Dakota

Good Morning Stacie,

I wanted to pass along some info about the puppy (his name is Dakota) as he has been a member of our house for 4 days now.
He is the most well behaved and obedient puppy we have ever seen! He responds to his name and commands very well. Of course he can be stubborn at some times,
but most times he is very responsive to all types of commands. Eric and you were exactly correct about warning us to the puppy's whining about
being put in the cage at night. The first night he barked from 11pm - 6am straight through without taking a break!! HA!
He has been improving with each day dealing with sleeping in the cage at night. It is just something he will have to get used to as a puppy.
He is also eating food and drinking water very well (sucks up water like a vacuum!).
We plan on taking him for puppy training at Petsmart when he gets to be about 10 weeks old.
We will definitely pass along pictures of Dakota while he grows up!

Thank you so much again for everything!
Joseph & Jody

Hi Stacie!

Here is a picture of Dakota at just over 12 weeks of age, the last one chosen of Smoothie's litter born July 26th.
He is doing fantastic and has brought so much love into our home! Dakota has just started professional training and is the star of his class!
The trainer has asked us to use him as an example during each class because he is such a good listener and he picks up on new commands very quickly.
We took him to the Cranberry festival in Chatsworth over the past weekend and he was showered with love and affection from (it seemed like) everyone there.
Dakota really enjoyed interacting with all the people (especially the kids) and the other dogs for the entire afternoon.
He's been great with trying new things and he has been quick to learn.

Thank you again for such a beautiful black lab!

Tripps

Hi Stacie,

I wanted to let you know how much I love having Tripps in our life.  It was a bit rough in the beginning, but he is a really good dog.
I also found out that I am 3-months pregnant.  It is funny how he knows not to jump all over me, but he does it with everyone else.
He is pretty smart, and is starting to learn his commands.
He still hates his cage though, but he either sleeps on the couch or sleeps in the bedroom with us.

By the way, everybody who works at the vet place that you referred us to just loves your puppies.  Dr. Wilson loves seeing him because he is so happy.
He is a loyal friend to have for life.  He even follows me to the bathroom.  Hates being a lone.  Pretty cute.

Just wanted to give you an update.  I will send you more photos in the future.  He is now 31.4 lbs here in his little Santa suit.

Bella

Hi Stacie-

I just wanted to send you a picture of "Bella".  She is beautiful and being spoiled rotten by my parents!

Thank you breeding amazing labradors.  Have a wonderful holiday season.

MAX
(Mighty Maximillian)

Stacie:

Meet MAX- short for Mighty Maximillian- a little more grown up at just over 8months now. He is from Jagger and Sandy's-May 2006 litter.
He is absolutely the BEST!I find myself laughing more with MAX in my life. This dog is just too funny.  He has been a great companion and everyone I meet instantly takes to MAX.
He is now completing puppy training sessions and doing much better. He responds so well to me. I am amazed at how smart he is.
He is such a handsome dog. Here he is, I believe, smiling at me! Looking at his parent's pictures he seems to have Jagger's facial expressions and strong appearance and Sandy's color and beauty.
I cannot tell you how great you are for what you do. Labaradors are THE BEST, and I am so Lucky to have MAX.

Again, Thanks-a-Million...

From Kevin and Mighty Maximillian ("MAX")

P.S. Will send more pictures. I try and take a lot to remember his 1st year. He grew so fast!

Stacie:
It has been awhile since I emailed. I own Max listed on approximately page 3-4 of your emailed photos of pups from past litters. He was born May 2006 to Sandy and Jagger.
I am doing so well with Max and love him dearly. I recently spent a tour of duty overseas for the Army and Max was so well behaved while I was away.
He was so happy to see me when I got back. I could not help but to think of him as family when I was away.
It was hard not being able to see him. I got a thousand licks when he saw me upon my return from duty.
I recently read on your web page that Jagger passed. I am so sad to hear this.
I have told Max that his parents are beautiful dogs and I tell Max that he is handsome everyday.
Max himself was not so fortunate recently as he swallowed a piece of a blanket and a branch and developed a bowel obstruction requiring surgery.
He recovered very well but it really made me sad to think of what had happened. It still causes me anxiety when I see him and think of those days back in February 09 when he was in the hospital.
He is back to his normal self now. As for lyme prevention, I use Frontline Plus faithfully and recently had Max vaccinated for lyme as well.
I likely will be wanting another dog soon. Max needs a companion dog friend. I just need to get a bigger place 1st. Quite frankly, I think Max's energy level can wear me out. I think another dog will serve him well (or just wear me out quicker!)
I will be checking your website from time to time to see new litters planned.
I always try and refer folks to your website if they are interested in getting a great labrador dog from a great breeder.
I will send more pictures as well.
Thanks,
Hope all is well.
Kevin and Mighty Maximillian (Max)

Shelby

Hi Stacie-
Hope you and your family are doing well – we really love our little Shelby! Here are a

couple of new pictures of her; she is very smart, and caught on pretty quickly to going by

the door when she has to go outside. She loves to play and run – she really is very cute,

too! She knows how to sit, stay and come – we are working on the down, but she loves to jump

and nip to get your attention! Thanks again, best of luck with your upcoming litters!

Charlotte

Hi Stacie!!!
It's been such a wonderful three weeks!!!! Charlotte is such a great dog!!!
She had her shots earlier this week and weighed in at 12.7 lbs. She loved Dr. Gutman!!
We have mastered sit and stay, the housetraining is going fabulous, it came very natural to her! Thank you for our wonderful addition, we are truly truly enjoying her.
update you soon!!
pam and luke

Hi Stacie,
We can't believe tomorrow she is 12 weeks already!!!
We took her for her check up last night, she weighed in at 18.8 lbs. She gained 6lbs in 3 weeks!! Her vet says she is going to be a big girl!!!
We have now mastered sit, sleep, and lay down, averaging one new "trick" a week.
Many many comments on her shiny coat, attribute it to her mom and dad, but I am sure it's those nu vet vitamins,
and of coarse the designer shampoo we use on her that I get from the salon I work at!!!!
Such a joy she is, we will continue to keep you all posted!
pam and luke

Hi Stacie,
Just one this week! She looks so big doesn't she??? Puppy kindergarten is half way through and we are truly starting to see the results especially on the leash!
Definately our best friend!!
pam and luke!

Here is a recent picture of Ms. Charlote. We continue to be so thrilled with her!!!!
She graduated top of her class, and definately most improved from Puppy Kindergarten! She's just a love bug!

Hi Stacie!!!
Hope the warm weather is treating you and the family well!! I have attached some recent pictures of Charlotte from our trip to Grandpa's farm over Memorial Day!!! She had a blast!
You will see she has mastered swimming, she loves the water! She also had a great time chasing the quads, and yes she will be a fabulous hunting dog next season,
for as soon as the boys fired off a shot, she was off looking for a bird!!! (she brought back most of the clay one's they missed!)

Talk to you soon, and as always thank you again for our princess!! (and yes, she is sleeping in bed with us now too, I'm such a pushover!)
Love,
Pam Luke and Charlotte

Hi Stacie!!
I apologize that we have not written in so long. Our computer went to the wayside and I unfortunately lost touch, but here we are back again!!!
Attached find some pictures of Charlottes second day of duck hunting!!! She is an absolute natural!!
We continue to love her so much, I can not remember our home before her!!! I can't believe she is almost a year old!!!
We hope that all is well, and will be in touch again soon!!
Pam, Luke, and Charlotte

Hi Stacie,
You will find attached Charlotte's first pheasant hunting photos! She did very well! She was quite pooped afterwards though!! She continues to be our pride and joy!
Pam and Luke and of course miss charlotte! :)

Hi Stacie! I hope the spring is finding you well!! I have attached some pictures of Charlotte. The first photo is a day at the Long Valley Dog Park. She loved it!

Pam Luke and Char Char!

Hi Stacie!
We hope this finds you well! Please find attached some photos of Charlotte's first trip to the beach in North Wildwood!
It has been so much fun with her, she truly loves the beach and the water, and has made many many friends!
Wildwood and Cape May have many dogfriendly places to visit, that we found on dogfriendly.com!
Be in touch again soon! Love,
Pam, Luke, and our Princess, Miss Charlotte
