Hi Anne,
We took Riley to his 13 week check up today and he is a whopping 32 POUNDS!!! He was 22 pounds two and half weeks ago! WOW can he eat! We can't believe how big he's getting.
He is fully potty trained, knows how to sit, stay, shake, give a "high five", lie down and is learning how to roll over. He is truly everything we could have ever asked for in a Golden.
Thank you again for providing us with such a fantastic new member for our family. We'll send more photos and updates as he grows (which is like lightening!!!!).

Luka is wonderful-he's a teen pup at about 45lbs and smart as a whip...thank you Ann. We've referred your site onto friends and others since they ask about you when they meet Luka. I'm horrible at photo attachment etc. - I still live with one foot in the old ages. I'll have Rog or a boy send one. Happy holidays -- I'm just recovering from a much needed hip surgery and all is busy as ever but well. Sorry to have not gotten to you sooner w/ news of Luka...he is a beauty.
Thanks again!

Hi Anne,
How are you? How are the new pups? I bet they are all enjoying the nice weather and romping in the backyard!
Adam and I have a friend's wedding in Janesville on September 5th. We were wondering if you would be available to babysit both Maggie and Morris for Friday and Saturday night?? If so, we would probably drop them off in the afternoon on Friday and pick them up in the afternoon on Sunday.
Here are some current pictures of the cutest puppies in the world!

Dear Anne
Today River is 15 weeks old and weighs 31 pounds. He such a wonderful puppy. He is well behaved with a great personality. He loves going to puppy training class on Tuesday evenings. He loves to chase leaves, play with his many toys, go for walks and play with our seven year old daughter, Morgana. River likes to go for car rides, go to the pet store, the dog park, and other places he is the center attention any where he goes.
Our 15 year female cat, Velcro is learning to adjust to having a puppy in the house. We have yet to see them playing together.
Anne we couldn't have asked for a much better member to the family. Your excellent devotion, love, time, and care to breeding a golden retriever that truly shows what this breed is all about. Keep up the excellent work.
Here are some photos.
Love,
Cassandra, Lewis and Morgana

Anne,
Here are some pictures of Chloe taken today at 13 weeks. I think she looks kind of like her dad in the first picture. As you can see she has just about doubled in size since we brought her home. She's a very fun and sweet little puppy. She's very smart and has definite likes and dislikes (Sticks and dirty socks are favorites.). She started puppy class last week and got to see her brother! It's one of Jodie's pups named River. They were happy to see each other and wrestled during free play time.
Thanks for starting the training. She just keeps learning new things.
I'll keep you updated.

Hi Anne,
He is doing really well.We have named him Sam...sammie. We are so impressed with his potty training...and thrilled. He whines to tell us when he has to go and always seems to want to behave. He is awesome with Emma. Always trying to be so gentle. If only she would play with him, would he then feel complete,(I think). We have taken him on a couple car rides and are hoping with warmer weather we can began our walks and bike rides. He loves our cats and one of them loves his kisses. I must tell you...we had an appt. right here in town to buy golden retriever puppies. Where we would have paid $200 less and had no car time. Your love for the dogs and devotion to their well being is what made up our minds to drive over an hour and pay more money for less heartache and stress in the future. Thanks. It is so nice to see a TRUE breeder. Taking the time to not only register, care and train the dogs. But care enough about there future to prepare them for it, the right way. Sam is our 2nd baby...and because of your care he is happier and best of all... so are we. I have not seen my husband so happy since before our dane passed way. Sam seems to be really taken with him as well....following him with toy in mouth ready for action at any moment. :)lol
I have enclosed some pictures. I am hoping I will get a lot more over the next few weeks. My husband and I were worried he was lonely the first couple days. He mentioned if you would take $150 for any remaining puppy we would be out there asap. :) haha
Please let me know if you get the pictures ok. Thanks again Anne.

Hello.
I just wanted to let you know that Casey has settled in really well here and had no troubles even right from day one. I thought for the first few days or nights he would cry and be homesick but he never did. I kept him so busy and gave him so much attention that I don't think he had time to even think about it. My Mom joked to me that if I didn't start putting him down and letting him walk on his own that he would forget that he had legs. I'm happy to say that his legs still work perfectly fine and are quite active.
He is doing very well on potty training and now asks for the door and we have hardly had any accidents at all. Casey learns things very quickly and is extremely bright. You taught him how to sit very nicely and from that I taught him to sit pretty. He walks on a leash quite well now and we have gone for several walks out here. I like to take him out in the huge fields away from any roads and after he's been walking well on his leash for a while I take it off and we have fun walking together that way. He still stays by me and if I stop he comes right by me and sits at my side. The other day he started fetching so we will be working on that now.
Casey is already more than I ever even expected for him to be especially at his age. I was already in love with him but his intelligence, sweet temperament, and his gentle soul are so amazing to me that not a day will ever go by when I don't feel blessed to have him in my life. He means more to me than you will ever know.
Keep up your good pack! My Mom may still get a puppy from you someday because she is in love with Casey too and liked how well you took care of your dogs and puppies as well as how well behaved your dogs were. I will send you an e-mail every now and again to let you know how things are going. Thank you again for everything.
Take Care, Michelle

Just wanted to give you a quick update on Daisy. She is doing well - she and Amalia get along great. Only a few accidents in the house, but mostly because she is scared of the cats and they will occasionally back her into a corner. Thanks again for all the training you did with her - it is nice to have a puppy that knows sit and off already. Now we are working on getting her to walk nicely on a leash and to bark or whine when she needs to go outside.
Amber, Sam & Amalia Edwinson

Good evening.
I thought maybe you would like to see several pictures of Fletcher after the one month we have had him. We sure are enjoying him. Especially the last week, he has become more playful and out-going looking forward to walks of which we do about 2 miles a day. I took him to the vet yesterday for another shot. He has gained 11 in the month. Now weighs 32 lbs. I have also included a front view of our house. My office and where Fletcher sleeps is just to the left of the garage doors. This room has a patio door opening to our back yard. I can easily let him in and out from my desk.
Thanks for the nice dog. We have had many compliments on his looks and how well he is behaving for a pup.

Here are some pictures of our baby. We named her Heide because she likes to go under and on things. At her last vet check-up, she was 15 1/2 lbs. She has her sister beat by about 2 lbs.
She is potty trained and has been for a couple of weeks now. She sleeps the night, can give paw and picked up on sit the second day. She is a real joy. She loves the snow and gets along well with the other dogs in the family. As for the cats, she would like to play, but they are just tolerating her for now. Again hope you like to see how much she has grown and will keep in touch.

Jazzy's puppy born 12-1-2008
All are good - getting bigger everyday. We brought Gabby home 3 weeks ago weighing 12 pounds. She weighed in at 20 lbs at her checkup on Saturday. Phoebe is growing, too, although not quite as exponentially.
Doreen
Last week, Gabby weighed in at 24.8 lbs. This week at puppy class she weighed in at 28 lbs. She just keeps getting taller and longer! She's now 14 weeks old.

Anne,
Just wanted to shoot you an email and let you know we are enjoying little Tanner and doing much training. He is very quick to catch on. He and our dog Rudy are doing great together.
Rollie and Deb
Hi Anne!
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thought you might enjoy the latest picture of Tanner. He's quite the character. 78 pounds at just short of 10 months. Loves to go for rides in the car and long, long walks. Learning more everyday. We're afraid someday he may be smarter than us! Take care.

Here's a few pictures of Lacey, the light colored one, and my other golden Tina.
Lacey just weighed in at 53 lbs. She is getting tall!! but, still is such a well behaved little girl! Knock on wood, she really hasn't chewed up anything, yet. And I let her roam the house when I am gone. As a matter of fact, I have never caged her. She just plays with all the cats and stuffed animals.
I am so glad that I got her.She really adds quite a bit to the family!

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas! And, Thank you again for Lacey.
Tomorrow it will be a year since we picked her up. She has turned out to be a great little kid. This is a picture of her and her big "sister" asleep on the couch. She's the one asleep sitting up! Also a picture of her at her first birthday. I think she looks a little like her dad.
Any how have a happy holidays, Dean
