Tatanka at 3½ months of age.
44 pounds and 19¼" tall at the shoulders. BIG boy.

Welcome to Tatanka's web site. Watch him grow with me, and see how he tackles each new day with gusto. His name is Lakota Sioux meaning "bull buffalo" . Please see the link to read more about Tatanka and its meaning. Read Kevin Costner's speech at the opening of Tatanka. Also read about the making of the bronze statues commemorating Tatanka. My boy has a big name to live up to.

It has been quite a while since there has been a German Shepherd in my life. Having had 2 of this wonderful breed (Ripley and Red Leather), it has taken me a while to get over the loss.

Now it's time. Tatanka came home May 11, 2005. To say I'm excited over this boy is an understatement. Oh my -- puppy breath. :-)

Take a look around, visit Tatanka's picture page. Tatanka's breeder, Elli Matlin, was wonderful about sending pictures often so I could be a part of his early growing period. You can see Elli's web site, and all of her wonderful GSD's by going here: Highland Hill's German Shepherds.

Visit the Before Tatanka page to see my two, wonderful girls who are romping at the Rainbow Bridge.

Visit often -- watch me grow!!
