Hey Donna Berg, This is Dr. Vanterpool from Anguilla. I purchased a puppy from you some three years ago. The greatest pup I have ever owned. I am still trying to get some pictures to you via the internet. I have just installed a new computer so Ill try again. His name is Tiki and he is the ultimate protector. I have been keeping abreast of your breeding program and i am sure that ill be Trying to purchase another one soon. Bye . Patrick
Hi Dawna, Sorry it took me so long to let you
know how the babe is doing, I have been having a lot of fun with him! He
went to the vet today, weighs in at 65 #, he was 4 mo. on Monday, what a big
boy he is getting to be, & very smart too!! He is very loving, & cuddly, &
not a bad puppy at all. He has not chewed on anything or really been
naughty at all. He has bones to chew, & lots of toys to play with, now that
his shots are done, we can start walking in public, I live only 1 block from
the park, it should be fun. I am very happy with him, thanks very much, will
send you some pics soon.
Later, Penny

6/15/2005 12:53 PM >>> Dawna, your welcome. He is so active I do not know how to get a picture
where he is standing still. He's got a thing now about jumping up and hitting
me in the head with his nose (I am 6'1"). I need to get him to the vet and
weight him. He is thin as you can see in the photo's but should be right around
150 lbs or better. He was 140 lbs a couple months ago. His conformation is
perfect, from what I can see from the standard. Hates strange dogs though, so
does his girl friend. In fact I think she taught him the bad habit. Going to
put an extension on the electric collar tonight and give him a big surprise when
he lunges at the dogs on our walk tonight. When I pull back on the pinch collar
I think it hurts me more than him. I am 297 lbs (I run and work out all of the
time, oh well) with all of my gear on. So when you see me in pictures put
Campbell in prospective. Cambell needs a bath. Just before he goes to sleep he
puts the top half of his body on me in the dark, and I pet him for several
minutes while we both fall asleep. Kind of cute but he is starting to feel like
carpet with dried syrup in it. Later
Hello!
Just wanted to pop in and let ya know we took
bubba in for his shots yesturday, he weighs 42.1 lbs! He's just growin like
a weed! I've really enjoyed him last week while i was off work. we planted
flowers, and worked and played outside a lot. He's pretty much got his
bearings at home. He's started to 'talk' to us, which is adorable! He does
really well with the chickens, he's very interested in the cat, fortunately
she's very laid back. We just love him!
Thank you again!

Howdy there, missy Dawna. I just had to write
again to tell you how much I love my puppy! He is soooooooooo cute! Still.
He is also already a very definite watch dog. I am amazed at his confidence
at barking at unknown people or noises. He will bark each time at anyone
working on the fence as they go by the house. He will not run up to
strangers, but will step on up to see what they are about. If they try to
pet him, he will back up just enough so he controls his situation. He looks
to see what I am doing all the time I am outside with those "people that
don't live here". He won't even go directly up to the guy he has made
friends with unless he bends down and waits for Justin to acknowledge him
first. When the guy goes to his business again, Justin sees where he goes,
but doesn't attempt to follow. This is so much an improvement over how miss
Abbe was as a puppy. She was very bold and , making herself look tough, but
she would give others the time of day to an extent. This guy, tho', will be
bark first and answer questions later if he deems it necessary.
His sense of humor is developing quite
nicely. He does things all the time that are very funny. He finds joy in
almost everything he does. ........... cool... right now one of the other
guys was trying to pet Justin. He said no way, and I will bark at you and go
see my mommy. I love it. ........ I think he came to see me just to show the
guy that he was not, and will never be interested in him, so buzz off,
buddy. I think that speaks volumes for his temperament. He is the most
stable young man, and has good confidence, plus the ability to think things
out. I wish Abbe had some of his brains, then maybe she wouldn't get
herself in trouble so often! Such a difference between the two dogs. But,
Abbe is good at her job of telling me when something is going on. (
actually, I think she is telling herself, and I just get in her way,
according to her ) She is so stubborn, that I almost admire her for it. We
are two women, both headstrong, and each trying to be the alpha. I win, but
she keeps trying. She has been a good lesson for patience. (that which I
sometimes lose with her stubborn self), but, I would NOT trade her for all
the tea in China. I think we are the funny twosome, she and I.
Mr. Funny Butt is growing in fila leaps
and bounds. I love to put him to bed one size, and see him come out another!
One day he is reaching to get his nose UP to something, now, he can sniff
anything on the table tops and then some. Soon he will be too big for the
crate he's in and going to the adult crate. He will be out of it in the next
1-2 months, I expect. He has still only needed to be let out once earlier
than normal, as he had a bad case of the runs from food switchover. He is
nice and quiet in his bed, and minds his p's and q's very well.
He has found a new place to get all dusty,
now. He goes out back in the evening to the shady side of the house. When he
leaves, he has such a pretty ,shiny coat. Next time I see him, he is to be
called Dusty. There is no other name for him that will fit. It changes his
coat color to almost a solid dust color! Sand in his mouth, tail a waggin',
and joy to the world. He is soooooo happy! I can hardly wait for him to find
water and dirt at the same time. I am so sure he will bask in it's glory,
then come looking for me to show me how messy a puppy can really get! Then,
I shall be called Yucky, because I shall be totally filthed out from his
sweet slobbery love kisses.
I am so glad you mentioned him to me and
that no one else got this fabulous guy. He is just too cutesy cool. His
personality is so perfect for me, and his looks don't hurt, either. I need
to find a vet scale somewhere so I can weigh him. I am curious as to his
weight gain, but the vet here doesn't have one. All I know is, he is
healthy, gaining and looking very good except his big old feet, which turn
out as he walks, or lumbers, along. He should be a very solid boy, I think,
when he gets done growing. That is a long ways off yet, so I shall be
patient while waiting for years to see the end result.
I hope to get some pics of him soon, as I
finally ordered a camera. I really want one of him sleeping in front of the
fan upside down, exposed to the whole world, stretched out in back and
front legs folded to his side > sound asleep, and snoring. He usually has
his toys by his head, and maybe using one for a pillow. If I get some good
ones, I will send a copy to you. I am sure you would love to see how he
progresses. In my mind, he is very important, as he carries the last of
Reba's genetics and true great nature. It makes me sad that she is too old
to breed any more. I know you got some very good pups from her through the
years. I am truly blessed to have the final baby in my home with me, loving
me and being my very best friend for years to come. Again, my thanks for
letting me get this guy. He will truly always be my boy> slobbery face and
all. He is as good as Kodee was, but better, as I got to bond with him
earlier than Kodee. I am off for now, your eyes are probably worn out by
now. Talk soon, Bucky
Hey,
I thought I would let you know how wonderful
of a pet you have given us. She is absolutely the best pet I have ever had.
I consider her more a daughter then a pet. Her name is Athena Callidora and
she weights about 125lbs She is very healthy and thinks she is a lap dog. We
are moving onto 22 acres and I am seriously thinking about getting another
puppy. Im going to have about an acre of it fenced in with 6 foot fencing so
Athena can go outside and play on those beautiful spring and fall days. I
would like to get her a sister so she isn't so lonely in the house while we
are at work. My wife thought about getting a cat but I shied away from that
and told her that we might get another puppy from you , she was thrilled. I
was just wondering if you would have anything around late Jan. or even
Feb... I will send you pictures as soon as I upload my pictures she is
beautiful and my boys love her, thank you so much.
Thanks
Ben, Holly, Corben, Rylan and Athena Campbell
Hello , have been meaning to give you an update on Allie, she
is growing like a bad weed , 5months2 weeks, pushing 70 lb, good looking
dog, getting socialized, doing well, I am going about things a bit different
this time, and have her working as an assistance dog, she is picking up
things such as hammeres, and water bottles ,cell phones, and delivering them
to me, I am pointing to the different things , she is really easy to teach ,
and seems to want to learn.
still a lot of puppy ,I am amazed , at what she has
accomplished.
She goes for the spay job thursday, glad when that is over
I use the treadmill for some of the excess energy, she walks
a couple miles a day and can hold any pace,so she is really good on a leash
for 5 months old, we are enjoying her,
Have a great day
Paul &Cathy
Hello Dawna,
Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful pup! We received him back in
July 05. He is great with our kids and is growing so fast! At 7 months he
was 130 pounds!
I will send you a pic soon.
Shannon
Hi Dawna, She is the best sweet but extremly
protective. She was a pussycat until the day my wifes dog died she turned
like a lightswitch and became very protective it seemed like over night.
Still have not put her in obediance school but she sits and lays down on
command but will probably put her in a couple of classes next month. Thanks
Dawna Jamie
