Hi Carrie, She is doing wonderful. She is adjusting very well. You can see she has Made herself at home moving things around for us. She and our Topbrass Golden Taco Belle and our silky terrier, Kachina are all Becoming the best of friends. Potty training is going super. The first Two days were crazy but in the last two day only 1 accident. That is great. Carrie, I don't know what your other babies looked and acted like but Jeff And I feel certain that we got the pick of the litter. She is everything that we Needed and more. We couldn't be any happier. I will keep you updated on Her. Again, thank you so much. We love her and couldn't be happier. Oh, I have to tell you something she did. When we brought her home on Sunday, We took her in our back yard to check things out. We hadn't been out for more Than five minutes when she suddenly noticed the pond. She took off full speed And jumped in. It was frozen over and she slid across it finally breaking the Ice and dropping her little bootie in. It was so funny. She has such a fun Little personality. We have laughed at her so much. Thanks again and keep in touch. Melissa and little Claireese

Hi Carrie! Yes, everything is going great! She is such a wonderful baby! And growing so fast and she is so smart! We feel like she is potty trained already and she is following basic instructions now. I am taking her to the Houston Humane Society on Friday to have her microchip, spayed, booster shots, and rabies shot done. I will let you know how things go on Friday and thanks so much for keeping in touch! Have a great day! Heather and John

Hey Carrie, Overall things are very good. She’s gained 10 pounds in the last three weeks and our 2nd trip to the vet confirmed her good health, updated her shots and impressed the vet with her intelligence and good manners. She tends to go ‘puppy’ on us from time to time but everyone that has met her before is impressed with how much she’s learned. We’ve employed Bark Busters which is an international chain of dog trainers based out of Australia. They call themselves the ‘holistic’ approach to training dogs which means little to me except that she seems to be getting it and from what the vet tells me she’s getting it earlier than most dogs he’s encountered. I have to tell you that almost everyone we meet on our walks around the beach, which she absolutely loves by the way, comments on what a beautiful dog she is. I even had one former breeder tell me she had never seen such a good looking puppy. She’s made herself at home as you can see in the photo we’ve attached and we’re hoping to have her completely housetrained by the time we move into our new home in early June. Thanks again for everything Brian

We were just saying last night we should update you on how wonderfully Chloe is doing and how well she has fit into our family and routine here. She had her 12 week check up yesterday and if course her 8 week and 10 week shots before that. The first visit she was 13.6 or .7 lbs. the next visit she was 18.3 lbs and yesterday she was 23.6 pounds. She is all legs right now and reminds me of a newborn colt when you see her walk from behind. She has already learned to sit and to retrieve a tennis ball over and over and knows her name already.. She is ALMOST sleeping through the night without having to go potty. She goes to bed at the same time as us( we bring her kennel into our room at night)and sleeps from 10PM until about 4:15 AM. She'll sleep later if she got a ton of exercise that night. She'll sleep well tonight. After wrestling with Gussie all day and playing tug of war she went for an almost 2 mile walk tonight and after a rest period on the sofa she wrestled with Ron and Gussie in the den. We don't have a digital camera or would have sent you photos by now. We just finished a roll of 35 mm and will get extra copies. Our son will be over this weekend and hopefully he'll bring his digital with him!! If all the other puppies are doing as well as Chloe you have absolutely nothing to worry about! She is a pure delight! Thank you for bringing such joy to our house! All the best, Elaine and Hi to the rest of your gang!

Carrie, She is doing wonderful! She is housebroke, sleeping great and loving her new Sisters. We are just thrilled with her. She has found a special place here with us. What a smart little girls she is. Jeff has had her out working on her retrieving skills And commands. She is so eager to learn. We have been amazed at that. You don't Have to repeat over and over with her. Just a few times does the job. I hope her littler mates are all doing well. Have you heard from them? We are just amazed And thrilled that we got the pick of the litter. Jeff and I have said that so many times. She is so smart and beautiful.

At 3 1/2 months Chloe(Gabby's yellow) was 29.2 pounds. Her shots and boosters were completed then and she goes with us to Ft. Woof in Ft. Worth every weekend and absolutely loves it! She's going to her 6th of 8 puppy training classes tomorrow night.She is a model student there! Except she gets a little excited! There are just three other puppies in the class. A St. Bernard!, a chiuaua (sp??), and a toy dachsund. At Ft. Woof Gussie (our 8 yr. old ) is very maternal and protective and she follows Chloe everywhere and just watches over her. Chloe is coming up on 5 months in a couple of weeks and has her spaying surgery scheduled for June 2nd when she will be just over 6 months old. Most mornings I sit on the floor beside her while she eats her breakfast and I read the paper and drink my coffee. Our other two were a tad jealous of this at first but are okay now! We took a few more photos this weekend will send them on soon! Thanks again!! We hope Gabby, Macy and Deezal are well! Elaine and Ron Shumate

Hey Carrie, I was going to email you tomorrow. Things are great! She is a wonderful dog who is kind and patient with the kids. I take her for a walk on the beach @ 530 every morning just to wear her out a little but every time the boys come home from school she hits 5th gear all over again. I had her in for a weigh-in on Friday and she topped the scales at 49 pounds and she’s not even 5 months yet. The vet was wondering how big Gabby and Deezal were to get a gauge on how big she should be so we can keep her weight in line? You’re more than welcome to use the photos I’ve already sent or I can get you an updated photo if you’d like. I’ve told a number of people in Atlantic Beach about your web site so don’t be surprised if your next litter has a few headed this way. Brian

Hi Carrie! She is absolutely marvelous! We love her to pieces and she has fit into our family very well. She is growing like a weed, now weighs over 30 lbs and is at the clumsy lanky stage. She is potty trained and is almost through the nipping biting stage. Yea! She has not been destructive at all and loves her rawhide chewies. She does have a thing for paper which makes life interesting in my office when she comes to work as she takes paper and runs around with it! But everyone loves her so I think she is doing more of it for humor than anything else! She loves the pool and regularly swims with the kids and John. She is getting along well with Autumn, our calico/tabby mix cat and likes to sleep with us, hogging the bed of course! J We couldn’t be more pleased with her! Thank you so much for checking in on us. Hope all is going well for you and your babies too. Attached are some pics of Bailey. I will send more and please keep in touch on how you and your babies are doing. Heather and John

Good luck with the breeding ! I forgot to tell you, Ft. Woof where we often take Chloe and her sisters is the nation's #1 dog park. We also go on long walks and adventures in three nearby big parks. She can now sit,stay,come,laydown,drop it, leave it and shake! What a smartie! EVERYONE asks where we found her! You should be very proud of Gabby and Deezal's litter! Later, Elaine

Carrie, Here are a couple of photos we shot this evening before bed. As you can see she has really grown! The Vet tells us she is perfectly proportional and that she could be as big as 80 pounds when it's all said and done. She's also very, very smart. She rings a bell we hung around the door to let us know she needs to go outside and I swear she wakes up at 5:29 every morning for her daily walk. Hope every other puppy is as happy and well adjusted as Libby! Brian

We love Mollie- she is the best dog!! I suprised my son at school that afternoon and he was so excited, will be sending you some precious pictures, she is so spoiled already. For some odd reason she loves to sleep in the bathroom, maybe because the tile floor is cold. She is great with the kids and loves to run next to their wagon!! thank you so much. Will keep in touch! Mel

Dear Carrie, Duke is great. I have not seen him for 30 days as he is away at doggie school.I will get him back and give you a report in about another month. He should be ready to go the opening day of dove season. Right before he left, I spent two weekends at a local gun club driving him around with a golf cart on a sporting clay range while shooters shot clays. We started out well behind them and ended each day beside them. he heard 500-750 shots each trip. No problems with being gun shy.

Carrie, She’s been wonderful and is just getting easier day by day. I thought I might be sending her back to Texas after she chewed the most visible and expensive piece of molding in our new home...but those great big puppy dog eyes and the way she loves my boys and the way my boys love her won the day with my wife! She loves to lay in the front yard and watch the world go by and she really loves to go to the beach and get a bath afterwards. She’s a beautiful dog and now that I’ve paid you...you need to charge more. Your puppies are the most beautiful and picturesque dogs I’ve seen and we have a bunch of Golden Retrievers in Atlantic Beach. I’m sure your other customers would tell you the same. Brian

Hi Carrie, Hope you are all doing well. Just wanted to give you an update on Clairereese. She is doing wonderful. We took this photo yesterday at our property in Northern New Mexico and wanted to share it with you. She is growing and learning new things everyday. We just love her. Take care.
