WILSON...

London, Ontario

Hi Sonia we bought Wilson from you on Nov 11th 2005 and I just wanted to send a pic of him and give you an update about him.  He is just over 4 and a half months now and is almost 40 pounds!  He is going to be a BIG boy!  He is the love of our lives!  As you can see from the pic he is the cutest dog that EVER lived.  People stop us in the street to meet him and ask questions, he is friendly with everyone.  He's had all his shots now and is a delight to the vet, they love to see him coming in because he is so well behaved!  He will be going in when he's 8 months old to be neutered and chipped as per the recommendation from the vet.  We also took him to grade one training classes.  He is an extremely smart dog and knows all the basics off by heart sitting, standing, laying down and he walks on his leash like a pro (never pulls).  He was at the head of his class.  Sean and I are thrilled with him and neither of us can imagine our lives without him we love him so much.  We will be enrolling him into grade 2 soon.  Also, had his first grooming experience last weekend and the groomers at Petsmart went crazy for him. there were customers lined up watching him thru the window to see him get a haircut.  They did a great job and he strutted out of there like he owned the place.   

He is a blessing in our lives!

CLOE,

Klienburg, Ontario

I just wanted to drop you a quick line on Cloe who we adopted from you in January. Words cannot describe how pleased we are with this lovable sweetie. She is so affectionate it is amazing. She has already learned to shake her paw and sit and even stop on her own at the corner of a street when she goes for a walk. We are still working on the "stay" and "down" portion of her training. What makes it so difficult is when she looks at you with her big eyes and makes you laugh. We refer to her as our big bear because of the big paws and the way she strolls she looks more like a bear than dog. She has also learned that when my son's and only my son's alarm goes off to go and start licking his face to wake him up. It saves us a whole lotta trouble to get him up. I wish I could have photos to show you but the digital download process is not working right now but I promise to have them for the next update.

Thank you very much for saving her for us we could not be more happy.

HANNAH

Kingston, Ontario

Hi Sonia She settled in nicely over the summer and grew up so fast I could barely believe it! She weighs just under 60 pounds and is a light blonde colour. She loves everyone and everything without discrimination. Hannah plays everyday with her dog friends at the park. She is a very sweet and well behaved little lady after very consistent and positive training over the last ten months. She has recently graduated to being out of her crate 24/7 and is exceptionally good at not chewing anything other than her toys and bones. Hannah was fixed in September and tolerated it very well. She got clipped very short in November and had to wear a funny jacket with the weather change. It took some getting used to, but she doesn't mind it anymore. I can't believe how smart she is or how consistently affectionate. We just have the best time together, she was the reason that I bought a truck and we spend a lot of time outside. She likes to come cross country skiing and hiking with me. She loves camping and chasing squirrels. She has changed my life for the better in so many ways and I'm sad that you don't get to see what a good dog she has turned into. If you are ever in Kingston, you should give us a call and come for a visit!

I hope you are doing well, Meghann and Hannah

MURPHY

Cambridge, Ontario

Hi Sonia, I can't tell you how great it is to have Murphy as part of our family. He came as a gift from "Santa" this year for our son (6 years old) and they are an inseparable duo. They do EVERYTHING together. Murphy has the run of the house now and doesn't need the crate anymore. He has never chewed anything other than what we leave out for him (well, there was the hair-dryer incident but he's learning...). He is incredibly obedient and enjoyed by our entire family and all of our neighbours. We have completed Headstart and Grade 1 dog training and are moving on to Grade 2. He is such a smart dog - and sooo quiet. He hardly ever makes any noise. We are stopped on the street constantly with people telling us how beautiful he is. Our son's class at school knows him by name and asks where he is when he's not there to pick Riley up at school. I really can't tell you how amazing this dog is. The vet report says he is incredibly healthy and strong and he was even complimentary of his demeanour. I have attached a couple photos of Murphy at 6 months of age (he was born with your Sept. 27th litter from KeeKee).

Thanks for such a wonderful addition to our family.

NELLIE

Nellie was part of your F1B November 4th litter. She turned 5 months today, she is now 34 pounds.
 
Nellie is a delight.  She is very loving and smart. She was housebroken within two weeks of her arrival (we got her at 8 weeks).  She has not had one accident in our house since 11 weeks old!  She has been very easy to train in terms of behaviour. She is very friendly and confident.  She loves all dogs and people. She likes to have a ball thrown for her and to take long walks.  Snow and rain do not deter her from being outdoors. She is very affectionate and yet can be on her own when needed. She was very accepting of her crate from day one.  She is great with our children and their friends.  We have nothing but good things to say about her temperament.  She has been in excellent health. Although she had some tear stains when we got her, that has completely stopped. She is a beautiful dog who attracts attention wherever she goes.  

We love her and we thank-you for letting us have her!

Hi Sonia, we wanted to send you an update on our two new BABIES….Marky and Molly Doodle. Yes that’s what we call them. We wanted to first thank you for all of your help when we were in the “pregnant” stage with our puppies. We asked you a lot of questions and you never made us feel that we were silly for asking. Letting us come and see the Mom’s and get to know them played a big part in making us comfortable when we came to make our selection. So again, thank you for all of your patience and knowledge when it comes to the Mommies as well.

Marky and Molly. Well how much fun can you have? They are great puppies and we are so happy that we got two. We questioned ourselves at first but as soon as we came home with them we knew getting two puppies was the right thing to do. They are pretty much inseparable now even though they aren’t REAL brother and sister. We enlisted some local dog trainers to help us keep control of these two bad @#$#! And it seems to be paying off.

They are very smart and let me tell you cute. We have taken them places and can’t get past the front door. People want to stop and pet them and love them up because they are so cute and cuddly. Their personalities are totally different. Molly is full of spunk and will wiggle her butt off at anyone who comes near, where Marky will sit pretty and to tell you the truth, we think he just doesn’t have the smarts to realize how cute he really is……

Our 5 children couldn’t be happier with the new additions to the family and we can’t thank you enough for playing a part in making our kids happy, both 2 and 4 legged kids!

Sincerely,

Todd, Christine, Marky, Molly, Joel, Jessica, Lauren, William and Taylor
