| Hi LuAnn-We decided to change his name to Teddy. He seems to already know it. He is doing great. House training him is going well...only a few mistakes here and there but it is to be expected. We started to crate train him. However, I just cannot let him sleep alone at night so he is joyfully and willingly sleeping with us and our two other dogs in our bed. He really seems to enjoy the high thread count of our sheets and he just burrows deep into the down comforter. His transition to his new puppy food is going well, too. He is just so adorable and we just love him so much. I took him to the farm yesterday and he patiently waited in the aisle as I groomed my Friesian and we walked back into the big field for about 40 minutes just running and playing picking up sticks along the way. Needless to say, he slept like a baby when we returned home. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you want to know how he is doing. We will be sure to keep in touch. We will send pics shortly. Thanks again Luann...we're so happy that Teddy made his way to us! MacKenzie P.S. He says thanks for all the hugs and kisses. He wanted us to tell you that even though he is quite happy, he still thinks of and misses you with all of his heart. |

| Hi LuAnn Sure you can use those items on your website, we're happy to oblige! Thanks for doing such a great job raising the puppies-they're adjusting to our home quickly and are intelligent, calm and gentle. For only being 8 weeks old, we think they listen very well. They certainly understand what no means, and they greet you when you walk in the door. The kids, Michelle, and I are having a ball with them, and it's really interesting to see their individual traits developing. Lilly is the couch potato; she loves laying there, and MUST have a pillow. She doesn't follow you around constantly, but loves her cuddle time. Theo, on the other hand, follows you everywhere when he can and is always looking to be petted. When it comes to the couch and pillows though, he wants no part of either! We can hardly wait to see them grow into wonderful adults. I admit when Michelle initially told me of your website, I thought "Poodles-are you kidding me????" Like the majority, I had the stereotypical misconception of Poodles being hyper, yippy dogs and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that quite the opposite is true whenever we visited you the first time and those pre-conceived notions were completely disproven. I was amazed at how calm and gentle your adult dogs were, nothing like I imagined they would be. Thanks again for doing such a great job, and we're looking forward to you guys coming to the puppy party & seeing us & the pooches again. I'll get the directions together and send them soon. Take care, Kirk |

| March 7th, 2009 at the "Meet the Puppies Party" What a great time we had! Not only do we have the pleasure of raising an awesome breed, what great friends we have found through them! We were so thrilled Theo & Lilly remembered us! Thank you Kirk, Michelle, Blake & Courtney for giving them such a great home! Love, Rich & LuAnn |

| ^j^ We Love You! 12-17-08 - 7-9-09 |
| We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and the days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part. GOD has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart. |

| Hi LuAnn, I got pictures of Parfait with her big girl hair cut. She looks adorable this way too. (I still like her long hair also too haha) The one she is sitting she totally cocked her head like a model. She was like yes I am beautiful take my picture. haha She looks really tall now. I think when I am done showing her if I do show her, I took her to my friends house that showed her poodle and yes they were next to each other and Parfait was about two or three inches taller and her head and feet were much bigger, my friend said she has a really pretty head but she is not one for the taller bodies so she wasn't sure how the judges would also be and now that Parfait was cut you can see way more black spots they call that ticking apparently they don't really like that either but hay its a party poodle you get different colors all over hence the name. haha I think my groomer may have cut her feet alittle higher than I would have liked she looks like high waters only alittle though my friend didn't comment on that so it must be ok that way. If I don't show her though I want to give her the cuff look, her legs just look way to long this straight way. My son thinks she looks like a dalmation with the spots but he still loves her.. haha She seems happier now with the short hair, its way cooler than before. Ok I am going to fly. LMK what you think.

| LILLY... GRADUATING FROM PUPPY CLASS! SUCH A SMART GIRL! |
| Dear LuAnn, Yes we received the test results. Thank you. Bella is doing great she is scheduled to be spayed on 6/23/09 and we hope this will settle her down a bit . She has a mind of her own and is very mischevious . We cannot leave her for a minute or she will be into the garbage or pulling the toilet paper off the rolls . She is a crafty thief and is forever stealing laundry, kitchen mits, shoes ect... she wants us to chase her all the time. She is very affectionate and is attached to my hip. I've sent a picture of her but it does her no justice she is more beautiful in person. Her eyes are a med brown and her nose is darker also . We've had her clipped 2 times and her coat is getting curlier and thicker. I hope you can open the pictures . Jackie |


| Dear LuAnn, Thank you so much for the Christmas and Birthday cards they are very cute. Bella continues to bring us joy every day. At times, she still thinks she is a lap dog, at night she likes to snuggle with us in bed and when we come home from work she lets us know how happy she is to see us. She loves to play ball and absolutely enjoys it when we take her for a walk. Bella has left her mark on quite a few pieces of furniture, but she can always rely on her cuteness to escape being reprimanded. We are so happy to have her. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Jackie and Faisal |

| Now I lay me down to sleep, the king size bed is soft and deep.. I sleep right in the center groove my human being can hardly move! I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight And here is where I pass the night No one disturbs me or dares intrude Till morning comes and "I want food!" I sneak up slowly to begin My nibbles on my human's chin. She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth - I'm a puppy, don't you see? For the mornings here and it's time to play I always seem to get my way. So thank you Lord for giving me This human person that I see. The one who hugs and holds me tight And shares her bed with me at night! Author Unknown |

| LuAnn, 3-18-09 We are still trying to get our computer to work sending pictures. I am about ready to go to walmart and have them developed and send hard copies to you. Axel is soooo adorable and loving! And so playful. He has such a wonderful loving personality. He is also very smart. He understands a lot of words already and knows us all by name. We absolutely adore him. He goes everywhere with me in the car and when I am not going to be home, my mother begs to puppysit so he is always with someone. I just can't say enough about him. As always, you are welcome to come and see him anytime. I am sure he will remember you. Hopefully, we can get all those pics to you soon. Wait till you see how he poses for the camera. Thanks again for such a wonderful puppy. Michelle Martello |

| Hi LuAnn, Thanks for the email checking in on our "Cage". I have taken some pictures finally now that his fur has grown back from our sad attempt to let our friend trim him! He's so handsome! His fur is so soft and he has some goregeous curls, they aren't super tight and they look so amazing! He loves to ride in the car with his hair blowing through his fluffy head of hair! He also prances when he walks and is a very good pouncer and hopper too! His legs have gotten so very long. Wow I couldn't believe how fast he's grown. He still has quite a bit of energy but does well with us without a leash on. He has the type of personality that pretty much everyone is his "friend" but he attaches to people very quickly and is unbelieveably affectionate. He stayed with my sister's family for a few days while we were gone and he fell in "love" with her! He loved her whole family but for her... he'd go through hoops of fire for. It's too funny! It's amazing how many people have never seen a standard before or didnt even know they existed. The funny thing is though, a few minutes around Cage, and he has them converted into poodle lovers too! I think they said he was about 45-50 lbs at the vet last month. We also took our other dogs in for their Eye CERF tests, and we took Cage too. They all passed with flying colors. So now his eye's are CERF'd too! Thought you'd like to hear that! He's kind of inbetween on is coloring not cream... not apricot....but he does have the white patch on his chest. Our vet, who owns a standard, LOVED his coloring... and thought it looked like a frosted apricot! Ha ha ha! I will send pictures either later today or tomorrow. Thanks again for providing such a wonderful home for him. Being that we also breed, we can tell the difference from getting a puppy from a truly loving home like yours vs a breeder that is just selling a puppy. Right from the start, the impact you had on him helped make him who is is becoming now... so thank you! Talk to you soon, Missy www.thosegoldens.com |
| thought I would send you a note to let you know Jasper is doing very well. He is doing very good with potty training and gets in his crate when he is hungry or thinks we are getting ready for bed. He is getting very attached to me and follows me everywhere. If I sit down he is usually at my feet. I groomed him myself and he looks pretty good. I cut his head like before but just shaved everything else with a #3 guard. He was so funny. He was upside down on the floor while I shaved him and asleep some of the time. Nothing bothers him. Luci (4 yr old) runs back an forth over and in front of him and he just sleeps. He plays with all the toys and digs through the toy basket. The cats follow us every morning and he sniffs noses with them. We may decide to get another Poodle next year. We would love to find another one with a personality like him. He is great. Let us know if you decide to breed again. We would want a cream to dark red in color. Have a great weekend. Lisa |


| Hi LuAnn! Slae is doing GREAT! He has had a busy week with being castrated on Monday and haircut on Wednesday, but he took it all in stride! He is the best dog i have ever had and he's only 6 months old=) I love him! He's a sweetheart. Hope all is well with you! Andi ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi LuAnn! I hope these pictures turn out for you! Slae is really doing great. He is a great protector without being aggressive and is really laid back- sometimes we have to make him play! After listening to the kid's goodnight stories he and I go watch tv. I call him 'my snuggies' because he tries to curl up in my lap.=) Craig takes him on hikes constantly and he always listens to commands no matter what the distraction is. He really is a great dog! Are you expecting more litters soon? Hope this email finds you and your family well, Andi |
| Hi LuAnn...It's been a while since I mailed Axel's progress. He is doing absolutely fantatistic! I have been watching our little two month old nephew four days a week and Axel is so sweet and patient around him! Axel is by far one of the most loving devoted dogs I have ever known! He is definitely a momma's boy! Follows me everywhere. He loves to play and is very mischevous! Loves to steal food and anything paper. It is the funniest thing! When I go upstairs, he follows me and jumps into the bath tub and looks at me with that goofy sweet look! You gotta love him! Everyone remarks how beautiful he is. They love his markings. He loves everyone who comes here! The official greeter. He loves to ride in the car and goes everywhere with me. You have done wuch a wonderful job of breeding and loving your dogs! Thank you again so much! Visit him soon! You will fall in love with him all over again! Michelle |



| Hi LuAnn. Jon and I had the day off today so we thought we would take a few minutes and send you some recent pictures of Jake. He certainly is growing. We suspect he is about 65 pounds now and I'm sure he is not done growing. He is doing well and turning into a very handsome young adult poodle. Hope you are doing well. Take care & enjoy the pictures. Patti |

| AXEL@ 1 YEAR! SO BEAUTIFUL! 12-09 |

| Hi Luann We got your christmas card and the birthday card for Hollie. That was very nice of you to think of us. Hollie is doing great. She is such a spoiled girl.....We love her to death!! Thank you for giving us such a wonderful pet. She sleeps with us, travels with us, and follows us where ever we go. We cant beleive how smart she is and how fast she learns new commands. She loves my husband the most though. He spends the most time with her. Every morning she waits for him to get ready so they can walk to check the mailbox. And then when she hears the rattle of the car keys she waits at the door because she knows its time to go bye bye. lol! He takes her hunting but she still hasnt mastered that yet... She gets lazy bout two hours into it and wants to follow behind instead of take the lead like she is suppose to do. I think she is happy! She is very protective of my kids and i love that. If someone new enters my house whom she has never seen before she will let us know something isnt right. Its so funny because my husband play wrestles with my kids and Hollie usually can tell he is just playing. But sometimes if my husband gets too rough or agressive then Hollie will growl at him and crouch down as if to tell him he better be NICE!! My husband figured out that is not a good thing to do around Hollie. Sorry i keep rambling on about her but she is wonderful. Everywhere we take her people say she is the prettiest thing they have ever seen. Everyone asks to buy her or if I have attached some recent photos. She needs a haircut so she doesnt look as pretty as usual. We sang happy birthday to her and she thought that was GREAT!! Talk to you soon! Tiffany |
