My son and daughter-in-law came over last night and fell in love with her. Rosebud did great, she slept all night, "we were proud of her". We have been taking her to a certain spot in the backyard so hopefully she'll keep up the good potty training. Princess and Boxer are doing good, Boxer is being gentle with her.

We will send pics of them together. Have a great day,

Hello From Courtney and Teetu.
She is fabulous and doing very well. She is sooo cute, sweet and very smart.  At 9/10 weeks she had perfected sit and down.  Last week (now 4 months old) she weighed in at 2.5 lbs at the vet...so still pretty little.   I can't wait to see Bella's new babies, and how small they turn out. I'll be tempted to get another!! 

We just wanted to send you a picture of Maddie (Cutie) from Thanksgiving 07.   She fit in perfectly with our family.  We have a golden retriever named Sadie and they are the best of friends.   Wherever one is, the other one is always close by.  Maddie weighed in at 5.5 pounds when we took her to get her shots two weeks ago.  She is very active and keeps our whole family on our toes.  We are so happy that we chose her and can’t imagine life without her now.

Barbie is doing great!  My daughter absolutely loves her to pieces!!  She named her Princess.


Marty
RECENT UPDATE:   Marty is about all grown up now (at least physically), approximately 13-14 lbs and is still adorable (even though his colors changed a bit). He's stubborn, loving, playful, humorous, energetic, 'talkative' and everbody, especially us, loves him!

Max
Just thought I'd send a couple quick pictures of Max.  He is 6 1/2 months old and weighs about 6 lbs.  These pictures are not the best...I'm still trying to get a really good one.  But maybe it's a little idea of what he looks like now!  He's doing great and a really wonderful little guy.  We love him dearly!
Thank You, Kris Huckans


Christy and Mulan
Bethany, The puppies are glorious and are thriving.   They are wonderful companions for each other and wonderful additions to our household.  I am ever so thankful that I was able to connect with you.  Your loving environment has served them well and they are well adjusted and healthy.   I think of you often and I am ever so grateful for our acquaintance.   Robin

Suki
He is 5 months old now and a real joy.  He was already 10 pounds at 4 months and a CHUNK! His feet are HUGE!  I have trimmed his hair back for summer so he is more comfortable.  He has such beautiful hair! SOOO thick!  He is getting some silver not only on his mustache but behind his back legs and in his tail!  It is very pretty!

PHOTO UPDATED
Murphy & Miley
Murphy graduated from puppy training and passed all his tests.  He has also learned to jump up and down off the couch.  He's a pretty smart guy!

Miley has adjusted well and is quite a character.  She has plenty of kisses for everyone and loves to grab earlobes!

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Furgus (aka Romeo)
Furgus  is doing great!  He cried the first night because he missed his sister and your family but has been  doing much better.  He chases our neighbor's dog all over the house but can't jujmp up on the couch yet!  Furgus loves playing with his new "duck" toy and seems to be growing bigger each week....he eats like a horse!!

Take care....Dennis and Kay

Rachy and Ruby
We thought you might enjoy pictures of our babies.  At first, she was really shy and she didn't want to be held or touched. But now we can't get her off of us!  And Rachy and Ruby love each other.  I can't begin to describe the joy they have brought to our lives.  We just love them!  And again, I would be more than happy to be a reference if you ever need one. 

Thank you again.......Alicia and Kevin

Hi Bethany:

We bought our puppy Lilly from you in February. ( You named her Kiki aand her parents are Andes Choclolate Mint and your Little Miss Hershey Kiss).  I wanted to let you know she is absolutely beautiful, and as sweet as can be.  She is truly loved.

I will get my daughter to take a picture of her and email it to you.

Thanks for the sweet puppy.

Baci
Hi Bethany:  Here is a picture of our darling little boy.  We are enjoying him so much... I can't begin to tell you.

Baci is so smart and has already learned to go the the door when he needs to go outside.  He eats well and drinks his water on command.  I have never had a puppy as easy to train as he is.

I would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and intelligent puppy.
Sincerely,  ~Anita and Bill Kec

HI Bethany

Just wanted to let you know that Lickums is doing awesome. He is still small, which is awesome.

We are very happy with our purchase, he sleeps on the bed. He learned to use the doggie steps very quickly.  He also use the doggie door and the pee pads. Gabe absolutely loves him to death. He loves to go in the car. He thinks every time the door opens and we go somewhere he needs to go also.

I will send you a pictures as soon as Gabe gets his camera battery charged. I’m very tempted to get another puppy from you. Thanks so much for you wonderful care of your puppies, we got an awesome one.

~ Donna and Gabe Pressley and of course, Lickums


Baci
We were impressed with Bethany and her knowledge of the breed.   The process was very simple.  We were able to visit Bethany's home and pick out our puppy. Bethany kept us posted on how our puppy was doing and when we picked up our puppy, Bethany provided us with all his papers, listing of his shots and his favorite toy.  You can tell she cares about the well being of the dogs. 

Our little Furgus is a great dog.  He doesn't bark and is always happy.  He has learned a lot of new things and has a great personality.  On May 20, 2009 he had his first birthday and is

Hi Bethany!
I purchased “Terri” about a week and a half ago and I just wanted to give you an update. She is doing great! I’m crate training her and she has been doing very well! She never cries at night, only when she has to potty! Which I have found very rare in new puppies. I just wanted to say thanks!
