Hi Bill,
Dalton is totally making himself comfortable here. I am definitly the mommy person.
He had is vet check yesterday. He is perfect (as I new he would be). He got his shot and wormer tablets that I am supposed to feed him called interceptor.
He is eating well drinking lots and is as I knew he would be very good at the potty training thing. Every time we take him out he does his thing. Chuck only had to take him out twice last night.
Our little Jack Russel has been very good with him and our wienner dog is just cranky at his age. He stays by my side all day, and has chosen a spot next to my side of the bed for his naps.
Talk to you soon,
Tracy


Hi Bill,

Just wanted to let you know that Dalton is wonderful! He is a bundle of energy, love and teeth!! We are having so much fun with him. He and our Jack Russell are keeping wach other busy. Thank your daughter for all the love and attention she gave him. He just loves to be held and cuddled. Won't be long before he is too big for holding!


Tracy


Hi Bill,

Haven't you gotten any of my emails?

Dalton is awesome! He is growing like a weed and eating well. He has gained 5 to 7 pounds. He is doing great with the house training. Uses the dog door on his own. He sleeps like a baby and is ready to go at 6:30 in the AM. He loves to be held and cuddled. Thanks to Alexis I am certain! He and Fiona our Jack Russel play well and my daughter has a puppy that is about 6 months old and they just have a grand time together. Tonight we were all at my parents home with our dogs 5 total and mine are all played out and ready for bed. Tomorrow I will send some pictures for you. We need to down load them still. Also we may have snow this weekend so keep a look out for snow puppy pictures.

Thank You sooooo much for breeding such magnificent animal! We couldn't have made a better choice.

Till tomorrow, Tracy


Good Morning Bill,
I saw Daltons picture. He is beautiful isn't he? He got to spend a few days with a friend of mine this week while Chuck and I were on Catalina. She is in love with him, and told us not to bother coming back!
I see from the sounds of your website that you still have China. The friend I was inquiring for earlier is interested, but in this economy can't relly afford that much. Would you be willing to let her go for less?
Your new puppies are gorgeous!!
Dalton is getting his rabies shot today. They are having a clinic at our local park. He is huge!! I new he would be but somehow I am still amazed at how quickly he is growing. He seems to be gaining about 10 lbs. a month!! I would like to take him horse back riding with me. Is there an appropriate age to start that? Talk to you soon, Tracy

Who is momma to the new pups? Yes they are stunning puppies. Too bad I can't have another right now!!
I am not sure but I will ask her. She is the one who kept Dalton for us this last couple of days. She is an animal lover and would be a great mom for her.
She has been on disability for the last year fighting cancer. She is cancer free now. and will be checked regularly. Whatever help you could give I know would be apreciated.
Yes, I have been taking Dalton around the horses. He is fine with them and they don't have any aversion to him either. He does however like to eat horse poop!

Hey Bill, Dalton is awesome! On his first camping trip, he showed nothihg but perfection. He was admired by all, and he didn't leave my side or sight. He showed little interest in the skunks !(Thank God!!)He loved the water and was just amazing! It's the first time he has been away from the little dogs so it was fun to see how well he did on his own. I really had no idea he was so well trained already. He is sooooooo smart! We love him soooo much! You breed amazing dogs! Thanks!!

Ranger

ranger-001.png ranger-002.png ranger-003.png


Hello there,

Thanks for the inquiry about Ranger.  He is the best.  Super smart, STRONG-willed, friendly, etc. Easily twice as big as when we picked him up.  And very strong already - on the lease when he pulls I have to hang on:) I have to be really on my game to be constant as the leader though, he takes every advantage when I slack off!  Great with the cats - not aggressive, just lopes after them, and they stay just out of reach to tease him.  One of these days one of them will swipe at him, but until then, they are being bratty to him - they feel a bit left out as he is the main focus.

Here's the scoop with the vitamins.  I appreciate that you believe in the product and that you have seen great results with it.  I am not a believer in vitamins, or minerals, outside of food unless there is a health issue as the industry is not regulated.  The foods now also have all these things added, and too much is not good either, in my opinion.  I am feeding him a blend of foods, homeopathic, with the main staple of Royal Canine which is developed for each stage of his life.  Lastly I spoke with my vet and she doesn't see the need either.

I realize that this voids any warranty with you, but I am totally ok with that.  I truly hope this doesn't sour our relationship as I would love to keep you in the loop with his progress - he looks so much like Shaq - and he is learning so fast, and just such a great part of our family.

Hi to Alexis, have a great week.

Lori

I was reading outside went to get some water and came back to this. He is about 11 months here. Thought you'd like to see it. I am still trying to get a photo for you of him standing. FYI he has now claimed this futon. Oh well - one piece for furniture is ok;). He gets lots of compliments on his looks. And his great temperment. Thought you'd should know that too

Hope you are all doing well

Hello Bill,

Things are going very well. We are having a great time with them. We took them to Dr. A and we have begun the puppy plan with him. They got their third shots and we have scheduled their next ones. Their personalities are blossoming and they are acclimating to the home very well. They are crate trained already, and we have begun training them basic commands and they are learning very quickly.
Cleo is a big eater and King is a big player. He is almost indifferent to food unless he sees his sister eating and it becomes a game to eat as much as her. Unfortunately, he can not compete. What he lacks in appetite he makes up in a desire to play and curiosity.

We will send pictures soon. Take care and thanks for such great dogs.

Will & Maricela


Hello Bill,

Here is a picture of Cleo and King at 10 weeks. They are doing great. Pretty much playing, eating and sleeping in two hour intervals. They make it through the night with out a whimper and have not had any accidents in their beds. They are fairly low maintenance dogs and a constant joy to be around. Other than their strong fondness for the by product of all that eating ( if you know what I mean), which the vet has told us is normal with some pups, we have no complaints. We are working on training them through that issue. We are looking forward to sharing the new additions to the family with the rest of our family during Thanksgiving. They are doing great with all the neighbors that are visiting us and they do very well around children. They are some of the most mellow puppies I have had. Thanks again for providing us with two great new family members.

Take care and have a happy Thanksgiving


Hello Bill,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family. Marisella, the dogs and I are doing great. Cleo is just shy of 40 lbs and King is right behind her at 36 lbs. They are growing like sprouts and we are having fun. The staff at Dr. A's told us we just missed you and the pups sibling on friday, when they got their last booster shot. I wish I could have seen her. I bet she looks awesome. The pic of her on the site looks great. Any offers on her yet? I tell you what, if Marisella would not kill me for dropping another XXXX on a pup in these tough economic times, I would. These dogs are the best.
We just saw Marley and Me at the theater today and we are so grateful our pups are so well behaved. They are picking up basic commands real quick and once they get their rabies shot we are going to enroll them in obedience training. I am sure they will excel. If I find a course that works well I will let you know.
We will send you more pic's soon take care and have a great holiday.
Will, Marisela, Cleo and King.

Hello and happy New Year. I just saw the video of the new puppies they look great. Dr. A's assistant said you have 7 males and 1 girl. That's quite a pack. Cleo and King are doing well. They are 5 and 1/2 months and old and just under 65 lbs. We always get a great response when we walk them together. They are really a good looking pair. They still have their floppy puppy ears. Cleo is maturing really nicely and seems to be getting her adolescent coordination while King is still all puppy. We plan on taking some pics soon and sending them to you. I hope the people who have their littermates continue to update the pups progress, I am eager to read how they are doing.

I am still working on finding a good trainer. We had them evaluated by the trainer who contracts with my employer. He said exactly what you told me about the type of dogs they are. In other words they are excellent pets. Cleo is growing very protective of the house just as you said she would be and King is always right there with her backing her up.

King has really bonded with my wife and has become her little body guard. They are both usually very sociable to people and animals alike. They never hesitate to meet new people and are usually overjoyed to make a new acquaintances. But, a couple of days ago Maricella was walking them both by herself. A man with his dog approached them and engaged her in a conversation. All was well until the man moved in a little closer and violated what King thought was their personal space. He immediately let him know he would come no closer and began barking at him. Cleo joined him in their mutual objection to the mans overtures and he promptly went on his way. When Maricella told me the story I must say I was very proud of them . They maybe easy going pets and social butterflies but when they need to be they are obviously showing the beginnings of a pair of natural protectors.

Take care and we will send the pics in our next E-mail

Wishing you and the family well

Will , Maricella, Kingston and Cleopatra

Elsa

elsa-001.png elsa-002.png elsa-003.png elsa-004.png


Hi Lane, Elsa is doing great. She just got her third series of shots. However we had a question regarding her shots. We would like to get her vaccinated for Lepto (Leptospirosis), but our vet wanted us to make sure that she had not yet received that vaccination. Also the vet wanted to know if her parents ever had any reaction to the Lepto vaccine? She is a wonderful dog, and a beloved member of our family. Attached is a picture we took a couple weeks ago. I thought Alexis might particularly like the picture. David




Shiloh

z1-001.png z1-002.png z1-003.png


Hi Bill and Lynette, Shiloh is settling into her new home. She is a typical puppy! Quite the wildwoman! Had her to the vet yesterday for her health check up. All appears to be well with the exception of very soft stools. Not sure why this is happening - unless its just an "adjustment" thing. She is eating well (the New Balance food) and she is getting her daily vitamin. The vet took a stool sample and I should have results today. He put her on an "intestinal diet" (essentially chicken and rice) to get her stools straightened out. Other than that he said she looks like a great pup with great personality. She got lots of oohs and ahs by all the staff. Will let you know more as I know. But so far - all is well. Kind regards, Caroline

Hi Lane,

Thought you would like to know that Shiloh is growing into a big beautiful girl. She really looks like her daddy. She is about 42 lbs right now and is full of energy!!! She is keeping my other older girls on their toes. We had her spayed last week and she handled the procedure fine and is recovering well. As soon as I get some pictures processed I will send them along. Everyone she meets loves her -- and thinks she is beautiful -- which she is!! She loves all her toys and she loves to go to the dog park. She has made quite a few buddies and loves to run with those long legs.

Anyway, just wanted to give you a quick update. By the way, if you do have a copy of the picture you took of her and me when we picked her up -- I'd love to get a copy (first baby picture and all that!!)

Regards,

Caroline

Hi Lane,

We are all doing well. Ms. Shiloh is still growing. She is now as tall and long as my 13 year old. If I had to guess I'd say she weighs between 60 and 70 lbs. She is utterly enthusiastic about life and everything in it -- kind of tough on my older ones but they usually manage to stay out of the way! We have been going through a tough period of time for me at work and at home but I think it is slowing down now to where I should be able to grab some updated pics of Shiloh and send them on to you. Please give me about two weeks. But Shiloh is happy and healthy and beloved by all. Right now we are working with a trainer just to put some polish on those manners! She is a very smart girl and really very good -- just still has a lot of puppy in her yet and can be a bit stubborn and willful.

Hope you and yours are doing well!

Caroline

Hi Lane,

AT LAST! Pictures of Miss Shiloh. I'll be sending them in a series as for some reason my computer won't let me send all at once. Here's the first. I believe this is Miss Shiloh lounging by the pool (taken this weekend)

Kind regards,

Caroline
