EMMIE MAYEmmie has been growing like a weed and we are loving how easy of a puppy she has been! She is super smart! We are in the middle of puppy kindergarten training classes at the local Dog Foundation and plan to go through a few of there other classes they offer as well.
We are excited to see her grow and watch her personality shine through! -Matthew |
WHISKEYWhiskey continues to love life in Northern MN. Although spring was slow on coming (it snowed 4 inches last week) it has finally come, and so the adventuring begins! Even though the water is FREEZING, that hasn't stopped him from going in the lake, although admittedly he may have over-committed on a lean and fallen in the first time! It sure is hard to balance 38 lbs of puppy sometimes! Water fetch is now his favorite game. He went fishing for the first time a few weeks ago and earlier this week he took his first trip into the BWCA. His training is going well and Ruth is starting the long process of getting him certified as a service dog. The biggest challenge will be getting him to listen to another handler as part of the final testing process, because he does NOT like it when she is out of sight. Here's to a summer of many more adventures with our pup!
We couldn't be happier with our dog and hope many more people get to experience the joy of the quality dogs you breed! - Ruth & Zach |

ODIEOdie is such a great puppy! The kids love him already and Aaron and I have fallen for him, too :) He sleeps through the night without accidents and is so sweet. He has such a gentle personality! Last pick turned out to be just the right pick :) It is obvious that you guys worked with these puppies a lot! - Sarah

WILLWe absolutely adore him and are so lucky to have such a joy, and occasionally little menace, in our lives.

RUBYThought you might enjoy seeing a couple updated photos of second pick girl golden, or as we call her, Ruby. We are enjoying her so much! She loved to play ball and has learned how to fetch and return. She loves tennis balls and recently got her first bird toy. She has learned to sit and stay. Ruby will get to participate in a puppy school in July to learn some more basic commands. She is crate trained and we are proud to be accident free! We are so thankful that we have Ruby in our lives and cannot wait for summer fun! - Michelle

GOOSEWe adopted one of the golden puppies and just wanted to say thank you. He has brought lots of love and chaos into our lives and we are enjoying every minute of it. We named him Goose. He is growing so fast and is so very smart.
Seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home and now he weighs 60 lbs. He is doing great, loves going for walks and lives to fetch. His personality is so funny and so sweet. Thank you again for letting us adopt this lovable bundle of fur. - Maureen & Ross |
FINNWords cannot describe how in love we are with our sweet puppy, Finn! He is the sweetest dog we've ever known and has a heart of gold, is mellow yet very attentive. Chris works in HR for a nursing home and long-term care center so we brought Finn in to give his co-workers and residents a little puppy therapy. He was nothing short of amazing, especially with the elderly residents in memory care. We heard multiple times that he would be a great therapy dog someday.
Just like his parents, he loves to be close to us and nuzzle our necks, is an extreme cuddler, and gives lots of kisses. We couldn't be happier about it because we were hoping for a very affectionate dog. He loves to play in the snow and chase us around the yard. He is well potty-trained and does well on his leash (loves to carry it in his mouth). He's a pretty good sleeper and whines when he needs to go out. He LOVES to sleep on his back and rest his head up on something when he sleeps. Finn is the best decision we've ever made. Thank you so much for everything you did to give him a great start. -Chris & Sonja |

OAKLEYOakley graduated from his Puppy Socialization class today! It was a class based on socializing him to people, other dogs, various loud noises (thunder, fireworks, vacuum cleaner, etc.) and various objects and places. Next we will start an obedience class at the end of April, although he is already very smart. I work with him everyday, multiple times a day, on training and he already knows sit, down, stand, shake, spin, look at me, leave it, and stay (for a short period of time). He can even heel while in the house! I'm so proud of him! Potty training has been going better these last few weeks. We've hung a bell on the door and he's starting to get a hang of ringing it to let us know he needs to go out. I love him so much and am so excited to continue watching him grow! He has the biggest paws! - Morgann

DOCDoc continues to grow everyday. He's about 80 pounds already, and his coat is still a beautiful wavy blond. Yesterday he graduated from beginner's obedience class, and today he celebrated by digging in the backyard. (He thought we wouldn't notice.) He is always a happy, happy pup which makes him fun to train and work with. Next month we will enroll in the "Canine Good Citizen" class and start training for his CGC title.

DENVEROverall, Denver has been incredible. He is pretty good with his potty training, which is nice. At night, Denver is wonderful. He will whine only when he needs to go out and falls right back asleep. Though we have not started formal training, which we will start with puppy training class next week, Denver knows his basic commands. He has been an excellent addition to our family. -Erin & Patrick

MACKJust thought I'd give you an update on Mack. He's growing so fast and it makes me so sad! When I first got him, he was 12 lbs and now weighed in at his last shots at 24! He is pretty much potty trained, has slept through the night since night one, and knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and shake. Last week, we spent a week at the lake and learned he is not a fan of being wet, but loves to play with the big dogs pretending he's their size. I love my addition to my family. Thank you!! -Kari

MIDASMidas turned 3 months old yesterday. I thought you'd enjoy a picture of him. He's a very good boy. He's almost completely potty trained and is settling into our home very well. He gets lots of attention and love. He gets bigger every day. - Trevor & Meri
