Hey Carol, Dale,
Just wanted to let you know that the puppy I got from you was an absolute hit!!! We named him Tank, due to the fact that he is going to be huge. Tank has been great, and we have made him feel very, very welcome in his new home. The kids always play with him when I get home, and he comes with me everyday to work! He even goes up to the door and waits for us to open it up so he can go to the bathroom outside. We've decided to keep him on the same food that you were feeding him. Turns out it was the same stuff we fed Shep.
Just wanted to let you know that Mel and the kids are 110% stoked, and I even have to admit that I am too.
Thanks again, the buying experience was very easy, and you let me go with him with more than I expected.
Just a quick update, Cole, Mel, Raiden, Jude, and Tank
Good Morning Carol,
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that things are so great with Molly and we just love her to pieces :) Byron and I would just like to thank you and Dale again for allowing us to take the little girl into our family! She's such a quick learner - just this morning she ran to the back door when she had to go to the bathroom! I've attached a few pictures for you.
p.s. she really loves her naps! ha-ha.
Thanks again,
Sara
Fergie has been so much fun. She is so full of energy and really smart. She loves to snuggle with the kids. Thanks again for all your work and we will let others know of the great dogs you raise. Thanks again,
Quincy
Kilo is doing really good, she is such a good puppy. She was house trained within the 2 weeks since she came home, and she never whines or barks when we leave her in her crate. She has really gotten to love it here, and she and our 1 year old huskey are getting along really well. Thanx again, she's been everything i could have imagined, Pj
Hi Carol, Just thought I would let you know that Kimber is doing wonderful. She is such a great puppy. The kids absolutely love her and she loves them. She already sits on command and loves to play fetch. We took her to the lake yesterday and she was fetching a toy from the edge of the water (she just goes in with her front paws but still I thought it was good). There was three other dogs there and she did great. Dan Prins' dog "Rocky" (our friend that also got a dog from you earlier this year) was at our house the day Kimber got home to meet and great her with excitement. Thank you very much for Kimber , she is the perfect addition to our family. I have attached some pictures of Kimber!

A big Thank you to Dale who spent so much time building our big beautiful kennel, for supporting me and being there when I need you...
Thank you Dale
Hi Carol,
Things with the puppy are wonderful! She is an absolute doll. Her and our maltese are now becoming the best of friends, and she is initiating a friendship with our cat!
Just wanted to let you know that we did get to the vet last Monday and everything looks fantastic per them. Thank you so much for this little one, it has been fun getting to know her personality.
(Is that her picture on your website? I just noticed some new pics on your homepage and it looks like her. I wish we were able to adopt the other young lady you have, she looks like a doll herself!)
Take care,
Stephanie & Peter
Hey Carol just wanted to let you know how Macey is doing, she's great, everyone loves her ! She has settled into her new home and is full of energy, she keeps us busy :) Thank you again for such a beautiful puppy, we will keep you updated on how things go ! -Megan
Carol,
Well the dogs are 1 year old now. They are great, get alot of compliments on their looks as well as their behavior. Just thought I send a picture or two now that they are a year old.

Hi Carol,
Happy New Year! Just wanted to drop you a line and give you an update
on how Beatrix is doing. She is 7mths, and is an absolute joy. Each and
every day she makes us laugh and is a really sweet girl with a
wonderful disposition. After reading Marley & Me, I think we got pretty lucky!
She listens very well and does not get herself into much trouble at all
(aside from destroying a pillow- see picture below). She and our 16yr old
catare even learning to become friends.
Her eyes turned green and she has some white colouring on her back and
tail. She is approximately 50lbs, not sure if she'll grow much taller
or just fill out. She still has big floppy 'Dumbo' ears (which I hope she
doesn't grow into, because they're so cute!). She loves to swim and
fetch she has made many friends at the dog beach near our house.
We had a white Christmas in Vancouver this year (a rarity) and Beatrix
LOVED the snow. Her favourite pastime was chasing snowballs.
Best regards,
Keri

Hi Carol,
Hope all is well with you? I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our puppy!
We named her “Belle” and my son still calls her “Belle Puppy” as you suggested, (he says “puppy” is her last nameJ!)
She’s sure a beautiful dog and a very, very good listener. She is so docile, like you had mentioned. We are all very happy with our newest addition to our family!
Thank-you for our lovely Belle!

Hello,
We got our lovely lab from you last summer and he is doing wonderful. I'm so sorry we have not contacted you earlier. He is a great dog and is very loving! we are actually discussing getting another one! I have attached some pictures to show you how big he is getting. Notice in a lot of the pictures they are sleeping. He does that ALOT! I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful part of our family we have received! I check your website often, I'm trying to convince Tyler is let me get another puppy. We'll see if he gives in. hehe
Thanks again,
Dara
Hey Carol,
What a character our “little” guy has become. I quote “little” because at 8 months he is just shy of 70 lbs. He has no problem pulling our two kids around in their wagon. We still can’t get over how calm he is, and when we tell people that he is a purebred lab they too can’t believe how calm and well behaved he is. They also are quite amazed with his coloring. I have yet to see another Red Lab here in Manitoba. The only problem I seem to have with him is he does NOT like car rides. Making it quite difficult to take him anywhere, it usually becomes a wrestling match that I don’t win.
I would like to thank you for breeding us a wonderful dog. He is awesome with our kids, awesome with our visitors and makes a wonderful addition to our family. He is turning out to be a beautiful well behaved dog and we can’t wait to see how he is going to look when he is done growing. He is a good mixture of both Caesar and Foxy.
Hi Carol!
We absolutely love Harley. He's doing great!!! Friday night was tough - he cried all night, and I ended up sleeping on the floor next to his crate. The second night he did way better, and was up every three hours. Two nights in a row, he's been sleeping from 10pm until I wake him up at 6am to go outside! Lee's been working from home this week - so he's never alone. We're amazed on how well he's doing. We've already trained him on where to go in the yard - and he automatically runs to that spot to 'go' when we're outside!
Crate training is going well. We're on day four - and no accidents in the house (yet!). Harley already fetches - and returns the ball to us!
Gage is really excited - we're taking him to school on Thursday to show his classmates. :)
Thanks again Carol - Harley is an amazing addition to our family!!!!!!

Luna is fantastic Carol! We LOVE her so much! Enjoying all of what a puppy can bring into someones' life. Here are some photos!
She is doing great, her first trip to the vet, to get to know him, was on friday. She was so great, she is very easy going, and has moved into her new home with no issues. I can't believe we waited so long to get a dog! She is loving life, and is a happy girl. Thanks for everything! Cathy
Hi Carol,
Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to let you know how Harley is doing. We absolutely love him! He's doing amazing, and has settled into our daily routine very well. He is gentle, and loves the kids. Bree (3 yrs old) walks him around on the leash - and he follows her well! He's been to two show and tells - and responds great with different environments. He goes to the vet tomorrow for his second round of vaccinations.
Thank you again, and we'll be sure to send you some pictures!

Hi Carol.
It is with great pleasure that we contact you, to let you know how “Bear” is doing. I’ve also included some pictures of him most memorable times. Thank you so much for him. We love him to pieces, and he fits in wonderfully with the family.
Hi Carol,
We named our puppy Morgan. She is an absolute angel!! Believe it or not, but she didn't cry at all the first night home and she slept through the entire night. I was completely amazed!!! She's starting to get more comfortable with her surroundings and is showing a little more spunk each day. She responds very well to the word 'NO' already and she's doing so good with the potty training. She is such an intelligent little pup already and we're so proud she's ours.
Hello Carol,
I just wanted to give you an update on Red Isle Finnigan, he's great I spoil him apparently cause I m plumbing him up a little. He is actually coming home on a trip with me back home to PEI, we're flying, Hope all is well with you and your family! Take Care talk to you soon.

.Hi Carol,
Chris and I made it home a few hours ago and our children are so excited about the pups. They are thrilled with having 2 dogs!
I saw on the website your posting about Randi’s forever home. You will never have to worry about her as my kids have fallen madly in love with her and she will be spoiled rotten. Because she is so small they are fighting to give her attention. They love Earl too and he is busy following us all around the house. They were pretty good on the drive as Randi slept most of the way, and I learned the fine art of dog juggling with Earl in the front seat.
I have attached a picture for you of our new clan additions. Thank you so much . We love our puppies!

Just a few pics of Grissly's Springer (Springer). He will be turning 1 year old this month and I just wanted to share some pics of the last 9 months. He is such a beautiful dog.
Hi Carol,
I hope things are well and we just wanted to send you some photos of our puppy.
Attached are a few photos; we named her Casey. She is 4 months old now and getting bigger every day. We are enjoying her very much and absolutely love her. The amount of compliments we receive about how beautiful she is, is amazing In addition, Casey and Dozer have become
great friends! They love to chew bones, play tug-a-war with ropes, chase flies, etc. I am happy to report that she is not fond of chewing shoes (yet) but does enjoy digging with her big paws. She is going to be a big girl so we are enjoying her while she is still small.

Hello Carol
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for allowing us to adopt Sadie. She is a beautiful puppy. She is fitting in well, the kids love her and the other dogs…well they are warming up. Also I was wondering if it was too late to change her name. She just suited Molly…
Thanks again!!

Kaya absolutely loves camping. She chases after squirrels and birds, plays in the creek and goes for runs in the big field. In the evening, she loves to curl up on one of our laps by the campfire and just enjoy. I’ve included two pictures, one of her with my husband, and one with our son.
Hi Carol
Just wanted to let you know that our puppy (a chocolate from Coco & Reece) is doing really well. We named him Ranger. From day one he just fit right in and accepted his new home. He took no time at all getting used to his new surroundings. It did take him a couple of nights to get used to the crate but he likes to sleep there now. He gets along very well with our other dog, Bear. They play endlessly. He does love to chew and needs direction to the appropriate toys that are his to chew on but that's most puppies. The picture attached is from a little hiking trip we did last weekend. Ranger does very well on the leash.
I still enjoy your website and seeing your puppies
Thanks for Ranger

Hello Carol,
Just a note to let you know Kimber is now just over a year old and is doing
wonderful... We absolutely love her. Kimber loves to play in the water and go
for swims. She is very obedient, loyal and calm.
We have been thinking about getting Kimber a playmate. Possibly waiting until
spring time. So I was just wondering what you have planned for litters around
that time... Breeding pairs, possible colors ... etc.
I have attached a couple pictures of Kimber
Hi Carol,
Just wanted to let you know that Kaycee is doing great!! We love her so much. She has started puppy school already and is a very quick learner. She has even been swimming at the lake near our house. Thanks so much for such a great addition to our family K and P

She is absoulutely beautiful, we are so happy she is such a good listener and alway excited to us ! She definetly could make anys bad day turn out for the best. Thanks so much again Carol, couldnt image life without her
Hi Carol,
We thought we should send you an update on our puppy Morgan (from Shadow and Caesar’s litter). Morgan is doing great and she has been keeping us quite busy for the last couple months! We can’t believe how smart she is-she has caught onto all of her training very quickly. She is so affectionate and loves absolutely everyone. She always wants to cuddle and we have people over on a daily basis just to see her. She has been great with kids and other dogs as well.
Thank you so much for raising such beautiful and smart dogs. We are so happy to have her and we could not imagine our lives without her!
We will keep you posted as she grows up!
Take Care,
Mike, Brianne and Morgan

Hi Carol,
Just thought I would send you a little update on Beatrix. She is now 16 months old and 70lbs. However, she still seems to think she only weighs about 10lbs and loves to climb up and sit in your lap. She has a fabulous personality and has been an absolutely delightful addition to our family.
Hello Carol!
I just want to thank-you for such a beautiful, gentle, amazing puppy! We are so in love :) I was amazed how she adapted so quickly! Your helpful hints were followed and made things so much easier! She did so well on her first night! I slept with Matt on the floor beside her crate. She only 'cried' once. When I calmed her down by reassuring her, she went back to sleep.. other than a couple of bathroom trips during the night ;) I am just amazed how she seems like she has been here much longer! I am also blown away by our cat!!!!!!!!!!
I never have seen him so friendly towards a dog before...... ever! Willow is even trying to play with Tigger, and he is not hissing or fluffin up his fur. My Mom and I are just amazed how easy the homecoming has been for everyone! Thank-you so much for making this wonderful experience for us! We all are so thankful!
Jennifer :)
Hi Carol!
I checked your site today and realized that Kayla had babies again! We were wondering if they are all spoken for? Could you please let me know if any are available, and what color, etc. We would love to have a brother/sister for Kuro.
I've attached a pic of Kuro @ 6 mths when he passed his puppy training. He is now 8 months and weighs 83 lbs - a large, solid dog, but not as tall as his parents.
Many thanks! Kim
Carol,
I hope all is well and you had a great holiday and New Year's celebration!!
I just wanted to send you a photo album we have been putting together with lots of pictures...Lexi has been a great dog and has been a pleasure to train. She now sits, lays down, and shakes both paws on command. She also loves walks and car rides a great deal. She also likes to try and jump in the shower when I forget to close the bathroom door. She loves water!! And we are very lucky to have her.
She has recieved all of the her shots now (vaccine, booster and rabies) so next week will be her first trip down to the dog park. I will be taking her down there on a daily basis to give her her excercise and allow her to interact with other dogs. It should be a lot of fun!!
I also wanted to ask you if you have had time to register "Willow's Lexis Jade?" I am not entirely sure how it works. Will I recieve something in the mail?
Other than that enjoy the pics and I also promised you a couple of autographed items signed by the team. As soon as all the boys get back to town, I will put a few things together and send them out to you!!
Keep in touch...

Hi Carol,
Just thought you would be interested in seeing how Gordie (BUSTER) is doing. We have sent a couple pictures for you to see how much he has grown. He is 6 months old now and weighs 63 pounds and it looks like he still has lots more growing to do. I think he has a face like his mom (Sally) right now. He is a beautiful dog with a great personality. He loves people, never barks, absolutely loves every dog and is very well behaved (never leaves our side). Friends are very surprised at how calm our puppy is. Thanks again for a great puppy. Hope all is well.
P.S Just wondering if you have that picture you took of Jeff and I with Gordie, the day we picked him up. (end of Aug)

Dear Carol,
Hello from Northern Ontario! As you can see from recent photos, Penny (July 2009 litter of Griz & Tess) had grown into a beautiful, loving companion. Penny was a dream to train; she is calm, obedient, and loves to please her family. She took to crate training at night from the start, and within 3-4 weeks, she was fully 'potty' trained. Penny is quite smart; she knows several commands, and many words. In fact, she can easily identify her different toys when we name them. She is excellent with our kids and with our neighbors' dogs. She is now six months & perfectly healthy. She loves spending time outside with her buddy Golden Retriever Brass, as well as hiking & snowshoeing with us in the nature trails. I know that you must get this a lot, but we fell blessed and are certain that our pup was the pick of the litter! Thank you so much for letting Penny into our lives!

Hi Carol! Our lovely dog, Luna, is now a year old, and loving life! She has been the best addition to our lives, she brings us so much joy. Since first picking Luna up at Emelson, we realized that she is a very cuddly girl, who listens well, and loves to learn. This has continued throughout her first year. She is very smart, and loves the stimulation of learning. She has been an amazing teacher for us as well, for example, the lessons of slowing down and enjoying each moment, and she makes us laugh a lot! We look forward to our daily walks and playtime with her. Luna is a sweetheart, we wanted to let you know she is doing fantastic, and that we are so happy with our dog. We just cannot say that enough! Thank you! P.S. we have recommended you to everyone we meet who is talking about getting a puppy! Cathy and Darin
Carol,
I just wanted to let you know that I recieved Lexi's registration papers in the mail, so thank you. She is doing very well!! She gets to the dog park every day and loves to mingle and interact with lots of other dogs. I take her to Southland, Bridgeland and Riverside, so she has made lots of friends. She sits, lays down, spins around both ways, rolls over, shakes both paws and waits to eat on command. She couldnt be any smarter and she has been a joy to train.
As promised, I will be sending you some autographed stuff by the team. I will have to wait for training camp though because most of the guys are living abroad. We begin training on June 7 this year, so it will be probably July when I get it sent. Just giving you a quick heads up.
