Dear Barb,

Here’s another photo of Annie (Emmy/Captain) and Reagan (Jasmine/Captain). They have so much fun playing together when they can. I can’t wait until the weather warms so they can spend more time outdoors.

Dear Barb,

While I am downloading some pictures, I have to send one to you.

Leo is a charmer, lover and people dog. He has lots of loving from Larry, Luke and I and can’t decide who he likes best. His new challenge is staying in the yard with his Pet Stop invisible fencing. We have had to turn it up several time and the neighborhood dogs and kids still are too tempting some times. Mostly he stays, though.

We love him and I am looking forward to better walking weather.

Greetings to Russ,

Cindy

Barb;

This is Reagan again this year. She is beautiful. I am going to get her involved as a therapy dog after the first of the year. I have many compliments on her. She continues to be a wonderful puppy (Jasmine/Captain). She has the run of my house, never jumps on furniture or destroys my belongings. She is a little tough on soft dog toys however.

Hi Barb,

Hope you’re doing well! Just wanted to pass along a few new photos of Tucker (Captain/Jasmine July ’08) and a quick update. He ran in his first annual “Reindeer Run” 5K around Lake Harriet this last weekend. I can’t tell you how enjoyable it is to bring him around large groups of people/dogs and watch him interact. He’s so well socialized…gentle and calm with little puppies, small dogs and kids; playful with his large dog peers; friendly to everybody. It makes me proud to watch him do his thing, and I know he absolutely loves it! I’m looking forward to the next puppy from you this spring.

Hi Barb – Our family was the lucky recipient of one of Captain and Jasmine’s litter from April 2007 (now know as Stanley). Stanley has been such a wonderful addition to our family and is such a great dog! He doing very well is extremely responsive to our daughter’s activities. I thought I would send a quick picture of him lounging with our older daughter Mackenzie. We continue to check your website as we enjoy looking at the dogs and keeping up with your great efforts. As I look at the pictures from various litters, it still amazes me that the dogs all look so similar! We wish your family a great holiday season.

Good morning Barb -

I wanted to share a few pictures of two of the most beautiful dogs from Captain and Jasmine’s litter. Shelby (pink collar) and Badger (yellow collar) meet frequently at the park to play. They know exactly who each other are and romp around the entire time they are together (which is usually a good 1.5 hours). Of course, afterwards they sleep like babies.

During this time, Becky and I get caught up with what each is most currently doing. We are always relieved to hear the other is experiencing similar situations. While at the park, everyone has to stop by and pet the two and tell us what beautiful dogs we have. We are proud parents!

Thanks for these wonderful dogs!

Mac is a 10 month old from Captain & Jasmine’s Litter

Hi Barb,

With Tucker approaching his big FIRST birthday, I wanted to send you an update on him. He is a Jasmine/Captain puppy. He’s an absolutely wonderful dog…just what I was looking for. He tags along with me pretty much everywhere I go. He’s always around lots of people and other dogs, which he loves, and he’s got a great instinct for when to play and when to be calm and gentle with little kids, babies, and even other puppies. His favorite activity of all is his daily run around Lake Harriet, where he not only gets to exercise, but gets to absorb the smells, sounds and sights of other people, dogs, ducks, geese, etc. He smiles the entire time! Here are a few new pictures of the BIG guy:

Hi Barb,

I finally took my camera to the dog park today and got some good photos of Sadie(Captain and Jasmine’s 7/08 litter) to share. At 10 months, she is still a beauty and gets complimented frequently! She loves her romps in the woods (and the chewing of sticks!) and is catching on to the concept of retrieving. We think she has finally stopped growing, although some people still do comment on her the size of her paws and the potential they represent! She is a great dog and we love her dearly. Hope your summer is going well!

Take care,
Julie, Ron, Caitlin and Sadie

Hi Barb,

I hope you and your family are well. Just wanted to update you on Mac- he is doing very well, I can’t thank you enough for breeding such wonderful dogs. He has funny little things that he has been doing since he was a pup such as lying spread eagle on his back to sleep it seems to be his favorite. And when he lays down he always tucks his front paw under I often wonder if his parents do either of these things? He is such a great addition to our family.

Thanks again!
Kelley
