Our little puppy is doing great.  We named her Wyoming.  Her and Dakota are getting a long great as well.  We took them to the park last weekend and she loved it.  I ended up having to carry her because she was wore out.  She also likes to play tug a war with my son.  They also love to chase eachother.  We just love her, and my big dog Dakota seems to be content now.  Were so happy we got her.  Thank you.  I will email some more pictures as I take them.

Hi Kelly,
 
Thanks for the new pictures.  I will see what is going on with my link and resend it to you.  I was in a bit of a rush the other day when I sent the link and didn't have time to give you a full update. 
 
Klondike is doing GREAT!  2 1/2 weeks ago she was just about 50 pounds.  I am going to take her to be weighed again sometime next week after the Holiday crowd dies down at the kennel.  It seems like she is bigger every day.  I don't want to jinx anything, but it has been about 3 weeks without a mess in the house.  She had been waking me up every morning at exactly 6:20am and she would slowly (in a tired way) stroll down the hall to the back door so she could go pee-pee.  When she was done going potty she would grab a stick and try to bring it back inside, almost as if it were a ritual.   I think it has been four days now since she has woken me up.  I have had to wake her up in the morning to go out, LOL,  I think she wants to sleep in, hahahahaha.  She has lost ALL of her baby teeth and has already gotten her rear molars in (which are the biggest teeth I have ever seen by the way!!!!!!!!) and her Canines are about half way in, top and bottom.  She got to play with her friend Elliot today, a 7 year old Yellow English Lab (who thinks he is a puppy too).  They are just about the same size now. 
 
We are going to start our first class to prepare for Therapy dog work the 1st week of December.  I have been working with her a lot at home and at work when it isn't too busy.  She already knows sit, down, stay, paw, other paw, roll over, and leave it.  I can put a cookie on each of her paws when she is laying down and tell her leave it and even though she talks back and tells me she wants the cookies, she wont take it until I say it is OK.  We have almost mastered leave it with a cookie on her nose.  It is still just a bit too tempting for her about 50% of the time, hahahaha.  She is sooooooooo vocal.  Muggsey and Vixxen are starting to get used to the idea that she talks, especially if we have left her for a little while.  They used to think it was somewhat of a challenge and would growl at her.  She is very submissive with them, but not to a point that I would call her timid, haha.  She always speaks her mind, she just does so belly up.  She is the nosiest girl in the world and has to be a part of everything.  She can be a tyrant one minute and then the laziest dog in the world (kind of like Hummer aka Tank) the next second.  Oh, and she still tries to ride on the center console of our truck.  I always think of how you said Riley always did that.  I also think that she looks a lot like Mr. Riley, especially in the pictures you sent.  I never noticed that he has a snow nose. Klondike's used to be dark black but I think hers may turn out to look like Riley's because I see some pinkish coming through.  I also feel like her ear is never going to come up, but if her Daddy's did, I bet hers will too.  Either way, I still think she is the most beautiful girl in the world!  We have been forming such an incredible bond this past month.  She used to be very anti-social with us at times, only wanting to be with the dog pack, but now she is like my shadow.  She even cuddles from time to time. 
 
I promise to get that link working very soon, and I will get some up to date pics too.  Oh, and I forgot to say that Aspen is beautiful!!!!!  I love her furry head!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kelly,
 
I didn't realize it had been a long time since I sent an update.  I thought I had sent over some snow pictures of her and her brother and sister.  She is as happy as ever and still just as sweet.  She is still going to work with me every day and has really bonded with our cat that lives there.  My clients love that fact that she talks to them when they come in.  I get her to talk on command by saying "Klondike, You got something to say?".  She will then shake her head back and forth a little and let out a tremendous woooo woooo!  It is too cute for words.   Klondike and Muggsey have bonded a lot over the last few weeks.  They lay down together with their faces touching for naps.  I think I have a picture of that too.  I will send it with the snow pictures.  We graduated basic obedience and will be moving on to the "high school" level this month.  Then it is on to therapy dog classes, so that should be a blast. 
 
I know you really care about your dogs and pups that you produce  I hope I never came across in a way where you thought I didn't think that.  That is why I chose Klondike to be my baby.  It was obvious to me that they were spoiled from day one and that you put so much time in to raising these babies.  I will always keep you updated, and if you feel I am taking too long to send an update, please email me and I will send one right away.   After all, you are her Grandma in a way .  I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Kelly,
 
I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful dog. Tug is adjusting quite well to his new home, although he doesn't like to be left alone or crated. He was a scared of Bandit (my Husky) at first but now the two are inseparable.  He is learning the housebreaking routine very quickly and has only had a couple of accidents in the house.  Tug got his first taste of our cat as well, who is still trying to adjust to a nosey puppy in the house.  He is such a joy to have and our neighbors just adore him.  Between Bandit and Tug, I'm pretty sure we've got the neighborhood's favorite dogs!  I took a bunch of pictures over the weekend and I'm going to do my best to remember to upload them to my computer tomorrow.  I'll send a couple to you and the link to my website so you can check up on him. 
 
Thanks again!

Hi Kelly,

I hope to find you well.  Storm is doing very well and such a joy!  He has
his second (since he's been in BC) vet appointment today.  I want to
apologize for not sending any pictures yet.  Both of our parents have
digitial cameras and have taken pictures so we just need to get them sent to
you.  I will make sure I get that done this weekend.  I forgot how busy you
are with a little puppy!  Hats off to you with all of your animals!  Jaron
and I have been exhausted since August 30th but loving every minute of it!

Storm is very friendly, playful and affectionate and does he love water! 
You were right!  When we go walking and there are any puddles (water or mud)
he starts running for them.  As a result we have a few baths.  I say we
because I am usually just as wet as he is by the time we are done!  He is
the splitting image of Tug Boat! - I just looked at the web site again.

We are having so much fun with him and he is a happy little guy.  I am
having so much fun buying toys for him too.  He gets so excited when he
receives a new toy and immediately begins prancing around with it before
playing with his new treasure.  We have some new neighbors who moved in
behind our house and they have two dogs so Storm has been having a lot of
fun with his new friends.  Yesterday I took him to my mom's house and he
tired all three of her dogs out - her dogs are older and do not have the
same stamina as a puppy.  Mind you when he got home he needed a little
snooze too.

Take care for now Kelly.  I just wanted to say hello and give you a little
update re Storm.  I also want to thank you again for giving him to us. He is
my little baby and I just adore him!  I have found it hard to go to work
because I just want to stay home and play with him.  Luckily I have been
fortunate in that I work on call and this year has been a slow start up.  I
must say I am not disappointed when the phone doesn't ring in the morning -
more time with Storm!  Also, I have to tell you that shortly after we got
Storm I realized that one of his white markings on the back of his head
looks a lot like a lightning bolt!  Jaron thought this was great since we
named him Storm - very fitting.

Take care,
Stacy

Hi Kelly
Those pups are adorable. Dakota even though he seems to be going through a terrible teenage stage is still amazing. He likes to try and push me out of the way but he knows mom will only take so much before he's in trouble. Most of the time he's just a big fluffy goof ball. Hard to believe he's 7 months old. I am still awestruck on how he responded when he knew his boy was in trouble they do share a very special bond. I don't mind at all if you share his story, he will always be my hero even though he's still very much a pup he reacted like a big boy when he realized things were not right.  The attached picture I took last Friday, he is well over 80 lbs now but I don't think he knows how big he is. Everyone that sees him remarks on how beautiful his markings and coloring is and he is still doing great remembering his obedience lessons.  He truly is one special dog. Have a great weekend! Cheri

Hil Kelly,
We have attached some photos of TANK for you.  He has Huge feet and a very thick coat.I thought you might be interested to know that I entered a contest in the Mushing Magazine a few months ago and I won!  Part of the deal is a picture of me wearing my Mushing T-shirt in the November/December issue of Mushing Magazine.  The photo is on page 25 and with me in the photo is one of your pups, Tank.  Tank is on the left and Kianah (my 1-1/2 yr old) is on the right.Merry Christmas to you and your family.

malamute named Roy. It is unbelievable how much your Riley looks like him. Mia and Roy are best buds I dont know what theyd do without each other. After having Mia and Roy for almost a year its amazing to me how much a malamute can change your life, I think all dog lovers should have one. Well write soon with more pictures. I have attached a few of Roy and Mias baby pictures. Theres one of Mia after she got done playing in the mud. That girl loves to get dirty.

Sincerely, Karlee

Hey there. I have been watching your canine family grow for some time now, ever since you bred Chloe with Kody from Nature Bounty. It's a shame I can't snag little Denali, she's just a little beauty. We breed to a show standard though, Kokopelli has nice dogs, but they don't always breed the best bloodlines. Don't get me wrong though, Riley is a handsome boy, and rest of the crew are all so gorgeous! I'm guessing that Aspen and Casanova are from Candyrock? Aspen could be a twin to our Cessna. Cute little feminine face. Harley is a GORGEOUS girl. I really believe you could show her, and I would seriously think about giving it a try. Just wanted to stop in a say hello! I love to see folks out there who hold their dogs to such high standards. They all look happy and content, just as they should be. There is nothing better then a goofy sassy malamute in this world! LOVE updated pictures, especially of Harley. I would absolutely consider a pup from her down the road... Take good care!

Good while ago...through Kody's litter...

I've been meaning to send a note to let you know that Kodi is an absolutely wonderful dog. He's so lovable and does such cute
things. Other times he's such a pest since he's still very much a puppy but
we wouldn't trade him for anything. He has a great temperament, loves
everybody. He's so happy to meet other people and dogs (we haven't
had an opportunity to see if he likes cats) that sometimes he's a little
out of control. (He doesn't jump, just crowds around them.) We take
him in the truck with us all the time, get lots of compliments, he's
such a pretty dog. He has a handsome, strong profile, good build.
He's just a sweetheart.

Hi Kelly,

How are you doing? I hope all is well there with you and your family. I took the girls to the vet last friday, and they have grown so much. Bella gained 7 pounds in 3 weeks and is up to 25 pounds. Shelby gained a whoppin 11 pounds and is up to 30 pounds. They both are doing so good. Bella has finally stopped (some what) with her nipping. And has learned to sit while I pet her. Shelby has also been really go as our little lap dog. She really listens and has a very good atitude. They both have learned how to go outside when they want to. It is so cute they both walk over to the patio door and paw at. But we need to get over there quick if they really have to go. They have learned to sit, actually they learned sit about a few weeks ago. We are still waiting for Shelby's ears to stand up.

The girls can't wait till we make a play date with the family. They would really love it. Well I have decided to send out a few pictures of when we first go them. To put up on their wonderful website. I love the site soo much. The background is beautiful and it deffinitly suites their personality. All of the puppy pages look great. Thnak you for doing that for them.

Glenn and I are so thankful that we were able to adopt these beautiful pups. Life would be so dull without them. Thank you.

Have a great night.

Glenn and Janie
