HITLER'S DOG
Blondie (1934 – April 29, 1945) was the name of Adolf Hitler's German Shepherd Dog. She was given to him as a gift by Martin Bormann in 1941. Blondie stayed with Hitler even after his move to the Führerbunker during the fall of Berlin, and in April 1945 had a litter of five puppies sired by Gerdy Troost's German Shepherd "Harass". Hitler named one of the puppies "Wolf" (his favorite nickname and the meaning of Hitler's first name, "Adolf". During the Fall of Berlin, before Hitler committed suicide, it is popular myth that he ordered his physician Dr. Stumpfegger to test his cyanide pills on Blondie. By all accounts that are not allied propaganda, the truth is that he was insistant that neither he nor the dog should fall into the hands of the invading Soviets (fearing harm would be brought to her). He briefly thought of letting her free to run into the streets of Berlin but he realized that she would soon be captured and eaten. Left with no option he had her put down. He was inconsolable afterwards and ended his own life shortly thereafter. Soviets later found the bodies of Blondie and one puppy. It is unknown what happened to the remaining four.

Michael,
I am submitting some photos for Ragnars Mailbag.
In the first pic the dog on the left is DUKE he is 1/3 Australian Shepherd, 1/3 Black Lab, and 1/3 St Bernard and is approx 6 months old and the smaller dog is CHAMP he is 1/2 Australian Shepherd and 1/2 Boxer and is approx 5 months old
The 2nd pic is of Duke as a puppy with my fiancee, Katie.
The last pic is of Katies German Shepherd SHEBA who is 14 years old. She is kept at Katies mothers home out in the country as we live in an apartment but we are soon moving into a house and we are gonna see if we can have Sheba at the house now in our home.
They are our four legged children and get along just like as if they really were brothers, they fight and play like it and they really are mommas boys inside the house, but daddys boys outside. Sheba is old and really doesnt like to be toyed with by the younger boys but she does like to play with us adults, a little, and loves to be loved on. - Richard

 I can see that you like dogs. Well I do to, and I like to share a picture of my dear Ludde he is a Karelian bear dog that I imported from Ilomants in Finland just on the border to russia. He will be 10 years old in april its a shame that they live so short. He is a fantastic animal and so extremly loyal, we had a lots of fun thru the years we have hunted all there is to hunt, and scared burglers won competitions. And thanks to him I even been invited abroad on hunting. And most of all unconditional love. I hope we will meet in heaven when its time. - Mbr/Mattias |

ODIN & ME
Hello,
This is a picture of me with Odin my young and soon to be hunting buddy. He is just 6 months old and I could not have asked for a better dog. He is just about the best friend a guy can ask for even if he does chew on my boots and fishing rods!
Chris,
P.S. the SS mug is a hit I love it.

 Rest in Peace Makaya
My mother owned a female Rottweiler and my brother a male (Zoie & Zeus). We bred them in 1997 and after the litter was born, I picked out my baby. My husband and I named her Makaya "Duchess Makaya Von Zoe" She was loved by anyone who knew her. She went everywhere with us and changed a lot of peoples minds about Rottweilers with her loving and gentle ways. She was diagnosed with bone cancer February 28, 2002 at 4 years. We were devastated, everyone was crying. Her condition deteriorated very rapidly and on March 15, 2002 we decided it was in her best interest to let her go.
On that March day we took her to her vet and he came out into the yard and as she laid in my lap was put to sleep. I held her tight in my arms, cried and told her everything would be okay and that we would all be together again. She died there at 8:30 a.m. in my lap and we all cried. I still cry to this day.
It has now been almost 5 years and I still think of her everyday. I had her name tattooed on my wrist. Everyone in my family and some friends wrote her letters telling her how much they loved her. We took her to Petsmart and she picked out a toy shortly before her death. I have a wooden box with all of the letters, the toy she picked out, pictures of her, all of her tags and a lock of her hair in it and her urn sits on top.
Thank you for letting me share my story.

 Hello Michael
My name is Kevin. I ordered a few items from you a while back and was cleaning out my e-mails and came upon one from you that had confirmed that order. That led me to browse your web site and it was then that I noticed the writings and pictures of Ragnar and Valhalla. I want to extend my belated condolences to you on the loss of your dogs. I am of German descent, my name used to be spelled "Kreitz" which I am told is derivative of the German word for cross. My father was a man who loved German Shepherds and I was raised with many of them in my life until I left for military service in 1971. I was in the United States Air Force and I was deployed to Nakhon Phnom Royal Thai Air Force Base, 270 miles from Hanoi. The perimeter of the base was guarded by Air Security Police and a lot of well trained incredibly protective German Shepherd guard dogs. I slept a little better at night knowing that if anything approached the wire, those dogs would know about it before anyone else and would alert, thus waking up an amount of ordnance and firepower the likes of which was unfathomable.
 I have attached a picture of my current dog. Her name is Hana, she is a pure bred Korean Jindo and quite a remarkable dog. She is a cerified service dog. I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a condition induced by my experiences during the war. As a result, I am prone to severe panic attacks and night terrors. I originally rescued Hana just for companionship. But within a few months, it was clear that she had bonded with me to such an extent that she was instinctively alerting me to the on-set of my panic attacks, so much in advance of the attack that I could take medication to alleviate the effects of the attack, and sometimes head it off altogether. It is an incredible innate ability that she has, and it was enough for me to get her cerified through the Veteran's Administration as a service alert dog pertaining to a military service connected disability. So, I know what it means to be completely bonded to a dog, almost as strong a bond as with one's children, and I mourn your loss with you. Good luck with Leni, she looks like a wonderful dog. I have also attached a photo of my first dog and protector, Heidi. She was a magnificent animal and I loved her. She was with me from the time I was an infant until I was 5 years old. Tragically, an incredibly stupid neighbor fed Heidi a chicken leg and she cut her throat on the sharp bone and bled to death. We didn't even get a lame sympathy card from that neighbor.
Best regards - Kevin

Ava is a Rottweiler with German blood lines, Who know maybe her ancestors might of fought in WWII. She's the best dog I ever had. Max is a white Timber Shepard. He looks more like a wolf then a shepard. As you can see I feel bad for the person who decides to break into my house. I would rather have my dogs with me in the woods then a MP40. I really feel like dogs are mans best friends. - Christoph

 Hello,
I'm sorry to hear about your devastating losses, but I too have endured pain. But remember, with pain comes happiness. I almost lost my puppy, he was a mere 3 months old. I was told I couldn't keep him, after such a wonderful acquaintance with him. The moment I laid eyes on him, he jumped towards me, stumbled and fell, I caught him. Anyways, I still have him here with me today, and I wish I could say the same for your wonderful family.
Regards, Erik
P.S. his name is Tovi he is a true shepard

I am so touched by your great love and respect for our canine companions. They are simply the best....simply the best. My lady POOH wanted me to share this photo of herself in her Halloween Costume. She is 9 years old and my constant companion. She sends a kiss to the memory of Valhalla. - Robert

 Steve and Bear
I was sad to read of the recent loss of your beloved Valhalla. I know the feeling first hand as my own beloved Dog Bear died suddenly of pneumonia only 11 days after this attached picture was taken a couple years back. He was a German Sheperd/Lab mix and he was an incredible dog. But I was fortunate to have had twelve years with him. Nevertheless, the grief was unspeakable so I can relate to your loss. I hope eventually that most of the time when you look back that it will be with good memories more than the grief...which I eventually was able to do. - Steve

Jef & Harold
I'm sending you a picture of my cat, Harold. Great guy! I used to be just a 'dog guy', I detested cats. Then, of course, I met a woman. Isn't that how it always starts? Harold is a good friend and can tell when I'm happy or sad.
Be sure to check out his collar!!

 I'm so sorry to hear what is happening to You. My hart and prayers are with you and all your family.
In May my Sam 6 years old hurt his lower back for the 4th time, and badly that time. I had him put down, cause he would have suffered too much.
I got myself another dog. Here is a picture of my English Cocker Spaniel. I think very often of you, and will order more gear soon. My good thoughts are with you my Good Friend.
Bless you all. - Yves Canada

  Hello, I am sorry to hear of your latest loss. Being a dog owner and ex k-9 handler, I can understand and sympathize with you. I don't know what I would do if Thor, my pet German shepherd, or Sammy, my malanois partner would pass away. They are both a important part of my wife's and my life. We cannot have children, so our dogs are our surrogate kids. Once again, our deepest regrets and our thoughts are with you. - James |
 I know how closely we come to our Hunden and how much like Frederick the Great we can understand the nobility of our canine families. May Odin shepherd Ragnar in to the Halls of the Eternals.
