I just can't Thank You enough for my Ruger Boy. He is sweet and gentle with Dog's and People of all Sizes and Ages but is a fierce Guardian at Home.
Did You receive Ruger's Picture with Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus? I e-mailed it on the 25th., Christmas Day. If You did, would You please send me a short Note to let me know what You think of Your Doberman Product? Is he doing You proud and am I doing a good Job keeping him in Top Condition? Your Oppinion is very important to me as I greatly value any of Your Comments.
Of course we hope that everyone at Kimbertal had a wonderful Christmas and an even better Year yet ahead. Our most sincerest Wishes for a prosperous, safe, happy and healthy 2012.
My Husband, Ruger and I are planning a possible Trip next Year to visit with You sometime late Spring, early Summer. Would let You know in Advance as to when.
I truly hope that I am not pestering You with my e-mails, or Ruger's. If I do, please don't hesitate to let me know. I would not be upset. I am just so happy with Ruger and I always think of You and the Kindness You had shown us while there.
