Anita,
It was so nice to meet you. We really appreciate all the effort you put into raising your puppies. Wolf, is one awesome little fellow! He has the absolute best temperament, not too shy, not too aggressive. We can really tell that you spent a lot of time socializing and grooming him. He hasn't had an accident in the house once since we brought him home and he is sleeping all night. He loves to play and to cuddle and he's is just so smart. We are so happy with him. It's like he has always been a part of the family. Chandler has him on a really good schedule and he is enjoying every minute with him. The cats even like him. They weren't stressed out at all, not even when we first brought him home. We had told you we were going to be getting a lab pup in the next couple of weeks, because my husband and I are lab lovers. We have decided to wait on adding another pup if we add one at all, because Wolf is everything we could ever want and we are so looking forward to enjoying every moment with him. We don't want to miss a thing! It is so nice to see Chandler and Wolf bond. He's got a friend for life. Thanks again from three very happy, very satisfied customers. We loved being able to see pictures of him every week and always looked forward to hearing what he was up to. Thanks so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to keep us updated. You run a very well organized operation and it is so obvious your family loves their dogs. We'll keep in touch.
Thanks again,
Amy

Hi Anita,
Hope you are doing well. We are. Harley is such a sweet little lady. We had a
great night and day today. Took her to the Vet and everything looked good.
She is doing well with her training so far. I will send some pictures soon. Thank
you again for everything and especially Harley. We love her.

Hey Anita,
Macie is doing great. We are in the process of switching her food over to
Blue Buffalo and she's loving the new food! She has become acclimated with
both of our places and she has definitely made herself at home at both. She
is getting better at sleeping longer. Last night she slept from 12 to 6:30
without waking. She sure seems to enjoy being in bed with me some before
bed though. She has been such a delight... she has already perfected sit and is
working on lay. Depending on the day she comes when we call her name...
definitely hard headed :) I have attached a few pictures for you! Shes
getting so big. Its crazy to see how fast shes growing!

Hi Anita!
Just wanted to send you a quick update. I decided on the name Lexie. She's
been an absolute joy to have around! I took her to the vet yesterday, and
they gave her a clean bill of health...and a treat, which she LOVED! She's
very curious about my two cats, but they mostly just ignore her. The only
time she barks is when they won't let her play with them. They run away and
jump over the gate we have up to keep her out of the bedrooms. I took her to
Petco yesterday too, and got her a new toy, so I've attached a picture I
took this morning of her with it. Enjoy!

Here are a couple of pictures.  1) woke up on the trip home by the camera making
noise and 2) Retriever in training?
I can't believe how good she is.  She is almost house broken already.  We make
frequent trips out to the back yard and she does her numbers.  She hasn't yet
indicated she wants to go out but many times when we do, she has held it.  Give
her another few days and I bet she will indicate that she wants to go out.  She
spent the night quietly on her bed in our bedroom.  Follows me
everywhere.  Eating well.
Regards,
Charley W
The videos of Maverick were made Thanksgiving day 2009.   He is definitely a well balanced boy: great temperament, intelligent, sound nerves and has an awesome bond with his Mama and Daddy. We are so proud of Sean and Melissa for providing Maverick with so much love and devotion......they truly are a
happy trio.

Here is a picture of Chloe. Cameron takes real good care of her & we all love her very much. She is already spoiled, lol. I will keep you updated with pics.
Thanks, Jennifer
Cayman is SO precious and the folks at the vet just fight over her! She is so smart and she's growing like a weed!  Our vet said she's 17 pounds and now she's eating 4 cups of Puppy Chow/Large Breed per day.  She's already learned to sit and stay and she went jogging with me the other day. She's great at heeling and only tripped me twice (haha).  For a little puppy, that's great! Best of all, someone was coming up behind me and those BIG EARS heard him and she starting barking.  Even though the person was an innocent jogger, it was dark and I was so thankful she was with me. My vet said to not take her on long runs until after 9 months b/c it's hard on their growing joints.  Still, the vet agreed it was good to take her with me for shorter walks/slow jogs so that she gets used to the "scene".
I will continue to send pictures b/c she is just precious and so happy with her new family. Our kids adore her almost as much as me. And Rick, we'll just say I've caught Cayman in his arms late at night while he's  watching TV.  Now how's that going to be when she's 80 lbs and still on his lap?  She looks like her mom, Sanorra. Precious puppy!!!
Take care, 
Ruthie
CAP
We are enjoying our new best friend immensely.  He is really keeping us on our toes.  What we have gotten from you is a healthy, happy, playful, friendly and beautiful pup that has already stolen our hearts.  His name is "Cap".  We'll keep you updated.

Anita,
Just wanted to give you an update on Shadow. He is fitting in very well with the family! He is great with the kids and is a big time snuggler with them. He loves for them to lay with him and squeeze him. As of this morning he has not been introduced to the 2 horses but hopefully that will happen in the very near future. 
Thank you for all you help and we look forward to seeing you soon to get Diesel.
I hope that you have a great day!
Jessica

Hi Anita
Just thought I would send you a quick email and pic of Markus. He is one smart pup! And he’s growing, too! It took Kasey (my 9-year-old lab mix) a couple days to get used to a new puppy – but now they are inseparable.
We have taught Markus a couple commands and he knows them well. Next week we’re going to start training him to ride in a kennel.
The only problem I am having is the chickens! I can’t seem to find a way to get across to him – no touching! Any suggestions? I have tried treats so far, but I think he wants the bigger treats (the chickens)!

Thanks for any help.
Jamie
Hi Anita & Kenneth,

Ramesses is settling in well. He & Ty are playing together fairly well. Ty has to get used to a puppy though, now he knows how Lex felt when he came along! I'm including a couple pictures, hope you enjoy. I really don't think "spoiled rotten" will be an adequate description! hahah

Andy
Hello Anita,

All is well and I have attached a picture of our two puppies.  She is growing like a weed.
