	Hi mindy, here is a picture of Bitsy at 5 months... she just went and got her last lepto shot and will be spayed at the end of this month. She weighs 5  1/2 pounds. She is the love of my life. Bless you for bringing her into it! Cath
	Hi Minda - Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we absolutely love and adore Smokey (the girls named him!)! He is super sweet, has a wonderful personality and has brought us many smiles and laughs this week. He seemed to adjust very quickly to his new home and our other dog, Koda, is so great with Smokey. He's very gentle and patient and plays keep away and chase with Smokey. We are adjusting to having a tiny dog in the house as well – watching where we step, etc. He is awesome and doing well! Enjoy the holidays! Lorrie
	Hi Minda! Just a quick note to let you know that Beckett is doing great - growing like a weed! He is going through a stage of being all legs right now - he is adorable! Housebreaking is coming along . He is much quieter in the crate now. We went through one session of puppy-K, but we started it late and Beckett was the youngest and smallest in the class. He was very intimidated by the bigger puppies. So, as he is still young enough, we are going to do a second round of puppy-K. I want him to have the experience of being the oldest pup in the class. He also still seems a little immature to go on to a beginner obedience class. I want him to have lots of opportunities to be a puppy and just have fun!!!! He is very smart - sometimes I think too smart for me!!!! Could you give me your mailing address? I just have something that I want to send you! Hope all is well and that you are having a wonderful holiday season!  lauralynbrowndvm  (VET)
	Merry Christmas from the Disney's.... We wanted to forward you some pictures of Mylo. (Sugardaddy x Sydney). He has been such a great addition to our family. He is such a sweet natured little guy. He was out of Sydney and SugarDaddy's litter that was born 7/5/11. We get stopped all the time asking what kind of dog he is and how beautiful he is. Of course he drinks up all the attention. My husband has turned Mylo into a diehard Ducks fan so I included one of the game day pictures with his jersey on. We will be looking to add another puppy to our family within the next year so looking forward to talking with you in 2012. Thanks, Mark & Kerri Disney

	Hi Minda, I wanted to let you know that Yellie had her health check and passed with flying colors. Our vet had not had a teacup as a patient before and was charmed by her. We were his last appointment so he checked her out and then decided he just had to play with her to make sure just how smart she really is. He pronounced her a Very Well Balanced little bundle of attitude. Danielle and I both want to thank you for the many hours of laughter Yellie has given us in these short few days. I don't know how to thank you for this wonderful little bundle of joy. Kriss and Danielle

 

Hi Minda, just wanted to give you an update on Matilda (Mattie) formerly Skylers BtF1. She is so smart and well-behaved. Right now, she and Bailey, our Sheltie, are running around the pool table like they are possessed, having a great time. She is getting so big, and she loves people, and going for drives, and walks on the leash. The vet says she is perfectly healthy. My friends are impressed at how many commands she knows already. The other day my mother informed me I have two of the best dogs in the world. What else is there to say? Thanks! I wish we had room for another one.

	10/11 belgium Yes, thank you, it took me 4 hours to arrive there (from 5h30 to 9.30, one hour at the Airport, and 3 hours for coming back. I arrived at home a little time ago and have let them run and run and run in the yard till they had well explored it. Twiggy is friendly and like a little clown, not wanting to stay still on my lap, but coming joyfully each time I call her. I had to remember that they didn't speak French yet, because "Viens!" was not working, but when I changed it to "Come!" it was ok.. lol. Nanouk comes as well and she just wants to stay still on my lap and be loved.. lol. I think both are beautiful. We spoke with Reinier and Gea about the great job you have done. This is fantastic. Do you think that Teddy will be ok with the size for Twiggy? Otherwise I'll have also small beautiful girls for him in my current litter who will be a little bigger than him. Thousands of thank you again!!! Christie.
	10/11  Netherlands Hi Minda, Yes, we got them!! Both are so nice!! They both doing great, they follow my everywhere I go. I am so happy with them. Thank you so much Minda, for all you did for us. Will send some pictures and an update soon. Regards Gea
hes 2yrs old..	Hey Minda, I wanted you to have a nice picture of Darwin that I just took this past weekend while he was playing out in the cat pen (I have a pair of bengal cats and he and the male get along really well, so he always goes in with me when I feed and clean). He is turning out nice and pretty, his coat is coming in, but he only weighs 4.5 pounds. Summer
	Can't believe he has been in my life for just a little over two months. He is PERFECT. Loves to ride,short or long. Loves to go to the nursing home where my husband is a patient and is a super star at the facility with both patiernts and employees. And aside from hisoutgoing personality is quite handsome and a great companion. Coulld not have done beter if I had written out specificfations for him

 

	sept 18 11 Hello Minda, I thought that I would send you a message and some photos to update you on our wonderful toy pup Klaus. We have been doing great and experiencing many new and exciting things. Klaus is now a bit over 3 months and he is almost 5 lbs. He is such a sweet little guy and he certainly LOVES to be around his family. We have tons of fun together playing in the yard, going on walks, going to the beach, taking naps, and even swimming! He is a great little swimmer! We have had such a great time together and my boyfriend, David and I have really enjoyed adding Klaus to our little family. Thank you so much for helping us find out perfect little pup! Sincerely, Megan
	Minda, Thanks again for allowing us to get Bogey and Duece from you. Here's a couple pics of our buddy Tobey that we lost in January. He won our hearts and is the reason that Aussies will always be a part of our lives. My sister, Beth Skaggs and her daughter picked up another puppy from you Monday afternoon and love him too. If there's anything we can do to show support for you folks, let us know? Have you considered putting your website on Facebook too? You could get tons of posted support there, I'm sure. I Anyway, thanks again. Keep up the great jog. Tim & Luan LaLonde Vancouver, WA

Hello Minda, Steve and I are having a great time with the new puppy. He is absolutely beautiful! He is calm and happy. I cannot believe how fast he has fit right in around our place. We set his little bed area up on our front porch and before the first week was up he already has no accidents! He goes for a 2 mile walk with us each evening and sticks very close without using a leash!! His health his perfect and we will soon take him in for his last shots. Our 2 grandkids are staying over a few days and love the new puppy. We are thinking “Arthur” now as his name because he is like a little King! I will send a pix or 2 along with this note or to follow this. Thanks again Minda for everything. p.s. the shipping and all arrangements we made with you to get our puppy were so easy and prompt and he arrived safe, sound, and happy! Thankyou sincerely, Dellie & Steve

Dear Minda,

I would like to express my sincere pleasure and appreciation of your professional and caring attitude regarding the purchase of our beautiful puppy Skye.

From my first contact; to your follow up phone calls regarding the safe shipment and health of our puppy, I found that you are a truly caring individual and a responsible professional breeder. I took my time finding the right individual to purchase the puppy I wanted, it was a good decision.
  Just a little background about me that you were unaware of during our transaction ~ I managed the animal shelter in Jackson, Wyoming for 10 years before moving on to the Investigations Section of the Police Department. During my tenure at the shelter, I personally adopted many of those animals, some were perfect pets ~ some, not so perfect due to poor mix breeding and other problems. Certainly there are many animals available from animal shelters, and I still highly recommend adoption from them. However, I wanted certain attributes, intelligence and stability that I knew from experience is very rarely available from a local shelter. The puppy we purchased is certainly fulfilling everything I wanted in my new companion and more.

Thank you for providing quality family pets for those of us wishing to choose size, temperament and breed qualities that suite our lifestyle.

Sincerely,

Mary Lou

Minda

Maggie had her first vet visit and she is a happy healthy puppy….. Our vet wants to see how she looks in a few months and may be looking to purchase one “just like her” soon

Do we get a “discount” on our 2nd puppy if we refer enough people to you? lol

Hi minda,
wanted to let you know jack is doing great, hes such a great puppy. he barks a lot and thats a good thing. he's healthy and such a rambunctious joy to have.
I was thinking of getting him into some agility classes, he can jump really high so i think it will be something fun for him to be in. thank you so much again for my little happy jack puppy, everyone loves him. he can be very shy around other people but is also very curious. i like that he is shy and how attached to me he is because i can walk with him without a leash and he stays right by me and has never run off. It's nice that he does this because there are lots of rabbits in my neighborhood.
thank you, hoping to get a red mural colored puppy someday.
