Just wanting
to let you know that Nellie is doing great! She is so smart and adjusting to her new home just fine. It's amazing
how quickly they adapt and train their new family!
I've attached a few pics from Thanksgiving
day. We quickly found out she is much like a wind up doll in that when she unwinds she goes to sleep immediately,
wherever she may be.
We got her to our vet Friday morning and thought they'd never let
us leave. All the nurses had to spend at least 5 minutes with her. Her doctor was very complimentary.
Hope you are enjoying a good Thanksgiving break and we'll keep in touch as Nellie grows.
Thanks Again,
Russell & Vangela
Yeah, I know. I watch
her very close but she was at my x's house on Tuesday and with her dog and I think she may have eaten some big dog
food possibly. She is great now and is a really good dog. She is potty trained, but not totally house broken. She can go
8 hours in her crate at night without waking up or crying and it is totally dry. I have her trained on her name, she can
sit on command, and we are working on down, she also understands no / uh uh already when she is in trouble and can
do a basic walk on the leash. I spend alot of time with her every day and take her on at least 2 long walks outside a day
even in this cold weather. It is a small world, but I met some people across the street and her daughter has one of your
puppies that is now 5 or 6 months old. They moved to Arkansas. I can not remember her name, but Dakata played with her dog
over Thanksgiving and she was a great puppy as well. I have alot of pictures and will email you some later tonight or tomorrow.
She goes to my vet on Wednesday for her 8 week check and shots. .
Take care...

Hi Steve, Just recently, I told Frank that we've had Mack almost a
year, as it's easy to remember my birthday present last year. Mack is awesome, Steve. This morning before dawn, we went outside
to do his business, and afterward, he made a beeline for the end of the driveway to retrieve my paper. As you know, he has
done that since we brought him home, when the paper was bigger than him, and he'd drag it all the way back to the house.
Now, he jets out there and dashes to the garage door, pushes it open, and sets it down, waiting for me to return. Frank
really, really likes him too, and we find ourselves telling "Mack" stories all of the time.
I know
your previous customers tell you how smart and wonderful their own puppy is, but I'm not exaggerating in telling you this
one has extreme intelligence. His ability to understand English vocabulary is incredible, and his memory is also
amazing. But mostly, he is sweet and gentle, and he has taken to Boomer very well. Actually, we're so glad they have each
other, because they're compatible and entertaining.
Mack is quite large. He weighed 95 pounds the last time
we took him to the vet. He is so much slimmer looking than Boomer, but he's taller and weighs about the same.
How
are you doing? We often check your website to follow your latest breeding. "Jake" and Mack look like twins.
I can tell you one thing for sure. Your house creates the most beautiful labs I've ever seen. They are amazingly white,
alert, and so sweet-natured. We love Mack very much, and it's the best birthday present ever for me. This year, come March
29th, I'm going for a 100% recycled organic composter!
I hope you will stay in touch. I enjoy hearing from you.
Take care, Jan
hey Steve,
just wa ted to let you know how things were going with the puppy. she
is doing great. We named her Maggie. she is pretty much potty trained. she goes to the back door and whines when she
needs to go out. Dad was shocked when he saw her. he lovesher and she follows him EVERYWHERE!! Our big dog Scout loves
her too, she sleeps next to Maggies kennel when she is taking naps. i attached some pictures.
Hope all
is well with you and your family

Hi Steve, Everything went even better than expected. Gunner
and the kids slept all the way home yesterday. He got along great with my other dog, they had fun playing and he was very
much accepted. I'm not sure he knew what to think of our cats, he just sat down and looked at them for the longest time.
(they are outside cats so I didn't let him get too close yet until he knows what to expect). He cried in his crate for about
15-20 minutes at bedtime, then slept till about 11:30 and I took him outside and he had to go. He then cried another 15 but
slept well after that. I get up about 4:30am so I actually woke him up, took him outside and he went again and we played
for about a half hour - he was then up for the morning and helped me get the rest of the house up and going. He went to work
with my husband today, and will for awhile until he can be in crate for longer periods. Believe it or not we have had no
accidents in the house, we have watched him close and think we know his dance and have taken him out at the right times.
I love his temperament, he is not too awful hyper and so loving. He is quite funny and is already playing fetch with a stuffed
toy duck. I was wondering if you had him on a feeding schedule or just left food out for him to graze.
We are very
very happy with our choice, he is everything we hoped. What a great addition to our family! I will keep in touch to let
you know how he is growing up. Thanks so much! Julie
