| Hi Jeff and Laura, We just wanted to update you on Diesel. He is getting big and his walk is still goofy, but he's full of energy and from day one loved us and our other dog Alie. They are together all the time. He's getting more and more adventurous, but is still afraid of the vacuum and when a car backfires. :) He is so smart and learning very fast. Hopefully he will be the hunting dog Jarred was hoping for, but until then his energy keeps both of us and Alie in shape. Thank you so much for all the information you gave us through the process. We've actually recommending you to several families when we take walks and they comment on Diesel. I've included a picture of Diesel and Alie. It was taken shortly after we first brought him home. Thank you again for everything. We love him so much and was a perfect addition to our little family. Carissa and Jarred |
Good morning I finally have pictures of Amber to send you. She has grown and she settled in just after a few days. She is a hunter, we had wild rabbits on our property and she chases them. So now we don't have anymore to deal with. We love her very much. Mary Spires |
Laura & Jeff, Rock at four months old. His training has been proceeding extremely well. He will sit and stay with voice or hand signals. He will also sit and come by whistle. We have been practicing short retrieving sessions with training dummies only. Last week I started working on doubles. Probably to early but he will pick the closest return and retrieve the next on command, no blind retrieves. |

| TOMAH IS NO LONGER THE 75 POUND LANKY SPAZ THAT HE WAS IN THE LAST PHOTOS OVER THE SUMMER. HE IS NOW A VERY WELL FILLED-OUT 105 POUND SEMI-SPAZ WITH A BEAUTIFUL BROWN COAT. HIS MOTHER WAS QUITE SUPRISED WHEN HE REACHED UP TO TAKE A PIECE OF MEAT OFF THE KITCHEN COUNTER WITH ALL FOUR PAWS STILL ON THE GROUND. THAT ALSO EXPLAINS THE PICTURE OF HIM IN HIS 'TIME-OUT' CORNER.AS YOU CAN SEE HE IS QUITE A HAM FOR THE CAMERA. THE INTERNET IS ACTING UP SO I WILL HAVE TO SEND THESE AS MULTIPLE EMAILS - SORRY. FEEL FREE TO ADD THEM TO YOUR ONLINE PHOTO ALBUM! THANKS BRIAN AND STACEY AND TOMAH JAYNES |
| Hi Jeff and Laura, This season we are truly thankful for Scout. I'm sorry I haven't sent you updates before now, but want you to know how blessed we are to have her. She has such a great spirit. She loves people and everyone comments about her beauty, expressive eyes, and gentle nature. She has enriched our lives and is teaching my boys a lot of good lessons in how to care for her responsibly and graciously. he is a great addition to our family and we dearly love her. Scout enjoyed her summer in her new home on the Little Spokane River. She had a great summer going daily with my boys to their daycare on a 60 acre horse ranch where she became friends with the nine horses, 2 dogs and many barn cats. She now has a best friend next door, her name is Maggie, a 6 month old Labradoodle. They spend much of their time running the property and playing in the river together, then inside to lay by the fire and be with the family. :-) I play in a bluegrass band called Wild Oats and Scout was invited to be apart of our photo shoot for our band promo posters. I'm sending a photo we took with her. She is very photogenic. :-) I'm also sending some other photos I thought you might enjoy. Have a blessed holiday season. The Standleys :-) |
| Baci Is doing great adjusting to new home. He is a smart little puppy. Taking to crate pretty well and I already have got him sitting and staying most of the time. I did take him in to his first vet visit yesterday... He sure is smart. He slept through the night last night (pretty awesome on his 4th night away from home) and accidents are few and far between. He is already sitting on command most of the time and we are working on “stay”. Here is a picture for your collection. Best regards, Marc |
| Good News! Many of you know that we have been waiting for several months for our puppy! We are so excited to welcome Nicki into our family! She is sweet, mellow and very lovable. She already knows how to "sit". And we think she will be a good bird dog as she is already chasing the pheasant wing Chris bought at Cabella's! Nicki will be 12 weeks old this week. :-) Amy |
| Hello! Good to hear from you. Hawks is doing amazingly well. We taught him to sit and come when we call his name- that's a lot for only having him for a week! He is the sweetest puppy. Hawks follows us around, always by our sides, and loves to cuddle. Puppy Kindergarten starts tomorrow afternoon so he will be learning and playing with lots of puppies. The class is for 10-18 week old puppies, so they will all be around his age and size. I attached a picture of Nate, Hawks and me. Let me know that you receIve the picture! -Kaitlyn |
| Hello to you Laura and Jeff. I thought I would send you an updated photo of Kenai so you know how big and healthy she has become. It is tough for us to see that small puppy that we had not so long ago grow into the very well built dog before our eyes. My wife Kristine and I cannot praise you enough on how well bred your dogs are. We have talked many times on getting her a companion from your litters sometime in the future. Thank you again for such a joy in our life and a great companion. Take care, The Nicholls |
| Last week we went to the lake for his first swim. After some encouragement and splashing on my part he was in and swimming. I should have stopped but wanted to see if he would retrieve. We started close to shore and he bounded in. The next toss was just far enough to swim. Each time he returned with a retrieve to hand. On the third throw I tossed it about 50'. Rock retrieved it to my amazement. I couldn't have asked for a dog with a better disposition and ability to learn. I'll try and take some action photos. Take care, D Giusti |
| Thought I would send you a couple pics of Louie. He is great. We are working on the potty on the floor but the poo has been all outside. When he sleeps he is just dead weight. You can move him wherever and he just keeps sleeping. Super funny. Hale Family |

| Hi Laura! Thank you sooo much for our adorable chocolate lab! We named her Keira and she is doing great! Here is the family photo! Merry Christmas and thank you again! Chelsea Hershberger |
| Hi Jeff and Laura, I hope you are both doing well. I think of you so often and am so happy I found you. Marly (chocolate girl) is such a joy and her and Gus just LOVE each other. We love having them a part of our family. Molly Schoenbachler |
Cooper has been absolutely great and we just love him! He has his 1st vet appointment tomorrow so he can get his 2nd set of shots and check-up. He also has his first day of puppy training tomorrow as well! So it will be a big day for him...and us! Mindy and Duncan Marsh |

Cajun is doing great, she had to grow up fast since I had to put my GWP down do to cancer. She did not last as long as I thought she would. Cajun is heeling on the leash and sitting when I stop, dragging the light weight check cord around and sometimes carrying it my mouth. She loves it when I get it out because she knows she is going out on a field trip. We do practice come with the dog whistle and tone button on the collar already. She loves to come on the whistle and comes verbally also. She is still a puppy and looks at me and smiles sometimes. She is kennel trained, and that is home during the day and spends time in the crate in the am for a hour or so until my roommate gets up and takes her to the kennel. That way she is getting used to both. Oh by the way we went for her first boat ride on the Snake River last weekend and while pulling the boat up she went swimming and so we retrieved the ball four or five times and called it quits. She has her wading pool so we can practice retrieving the dummy from the water. She is a good dog and is at the terrible two's now, loves to chew everything. Wanted to send you a couple of pictures also. Kent and dog Cajun |
| Jeff and Laura, I have been meaning to send a few pics of Gus for quite some time now. It's been a crazy summer, kids all over the place, oldest daughter wedding, etc... Here are a few pics of Gus(feel free to post on your website). He is a VERY LOVING, and VERY BUSY, guy! He is such a happy guy and magically puts a smile on everyone's face! Congratulations on the 2 new litters, VERY CUTE!!! We'll be back for another(Donna already has a name picked!) Best Regards, John and Donna |
