Vader with Jason & Susi
“Words will never be able to describe how truly blessed we are to have partnered with Abhai and his family for one of their amazing German Shepherds. From the very start and even two years later, Abhai has always been there for us to provide council, ideas, and sound advice. We consider Abhai to be family and are so happy with our boy, Vader. He is so loving, so smart, and, perfectly, ALL GAS NO BREAKS. His ball drive is unmatched. He’s so committed to training and pushing himself for his family, and he’s also the guy that gets 20 “He’s so handsome” comments, daily. Every day. All week. All year. THANK YOU for everything you have given us, Abhai & Priya. “

Raven with Dr. David & Dr. Angela S.
“We looked around for several months for our second German Shepherd, and we’re so happy we found Abhai. We were immensely impressed with how well he could articulate his breeding goals for creating a GSD with the correct temperament and conformation. After meeting many of his dogs – spanning 5 generations to include his 14 year old matriarch – it was clear to us that his GSDs have a consistent excellent quality about them. We were looking for a breeder who was more concerned with quality and not quantity. Not only are his dogs beautiful, they are healthy and athletic with a balanced temperament. It is very obvious that he has a long experience with training them. He has an impressive understanding of dog psychology, easily explaining behaviors and how to positively use it to get the behavior one desires. This is our first foray into Schutzhund training, and we couldn’t ask for a more understanding or helpful coach. In many ways he is not helping to train Raven, he is actually training us, as Raven already comes with all the behavior and drive that make her a great GSD. As a result, it is so much fun learning Schuntzhund with her. Raven is a wonderful mix of working dog and family pet – she has no lack of drive, demonstrating a monstrous level of intensity when it is time to work. When she is not working, which is anytime in the house, she chills out and is super affectionate. She enjoys bite work immensely, and gets very excited about tracking. She is a great family dog; she automatically knows how to modulate her level of play with our daughter, and is very attached to all of us. Everywhere we go she gets many appreciative comments on her looks!”
Enzo with Robert and Evin
“Bringing a Nummer Eins Dog into the family is the best decision you will ever make. Not only are these dogs aesthetically stunning, but more importantly they have balanced temperaments, are highly intelligent and physically healthy. Our dog Enzo has exceeded all of our expectations and is a well-rounded, confident, loving member of our family.
As a breeder, Abhai is extremely hands on. You can see how deeply he cares for his animals. Over the past 7 years, he has helped guide us with our pup every step of the way and been there for us whenever we have come up against any challenges.
We so look forward to bringing another Nummer Eins pup into our family in the very near future!”
Red with Rachel & Dr. Akshay
Zeus with Sunil & Theresa
My Zeus was bred, raised and carefully taken care of by my dear friend Abhai. When he arrived, one look at him and we knew we had a family member. Nummer-Eins is a great kennel. They understand GSD breeding. Quality people produce quality dogs. There is none better. Happy 2024 to my extended family.
Cheers Buddy!
Ophie & Bear with Sally & Mike
We have had the pleasure of bringing two Nummer-Eins dogs into our family. Ophie joined us in the summer of 2019 and Bear in December 2019. To say that they are family members is an understatement. They make us laugh every day. They are loyal, affectionate and full of personality. Bear and Ophie were lifesavers during the Covid lockdown. I don’t know what we would have done without their companionship. They continue to enrich our lives today.
Doc with Sarah
Arko with Fab & Dan
He is very smart, wants to please, has high food and ball drive. Yet, he’s also perfectly fine lounging around.
Arko, now 6 years old, took a while to mature into adulthood and come into his own. The fun part of him is he wants to play daily as if he’s still a pup.
He made a great family companion and guardian. He has full, calm grips on the sleeve and counters well. He “outs” on command and is clean in the bark and hold.
He is healthy with no issues, and look forward to a long life with him.

Chianti with Sophie
“HI AK! Hope you and your family are well. I just wanted to touch base with you. Chianti is the most amazing, intelligent, loving, happy girl ever. We are so happy with her. She too 🙂
I just can’t thank you enough for this amazing girl we have! I do keep working on the training commands we learned with you which she performs perfectly.
I find comfort in bringing all the dogs along with me on trail rides with the horses and I know the dogs love it. Chianti also comes with me all over… Co OP, TSC etc.”
Athena with Vincent
“Firstly, Abhai is an amazing person by heart, his love for dogs is wonderful, I recently had the chance to own one of Nummer-Eins puppy, these dogs are extremely intelligent with balanced temperaments, beautiful movement, superior drives and amazing anatomy. Abhai helped me a lot to learn and understand more about the breed. I would definitely recommend meeting him and his dogs if you want to know what actual German shepherds look and behave like.”
