Shelby

Barb, I’ve attached pictures of Shelby from Jasmine and Captain’s 2009 litter (the pink collar). In the picture where she is staring intently, there are two ducks in our neighbor’s decorative pond. It seems like in the second picture that she is thinking, “Please let me see them!” I can hardly believe that she is almost two years old. read more…

Kota’s Training Success

by Barb

Hi Barb & Russ,

We wanted to update you on Kota’s progress after we met with you for our collar/training session. We appreciate the training tips. Ever since we met with you, Kota has been walking much better. We should have her at a comfortable heel in no time. We are enjoying everyday with her. We’ve attached some pictures of her for you to add to your collection. You really do breed beautiful dogs.
Thanks again, John and Nicole

Dear Barb
Attached are pictures of Clifford’s 3rd birthday party. We celebrate every year on Valentines Day because Jandro insists that this is Clifford’s birthday! We ate the cake in his honor, he chewed on his new kong. Hope all is well at Rolling Oaks! (Clifford is a Emmy/Captain pup)

Tucker & Wilson

Tucker from Captain and Jasmine July '08

Wilson from Captain and Zoey, Feb '10


Tucker and Wilson couldn’t be any better. They turn even non-dog people that come over into dog lovers by the time they leave. So gentle and affectionate with everybody…young, old, big, small. They’re the same way with other dogs, and with each other (aside from the normal brotherly wrestling matches from time to time). They make every day just that much better!

Hi Barb! I hope this finds you well. We have been following the developments at Rolling Oaks and really had you in our thoughts and prayers when we read about Captain. I am sure that had to be extremely hard for all of you, but Captain is responsible for so many incredible litters and we feel so blessed to have one of his sons! Griffin looks like a beautiful stud and we look forward to seeing his future generations too!

I wanted to pass along this most recent picture read more…

Hi Barb – Just wanted to say a big Hello from our family to yours – wishing you all a Happy 2011! Marley is doing awesome, every morning we go out to the marsh in our backyard and hunt for the little field mice, he gets a kick out of looking for them. Have a great Winter & enjoy :) wishing you the all the best,

Sincerely, Kevin, Dana, Steph, Mac and MARLEY

Hi Barb,

Sorry to see the sad news of Ivy on your blog – It is so hard to say goodbye to good friends. I think the only thing that gives me comfort is knowing that I bless our furry family with a peaceful passing surrounded by the friends who love them. read more…
