> Hi All,
> 
> It's been quiet here for just about a week now with the rescue litter all 
> placed in great homes.  I wanted to take a minute and thank those of you 
> who offered help and sent referrals to us for these puppies.  Judy and I 
> were more than happy to help these special little ones out and get them 
> going in the right direction.
> 
> Here are a couple notes we have received that are so rewarding I am sure 
> the authors wouldn't mind us sharing:  These notes make it all worth it!

>  >>Buddy went on his first vacation this week. Flew in a small plane, rode in
> various cars, stayed in hotels, experienced 100 degree heat, played in the
> ocean, and hiked in the redwoods. All without so much as a whimper. This is
> a great dog! He gets along with everyone and is very easy-going, nothing
> seems to rattle him much.<<

>  >>Rico is responding to early training with rewards (praise and small 
> pieces of cheese) very
> well. He's learned sit and come (needing a leash pull and praise sometimes),
> is comfortable walking on leash, and stops and sits when we stop. He had his
> first swim in the creek this week and LOVED it, especially with this heat. A
> true water dog. He still wakes up a few times a night, but has resigned to
> being put in the crate to sleep, finally. His opposition to the crate was
> loud and lengthy for a few nights, no lack of determination in this boy.
> House training is still not complete, but the accidents become fewer every
> day. In short, he is a great dog and we are thrilled to have him.<<
