Bentley   Jenna and Petes puppy   9-09

Hi Trudy,

Bentley is doing great and we've definitely bonded. He brings us so much joy and not to mention free entertainment. He's gotten so tall already but doesn't always have control of his limbs so he's fun to watch. He is pretty much house-trained as he hasn't had an accident in over a month now and we've been giving him more freedom in terms of places he can be in the house. He is very playful and affectionate. When I take him for walks everyone says how friendly and well-socialized he is.

Again, I can't tell you how thankful I am that you crate trained him before he came to us. He goes into his crate no problem and sleeps the whole night without needing to be let out or soiling his crate.

We had a scary night 2 weeks ago when we had to rush him to the emergency hospital. Our townhouse association put out rat poison in the neighborhood without telling us first. I was walking Bentley and saw that he had picked something up in his mouth. I didn't know what it was but found out later that it was rat poison. Although I took it out of his mouth I couldn't be 100% sure that he had not eaten anything so we still took him in to the vet to make sure. He is o.k. and all the tests came back normal. Phew!

He has been going to puppy kindergarten classes. While he excels at agility and the obstacle course, he is not very good at listening to me..or maybe I should say I'm not good at getting him to listen when other dogs are present. The trainers say I need to work more on establishing pack leadership so I've been really working on getting him to give eye contact with me on walks and also using "Nothing in Life is Free" training methods. He really has an alpha personality (tries to hump males and adult dogs!!!) so I'm working on making him understand his place in the pack. In another 3 weeks when he's fully vaccinated he'll be going to doggy daycare twice and week and to the dog park the other days so I'm hoping that will help him not be so dominant.

Thanks again for giving us a wonderful puppy.

Many thanks and blessings to you and your family,

Hershey- Misty and Peter the Greats-AKA - Sampson

Took Hershey to the Vet on Tuesday....our Vet was so impressed with what a fine beautiful specimen of a standard poodle that he was and that he had such a nice temperament!!!  He had a clean bill of health with the exception of hookworms, ....he actually slept all night in the crate the first 2 nights for 5 hours....last night he was alittle whiney, but that's to be expected.  His mother is thrilled with him and thanks you very much for such a great dog!!!!  We will send pictures when we get them off the camera and onto the computer. Again, thanks! The Shawls

He is doing so great!  We love him so much.  He weigh 51 pounds now and is as healthy as can be.  He loves to chase our cats maybe a little too much but other than that he is just the sweetest thing.  We will surely be dedicated customers of yours.  We are still thinking that maybe in a couple of years we'd like to get another one.  I also think we are your best advertising source.  Everyone that is around Bennie loves him so much and we give them all the info on how to get one just like him!  I do not have any more recent pictures right now but next time I do I will email you a couple of them.  I hope all is well with you and your family.  Have a great day!

Hello, Trudy!  I thought you would like to see an updated picture of Benny.  We just adore him and he has been a great addition to our family.  He had the best temperament and is so loving.

Barkley and Roxy Churchey 4/20/09

Barkley was purched last year from our Parti litter he is awsome looking Brown/White Male and Roxy was just purched by the  CHURCHEY Family this year 09'  The look awsome together. 


Jeeves "George"

Here are some pictures of Jeeves.  We named him Jeeves.  Jeeves is a butler in a series of books by P.G. Wodehouse, and this beautiful puppy is so sophisticated we thought that would be an appropriate name.

He is a wonderful, smart, well behaved dog and we let him sleep in the bed with us when he wants to.    Thank you.     It's snowy here and we just came back in.  They love to be out in the snow.  They ran and played and now (phew) they are napping.   Hope all is well with you and all your babies!   Pam


AKIO-(Lilly and Reno's)

Everyone has fallen in love with him.  He is so cute.   He is more than what I expected!   He has been playing with all his new toys.   Barking at the little dachshund mix to get her to play and they have been.   Went potty outside.   Had a bath to clean off all the dog slobbers.     He is now sleeping on his new dog bed (as you will see) covered up with his new blanket surrounded by his toys (my son did that)   He is wonderful.  I can't thank you enough.    And will keep you updated.         Angie     2/09


Wolfgang
Autumn puppy

Trudy,

This little Wolfgang has turned our life in a new and wonderful direction, thank you.

Hi Trudy,
 
How goes everything with you? Wolfgang continues to grow and learn  many new things and teach us a thing or two as well! Here are a  couple of pics from his first hair cut... nothing too serious, just to get him used to the idea. The groomer did his face, feet, bottom  and underside, leaving his body hair alone. She was overly impressed at how well-behaved and calm he was during the whole time on the  table (we had a "mobile" groomer come to the house so as to not have 
to leave him at a shop all day... he would miss his feeding, walk, etc.... not worth it... it took her about an hour). Actually, 
everyone everywhere has said how wonderfully calm he is... I can't explain it other than to repeatedly thank you for this incredible  gift. Most of the time, he is a little black lamb, full of love and affection... then there are the times when he becomes the BLT (black  lamb of terror), LOL, running around like a wild one, barking  (laughing) all the way. He certainly is a character!
 
Somedays, it does get "old" to have him attached to my hip  (everywhere I go, he is right at my side or tangled up in my legs,  smile) but I realize this is a good thing... he just wants to be in my life in every possible way. I'm anticipating when I can bring him  to rehearsals but just not yet... still too young.

Testimonials        

Trudy,

That puppy is amazing. I changed her name to Guinness.   I drove her to my mother’s place in Cleveland Ohio.  My mother instantly fell in love with her and who couldn’t resist her charms.  My mother changed her name to Coco Channel and calls her Coco for short.
I know we are still having a little bit of trouble with the potty training but she is making strides at 10 weeks.  On a side note,  the Congressman that I work for called me into his office the last day that I was in DC in December and said “Matt, I think your dog is making a political statement against me”  and I ran into his office and Coco was peeing on his carpet looking right at him.  Kind of funny.  She is such a great dog and is so smart.  
I should say that my mother is taking great care of her but, I think Coco is the one running the show.  She gets two long walks a day and lots of loving.  She is also very expressive and often voices her concerns when she likes something or doesn’t.
Needless to say that I am very pleased and you sold us a wonderful dog.  Our vet really was impressed with her as well.    She is sooo smart.
So we usually always have two dogs at my Moms.  I think I may be interested in another standard poodle puppy in about a year. 
Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful dog.
