Sophie

2011-12-30T06:30:00.004-06:00

Hi Denise, Greedy..Now called Sophie is doing great..she cracks me up because before the snow came she would go outside. Now she won’t I have to give her a nudge or carry her out. Then when Sophie’s out she comes running right back in. So tomorrow she gets her first pair of boots and coat. She loves to snuggle. As soon as she sees me lay on the couch there she is trying to get up so of course I let her up she climbs on my chest and falls asleep. She stays there until I move her. She’s eating great and has a appointment set to meet her new vet. Today she started her visits to the homes that I operate. She did very well, I was really impressed. I thought she would be scared of the electric wheelchairs but she did awesome. I’ve yet to hear her bark..but I’m sure she will in time. She’s doing well on the leash and staying by my side when off the leash. She’s learned her name and seems to be picking up on the different tones in my voice when I’m working with her. I have contacted a few trainers and when I find the right one she will begin at 12 weeks. I have attached some photos of her. Again Thank You for allowing me to make her part of my home. John

"By the way she has been such a great addition to our family. I love her soooo much. I always look forward to coming home from work to see her. I had no trouble at all house training her. In fact I had looked into some obedience classes when we first brought her home but she minds so well I don't think I will have to! So thanks for raising these beautiful creatures!!"

Letter from Liz.

2011-11-18T05:32:00.003-06:00

Hi Denise,
Just wanted to let you know that Diesel is doing great. I was waiting to write you because I wanted to send you some of the great pictures of Diesel, but unfortunately I am not the most skilled person at downloading pictures and I have a new laptop and can't find my photo disc. Anyway, he is a beautiful pup and healthy. He weighed 70 lbs last week at the vet. He was house trained in less than a week. Silvio did a good job getting up with him every night. He gets along great with Leo, our 4 year old collie. They play hard and then sleep. Diesel has a huge bed but he seems to like curling up on Leo's bed. When he was smaller, I have cute pictures of them laying next to each other on the bed. He's very gentle and friendly to everyone. The whole family loves him and enjoys watching him grow by the minute. He and Leo are equal in size for the moment!
Take care and hope you and your family and the dogs are doing well . Hopefully I will get you some cute pictures soon.

Zoe and her Guinea Fowl

2011-09-24T14:12:00.002-05:00

Hi Denise
Hope all is well with you. Just wanted to update you on Zoe. She is the sweetest dog we have ever had and loves to snuggle. In the beginning our 5 yr old schnoodle Rosie was a crabby older lady who wanted nothing to do with Zoe. Now they play like puppies until they're both exhausted. The potty training was relatively easy and she's doing well in puppy class.
She has some natural herding insticts the guinea fowl as you can see in the photo. She sleeps on our bed and snores until you give her a nudge. We couldn't be happier. She's a gem and everybody absolutely loves her.
Regards
Bill

Fantastic Fiji.

2011-09-20T10:02:00.002-05:00

Hi Denise,
Just wanted to send a recent picture. Fiji was 32 pounds at the vet on Aug.30. She is growing so fast and learning very quickly. She does great at puppy kindergarten and everyone there looks forward to seeing how much she has grown each week. She gets more beautiful every day. Take care.

Hi Denise
The baby is doing great . All the ladies at the vet's office were all doting over her. She's getting along great with our other 2 dogs. Potty training going well. She has the most wonderful personality - laid back. She's doing her best to get Rosie, our schnoodle, the play like a puppy again.
I've attached a photo of what spoiled looks like. Sydney is a great surrogate mother!
Will be in touch

Denise,

I thought you might like to see how Jäger is looking these days. He gets quite a bit of attention from strangers on walks. Everyone thinks he's beautiful (and rightfully so). He certainly has the Euro Dane head and drooly jowls LOL. I've started covering my face when he shakes his head and we just carry a towel everywhere to keep wiping up after his slobber.

We just finished our first puppy training class. He's doing well so far.

Lacey

Lacey is doing great in her new home. She has a great personality. She loves to play, sleep and cuddle. She gets along with our other family dogs. Lacey loves attention and will stop during a walk until the person passing by will pet her. She is almost house broken and is starting to ring the bell on our door when she wants to go out! She is such a sweet heart and is spoiled by us, our family and friends. We will send you more pictures as she gets bigger. Thanks for our new addition to our family!

Hi Denise! I just wanted to let you know that Scarlett did fantastic on her trip home and has done wonderfully with the transition. She is getting tons of love and attention from our family. She and my older dog Maggie are getting along great. We havent introduced the other pets yet. She did so well in her crate last night. We were very surprised. We definitely made the right choice. She has easily won our hearts. Thank you so much!!!

Denise~Your dogs are phenomenal!! Words cannot describe the joy that Sol has brought into our home!! I don't know how we ever managed without him! We've only had him home for about 8 weeks~he is 95% housebroken & training very well~he is GREAT with the kids~zero health issues~growing like a weed~we can't take him out without getting bombarded because he is SUCH a beautiful pup!! We want to thank you for breeding healthy, solid, family raised danes allowing us to have Sol in our family~he has a wondeful disposition & he is truly a blessing~I recommend your pups to EVERYone who sees Sol & says how much they would love to have a dane~& I'm still trying to talk O into a second dane~a female of course~I'll keep ya posted on that!! Thanks for our new baby!!

I see Wish and Sol are having another litter. Anyone who gets a pup from this litter will be forever in love with Danes. Our dog Maya, from their first litter, has the best temperament, and has brought such joy into our home. She is a beautiful girl, with the shiniest black coat! We are constantly getting asked questions about her! And, the way she plays in the yard with our boys is so fun to watch. We no longer watch tv! Maya also knows how to play with her 15 lbs sister, and the two of them have become inseparable! She is a mommy's girl who loves to cuddle at night! Thank you for such a wonderful girl!

2010-04-27T06:12:00.003-05:00

Hi there Denise! Just checking in so you could see how much we're loving our newest family member! Most of these are pretty current, (except for the two from back in the winter.) I believe he's about 27 in. tall at the shoulder now, and somewhere around 65 lbs? Now that I can't lift him anymore, I have to guess based on his last official weigh-in!!! I took him to Puppy Kindergarten class and he was an excellent student...everyone LOVED him there, and he loved them back!! He is now very adept at basic commands...sit, lay down, stay, come, bring it, leave it, and he will jump over an obstacle. His socialization is coming along beautifully~almost goof proof, really! (Certainly want to continue what you and your family started so well, in his upbringing!) I was able to find an online source for dog food, that delivers free w/$75 minimum purchase, so I just order 2 bags at a time. (Pawschoice.com) Anyway he has been on the Eagle Pack Giant Puppy formula since February 1st....and man, is he thriving on it! I'm so completely sold on their formula!!! He's very fluid in his movements~the vet says his hips and joints appear to be just fine...No soreness, or limited range of motion when manipulated. He's so smart and attentive, learns so fast!!! I really want to take him on in obedience, maybe even obstacle courses, just judging from his enthusiasm and eagerness to please...think he's got just the right personality for it. Can't tell you how blessed we feel to have this wonderful dog in our lives....as expected, he is a perfect fit!!
Thank you again for your support, and for providing us with such a physically and emotionally healthy, not to mention beautiful and loveable, new puppy. By the way, his registered name is "Simonsays Mr. Go Big"
Take care! ~Barby L. in Texas

Email from Lisa about her new pup

2010-01-13T11:14:00.004-06:00

Denise, I have to tell you have done a wonderful job in breeding and raising your puppies. I've never met a pup like Bonsai. You know how skeptical I was about choosing a pup online and traveling.... I know I have my "crazy puppy years" to put in but he is such a joy!!!!! My children are best friends with a family of four others their same ages and not only does Bonsai love our kids (and they have cats) but also love them. He is a little overwhelmed by the influx of so many people wanting to meet him and I'm trying to keep him as calm as can be. Everyone in the neighborhhood he has met thinks he is just amazing. He was amazing at the vet not even caring about the other dogs coming in and sizing him up. He was so calm. Everything you said. Our vet also has an enormous parrot in his waiting room that was very quiet then swauked at Bonsai and he could have cared less. He does not like car rides bc I think he associates it with being away from you guys but thank God our vet is just right up the street. I didnt want him to be alone last night so I slept with him in his "made up" bed (Crate was too cold and soiled too late to clean properly, but he got it tonight!). He also amazed me at his sitting and potty training. He went outside all day and only made one mishap. He is so funny too. Thank you thank you for bringing him to us. I know it is all a result of what you do and what you put into breeding and it shows. You are amazing at what you do and we are so happy you brought him to us. We are thrilled and we think he has so much love too!!! Very thankful and grateful! Lisa & Family

We wanted to share a photo of Max so you could see how beautiful he is becoming. He is getting to be a big boy (80 lbs at the moment) per our vet a healthy weight. He has become a perfect addition to our family. We love him so much. He's our gentle giant- relaxed, easy going, barely barks, doesn't lick or jump and - is he awesome to take out in public -everyone loves him and he loves everyone. We see the next liter is possibly due March 14. We are going to keep checking your website. Hopefully we will be able to visit the new puppies soon
