Hi!
I don't know if you remember me, but my husband and I bought our little Spike from you, a cute little shicon, back in January. He was born on January 1st. You were very accomodating, took the time to answer all my emails and sent me pictures of Spike as he grew, and took very good care of our baby until we could come pick him up ourselves. I put in a very good feedback for you in puppyfind.com---it was the least I could do.

I want you to know that Spike is such a blessing to our family! He is literally a bundle of joy---he is a very gentle and loving puppy, who also plays hard. When my husband is out of the coumtry (as I told you he is gone a lot), Spike licks my face whenever I cry. To us, he is not a dog, but a real baby. He plays very well with the puppies in the neighborhood, and is very popular with all the kids just because of his playful and friendly nature.

Cavachon puppy from 2009:

Just wanted to send an updated picture of Chase for you. He is doing great very smart. He is now 1and 1/2. He knows the difference between all his toys and if you tell him to get a certain toy he will get it. I was looking into programs for him to go to nursing homes and children's hospital wards cuz he seems to bring alot of joy to everyone just by showing those beautiful eyes. He really is a blessing and we love him solo much and he does everything possible with us he is the mascot for my boys baseball team lol. They love him they all pet him and let him kiss them for good luck. Thanks again for all your help and I have been telling everyone about you hopefully they have come to you. God bless and hope all family is well. Have a great summer.

Hi,

I wanted to share this photo of me and my third son.. Carson ! He has adjusted to the California climate and has become a very loved member of our family. He does resemble that one photo you told me about on your website with the dog walking and looking backwards. He will be 6 months at the end of May. He has grown quite a bit and is about 12 lbs or more now.

Thank you so much for helping to bring him to our family. We love Carson . Since he arrived on Valentine’s Day here in San Diego .. his full name is now Carson Valentino Phan.

Best to you and your family.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how wonderful Sophie is! She is almost 100% potty trained already and sleeps through the night most nights as well. The boys are having so much fun playing with her, and she is such a cuddle bug! She has been such a great addition to our family. Thanks again!!

Hi!

Just to update you quickly: Linus has successfully completed puppy kindergarten! He is turning out to be a very smart little doggy.

Other than that, there isn't a whole lot to say... But we hope everything is right with you and your family!

:) Attached are some pictures of Linus (one is of him in a pillowcase) and of his diploma.

Hi,
I've been meaning to send you some pictures of Pixie for weeks! She is doing so well. These pictures are taken at various times (after we had her hair cut, after it grew out again and then after her summer hair cut). She is such a sweet little dog. She rules our house now! She loves lying on the back of our sofa. Tristan just adores her and plays with her every day. She has discovered that toys and rawhide chewies are definitely her favorite things now. She takes every toy out of her toybox and I spend all my time picking them up again. We had her spayed several weeks ago and she did very well with her recovery. She goes to bed every night at 9 pm in her large kennel and never makes a sound until we let her out the next morning. She has been such a joy to have and we feel so fortunate to have her in our family. She is not much of a lap dog but loves to lay on our bed at night with her chewies while we watch TV until we all go to bed. I hope you are all doing well. Take care and I'll send pictures often.

Sorry, it has taken so long to send any pictures of Sara Sierra (born 10/4/09). The first one was taken shortly after she arrived home. The second one was taken on New Year's eve. We tried to get her to wear a costume, but she wasn't happy with it. The last two are more recent and you can see how much she's grown. She has graduated from Puppy Kindergarten and is a really good and loving dog. Hope you enjoy seeing the few pictures.

Regards,

Eileen & Walter

I just thought that I would let you know that my daughter Nikki was very excited to see her Christmas Puppy. She named him snuggles and he has became her best friend. She has been taking very good care of him, and he really wasn't too difficult to house break. He is like a new baby to our household. We love him dearly.

Hi,

Thank you so much for giving us such an amazing addition to our family. Destiny has brought us so much happiness and we absolutely adore her. Today, was her first vet appt. with us, she did wonderfully and the vet said that she was in perfect health. She is a brilliant puppy and has found a way to squeeze through the gate across the kitchen numerous times lol. She loves to cuddle, especially with Frankie on his little recliner, and will lay there for 2-3 hours at a time if we let her. She is getting closer and closer to being housebroken, yesterday she rang the bells on the door twice to go out! She has just recently mastered walking on a leash, it was difficult for her at first, but now she is doing great.
I am very impressed with how easy it is to care for her, she sits for bath time, brushings, and lays to get the hair around her eyes trimmed. She has recently learned to sit on command. Like I said, you have given us an amazing little puppy, and we will continue to give you updates. If you ever need anyone to provide a reference please let us know. Here on some pics we recently took.

Thanks Again!
Jessica

Just thought I would send you an updated photo of Milo(Dakota). Don't know if you remember me or not, but I was the one who drove from NC in the middle of the snow storm just before Christmas this past year. You said to email a picture now and then as you are interested in how their coat changes. Milo's hasn't changed much except around the eyes, as the brown has faded.

Milo has been such a wonderful addition to our family and has the best temperment anyone could ever ask for. He is very tolerant of our children who are always carrying him around and is quite content to just sit in our laps. My wife is jealous of the bond Milo and I have developed and has been looking on your website to see if there are any cute girl puppies available....while we both agree one dog is enough she has been very tempted to get a girl puppy to call her own.

Thank you again for giving us such a wonderful dog.

I recently recommended a friend your way, who is now about to get one of your new puppies, and it reminded me that I still haven't sent an update. We got Mia (your Tammy) back in November and she's been a joy! She's already got the housetraining down 100% (she rings a bell on the door when she needs to go out) and she is absolutely amazing around people! I can't thank you enough for how helpful you were for us. This was our first dog and you made everything so easy for us. Seeing Mia go nuts every time we get home from work is by far the best part of our day!

I've attached a few pictures for you. One before her first trip to the groomer and one after. If you ask me, I can't wait for her hair to grow back!

Thanks so much,

Matt

Hi,

I wanted to give you an update on Levi and to also send some pictures of him.

Levi is doing well...Megan is loving him so much....he was definately the puppy that we were meant to have!! He follows Megan everywhere. In the mornings after taking him out, he will run straight to Megan's room to see if she is awake. We are having some problems with seperation anxiety with him when my husband and I leave for work as well as Megan going to school. One of his favorite places to sleep is on a plastic container that we bought to hold all of his toys.

Thank you, take care and God Bless!

Hi-

I've been meaning to send some pictures but time has gotten away from me! Snookums has been wonderful and we all love her to death! She loves everybody and has a great personality. She can do basic stuff like sit and down, runs after balls, stands up on her hind legs. She's not too good about "stay" when she's in the mood to run! She's been groomed twice and is so cute afterwards. Last time she went to the vet she weighed about 5 pds. 12 oz! It's hard to believe she was so little only 8 months ago.

Thanks for helping us get Snookums!

Hello,

We purchased a golden retriever female puppy from your Dec 15 2006 litter. I just wanted to tell you how well she is doing. She is truly apart of our family. She is so smart and well behaved. She can do over 15 different tricks. She lives to please us and is a second mother to our infant daughter. Thankyou

Hi,

Just thought it was about time i gave you an update on how Molly & bailey are doing. They are doing great, but just like little kids they are into everything. They love to dig and are inseparable. Everyone who sees them, loves them and asks what they are and where we got them. How about this picture, aren't they adorable little devils?
I'll keep You updated from time to time.

An email sent on July 17th, 2007:

Hi, I'm just updating you on the puppy you sold me. Petey is a wonderful, wonderful dog. He's six months old now and he is a complete joy. Petey is my little buddy and he rarely leaves my side, we go every where together. I had no trouble at all house breaking him, I would say he was 90% housebroken at four months and completely housebroken at five months old. He is great with kids and adults alike, and he fears nothing! He loves going to the park with me and loves playing with my friend's boxer Gracie. I would just like to thank you again for bringing him into my life, he is my little buddy and I can't imagine a day without him. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures but he is getting much bigger! The last weigh in he had at the vet he was ten pounds. Thanks again, if you need me to leave feedback on a website or anything please let me know. Thanks again!

Good morning. Hope all is well. As promised and late, a couple of pictures of Tucker. One is with the kids when we returned home from picking him up. The second is just a couple of days ago. He has been great and has been a wonderful addition to the family. Hope all is well and will talk to you soon. PS he loves his toys and chasing things around the house, also we know when he is in trouble by the loud sounds of his paws hitting the floor when he runs away. Usually when he gets the kids socks.

I just wanted to send you a picture to show you how Bailey is doing. He's a
great addition to our family and is always excited to meet new people. He
also gets along with his Bassett Hound "brother", Rufus, very well. Bailey
is still the instigator you said he was, he's always starting the game of
chase or tug of war.

Thanks again for our friend,

They are both doing wonderfully! It was a fun car ride home. They were so cute together in the car, sleeping on top of each other and then doing tug-of-war on the toys. The larger one is named Bocci and he has had a house full of people to entertain him over the last few days. He's starting to get the hang of going outside, but doesn't like crossing the street yet.

Ours, Palermo - or Mo for short, has been just wonderful. He has only had a couple of accidents in the house and has been extremely happy and playful. Everyone raves about how beautiful he is! I have included some pictures of the 200 we have taken so far :)

We cannot thank you enough and I will definitely keep you updated with pictures. By the way he was only 10 lbs. at his first vet appointment.

Thanks!

Hi,

I was looking at your website recently to see what puppies you had and saw the pictures of your dogs sent in from their new owners. I just wanted to send you a picture of Lily (we got her from the May 2006 litter of Golden Retrievers). She is an excellent dog. She was house trained within a matter of weeks. She's excellent with younger children and loves everyone! She's extremely loving and friendly. She's about 70 pounds and she's like a bull. She's very strong and muscular. We've thoroughly enjoyed her and she's become a very important member of our family.

Hi,

Just want to send you a quick update on Balto. He is doing great. He has really settled in and has definitely become part of our family. His health is good and he is being a very normal active pup. He is growing fast and has gained a few pounds since you last saw him. His appetite was always good and it shows. Anyway I don't want to take up too much of your time but as I promised I attached some new photos to this email for you and your family. As you will see Balto and our son Anthony have become quite a twosome and he is well loved by all of us. Thanks again and enjoy the pics.

Sincerely,

The Bianks

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I posted I review for you on puppyfind.com. Maggie is doing fabulous!!!!!!!!! I don't think there is one person that won't fall in love with her when they meet her. She is so smart. I can't believe that in just one week I was already able to teach her come, sit and as far as house training goes she is a dream. By night 3 she was sleeping through the night. She and I enjoy early morning and late evening walks together and she is doing great on a leash. I couldn't be happier with how this experience has turned out. I just wanted to let you know that if you ever need to use us as a referral feel free. I have at least one person a day ask me where we got her from. Thank you for all of your help.

Thought you might enjoy this one..."kid's naptime".
Daisy and Duke are doing great! They are growing so quickly. We love them so much. They adore Stephanie, as you can see. They are best buds - the 3 Musketeers! I just didn't think two puppies would be so...so crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They got the potty thing pretty good. They have really adjusted well to their new home, and I am sure they know they are loved and are with us for the long road. They will be going on their first camping trip the first weekend in June. I am sure they will love it. We are going to Gettysburg. We will keep in touch, and send you pictures from time to time. Thank you for helping to fill a hole in our hearts. We were blessed to have such a wonderful companion in the past ~ now we have two~

Another lab puppy sold spring 2005 ~

Hi,

Forrest is doing great. I could not remember if he had his worm shots. I thought i read that he did, if not then i need to get him there asap. His first appointment went great. EVERYONE was telling me how adorable he was.

Last Sunday we took him swimming for the first time. What a great time he had, he slept the rest of the day. Unfortunately Forest has not seen his brother Augusta. Too funny they also named their dog after someone in a movie. I never saw willy wonka and the chocolate factory, but Tom tells me it's the boy who falls in the chocolate. How cute. Hopefully very soon we will be able to get them together.

Forrest has NEVER gone poopy in the house, peepee is another story though. I know that will come in time. When i get some more pictures i will send from his swimming experince.

Again thanks for such a beautiful dog.

Hi,

This is Amy M. I just wanted to give you an update on our Maggie. It has been a little over 4 months since we got her from you and we couldn't be happier. We had a planned vacation this past July and we couldn't believe how much we missed her and couldn't wait to get back home. My sister and her family took care of her for us and her children who are normally extremely afraid of animals did not want to give her back to us. They love her now and when they are at my house give her hugs and kisses all the time. Because of Maggie my sisters family, which normally prefer Labs., have decided that their next dog will most likely be a golden. We all check your website and puppyfind.com regularly. Maggie and I take 1 1/2 mile walks in the morning and night and I get more compliments on what a beautiful dog she is everyday. Her obedience training has been great. The only thing we need to work on is greeting other dogs because all she wants to do is play and tends to jump all over them no matter what their size. She thinks she is a lap dog and loves to sit on your lap when possible. We only need to crate her now when we are not home. I was told by our vet that usually most people after they get a golden get another one. I thought she was crazy when she said that, however, I have been trying to talk my husband into coming to you for another one once we are completely done with the crate for Maggie. I won't have to do too much pleading because the man who generally doesn't get mushy with our other pets has been seen giving Maggie many hugs and kisses. Well that is my update. And I Thank you so much for helping me pick what I like to refer to as my 3rd child!

Hi, We just wanted to take a minute to thank you & your husband for an absolutely wonderful puppy! Diesel is so well behaved & loving for being so young...no one can believe it! He is close to being house trained & is so great with our kids. He is very healthy & seems to love it here. This is our 1st dog so we had lots of questions. Both of you were terrific & we have recommended you to several of our friends. Thanks again & if any of your potential buyers need references feel free to call us. Thanks again, The Himmelbergers

(A puppy from Barney's July 1, 2006 litter)

Hi. Tomorrow will be a week already w/ our new baby Kali. She is so gentle and calm. She really sparks up when she see's kids. She loves them. She sticks to me like glue. I have been taking her w/ me in the car a couple times so that she is not home alone. Today I let her sit in the front seat w/ me and layed a blanket there and she loved it. I am going to do that from now on because she doesn't jump around from seat to seat. She is just so mellow. She fetches a ball already and sits most of the time when I tell her. She comes usually when I call her or clap my hands. And best of all(I don't want to JINX myself she for the most part seems house trained! She hasn't had one accident yet. She cries to go out when in her crate and has to go the bathroom and yesterday she just walked to the door and stood. I am amazed.

I also got her signed up for puppy school. It starts in 2 weeks.

She is beautiful. I will send you a couple photo's.

Hi,

It might have been my idea to get a puppy but my husband is totally
hooked on Bobby. He is growing so fast and seems to love his
surroundings. He is very playful and as soon as he is housebroken I
will say he is absolutely perfect.

Our vet actually never treated a Cavashon. She said it will be
interesting to watch him grow up.

Thanks again! We'll keep you posted as Bobby grows up.

Greetings,

Everything is going well with our little girl, Lambert. We couldn't be happier. She's seriously one of the smartest labs I've had. She plays with the ball every chance she gets, loves to play fetch, and has learned lots of tricks very very early on. She's also incredibly strong as we go for a 2 mile walk every night. We couldn't have asked for better. We figured we would send a couple pictures of Lambert. These are from about 17 or 18 weeks. She's 21 weeks now and already 46 lbs. I think she's going to be tall and very muscular.

Have a great weekend,
