Hi Julia.
Jeff and I wanted to thank you and your family for raising such fabulous puppies. We
enjoyed our visits with you and your family in Pinon Hills to see the puppies and are glad
that we have been keeping in touch even after bringing our puppy home. "Charlie" has been
doing very well ever since the first day we brought him home! He has a very calm
temperament and has easily made the transition from being with his littermates to joining
our family. Thank you very much for giving us the towel with his mother's scent and his
favorite toy to take home with us. They are still his favorite things and I'm sure they have
made the transition to our home much easier for him. Charlie is very loving, friendly and
SMART! House-breaking the puppy has gone very well. Even Jeff was surprised at how
quickly Charlie learned to "go potty" in the designated area! He also learned how to "sit"
very quickly and "waits" for his food during feeding time. We love how he follows us
everywhere and sleeps right beside us while we are watching TV in the living room. I was
initially uncertain about having a puppy in the house - Jeff was the one who really wanted a
puppy for a while - but now, I'm not sure how my life would be without Charlie! I actually
think that the fact that your adorable kids helped raise the puppies have helped Charlie
become very socialable and kid-friendly. He is very happy to meet our friends and interacted
well with my little niece and nephew. We can tell that you and your family spent a lot of time
socializing him. If you ever happen to be near our area, please try to stop by and see Charlie -
and we really mean this! I'm sure he misses you guys and we had a great time interacting
with your family as well! I will continuously try to keep you updated on Charlie's progress
via Facebook! Again, thank you very much for a great addition to our family!

Hi Julia,
Darcy is doing great. He's smart little guy who learns very quickly. He
already sits and shakes on command and has done very well with his crate
training. We have the occasional accident in the house but not too often. He
passed his vet check with flying colors and was the delight of everyone in our
vets office. Everyone wanted to hold him and I didn't think we would ever
get out of there. He and our other dog are getting along. He likes to pester
her and bite her in the face so we're working on teaching him to giver her
some space. We had him microchipped and the last time we weighed him,
about a week ago, he was over 15 lbs.  I've attached some pictures. The first 2
were taken the first week we had him. The third picture is Darcy eating the
food out of our older dog's bowl and the last 2 were taken more recently.
He's really a joy to have.
Thanks, Mary

Hi Julia

I just wanted to thank you so much for letting us get Luke from you,
what a great puppy... He is very smart and social, he loves to take
walks down to the lake and also golf cart rides.. He is growing so
fast, his transition in our home was super easy and I am sure it was
because of all the attention he got from your family. He loves to play
fetch and will come back and give you the toy then sit and wait for
his treat. From the first night we put him in his crate for bed we
never here anything out of him until about 4:30 am when he is wide a
wake and ready for some more attention... (thank goodness we wake
up at
that time anyway) I will keep you posted on how he is doing! But just
wanted to thank you we are so in love with this little guy~~~

Dear Julia,

Attached are some photos of Luna. She’s doing great! The star of
puppy class, if I do say so. She has adjusted really well to being
with us – right from the start she did well in her crate, slept well
through the night, was friendly with kids, people and other dogs. We
couldn’t be happier with her.

Thank you so much.
Michele


Cannon is an amazing dog; we thank you every single day for the
opportunity to buy him from you. He is truly a hoot and a half, he makes
us laugh everyday. He’s going to be taking his first vacation with us next
week for 10 days to go dirt bike riding and we are very excited to take him
with us. We are just truly blessed to have him. We have had countless
people ask us where we purchased him from and have asked us for your
number.
Thank you,
McKenney Family
Hi Julia,
Just wanted to say hello and share some photos of Tiki...jumping in the
pool is her FAVORITE thing to do! Next week she will be 8 months
old...still haven't spayed her yet, (on advice from the vet). Time has
flown by. We sure love Tiki's great personality, she is very social and
loves to play hide and seek and thinking games. She and our 2 year old
granddaughter are inseperable!
Please let us know if you hear anything about Tiki's siblings....all
our best to your family!
thanks,
Andrea



Julia,
Thank you so much for our puppy, Sage. He has brought so much joy to
our family. The transition from your home to ours was incredibly easy.
You did an incredible job, with the help of your kids, raising a happy
healthy pup! We are looking forward to your future litters.

Dear Julia,
We’ve had Kona for about 3 months now and are thoroughly enjoying being
puppy parents. Thank you for all the support and advice you’ve given us- from
the puppy picking process all the way to your helpful comments on Facebook
these days! He has certainly grown from the little puppy we once knew to our big
boy who we can no longer carry. He constantly impresses us with how fast he
picks up on things (sometimes too fast!). Kona is an extremely social dog. He
loves people, no doubt from all the love and attention he received from you and
your family those early weeks, and is learning quickly to play well with other
dogs. We’ve brought him to the dog park, the dog beach, and hiking trails. He is
excellent at staying around us when he is off leash. Thank you for raising such a
wonderful dog. We hope that one day Kona can have a little sister from a future
litter!

Julia - an update regarding Lucy ... simply ... just perfect ! She
eats well, handles the family noise levels along with our 4 family
guests over Thanksgiving. She has settled in well, sleeps in her kennel
at night without a peep until 7:00am (except for the first night, but
we ignored her and she stopped after 20 minutes, then awoke every 2
hours barking). She also takes her many naps directly under my office
chair when I am on the phone and working on the computer (I have a
home
office).

Lucy had her wellness exam yesterday, Nov. 29th as we discussed, due to
the Holidays - the Vet thought she was a healthy non congenital
diseased puppy without fleas and sweet. She has us scheduled for her
2nd round of shots on December 14 and 3rd round for January 14.
Attached is her wellness exam report card.

Her feedings have changed a little - we do 7:00am, 2:00pm and then
lastly at 7:00pm. We have stayed with the Kirkland Puppy Food.

Thank you for a wonderful puppy - she goes to the bathroom on command
now - we open the door and use the word POTTY and she bolts for the
backyard - she still has some piddle accidents - but overall - she is
adjusting well, so are we!

We'll send pictures soon.

Hi Julia!

It has been almost 4 weeks since we picked up Romeo and we just can't
express in words how thankful we are to you and your family for him!!!
We couldn't even dream about such a great puppy!!! Seriously! We
prepared for all kinds of problems, but he just doesn't cause any! He
is so smart, playful, friendly and cute! He makes us laugh million
times a day, every day! The housebreaking was super easy: he figured
out where he needs to go potty on the second day we had him. He goes
to
sleep in his crate on his own and never cries or barks. We are planning
to enroll him in the puppy classes later, but have no idea what new
things he will learn there since he already knows how to sit, stay,
watch us, lay down, give five, roll and wave bye-bye, and he does all
these tricks perfect! So I guess we will enroll him just to socialize
him a bit more. He is so friendly with everyone he meets and he isn't
afraid of anything or anyone! Romeo has become a part of our family
and
our best friend thanks to the love and care your family was giving him
since his birth!

Thank you so much!!!
All the best wishes to you and your family!

Anna, Guy and Romeo

Julia,
I just want you to know how much we are enjoying Sage. He is such a
wonderful 8 month old. He is so calm and even tempered. Such a joy to be
around and such a wonderful addition to our family. He is good with our
grandkids, even though they are not around constantly. He loves everyone but
at the same time lets us know when there is a stranger at our door. Looking
forward to another one of your pups in the future.

Thank you for our boy....

Update
Hello Julia,

Just want to say hi and show you couple of pictures of Romeo! He is a big boy now,
almost 6 months and the biggest joy of our life of course!
Every person that meets him can say only one thing: "he is the cutest little thing
ever"! He is also the smartest dog ever and the best behaved dog ever! :) Sometimes I
really believe that he understands every single word we say...
His favorite activities are enjoying the dog beach, sleeping next to us on the sofa
while we watch TV and chewing bones of course! He also has a favorite movie -
"Earth" by DisneyNature, he would watch it the whole one and a half hours without
even blinking, that's how focused he is! :)

Thank you so much and the best wishes to all your family,

Anna.

Julia - hope all is well - attached is a photo of our Lucy - she is a TREMENDOUS
DOG, a true testament to your breeding and lineage. She was easy to potty train,
mild mannered and very attentive - sweet dog and we love her dearly. Attached is
a six month picture of Lucy in our backyard - after the rains, she needed to be
outside for a bit.We are contacting you regarding the information about your vet
to spay Lucy - can we take you up on that offer and make arrangements to bring
her to your vet? With your referral and contact information, we would like to
have her spayed this week. Let us know, thanks.

Hi Julia,

It's been two weeks and I just wanted to let you know that Delta is doing very well. She is super
smart, well mannered, playful, and obedient. She has done real well in her crate and I believe her
to be completely potty trained before two weeks. We have a doggy door and Leslie and I
introduced it to her after the first week. Now she goes out on her own for several days now.

She has had an exam by a vet and all was well. We are feeding her the Taste of the Wild w/salmon
and she eats very well.

Thank you so much for our wonderful puppy and know she is appreciated and loved to pieces. I
attached some pics and will stay in touch.

Thanks,
Gary
