I wanted to give you an update on our puppy Shiloh. He has slept through almost every night since we brought him home. He's a real lover and we're all having a great time with him. I'll attach some pictures of him for you. We were at a parade in Waukee today and saw an English Golden Retreiver. In talking to the owner we discovered she got her dog, Cooper, from you (he's about 7 months old) and his Dad is Moscow as well! It's fun to see what Shiloh will look like in a few more months.

Here are some cute pictures of Zeus...We love the faces he makes, I call them his "Smiley", "Angry", & "Wolf" faces. He's just perfect, we've been training him to ring his "Poochie-Bells" to let us know he needs to go outside and go potty. Yesterday he went down the steps to the front door on his own and started ringing them. He's VERY smart and learns so quickly it's amazing. He knows to come, sit, shake, don't touch (so he doesn't bounce on our smaller cat Brazil), & most importantly, he knows the bathrooms outside.

I saw the video of Moscow on youtube, he looks wonderful and is so gentle with your granddaughter...thanks for sharing. Well enjoy the pictures.

I just wanted to thank you and your husband for showing me your acreage yesterday. You two have a wonderful place to raise your dogs and they are ALL just beautiful happy dogs. It was obvious to me that you and your husband love your Goldens and treat them wonderfully.

Some of the pictures we took yesterday turned out so well i wanted to share them with you. I especially like the picture with Red resting his head on Blues.

All the puppies are wonderful and you're right they're all great picks of the litter. I am very happy that Blue helped me pick him out...he's such an awesome puppy and we can't wait to bring him home.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful packet of information from you. We received it on Monday. The timing was perfect since Faith visited our Veterinarian , Wilson Veterinary Hospital, yesterday. The entire office, including the persons in the waiting room, adored Faith. The two Veterinarians were extremely impressed regarding the testing you have done on Faith's parents. If you would like to send me more of your business cards to provide to the veterinarian's office, that would be great.

The pictures of the puppies taken by Keith Kimberlin look like Faith. Are the puppies on the folder your puppies?

We are really enjoying Faith. Our son, Jeff, just adores her, as well as everyone else in the family. My daughter's 9-year old Cocker Spaniel, Lady, who has been grieving the loss of our 14-year old golden retriever, Nala, is beginning to get over Nala due to Faith's wonderful personality.

Finnegan is a fantastic puppy--so smart! Already knows sit, outside, kennel, potty, etc. He is so cute sitting with the big dogs for a treat! Only two accidents so far, & those were both on our way outside to potty. Dry kennel at night. Has adjusted to the kennel just fine (it took about a week). Now he just runs right in there to get his treat when I say "kennel up!" Clancy loves him, and lays on his back so that Finnegan can climb all over him and chew on him. Keeva is much better and has stopped bossing him so much. I'm afraid Finner is going to be a chewer--he chewed through the speaker cord on the computer already, despite having a ton of chew toys! Love him to death! Thanks so much.

Hi Cathy! I just wanted to touch base with you about snowball who we adopted from you. She is so wonderful!! We are "almost" fully potty trained and still use the crate. She is so sweet though. So loving. She is gentle with the kids and a snuggler. I am so happy we met and I was able to adopt her from you! We are looking forward to having her for a long time. If you want to see some recent pics check out my facebook. Btw there is another 2 year old english creme right down the street from us! We found out the neighborhood dogs meet weekend at the big park to run around and play together. We are going to start that. Again, thanks for everything. She is wonderful and we love her to death. Feel comfortable that she has a good loving home and she is spoiled rotten!

Thank you so much for the card, the pups and your grandchildren are too cute! Everything here has been going well. Flannigan is growing rapidly and is just a really great dog. He is about 65 pounds and the vet thinks he still has a long ways to go. We go for walks everyday, visit a dog park a few times a week to play with other dogs and just have fun all the time. Kylee and I know we made the right choice by getting him, neither of us could imagine not having him in our lives. I am attaching a couple of pictures that were taken in the last month. ( the last one is from this summer ). Thank you so much.

Sofie and Butter's puppy born May 14, 2008

I received your letter, asking about how Bella was doing. She's wonderful. We kept the name Bella, and she is now about 7 months old. She is a wonderful little girl. We had her fixed a couple of weeks ago, and we had no problems after surgery. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful dog. She is smart, loving, and eager to please.

For Halloween, she was dressed up as a football player and went trick or treating with my girls. She gets a lot of enjoyment out of chasing the squirrels in our yard:) Our cat is finally starting to warm up to her, and the kids love having Bella along when I drop them off for school. She weighs about 40 lbs. right now, and I wonder if she will be taking more after her dad than her mom.

I've taken some pictures of her in her Halloween costume and while she perches herself up in her favorite window. I tried to attach pictures to this email. Let me know if they come through.

Thank you so much for the care you take in breeding. The quality of your breeding is evident in Bella. Have a great Holiday. We'll keep you updated.

Here are some more pictures of Leo. He is a wonderful dog. He is great with the children. He loves to play and is very healthy. Thank you so much. If you still need recommendations we would love to help. Thanks.

Cathy is a great breeder. She explained everything to me before I received 'SUGAR', and she explained all the questions I had. I had experience lost my puppy 10 days after he came, so I called Cathy so many times, and she answered perfect every single question I asked. 'SUGAR' came in perfect condition, and she is adorable! She is really friendly, and she loves to swim. She welcomes all the people who visit our home, and she loves to give love to people. She is my joy! Cathy also answers questions when I have something to ask her even after I receieved 'SUGAR'. I spent so long deciding which breeder I recieve my dog from, and I made right decision! I'm so glad I got my baby 'SUGAR' from Cathy! Thank you, Cathy!
