Hello Lucy,
I just wanted to drop you a note on our schnoodle puppy and to give you a status. Moose Jackson Fluffer Nutter Waite is almost 6 months old. Yes - a big name for such a tiny dog (almost 12 lbs).
He is gentle as a lamb, loves children, and was practically house broken when we received him. You are certainly doing allot of things right with your program before you release the puppies to their eventual owners. We can't tell you how pleased we are because words cannot describe the love and affection we have nor mutual bonds that have developed between us and Moose.
Thank you again for all that you have done.
I've attached a couple of Moose pictures during his 1st month with us. Think Good Thoughts and Keep up the good work.

Dear Mike, Lucy & Cindy,
What a precious puppy! Thank-you! Cindy was so helpful in getting him to us. Thanks to her too!
We hamed Goodie's Boy A "Tucker". He sleeps all night (right from day 1.) Already knows "go for a walk." Eats well! (We chose Bil-Jac) and follows us everywhere. He's getting very good about the potty thing. Almost asks to go out already. We are amazed!
I have your phone # handy just in case we need to call - but so far all is well.
Thank you again!
R.S.
P.S. Flying didn't seem to stress him out all that much either!? We were pleasantly surprised about that too.
Lucy , Cindy, and Mike...........
My wife and I can't thank you enough for our two new Shih-poo puppies, Molly and Max. They are just two little lovers! Honestly, we could not be happier with them. We have to learn to look more carefully when we walk because they're always at our feet. They are sleeping through the nite and are going outside regularly. Only a couple of accidents that really were our fault. Please keep doing what you're doing because you bring so much happiness to people. You guys are really making a difference with your work. If you ever need a recommendation or if there is any way we can ever help, please let us know. We'll send pictures in a few weeks to let you see how they are growing...........

Dear North Country Kennels
We purchased a Standard Schnoodle from you (Sable & Jimmy's only female) in July. I'm writing to tell you what an unbelievably great experience we're having with this pup.
She is 5 months old today, and her name is Scout. Her coat is brindle, and it's poodle-ish. We are keeping it long for now. When our family talked about coats, by the way, we all said we wanted a long wavy coat - and this girl's coat is definitely more on the curly side and we couldn't be happier. It is beautiful.
We have two children ages 6 and 8 and Scout's temperament couldn't be better. She is super sweet and gentle - they pet her and hug her while she's eating, or chewing on a toy and she just keeps doing what she's doing. She has never growled in anger or bitten anyone (except for playful puppy nipping).
She is completely housebroken and has been for about a month. At first, she didn't know how to tell us she needed to go out - she wouldn't bark at the door - so we hung a bell on the doorknob and taught her how to ring it if she needs to pee! She sits, stays, and is learning to heel.
Scout is our third child! Thank you for such an exceptional pup. She is lovely. I would be happy to provide a testimonial should you need it.
Sincerely,
Hope

Our family wanted to drop you a short note regarding our Shih Tzu Poo that joined our family in August of this year. He is from Missy's litter born on 5/23/05. He has been such a joy!!! The kids named him Tyko and have been having a blast with him.
Tyko is the most loving, gentle and happy puppy I have ever met. Everyone who meets him falls in love with him instantly. It was such a joy dealing with everyone at North Country Kennel. We could not have been more pleased with Tyko. I have attached a few photos for your enjoyment.
Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hi Lucy and Mike!
I just wanted to take the time to tell you how happy Tuffy has made my life. He has brought so much life, love and excitement to those who come into contact with him. He is an attention getter and Mr. Sociable. Everywhere we go people want to: see him, pet him, play with him and take pictures with him! You would think he was a celebrity.
He loves to play and I have to say, he keeps me busy. What a sense of humor he has! I don't think there is a time, even when he does something bad, that doesn't make us laugh and smile. His curiosity, loving nature and playful sense of self keeps everyone interested in how Tuffy is doing every day. I could not have asked for a better "child" than Tuffy! Thank you so much for everything. You are all so amazing and have such a great professional manner to do the wonderful things you do, day in and day out with brining such amazing, healthy, beautiful puppies into this world.
God Bless!

I just wanted to say that my family is so happy with the two puppies we bought from your kennel. Our Schnoodle, Eddie, is so funny. I don't think he ever sits still, well unless you're rubbing his belly. Baci, our Shih Poo, is such a joy. He is just as you described, silly! He just got his first haircut and looks so adorable, it's hard to leave him everyday. I'm glad we got two because they keep each other company and instead of biting us they bite each other! They play together so well, probably due to the socialization they had so early one.
I was skeptical when my mom said she was buying from an out of state kennel. I'm glad I was so wrong. Like others, we got home, gave them a bath and a big meal. No problems whatsoever and it was a long trip! (To Southern California)
The people at North Country Kennels have done a great job!
Good Morning,
Just a quick note to let you know our puppy arrived in perfect condition and the people at Northwest were wonderful. We're so glad she was able to fly with them. We got her home, gave her a bath and some food and instantly bonded with her. She is so darn cute and will be a great addition to our family. We have named her Lily!
Thanks again for everything, you guys were so great to work with during the whole process. We will definitely recommend North Country Kennels to anyone interested in a puppy!

Hi Lucy & Cindy-
I am writing to tell you that, after our initial lack of knowledge regarding the introduction of our new black goldendoodle puppy (Belle's baby - comment - 7 months old) with our sweet, completely passive 2 year old labradoodle, we are absolutely over the moon with our new "baby". She (MillieMae) is the best puppy!!! We've had her for almost 3 weeks and she fits in perfectly! She is completely housetrained and seems to know just what to chew on. She is also very proud to show off all of the tricks that she has already mastered. I have to admit that she already sleeps with us in our room. We just couldn't stand to be away from her. The kids adore her and she follows us everywhere. The romping of dogs and kids (ours and others from the neighborhood) in our yard is constant! When I take the dogs out with us, everyone stops us and talks about how darling she is and how well behaved she is for a puppy. She is a favorite visitor at the kids' preschool. Your description of her was dead on.gentle, not shy, loves to play & goofy! We are so fortunate that she was still available.she was definitely meant to be a part of our family. Also, a HUGE thank you for all of your patience and understanding when dealing with my millions of questions. I was very nervous about purchasing and shipping a dog from across the country sight unseen, but everything was very smooth. Everything has come up roses!!!
Thanks so much for taking such good care of her until we discovered her-

Hi Lucy and Mike!
I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how my puppy that I got in March was doing - she was from Zoe's pekepoo litter born on December 29. Clementine is phenomenal and everyone just adores her. She's well - mannered, friendly, and energetic, but is also very cuddly and inquisitive. She has such character - I am soo thankful to have found your website and gotten to pick Clementine who is definitely one of the best puppies ever. Clementine loves going to her grandparent's beach house - this is a picture of her on her "yacht" and then with her puppy life vest. Thank you again!
Best Regards

Lucy,
I wanted to let you know how our puppy is doing. He is 4 months old now and he is WONDERFUL! He is so sweet and loving. He gets along great with the other 6 month old shih-poo we have. He is calmer than she is, but they play all the time and can't stand to be separated usless they are being held by the children ( or me!) He is so calm and sweet and always loving and gives sweet little kisses. He is the first to react when my son's heart monitor goes off and nudges the other puppy away to make her leave my son alone while it is going off. We think he is PERFECT! He is a great addition to our family. Thank you so much! Hope your knee is doing better every day.

Dear Lucy and Mona,
We love Lexi, our Maltipoo puppy. Lexi is smart, active and extremely affectionate. After one day she starting using the newspaper! Even my 17 year old son has fallen in love with her. She was worth waiting for. I want to thank you for offering such wonderful puppies to people throughout the United States. You can tell that Lexi was well taken care of for the first 9 weeks of her life. When we can we will send you pictures.
Sincerely,
Merle
Hi Lucy,
I hope all is well with you! Thought you might like to see a recent picture of Chance. (He was born 4/20/03 and his mom was YumYum.) He is the happiest dog I have ever seen and everyone just loves him! He LOVES people, but is a little shy around other dogs. He also loves to play with his toys ... he especially likes chasing balls. We are moving into a new house next month and he is so excited to have a big yard all to himself. He is extremely healthy, with no health problems at all since he had kennel cough about 18 months ago. Thank you so much for my baby ... and know that he is sooooooo loved by so many people ... and that he is pampered more than most real babies are!! :)
Summer
Hi Lucy - it's been over a year now since we drove all the way up to you to pick up our shihpoo puppy, Cassie. She's all grown up and doing great. We couldn't have picked a more perfect companion. She's about the sweetest most fun little gal we've ever known. Perfect temperment and is great with our small grandchildren.
We added another shihpoo this year - a rescue - and they are great friends and perfect together - I wouldn't be surprised if she was one of your alumni too.
I wanted to send you some pictures - just after their bath and wearing their Xmas bows. They're both about 10 - 11 lbs and as you can see by the pictures, absolutely perfect in every way 8^))) Thanks again for our girl!
Happy Holidays!! All the best in the New Year.

Hi Lucy & Mike,
Just wanted to drop a note to let you know that we received the puppy last Sat. night at the Houston airport. He did fine, ate and drank and went to the bathroom all within about 20 minutes of us receiving him. Sat in my lap for the 2 hour drive to Lake Charles. We have named him "Roux" and he is now king of our house. He loves being outside and running in the yard. We will teach him to swim this spring as we live on the lake and have a pool. He has not yet met our daughter's golden retriever, but that should be soon and I am sure Roux will rule the roost. Will send you pictures soon. Thanks for a great pup. Kathy & Ted Price
P S Vet check went great, vet was impressed with Roux!
Lucy and Mike,
I just wanted to let you know that Holly (Coconut's litter all black female) is doing awesome! We just love her!! She plays with the kids and they just love her! She is eating and adjusting real well. Thank you for bringing her to us and for all the helpful information.
Happy Holidays!

Kokomo is 9 months old and doing great. We are very attached and she comes to work with me most of the time. I did great during summer by walking her 3 times a day. She learned how to ride on a sailboat, powerboat and kayak. Winter has been tough and we are lucky if we get 2 walks per day. She has a beautiful black coat with some dark brown streaks and an occasional white hair. She is very friendly and frequently rolls on her back for a tummy rub. I'm waiting for her first heat and then may spay her. Tough decision because I'd like to have one of her pups. Her eyes and her glance are her favorite characteristic. Have been training by reading various books and we are catching on.
Hope your dog(s) are is doing well. Not sure if others ever update you, but thought you may like to know.
Hi, Lucy! This is Blossom's puppy Tawny Cressa Bingham Hall writing you, at last. You know, the buff with black tipped fur little plump schnoodle you shipped off to Albany airport a couple of months ago? I arrived in fine shape, just as you said I would, and my new Mommy and Daddy were waiting at the airport with my new sister Dulcie. Although sometimes I get confused and think Dulcie is my Mommy. Anyway...
I'm doing just great, thank you. I weighed about four pounds when I arrived here. I'm now just 20 pounds and still gaining about a pound a week. My back yard is huge and has snow in it some days, grass other days, sometimes ice, and some bushes and tall weeds in the back so there's good hiding and hunting spots. Dulcie and I play and chase each other for hours and sometimes we have so much fun that we won't come in when Daddy calls us. Then he gets really strict and brings out two leashes so we know he means business. Then we fight to see who gets on the leash first, go inside and get treats. He and Mommy say they're being to lenient with us, but I don't know what that means.
I went to my first puppy class Wednesday night. There were four puppies there, all about my age. The trainer and all the other parents all said I was the prettiest, had the most unusual coat, and most importantly that I was the smartest dog in the class. Smarter than the Weimeraner, the mini poodle, and the cocker spaniel. I know the first and last are no Einsteins, but I was happy to be smarter than a poodle. I already knew how to sit, and quickly learned down as well. That dense poodle to about 5 minutes just to learn sit. Anyway, the good thing about kindergarten is the treats don't stop coming. Plus I get to go for a long ride in the car with just me and Daddy, without that know-it-all Dulcie horning in.
Anyway, Mommy and Daddy asked me to write and ask how you are doing, and thank you for being such a good breeder. In their limited experience, (meaning I guess that they've only ever bought two dogs, Dulcie and me), they think you're the best. And everywhere we go people ask, "Ooh, what are they?" and "Where did you find them?" Mommy and Daddy always tell about you and give the website information. Even the vetsy-wetsy and her assistant are talking about getting a schnoodle now, after meeting us.
Well, the only other news is that I'm completely house-trained and have been really since four months old. The only accidents I had after that were in my grandmas' houses. I didn't understand that you weren't supposed to go indoors anywhere; I thought it was just our house you couldn't poop in. But I only did it once in each grandma's house, and then I got the picture. Now I have it down: I bark by the door, or come to Daddy or Mommy if they're still in bed and lick their faces and necks til they get up and let me out. They use a lot of googoo baby talk to me while I'm going, but all I can think of is "Phew, I'm not going to burst after all!"
Please give my love to Blossom and Romeo, and Dulcie's to Stormy and Moody. Some day maybe we'll talk our parents into driving to Minnesota so we can visit our Alma Mater. Until then, take care and peace be with you at least while the dogs are asleep.

Hi Lucy and Mike,
I just wanted to check in and let you know that we've had a wonderful weekend with "Angel," the schnoodle puppy you shipped to us in Southern Calfiornia on Friday. When we picked her up she was understandably scared and very quiet & timid. But by that night she would come to all of us and just curl up on our laps. Now, two days later, we are overjoyed at her wonderful temperment. She is very playful and fun, but also the perfect "lap dog," and she will spend hours curled up on the lap of whomever wants her! Potty training is going quite well - just one accident, and it really was my fault! I should've known what all that sniffing was going to lead to. Anyway, THANK you so much for everything. We are having a ball!
Best,
Laura
Hi Lucy,
I thought you might be interested in knowing how we're doing with the puppy we got from Blossom's August 25 litter. We got the black female, and we have named her Molly. She's almost 5 months now, and she's growing up a beautiful, sweet-natured, bright, and incredibly sociable girl. She weighed 22 pounds on her 4 month birthday, so I think she may end up a little larger than your prediction at maturity. She's become a great city dog, but lives to run in a pack. Fortunately, the neighborhood dogs meet in the park behind our building several times a day. She is the spark plug of the group, and can even get the old dogs to play. She's housebroken, though she makes a few mistakes that are really my fault (She'll tell me when she wants to go out, and I'll think she just wants to meet dog buddies in the park).
We've gone through a puppy class, and she has learned all the basic behaviors. She's such a smart, happy dog that even my husband, who was only lukewarm on the idea of getting her, has been won over. I'm attaching a picture I took of her today in the snowstorm. It's hard to get a picture of a black dog, and I was hoping the snow would give me a better shot.
I'm grateful every day for this wonderful dog, and I wanted you to know how happy I am with everything about her.
Best,
Joan
Hi Lucy!
I am the proud owner of Canoe, a peekapoo from your 10/16/03 liter. I believe his parents are Ritz and Zoey? He is the perfect dog and everyone that meets him even says so. It's not just me! His personality is so unique. He is sweet and affectionate to everyone he meets! He has the manners of a well-trained dog, he was such a quick learner, I couldn't believe it. He reminds me of a toddler, he gets in these moods where he rolls around on his back and makes cute little puppy noises or he twirls his little body around nipping at his tail. He loves to play. Can you tell how much I love him? He grew to 5.8 lbs, the tiniest thing ever! I just wanted to tell you how happy my little Canoe has made me, I don't know what I would do without him. Thanks for breeding such a pleasant, lovable doggie. His ma and pa must be the perfect combination! Take care and Happy New Year!

Hi Lucy,
I just wanted to drop a few lines to tell you how pleased I am with my puppy. He is one Biscuit's last litter.. My puppy made it to Los Angeles without any problem.
I have to tell you Lucy, this is my first dog and I am over 50...I grew up with cats. I never thought I could love a dog until I received this puppy (by the way, I named him Cujo
not because of the character but because he was so tiny I felt he need a name with a little force.) His health is good and he is growing a little. First and foremost I have to tell you that he is becoming very feisty (which I love) and needless to say very spoiled. My only problem is the potty training (it's hard) and I have to keep telliing myself that he is just a baby and he will learn but I still love him.
You have my stamp of approval (like you need it) and I will recommend your kennel to anyone I know that's looking for a dog. I will send pictures in the near future.
Lyn
Lucy,
I've been meaning for a long time to send you some photos of Bailey, my standard schnoodle that I purchased from you last Dec. He is the most wonderful creature. He is very friendly, making friends with all people and dogs alike. He is cheerful, happy go lucky and quite smart. As you can see from the photos, he also has the good looks to match his personality. I feel so fortunate to have such an amazing friend in my life. I'm sure that I have gotten the BEST DOG in the history of the world. Thank you so much.
Please check out the two photos that I'm sending and feel free to post them on your web site, if you would like to. Bailey is the cutest schnoodle ever, so he would be a good ambassador for you.
Thank you again.
Peg
Just wanted to let you know that our little girl, Lexy, the Yorkie Maltese we just got from you on Monday, July 12 is absolutely the best little puppy ever. She has been eating up a storm, she goes outside to potty and is so lovable. My daughter and our entire family is enjoying her. She definitely has the best temperment ever and is in excellent health.
I want you to know that everything you say on your website is true and this is one happy family. Thank you again.
Amelia
Hi, Lucy
Thought I'd take a minute to fill you in on Critter, who is 6-months old today. He was one of the Dec. 15 Soda Pop-Liberace schnoodles. He is doing great and I am enjoying him immensely. He's up to 16 pounds and was neutered several weeks ago. He was house-broken in a very short time after I got him and seems very intelligent. He picks up new commands and learns quickly. Very importantly, he loves people and other dogs. I take him to a large dog run at a local park and he wears himself out romping with the other dogs, big and small. I've had lots of people inquire about his breed and compliment him because he so cute. I've given your web address to several people who seemed genuinely interested in getting a schnoodle of their own. Thanks again.
Rodger
Lucy! Thank you and North Country Kennels for the outstanding job you did! Our puppy ( Lexi ) is perfect. She is cute, fuzzy, energetic and truly has been a blessing to our household. When this process for started I told my wife "there is no way I am paying $550. for a dog! ) Well now I understand why I needed to pay that kind of money for a dog. She is worth it and then some!
Thanks again!
Troy, Glenna, Taylor and Lexi
Here are some photos of our Lucy born 6/23/2003 to Honey and Hollywood! She is a nice sweet dog. She is a bit over 50 pounds and just came home from the groomer last week. She looks great! She loves the children. When I say "It's time to get the kids!", her tail wags and she runs to the front door. She is an amazingly fast runner. She gets her workout running back and forth along the fence with two scary looking mixed breed dogs with Rottweiler as part of the mix. They taught her to bark, but she doesn't bark at the Lab behind us or the two labs on the other side (one of them likes to bark too!) She is very quiet. She occasionally will bark at someone who comes to the door, but barely ever. However, she loves to jump on people! We're working on that! She's been through two training sessions and will go again a bit later this spring. Her vet absolutely adores her and will maybe want to get one someday. He has a two year old golden.
The biggest advantage to owning Lucy is she is so sweet. She has a chair in the living room (it's old) that she likes to sit on to watch the squirrels, chipmunks, and birds. She is a happy puppy most of the time. We have to really watch her as she will eat anything and that has caused her some tummy aches.
I just sent an e-mail recommending your puppies to a woman I met at a trade show last weekend.
LH
Thank you so very much for our wonderful little Yorkie Poo pup! We have had Bentley for two months now, and I can't believe what a sweetheart he is. He is the most social dog I have ever seen, and it probably helps that everyone that ever sees him falls in love with him immediately! Thank you for sending us such a healthy and happy little dog. Bentley is a joy and such a well behaved little guy, and I am thankful for him every day. I really can't thank you enough for all of your help with the process and the advice you gave us along the way. If you ever need a reference please feel free to add my name to your list. I have recommended your site to numerous friends of mine already. Thank you again,
Regards,
Natasha
Hi Lucy,
Our puppy "Riley" has been with us for over two months now and is an absolute delight. She is fun and funny and terribly smart. We are impressed at how many words she understands at such an early age.
When I first began to look for a dog I must admit I was overwhelmed and uncertain. I hope this letter will reassure the visitors to your website that you were extraordinarily helpful before, during and after the selection process. I know there is a great deal of misinformation available to folks and it was such a relief to find your website. You answered all of my questions with great care and I appreciated your availability on the phone as Riley settled into her new home.
Someday we like to think that we will be returning for another pup (the kids have already begun to lobby for this). We occasionally check the puppy page just for fun.
Many thanks for all
-Louise
Lucy, Mike
My family and I want to thank you so much for our Yorkie/Maltese little boy Zachary. He is the best puppy we have ever had. He is so smart and so easy going and he was so easy to potty train. He was trained in two weeks. Everyone is crazy about him because of his terrific personality. His breeding was exceptional and you were so very helpful to us on all questions we needed answered and also very flexible with shipping. There are no words to tell you how happy we are with Zachary and we will be getting another Yorkie/Maltese from you as soon as you have one for us. Pictures are on the way to you.
Dear Lucy,
Just a quick question for you that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere .... was curious about the puppy growth rate. Right now, at 7 months, Lucy (standard schnoodle) is about 24-25 lbs. How long do they continue to grow and what do you think we can expect as a "full grown" weight based on this rate? Just curious.Our "Lucy" continues to be a wonderful member of the family (and the neighborhood, for that manner!!) We just got back from vacation this evening and are anxious to pick her up from "doggie camp" tomorrow (who is also the groomer .. she runs a Doggie Day Care and has been taking care of her for the last 5 days). The "Day Care" is amazed at her temperment. Both the groomer and our vet constantly comment about how this dog does not have a nervous bone in her body. They are so amazed at what a calm, even tempered dog she is. We all especially love to watch her eat and drink. She still loves to completely lay down and stretch out during every meal. She's done this since the day we got her and continues to amuse us all with this behavior. She also loves water and will jump into the shower whenever any one of us is in it. In fact, out neighbors who have a pool invite our kids AND Lucy over for "a swim". What a great dog ... Tomorrow she'll come home all "groomed" and I'll send you a picture so you can see for yourself how beautiful she is. We continue to thank you for such a great start!!
Hope you and the business are doing well. (It should .. your puppies continue to be the cutest on the web!!!) We're glad we found you.
Sincerely,
Amy
Hi Mike & Lucy,
Just a quick note to thank you so much for our new puppy. Our 8 year old and "Ogie" are inseparable. The pup has an excellent temperament and is a joy to be around. It clearly shows the care and experience you show to these pups and I would highly recommend you if asked. He was fine after his flight to Chicago, he was running around his new yard twenty minutes after we got him home. He has made many new friends, both canine and human.
Thanks again.
Steve, Anne & Sean
I just wanted to update you on my puppy (she was the little female parti from Lamb Chop's May 1st litter). Maisie has the most expressive face and eyes and frequently uses that to her advantage! She is extremely gregarious and loves to visit people when we are out. She has absolutely won the hearts of the kids and everyone else she meets for that matter. Maisie has been fantastic for Michael (4 years). He had a bad experience with a dog that tried to bite him in the face and Maisie has helped him get past that quickly. She has only puppy kisses for the kids and has not once nipped or bitten them. She seems to have won the heart of the cat as well. More often than not, I find both Maisie and the cat together in her kennel. She has completed puppy level training classes with flying colors. She learned the commands quickly (with the exception of COME) and loves to show off. The puppy training academy has given permission for her to move up to beginner level in October (they want her to be at least 5 months). I have pictures being developed now and will send you an updated picture as soon as I get them back.
Thank you so much for this beautiful little pup! She is happy, healthy and a wonderful pet.
Tammy
Lucy- I don't have any pictures to send yet but I wanted to let you know how happy we are with "Henley" the schnoodle. He is everything he's supposed to be and more. His 1st vet. visit went great. The vet even commented on how well the breeders (you) did during his first 8 weeks and also preparing him for travel, etc. If you ever need a reference feel free to use my name. I'll send pictures as soon as I can.
Sincerely, DW
Hi Lucy,
I just wanted to take a minute and tell you your new web page looks great. I'm happy to report that the black female yorkie poo we pick up on July 8, 2003 is doing great. We named her Lucy! She is a real treat. She is happy and healthy and simply loves our family. My kids adore her and shower her with love and attention. She is perfect for our family. My kids are ages 8, 6 and 4. Some breeders would not sell us a puppy of this small size given the ages of my children. However, my kids are very gentle and very careful with her. Thank you for letting it be MY choice and MY judgment call if a dog of this size would do well in our family. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for all you do. Keep up the good work.
Cindy
hi mike Lucy,
I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with Abby, my little mixed breed that I got from you last year. she has been a source of joy to my whole family. she has been such a joy that I would like too get another one if you have any available. I would love to have another female, parti, like Abby. any possibility ????? let me know.
sincerely,
p.h.
Lucy,
We wanted to thank you for breeding such a great dog. We named her Lila and she is the absolute best. Her temperment is calm, and very, very smart. She was actually potty trained in about 5 weeks. We have not had an accident in over a month now. She comes and heels and sits for her paws to be wipped (sp) off. We just appreciate you everyday and we comment what a great breed you created and this great dog.
Thanks again,
Calleen and Harry
Hi Lucy,
This is from DJ in Yankton, SD.....Just a short note to keep you apprised of little "Bonzo". We purchased him from you in Sept. of 2000. He is just a perfect little guy. Our Vet and groomer just love this little guy....But not as much as we do..... He looks identical to his sire "Topper". Toppers picture could just very easily pass for Bonzo. He's a very happy little fella here, and we love him lots. (Except when he runs off with our socks.........Thanks again for providing him, he is just perfect ...

Hi Lucy,
We have got 2 poodles from you. First Trixie, a parti toy in 1999. Her father is Banjo, she looks just like him. Then we got KoKo last year, a brown standand. Her mother is Touche and father is Charlie. I just wanted to tell you how much of a joy these dogs are to us. We have never had one problem with them. You would not believe how smart KoKo is everybody loves her. They get their hair done every month and the groomer said KoKo is her favorite of all the dogs she does. Trixie got to be 6 lbs. KoKo is just starting to fill out now that she is a year.My eleven year old daughter walks KoKo all over and she has never been to a formal class and she just prances and knows not to tug. I just wanted you to know want a good job you do with your dogs and thank you again for our lovely babies.

Dear Lucy,
I have been meaning to write for some time to thank you and let you know how much we are enjoying our puppy "Cookie". Cookie came to us from you right before Christmas and has proved to be a wonderful addition to our family. She is loved by all who know her and meet her. She is beautiful with the most wonderful disposition. Thank you again for allowing us to share our home with such a special dog.
Kind Regards,
EH
