Grigio, Schnorkie puppy

dalew — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:28:39 +0000

Dale & Family,
My husband and I want to thank you for being a breeder of such integrity and for breeding such a healthy dog. Grigio was born November 21, 2009 and joined us when we were newlyweds January 23, 2010 at 1.8 lbs. 6 months later he’s at 5.3 lbs, and is in the peak of health. His coat is very soft and his ears have become erect, always telling his opinion. He’s been an absolute joy; very smart, quick to pick up on training and tricks, and he’s absolutely adorable. We get compliments everywhere we go, and he is a favorite of the staff and clients alike at doggie day care. Having been socialized by your family at a young age, and continuing that through play dates at day care, he’s very friendly to everyone and completely at ease with larger dogs of other breeds. He’s very active but enjoys napping and relaxing after a good walk. He loves riding in the car in his own car seat where he can see out the window. We’re so lucky to have adopted a wonderful puppy from a wonderful breeder, I can’t wait to convince my husband it’s time to get Grigio a sister! We know right where we will come.

Sophie, Maltepoo puppy

dalew — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:45:06 +0000

Hi Dale and Family,

Marty and I wanted to let you know how well Sophie is doing.

She is now 6lbs.5oz. and has completed all her vaccinations. She is 99% housebroken and will sit on command. She loves playing with her many, many toys and sleeping in our bed at night. Today she had her first grooming appointment and the groomer fell in love with her as does everyone who meets her. She loves people especially children.

She is a wonderful addition to our home and we feel very lucky to have her.

I have enclosed a couple of photos of her so you can see how she has grown.

Johnny, Yorkichon Puppy

dalew — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:03:12 +0000

Hi Dale,

I don’t know if you remember us, but we’re the family that bought one of your Yorkchon puppies this fall. We named

Johnny

him Mellow Johnny and I just wanted to send you a quick email and picture of our boy. He’s been a great addition to our family. At six months now, he’s really grown up to be a good pup. He’s fully trained – both on paper pad (with the big snows we’ve had, going outside sometimes has been tough!) and outside trained. He’s smart and has a very sweet personality. Everyone who meets him gets a big kiss from him. He’s very friendly and loves kids. He’s been great in our house – which is always full of teenaged boys and other friends coming and going. We also have neighbors with small kids and he’s been great with them too.

He’s had all his shots and at the last vet visit, she said he looks “very healthy”. Although he loves to be outside and run around, his favorite place is on mom’s lap – whether I’m visiting with friends or watching tv or just reading and drinking my morning coffee, he’s a great companion for me.

My husband grew up on a farm and raised beagles for hunting for many years. When I started talking about getting a dog, he said to me, “I’ve had dogs. I don’t need another dog”. Well, guess who is his best buddy! He loves that little dog. With Johnny’s sweet personality and sunny disposition, it would be hard not to love him.

Attached is a picture. We really appreciate what a great pup he is. We couldn’t be happier with Johnny.

Sincerely,

Janet Brower

Marta, Miniature Labradoodle

dalew — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:57:11 +0000

I thought you might like to have a picture of our mini labradoodle, Marta. She was born on April 9 and is doing great. She is extremely intelligent, learns commands very quickly and has a big vocabulary of words she understands. She is very active and athletic – loves fetching balls and running, but also relaxing with us, too. She loves new experiences and people, especially if a belly rub is included! She gets lots of compliments and petting on her walks, and kids love to meet her. We’re so happy that Marta is a part of our family. Thank you, Dale!

Sincerely,

Joan Shannon

Yorkshire Terriers, Sadie and Roxy

dalew — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:44:12 +0000

Hello Dale!!
I am not sure if you remember but my sister and I purchased our dogs from you on Valentines day of last year! They will be a year on December 20th! I wanted you to see how they have grown and how cute the girls are! Roxy (my dog) is quite a bit larger that her sister Sadie. Roxy is about 5-5.5 lbs depending on the scale and Sadie is 3 Lbs!! You can tell which one is Sadie in the pictures because she is so much smaller!

They are doing great though!! They love to play, especially together! They are great dogs with good temperaments! We feel very blessed to have them! Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Williams

Nichnolas in yard

while since I have sent any pictures but I wanted to let you know that Nicholas is doing great! Here are some pictures. Your kennel is one of the best.. Good for you, us, and Nicholas! Keep up the good work.

Lily, Schnoodle puppy

dalew — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 19:32:57 +0000

Hi Dale,

Lily is a wonderful puppy and has adjusted very well to our family! She is very easy and is a joy! We’ve been blessed

Lily full-grown

again! Lily traveled to North Carolina with us last week to visit my mother and her golden retriever dog, Honey. She was a bit afraid of her at first, probably due to her size, but by the time we left she was fine. Thank you for her…………we love her and I think she’s very happy here. I’ve registered her for puppy training classes at the local PetSmart which will begin on December 2nd. I was talking to the trainer there and told her about the type of puppy I had and she said how smart and good they are. She’s so right!

I’ll keep in touch with her progress! Thank you for caring so much for her. We do too!

Sincerely,

Lori Montesano

Scout, Schnorkie puppy

dalew — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:42:37 +0000

: Scout at Christmas time

Scout is great! These pics are after his first (schnauzer) haircut. It was a little strange picking him up because I didn’t recognize him! His hair a little longer now and is more of a puppy cut. He has selective hearing most times, but is a very good guard dog…he thinks he is a rotweiler! He likes to be around people and other dogs. He loves the cats (though most times they don’t like him). He is about 7 pounds, but thinks he’s 70!! Overall, he is doing wonderfully!! Thanks

Sincerely,

Nina Piccione

Kelly, Yorkshire Terrier puppy

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:12:43 +0000

Kelly such a doll! She has a WONDERFUL personality! My family and I cannot get over how inquisitive and expressive

she is. We had her at an outdoor shopping center last evening and multiple people commented on her cuteness – of course – as well as what a great personality she has.

Thanks again!

Another comment from Alicia 4/28/10

Dear Dale;

One year ago today my mom and I picked up our little Kelly – all 1 pound of her – and brought her home. I just wanted to update you to let you know that she is doing wonderfully! She’s such a joy, and her energetic puppy ways are becoming intermingled by twinklings of adult dog behavior.

I still have Kelly on 1/2 a Nuvet tablet every day (which she LOVES); that is her treat for walking into her crate before I leave for work. We haven’t had to go to the vet’s in months as Kelly has been the epitome of health, although they always love when I take Kelly by for a visit. At 4 pounds she is still the smallest dog our vet treats, but health is of no concern. Kelly is such an intelligent dog; she learns tricks easily in less than 5 minutes! I remember teaching her to sit last year, the day after I brought her home from your home, and then she kept following me around the house, sitting in hopes of getting a treat! She has learned many more things since that day, and continues to be curious and eager to exceed our expectations of her.

I attached a picture of Kelly from Easter. She was freshly groomed and the groomer even glued little earrings on! Thank you for such a wonderful new family member. Kelly is like my parents’ first grandchild and gets lots & lots of attention. I will begin to work toward a graduate degree in August, but in a few years when I graduate and have more time to train another puppy I will most certainly be back for a little brother (or maybe sister) for Kelly to boss around! I hope you and your family are happy and healthy!

Thanks again,

Alicia

Rocky, Yorkichon puppy

dalew — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:35:19 +0000

I cannot tell you enough what a welcomed addition Rocky is to our family. We have had many pets but Rocky is more than that, he is a member of our family. He is so loveable. He just enjoys being around people and he has the most extraordinary personality. Rocky is very intelligent and is a quick learner. During the day when we are at work he stays with his ‘grammy’. Donna’s mom absolutely adores him and he is a wonderful companion for her. Whenever we pick him up she has a cute story for us about something he did during the day. Here at home each one of us has a special loving relationship with him and he with us. He loves the evening when either Donna or myself are doing our school work. He will curl up next to us or lie on our lap as we watch television. The children love him and it is great to watch their interactions. Rocky is a true God-send and blessing. Our lives have been enriched by him and I cannot thank you enough. He is very healthy and energetic. He weighs a little over 4 pounds. When we take him to the vet he isloved by all the doctors and asistants and at times they do not want to give him up. He is a love puppy. I really never noticed the change in color although looking at pictures I can see how his head became more gray. His markings are so beautiful.

Our best to you and your family.
