Dear Michelle,

Hanna in her new home with the kids.
Thank you for the extra effort in shipping. The kids,
my wife and I love her.
Best,
Marcel

I just wanted to let you know that Hannah is such a wonderful dog.  We are all enjoying her so much.  She is thriving.  She is a happy, playful dog who bring us all so much spontaneous joy.  After four weeks with her I can't imagine being without her.
I will have Marcel send you more pictures.  Best, Jean Saba

Hi Michelle,

I just needed to write to you to tell you how much we love Ben.  He is such a little sweetheart.  He is going to be spoiled rotten, if he isnt already.  He goes with us in the car everywhere and everyone thinks he is a stuffed toy, until they look closer.  He is so darned cute!  He is now sleeping in the bed at night and when he wiggles, I put him outside.  He has been doing very well at potty training and has had no nighttime messes.  He sure is a "suggle-bug!!"  He loves curling up on anyone's warm lap.  During my work hours, he is in his playpen in the kitchen with his kennel and has used the paper for potty, which I was very impressed with at how young he is.  He is just wonderful.  I thought he would have trouble with our temps here, but he has been doing well and does not shiver--must be his long silky coat that helps him.  He loves chasing our chickens in the back yard--but they are 3
times his size!!  He sure is a cutie.

Thanks so much,  Sue

Tried to phone you a couple of times, but you must be exhausted from your trip.  The puppies arrived safely, they are totally beautiful and just wonderful little things.  They acted like they have always lived here, and my old dog acts as proud of them as if she had given birth to them herself, really is quite amazing.  Thanks so much for everything and will send you pictures as they grow.  They are the most loving little dogs - sure says a lot for how you and your family raise them - they are very clean, and have only had a couple of accidents.  They go outside with me every 45-60 mins for a potty break and to run and play in the leaves.  Will talk with you later.  -Gail

Danny arrived in San Diego about 9:00 PM last night.  He's cuter than I could imagine and what a sweetheart!  Thanks for everything you've done and he'll have a really good home here in California.  We just love him!   -Barbara

Michelle,

Just a quick note to let you know how much we are enjoying Jazz.  He has quite a personality and is very intelligent.  He's already whimpering when he needs to go outside and has used his litterbox the last two nights. His adjustment to a new home has been sooo... much better than our previous two puppies. It sure makes a difference when they are weaned.  Thank you, so much. SA

Dear Michelle,
Just thought I would let you know, Isabella has settled in great. She is almost sleeping all night, and the kids are have a great time playing with her. She seems to have grown already! She is a wonderful addition to our family-Thank you, Christy

Hi this is Joann and I got Dakota (Koen) from you about a month and a week ago and he is doing great. he is as happy and full of energy as ever. He is doing very well and him and Max my other dog and also the cats, and ferret get along great. Here are some pictures of Dakota doing what he does best until he is fully trained....Playing of course! Thank you again for such a well manored dog.

-------------------------------------

Hello, I bought a puppy from you in October of 2004, I don't remember what his name was then it's written down somewhere. Anyways his name is Dakota now and he will be 2 years on July 22. I just thought I would send you another update photo of what he looks like now. Thanks JoAnn P

Michelle:

Just to let you know the dog slept in my lap all the way home.  He is being so-o-o good!!!  We have a couple of names picked out for him, just haven't decided which one.  He will be sleeping in our porch tonite.  We have put him in the outside kennel & he doesn't seem to mind, but he likes playing "fetch" with a tennis ball better!!!!  He brings the ball back to us already!!!!!!   He doesn't seem to be having any problems "adjusting to his new home!"  If I know of someone looking for a dog, I will let them know about you.

We are very happy with him~~~Thanks  Bonnie & Clark

Here are a couple pictures of Shep I just took.  He is very loveable.  We both care for him alot. Haven't worked with the cattle yet, but will try that soon. Great disposition. Very relaxed dog.

Lucy is settling in very well...very curious...housetraining is moving along well, although she would rather play than take it seriously.  She knows her name and comes when she is called and will bring a ball back most of the time.  She has a slight tummy ache, but that's no biggie, the vet gave her two shots and she's on med.  She sleeps almost through the night.
We couldn't be happier with her.  Lucy is a gem!  I am so glad we found you and her.
Helen

Lucy is four months now and she is wonderful!  Although we haven't started formal obedience training yet, Lucy will sit before she goes out the front door, sits and waits for her food and get this...goes out with my husband and gets the newspaper!  She is a joy.  Last night was the first night she didn't sleep in her kennel and she just cuddled on the pillow next to our bed and slept, she was a bit confused that the kennel door wasn't open.
If anyone wants a recommendation, send them to me...she is perfect, but most important, Lucy is all that my husband has ever wanted in a dog and after having dogs for the kids, he finally has a dog that he can call his own.

Charlotte is here safely, and as you can see, it was love at first sight for a girl and her dog.

Katherine is delighted that she is so playful and that she already retrieves.

She passed her vet check, he was impressed with the records you sent, and he read the Avid chip just fine.

Standard Labradoodle

Attached are a few pictures we took of her the other day.  She is over 7lbs now and she attended her first puppy kindergarten class last night.  She is very smart and curious.  She is definitely a people dog but she will play with our dogs one on one.

Hazel is doing extremely well.  She is almost a full grown girl now (15 lbs).  I've attached two pictures for you to see how beautiful... she is the joy of my life.  She is a blessing.               F1B Mini Labradoodle

Michelle,
Hi, just wanted to let you know that Ginger is doing just great.  The kids love her, she is sooo playful.  Our yellow lab, Beau, is still adjusting to her, hopefully he'll come around.  Still working on the potty training.  She is actually will go to the back door, but does not bark yet.  Thank you again for everything.     ~ Jean

Hi Michelle,  I just wanted to bring you up to date on how Reba (Hillary) and Ginger are doing.  Both girl are very well.  At 4 months old, Reba is 19 lbs and Ginger is 18 lbs.  Mom and Dad our so in love with Reba, she goes ever where with them.  She had started puppy kindergarten 2 weeks ago and she is picking up everything.  Ginger has started obedience classes and is also doing well, even though she is one of the youngest puppies there.  We are both so happy with our babies and would recommend your puppies to anyone.  Again, thank you for all your help in making this a very comfortable transition.  Thank you,  Jean and Nancy

Hi Michelle, Thought you might want to see how cute the girls are at 9mos. Both are doing well and are very, very friendly. Reba loves our grandkids, they can do anything to her and she just sits there loving it. We (Reba) are going back to school for over friendliness with people (jumping  &  crying when she see them, will not move till they come over to her ). Ginger & Reba play together at least 2 to 3 times a week. Reba loves riding in the car she knows when we're going for a new toy, walk in the park or to
see Ginger. Ginger is a kisser and loves to play ball with the kids. Their is about 10 pounds difference in the girls Ginger is 30lbs. and a few inches shorter than Reba,  and Reba is 40lb. and taller.  Thanks for two great family members, we just love them.

Michelle-
I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful addition to my family! Zoe is an incredible puppy and I can't imagine not having her with me.  She is so sweet and loving, great with both people and other dogs, and a pleasure to be
around.  She is the perfect dog! Thank you again for all of your help in picking out the perfect puppy.  Deciding on a puppy only by seeing pictures and talking via email can be a bit nerve-racking and you made it so easy! I couldn't be happier that I decided to work with you and would highly recommend you anyone.  Please feel free to email me if you ever need references.
Thank you again,  Alexis & Zoe   (I have attached a picture of us)

UPDATE:  Michelle,
I'm not sure if you remember me and Zoe (an F1B Mini Labradoodle) - but I adopted her from you almost 2 years ago now and things couldn't be better.  She LOVES other dogs and I am considering getting another puppy (maybe in July).

F1B Mini Labradoodle

Well, we finally got him home, gave him a little bath, something to eat and drink, played with some toys and he's happy as could be ... and so are we!

This Mini Labradoodle has been chosen to be in a book being published in the fall of 2005 called Planet Dog!  Watch for the upcoming publication!

Michelle,

Just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know how Chester is doing. We decided to keep the name (it fit him so well). He will be 6 mos. On Sunday and learning very quickly. I get many compliments on his temperament and looks (credit due to your breeding).

We officially started obedience training yesterday and he picked up the basics easily and without "treats" that were needed with other dogs.

He has a great personality and everyone in the family loves him. I have attached a picture taken over Memorial Day weekend of Chester with his Uncle Keeper (left - Airedale) and Aunt Trixie (right - Cairn). They got along very well and tired each other out!

Thanks again for a wonderful pet!

Hi Michelle, It was obvious to us, as soon as Willow arrived, that you people run a very nice kennel.  Willow is very obviously socialized, she was clean smelling, had a nice airline kennel, and lots of extras.

She was, at first, a little timid about coming out of her kennel, but now she comes out slowly, by herself.  She and our big dog, Sacha, are starting to get acquainted.  Willow wants to play with her, but Sacha is 90 lbs of nothing but ENERGY, and would hurt Willow if we dared let her play.

She loves the boy, and thinks he's the greatest thing since leaving her kennel mates.  She slept for 6 hours straight, last night, but she did wet in her kennel.  Thank goodness I stocked up on baby blankets!  Lots of 'accidents' in the house, but she always goes when we take her outside.  It's a little cold for her liking, so the second she goes, she runs to our feet and stands on them.
You probably don't want or need as much communication as I will send you .  but I would want to know how my dog was doing, if it were me.  So . . . I'll keep you updated unless you say otherwise.

Thanks again, Deanna       English Shepherd
