Testimonials
All of our puppies have gone to very nice, loving, and
caring homes.  Here are some pics of some very proud
new owners.
Brandy went to South Central
Pennsylvania to live with her
new family.  She is very happy
with her new home.
Virginia welcomes their newest
addition and our little lady Isabella
sure has adapted to the lifestyle of a
Southern Belle.  Her sweetness and
charm are a perfect match for her
new family!
Abe went to Alexandria
Pennsylvania to be a
companion and best friend
for his new owner.  He was
so delighted to finally come
and pick up Abe and take
him home.
Sally went to live with Gary and Debbie
and their children from Presto, PA.  They
are such a nice family.  Sally is sure to
have a good home.  She even has a new
brother named Linus to play with.  Linus
is a cocker spaniel dog as well.
 
Home
Gus has found a  very happy home.  Here is
what his new family has to say.......

Dear Cheryl,

We cannot thank you enough for Gus, for
letting him come into our lives; for
providing us with such a brilliant young
animal and for all the other really neat
things for which we owe you thanks...

You taught him his name perfectly;
thanks....Gus comes whenever we call for
Gus.  He has grown so much; you would not
believe,,,at least a couple of pounds and a
good inch taller.

He has had only about three accidents and
most of them have been my fault; he has
taken to Kasper (our Grandson) like fish to
water....he loves all of all our neighbors!  
They all love Gus.

We will take some pictures of our baby Gus
and send to you; most gracious and kind
thanks for Gus.

God Bless,
Honey and Dave
Dave and Honey just love
Gus!
Mr. Bojangles sending well wishes
from his new home!  Boy has he
gotten big, and has grown into a
handsome fella!
Cracker Jack looks right at home
with his new family!  She looks so
sweet sitting with the children!  
They just adore their new puppy!
Sweet Abby comfortable as can be
with her new family!  She is so
sweet!  She has definitely warmed
her way into their hearts!
Nittany became a part of our family on July 1, 2006.  We have four
children who absolutely adore him.  He knows everyone by their name.  
Nittany loves to play, cuddle, and "speak" when asked.  I think our
daughter who is 12 said it best when she said. "Mom, I've never
experienced happiness like this before!"  Nittany makes us all happy.  
The Bashaws, Bob, Megan, Cecilia, Colin, Nathan and Sara.
Emma is a Newfoundland hound who
just loves her new companion Amelia.  
Aren't they sweet!
Joan writes: "My puppy is almost a
year old now. She has brought me so
much joy and a place to put my
energy. She has filled a void in my
life. She was so easy to potty train
and now becoming an obedient best
buddy."
Bonnie Blue at 4 months, happy
and content with her beautiful new
family in Pittsburgh, PA.  
As you can see Anjil is getting so big it's hard to
believe she will be 6 months old in 13 days. She is
doing really well with the crate training. She rarely
has any accidents in the house now. She went for
her 3 month checkup and the vet says she is doing
wonderful. As always it was a blessing finding your
website on that day back in April. We still visit your
Web page weekly and it’s a joy to see all the
beautiful puppies.
Yours truly,
George and Sue Turner.
Larry and I were just saying that God sent Max to us.  He is
so loving and we love him with all our heart. I promise you
he will always have the best care a puppy could have.   He
is such a joy and a pleasure. He has been house broken
for about a month or better now. Everyone just loves his
big fuzzy feet and his sweet face. I just wanted to thank you
again for all you have done for me and my family. Take
Care.
Love from,
Larry, Erma & Max

CHERYL,

THE GIRLS ARE DOING GREAT! THEY HAVE ADOPTED TO OUR
HOME BEAUTIFULLY AND ARE THE HIT OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.  I BARELY GOT ANYTHING DONE OVER
THE WEEKEND BECAUSE OF ALL THE COMPANY!!!

THEY ARE EATING REALLY WELL AND THEY WALK TO  THE
DOOR TO GO OUTSIDE.  WE HAVE ONLY HAD 2 ACCIDENTS SO
FAR AND NONE IN THE KENNELS.  THE GIRLS REALLY LIKE TO
PLAY.  THEY BOTH LOVE TO SNUGGLE ON STEVE'S LAP  EVERY
NIGHT AND FALL A SLEEP ON HIM!

LOVE ALWAYS BARB
Sophie has discovered her cuddle  
toy. She likes the bean bed and the chew toy. She has
peed outside 5 out of 6 times for the first day!
We are so glad to have her.
Sophie is now 5 months old and  
doing very well. Here are two photos of her taken today.
We continue to enjoy her. I believe that her house
breaking is complete. She is still very playful as I try to train
her to come and sit and stay but she understands very
well. She just wants to have fun. She walks on the lead
very well and is the neighborhood favorite with people and  
other dogs. We are delighted with her.

Love to all, Cliff and Mary
We celebrated Ruby Grace's first birthday in July and recently
celebrated her first year anniversary with us.  She is a little
bundle of trouble I have to tell you.  She's all about getting
attention.  I can't tell you how many kleenex I've cleaned up.  
She pulls them out of the little can next to my sofa and has a
tissue party.  She loves to fetch.  We have a tennis racket and
we hit the ball out back and she runs and runs for it, always
returning with that nub just a going.  She's absolutely relentless
once we've started.  We have to take the ball away and put it
up for her to stop.   She has 3 favorite toys.  She can recognize
them by name, go and get them, and bring them right back.  
Ball, Baby and Squeak.  She tilts her head every time you
speak to her - super intelligent !!    She's still terrorizing the cat  
and the cat is still putting her in her place.  She loves to play.
We are so grateful to you for letting us have Ruby, she has
been exactly what we needed to keep focused this past year
with all the bad things happening.  She was the one shining
light that kept us going.  Bless You !

Take Care.

Dear Cheryl,
Wyatt is doing really well. He is ringing the bell
when it is time to go out. We call him the smartest
puppy in America. He really is a very smart, sweet
and well behaved puppy. We all just love and adore
him. Thank you again!
Love,
The Skovira Family.
Hi Cheryl, Ruthie is doing great. She had a vet appt. today
and she is almost 10lbs. Everyone loves her and
comments whenever we go places. She has brought such
joy to the family.  She is a big hit everywhere we go.
Thanks Cheryl.
Love the Trammells
Patches just wanted to say Merry Christmas
from his new home in Penn Hills Pa!

Thanks!

Lainey is so cute and cuddly we love
her to death and she has adapted well
to her new home.
John
Peanut still continues to bring joy to
our home.  I have attached 2 family
pics of us and her new place to hang
when told she can't come and sit on
our laps (coffee table).  It is pretty
funny, if she is "missing" we check
there. She is now 6.5 lbs & on the 26th
when she had her first check-up she
was 5.4 lbs. Dinene
George thinks that Jakey is just the smartest little
puppy!  He listens and tilts his head whenever we
talk to him and if I say "Where's your Daddy?" --he
flies across the room and jumps on George's lap!  
What a great way to wake up from a nap!  He has
now figured out that he has a voice so he's quite a
"talker".  Bailey has taught him to howl when he
wants something, growl at his brothers for
food/toys- he's quite a little talker!  What a great
guy!!  We sure love him!    Susan
Dear Cheryl,

I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful dog.  We got our puppy Sirie 17 years ago.  He was so sweet and we
fell in love right away.  He went to work with me every day and never complained.  What a great dog he was.  He loved
our whole family and welcomed everyone who came to visit.  Sirie passed away last month  and I can't even begin to
tell you, how painful it was to say good bye to a very dear friend.  I miss him in the morning, when he would sit with me
while I drank my coffee.  I miss him riding in my truck.  Our whole family misses him.
You know, we never had a single problem with Sirie.  What a great dog and what a great breeder.   I can't tell you how
thankful we were for our puppy.
He really added a lot to our home.  He grew up with our kids and never asked for the car keys, never ran around and
got drunk, was never on drugs, never talked back,  he just loved us.  We really miss him.
Cheryl, thank you for your encouraging words and for being there when our family has been going through such a
difficult time.  
We want another puppy.  Soon, I will call you.   Please keep us in mind when you have a litter that looks like our Sirie.

Love,
Larry and Family.

Dear Mama Cheryl and Daddy Charlie,  

How are both of you doing?  I miss you, but things
are great here in Powhatan County.  My mama tells
me that all of my cousins have been adopted.  
Wow!!!  We looked at their pictures on your web
site, but mom tells me that none are as precious as
me.  She sure is 'sweet' on me!!!!! But Mom and I
really think they are adorable.  Do you miss me?  I
am really growing.  You may not recgnize me!!!  Just
kidding.  You could never forget a guy like me!!!

I guess Mom may have told you that I am in boot
camp.  What a joke!!  All I have to do is listen, sit, go
down, leave it and I get a treat.  I like the other pups
in my class, but all they want to do is sniff.  So I sniff
back.  They smell like they need a bath.  Mom tells
me the same thing sometimes.  Oh well, I think my
smell is just fine.  I have even learned to tap a bell
on the door to go outside.  Sometimes, I do it just to
get attention.  It's amazing how fast my parents
come running.  But that is my secret, don't tell them.

I will send you a picture of me really soon.  

Love you,
Ringo Starr Tuffy Finch
Dear Cheryl,
Thought you'd appreciate some more pictures. We have been
dog-sitting our son's dog this past weekend and Toby has
fallen in love with him. Neeko, our son's dog is so gentle and
just loves Toby as the pictures show.  Toby has been chewing
on Neeko's ear and his tail and Neeko has been wonderful with
him. Neeko is about two and half years old and is a very active
dog, but has been very very good with Toby. We have had
Neeko in our house many times since my son first had him and
he does very well with other dogs. Toby is doing very well and
is growing as you can see. He loves the attention that two
adults without kids in the house can give---always wants to be
near you. We had a wonderful Christmas with our children and
their spouses and Toby was the hit of all our gatherings.

Happy Holidays,
Bob and (Lee Anne)
Good morning Cheryl,
Yuengling is a total blessing.   I have to tell you,
my older dogs are keeping their distance, and
being very cautious.    Ember on the other hand,
you would swear her and Yuengling came from
the same litter.  They are inseparable!  I love
watching them play, plus it makes them sleep so
much better at night.

Hi Cheryl,

What a wonderful week we have had with our babies!!!!
With two puppies we have received double love and fun in
getting them adjusted to their new home.  Dawson and
Brody are continuing  to do well with their training.
We can tell you one thing and that is they love to eat.
They eat so fast, we can't even make a picture of them
eating.  As of now they are good travelers as they find
them a spot on our lap and go to sleep.We have two
beautiful puppies and we thank you for letting us adopt
them. We will continue to update you with pictures.

Love,
Bill , Kathy, Dawson and Brody  XOXOXO
Dear Cheryl,

Ok, I went on site tonight and saw the crew of adoptees (my new word)  
and saw you have no puppies.  Wonder why?  I know, because they are  
beautiful, loving and gently home raised.  Why do I know this?  I  
have Zoe who is so beautiful but she is so loving.  I currently have  
three grandchildren under seven with us and Zoe loves them all.  The  
ultimate was when our grand adorable Amelia, 7 years of age, wanted to  
take Zoe to bed with her.  First time her Mom and Dad, our daughter  
and son in law had a chance to escape for a week.  They have a goofy,  
lovable Irish Setter who sleeps with Amelia every night.  Amelia,  
missing her companion, asked if Zoe could sleep with her.  We said OK  
but when we went to bed, she would come with us as she has always  
slept with us since she was a very young puppy. Well, you can imagine  
what Vic and I saw when we went to retrieve our other bed snuggler.   
As we went in, under the covers and barely visible was Zoe.  The  
heat radiated up and she was not in any hurry to leave.  How do you  
tell people what a wonderful, loving, comforting soul, a wet nose and  
a warm body can be.
She and Darby are so much fun and they are like sisters with all the  
sibling rivalry included but every day at the office we hear the  
employees interacting with them and they are like children.  In and  
out of mischief, into pocketbooks to run with treasures and just  
plain fun.  They are truly loved by all.  If I could have ten I  
would.  Just an update on Zoe.  We were inundated with snow today.  I  
would like spring to come and I had 25 wild turkeys looking for food  
in my backyard today.  Life is good!!!  I hope you are mending from  
your recent loss of your Mom and are treasuring the good times and  
the special place she had in the lives she touched every day.

Hi Cheryl,

I took the puppies to the beach this week.  It is only a few minutes walk,
but we took the car.  I thought they would be a little frightened at the
ocean, but their main interest seemed to be in playing in the sand.
They are using the bell to go outside and doing very well.  I was
teaching Brodie how to use the bell,but Dawson caught on much
faster.  They are really good little puppies and we are enjoying them
very much.
I took them to the vet and they passed with flying colors.
Everyone just fell in love with them, But who wouldn't!!!!!!!
Just keeping in touch.
Hope everyone is well !
Love, Bill, Kathy, Brodie and Dawson
Hi Grandma Cheryl,  
Greetings from me (Shelby) and my mom and dad
and Tucker, too.  As you can see I am quite the cute
little guy.  My mom and dad really love me and are
thankful to you and mama Rachel for beginning this
wonderful journey for me.  I continue to make them
laugh and love me.  My brother Tucker and I are very
happy boys.  I hope all of my Dawson brothers and
sisters are doing well.  I love to follow my mother
around and "help", especially in the kitchen and the
garden.  I "help" daddy in the garage, too.(Mom made
sure there's a treat jar out in the garage, too.)  
God Bless  Love, Shelby Beard  
Dear Cheryl,
Aspen has grown so much in the past week and is learning
so fast.  She is so entertaining and a real joy to spend time
with.  She gets excited as soon as any of us walk into the
room and has brought many, many smiles to our family.  
Thank you so much!!

We hope all is well with you, your family, and your
WONDERFUL girls!

Talk to you soon and we will continue to keep you posted
on Aspens' growth.

Take care---Chris--Christine--Rachel--Hannah Nelson
Hello Cheryl,  
We are just enjoying our little girl pup, is it possible to spoil a
dog too much?  She is kissed and loved all day and I mean ALL
day long.  She is sleeping till 5 in the morning and takes lots of
little naps throughout the day.  She had a big day today, she
went to the groomer to have her nails and hair paw trimmed,
She was so good and didn't even cry,  The lady just loved her
and was so gentle, we are so pleased with her trim.  Then we
visited my Grandmother again since she lived a few blocks
away.  She was sporting her new pink sweater and was just
adorable,  my Grandmother really enjoyed her visit.  I think I will
take her often because I haven't seen my Grandmother that
excited in a long time.  She just loves her and put her to sleep
again on her lap tucked in her sweater.  Then it was home to
eat and play a little, then she went to school.  I wasn't even in
the doors and the office staff were coming out to see her.  She
was so friendly and giving kisses.  In Hannah's 6th grade class
she was absolutely adored.  Hannah's teacher who has 3
cockers was so praising of her and thought that she was just
beautiful.  She asked if she could come out to recess.  So out
we went with all the kids,  I have pictures of her in school.  
There were 30 or more kids around her at any given moment
and a few times she was running with all the kids lined up
beside her---it was hilarious!!!!!  Aspen was so good and
friendly and received a lot of offers to be taken home.  
Needless to say she is socializing and we just love her more
each day.   I am trading my weekday work days for weekend
time so I can be home with her as much as possible.  I came
home from work last night and she greeted me as if it was years
since she saw me.  We think of you often and wonder how the
rest of the gang is doing.  Will send pictures soon.  Hope all is
well.  Love, Christine & family
Hi everyone,

I sure miss you all but I am settling in here with my new mom and
dad  
an my new house.   I have a really big yard and I love to run all  
around but they keep me on a short 20 ft leash.  bummer.  I am  
meeting the family and friend's and everyone seems to love me.  I
am  
sure fast, lightning fast they say.  I also have some very sharp  
teeth.  My mom went out today bought me some new toys to keep
me busy  
and said she signed me up for school.  I don't know about this.  I'll  
let ya know how it works our.  My first day of school is March 31st.  
 
It will be at the  Pet Smart Store.   Please tell Amy I really miss  
her and that I am sorry I didn't get to say bye to her before I  
left.  Maybe someday my mom and dad will take a ride and bring
me up  
to see everyone.  I love and miss you all, I really do.  Now here
are  
the pictures my mom has been promising but I seem to keep her a
bit  
busy.

Dear Cheryl,
Hello my dear friend and Blessings to you and your family.

I was just looking at your web page and all the puppies going to their special families.
They are just so precious to see and know how much they are going to be loved and be
a blessings to each one in their new home.....Iam liking the all black and Buff ones
now.....each one is special no matter what color. :)

I am enjoying the West and today Callie and I were out having our lunch on the
patio(with a jacket on)but still pretty nice compared to the Vt winters....

I am so thankful to be here  and Callie loves going to my daughters and the boys just
love her now to pieces :) she can be loose in their yard and how she enjoys that and
barking at all the dogs going by.....God is Good!
I look forward to just coming home if I have been out knowing that Callie is waiting for
me. I couldn't go to Fla this year and leave her...I would miss her..
.
I think often of you and hope you are well and just hanging on to all your wonderful
memories of your mom and Aunt too.
Stay well, I hope Charlie is giving you special attention,:)  you are very special and dear
not only to me but to many people who know YOU! Much love, Joan and Callie xoxo

Hi Mrs. Dawson,
Here is a new picture of Anjil at 7 months along Allie. They are
getting along so well now. Anjil has such a sweet disposition
everybody who see's her can't believe how friendly she is. The
vet's just love her; we will be setting up an appointment soon with
them to get her fixed. The girl who cut's her hair wants to take her
home with her. She really just loves attention. I love the picture of
her and us on your website. As always thanks for the joy that one
of your girls has brought into our lives.
Talk to you soon, George and Sue Turner.   
Dear Cheryl,
I just wanted to let you I took max to the vet on Friday,you would have thought there was celebrity coming through the
doors,Everyone was so excited to see him and he made a very good impression with his charming attitude.He gave the
vet and the other girls kisses.even all the customers thought he was just so sweet and cute.The vet said he is doing
very well he is up to 7lb 7oz. He's our bed buddy he sleeps every night between our pillows at our head,and never
moves all night,but he don't like the alarm clock guess he's like all of us.Take care i will send you more pictures when i
get them down loaded there's has been two death's in our family in less then a week both were our nephews.Send
them soon.
Love, Erma
Cheryl-  All is well down here and yes, the weather is getting warm and the babies are really well-behaved and LOVED!  Jakey
went for a 2 mile walk this morning- when i'ts still cool- with his brothers and will have a big play time this afternoon chasing his
ball.  He is getting very good at catching it in mid- air!  George says he has never seen a dog with so much enthusiasm and
every day comments on how Jakey just "loves his life"!  He is quite the little man in getting what he wants- whether from his
brothers or from me.
We always check your website and see your babies- your latest litters are gorgeous!    I think Jakey is very much like his
mother in that he always wants to be held and sit on my lap- or George's lap.  He is just a wonderful little boy!
I'm attaching a few pics that I just took a minute ago.  Oh, I gave them all a bath on Sunday and he was very good in the tub.  
He likes to drink out of the hose  and roll in the grass!
I'll keep checking to see your new puppies.  Who is the mother?
Stay well and I hope you are seeing some signs of spring.  I'm sure that Mother's Day will also be a tough time for you and our
thoughts will be with you- sad at the loss of your Mom and happy that you will have new puppies!
Much love and thanks to you-  Susan
Cheryl-  Just thought I'd
tell you that George
wonders "Where did
Jakey come from?"  He is
just the cutest, full of
energy, full of personality
puppy we've ever seen!  
He is just an amazing
little guy-just loves every
day of life!  thanks for a
sweetie!  Love & hugs  
Susan


PS-  Give Hatttie a big
hug and thanks from me
and Jakey
Dear family,

I am home now.  I went pee in the yard already but it was to cold to  
play.  I cried a little cause I miss you all very much.  My dad is  
holding me now and keeping me very warm.    Thank you for taking such  
good care of me and I will write again soon.  Please never forget me  
cause I will never forget you.

Love & licks

Hi Cheryl,

Hope you are doing well.  It's hard to believe we've had Rosie for 2 weeks now.  She's doing wonderful and has
adjusted very easily to her new home and family.  She and Annie are great friends now, but Annie still needs to keep
her in check when she get too rambunctious.  She loves Annies tail, it's like her personal living, moving toy!  She's
very nosey (Nosey Rosie), she poked her head through the lattice under our deck yesterday and got stuck, luckily I
was standing right there and helped her get it out, she started to panic.  She makes us laugh all the time (she's such
a little clutz), and wants to be where ever the action is.  

I got her an indoor/outdoor pen, which has come in very handy for when I'm doing things around the house and
can't watch her closely, but don't want to put her in the crate.  She is good when she needs to go in there, but
sleeps at night in the bed with Jon, Annie and myself.  She sleeps up at our heads curled up between our pillows.  
She's very cuddly and loving, and has been great about sleeping through the night with no accidents.

She has walked great on the leash from day one, but sometimes gets between your feet just trying to keep up.  She
will sit and stay, come most of the time, but we're working on the backing away once she gets to you when you bend
down to touch her or pick her up (she thinks it's a game and will try and run at the last minute).  So I'm learning from
my Ceasar Millan, (Dog Whisperer) book that she should let me touch her collar before she gets rewarded for
coming.  We started working on down today and she caught on right away, she even rolled over (not sure weather
that was a fluke or not since I didn't say "roll over" - she see's Annie do that for treats).  It may have just been
excited playing on her part.  I'm just impressed with how quick they learn at this age.

I've been trying to get her exposed to lots of situations, noises and people, she's already been to several ball
games, and loves going out.  She actually watches between playing in the grass and with her toys we take, and has
the ability to find every piece of goose poop in the area!  The girls have named her their mascot.  They lost most of
their games last year and won their first 2 this year - so they think she's their good luck charm.

So incase you were wondering...things are going great.  In fact she's been playing all morning and is under my feet
asleep right now.  She plays hard and sleeps hard.  We couldn't be happier with the newest member of our family.  
I've attatched some pictures that I captioned - hope you enjoy seeing them.  I'll update you again later.

Take Care,
Midge Greenfield (Jon, Tyler, Megan, Annie and Rosie also)
