Hello Kim and John,

We're just back from a camping trip in Algonquin Park with our dog Hazel and thought we'd send you a few pics. She's a great dog and has fit into our family perfectly. She is admired and complimented wherever she goes.
Thanks for choosing her for us. We can't imagine having any other dog.

Thought you might be interested in hearing about the pup..He'sonly a little over six months, but he is turning into quite a gun dog.He is green broke to wing and shot. His points are high front and backwith a 12 oclock tail. He held a point at the CVVC gundog championship for the better part of five minutes while I chased a quail around a treetrying to get it to flush. The judges were quite impressed with him not much with my flushing abilites.He's a big independent runner, and for now I am not going to try and rein him in.I need to tip my hat to John and his breeding program. None of his intensity style and desire came from training, that's all in the breeding. He was by far the youngest dog entered in the gundog stakes, but impressed enough to get an honorable mention......

Subject: Update and thank you!
Hi Kim,

Just wanted to let you know that “Benson” is doing wonderful! We were a bit hesitant to tell you that we thought you sold us a “super pup” since you might want him back! He was house trained by Wednesday nightJ He is absolutely perfect for us – very playful, affectionate and smart.

I think he was happy to see us leave for work this morning as he was pretty pooped from the long weekend. The only thing we were wondering about was his food. He doesn’t seem to eat very much – ¼ - ½ cup for breakfast and a bit less than 1 cup for supper. He likes to eat dirt and other things outside instead so we are watching him carefully. I assume when he is hungry he will eat more?

Thanks again and hope all of the other puppy transitions were as smooth as ours!Colleen

Hello John and Kim,
Happy holidays, and hoping your 2009 is wonderful. Thought I'd give you a bit of an update on little Frank. What an INTELLEGENT creature. Unreal. We have a bell tied onto the door, and when he needs to relieve himself... he rings the bell. He is doing great with Sitting, staying, shaking paws, rolling over... he absolutely LOVES to please us! He knows that we laugh and love it when he rolls over so, he even tries it with my brothers dog... If the other dog has gotten mad at him for trying to take his toy etc.... Frank will do a few roll over's and look for approval from the other dog.... HILARIOUS... and oh so cute. The crate training is going well, we have set back days (and nights) but all in all, I am going to be so happy when he is all trained up.... and doesn't have the barking fits when we walk out of sight, or when he is in his crate (mainly happens for first 5 minutes or so) in car, or when he needs to go in when he's not so tired.... in any case... we're sticking with it. He learns so quickly, and has totally stolen Bryce and my hearts.
I cannot thank you enough for allowing us to give Frank a home.
Thank you again,
Erin and Bryce (and FRANK!)

Hi Kim and John,

I just wanted to give you a quick update on Gucci... She is doing awesome and is getting over her nervousness around new people, friends of mine can't believe the difference between her in September and now. She has quickly become the centre of my life and I go to school every Monday with new Gucci stories for my students and they are constantly asking to see new pictures of her. I now believe them when they tell me that their dog ate their homework because Gucci has eaten a couple of assignments that I have brought home to mark! She is very much the velcro dog and never lets me out of her sight when I am home and even though I try to explain to her that she is not a lap dog she just doesn't seem to get it but that's ok with me. She is loving the snow up here and has even gotten stuck in some deep powder a couple of times! I've attatched a couple of pictures of her in her favorite spots; the snow, the bush and the couch. Thank you again!!

John:

Our household is relatively back to normal since our recent litter of pups are all settled in their new homes and doing well. Considering the success we have had to date with Bree and Ranger (2 pups from our first litter) with Puppy Group placements and Group Placements in the show ring, and the natural ability they have for the field, we are sure the owners of this litter will be as pleased as the owners of the first Lil/Thorn whelps are.We thought we would take this opportunity to thank you for allowing us to use Thorn for breeding to Lil, taking such good care of Lil while she was with you and also for the great pup you sold us in Romeo. You have really allowed us to put our kennel on the map.

Thinking back to the first time we toured your kennel in search of a stud for Lil, we will always remember the cleanliness of your runs and buildings. What blew us away was the great condition all your dogs were in and how well socialized they were! Please feel free to use us as references for any future clients you may have. As the saying goes "the proof is in the pudding",

Hi Kim,
How are you? Just wanted to pass on a quick note to say Charlie is doing well and we are having such a great time with him. He just passed his first puppy training class and we are set to start the next level. It is crazy how fast he has grown. He's like a mini man already and in his sister's face every chance he gets. It's been nice to have some fun and laughter in the house again.
