Ellie and Sasha are now 6 months
old. They were both spayed today....
we love our puppies. Attached is a
recent picture of Ellie. Ellie loves to
follow me every where I go, she is
always on my feet! She loves to walk
herself on the leash (she holds it in
her mouth as we walk) and jumps
into the water the minute the pool is
open... I will have to send you
pictures of her and Sasha (her sister)
jumping in the pool. They are such a
joy and we are loving every minute of
their puppy stage. They definitely are
trouble when they are together ;)

Robin, Here are some
updated pictures of Hank. He
is now 10wks and is growing
daily! He is such a great
addition to our family.  He is
learning how to fetch the ball,
the newspaper and loves
playing with his toys.  thanks

Hi Robin,
I wanted to give you an update on Lucy.  She is wonderful!  She
graduated from puppy training with flying colors back in July and
she's been completely housebroken since May.  She's dainty,
we're thinking that she'll be more on the small side.  She doesn't
even bark, just makes little whining noises when she needs to
go out.  My kids love her so much.  She's my 3 year old son's
best friend.  We took her on her first road trip back in July and
everyone who met her was so shocked that she was so well
behaved.  Once again, thank you so much for raising such a
wonderful puppy for us.
Here's a recent picture of her.
Just thought I would send you
a picture of Tobie at 3 moths.  
We are so happy that he was
the last one left out of the litter
because I promise you nobody
got one out of that litter that is
as good as this one.  House
training was over in the first
two days, he will sit, lay down,
stay, and shake your hand  on
command.  Like I told you we
have always had labs and they
have all been good, smart
dogs but this boy is heads
above them at this age.

From the first vet check visit (
he was 12lbs) it was 3 weeks
to the next vet visit he gained
14lbs. I think he is going to be
a big dog....
Thanks for a great dog.

Just a little update on Jet-

Jet is GREAT! He is such a good dog! He swam for the first time
last week and has been going on walks with no leash! Everyone
loves him so much! We can't believe how well behaved he is
and how smart! He knows how to sit, lay down, do paw, speak-
and say "hello", crawl, and i am sure he'll learn more!! We
always recommend Elk River Companions to everyone! Thank
you so much for our little guy!!

Hi Robin..... Just wanted to give you a
status update on our beautiful Bella.....
She is the smartest, most playful, most
loveable, puppy we have had in 15
years !!! She retrieves a duck-scented
tennis ball like it is a ribeye steak !!!
She swims in the pool with us and is
not afraid of gunshots...... ALL traits
that were very important to us !!!!!!  I
registered her with AKC..... Her name
is Wheelers Belladonna of the High
Desert...... Belladonna means beautiful
woman in
italian... And boy is she beautiful !!!!  
We are having a blast !!!!!!!!! Will
send pics in the near future.

Hello Robin,
I just wanted to check in and tell you about
Gunner. He has been such a joy in our
family! He is now 11 months old and a great
dog. In the winter months he loved to go
check cattle with me and run around,
especially in the snow! Now that it is nice
out, we go on walks every morning. He is a
very obedient and loving dog, with a
hilarious personality. His drive for retrieving
is great. Last Wednesday Gunner was able
to go on his very first hunt. We were able to
harvest 40 dove and 11 of them ended up in
the pond. Gunner retrieved every one of
them out of the water! I had been working
with him with a dummy and .22 blanks with
great success, but this was the first true test.
He passed with flying colors! Primarily he is
a companion, but will also get to go hunting
with me every chance we get. Also, during
the summer months we bought an 8’ stock
tank to put in the back yard for his swimming
pool. He will spend hours at a time jumping
in and out of the stock tank then brining me
his favorite toy like he is saying “Look what I
can do dad!”. Like I said, Gunner is a joy in
my family and my soon to be Fiancé thinks
gunner needs a little sister. We will have to
see when that day comes. Thanks for
providing us with such a great pup!         
Dane W.

p.s. Even though gunner weighs 70lbs now,
he still thinks he is a lap dog!
I have been meaning to send you
pictures of "Bailey" for awhile now..
and i thought that i should FINALLY
get around to it on his birthday.  I can't
believe it's been almost a year since
we've welcomed him into our home -
he is a great dog and the girls
absolutely adore him.  Here are a few
"before" and "now" photos.  (He was
originally puppy "black collar" and
Duke/Piper are his parents, born Sept
1, 2010)

Thank you so much for such a
wonderful friend.

Want to send you an updated picture
of our Sophie.  She is just 6 months
old and has grown so fast.  She is
such a joy and  brings so much love to
us.  Even the cat has finally begun
playing with her.  
I think she looks just like her mommy,
Maggie.

Robin,
Just wanted to keep you up to date on our
little girl. We named her Heidi because it is
one of the only names our daughter could
say very well. She is very well mannered
and already knows "sit" and "outside" very
well. She is potty training and doing great so
far. We tried to crate train her at night but
she made it very clear she preferred a
sleeping companion so she sleeps in bed
with us. She enjoys naps with my daughter
during the day as well. I will send you more
updates as Heidi progresses. Thank you so
much for this amazingly well behaved and
socialized puppy! We will be sure to
recommend you to anyone looking to
purchase a golden in the future!

Maggie is growing like crazy.  She
loves to crawl up the stairs of a
slide and then go down the slide.  
Remington and Rangler love her very
much.
We wanted to share a picture of
Hank with you. He was part of your
liter on June 14th last year. He is
doing fabulous and is such a great
part of our family!
He is able to fetch the newspaper,
loves to swim and play ball. He is
able to shake and high five so far!
We love him so much and if we had
room we'd have another one!!
Thanks,
Bridget, Bill, Bailey and Sydney

Robin- It occurred to me that Laura and I have
not sent pictures of Bama since we picked her
up from y’all back in December! Attached is a
photo of her from about two weeks ago. She is
doing great, and I believe at her last vet
appointment she was up near 42 lbs.! Her 1
year birthday is about a month away. She is
most likely the most spoiled dog around, a few
whines gets her anything she wants. Her motor
runs 110 mph from the time Laura and I get
home from work until 10pm, when it is time for
bed. She is wonderful to have around the
house and keeps Laura and I very entertained
every day. We love her very much and can’t
thank you enough for bringing her to our home!

What a joy Sophie has brought to our home.
 We took her to the vet the first week and
she was pronounced perfect.  We are
mastering the art of housebreaking, and she
is doing very well.  When we say "let's go
pee pee" she runs to the door and waits for
her leash.  Last night she went to the door,
and barked.  Looks like she has the idea.  I
am attaching some pictures recently taken,
and will do so as she get bigger.
Thank you so much, and we will be looking
to add to our family in about a year.
Julie Smith
