Hello Alana,
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
Brent and Breeana R.

Hi Alana,
 
   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.

Alana,

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!

Denny and Petey

Alana,
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.

Alana,
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,
Dawn & Brian Grose

Alana,
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!
Angela

Hi Alana,
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 Alana,
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 Alana,
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.

Alana:  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 Alana,

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 Alana,
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, Alana. 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)
Alana,
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.
