Dear Jeanne and Julie, they are here, finally, and they're wonderful. The state-vet was very impressed about they're condition, my aunt is so in love that I'm worried she won't let me take them home, and I was very impressed with your thoughtful, loving little package with vitamins, electrolytes, etc. We've been playing in the kitchen, played in the garden, napped on my lap on the sun-chair together with my pug (a little crowded, I admit), they've eaten and right after gone outside, and now they're exhausted. I am, too, actually, but I'll have quite a way to drive home now. Will tell more tomorrow. Thy are absolutely gorgeous. Hal - who will be named Harry now - is absolutely my dog already. Thank you so for helping me choose. It'll just be hard to separate them, but they'll see each other each day. Kind regards from a very happy Katharina Dear Jeanne,
they are the sweetest puppies! I drove five hours with them from
Frankfurt to Berlin yesterday, accompanied by my pug, and they slept
the entire time. We stopped once and went or a little walk in the
woods, where the immediately eliminated, played a little, and then we
went back to the car. When we arrived here, we went to play in the
dark garden, they went flying over the grass, jumping and running:
Gorgeous to watch, like mini-gazelles.
Evelyn came to pick up Hadley last night, which was really quite sad,
Harry kept looking for his brother and whining. He slept in my bedroom
in a dog bed smudged between my pug and my Siamese cat, it looked very
cozy. I woke him this morning at nine o'clock (obviously, I was quite
exhausted from that trip, as well), and he immediately started looking
for his brother.
Hadley did the same all night and all morning, until she brought him
back to baby sit, she had an unforeseeable date quite a distance away,
and we both agreed the boys had been doing enough traveling for a
while.
They haven't had a single accident in the house; every time they wake
up, I carry them downstairs to the garden, where they obediently pee
right away, and the rest happens just moments later. They've been
sleeping and playing and sleeping all day, ate very well, dry-food
mixed with fresh broiled lamb. They are adorable, cuddly and sweet,
can't quite decide what to make of the Poodles, the black Louise is in
love, whereas the brown "baby" Ida just pretends they're just visiting
and will soon be going away, even though deep down, she knows better.
And Theo the pug is just the best babysitter, if the little boys start
whining, he walks over to their bed and just lies on top of them,
which shuts them up right away (probably because they have difficulty
breathing with that heavy thing on top of them). But they greeted him
very happily when I came back from a very long walk with the three
grown-ups and had a dog-sitter watch them in the meantime.
M vet was here to look at them and found them heavenly, sweet and
wonderfully adjusted and well brought up, obviously.
Right now they're across the room in their little basket, Hal/Harry is
gently licking Hadley's ear, who is sound asleep. It seems cruel to me
to separate them, but I can't possible have five dogs, and besides,
Evelyn does not seem to be willing to give him up.
They are such happy puppies that really speak for your quality as
breeders. You obviously have not just done something, but everything
right.
Kind regards, Katharina

| Dear Mogck Family: My husband and I would like to express how honored we both were to have the chance to visit your facilities. The visit put our mind at ease that we are purchasing the very best puppy for us. In the short two hours of our visitation, the extended love and care from your family members for each and every puppy you have was made exceptually clear to both of us. Each and every puppy seemed very well adjusted and socialized. We can not wait to get the puppy you call Keith home to Cincy. We will be calling him by the name of Winston. We promise to send pictures as he grows. Again, it was such a pleasure to meet Jeanne, Julie, Jordan, and Emma and take a tour of your wonderful kennels. Thank you all again for your time and superb hospitality. Always, John and Tracy Cincinnati, Ohio Proud owners of Winston

Hello all at Fairview Kennels: “Gage,” (aka DeNiro) is doing great. He is sooooo loveable and gives lots of kisses. He and his “brother” Poochino get along great and are endlessly playing with one another. His coloring is getting more beautiful every day. The fawn is showing through the blue so he is almost a taupe color now. We’ll send some new photos soon. Take care and have a great day! Janet Hi Jeanne! We couldn’t wait to take a few pics, so here they are. The sweater is perfect for him because it is quite cold here. The other pics show his color pretty well, and even his personality….he thinks he’s such a stud! Surgery next month, though. Take care, Janet

| Julie Little Dakota, who I named Sammie, is doing great over here in New York. I know he is very happy here. I give him plenty of exercise and an excess of love. He is still crying and whining a lot. It is quite comical. Everybody that comes over my house gets a kick out of him. He jumps so high on people and they laugh so much. He also gives everybody kisses right on the mouth, which some are to fond of. But me I love his kisses. He is so lovable and makes me very happy. I have been bringing him to a dog run so he can hang out with some other dogs. He is the most popular dog there. Everybody is so interested in what kind of dog he is. And he is of course the fastest. Well I wish you all a very Happy New Year. Keep continuing to breed beautiful loving puppies. Thank you so much for my little buddy here. Love Julie L.

| Hi Julie,
These dogs have such a struggle.
Pups are now completely crate trained (sleep all night in their
individual crates), and doing very well on the house training too. We
have put in a dog door and they both figured that out within minutes. I
think they are figuring out the bells too. They ring the bells (hanging
on our back door) to ask to go outside. Browning (Dillon) did his first
real ring today. I was so excited. I have been very consistent with all
their training, and I think it is finally starting to pay off.
They are both completely devoted to me. I am mom. In the morning after
they go out to potty, it is our cuddle time in bed and they come in and
join me for an hour or more. They snuggle as close as they can. We do
the same thing at night prior to their last going out for potty at 11pm.
Their favorite place in on their dog bed in front of the fire. The cat
in the picture is my older cat Orange. The pups love him. Browning
always want to sleep right next to him.
They have bonded with my next door neighbor's Airdale Terrier. The run
circles around her.
Hope all is well.
Take care,
Mary Beth

Hi Julie & Jeanne, We just wanted to thank you so much for our little pup (now affectionately known as Ruby). She made it here just fine and we are really having fun with her! She is such a lap dog and she’s trying very hard to entice the cats to play with her…they will give in eventually :) I’m attaching some pictures we took of her this weekend so you can see her in her sassy new green coat. Thank you again for such a terrific Italian greyhound!! -Amy

Hi Julie, I'm not sure if you received my previous email, my email was acting up. Sully arrived safe and sound...he is wonderful. Gino and Sully are very different but I think they'll be best buddies. Sully follows Gino around and already plays fetch. Here are some pics. Monique |

| Hi Julie. Thanks for the pictures. They are just too cute. I'm leaning toward Ashton; let's see what mom thinks. She'll be here in a few hours and I'll be sure to show her. Attached is a pix of Leo (with Sophie). He's doing great and has settled into the family well. He is just the sweetest and we love him dearly. Thanks so much!!! (Mom needs one just like him.) Will be in touch. Take care! Debbie  |

Dear Julie,
I have been intending to write to you to give you an update on Zach. I
have been waiting to get some pictures to send with.
But I am compelled to write to let you know what a wonderful little
dog he is. I absolutely adore him. And he has fit into our little dog
and cat family perfectly.
The winter has been a long, very cold and very wet one but he has
totally housebroken himself to the dog door and except when the
weather is miserable, goes out without his coat or jamies.
About two weeks ago, I started taking him down to the barn with me and
the two Border Collies. Zach, on leash with a long bailing string
attached around my waist. The past two days, he has just pulled the
string and when I call him he races to me leaping and bounding as
though I were the most wonderful thing in the world.
Today, I left the dogs in the house while I went to my riding lesson.
I left at 8am and returned at 2pm. I was surprised to see Steve on the
lane as I drove up to the barn. Then I saw Ned and my heart sunk. How
did they get out of the yard? And where was Zach? Suddenly, Zach raced
around from the barn and greeted the truck and trailer as though he
has been doing that for his entire life.
I live at the end of the road and my property abuts hills where many
cows roam and coyotes sing at night. Little Zach stayed with his big
brothers. Turns out, the magnetic catch on the gate was sprung and the
gate only had to be nudged open.
Zach had his first day of puppy class at Pet Smart last week. I think
he is going to do well. He is smart and willing. He is getting over
his shyness of strangers and only takes a short while to warm up to
visitors.
I have to tell you that if I did not have four horses and two dogs and
four cats, I would get another IG in a heartbeat. But Zach has two
big brothers who allow him to take toys out of their mouths and to
investigate their food while they are eating. He climbs all over tham
with no respect at all and they just smile and groan a bit.
Thank you for breeding such wonderful little guys and making them so
affordable. Zach is worth a million or more to me. I wil lsend
pictures soon. Hope you are all doing well and that winter has
slackend a bit.

| This is Sawyer all
grown up. We love him, you can't have him back! We have a litter of his
on puppyfind.com. They are all super. I believe we have the seal/white
girl sold. He's just a super dog inside and out. Ron & Diane

| Hi Julie! I don't know if you remember him or not, but he was born two years ago May 10, 2004. His parents were Rosie and Kiowa, anyway I recently got a new digital camera and have been trying to catch him when I think about it! He is such the snuggle bug and a real sweet boy, we couldn't do without him! Malinda

Hi.
I'm writing to let you know Lyle is doing
great. He has settled into our family nicely. He is learning to sit
and shake. He has already learned down. He's a very smart little guy.
I'm attaching a picture of him swimming in
Nominy Bay during our vacation. He really loved the sand after he
figured out he shouldn't eat it. LOL
We are thinking of adding another IG to our
family. I really think your Katie is a pretty girl. Are you planning to
breed her in the near future? We also like Sonya. What is her
personality like?
Thanks again for Lyle and we look forward to
hearing from you.

Hi Jeanne,
I hope everything is well with you and
your family.
Just wanted to let you know that Luca is
doing just great. He is a very smart dog and he knows how to use that
to his advantage. (smile) He is growing quite nicely and we actually
start puppy classes on Tuesday 3-16-04. He is growing up to be a very
handsome young dog. Thank you for having such great puppies!!!
I am sending a recent photo of him.
One question though. Do you know if and
how I can get another Avid ID tag?. Luca has had a field day chewing
it up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will talk to
you soon. Take care and God Bless!

Hi Jeanne
Its been along time since we spoke. Just
wanted to touch base with you on how the dogs are doing. Elton we
named Lucca and kept the name of Tessa. Lucca has gotten big and
weighs 10 lbs and 14 inches tall. Tessa is so much smaller than he is
and weighs 7 lbs and is 10 inches tall. What a difference between boy
and girl! They have completed all their shots and are VERY active.
They are always play fighting each other (I think they are play
fighting but sometimes it gets heated I have to separate them.
Tessa more than Lucca is always on the
look out for extra food. They go crazy when were eating like they are
missing out on so much. They are eating each about 2 1/2 cups a day -
in two separate feedings. Is it a good time to be feeding them once a
day now? I wanted to also talk to you about the new vet vitamins. I
have no problems with Tessa eating them. She loves them, but Lucca
will not eat them. He plays around and if Tessa is around she waits
for Lucca to drop it and eats it on him. But most of them time he
will spit it out. Any suggestions?
If you need any references for future
buyers - you can use us as it has been a pleasure.
Enclosed are some pictures of the dogs.
Take care
Angelo

My daughter and I had the pleasure of picking up Walter at the airport for Mike & his fiance who is my granddaughter. It was love at first sight. He arrived in perfect condition and was not shy in wanting to leap into our arms. He not only is adorable, he is smart & has a wonderful personality. All of us are enjoying and spoiling him. We could hardly part with him when he was taken to Mike in Madison, WI where he lives. I thought you would enjoy seeing a picture of "little" Walter with "big" Mike who is a 6' 8" basketball player for Wisconsin. The pictures are attached.
The time, expertise and love that all of you invest in your puppies is
evident in Walter.
Thanks for the joy!

Julie, Jeanne, et al,
Just a note to let you know that all the dogs are doing great.
Disco (Merlin) is turning into an extremely handsome boy. His coloring
is changing and he is becoming much more blue around his face and down
the middle of his back. He is the most laid back. Perfect ear set and
conformation!
Belle (Pauline) is a real doll. She is the most submissive of the
group. She initially lost weight since she would go into a corner and
not eat if another dog came around. Tried feeding her in her
crate-----no go!. I was getting worried since her weight loss was
noticeable. Started sitting with her when she ate and guarding her
food. She enjoys the competitiveness of group feeding but wants nothing
to do with the squabbles over the bowl. She has gained all the weight
back and is now looking great. Belle is beautiful, perfect ears,
perfect conformation and is coming along great on lead training. She
responds well to the clicker.
Luna (Delana) I can't believe it. I started giving her the vitamins
that you suggested. Those vitamins are either amazing or she finally
got a growth spurt. She has gone from being the smallest of them all to
just an inch shorter than Penny. All that growth and in just 3 weeks.
Thank goodness, I was starting to freak out. Her ears are great now and
she has got the basics of come, sit, lay, stay and down under her belt.
I decided to bite the bullet and try to bathe Penny. She was an angel!
What a shock. I expected her to be fighting me the entire time. She
just sat in the sink like a statue. I messed with her feet every night
as she was falling asleep and after about 10 days, clipped them one
evening. No problem. She even let me shave her whiskers after her bath
like the rest of the kids.
We are really enjoying the RRD's as we refer to them. It stands for
Radical Racing Dogs, in reference to way that they fly around the back
yard. Our back yard is 1/3 acre and fenced-in with an eight foot high
brick fence. I let them out 4 times a day for 10 - 15 minutes depending
on the weather. After a good run they come in and lay in their sleeping
bags by the fireplace.
Julie, thank you for the tip on the website for litter box training.
They have all mastered the skill and go in to use it. It was a little
tougher for Disco, he likes to lift his leg. My husband brought home an
orange cone from the city and now Disco is thrilled to anoint it. The
girls just need to learn to do their business and get the heck out or he
anoints their head at the same time.

Julie,
It has been one week today. I am so in love
I can hardly stand it. She sleeps in my armpit every night. I may be
creating a monster, but I will live with it. I've never seen such a
happy girl and scary smart. We have learned stairs already but don't
like long stairways. She and my 8 mo min pin have become fast buds.
They race through the house like holy terrors, leaping in the air and
spinning around. I just stay out of the way.
Just wanted to say thanks for the 4 pound
hunka hunka burning love you sent my way. We adore her.
Elise

September, 2004 Thought you would like an update on Blue. He is doing well. He loves his brothers and must know where they are at times. He’s starting to get into the routine of the family and loves to snuggle with all of us at night. He has such a sweet soul and we are very happy you found him for us. He loves all his toys. We have a basket full of them and buy the end of the day he has every single one out of it. We love him very much. Now all we have to do is continue working on his bathroom habits, although they are getting better. I attached some pictures for you. I thought you might like to see the other 2 that came from you also. Take care and thanks a lot. Judy

Hi there!
We've had the girls almost 10 months now. We finally got a digital
camera and thought we would e-mail you some pictures of them. They are
doing well. They love our sunny California weather. They are full of
energy and personality. They keep us active that is for sure! Remember
Roma, the brown and white runt of the litter? Well, I'm not sure if you
can tell from the pictures, but she has surpassed her sister in size and
stamina. She is almost a full pound larger and she could run a marathon
and still want to play fetch! Bella, the black and white pup is so
gentle. She is sweet and loves to cuddle. She has the most expressive
eyes and facial expressions. Everyone comments on how beautiful they
both are. We will send more pictures soon. We are in the process of
moving and will have to send you some shots of them running in their new
backyard.
Susan and Kami
