Comment: Great website, wishing you every success for 2010 and beyond

Comment: I have just returned from 3 days training with Hilary. My GSD bitch of 9 months needed to learn some manners and respect. And she has done so extremely well thanks to Hilary and her superb methods and patience. Sabah will now do follow on, down stay, recall off lead. She is no longer wary of horses,other dogs,cats or chickens, Of course this is just the beginning of a journey, but thanks to Hilary it should be a successful one. Sabah now knows where she should be in our pack. Thank you Hilary.

Comment: Dear Hilary. A great big thank you for producing the most fabulous, beautiful loyal and gentle German Shepherd. We bought Beck from you 11 years ago when he was 7 weeks old. I had two young toddlers then and another baby shortly after getting Beck. He has been my childrens guardian watching over them as they have grown. Beck adored his family and was our BFG 'Big Friendly Giant' as the girls called him. Beck sadly died in his sleep yesterday, having been for a walk in the afternoon. I would not consider looking at any other GSD other than a Conquell when I am ready for another puppy. Thank you Hilary

Comment: Molly (Conquell Delta) truly is a robust and intelligent dog, stunning both in looks and temperament. Wherever we go we are always complemented on her behaviour and good nature, we could take all the credit for Molly ourselves but have to thank Hillary for laying firm foundations by providing us with a healthy happy puppy and sound advice on socialising and training.

Comment: Hi Hilary Love the new websites, both the GSD and Pug sites. Well done Rupert this weekend, best of luck for the future. David & Sharon

Comment: Hilary, I would like to express how much we enjoyed our visit yesterday, it was amazing to see each dog 'living the dream' at Penllain Ddu. Especially John, I think he was the star for us, I enjoyed playing with him and more so his amazing obedience to complete strangers. 'A Magnificant Specimen' I am looking forward to the new litter and to see Otra and John's pups enjoying the same life with you. See you soon.

Comment: Just a quick message to express how much we enjoyed our visit yesterday, it was amazing to see each dog 'living the dream' at Penllain Ddu. Especially John, I think he was the star for us, I enjoyed playing with him and more so his amazing obedience to complete strangers. 'A Magnificant Specimen'

Comment: Cant wait for the opportunity to come up and do some training with Boudica. We are both in need of your excellent training. Please can you make her as good as Asher used to be?? Thanks :-)

Comment: Just to say after picking up our 2 boys today, Maximus & Herc that Hilary & Tony could not have been more helpful and supportive through the whole process of buying and choosing our pups. We will without doubt be keeping in constant touch with Hilary as the boys grow older asking her for any advice and help that I am sure we will need at times to come. Hilary`s superb attitude and knowledge of german shepherds make us feel very happy & confident that the dogs we have bought have had the very best start in life and we hope we will continue to do that for them. Thanks Hilary & Tony very much.

Comment: Just a note of encouragement for anyone looking for help with thier dog,we went to see Hilary Wed 7th April ,we have GSD with fear problems, she has,nt been out of the house for six plus years under advice from other trainers, and this was our last try for her. I think it took four mins for Hilary to remove the muzzle and after a further 15 to 20 mins she was walking with her and had her playing with two of her dogs, Meg has never met any other dogs except our own as she would launch at them in a very aggressive way, we are going back for further training but the difference is incredible, even our vet was shocked so so pleased for Meg, thank you Hilary

Comment: We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful puppy, Riley. (John, Chilly) He is just the best friend! He is so bright and quick to learn, 8 weeks this weekend and has learnt sit, down, paw and fetch! After meeting John & Chilly I know that we are going to have a very trainable & loyal friend in Riley. Hilary & Tony have been very helpful and welcoming throughout the process of choosing him and we will definatly be keeping intouch in the future, and may even come to Wales for a doggie holiday! Highly recommended breeder with wonderfully natured dogs!

Comment: hello hilary, well it's been a week now since we brought our pup home from you and he has had more visitors than the queen !! he has coped well with the upset in the house this week with the plumber and casper our resident royal is taking to him slowly...he gets slightly grumpy if riley (who i can see is the second riley of the pack)gets to involved as this is his space. He is very photogenic and posing often he is also playing hell with my cats;) he is an absolute delight to have around and i am firmly a nanny now and the boss, gareth is definately the doting surrogate father photo's will follow massive thanks for the happiness your darling creation has brought to our family .love always audra,gareth, rachel,casper(maybe) and riley evans,xxx

Comment: Hi hillary, its been 2 weeks now since we picked up Tilly,she has settled in realy well and she is a very well behaved puppy she can sit, lay down, paw and was well worth the journey from Yorkshire (which she travelled very well and had 2 wee breaks (outside the car) , thankyou for being so welcoming and helpful, and we highly recommend you to anybody that is looking for a German Shepherd, again thankyou very much for our new family member x

Comment: Hi Hilary, We are now into our 3rd week with our new puppy, Conquell Gucci. She has settled in very well, due in no small way to her excellent temperament which she has clearly inherited from her parents, Chilli and John! She is an absolutely wonderful puppy with loads of character and too beautiful for words, thank you so much for all your experience and hard work that made it possible for us to have the privilege of owning Gucci, thank you too for all the time you spent with us!

Comment: Sheba and Mishka our 2 GSD's have just returned from yet another holiday with Hilary and her 'gang'; they have come back really fit and looking superb and it is clear that they had a wonderful time. We know that when they are with Hilary they are well looked after with lots and lots of exercise and fun. Many thanks Hilary

Comment: Hi Hilary & Tony Just a short note to say thank you for our lovely Chilli. She has been with us for three weeks now, and so far has completely changed our lives - in a good way. She is a beautiful girl, very well behaved, and everyone she meets adores her. We would recommend Conquell to anyone who wants a GSD, and when we do go on holiday I'm sure Chilli would love to come for a visit with all her old family and and friends.

Comment: Roxi has been with me for 2 months now,settled in well has excellent temperament which is expected knowing her parents Chilly & John.Growing very quickly into a beautiful looking girl, and She is adored by everyone who meet her. Thanks for all your help at the start which made it possible to own a wonderful puppy.Conquell is highly recommend for GSD's. Will visit as soon as possible & keep in touch with Roxi's family.

Comment: We're the new owners of one of Otra and John's latest and so far we couldn't be happier. Every new puppy owner thinks that they have the brightest, cleverest, most intelligent dog in the world, but so far ours has been a total star, barely putting a paw out of line. He handles every new situation with a chilled attitude, and I can only put this down to the amazing, varied environment he was born into. Thank you so much. Let's just hope he looks like his dad when he grows up! Maz and Tim

Comment: just had our pup german shepherd, called her Willow ,she is making herself at home, she is a beautiful dog and a very happy hound, at this moment she is being taught her manners by Meg our other GSD and has made good friends with Alfie our lab, if you are looking to own a well bred dog from a loving home from a serious breeder then please look to Conquel you will not be dissapointed,Hilary is very easy to get on with and will support you with your new pup and for as long as the dog lives, Thanx again for the pup ken & jan

Comment: Hi Hilary Chilli is now 6 months old and we cant imagine our lives without her now. She has a fantastic personality and loves playing with other dogs and being with people. We recently entered her in her first pedigree mixed breed competition and are very proud that she came 4th out of about 20 dogs. We are very proud parents! Thank you for being such a good breeder who really knows her stuff! Chilli is looking forward to seeing you at Christmas. Sherry & Jon.

Comment: Hilary, it was fantastic metting you and the dogs, we were so gobsmacked by the beauty and health of your dogs and their temperements shined through! We are looking forward to buying a Conquell puppy in the near future to add to our pack and feel so lucky to have found you!! I thoroughly recommend a visit to see Hilary, even though her dogs were shedding their coats for Winter you wouldn't of guessed unless Hilary told you as they looked absolutly beautifull we expecially loved fussing Verve and John but they were all amazing dogs. Thank you!

Comment: Hi Hilary, thank you so much for our beautiful pup Shadow who we brought home on 5/9/10. She is adorable and even at this young age, we can really see how intelligent she is. Thank you for all your help, your knowledge and experience with gsd's is amazing and I really have learnt so much from you. We will definitely call in when we are passing. Shadow is already part of our family, the children and all their friends are totally smitten. Thank you again.

Comment: Hilary, Thank you for my beautiful dog Tasar, he is our third conquell dog, the first two from you when you were in Berkshire. I am so glad you came back to England and I was able to have another Conquell puppy after the loss of my beautiful dog Troy. It was lovely seeing you and Tony again and all your beautiful dogs. The puppy pack supplied was very useful and has a lot of tips and information. Thank you for the years of pleasure we have had owning Conquell dogs, they are exceptional.

Comment: Hilary,thank you for everything. Tristan, John and Otra's son is a wonderful, big, long haired puppy and is settling in quite well now at home. He is naughty as all puppies are expected to be but what I would like to mention here is that how truly efficient you have been in ensuring we got what was promised and the way you have been advising us and holding our hand in this journey of ours. Thank you ever so much. I have already booked another puppy with you from your next litter and have been recommending you to all our friends who want a GSD puppy. God bless and thanks for everything,

Comment: utiful as only a Conquell dog can be .Thankyou Sandra and Nigel

Comment: Hilary ,Just to let you know that Conquell pup Hana has made herself at home and getting on well with our other GSD Y She is very vocal ,active and naughty but getting to know the rules now ,but beautiful as only a Conquell dog can be . Thankyou again .Sandra and Nigel .XX from Y and Hana

Comment: Hil, Tony & Gang, Alice (Conquell Landa), tipped off in May 2009 having reached the great age of 13 years. I honestly thought she was irreplaceable. Over a year later & after some detailed research into other breeds, Tula (Conquell Hada) arrived home. 4 weeks later we are completely smitten! From day one she was un-phased by our 4 Working Cockers, she is bright, quick to learn, inquisitive and occasionally vocal. We love her! Another ambassador for this noble breed, well done all!

Comment: Dear Hilary, just writing to thank you for training Darius, our German Shepherd. He has become such a lovely and wonderful puppy. After just one month of training, Darius walks properly now, on and off the leash, he responds to commands such as "wait" and "stay," is no longer wary of cats and other dogs and is far more responsive and receptive to the whole family. Thank you again Hilary, for changing Darius into a loving and obedient dog that we can now be proud of as well as love.

Comment: hi Hilary,so pleased to see you are still breeding conquell shepherds,first came to buy my first ever shepherd from you january 1984,a beautiful daughter out of spyrus,i came to your place in lifton and was blown away with all your beautful dogs,elsa was with us in devon for 10 years before she passed away,she was my 3 daughters private nanny,i still have dogs and have since moved to france where i bought a boarding kennels and cattery,but iv never had another shepherd as i felt i would never find another elsa,no other dog in my life have touched my heart like she did,but now i see you still have conquell shepherds that has changed my mind,looks like you will be getting a call from me in the near future!!!!!best regards Tina

Comment: hi hilary,i came to you in 1993 looking for a g.s.d. never did i think i would end up with the most loyal,well tempered friend i have ever known conquell vikor (yogi)from baldrick and fizz 13 years together and still miss him so much.thank you both for a wonderful companion i hope soon i can have one of your dogs again and enjoy that friendship again.so noble and proud,loyal to the end a real credit to you as someone who loves and understands the breed.

Comment: Hi Hilary & Tony it was lovely to see you again on Saturday when we came to pick up our new puppy Bear. He is settling in very well and our girls (aged 5 and 8) adore him! It was great to meet Bear's mum Lisa and uncle John who are just fabulous. We didn't hesitate to contact you again when we were thinking of getting Bear after having Saxon from you back in 2000 (sadly passed away in 2008) who brought us so much happiness. Thank you for our beautiful boys (and for the tea on Saturday).

Comment: hi hillary &tony, would just like to thankyou again for our wonderful gsd tillie.( chillie&john puppy ) she is now 11 months old and growing fast what a great temprement she has, the children on our street are always at the gates fussing her.she is so gentle with them.we took her to training classes and she passed with flying colours.dont get me wrong she still has her naughty puppy moments and hates having to come out of the stream.she is water and MUD mad, but still a wonderfull family member thankyou very much

Comment: Hi Hilary, Would just like to say thank you very much for all the support and advice you have given us on our new little (for now) GSD. Celt is doing well, been with us a week and finding his feet already, and getting bigger by the day. Celt  It has been brilliant being able to come and experience the dogs at penllain ddu, and we are thouroughly enjoying our new exciting lives with an amazing animal, which will carry on the conquell characteristics, im sure of it. Thank you... Llyr

Comment: Hilary, thank you so much for all your suuport and advice on our new conquell GSD. He is doing well, beginning to find his feet now and becoming bigger every week. He will carry on the conquell characteristics im sure of it. Thank you

Comment: Hi Hilary Just wanted to let you know that Kane has settled in really well in his new home. We have been out socialising him and everyone comments on how gorgeous he his. We are looking forward to completing his vaccs as he seems eager to get down on the floor and walk and play with all the other dogs. At the moment he is enjoying himself exploring the garden and familiarising himself with his new surroundings.Will send some photos as he grows and look forward to seeing you again. Jo & Dave Roper

Comment: We are delighted that we came in to contact with Hillary last summer. We are now the proud owners of a GSD puppy. Hillary is clearly passionate about all her animals, a highly recommended breeder with wonderfully natured dogs. Many thanks - will keep you updated on Indie's adventures!

Comment: I have just taken home TANGO our lovely German Sheherd puppy, Thanks to Hilary's dedication in providing the perfect companion i am looking forward to a wonderfull life with TANGO. He has come into his home and taken perfectly well with our other dog a Scottish terrior, he has settled into his home instantly. I am sure many challenges will come up in the intitial few months but i am looking forwards to it and cant thank Hilary enough. If a German Shepherd puppy is what you want look no further that Hilary. Thankyou.

Comment: I have finally found the time to sit down and write about our initial experiences owning our first Conquell puppy. Hilary, you have been so helpful throughout the whole process. We knew when we saw her dogs that we could not go wrong in getting our puppy from you. Our beautiful pup Nyala is now nine weeks old, and although the past 2 weeks have been hard work it has also been a great experience. It is a comfort to know that you are at the end of the phone, should we need advice. When we took her to the vets for her first jab, as well as telling us what a beautiful healthy dog we had, she also said that the Conquell puppy pack was easily the best, most comprehensive she had seen. Thank you so much Hilary not only for Nyala, but also for always having the time to give us advice.

Comment: Dear Hilary, Thank you so much for Roxi and Raja. They are the most wonderful puppies.... Rex (11 years, also a Conquell GSD and still going strong and a gentle giant) is still getting used to them, as Roxi is quiet feisty little madam! I think she'll be wearing the trousers!!! All my friends have fallen in love with them. Pascale x. As usual, a job well done Hilary, in breeding such wonderful and gentle temperamented dogs. Everyone comments on their nature and beauty.

Comment: Hi Hilary. Just to say how much we are enjoying our beautiful Conquell gsd puppy. After much family debate, we have named him Mika. He is gorgeous, lots of fun and, of course, into everything. Will keep you posted, so far he is as bright as a button and we have to work hard to keep one step ahead of his next move! Best Wishes,

Comment: We were recommended Conquell by a friend and now we know why. The dogs were all incredibly friendly and affectionate (I think if Brian could have smuggled John home you may have found yourself short a dog!!). This being the first puppy we will have owned together, the information Hilary provided was fantastic and we are now incredibily excited about the arrival of Otra's puppies later in the year. We left for the long drive home agreeing that we couldn't get a better GSD than a Conquell one!

Comment: Hi Hilary. Just to let you know how well Kane is doing. He is growing so quickly into such a handsome dog and is such a joy. The tips in the puppy pack regarding the critical stages have been invaluable to us and helped us such a lot in his training so far. He now walks off the lead and will return straight away when called. It's such a joy to see him playing on the fields with the other dogs so well and enjoying himself. Will send you some more photos of our handsome boy again soon. Best Wishes Jo, Dave & family

Comment: We recently became proud owners to a beautiful GSD.He is adorable!I would have no hesitation in saying; if you want a German Shepherd, this is the place to go.Best wishes and many thanks.

Comment: Hi Hillary, just a short message to say thank you very much for our adorable GSD dog TWM, the kids love him to bits and our schnauzer Pwdin is coming to terms with him!! It's nice to know that you are always on the other side of the phone if we need any advice. Anybody looking for a GSD dog should go and see a conquell dog for they are top quality!! A very happy customer, Thank you!!!

Comment: Hi Hilary and Tony. We got Charlie (son of Baldrick and Ganja) from you when you were at Oakwood Park Kennels in Wokingham. He was a fantastic dog, and we were all very upset to lose him in 2003. We vowed never to get another one EXCEPT if we could trace you, knowing you had gone to live and breed horses in Spain. Sandra gave in to having another one when we discovered you were back and breeding GSD`s in Wales. Maxx is now at home, and whilst he is into everything, he really is a delightful little (getting bigger!!) chap. Thank you so much for your help and advice with both the dogs we have had from you. Their temperaments have been/will be wonderful, and they are great companions.

Comment: Hi Hilary, Not only do we have adorabe Otra , who has babysat our naughty Gordon Setter but we now have Vienna as well. She is a complete fluff ball and everyone loves her and best of all she already has the setter at her command at only 8 weeks.

Comment: Hi Hilary,Hattie has settled in very well, we are enjoying every moment with her, cant believe how quick she is growing, thank you for such a beautiful and wonderful dog, we love her so much, and we would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone wishing to own a GSD, also thankyou for your help and advice.

Comment: Hi Hilary & Tony.Having had Jaeger home for over 2 weeks now,he has settling in well alongside his 1 year old sister (Roxi)which was from Chilly & Johns's first litter.He has as expected an excellent temperament and is quickly turning into a good looking chap.It makes life easier when you can pick-up the phone and get advise/help from an expect.I Would allway recommend "Conquel" to anyone looking for a GSD. will allways keep in touch, somewhere for doggy holidays - many thanks for all your help.

Comment: Hi Hilary, a note to say how wonderful my new Conquell pup Hannah is. She has settled in so fantastically well & loves her new surroundings & Harvey (my other GSD)Hannah is a true testament to how great Conquell is. Can't wait to meet up again soon for you to see how beautiful she is! Best Wishes, Darren, Harvey & Hannah xx

Comment: Hi Hilary, finally got around to signing your guest book! Thank you for the three wonderful GSD's I've had from you over the years. My lovely boy Matu is 4 this year.. his temperament is a credit to your wonderful breeding skills... his looks are second to none. I certainly wouldnt go anywhere else for a GSD. Thank you so very much Liz xxx

Comment: I lost two Gold. Retr. and my GSD all in six months. I got Tess from Hilary in 2000, she loved everything and everybody. I was devastated. I contacted Hilary in February and she has shown me support and kindness, always being there for me these last few months. Hilary kept me informed on Otras & Johns puppies which gave me something to look forward to. I now have a super puppy she is 9 wks old I have had her for two weeks. She settled in straight away, not afraid of anything and full of life. Hilary is not only a Respected Breeder, but she cares. It was a long way to travel but it was worth it to get the BEST. THANK YOU Hilary for my beautiful GSD Tess and now for my beautiful GSD puppy Shadow who truly is my little shadow.

Comment: Hi Hilary, I just wanted to say a special thank you for my new Puppy Yo Yo whom I got from you a week ago, from Otra& johns litter. He is the most beautiful Puppy that anybody could ever wish for,, he has setteled in really well, and gets on well with the other two dogs, and I would definately rccomend Hilary to anyone, as this is the third dog that we have had from her, and they have all been perfect, and indeed a real credit to her breeding skills, long may she continue, and thank you very much for my beautiful Yo Yo

Comment: hi hil.George has settled in really well.I didnt sleep his 1st night, George DID.Not even a whimper. and its been the same every night, and only 9 wks old! Otra and John should be very proud. John's gold colouring is coming through George's coat. Thank you Hil for all your help, its invaluable. See you soon. Very best wishes Dotxx

Comment: Hi Hilary and Tony We were so sad when we lost Tara at 10 years 6 months in March this year who was an excellent example of a Conquell GSD both in looks and temperament we really couldn't have asked for more. By chance we discovered you were back from Spain and breeding GSDs in Wales and were delighted to hear Tara's niece Otra was hopefully going to have a litter in May. Kira is 12 weeks old today and we have had her four weeks this Saturday. As you said she is mischievous but very lovely with it and has made lots of friends both human and doggies. She is eating and sleeping well and is becoming a very pretty girl. Thanks for everything Hilary and the journey was definitely worth it - we will keep you updated and let you know how Kira copes with the move on 22 August! We will email you with a picture taken today. Kind regards Neil and Jane Mackinnon

Comment: I want to thank you and Tony for the wonderful care you take of my 2 girls whenever I go on holiday.they are both ex-rescue dogs and Sal(lab x boxer) is very prone to anxiety and terrified of being abandoned. the first time I left them I was so anxious.Sal stops eating when upset, and can fall to 'skin and bone' within a few days. I have left her with Hilary and Tony for as long as 3 weeks and she comes back glossy and happy every time. We'll certainly be back again next year.

Comment: thanx for Willow(John&Otra2010) she is a lovely gsd and thank you for the training ,as we all know lead walking can be very frustrating so we called Hilary and arranged to go for training, it was good and now we have a working plan and it is working well (without halty).I would recommend anyone who is having problems with their dogs to contact Hilary, she is easy to get on with and knows what she is doing, again thank you ,we will be down again when we reach the next problem ! 

Comment: =Took my boxer for behaviour assessment. Had in-depth consultation, followed by outdoor work. Very positive, excellent, a lot achieved, looking forward to my next session.

Comment: We collected one of Hilary's beautiful puppies yesterday (ex John/Chilly) - a short coated girl we have named Pashca in honour of our old girl Nell, aka Kurtridge Pascha. It took us a long time to find you Hilary but are convinced our new best friend will be a fitting replacement. You clearly aim for soundness and temperament and these are just the qualities we were looking for. They're not always easy to find these days but Conquell GSDs have those attributes in spades. Thank you.

Comment: Hilary, thank you so much for another beautiful puppy. We have had 3 dogs from you to date and we wouldn't consider going anywhere else. You are a credit to the breed with each of our dogs having the most beautiful temperament, not to mention being stunningly handsome! We are over the moon with our new addition to the family. He has settled in beautifully and we often find him snuggled up to our other shepherd, Ned. Thanks again. We will keep in touch and send you some pics.

Comment: Hi Hilary, just to let you know we are delighted with our gorgeous pup 'Gage'. He has been as 'good as gold' . He has settled in really quickly and already struts around with confidence. He's playful, adorable and so clever! We would like to thank you for your guidance and help particularly the information and puppy pack you have given us which is invaluable and the fact you are at the end of the phone if we need you.
