We can’t believe Ginger is already 1! She had a great birthday (lots of presents and a nice “doggy cake”)! Ginger is a Jewel/Captain puppy.

She is doing great, loves playing fetch and is so smart! When we tell her to get a certain toy she (almost) always comes back with the right one! One thing she really needs to work on is barking, though. She REALLY likes to talk and sometimes talks too much when she is outside (especially at night when she goes out before bed).

She is such a good puppy, a great companion, and we don’t know what we’d do without her! Please find attached a few pictures of our sweet girl!

Hi Barb, Lena has been a treasure and a handful, but more of a treasure. Thought you’d like to see her at one year, (Jewel/Captain pup) although she looks like the rest of your beautiful gang. :-) She is the perfect dog to spend the summer in Canada. She jumps in and out of the boats with the fishermen and has trained them to obey her wishes. (“More attention and food, please!”) Teresa

Hi Barb-
I just wanted to send you a couple new pictures of Tashi (born August 2006 Jewel and Captain). We really couldn’t ask for a better dog and I’m still wanting another puppy to add to our little family, partially because she is so great! Tashi goes to doggy day care twice a week to wear off some of that endless energy plus to keep up with her socialization skills with other dogs. The people at the day care love her and all want to keep her. It’s really nice to hear how much they really enjoy having her there and what a great dog she is.
Tashi has the biggest smile I’ve ever seen from a dog and I’m constantly hearing from others how beautiful and adorable she is when she smiles…I don’t think most people have seen a dog smile like she does!
Thank you again for giving her such a great start to her life. Harry and I count our blessings every day we have her in our lives! She’s a great dog bred by great people. Thanks again for breeding such a beautiful soul. I’m hoping I will be contacting you in the near future to add to our family.

Warmest Regards,

Dar

Hi from Sioux Falls South Dakota,

We got Jente and Murphy together today to meet and play. They are half brother and sister a week apart in age now 6 months old. Murphy is of Captain and Maddie and Jente is of Captain and Jewel. It was so fun seeing them together. What a fun day!!

We came to meet because we both happened to sign our puppies up for one on one dog training at the same facility. The trainer realized that he was seeing two puppies both from Rolling Oaks and introduced us. He was so impressed by both dogs that he said he would refer any client wanting golden retrievers to Rolling Oaks from now on.

Keep up the good work!

PS. Jente is in the green collar and Murphy is wearing blue in the photos below.

Thanks, Anne

LIBBY


Hi Barb
Just thought I would drop you a note with another pix from this morning.
Libby seems to be adjusting fine. She is making it through the night with no problems without any crate issues for a week now.
Every morning everyone gets their Libby time as she really is spunky
when we are getting going for the day. Again, she has been great and perfect for us.
Also, Charlie and she are starting to get along really well. A lot of naps are taken together after some solid play time. He still needs his “alone time” and lets her know but is really starting to become accepting of the addition.
Steve, Jen, Joshua, Sam, Elise and Eva

Thanks again!!

note: Libby is from Captain and Jewel

PUPPY VISITING

PUPPY VISITING



We took Jewel’s litter to Pro Works, a place of employment for special needs adults. It is one of my favorite places to bring the puppies. All the people are happy.  They are not worried about how much money they have invested, who is the President or what the weather is. They are trusting. Life is simple and easy. Holding a puppy brings screams of delight!  No emotion is held back. You know when they are happy, and when they are not!  I believe we should all learn something from these very special people. That love is all that matters.  Laugh, love and be carefree.  Let the simple things in life bring you pleasure, like the cuddles of a puppy!

We took Jewel’s litter to Lincoln Apts., a complex for the elderly.
