Just a Few Letters from Satisfied Customers (references available):

Thanks so much for the visit! We loved your place and I am soooo excited about the puppy! I wrote down some of the reasons I decided to purchase a dog from you. I was very impressed by: -hip certification -you obviously care deeply about your dogs. Anyone that would stay up all night long with their dog while she takes forever to have her pups is very committed. (one of the places I visited just let the dogs have the puppies whenever out back in the kennels and checked on them in the morning, which is probably okay, but....). I was very impressed with the whelping room you built and the boom box!! -I liked the fact that you weren't as concerned about breeding for color but put your emphasis on temperament and quality. -you so far are the only place that had us disinfect our shoes -the photo album - you want to see what your puppies grow into! I really like the idea that I can stay in contact with you. I got the impression from a couple of other breeders that once they sell the pups, they weren't too concerned. - you made us feel welcome and took the time to show us around, answer questions, etc. Thanks!!

(Nisa x Cain pup) Just wanted to send you a quick line about Juneau. He is doing great and is such a good pup. He's a confident little bugger, so far nothing has scared him. He is very attracted to people. On the way home we took him on a few short walks and he always tried to follow people. He would whine when Alyssa was out of sight. He's pretty pretentious but he is listening. Right now we are working on housebreaking and doing pretty good, as long as I'm in the position to be able to take him outside once every hour or so. He had a few accidents the first day and since then, hasn't. We're taking him to the same spot and using lots of praise and an occasional treat. Right now we are working on what is acceptable to chew and what isn't. He's working on my moose jawbone right now. He will try to play bite us and I am discouraging that. He took to his crate right away, he went in to it on his own accord. He likes to be underneath things, especially when sleeping, so that was a natural I guess. He's waking me up only once or twice a night to go potty and then settles pretty quickly. I had forgotten how much puppies sleep during the day. So no complaints!! Everyone is telling us how beautiful he is! I am telling everyone how GOOD he is! Will send a photo soon.

(Cado x Timbo pup 3 months old) Fritzi is doing great. All 27 pounds of her. She has learned to sit on command and to shake hands (paws). She is close to being house broken (she does know what is right & wrong). She loves to go in the car (truck) and rides great (we keep her in a travel kennel when riding). We are extreemly happy with her and very pleased that we came to you folks to get her.

(Meika x Samos pup 3 months old)I wanted you to know that Ascher is doing great. We do plan on coming to some more classes, we just wanted him to get a little bit older. Ascher is currently enrolled in a puppy class at Petsmart and he is the star of the class. He learns most things really fast, but coming and droping are still issues, he is very dominant. He also likes to chase cars and still has major issues with the cats, do you have any suggestions for this? He hasn't had an accident in the house in over a month and he can now go through the night in his crate without any problems. In fact sometimes it's hard to get him to come out in the morning. He weighs 40 lbs now but his weight gain is slowing down a bit. His ears are up but lean in because they are so big, I expect them to drop again when he starts getting his adult teeth. Hope to see you soon and I'll send pics. soon as well. I also refered you to a neighbor. Ascher is our neighborhood center of attention, everyone wants to meet and pet him and all the other dogs want to come over and visit. Ascher is great with kids and he is really gentle with other dogs. He plays with another puppy in class that only weighs 5 lbs, but they are best buds, it is very funny to watch them play.

(Veska x Onyx pup just 2 days after going home, 7 weeks old) Just wanted to let you know Emma is doing great. She is such a sweet dog. We think she has grown already! She seems longer. I think she was a little homesick yesterday morning, but is still doing well. Much easier transition than we had planned on. She sleeps in the crate in our room at night and has done pretty well. Last night we were only up a couple of times. She is even housetraining well. By last night she was going by the door and dancing around. We have only had two accidents! We keep a pretty close eye on her. I think she really prefers to go outside. Yesterday it was beautiful out here so she got lots of time with us playing in the back yard. She was getting brave and checking it all out. Today she is having a quiet day. I am off, but took the kids to daycare. They keep her quite busy when they are around! She was sad when they left. She even likes her crate. We keep that blanket in there for her to lay her head on. If she lays down outside of the crate the kids cover her up like a baby. We leave the door open and she goes in when she needs some alone time.
