I just wanted to update you and Jane on Fionn.  He is a very sweet and loving dog who is definitely a lap dog.  We are working on the whole obedience training and so far he has sit, lay and up…not quite able to understand stay.  I cannot believe how smart he is.  Anyone who says dogs don't understand what you are saying are way off the mark, he certainly understands certain words like "want to go see Buddy"  or "ready to go home".  He has brought so much joy to my life and I cannot thank you enough.  Here are some current photos of him.

THanks again Dale!!

We love them!!

Thanks,

Congratulations on the Iannelli family on their new Castlemar baby! Bacci is very adorable and very loved!

Hi Dale & Jane,

Sophie just celebrated her 6th birthday on Friday & I thought you might enjoy seeing a few shots of her at home. I got her a couple of the Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters, some treats & a few other toys to celebrate the occasion. She looks great, although she could loose a few not unlike most of us approaching middle age, & has as much energy as ever. Lots & lots of coat, we are very friendly with the Mars.

Hope your New Year is off to a good start!

Best wishes,

Shawn

Dale:

I thought you and your wife might enjoy looking at our full grown spaniels.

The Blenheim is (Mia) and the Ruby is (Sabrina) but we call her Bri. You were so right about Bri when we first started talking about her. She is a baby and is very darling. We call her our little angel dog. We love this breed so much ,if we had more room and I didn't work we would have a 3rd one.

Happy New Years to you and your family

Best Regards

Hi Dale,

I don’t know if you remember me.  We have gotten 4 dogs from you.  We just love the cavaliers and they are just doing great.  Bella, our youngest just turned 3 on September 26th.    Well, I have an amazing story for you…. This morning I am in my bedroom making the bed.  I see a thin  blennan cavalier in my fenced backyard with a leash on, running around.  Oh My Gosh, who is this dog, and how did they get in my backyard.   Then, I hear woman calling for a dog.  I ran outside with Marty and Bella by my side.  I yell to the ladies to come up the stairs.  They have two cavaliers and one got away during their walk on the golf course.  The one is so skinny it got through the fence. They dogs were so excited to see each other.  It was just too cute!  Come to find out, The one that got away, came from your house. In further conversation, we find out that Bella, and the escape artist, are they same age.  They must have been living with each other at the beginning of their lives. Then, Nancy said, the dog ran away another time and headed to my house by route of Keller Springs.  Someone had seen her and told her to look by my house because I have two Cavaliers.  They said they are attracted to other cavaliers. And sure enough they found her.  Our houses are not that close together.  That dog worked hard to get to our house. I find this amazing that there is a connection between these dogs.  So, I thought I would share this story with you.   I can’t get over it!  I am just truly amazed!

So Dale, the ladies name was Nancy.  Bella came from the sire = CH Sandels Pride of Monarch and the Dam = Peachcreek Jelly Bean.  and see if they are related or just connected in some way that she keeps trying to get over  here to see the dogs. 

Isn’t this just so amazing!  Diane Geracie

Hey Dale,

This is Leslie Estes.  I just wanted to thank you for giving me the most wonderful puppy.  Sorry it has taken me a while to write but we have been getting settled.  We named the little tri female Ella and she is absolutely perfect.  She did great on the Long drive back to Gulfport MS and since then has developed into an absolutely amazing puppy.  She is incredibly smart! She is almost 12 weeks old now and knows how to sit, lay, stay ( i can even leave the room and she doesn't move), give a high five, leave it.  We are working on the whole come here thing and as long as I have a treat or something she wants she comes running.  House breaking is coming along.  She still has some accidents at the apt. but if we are at a house with a backyard she does great!! We are on a pretty good schedule going out about every 4 hours.  She is doing great with leash training.   She loves playing with my sisters malti-poo and enjoys meeting all the other dogs in the apt complex.  She is a perfect balance of excitement and energy with time for relaxed snuggling I really couldn't ask for a better puppy!  These are some of the pictures most are from the ride home and the rest are her sitting patiently for me to finish writing this email :).  We took her to the vet once when we first got her and then again this past week for her next round of shots.  We are going to get her spayed in about two weeks.  The vet was so Impressed with her!!! He seemed kinda sad that we were going to fix her saying that she would Make BEAUTIFUL babies with wonderful temperment.  I told him that I will leave that to yall :) 

Once again Thank You so much for her she is one SPECIAL puppy!!!

Hi Dale,

Roy  & I wanted to send you a recent picture of our little Reggie! This was taken this past April 2009 at Roy's son, Gino's home in Charlotte, NC.....They have a "golden/noodle" named Daisy. She is a very large dog & so loves our Reggie!

Hope we can find Reggie a buddy. It would have the very best care & love!

As Ever,
Diane

Dale,

I apologize for not sharing these pictures sooner, but I wanted to let you know how our new addition, Zoey, is doing.  We can’t tell you enough how happy we are with our new little family member (I guess not so new, since we got her last September from you).  We absolutely ADORE her.  Her happiness and excitement about life is SO contagious…everyone who meets her falls in love with her and wants to take her home with them!   She is absolutely beautiful and SO smart!

Just wanted to thank you for breeding such wonderful (and true to breed) puppies…we couldn’t be happier with her!!

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

P.S. Don’t be surprised if you hear from us in a few years seeking another…I think we’re addicted to Cavaliers now! ;-)

Well we had about two feet of snow over night.  My husband had to shovel a path and huge area out back for the dogs before they could go out this morning.  Snow drifts up to 3 feet!  I still can't get over how much Riley LOVES the snow.  I've never had a dog that loves it so much.  He's like a little kid,wanting to keep going outside and run through the snow.  He likes biting/eating it too!  Lots of fun!

Take care,
Kerry Landhauser
