Everything they do is
100%. Every day they live life to the fullest and are a good
example for their families about how to have Fun and Be Happy!
Kids and Wire Fox go together like peanut butter & jelly.
Where one is, there is the other. Kids are exciting and on the
move and this is such a delight to a Wire Fox terrier.
Some of the greatest compliments to this breed, are parents and
grandparents who grew up with a Wire Fox, and want to create the
same wonderful companionship and lifestyle they enjoyed for
their own kids and grandkids, with a Wire Fox of their own.
This breed loves to be on
the GO!! Loves to travel and hike; very athletic and agile .
Non Shed & Hypo
Allergenic are extreme plus also! Grooming varies
from every 6 -12 wks, depending on the look you prefer. Tailored
and Sharp show look, or Scruffy Natural look. Weekly brushing
and a monthly bath with gentle shampoo is all they need to stay
in good condition. Striping the coat can be done, and is
required in showing to keep the coat the correct texture and
retain color clarity. In pets, clippers are used to create the
same look with correct blade choices. My favorites are 5 for
body 10 for ears.
K -9 Social Skill &
Interaction is very much necessary after you take a puppy home.
Do NOT isolate the puppy from other dogs. It needs interaction
to remain in tune with K9 connection. Terriers who are
isolated and live only with people, forget how to be Dog
Friendly. Do your part, find Playmates that are good disposition
and all sizes; good nature is a must. This insures that your
terrier will always look forward to play and interacting with
other dogs, rather than being a bully or aggressive towards
other dogs. Most important time 2-12 months. Puppy
Kindergarten is recommended at 16 wks. This is the ideal age for
learning and doing things your way. Six months plus is the
teenager stage and sometimes a little more independent and head
strong. I recommend Ceasar Milan CD Dog Whisperer to get in tune
to the “Leader of the Pack” method of training , because
Terriers can be head strong and somewhat stubborn. The key to
success is being the Leader and starting young with the process.
Ceasar's theory and skills with body language is key to success.
Have fun in Training and your dog will enjoy and excel.
Male or Female debate is
the most asked question I get. In my experience one is not
better than another. Its like our kids, no two are quite alike,
each has individual traits and quirks that make him Unique. Sex
is not responsible for smarter, sweeter or easier to train.
Neutering & Spaying is best for any pet. So choose the puppy NOT
the sex.

Hi Joy ,
Carter had his birthday Nov 17 . I thought you would
like to see one of the activities he loves . He also
loves to play fetch and chase ground squirrels. He is a
handful but we are continually laughing. My husband says
now that we have had him he would not have any other
breed but a wire Fox. As you can tell we love him. Thank
you so much for sending us the perfect pet.

Quigley
Hi, Quigley rarely holds still enough to get a good
picture. He is loved by one and all. He eats everything
that fits in his mouth. He also catches a mouse a day.
My old terrier would be jealous because Quigley caught
two chipmunks. Drover would run them to ground and wait
all day for them to come back out. I guess Quigley is
faster? I can teach him anything except to come he
thinks coming is a game of can you catch me. We are
working with a lunge line but it doesn’t seem to be
making the connection for him. He also continues
Drover’s fight with the vacuum monster. Just thought
you’d like to hear about his progress.

so much. She is a character! There is never a dull moment in our

in smiles as they walk past her, and this is New York City, so
getting people to smile is a tall order!
My son is dying to be on your website with his pup, so if you

Hey Joy,
Hobbes is doing great.
We just had her spayed so she recovering nicely from
that. She is ready to get the cone off her head.
She has been a great
addition to our household. She has yet to met a stranger
or a dog that she did not want to play with. We have
been taking her doggy daycare once or twice a week and
she has a blast. We enjoy it too because she comes home
exhausted. Attached are a couple of latest pictures.
Thanks

Hi Joy,
Here are some pics of
Abby. She's really playful, energetic, and Miss
Personality. She's doing fine at 16 weeks. Weighs
between 10 and 11 lbs., and we have finished all her
puppy vet visits. She's doing well with potty training.
She sleeps in her crate all night and has not messed the
bed in it one time. She knows what we're going out for
in the morning or for a walk, but she also knows to use
a pad if we can't get out because of weather, etc. She
responds well to her name and comes (most of the time)
when called. We're pleased to have her in our home.
Keeps old people young.

My very best friend is a French Bull Dog named Pookie.
We live together and I like to use her as a pillow
during nap time. Sometimes I get a little to
rambunctious and Mom has to scold me. It turns out
that I am very sensitive for a Terrier and I get my
feelings hurt easily. I will generally sulk when
scolded until Mom picks me up and kisses my face and
tells me it is all okay. I now play fetch and I am
learning how to play Frisbee. I can easily out run
the French Bull Dog so when she gets tired we play tug
of war.
I
made up a song after my first week in my life time home
that more or less summed up my happy puppy days -
One,
Two – Chew on a Shoe
Three, Four – Run out the Door
Five, Six – Swing off the French Bull Dog’s Lips
Seven, Eight – Climb the Gate
Nine, Ten – Take a Nap and Start All Over Again
I have included some
pictures of me in some of my many outfits -

Joy,
Almost three years ago I contacted you about a Wire Fox
Terrier named Bobbi. My husband and I met her at the
airport about a week later, and immediately fell in
love. Her name now is Dizzie, which suits her
personality for sure! Dizzie has brought more joy and
love into our lives than we could have ever imagined. I
could never thank you enough for what you have given us.
Dizzie is still a Chattanooga, TN resident. She loves
her younger sister Rikku whom we got a right as Dizzie
turned a year old. She has quite the diva personality
constantly demanding attention but equally giving just
as much love in return. Her birthday is at the end of
this month and the neighborhood dogs are getting
together to celebrate with turkey cupcakes and she is
super excited! We apologize it has taken this long to
give an update, but will be sending them more often.
Once again thank you so much, what you do is so special.
Thanks,
Emily Duff
What a great feeling inside my heart I got when I saw
the pup for the first time. A beautiful dog Joy, so
lovely and clean. It fell asleep on the ride home right
on my lap. Once home I fed and gave it water and bathed
it. It began to familirise itself to the house and back
yard. Once the birthday girl arrived and I surprised her
with her puppy everything totally fell into place and I
knew it was meant to be . Call me crazy or a hopeless
romantic but when Allison and the pup met it was like
they have known one another in previous lifes. They
clicked like old souls, they laughed they both kissed
and hugged each other they jumped w joy I mean the fire
in there hearts ignited and I knew they were going to be
inseperable.The pup didn't react this way with me but
with Allison it was magic. Would you have guessed she
named it Benji lol i mean thats my name Benjamin lol oh
well I'll have to live with that. Thank you so
much Joy you are truely blessed with the gift of
producing amazing beautiful dogs for millions of
family's like us.

Hello Joy,
This is the Haken’s
just giving you an update on Harvey.We
know it has been a while and we apologize; our lives
have been so busy lately.Harvey
celebrated his 1st
birthday on 04-11-2012 and enjoyed all the presents he
got and the doggie birthday cake Autumn made for him.The
more we age with Harvey the more we get to know his
personality.He is
a very social dog when it comes to other dogs but he is
still quite timid around all strangers.
Harvey’s two most favorite games to play with Andy are
tug-of-war and fetch and Harvey also likes snuggling up
on the couch with Autumn to watch TV and relax.We
have attached some photos of Harveyfor
you.We
will try and be more timely in getting you updates.
Have a great day and once again, thank you for
Harvey!

Just wanted to let you

health and adjusting to our family very well. She
is eating great, sleeping all night in her crate,
learning to sit and come, and loves all the kids (did I
ever mention that I have four kids?)We are all in love and
very happy with Happy (Daisy :) Thank you for the
perfect addition to our family.
Daisy's favorite thing
to do is play in the sand with the kids. She
buries her nose and most of her face and just rolls
around. She is very happy being a California

Hi Joy,
My first 48 hours with my new family have been great. They
liked my name Reggie but thought I was more creative and
artsy so I am now called Picasso. I have a 14 year
old brother, 11 year old sister and 6 year old bichi poo
playmate. Her name is Mona Lisa, and we have become fast
friends.
I met my vet yesterday. He says I am perfect. My heart
and lungs are good and everything else seems to be
working properly. I am still trying to grow into
my legs and feet and sometimes trip, my family thinks
it's funny when i go up the step. I sleep in my
crate and nap there too. I have a big back yard to romp
around in. Sometimes dad turns on the sprinkler and I
get to play in the water. Mom says I am all puppy and
have some lessons to learn. She doesn't like it when i
find my brother's shoes to chew on, but it feels so good
on my puppy teeth. I am trying to get the potty training
down. I'm not perfect but am trying really hard.
Yesterday as I was following mom thru the house I found
myself in a mirror....boy am I funny! It's time for my
nap. As I get bigger I will send you pictures and
updates on myself. Thanks for helping me find my forever
family. Tell everyone hi.

Hi Joy,
We
received the registration yesterday and I want to thank
you very much. Here are some pictures of Sunny
from the last month. As you can see she makes
friends with many animals and people. Her favorite
friend is Suka, my daughter's Siberian Husky, that
Sunny terrorizes and will not back down. She also
knew to be very gentle with 18 year old Kiwi, who passed
away just a couple weeks ago. And she loved
playing with two of my grandsons, 7 and 8, when they
spent a week here going to a day camp.
She is very curious about all the animals,
including horses. When we are walking and she
spots a deer, she will just sit and stare for the
longest time. One day as we were on the back porch
headed for the back yard, Sunny (still in my
arms)started barking furiously and spotted a mama bear
and her cub in an apple tree. The bear immediately
scurried out of the yard and up into a huge pine tree on
the other side of the fence. (Joy, Sunny is never
left outside by herself for these very reasons. I
am always with her when she is running loose in the
backyard.)
Sunny
has had all her puppy shots and knows to sit when asked
and housebroken. She is as rambunctious as we knew
she would be, but so very sweet when she is calmed down
and tired. I thought the crate she came in would
last forever, but she can stretch the length of it so we
have a larger one. She really does love sleeping
in the crate and except for the first night, readily
goes in at bedtime and sometimes just through the day.
She really is my Sunshine every day.
Thanks again, Carol and Gary Kyte
My Dear Joy,
You can not even imagine the happiness
that my Charlie has brought into our home, and
even the neighborhood. Everyone loves him. I
totally believe he is the cutest dog in
Dallas!!!! I just received today his
registration. Thank you for sending it. He is
one amazingly smart dog and also challenging.
With a personality of his own and some craziness
around. He has changed my life for good. I am
enclosing some pictures for you to know how
spoiled and adorable he is.
There are no words to thank you enough.
My life turns around him now.
I will keep you updated.

Hi Joy, It's me
"Mico", I will be a year old on 1/17/12! My mommy
thought you would want to see how much I have
grown! I am loving my life in Seattle and today I
experienced my first 3 inches of snow since I moved
here last March. I love the snow! On the picture
attached, can see the look on my face when my mommy
asked if I wanted to come inside....my look is
saying..."Are you kidding, I am not coming in any
time soon!" My hair
is a little long for now to keep me warm in the
winter, but my mom has always stripped my hair and
will be doing so soon so that my hair will not lose
to much color. I have been in perfect health and I
am well trained. My mom says I am so smart. Here
are the commands and things that I know or have
done:
Sit
Stay - I can stay in place for a long time
without moving!
Lay down
Go get your toy
Get your bone
Go to your mat
Go to your crate
Heel
Drop it
Fetch - I love fetch! You must have taught
me this, as when I arrived in Seattle at 9 weeks, I
already knew how, I just didn't know how to "drop
it", but know I do!
Loose leash walking
I eat my food slowly
I am gentle around
babies and small children
I maintain control
when I see other dogs on a walk
I am still a little jumpy when I see people,
but I think my mom will have this behavior stopped
completely in a few weeks as she tried a new
technique with a different sound that stopped this
behavior almost immediately.
I never potty in the
house...My mom did a good job training me! I ring a
bell when I want to go out!
I sleep in my crate
at night and I never cry or whine!
I still walk
perfectly on the treadmill, as I have done since my
mommy taught me 3 days into arriving in Seattle
I love Bully
Sticks...I have hidden a endless supply around the
house!
I made my first
international trip to Canada this past summer and
walked 13 miles around Stanley Park in Vancouver
BC! The Westin Hotel treated me like a queen!
I went to a training
ranch (no kennels) for 3 weeks while my parents went
on a trip and learned lots of new tricks and made
new friends.......I have never had a social problem
with any kind of dog!
I love the dog park and I always keep an eye
on my mommy so I will not stray to far. I love all
the dogs there....and I am not afraid of big dogs.
I am a natural swimmer!
I will jump in the water and fetch balls or any
toy....I will even swim under water to fetch a toy!
Thanks for doing such a good job
with breeding me....I hope to always be able to
give you a excellent report each year! My mom
continues to read lots of books on dog training
and dog psychology and we both like watching the
Dog Whisperer together!
We
hope this email find you doing well....say hello
to my family their in Missouri! God
bless, Mico and The Hartmann's

http://www.amazon.com/Culinary-Canine-Great-Chefs-Their/dp/1935484567
She is doing wonderful! I just love her to pieces,
as does everyone that meets her! She Will be a year
soon and is as gorgeous as ever.. she loves horses..
almost stupidly.. goes out into the pasture and
wants them to play with her.. she is very fast.. She
is as fast as my horse at a full canter, but in a
gallop we blow her away.. she loves to go on trails
and my horse likes having her around.. She was
chased by a 17hand horse last week and she stopped
and turned around to see if he was keeping up.. he
stopped dead in his tracks as he couldn't believe
her! I also taught her to lead my horse around..
which she does, but my horse isnt keen on it and
will rattle the gate to go back into the pasture..
its too funny!!! She is living the life!!!
Hi Joy! This is
Andy and Autumn Haken, Harvey's proud parents! We
just wanted to email you and update you on Harvey. Harvey is
doing really well! He has definitley become a big
part of our family! We
weighed him yesterday and he is now 14lbs. He has an
appt to be neutered in a week. He usually goes on a
long run with Andy every day and he loves it! He
also absolutley LOVES car rides! They are like field
trips to him and he just loves them! He also likes
playing fetch. We take him out to the farm when we
can and he loves being off his leash and running
around with the big dogs! He is still a bit shy
around people as we pass them on walks but he is
getting better. His ears have been up lately and
we're not sure why or if they'll fold back down. Is
that normal? We are
attaching some pictures for you to enjoy! :) Thanks
again, Autumn,

HI Joy!
Just a quick message to let you know
that Colby is doing well and he has been a
wonderful addition to the family. He is now 15
lbs and has a great personality. He does find
himself in trouble from time to time...such as
putting a hole in the wall, a couple of shoes
have been destroyed and for some reason he loves
toliet paper. He is a fantastic sleeper. He
goes in his "room" around 9 (when the kids head
off the bed) and he wakes around 6-6:30 to go
out. The children just Love him to pieces!
I'm attaching a picture that I hope
you get. I'm not very good with all this
computer stuff. Oh and his picture is hanging up
in the Vets office b/c he is just so darn cute!
Thank you for our puppy!!!

let you know that Molly is doing just great! She
has put on almost 2 pounds since I picked her up.
She's really becoming part of our family. She's
healthy, happy and ornery and my whole family just
loves her. My Vet told us she is just beautiful and
he gave her kisses and I've never seen him do that
before and he's been our family Vet for years. I've
attached a few photo's of her and I just wanted to
let you know she's doing really well.
Thanks for a GREAT Puppy!

Joy,
We made it home Saturday and everything is
going very well. We decided to name him "Jack". He
is awesome. He's eating and drinking and loving all
the attention the boys are giving him. He's so
playful. I have made his 1st vet appointment for
today and will keep in touch. I have attached a
couple of pictures for you to see. I will send more
later also.
Thanks so much,
The Schaumburg Family
Joy,
As part of Harry"s (Lex) journey
from puppyhood to being a socially
astute adult, we have tried to provide
opportunities to enhance his
socialization process. He has learned
to enjoy travel in the car, walk
America's bustling sidewalks, meet his
peers and other interesting human
beings, experience the phenomenon of
snow while dealing with the challenge of
ice. He has shown an interest in
interior design by moving our personal
items from place to place throughout our
home. So we will have coordinated with
our contractor to allow Harry the
opportunity to assist is a remodeling
project. Although Harry is looking
forward to hiking in the mountains and
taking swimming lessons next month, his
greatest achievement has been graduating
from the training academy. Harry now
refers to himself as the "Graduate."

Hi Joy,
I thought I'd send
you a quick up-date on how Ripley is doing, He
is fast becoming a hit with everyone whom he
meets. Ripley is sleeping through the nights
with no accidents in his crate and is very
willing to have his day time naps in his crate.
He is almost house train as we have fast learnt
Ripley's Schedule, he is eating well (still on
NUTRO ULTRA Puppy) and loves his treats of baby
carrots and Gala apples cut in small pieces, we
have also got him a Healthy & Natural snack made
by Wellness for puppy's, Made with Lamb, Salmon
and whole fruits and veggies. It contains No
meat by-products, Corn, Wheat, Soy, dairy,
Artificial colors or Flavors. Ripley has been
shopping with Claire and Andrew and loves his
new toys, multiple leash's, collars and food
dishes for in the house and on the deck. I will
update Ripley's photos as he grows. His yard is
1/2 an acre and backs on to green space before
the river which runs behind our home. Joy,
Ripley is very happy in his forever home and we
are very happy with Ripley.

Dear friends and family,
It is with a joyous heart I come to you with
news of my new love. I met her on the internet,
she lived in Missouri. After a long time of
careful thought and prayer I have decided to
commit my life to her. I have in fact sent for
her and have flown her from her home in Missouri
to come here to Montana so we can live out our
lives together in total bliss.
I know you must be wondering about Jeanie!
Well, God bless her soul, she is taking this
very well. She says she understands and that
(here's the amazing part) she is so happy for me
and my new life that she will probably stay with
me. She is such a great gal!
Anyway, enough about her! I have attached some
pictures of my new love, I think after seeing
these you will quickly understand why I have
chosen "Libby" as my new and constant companion.
Sincerely, Tom Gentry from Montana
Dear Ms Joy:
We went by the air terminal around 1:20PM, in
time to see the airline luggage cart arrive with 4
puppies. Three gray crates and your red one.
Five minutes later we had Willie in our arms.
Here is a picture of our Alex with his new
brother, he chose to name him Luigi.
Everything is fine, you may post this picture in
your website and I will send more in the future.
Have a nice weekend.

Wynona is now Sadie and is doing
wonderfully, eating and drinking her water! She
is a welcome member of our family and facebook
friends are commenting on her posted photos.
She checked out at our vet's office--she is the
only wire fox terrier in the practice. She is
playful and so funny and definitely smart.
Attached is a photo of her on her first day
home.

Dear Joy:
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you
know that Bugsy (formerly known as Bling) is doing
great. We named her Bugsy because of her love of
carrots and how she nearly hops when she runs. We
have enjoyed her so much, and she is learning very
quickly all the rules. Loves to go on walks and be
outside, but is perfectly content to play in the sun
room while I do my work on the computer.
Thanks again for everything. She is a true
delight!

Hi Joy,
Today is Rowdy's first birthday. He
didn't quite know what to think of the candle on
his pupcake but he was definitely interested
since there was food involved. Asta and Rowdy
had their traditional dinner this evening, both
got some new toys, and a bag of tennis balls a
piece. They had long walks this morning, played
all afternoon, and had a very special day.
Both are doing very well. They seemed to
get tired of the snow this winter and both love
playing outdoors, they love to run, chase each
other and just have fun. Today was his day (and
hers) and they totally enjoyed being the center
of attention.

Hi
Joy,
just thought I would send you a up date on Chelsie.
Today is her Birthday so we had a little party and I
will send you pictures. Chelsie passed her obedience
class with flying colors and is doing great. She weighs
21 pounds now and is very healthy. Chelsie is very
active inside the house as well as outside and is
waiting for summer to come so we can go camping which
she loves!! Hopefully the pictures will follow this
e-mail.
Thank you Joy once again!
Good Morning, Joy: A short note to let you know Max
had his vet visit and they all loved him. One of
the girls in the office took his pic. He will start
Puppy kindergarten on Thursday. We just love him!

Later....
Good
Afternoon, Joy:
I am sending updated pictures of Max. The last
picture you have is on your website when he had
his first vet visit (still lived in NJ) He will
be a year old on Jan. 31st and is a big boy now
and has brought us much joy. We have finally
retired to our new home in Myrtle Beach, SC and
he really runs like the wind in his fenced
yard. He is one big bundle of energy and loves
our grandchildren and everyone he meets.

Dear Ms. Thomas,
In 1997 (after years of begging my
parents for a dog), my family bought a wire
fox terrier puppy from you. We named him
Bennett and I cannot even begin to tell you
how much he means to my family. Bennett is
14 years old now and besides his eyes and
ears starting to go, he is healthy and
energetic. I have attached some pictures of
him.
Now I am 23, graduating college, and
moving to Kansas City, MO for my job. I
cannot take Bennett with me so I was hoping
to get my own puppies....
Thanks!

Joy,
It's been a little while since we got Lola,
her name is now Bella. She is very active and
playful. She is just understanding how to sit and
lay down. She is about potty trained now. Bella will
go to the door and sit to let us know that she wants
to go out. She lets us brush her teeth as well. She
is very spoiled and loved. We just wanted to let
you know that every is good.
Have attached a photo of Bella.

Maggie has been a wonderful
addition to my family. My four year old grand daughter,
Zoe, just loves her.
Louie, my big tom cat and
Maggie love to play. She loves to be outdoors and has
gone on small walks with me. The crate training is
coming along good.
She is quite a tenaciously
little character; very intelligent and sweet.

Joy,
I just wanted to send you a picture of Della's
first day with us......we renamed her Mico
(pronounced Meeco). She is very bright!
Here are the things she is doing:
She loves
her crate and takes her naps and sleeps
over night in the crate. While she is
napping the door is left open to the
crate...she sometimes just takes a toy
in her crate and plays with it!
She is
tethered to me while she is at home
being house trained, so I can catch any
unwanted behavior. We bought a ugodog
potty Ugodog website
for her and we never taught her to use
it...she just started using it on her
own the first day home with us!
It rains a
lot here in Seattle, so we wanted to
teach Mico how to use a treadmill.
Monday she finally got it!...
She's so
funny, she knows when we are leaving as
she takes her toys and sits in her crate
without being told.....her face is so
cute ....it's hard to ever leave her.
I will stay in touch!
Mico is very happy and so are we! Don't
worry....Mico came home in her crate not the
front seat of my care where I took the picture! Evon Hartmann, Seattle WA
Hi Joy,
I renamed Lovey to Izzie, and she has lived up to
it, she is doing wonderful and is fitting in
perfectly, my 12 yr old is going to lose lots of
weight with all the playing going on!
I have a friend, a surgeon at Penn Vet who my be
interested in Lenny as she flipped over Izzie.
Thanks Sabina
Hi Joy,
Just wanted you to know that we have had Arlo for 6
weeks now and he is doing great! The kids love him and
play with him constantly. Our family is very impressed
on how well behaved he is. I am currently enrolled in a
puppy training class which he is doing very well at.
Arlo every week always plays rough with this labradoodle
and always holds his own. His transition to our home
from yours went well also. We take him out at night
before bed and up in the morning with me before I leave
for work with no accidents so far in his kennel. Overall
our experience has been a great one. We thank you for
all the expertise you gave us and for answering all of
our questions. We will definitely recommend you to
everyone. I've attached a couple of pictures of him....
Thank you,
Dan and Tina Winters

Hi Joy,

Hi Joy!
Bing is very fascinated with
the water!
Here, he is seeing ducks for the first time. He went for
his first boat ride yesterday and loved it! He is
getting more mature, doing very well with his training.
We do our daily walks through town and he keeps up a
good pace!
He is so perfect!
Bing owned by Denise Bonner
Later...
He was neutered 2 weeks ago, doing just fine. He has
beautiful white adult teeth now. A real love
bug...sleeps with me every night...very attached to my
hip! Hope all is well... We just had 2 blizzards back to
back ...3 ft. of snow!
Bing loves the snow!
Thought I would drop a line
and say hi, and let you know how well Trystan is.
She is now 2 and a half and
in fine form. I have enclosed some pics for you and
thank you for providing me with such a great dog. Her
temperament in particular makes her an excellent dog.
Because her temperament is so good you forget she is a
"terrier"
Be well,

Hi Joy,
Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying my
new puppy. Potty training is going great, as far as her
sleeping in her crate at night, I caved in and she has
been sleeping in the bed with me. She wakes me up if she
needs to go out! Here is a pick of her sound asleep on
the couch and one on my bed.

Rowdy's favorite hideout besides his crate is
under the kitchen table bench. He doesn't miss a thing
and likes the coolness of the tiles.
Jerry and Lavina Chambers
Joy:
I know you asked for
pictures of "Riley" and I couldn't remember if I sent them -
Here is a recent photo - He is doing fine - Extremely active
but with lots of personality - Both Kathy and I have
commented that we've never had a puppy who enjoyed his toys
as much as Riley does or is as nosey as he is - He likes his
food "Nutromax" but also Cheese, Grapes, Apples, Peaches,
Tomatoes, most other veggies, Popcorn, Vanilla Yogurt and
when he can beg it, Ice Cream - There haven't been any real
problems and he attended "Puppy School" this summer - I
admit that we thought he would flunk out but he didn't and
walks on his leash, very well - He likes everyone but chases
bees in the yard - Also pulls out the flowers but we're used
to that - Again we are very satisfied and "Riley" appears to
like "Owning" us.

wanted to let you know how our pup, Grace, is doing.
She is growing and is a source of fun and joy to us. I
am attaching a pic of Grace and her "friend" Kitty Boy.
Also a pic of Grace, Myself and my son in his jeep. She
loves to go places (cuz everyone loves her!!). She is
so much fun and interested in EVERY THING we do and
loves to "help" bring in the horses in the evening.
Thanks again for such a great gal!!

As you can see Buster is a true part of our family.
Thanks again!

Hey Joy, how are you? About a year ago
we bought Darwin from you. A wire hair fox
terrier. My daughter named him Caesar. He has
been the greatest addition to our family.
Callie, my daughter, loves to kayak and swim and
Caesar is right there with her. This dog loves
kids and people! I sent a few photos for you.
Again, Thanks!

Hello Joy, I thought maybe you would be interested in an update.
in march, Ella will be 2 years old and she has really
made a mark on our family.
she has a friend George, who is a female cat that showed
up at my door one rainy night and immediately fell for
Ella.....they are the best of friends. they play all
day and all night....the night is a little of a nuisance
but they are happy so that is what counts.
nit-noi is my dog from south Africa...also wire haired
fox terrier. she is 11 years old but you can still see
Ella and her running from one side of the house to the
other....happy.
I thought maybe you would like to see who she is with
and see pictures of what she looks like...
hope you had a nice holiday.
take good care...

I apologize for it
taking me so long to get back to you. I actually just
got back from a lovely trip to Kuwait.
Lego and Charlie Brown continue to do well. They are
finally home in Louisiana and are actually enjoying life
on the bayou. The weather is great and they enjoy their
daily run (thanks to the suggestion from Dr. Bryant).
We had a birthday party last weekend for Charlie Brown
and he got lots of new toys. My boys are still the love
of my life and I couldn't be happier.
I hope you have a great holiday season!!!

Hi Joy,
I
just check your site from time to time
making sure you are still in the business.
I can not begin to express to you how much
joy your pups have given me. We lost Judy
in 2006 and I still miss her terribly but
Wally (14) and Callie (7) keep me laughing.
I'm now a stay at home grandma with five
little ones, the oldest just turned 5 and
the youngest are 5 and 6 months. I'm able
to be here for Wally who has gone deaf and
limited vision. His legs aren't what they
use to be either but he still gets up and
plays and takes care of Callie. I was
worried when I started watching the babies
because of Wally's age but he is very
protective of the kids, loves the babies, he
lays right down next to them on the blanket
and they can grab his hair and he doesn't
mind at all......
I'm going to drop you a couple of photos of
my darlings.

Good morning Joy, just wanted to let you
know how Chelsie is doing. She has had her surgery
(spayed) and recovered very well. Chelsie now weighs
14.5 lbs and is 8 months old, she loves the peas, apples
and of course the yogurt!! Chelsie is enrolled in the
January class for beginners and I really look for her to
pass with flying colors, she loves to be the center of
attention and the class clown but I would not want her
any other way! Chelsie is very protective of Ed and I
and senses when you don’t feel good because she will lay
on your lap until you get up. Chelsie loves to go
camping and meet all the other dogs there and has made a
lot of new friends. Christmas is coming soon and I can’t
wait to see her open her gifts as she has plenty!! Once
again Joy I want to thank you for letting Ed and I have
Chelsie because she has become the center of our lives.

"A-OK" at the vet. won't have to go back now for a
year.
She is a real goof. She loves to eat anything.
Besides regular puppy food, she likes hamburger,
rice, baby food mixed in there. Tomatoes, broccoli,
carrots are all on the begging list as well.
She can sit, lay down, jump, roll over, come, shake
hands, speak(bark), fetch a rope, all for a small
reward of course. She loves to go to the park and
run, loves to meet new people, and ride in the car.

Joy,
Here is a picture of Rae
and Rowdy. He just ran out of gas after a fun encounter
with the sprinkler. He is doing real well, he has lots
of energy, but is fitting in real well. He is doing good
on commands and is learning a lot, he is very vocal and
loves to play, the rougher the better. Asta and him get
along real well, occasionally Rowdy pushes her limits
and she lets him know about it. I mentioned to you
before that Asta loves dill pickles, well, he does too.
Our vet is real impressed with him, and his feisty
little terrier-tude. He is our boy.

I like it at my new home. My new mom and dad
love me so much. I know this because they tell me all
the time. I am liking my new home. I have a sister and
we get along pretty well. I do make her mad sometimes as
I like to play a lot and bite. But overall we like each
other. My new family has named me Quincy. I think I will
like it, when I can remember that is me.
I am eating well, and
I have not had one accident in the house so far. My mom
and dad tell me I must not bite. Not sure what that
means, but Mom says I am smart and will learn.
Mom says she is so thankful to you, for me.
Mom is sending a picture of me because she said I look
so handsome. She said she will e-mail you from time to
time and sends pictures so you too can watch me grow.
I have to go now Joy. I think it is time to
go outside and piddle. After that I may go pick on my
new sister. I miss you but I like it here.
Bye for now Joy. Thank you and I will talk to
you soon.
