Zora Eos von Hügelblick (Z2 litter)
(Pongo and Isis von Hügelblick)

I cannot express what a blessing Blake and Carrie have been through the entire process of finding my new furry family member. I came to Carrie after the passing of my beloved best friend and as a complete stranger to me; she presented nothing but heart-felt compassion and understanding for my loss. Though the pups were several weeks from coming home, Carrie constantly sent me pictures and updated me on how the pups were doing.

Upon arrival, we were given a tour of the beautiful place these wonderful dogs (all of which were friendly and loved to be petted) get to call home. We were given a tour of the kennels and got to see how the dogs interacted in the home and with strangers. Pongo, the sire of my puppy, especially impressed me. I watched as Blake worked Pongo with a drive and intensity that is unrivaled, however, within seconds of Blake releasing him from working, he was on the ground kissing my mother. The on/off switch Pongo possessed was next level, and reassured me that I was making the right choice.

Next came the six hour drive home from Nashville to Columbus. I had no idea what to expect with a puppy I had never met before today riding in a car for six hours. Boy, was I blown away! Eos was laying down with me cuddled up sleeping almost the entire time! Additionally, she made almost no noise on the entire ride back while sitting in my lap.

One thing I noticed instantaneously upon arriving home was the drive this puppy has. If I throw a ball, she is a magnet headed straight to it! On top of that, her food drive is awesome. Eos is quickly learning commands and she loves to work! I am over-joyed with what an awesome dog Eos is turning out to be and I cannot wait to see her develop into the beautiful strong dog I saw in her father!
