Family Loved Labs - DARK CHOCOLATE

~please note if you've sent us a picture and update and it's not on here send us a reminder.... we don't want to miss you!

Thank you for allowing us to come up and visit your family and your dogs. It was so nice to see where the dogs were kept and how much love they get from your family (especially Trevor!). You were so helpful in working with us to choose the best litter/match for our needs. I would highly recommend Family Loved Labs to anyone that wants a calm, loving, beautiful Labrador. Please feel free to send this to anyone that needs a reference. I would be more than happy to answer any questions/concerns they would have, and send them pictures!

Thanks again for a providing such great customer service and I can’t even tell you how happy we are with our little guy.

Hi Rosie: just an update on Abby: still the super dog!! she is also the most beautiful and friendly and loving dog in the world...thanks for my best friend...pic of her swimming in the cold water with her golden friend on my profile

I wanted to let you know how Barkley is doing and share a couple of pictures now that she's one year old. As you can see, she has grown a lot and weighs about 80 pounds. She is very healthy. I think she looks a lot like her dad, Booker! You can see it in her eyes and she has a thick throat and chest as well. She is beautiful and very sweet! Remember when I told you she doesn't really go after the ball or swim yet? Well all that changed. I now can't keep her out of the water, she absolutely loves it. In fact, she jumped off the boat in the middle of Puget Sound this summer. Fortunately she was wearing her life vest so we had a handle to lift her out of the water and pull her back in the boat!! She ignores other dogs and is focused on the tennis ball when we go to parks. She is 100% lab! People comment about how calm she is and they are so surprised when they learn she is just one year old. She still goes to day care about twice a week and she is the owner's favorite! I'm thinking about continuing her Good Citizen Canine training now that she is older and has more focus. I have no doubt she can learn whatever I teach her.

Every now and then she visits with Charlie Brown (Derek and Erin's pup) who moved up to Seattle from LA in July. Charlie and Barkley just love each other and are non-stop when they get together. Charlie is doing really well too. He's two months younger than Barkley but really well behaved and healthy. Erin and Derek couldn't be happier with him. Barkley and Charlie are very happy labs and are very loved and well cared for.

In the last photo, Barkley is wearing her Pink engagement collar she received from Charlie! I told you they loved each other. :) And, I think the pink collar is particularly appropriate since she was "Miss Pink" when she was first born.

I check your website every now and then to look at your puppies and see how you're all doing. I'm so tempted to get another pup from you but Barkley keeps us plenty busy. Thank you for breeding such great pups! I never thought I'd have another lab as wonderful as Quincy, my white lab that passed away just over a year ago now, but Barkley is just as sweet. She brings so much happiness into my life and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the strong foundation you and your family have laid with her.

This is our Cid, he is growing, growing and growing. Very adorable as always...WE LOVE HIM Dearly!

BDAWG (Booker x Brook Son) We love him so muchhhhhhhhhhhhh He has brains and beauty! He's the best looking dog on he sidewalk!

Gunner has been such and enjoyment to have . After a few days of adjusting to his new home he is as happy as can be. He hasn't had an accident in the house and knows how to sit. He is a beautiful dog and extremely intelligent and curious. He seems to want to examine everything for himself and loves to sit and watch me when I am working on something. He seems to be getting used to his daily routine and I receive numerous compliments on how well he behaves as well as his temperament. Thank you for everything Brian.

Hi Rosie and Randy,

Our little girl arrived last night and is as wonderful as we were hoping she would be. She is such a sweetie and is just gorgeous. The kids absolutely LOVE her (as do we!) and she is already a well loved member of our family. We think her name will be Bailey. We are attaching a photo of her with Isabella and Cooper.

Thanks so much!

Happy Birthday Rumple!! And Happy 11th Anniversary Kolin and Ellen

Ruby and Tiger Red Puppy...... RUMPLE IS AN AWESOME BOY!!

A VISIT To FAMILY LOVED LABS
I just want to share my experiences with anyone considering adopting a dog from Rosie and Randy from Family Loved Labs. When my husband and I starting to think about adopting a dog, we weren't sure where to go or how to determine a quality breeder. Like many people - we started to look at websites of breeders. I knew that we were looking for a breeder that had good looking dogs with quiet temperament. We aren't a family of hunters, show or any other competitive interests - but wanted a dog that would take to a life of lots of outdoor activities and a great family companion. Websites are a first step in uncovering a quality breeder - but nothing can compare to talking to and visiting with the dogs and family - so that's what I did. Started the conversation.

In speaking with Rosie over the phone, it was very clear to me that she cared a great deal about her dogs and the potential homes that her labs would go into. She asked me a number of thoughtful questions that any caring owner would want to know - where the dog would live, our interests in labs and what kind of life would a dog have with us, in addition - we discussed the adoption process - puppy socialization - her family activities with all of the dogs and puppies and a whole host of other topics of interest to both of us. We decided to move forward and visit her home and the puppies up for adoption.

My husband and I visited Rosie and family a few weeks ago. We were welcomed by her two youngest children - Larissa and Trevor - and the cutest puppies, Bear and Boy 2. A moment later - Rosie and Randy joined us in the grass - playing with the puppies. As we talked to the family and played with the puppies - it was so obvious to us that each member of the family had such a love for the dogs in their care. Larissa brought Gunner (the dad) to meet us and she showed us how well trained he is. She has trained Gunner so well - in fact she going to state with him soon. She was proud to show all that they do together as a team - and he was happy to receive affection from all of us after a job well done. Trevor brought out a few more dogs for us to meet - all very friendly and very social. Trevor had fun showing us some of his favorite times spent with his dog. All the while we were able to observe the dynamic and personalities of the dogs. We then were able to meet Mocha (the mom) and see where the puppies are being raised and cared for. All of which was very clean and comfortable for the dogs. They have a huge space for dogs to spend time outside and run. The housing for the dogs is very organized. We were impressed with all that we saw.

We came away from that visit with a wonderful sense for the kinds of labs they raise and the environment in which they are cared for. They are a family of integrity and each one takes personal responsibility for caring for the labs - whatever their role - and breeding great labs. Their website reflects a dedicated family in love with labs - and that is exactly what we experienced first hand. We would recommend them to anyone. Julia & Bill

Hi Rosie. Just a quick not to keep u up to date on Abby. She is such a beautiful dog... She is still pure white and has the most beautiful head! Looks like she will end up looking just like her dad. I'm going to have her spayed next month...Sure u don't want to breed her? She is also the smartest, most affectionate dog I have ever had. Although she is still crated at night. she has a bed in the living room and sits like a princess on it!! lol I have a huge kennel in the back and if I have to go out on nice days she sits on her lounge chair in the kennel...sooo funny...Thanks will send pics soon...I love this dog so much

Hi Rosie,

Sorry it's taken us so long to update you with pictures of Yoda. He's growing so fast! He's already learned how to sit, come and drop, but we just started puppy class to reinforce everything and to learn more commands. He loves to play fetch. We hope to get him in the water soon so he can start swimming. We know he's going to be a great hunting dog because he already loves to chase the bugs and toads in our yard! He loves people and other dogs and most people are amazed at how calm he is for being so young. He's been an absolute joy, we don't know what we would do without him.

Take care,

Jason & Sara and Yoda

Hello Rosie,

Greetings from Montana.

I hope this note finds you and your family doing well. Here is a picture

of Duke which I took last week. He is now just bit over one year old.

Every day he becomes more handsome....

All the best,

Alain

Hi! Here is a picture of Sophie I just took today. We weighed her the other day and she is 35 pounds. She graduated from puppy kindergarten on Monday. We are so glad we took her there, we learned so much and she is so smart. We want to get her into the next class but it sounds like it might not be until next year.

Canine Good Citizen

Rosie, Our boy Chip (Aka Gunner Jr.) (Gunner/Mocha 07) has passed his test and is now a Canine Good Citizen. He did so well and completed each of the ten tasks the first time without having any redo's. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments. He is such a good boy and has not only calmed down immensely since coming to live with us. He is now sleeping at by our bed on his own Costco bed at night. He sleeps all night without a peep from him. He doesn't get up or wander during the night. Thanks for sending another sweet smart boy to the Brown family.

Hugs,

Judi

Randy and Rosie,

I am happy to announce that Charlie passed the Canine Good Citizen & Pet therapy international test last night!!! He is officially a Pet Therapy Dog!!! I'm so excited to get him started. First there is a bunch of paperwork to be filed then we can get busy! He is so good with little kids I'm hoping we can make some visits to the pediatric cancer unit at the hospital here in La Crosse. They are big fans of Therapy Dogs.

We'll keep you posted!!

Tammy

Rosie and all,

I am attaching a few pictures of Charlie "Bear" since he just turned one last week. He is an awesome dog - he definitely looks like his Daddy in the one picture. we will be taking the Pet Therapy /Good Canine Citizen test in a couple of weeks. He will be a great therapy dog - his temperament and disposition are perfect for this. He has lots of puppy and human friends for hiking and play dates. Everybody knows "CHARLIE"!!!! He loves music and likes to go to summer concerts in the park. Thanks for breeding a great line of labs!! Tammy

"Hi Rosie - Just an update about Abby...She is the smartest, most loving young dog din the world!!! I thank you!! She swims all the time...just crashes into the water! I too her to a match show the other day to "socialize" Without a doubt she had more people stop to comment on her beauty and friendliness then any other dog. She was in heaven. I went into a handlers class for fun. and one of the judges worked with us separately, because she was so young.. Such fun...she will be great at obedience and maybe agility. she taught herself to sit... Hope all's well...Liz"

Rosie,

Here are a few pictures of Ziggy. She is doing great and is a wonderful

dog. We all love her much!!

Julie

Ziggy (Pearl and Booker pup)

Hi Rosie!

We wanted to update you on Miss Coco Bella! She is doing so great! She has adapted quite well into our family.

Bella loves the water - she has surprised us a few times by jumping into the bath tub with the girls, jumping into a river and is not shy about jumping into any random pool. It is so hilarious. She is very smart and learns quickly...she has learned to sit, shake and down. She also loves dirty socks and shoes. She is potty trained and loves her kennel. She is so beautiful - a very rich dark brown with those big green eyes. We can't believe how fast she is growing. The little fat puppy is gone and she is turning into a very slender girl with legs!

We love her to pieces! Here are some pics of her.

We have recommended Family Loved Labs to tons of people. Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Mark & Cindy

Coco Bella Bean (Cali and Gunner Pup)

Hi Rosie and Randy!

Abbi is still doing fantastic here, up at the camp. The weather has not been pleasent - but that does not get her down.
She is getting really big! She is almost as tall as our other dog - but Abbi is all legs. Here are some pictures of her....

Abbi loves the water in many ways... She has been in swimming a few times, loves to retrieve, she also enjoys blowing bubbles in the lake and drinking from the bottom of her water bowl. She still is a foody dog and will eat ANYTHING in sight.

She gives the older dogs a run for their money when it's play fighting time - another one of her favorite past times!

Hope all is well,

Jessica, Jeremy and Abbi

Abbi (Pearl and Booker Pup)

Hello Rosie Family,

Just dropping by for a quick update on Harley (Mattie's Boy2). He is 6 months old as of July 1st and 65 pounds. He is doing GREAT, such a good dog. He has completed the Super Good Manners Program @ Super Dooper Dog Training and has received his medal and certificate for the AKC S.T.A.R Puppy Program. Thanks again for such an amazing dog! We love him so!
Sincerely, Mary, Jason, Joshua & Harley

Dear Rosie,

I can't believe a month has gone by since Hugo flew into Philadelphia and joined the family. He is such a joy and truly an amazing puppy.

Geoffrey and I would like to thank you for all of the hard work and love you put into breeding and raising puppies. When I first visited your home and learned about how you breed, I was amazed at the cleanliness of the puppies' home from birth to adoption age. The small houses with multiple rooms you've constructed for the mother and her litter to live in was amazing. I felt confident that the puppies were receiving wonderful care as they grew.

Since Hugo has arrived at our home, I have been shocked by how well-behaved he is and intelligent. He's very loving and always wants to be near us. He's almost 12 weeks old now and he is house-trained!! Your work with him has put him far ahead of most dogs. He knows to go to the door and sit there. He even rings chimes next to the door to tell us he needs to go out. He learns everything very quickly and can already sit, lay down, come, stay, woof and shake on command. When it's time for a meal, he sits quietly and waits for me to tell him it's ok to approach his bowl and eat.

Hugo is currently in Puppy Kindergarten at Petsmart and we are proud to share that the teacher says that he is the top of the class!

Training Hugo has helped us realize how lucky we are to have adopted him from you and that most puppies out there would be a nightmare and take forever to train compared to him!

Attached are some pictures of him so you can see him now.

Thank you for everything!

Laura & Geoffrey

Hi!

Hugo (Dyna and Booker Pup)

We just wanted to give you an update on Sophie and figured you might want to see a picture of her. She is growing a lot! We are enjoying her very much even though she keeps us very busy! We took her for a short ride in the truck tonight to see how she reacted and she kind of freaked out but calmed down by the end.

Sophie (Booker and Dyna pup)

I just wanted to let you know that Bear is doing fine. Duggie and Bear have been getting along so good together. I could not have hoped for such wonderful dogs. I would defiantly encourage any one who has one of your dogs to get a second one. I think it is the best thing I ever did for Duggie is to get Bear. They just love to play together. Even when they are not playing Bear follows Duggie around like a little puppy dog that he is. Bear is getting so big. He is already 27 pound at 11 weeks. ~ Baker Family

Rosie,

Sorry itï¿½s taken so long to get back to you. Cowboy is such a wonderful dog and so very, very smart. He has grown quite a bit and will be 6 months old as of July 1^st. Canï¿½t keep him out of the lake which is his back yard but thatï¿½s ok he loves it.

Regards,

Arnold

Cowboy (Gunner and Mattie Pup)

Hello Rosie,

I hope this note finds you and your family doing well. Duke has grown at a

very rapid rate, and its hard to believe that he is about to turn 10 months.

His weight has stabilized, finally, at a whopping 92 pounds!!! And none of

that is fat. I think that we should of named him the beast instead of Duke.

He is a real handsome fellow.

In April we went to Florida and he finally got a chance to get into the

water. He just loved it, and he has now become a very strong swimmer. He

leaves ginger in the dust, granted she does the same to him when its time to

run...
We introduced Ginger and Duke to

a canoe, last month and he loves to go out on the canoe. He actually jumps

in it and sits down while the canoe is still on the grass.

His personality is still evolving, but his heart remains as white as his

color. He is extremely well natured, is always in a great mood, and he is

just a joy to be around. He treats Ginger as his best friend and mother.

Wherever she goes, you will see Duke not far behind.

Have a great week, and will send you some pictures of Duke as he matures.

All the best to you and to your family,

Alain

Duke (Summer and Booker Pup)

Rosie,

Shiloh is a happy dog & always smiling!

Shiloh (Pearl x Booker Pup)

Rosie,

He loves everybody.He is the smartest Lab I've had and is a natural bird lover, he will hunt with me this season coming up. We named him Bugs McSweeney the love bug, he looks like our Pastor.he loves the truck and car rides and will hang with me all day, gets me up every morning at 6:00 AM , loves the water jumps of the dock and goes for the birds. He is our love bug for sure.

I hope all is well and all the gogies are happy like Bugs Thanks again , Bugs makes our Heaven on earth .... God Bless You and Have a Blessed Day.. Tyrone

Bugs (Gunner Pup)

Hi! Dakota is fantastic. He is still the best dog EVER!!!! We still can't get over how obedient he is.

Thank you for doing such a good job in bringing these wonderful dogs into the world.

Ziggy is doing great. We took up north last weekend for the holiday and she

Had a blast.........

Hi Rosie,

I hope this note finds you all well and enjoying Spring. I just wanted you to know that Chip has completed and graduated from Intermediate Obedience Training at Petsmart and will begin the advanced Obedience Training in Mid May. He did very well in the class and Sidney came to class to congratulate him on his progress,

Take Care,

Judi

Chip (Gunner x Mocha Pup)

Hi Rosie-

I wanted to send you an update on Bishop. He is the most incredible dog in the entire world. Our three children absolutely adore him & he couldn't possibly be more wonderful with them. He loves hiking, the beach & the snow...I've attached a couple of pictures. The only problem is that, while he grows bigger every day, he still adamantly believes that he is a lap dog :)

We've decided that we want to get a second dog for our family & based on Bishop's disposition, we're confident that you raise the best puppies ever!!!

Thanks so much!

Devon, John, Chase, Thomas, Charlotte & Bishop

Bishop (Gunner x Angel Pup)

Rosie,

Today we took Shiloh to the St. Augustine beach & she loved it! I was able to capture her first steps into the ocean.

Shiloh (Booker x Pearl Pup)

Hi Rosie!

Abbi is doing amazing. Everyone loves her and wants to take her home. Even my friends who are afraid of dogs. LOL.
She is loving her new home and all her new friends. We have been taking TONS of photos!!

Family Loved Labs definitely holds true to its name! We picked up our new white lab puppy from the Christensenï¿½s beautiful farm. Our new puppy, Abbi, welcomed us at the door. We spent time visiting with the family and our new puppy. The Christensenï¿½s are a very caring and loving family who are devoted to breeding and nurturing dogs and their puppies.

The facility was very clean and well organized.  The puppies and nursing moms have a very comfortable and loving environment 
which makes for a happy and healthy litter of pups.  The puppies have a lot of human contact and attention which makes it much 
easier to adjust to a new family home.

Abbi has adjusted very well to her new home, dogs and other family members. She is a very beautiful and well tempered pup. 
We are happy she has joined our family. Family Loved Labs is a perfect place to get a perfect four-legged family addition. 
We would definitely return to Family Loved Labs for another pup. We highly recommend getting your new addition to your family
from Family Loved Labs.

Abbi (Pearl x Booker Pup)
Thanks so much, We love her

Jessica and Jeremy

I havenï¿½t had time to edit my photos yet, but here are a few

We headed down to the desert for a friends wedding. Lots of hiking, Rumpleï¿½s first swim

More to come

Kolin

Rumple (Ruby x Tiger Pup)

He is doing greatï¿½sits, lays down on command, and is retrieving the newspaper when it is not to heavy. (he's only 10 weeks) Sleeps on the bed with her and his big brother. Spoiled rotten! He went swimming the other day kind of by mistake (fell off the dock into like 8ï¿½ of water). Chrissy was trying to keep him contained to the kitchen when she wasnï¿½t home during the day but that only worked for a couple of days so she gave up on that! He has the roam of the house but he has been good about going potty where he is supposed to. She works 5 minutes from her house so she goes home during the day to let him out. A more spoiled rotten dog you will not find.

Just wanted to drop you a line to know how Duggie ï¿½Murphyï¿½ Gunner Mocha 08ï¿½ is doing. He loves walks in the woods. Saturday he was chasing turkeys when we were out. He loves to be around people and other dogs. He has a black lab friend named Dash he gets to play with about once a week. All the people that see him complement how good he looks. The one neighbor thinks he should be a puppy model. When we were expanding our Koi pond he was right there helping dig, and drinking the water when we were filling it up. He loves to play Frisbee. He is getting good at catching them in the air. And he is always up for playing ball.

Duggie (Gunner x Mocha Pup)

Christensen Family,

Just a quick note to let you know Harley Bear is doing great! 15 weeks today, 30 lbs. He has grown so fast. Everyone comments on his big paws, even his Vet. He learns very quickly and is very smart. He can sit, lay down, roll over, shake (both paws), high five, speak and stay on command. He is kennel trained. Harley has slept thru the night since his first week here. My son and him are inseparable, they absolutely love each other. He loves to nibble Joshua's ears. He has also learned not to bite too hard. If he gets to excited and rough while playing, just say "Ouch" and he'll softly nibble at you. We are so grateful that we have him in our family!

Thanks Again,

Mary, Jason, Joshua
& Harley Bear

Harley Bear (Mattie x Gunner Pup)

Rosie and Randy,

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I love my puppy!!!

He is everything that I was looking for in a male lab.

So beautiful and a fantastic dispostion!!! I just want to squeeze him everyday!

Thank you for such a great dog. You guys are doing a great job!

His name is Samson......

Sincerely,

Mary Ann

  Dear Rosie and Randy,
Now at almost 5 months and just over 40 lbs, Charlie Gunner is doing well and quickly made a place and routine for himself in his new home in Alton, Ill. He has been well attended to by our vet friend and neighbor, is pretty well housebroken, gets plenty of exercise, is responding to a few commands and gets pretty excited about a couple of his dog friends in the neighborhood. As you would expect, he loves to fetch, maintains quite a high energy level, is fanatical about birds and does not seem to be gun shy. We are planning to have some more advanced training for him soon and, when the weather warms, I'm anxious to introduce him to swimming.
   Attached are some pictures of Charlie with our 8 year old Reed, Reed with a neighbor friend, and our four kids at Christmas.    While Charlie can at times be a bit overpowering for Reed, they clearly are best pals.
   I hope the Minnesota winter is not too bad this year for you and that your new and upcoming litters remain successful.
Best regards,   ~   George

Charlie Gunner (Cali x Gunner Pup)

Rosie, Randy

Just to let you know that everything went well. We picked him up in the airport and it was truly an amazing moment for the whole family and especially to my daughter, Alexis who had no idea about Cid until she saw the crate.

He is a gorgeous pup and he got plenty of compliments as we walk towards the parking lot. He has an excellent temperament. He loves to play, eat and take naps. I love it especially when he would cuddle with me and sleep on my lap for long period of time....

I made an appointment with the local veterinarian on Monday, April 13... I will definitely keep you guys updated and pictures will soon follow.

Thank you once again.

Edgar, Arlene, Mark and Alexis

She is doing well. Certainly able to hold her own. Very active!!! Caliber has taken her under his wing...God love him for only being a puppy himself he has stepped in to take care of her. They are going to be great pals. Sleeping will be getting tuffer they are going to take over the king size bed. She is adorable!!!!

Just a quick note to let you know that Roscoe is doing great here in
Northwest Florida. He knows his name, he knows the sit command, and
is leash training. He has learned to use the dog door to our
backyard. He is going to be a fantastic addition to our family. ~tama

Roscoe (Pearl x Booker Pup)

Hey Rosie, It was so nice talking with you & I'm glad to see you got the pictures of our handsome boy Chester. Everyday Chester shows us his love, devotion & his ability to learn. He's such a pleasure to be with. We had no idea what kind of dog he would turn out to be. We were pleasantly surprised. He is truly the best dog I have ever had!!!!!! I have asked myself how did we get so lucky to have a wonderful dog? Then I realized it was not luck at all. It was because of you & your family. You knew what kind of dog we were getting & I thank you for letting us have Chester. He is a perfect match for our family. ~Take Care. Cathy
Chester~ (Booker x Summer )

I hope things are well Rumple is INCREDIBLE.

you should consider breeding him

he's a genius. bye for now Kolin

CONGRATULATIONS to Sidney he passed his
Canine Good Citizen -
Booker x Sadie Puppy
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ~ GREAT JOB!!

Hi Rosie, ~ Just had to tell you that Sidney passed his Canine Good Citizen test last evening.
He did so well. He did not have to repeat any exercises. He did them all correctly
the first time. I was so proud of him. Here are a few pictures that Paige took last
night you are welcome to post them if you'd like. ~Take care, Judi

Hey Rosie, it's been a while and I'm sorry
I haven't sent pictures sooner, but here are a few of Chester. As you can see he is growing
like a weed. We took him to the vet on jan9 for his last check -up . His weight is 48.5 pounds.
The Vet said he will be a very large Lab. He also said that a Lab will always have something
in his mouth( that their job). Which we have notice. Little concerned about the rocks he gets,
don't want him to swallow them. But besides that everything is going well. He loves the tub.
When it's time for Eric's bath I have to close the door because if not Chester would be in it.
He enjoys watching the birds at the feeder. When they fly off he wants to chase them. He still
plays with his toy birds(had to sew them up a few times) He likes to CHEW on his chewy/bones.
Think goodness it's not the furniture. He also likes to jump up on the kitchen chairs to watch us
play dice. All I know is that Chester is so smart!!!!! I swear he understands what we are saying.
I have never had a dog like him before. So thank you again for giving us such a wonderful dog. ~Cathy

Chester (Booker x Summer 08)

Hey Rosie and family,
Its Kasie and Trey, we got Caleb from the Gunner litter back in November. First i have to say i got Caleb as an early christmas gift and it was wonderful. He is beautiful and biult so nicly. We have had the time of our life with him. We thought at first that he was going to be laid back but we were wrong ha-ha he is into everything and loves to run. He is so smart he already has learned to sit, shake, high five, lay, roll-over and play dead ha-ha. I must say the high five was pretty impressive and he does it so well. He loves the water if you are in the shower he like to stick his head in and get wet and lick the water.We bought him a stuffed animal toy duck that makes duck calls and he goes nuts over it, thats his favorite toy. Trey wants to send him to hunting school. He is a beautiful chocolate color and everyone says how cute he is. He loves going places with us he takes over the passenger seat ha-ha. Again thank you so much for such a great puppy that i know will be an amazing dog. I have attached a couple of pictures of him he gets bigger and bigger each day. We love having him around so much that we are thinking the we will get a white/yellow lab from you sometime.

For those of you considering a puppy from Family Loved Labs; we now own two Labrador Retrievers from Family Loved Labs and they are great additions/members of our family. I just cannot say enough about Family Loved Labs. They have a great breeding program with established Sires and Dams that yield quality dogs in terms of health and disposition. We were very skeptical buying over the internet as we had had a previous experience that did not go well. I called Family Loved Labs and spoke to Rosie. She was extremely knowledgeable about not only the breed, but matching the right temperament with the gaining family. Rosieï¿½s in depth knowledge allowed her to match the personality of the puppy based on the answers we provided in a few phone conversations.
Rosie fit our family with Sidney aka Sydney (Booker /Sadie Litter 2007) and he is exactly as she described. We could not have been more pleased when Sidney arrived. He was absolutely beautiful. I even heard one of the handlers at the airline say hey I want a dog like this- He's so calm.   Sidney is now almost 2 years old and will test for his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate in January 2009. Sidney is a quick study and very adaptable to changing situations. He is a very social dog and is well balanced.     He is as happy hanging around at your feet as he is trekking across the Mojave Desert. He has become very trail savvy and my husband enjoys their hikes together. We could not have been blessed with a better dog.
We enjoy Sidney so much that we added another one of Rosieï¿½s puppies to our family this past October. Gunner Jr. (Gunner/Mocha litter 2007) came to us at 15 months old and made the transition to a new home well. Gunner is a focused high energy dog that wants to please his master. We are continuing to help him learn the house rules and he is progressing nicely. I was pleasantly surprised at how quick he is to pick up on commands. He is a very instinctive retriever and extremely fast.    Once again, Gunner was exactly as Rosie described him.   Gunner will be starting intermediate obedience training this coming February 2009 as we want him to achieve his AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate too. He is well on his way to earning it.
Rosie makes it so easy to purchase a pup and the care and socialization that each pup receives from this family only makes the transition from their home to yours so much easier. I was hesitant to have a puppy flown to us, but now that I have had 2 flown to us I can say that it was easy. Rosie takes you through every step of the process. They were so relaxed when we received them at the airport and they acted like they belonged with us from the beginning. The paperwork process and transference was a no brainer for us. Family Loved Labs also provides great support to you as a new owner after youï¿½ve gotten the puppy.
We enjoy our dogsï¿½ companionship and watching them mature into great dogs of their breed. The investment in time has been well worth the experience and they are wonderful family dogs and additions to our family. We hope that if you are considering adding a Labrador to your family that you choose Family Loved Labs as you will not be disappointed.
Sincerely,
The Brown Family   ,



To anyone looking for a Lab

I research things probably more than any other person on this planet.

So when my wife and I decided it was time to get a pup, the sleepless

nights of investigating breeders online began.  We've had two labs

before, so finding one that could live up to those expectations would

be tough.  My number one priority was a lab that was well socialized.

We are outdoors a LOT, and I can take a dog to work, so having one

that could handle always being on the go, different noises, different

places, lots of different animals and people, and just in general

being mellow was key for our lifestyle.

I talked to and even visited several breeders with mixed personal

reviews.  Some are super experienced and a real "operation", others

seem to be pretty naive.  Almost all were not as responsive as I would

have preferred.  All, except Rosie at Family Loved Labs.  She got back

to me usually within the hour (or minutes) and never got tired of my

never ending questions.  She appreciated the fact that I looked at

picking a breeder and picking a pup as a super serious 10-15 year

commitment.  But most importantly I was very impressed with how much

socialization the puppies received.  So out of every breeder I spoke

with (over 20), not one came close to the socialization process of the

pups, and the responsiveness of Rosie.

I couldn't believe I was setting myself up to buy a pup online, sight-

unseen but figured that Rosie and her family could tell more about the

personality of the pups over 8 weeks of raising them, than I could in

one hour if I flew all the way out there to pick one from the litter.

So after endless emails and phone calls and weeks and weeks of anxious

waiting, young "Rumple" arrived at the airport in Salt Lake City in

tip top shape.  He's more than we could have expected and truly is a

joy to have in our family.  Everyone that meets him, including the

vet, just can't believe how gorgeous and how well behaved he is.

I'm glad to have found Rosie and Family Loved Labs, and thankful to

have Rumple in our lives.  You can follow his progress at:

She is doing great!  Knows how to come, sit and lie down.  Walks great
on leash.  We are still working on piddling in the house, not

unexpected, and biting too hard.  Vet check up was great, very healthy

and she'll get her last puppy shots Feb 2nd. She is so much fun.  I

enjoy watching her explore the world around her and her inquisitive

mind.  She is very smart!  Thank you for all you have done to set such

a solid foundation.  We love her!  Deb

    Here's a few pics for you!
I'll send some more shortly - we'll get one of Kai, Joe and I when we are all together again in a few days. She's doing GREAT!! Everyone in my family loves her and she is just the sweetest, most lovable little girl!

Thanks for doing such a wonderful job in her first early days:)

Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to thank you for making our adoption of Duggie such a pleasant experience. The weekly pictures and e-mails made the weeks of waiting for our Duggie a much more exciting experience

What a wonderful day it was when we arrived at the airport. Just as you said, the airport pickup process was quick and easy. Iï¿½ll never forget seeing him for the first time when we took him out of his crate. It was love at first sight.

Duggie is everything you would want in a lab, or any other dog. He is beautiful, extremely smart, well behaved, and has a wonderful temperament. He is everything we wanted and more. We constantly get compliments from everyone who sees him. The experience we had with you was great. We would recommend it to anyone, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Here are some more pictures of our pride and joy!         The Bakers

Hi Rosie, I just wanted to let you know that Champ, now known as Cody is doing very well. We absolutely adore him. He is so intelligent and are amazed at how well he is adjusting to his new home. Thank you and have a happy and healthy holiday. Attached please find the latest photo of Cody and the kids.

Take Care,                                        (Gunner x Cali 08)

Hello There
Long time since I have been in touch. I had to get a new camera, sorry for the delay. He is such an amazing dog......We love him very much. He is doing great and starting to get along with the cats :)....
He is very smart and loveable. He is so affectionate with me. He loves to be hugged and kissed. He is so playful and friendly. I thought I would show you a picture of when he was little and how he looks now. The pictures are from this weekend. I will continue to be in touch. I promised your daughter I would.

Took Rumple for his first vet appointment yesterday

All the staff was FREAKING out with how gorgeous he is

Even the vet was like, "wow" "......uh"..,, wow". That is one good looking dog"

(Rumple is a Ruby & Tiger Red Puppy)

Dear Rosie,

AS most people, I was very apprehensive in going online and trying to find a

puppy.  It is very awkward and a huge leap of faith to choose a puppy

without having the benefit of seeing its parents, nor getting to know the

breeder face to face.  I searched and communicated with multiple breeders,

and from the way you answered my first and subsequent emails, you stood

apart from the rest. Your desire and insistence to get to know the

environment where your puppies would go is very important.  What finally

made me decide to go ahead and put a deposit on the puppy was our initial

conversation.  Your enthusiasm and passion for what you do could not be more obvious.  It was very clear that you enjoy what you do, that you take

tremendous care of your dogs and that your children and husband also play a

very important role in the breeding and in all of the stages which follow.

Your daughter's page on your site, provides a very personal touch and

provides a further glimpse into the way which you take care of your dogs. It

is quite obvious that they are a part of your family.

as the day finally came in which Duke would took his trip and arrived to our

house, my wife Jessica, myself, and my two youngest daughters where so

exited we could not wait for the plane to finally arrive.  Ginger our 4 year

old lab, Penny, our 10 year old maltese, and Ramely, our 5 year old

Chihuahua, did not have a clue as to the whirlwind which was about to hit

our house. In all honesty neither did we!!! When we took Duke out of his

travel cage, all of our worries and concerns where laid to rest.  Out came a

very healthy, very well fed, very clean, and very playful puppy.  When we

got home and Duke started to settle down from his trip, and began to find

his new environment not to be a threat, it became very clear how well

socialized he was.  This behavior is not something which happens overnight,

but its crafted during the upbringing which the puppy initially receives,

and It sets the proper foundations for a dog to flourish and allow his

personality to really begin to develop.

Duke is doing great. He is getting really big.  He is already 33 lbs. and is

only 14 weeks old.  Two weeks ago, we took him on his first hike thru the

snow. He enjoys playing in the snow with Ginger and we are looking forward

to the hikes this summer.  He is a most handsome and is  a very very

loveable fellow.  I just wished we would have a larger house so we could

have another one of your puppies....

Congrats on doing something which you so much enjoy doing.  My family could not be happier.  If you have anybody who would like to speak to a family

which has one of your puppies and is looking for a greater comfort level,

please feel free to give them my contact information.

I truly hope that we will be able to bring another dog into our family.

When that day finally comes, you will be the first person which I will call .

Wishing you and your family all the best,

Alain, Jessica, Natasha and Nahomi Tiphaine

Hi Rosie remember us? Dakota (Cosmo) came to us in May of this year and I just wanted to check in with you and tell you how wonderful Dakota is. Never in my life have I ever encountered such a nice dog. He is so calm, obedient, and just wonderful to have around, he really is such a sweet boy. The thing that I like about him the best is the way he is with my 1 year old daughter. He is so gentle with her, and he lets her take his toys, or backs away when she comes close to his food or chew bone. They lay at the front door together and she will use him as a pillow and they will just stare outside together. It is so cute. And of course he has gotten this idea that he is a lap dog, and all 60 pounds of him will lay across my lap at night as I watch TV. I take him to the local dog park quite a few times a week, and he just loves it. He has some favourite friends there that he likes to play with, and they just run and play together. Its so nice that he can be around other dogs, and just be a good dog. There is a pond near the dog park too and he loves going in the water. Oh by the way he is a soccer player too. He actually kicks the ball with his front paws and runs around playing soccer with the boys, it is so funny. He loves car rides. As soon as he hears my car keys he waits at the front door for me, and of course he gets to go where ever I go, he is so loyal to me. He is doing great with the training, he can be outside now off the leash and he never takes off. Sometimes he will chase our cat across the street, but he comes right back as soon as I call him.
                Anyway I hope things are doing well with you. I was almost tempted into getting another puppy from you we love Dakota so much, but my husband wont budge.
        Take care of yourself and your family. And a million thanks again for our wonderful dog, we really adore him.

Charlie is doing very well. He has brought us many hours of entertainment. Charlie has also served as the puppy for several of the marching band students, who have puppies back home. He has developed a liking for most all types of music but loves the Boston Brass. Charlie loves walking on the UW-L campus, where he makes lots of friends, and loves hiking with his puppy friends on the bluffs. Charlie went to the vet today for his rabies shot and weighed in at 28.2 pounds. Our vet is very pleased with Charlie's development.

Family loved Labs is the best place that I could have ever connected to. I was very leery at first about buying a puppy online. I was afraid of the kind of dog I would get and the kind of condition he/she would be in. I searched in my area and was not happy with what I was encountering. I did a search online for White Labs and found "Family Loved Labs". I sent them an email and Rosie called me with in the hour. I have never purchased a dog before and new nothing about Labs, except they are cute. Rosie walked me thru it all She took the time to explain the care she provides for her dogs and how she will continue to be a support to me after my adoption. Itï¿½s not a business for them (her family), they love their dogs and want other families to share the same great experiences they have everyday with their dogs.

So after we spoke, I went online and fell in love with a male puppy. My husband and I must have asked Rosie a million questions about the puppy, I.e temperament, and color, is he dominant or docile, can you send more pictures. She was patient and kind and answered every one of the questions that I had. We decided to adoptï¿½ We trusted Rosie at this point because you can genuinely feel the love she and her family have for their puppies when you talk to them. We picked out Max (AKA Champ). Rosie sent us pictures every week to see how he is growing and to see how cute he is. She really made us feel like we where with him and part of his life. I live in Connecticut so I was not able to go and play with him and make sure we are a good fit. Rosie description of him was dead on. WE LOVE OUR MAX. He is the best thing that has come into our lives. He is sweet, healthy and loving. I could not have asked for a more adorable, playful and beautiful puppy. So please, when you read this, know this letter comes from someone like yourself and believe you can trust ï¿½ Family Loved Labs Rosie and I still stay in touch and Max is still very much a part of their lives. We are even thinking about adopting another puppy from them.

Hi Larissa,
Great job on the webpage! We bought Ginger from you guys this summer. She is from Gunner & Mocha's litter in May. She is doing great and we love her so much! She is smart and learns pretty quick. She is a bundle of energy and goofy right now ;-)) We have a yellow lab named Bella and she is always trying to get her to play. Most of the time Bella cooperates. They have become great buddies! Our son Noah is loving the two of them alot! They are his snuggle buddies at night. We have a new baby grandson too and Ginger loves to smell him and sometimes wants to nibble his hands. We have to hold her back but I'm sure that they will be buddies too. Please tell your mom I said Hello. She was so helpful while we were waiting for Ginger to be ready to come home. You guys have something really special at Family Loved Labs! I look at your site occasionally just to see your puppies. You have such beautiful puppies! I have included some pictures from this summer. I will send more pictures soon. She has grown alot and she is almost as tall as Bella.
Take care!
Lisa

Rosie,
Here are a few pics of Wiley. He has been so good and so sweet. We are really excited.   We will send more pics soon. Just wanted to get a few to you right away. Thank you again for everything. We will give him a good home and he is already very loved.

Wiley (Booker x Summer Pup)

To all who are looking at the Family Loved Labs,

I just could not encourage anyone

MORE to buy a  lab here, they are incredible!!! We had a visit there and it surpassed all

expectations we had and hopes, one could not ask for a better environment for a puppy to

be born and raised in. It was an extremely positive experience for us as we went to visit my

son's puppy.    It is such  a loving, warm household with such attentive care and knowledgeable

experience in training and raising dogs. The dogs are absolutely adorable, friendly and so clean.

We would have loved to get a brother or sister of my son's dog, but it just is not a good

timing for us. But, I can not encourage others MORE to look into these dogs. They all

will pull at your heartstrings, they are so cute and so well taken care of.

Congrats to all who purchase a dog from Family Loved Labs take it from a person who had

labs all her life, these are beauties with character .

Rosie,

Bear is amazing. I attached recent pictures from when we returned from a walk. He is beautiful and everything we expected. He is very mellow, never barks, jumps, bites or nips. You can see in his eyes that all he wants to do is please. As you can see, I think he is a spitting image of Gunner.

He understood the invisible fence very quickly, it did not take much.

We had him neutered two weeks ago and everything went well. I expect him to get even mellower.

The vet we go to is in love with him. He said that chocolate labs are his favorite and the disposition Bear has is amazing. He indicated that he rarely sees labs like this in the Detroit area. He would take him in a minute.

The boys have made huge strides in their issues with dogs. They are very attached to Bear. I have to say that you could not have picked a better companion for Nico and Luke. They only have eyes for him.

Regards, Nick

Bear (Gunner x Coco Pup)

Rosie,

I thought you'd like this picture of Maggie I took today, on her one

year birthday.  She's doing great, and we love her so much!  She gets

along with the other dogs very well.  She loves going to the pond,

where we throw things in (not too far!) for her to retrieve.  She

always beats the older dogs, but they don't mind.

This picture of Maggie was taken with a birthday present I got for her.

Martha Stout

Hi Rosie! Mike asked me to send you a couple pictures of Coco. She's doing great, and absolutely LOVES the water. I took her to a pond yesterday where she did "dock jumping" for the first time, so there are some pictures from that. She's a really wonderful dog and is so happy. She's very well-behaved and mellow - we rarely have to use a leash with her around town, and when we go hiking or out in the country she's very good about staying with us. The only thing that we're working on with her is leaving her at home alone. She doesn't like her crate very much and actually has managed to push the door open after it's locked, so I think we'll try to set up an area in our basement that's nice and open for her - if you have any ideas, we'd appreciate them. I'm sure that while I wasn't working for the first 3-4 months that we had her she just got used to me being with her all day every day, but we'll work on her being home alone, so hopefully she'll get better with it.

Aside from that, she's a perfect dog - even our vet has said so, and actually asked where we got her for the next time that he gets a dog (we were happy to refer him to you). Mike and I are just really loving having her. She is in a very good home with us and couldn't ask for parents that love her more. She gets a lot of exercise, she goes with us everywhere she can, she spends a lot of the other time with my parents and their yellow lab Dodge (he's been in some other pictures that I've sent you), and she is certainly one of the family if not the biggest part of it! We couldn't be happier having her in our lives.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our baby - enjoy!

took these two days ago

Crosby is growing like mad, and getting strong as an ox. He and the cats seem to love

chasing one another; they also snuggle and sleep together sometimes. I, for one, am

astonished though; he lets us know when he needs to go out for a walk and weï¿½ve had

no accidents for several days. Iï¿½ve never had a puppy that learned so fast. While he does

forget, he knows what ï¿½offï¿½ means, and he comes to his name if not too preoccupied.

Crosby is most definitely a member of the family, a child for us, and we love him beyond words.

I will try to make some time for the reference letter next week; however the holidays and tight

client schedules have made finding time difficult. Best regards, Rick and Dyana

Crosby (Coco and Gunner Pup)

Rosie,  Sadie "Maddie" is doing great.

She is the sweetest puppy and very smart. She is also gorgeous!  She as

made our Christmas. She does not like to be left alone though. I think that we have spoiled her a bit! I am sending pictures as soon as I get them downloaded---I promise. Take Care, Lisa

Maddie (Gunner x Mocha Pup)

Hi Rosie! Candy is doing wonderful!!!She is soooo  pretty and we love her so very much. We are so luckyto have found ya'll and have her come from such a wonderful, caring

     Everyday Rick and I are in awe at how beautiful she is and she does wear us out --but we love her so much!!! We still miss our RJ very much but Candy helps fill that void with lots of play and kisses

Julie, Rick AND Candy  with love and sloppy kisses!!!

Candy (Coco and Gunner Pup)

Hello Rosie!

Our Annabelle Camille is just great. She is a WONDERFUL dog. She has taken to our family perfectly.

She still has her puppy ways some days. She likes to chew (but not as much as before) and has her

ï¿½friskyï¿½ times. But she is totally potty trained and has been for awhile. She obeys and listens really well.

She truly wants to please us. We just love her and canï¿½t imagine life without her. We love the color of her

eyes, kind of a hazel color and her fur is a dark chocolate just so rich and pretty.  Linda, Troy, Emma, Matt and Annabelle

THANKS ROSIE,

MURPHY IS AWESOME...QUITE THE LITTLE HEALER...SWEET, GENTLE, MELLOW.

SHE HAS QUICKLY BECOME PART OF OUR FAMILY.

SHE SLEEPS WITH HER HEAD ON MY SHOULDER, AND IS, AS A MATTER OF FACT

DOING THAT RIGHT NOW WATCHING ME TYPE, LOL. SHE IS GETTING SO BIG! LONG

, AND BEAUTIFUL...I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF SHE GOT TO 80-90 POUNDS...SHE

LOOKS LIKE DADDY, AND SITS THE SAME WAY.

I SLIPPED ON THE ICE YESTERDAY, AND ALONG WITH A HUGE GOOSE EGG, CAME

HEADACHE, THE REST YOU CAN IMAGINE. MURPHY STAYED RIGHT WITH ME, AND

KEEPS PUTTING HER HEAD ON MINE, WHERE THE BUMP IS....

SHE HAS A GREAT SCENT...IF I HAD HAD THE TIME, I WOULD HAVE LOOKED INTO

SEARCH AND RESCUE...SHE HAS THE SCENT, AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT

FOR BOTH MOLLY AND I.

SO MOLLY'S MURPHY BROWN IS THE BEST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO US IN A LONG TIME

....SHE HAS WRAPPED HERSELF AROUND OUR HEARTS.

Christa (Coco and Gunner Pup)

I had been looking for the "perfect puppy" (chocolate lab) for a while, when my hairdresser told me about FindPuppies.com. She said that her brotherhad a puppy  shipped, and it was not as expensive as he thought. I went to the website and found  lots of puppies that I liked, but I'm so glad that I went with Family Loved Labs. We have taken our puppy to the veterinarian, where we were told, "She's perfect!". We adore our puppy, Maggie, and had only positive experiences in getting her. I was kind

of nervous about having a puppy shipped to me, but she arrived with two toys and water, and wasn't traumatized at all. I was even emailed pictures of her every week, until shewas eight weeks old and ready to leave her mom. The breeder has gone above and beyond when it comes to support. I still email the breeder and send pictures of Maggie. I highly recommend Family Loved Labs if you are looking for a puppy.

Please tell Larissa we know how much she must be missing Sandy, but to take comfort in the fact that she is getting more love than she knows what to do with. She is truly a GREAT dog and in this short time has brought us all so much love, joy and fun. The first day she was apprehensive about going in the yard but now she LOVES it. She runs and plays with Minnie and plays "tag". It is so funny and wonderful to see. Funny story, yesterday my son Kevin was in the backyard. Sandy and Minnie were inside looking out at him. All of a sudden, Sandy stood up on her hind legs and pulled down the handle of the door with her front paws. She ran outside to pee, gave him a lick and ran back inside! Kevin stood there in amazement and immediately called me. Also, we bought her a long purple funny looking doggie which is a squeeky toy, she throws it, runs after it then brings it to us to pull. She sleeps with it all night in her crate (sometimes hugging it). So adorable ! There are no words to express how much we love and enjoy every minute with her. I am very grateful to have found your website and that we have her here with us today.

Hi Rosie,
We are SO happy with Sandy! She's doing great, she's so calm and peaceful indoors, and a ton of fun outdoors! She's everything you said she'd be. She is super good with the kids, she loves sitting with them and watching TV. My teenager and her are very close, she sits by his feet when he's on the computer, and jumps up on his bed when he's playing his video games. They love chasing each around in the backyard and he likes taking her to the park across the street. Minnie didn't really get along with Sandy in the beginning, but now they're getting along just fine. We are just SO glad we picked her. Here are some pictures

:

Hello Rosie,

    Its just us Buzanoski's from Washington. We just want you to know that Andy (sean) is still doing good with us. He made a puppy pal in our apt. complex the other dog is a chocolate lab... they get along real well, they wrestle all the time. I think they could play for ever if we let them. He's real smart. We taught him to sit, put both of his paws out at one time to shake, lay down, and he's learning to roll over. He goes crazy when there's a treat involved. HaHa. We love him very much.

Thanx,

      Roxy, Adam, & Andy

Andy "Sean" (Booker x Sadie Pup)

He is going to be a wonderful dog!

Still planning on getting him certified

as a therapy dog when he is old enough -

and trained enough!   Jill

Caliber (Carley and ExCaliber)

Sydney  "Living it up in California"

He is such a sweet boy with a gentle and calm spirit.

He has been so easy to train. Paige taught him to shake

and he is leading very well on the leash. He walks Paige

to school every morning about a 2 mile walk. If he doesn't

get to walk her he gets this sad look on his face. Housetraining

is going very well with all of the moving he has done and only

2 accidents I'm impressed. He kennels up beautifully, if he balks

with me I just show him a treat and he is in that crate waiting for me.

He sleeps through the night without a peep from him.  I'm sending

some pictures for you to put on the website. They were taken yesterday

on his 5 month old birthday. He's a handsome boy I am guessing but I'd say

he is a good 55 to 60 pounds. We call him our Gentle Giant.

Sydney is a wonderful dog, and is everything that you said he would be. Such a calm and well mannered guy with the sweetest face. We are so happy to have him with us.

Hi Rosie,

Sophie is adorable, delightful, wonderful, beautiful...not to mention adjusting very well to her new environment!!!

     The retirement extravaganza was better even than we could have wished. Sophie divided her time between mingling with our guests outdoors and napping in the air conditioning. She added a very special ambiance to the event, and her social graces are impeccable.

     Jesse adores her, they are quite a site together. He appears to be teaching her everything she needs to know about life at little bay farm.

Best regards,

cynthia

What a special girl, our sophie!! she most certainly charmed everyone when we visited dr. shuler.... thank you Rosie, for helping us to obtain the very best partner for jesse. they are perfect.

Hello
He's doing well. Slept ok lastnight. We took a few pictures today and when I get them downloaded I'll send them over. I think we're going to call him Sydney. We really like that name. Anyway, thanks again for everything and we'll speak soon.

Amy
He's doing very well. He loved going to Canada. He made good friends with my mom's dog. I think he likes him cause he is just his size. He's very well behaved. Still working on the potty training, he'll get there. Anyway, I've enclosed some photos.

Hi Rosie,

   Snowie is doing really well and has been growing

like  crazy.  Snowie is a complete sweetheart except at 6 in

the morning when she is as ferocious as she can be- then

it is definitely time to play!

     Our lives have changed dramatically but only for

the better and we wouldn't trade our new family for

the world. We love our little girl!

   We have taken sooooo many pictures so once we

upload  them, we will be sure to send you a link to the

photos  so you can see how big she has gotten.

    Thank you again for helping us bring such a great

puppy into our home. Hope all is well with your

family.

Take care,

Beth and Scott

Thanks again. I felt really comfortable buying a puppy from you without even seeing it in person. You really care about your dogs and it shows! Caliber is such a good dog!

I will keep you updated! Jill

Phoenix is 19 pounds and looking quite strapping. His behavior is perfect. He handles the crate so well. When he get a little overactive in session, I am able to put him in. No fuss. He just goes to sleep. Very mellow guy. I need to send you a pic of the two dogs now playing tug-of war. He continues to get rave reviews! Jeff

Finiancial Planner Ben and his wife Laurie adopted KODA (Snow):

Koda is doing well.   He slept through the night last night which is GREAT! He is a lot of fun. We took him out on the river today and he loves it. He is absolutely fearless. He swam for the first time and is going up and down stairs.

Ben

You helped us pick out a wonderful dog. I was a little worried about not seeing him (in person) but with all the pictures you sent, e-mails, and phone conversations; you made the experience very enjoyable.

I attached a few pictures for you.   Thanks again,    Ben

Hi Rosie:

Just a quick note - Caliber is doing fine. Just had him into the vet again. There is a tech there that is looking for a big Chocolate Lab - when they heard about Caliber, they wanted more info. I gave them your website. I guess when you bring in an 11 week old that has a "perfect shape" and weighs in at 19.7, people get excited!

I will try my best to get you some pictures soon!
