Hazel below at 13 weeks

Well, Hazel was 13 weeks on Sat and boy is
she getting big! I had her at the Vet on Fri and she is 26 lbs already,
She just figured out she can jump on the furniture and go down the steps.
She was able to go up the steps but once upstairs she was scared to come down,
not any more. She's too smart for her own good, she picks things up really
easy. (good and bad) She started puppy class last Mon. She thinks all of the
dogs there, are there to play with her. I figured out of all the dogs that
I've had, one is going to be properly trained. Bandit and Hazel are SLOWLY
becoming friends. We had a little problem with Bandit not liking her very
much, he snapped at Hazel and we had to take her to the Vet. She was fine,
just a few antibiotics and now she's good as new. as you can see by the
pics.

From owner of Scout Anschutz
Chocolate Male pup
7/9/2007: Just wanted you to know that
Scout is getting used to
his new home. He was an angel on the way home. Lot's
of sleep and not a whole lot of whining. The first
night he slept and didn't make a peep. No accidents on
the floor, he waited for us to take him out early in
the morning. Last night I think it hit him. We let
him cry it out and eventually stopped. Again he held
himself until we took him out early in the morning.
Today he took his first swim by the lake and loved the
water. I want to thank you for everything. He looks great and is full of spunk. Thanks again for everything and Ken...good luck
hunting.
7/18/07 Scout is doing great. The other day we took him on a swim and he
loves the water. I included some pictures of him swimming. He is catching on to
the potty training and should be good to go in no time. This morning I took him
to a small lake in the area and he was responding to his name for the first
time. I am very excited to start field training him. I'll keep in touch with his
progress

From a Chocolate Male pup "Ruddy" owner in
Massachusetts:
7/11/07 I just talked with my husband and he picked up the dog
at the airport, he said he is beautiful and was a little anxious from the plane
ride at first, as he was driving home he said the dog started to settle in. I
am still at work and will be home in a couple of hours, if I could I would leave
now just to see him. Thanks again and I will send a picture of him as he
grows....He is amazing, sure is a sweetheart, stays in the kitchen, has not had an
accident, the minute we take him out he does his duty. We are very happy with
him and feel very lucky and fortunate to have him. As I said I will keep your
email address and touch base with you now and then to let you know how he is
doing.
7/12/07 He is doing fine, he
cried for a little bit last night but then calmed down and went to sleep, he
has not had any accidents in the house, we take him outside and he goes right
away. He is a smart little guy and we are so happy with him. I am at work now
he is at home in his crate. I hated to leave him today but it is only for a
little while. He was fine when I put him in there this morning. Which made me
very happy because I would have been upset if he was not happy. We have named
him Ruddy, my husband and son are duck hunters and there is a duck called a
Ruddy Duck, and they have only seen one in MA, I guess they normally are not
here, so they decided to call him Ruddy. He is absolutely beautiful with great
green eyes.
My dachsund Tess, really likes him and I think Ruddy was happy to have her with
him. They enjoyed playing together last night. He did wonderful on the plane,
didn't even have an accident in the crate all that time.
Sent 1/26/2008
Attached is a picture of Ruddy, 8
mos. old. Just thought you might like to see this beautiful boy, we
are absolutely thrilled with him. He is incredibly affectionate and just loves
us. We are so happy with him and will recommend your pups to others.
From the owner of a chocolate
male in Wisconsin 7/8/2007:
We just thought that we would share with you that Bullet is doing great! He is
adjusting very well to his surroundings and is getting more attention and love
than he knows what to do with. (Montana and Ariel do not want to put him
down) He is sleeping through the night and he either barks or whines to let us
know when he has to go out.
Thanks for the wonderful puppy, and we will send pictures in a couple of weeks.
Below is a photo with Bullet and his new siblings Tucker and Taffy.
Above is Bullet and Taffy a year later.
Bullet is doing very good he is a very well mannered dog who does excellent with
our kids. We are please to have him as a member of our family.

About Grizzley Jackson Chocolate
male in Illinois 7/9/07
Grizzley is a great puppy. He slept the
whole ride down and after settling in at night he slept in his new home just
fine. Last night he did cry around 12:30. I did go down and see him and did
take him outside. He went to the bathroom right away and just cried a little
after that. He's a terrific pup and a really really sweet disposition.

A Male pup from this litter visited
our kennel for his 1st birthday in April. He, his sister Jesse and mom
Frieda got to run and play for a while. Skittles is a large muscular dog
who is very friendly and wanting to please. Weighed 93 pounds at 1 year
old.

One pup from this litter went to
Alaska. His new owner provided the photo below right after the pup arrived
on the airplane at 8 weeks old. She writes, "I don't have a name for him
yet, but I am working on it. I wanted to meet him first. He had a great night;
slept all the way through. He has been interacting and playing with his new
family- two chocolate labs, and a corgi. He is fitting in very nicely as he is
calm and a big lover! :)"
Gauge's owner won the first Derby he was run in!
I thought you might like to see what a beautiful dog “Gauge” has turned out to
be. He came home the last week of July (2011) and I ran him in the Derby of our
last trial of the season in early August.
He ran an awesome trial.
-----------------------------------------------------
This is the pup we kept at 8 weeks old.
Her name is Jesse (Officially she is Lorken's Land Force Run)

5/4/08 from the owner of a male pup in Wisconsin:
"Derby was a very good boy on the drive home, he
whined just a bit at first when we left so I took off my sweatshirt and put it
in the crate with him-I figured it smelled of his siblings yet and might help
him sleep. We almost made it all the way home before he needed to potty, a
couple of times he sat up and just looked around from the crate but then
curled back up to sleep.
He was very interested in meeting the big dogs once we arrived home. Lucy the
yellow Lab really like Derby, Crockett thinks he should go back where he came
from-he still wants to be the baby! I'm sure he'll warm up to him, he does
love to play with most dogs. Dixie my old girl took it all in stride-she has
been around lots of pups over the years.
Derby slept pretty good in his crate last night, I can tell he is used to
going in and out of the crate-he readily was bouncing in and out of his while
I had it in the living room during the evening. He'd take a toy and run in
there so the big dogs couldn't get it."
These wonderful photos were taken by
Laurie J. Erickson of a dog named Derby. Derby's
owner has used this photographer before and highly recommends her! Derby
is a male pup that the owner plans to run in AKC Agility.

From the new home of the chocolate
female in Nebraska:
"The little chocolate female pup made
it home to Nebraska just fine last night. We decided to name her Riverview's
Lazy "Summer". She traveled very well in the car and gets along nicely with the
two retired dogs. She slept in a laundry basket next to our bed last night. We
love how quiet of a puppy she is."

"Packer
from Lindstrom, Minnesota is great! He is enjoying his family
and all four girls just adore him. He goes on lots of walks, been
swimming a few times, and loves his toy squirrel. He is getting so
big so fast. Thanks Dollevoets for such a wonderful pup!"

Largest
Chocolate Male
"Hi Lori & Ken,
Payne was very good on the car ride back to Milwaukee. He whined a bit and
yawned a lot, but eventually perked up and started looking around at everything
passing by. He held having to use the bathroom the whole way home but had a
little accident as soon as we got inside. Since then he has let us know when he
has to go and we take him right outside. He was a little frightened of people
and cars the first few trips outside, but has since started to explore
everything around him. He fell asleep on the floor last night and we put him in
his kennel. He didn't fuss a bit, but did wake us up to let him go outside
around 2am. We fed him today at 6am. Since then, he's played a bunch and napped
a bunch. He's started to realize what "Payne, No" means as well as "Payne,
Here." He loves to lay on your feet to nap and loves to pounce on his toys.
Attached is a picture to give you an idea. We'll send more as he grows!"

Here
are some pictures of Payne at 9 & 10 weeks to update your site with. He is
really growing fast. We were at the vet on Monday and he weighed in at almost 20
lbs. The first picture is at 9 weeks, he is just hanging out on the floor. The
second picture is at 10 weeks. He loves to play with our neighbor's dog, Stella.
They get along great and she is really motherly towards Payne. He's learning a
lot and is super smart, but a bit stubborn at times. We decided to give him the
AKC name "No Payne, No Gain." We'll be sure to send more pictures as he grows!
Thanks again.

Custer, WI:
5/6/08 Here are some of the photo's we took of Dylan
this weekend when we met him. He is doing so well and my parent's have fallen in
love!
----------------------
Just
wanted to drop you a note, Jovi is doing great! He laid on mom's lap the whole
way home. He was a little shy finding and sniffing his way around the kitchen
and living room. Slept from 9 to 5:30 this morning. No whining or barking
last night. Today was so much fun. He was more active, yet slept a lot. This
morning was funny when he would notice his reflection in the glass. He is doing
well with the potty training. Nipping more today and being more adventurous
around the kitchen and living room. He is sleeping now. He is such a joy, you
two have worked well with him.

Barkley is doing great. She continues to amaze us at how smart and well
behaved she is for being so young. We had her at the vet for her first round
of shots and got a clean bill of health from our vet. Thank you again for
providing us a great dog. The whole is experience with guys was great start to
finish!.

Greetings from Maine! We just wanted to give you a quick update on Gauge. He
is doing very well. He is a very intelligent pup with lots of spunk and
personality. He is very persistent and boy, does he love to
retrieve...practically everything he can get his mouth on. But I suppose that's
a good thing for his future job requirements. Gauge is just now moving into
some of the more disciplined training...working on "stay" and "heel". He loves
playing fun bumpers. We have made a casual introduction to the water with
Gauge, but nothing too extensive. He definitely doesn't have fear of much.
Gauge is great with the kids and they are learning to be more careful picking up
their toys so Gauge doesn't get them. The adjustment with our older nine year
old lab has been difficult at times, but it gets better every day. Gauge has
gotten nipped a few times but he keeps going back for more.
We have forwarded a few pictures of Gauge for you to post if you wish. The
pictures were taken by a friend of ours named Linda O'kresik. She used to work
at the Baltimore Sun. Now, she works for our local newspaper and does a lot of
freelance photography as a personal business...weddings and such. You can view
her work at lcophotography.com . She
does great work...I certainly can't take much credit for these pics. The pics
are of Gauge at thirteen weeks. (Above and Below)

These two pups went to
friends who work together. So these guys will be keeping in touch
with each other. The pup looking at us is Rocky. His owner
bought a Gale pup from us a number of years ago he
named Jake and now has Rocky joining the family too. Also laying in
the crate is Jersey. Jersey has the white chin and chest. This
photo was sent right after Jersey was picked up and the owner writes:
"When I left your house you could tell Jersey was very upset. When I got
back to work Pete had returned. He put my pup in with his pup and they
both calmed down and this is the result. I love this picture." We
took the photo below just before Jersey left. |

6/05 One of the male pups family
writes:
Wanted to drop you a note to let you know that Moose is adjusting just fine
to his new home. Attached is a picture of him laying down with my son Gabe a
few minutes after we got him home. He was remarkably calm in the car on the
way here and ate and pottied when we stopped. He's on a good schedule and we
honestly couldn't be more pleased. He might have a bit of beaver somewhere
in his bloodline ;-) but a quick trip to the store for a thousand more chew
toys and its not a problem. He is just the sweetest, most lovable guy! We'll
keep you updated. |

Jan 06-Thank you for the great Christmas card!! What
a surprise! It's almost impossible to remember when our big huge Moose was
that little.
He is doing just great, a wonderful companion
- I'd say he's a true laprador like his mom but he'll sit just about
anywhere (see picture below)!

From New Bedford, MA:
Cody is doing fine with puppy retrieves and
basic commands of sit, down, come (as long as I have a puppy bumper in my
hand) and a form of loose healing as commanded by, "Come Along". He does
have a keen interest in all birds at this time and closely watches them,
both on the ground and in the air. Ann and I have seen Cody on point with
his tail out straight and his left leg pointing. I've just received some
pheasant wings, which I will be using on the bumpers for pointing and
retrieving in conjunction with the dead fowl teal with duck scent. Here he
is looking at a pigeon. |
