This page will be dedicated to the emails
that I have recieved from my puppy purchasers. Some have become extended family! I feel very lucky to have met so many
wonderful people through the years. I would not be here where I am today without the help and knowledge of Lyle and
Lois Kistner, Jersie Hill Kennels. I treasure our friendship. Lois has put many years of dedication into this breed
and it shows with her continued Champions in the show ring. I really enjoy receiving pictures and updates of my babies!
Thanks to all!

Dear Laura:
We made it home just fine with Maggie. She didn't like to sleep in the
little travel house that we bought her but she does like the compost fence and that
works great. She whined pretty good the first night but since we have
changed her sleeping arrangement to the larger compost fence it has been great. So
far she has been excellent!! The trip home she mostly slept and she sleeps
through the night. Even when we had a big storm last night. Also, the vet
visit went excellent. No worms and she weighed 5.7 pounds. All is great. She
has been excellent!!! She has not messed in the house at all. Does what you
said. She whines and goes to the door and paws at it when she needs to go.
What a great dog. She also comes every time that we call her, fantastic!!
I am forwarding some pictures that Shelley's sister took of her when re got
home with her on Sunday.
We will send you an update later.
Take care.
Mike, Shelley and Maggie

Hi Laura,
I wanted to let you know Chico is doing great! He is sooo cute and very smart. So far
we have taught him to sit, speak and give paw. Sometimes he will let me know he has to go out. I have to say Chico is very
spoiled. And everyone says he looks like a little man.
He has been to the vet, he checked out great. We have an appointment for his shots later today. He gets along great with
my sisters Lab, who visits often, so he has a buddy. He likes to watch tv. Nothing in particular. However, we have the animal
planet on alot.
I don't have many pictures, my camera isstill broke. My sister took a few. He really is a beautiful dog. Love the green
eyes. Thanks so much.

Laura,
Saw the pictures of the new puppies! How absolutely
adorable. I thought you'd be interested in seeing a
new picture of Cliff.
My husband and I are very very impressed with Cliff
and his progress. We took him to an 8 week puppy class
and he learned sooo much. For six months old, he can
sit, lay, give paw, sit stay, down stay and "leave
it". He is so incredibly SMART, sometimes too smart
for his own good.
Anyways...Hope all is well. We're always looking for
someone we know to refer you too!
Thanks,
Teri

Hi Laura, I
have attached a few recent pic's as well as the one's that I took around x-mas,one
when we fist got her . Laney is a bit on the mischievous side. She thinks ALL the toys in the home belong
to her, and her alone! She loves to be groomed, she thinks she is a movie star. She is very playful, GREAT
with the children---never snaps, or growls at them. Laney has a marvelous coat, great
bite, and beautiful big brown eyes. She is truly a wonderful additionto our family! Thank you so much!!

Hi, Laura. I just wanted to let you know that we may need to
change Phoebe's name to Lassie . . .
Late last night she was barking hysterically at the floor vent
in our home office. Now, you probably don't remember this, but before I bought Phoebe, I asked you about the "yappy" level
of cocker spaniels. Just as you said, you do not breed for the "high-strung" trait. Phoebe never barks unless someone unfamiliar
or another animal is in her territory (a perfect warning/guard dog). So, I assumed that she saw an animal through the window,
and I tried to lure her away from that room. She kept going back. When I finally locked her out of that room, I started smelling
an oily, smoky smell. Our sump pump was burning in the crawl space under the office room, and she knew something was wrong
long before we did. Our house was not in danger of catching fire, but now I am pretty sure that if it ever did, Phoebe would
let us know. I'll pay closer attention to her barks in the future, that's for sure! And her Iams food had bacon mixed in this
morning!
Besides that, she has been four years of pure furry joy. She
is patient with kids and will nap with my daughter in what looks like the most uncomfortable positions. She happily wears
doll clothes. She keeps me company on the couch when I am up late grading papers. She chases geese out of my parents' yard
at the lake. She is always up for a game of fetch. She is friendly to people and other dogs. She loves her family and is always
plopped right in the middle of whatever we are doing. And she never piddles in the house. She is, simply, a perfect, beautiful
dog.
Thank you,
Laura Williams

Laura,
I cannot tell you how great things have gone with Tootsie. She is truely as sweet as pie. She is affectionate, trusting,
sleeps great, understands NO, and is learning much about her potty training.
Attached are a few pictures of Tootsie with some of her new friends.

Hi, Laura!
It was so exciting to see email from you! I've been wanting to talk to you
for the longest time, but life has
a way of keeping me busy. I'm sure
you're also very busy with your daughter, job, school and the puppies.
I
would love to see them. I'll have to check out your site.
I mainly wanted to let you know how much I love and enjoy Chip. He's nearly
nine months old now, and he's in
his third training class. He loves
it--something about the hot dogs I use to treat him with, I think. Anyway,
he is a good dog with a really great disposition, beautiful coat, and sweet
face. I am so grateful to you and
your daughter for doing such a nice job
with breeding and raising him until he could come to live with me. He
brings
a lot of joy to my life. Thank you!
I attached a photo of him after he was groomed last month. I hope you're
able to open it.
Have a great day!

Hello laura my daughter and I just took some cute pictures of lexus today and we thought
we would update you of how she's doing. She is so rambunctious, playful and so darn cute. She is getting so big after we gave
her, her first cocker cut at the end of oct. it took forever but it was worth it. My daughter calls her the cookie
monster because every time she is trying to eat a cookie on the couch lexus sit right by her face and tries to snatch
a bite and she has big paws and chubby lips. We have been training her to sit ect. she had the sit down with in
minutes.

Hi Laura: I said I would send pictures. Well, I have one. That's better
than none. I should have more by the end of next week, but Morgan
is doing"GREAT". She weighs a whopping 7lbs now, and is just a
bundle of energy.
We couldn't be re happier. She is one of the smartest dogs I have
ever been around. She has the cutest face. Everybody, and I mean
everybody's, first remark is "look at that face!". Even the vet
said he could take her home.
She has started puppy school and is not a bit intimitaded by the other
"BIG" dogs. Some of them were afraid of her. HAHA. She is the
most precious dog I have ever been around. Keep up the good work.
I have given several people your name and website. I'll send more
pictures later. I am not very good at this, if you reduce the
picture to 173%, it looks better.

And of course Morgan
Hi Laura,
Butters is wonderful! We can't believe how much we love him, and he hasn't
even been here 48 hrs. He has
adjusted so well. He cried so hard that first
night when we crated him and went to bed, that Nick (my son) said "I can't
take
this, u are going to put him in your bed, aren't you".
I said no I will wait and see what happens. Guess what ? Lights
out, me in
bed 5 min. Butters just went to bed! Slept till 3 AM. potty time.
He is so alert, and
my gosh so-so-so playful. Plus he is so smart. It
only takes him one time to learn something new. Toys,( he loves to play
so
much), the areas of the house, his family, his couch! We made the mistake
of putting him on the couch the night
we brought him in while we were
setting up his crate and things. He thinks the couch is his. He will go to
his bed in
the crate, come out, and go to the couch and bark and cry.
We do give him couch time, but when he falls asleep, we put
him in his crate
Today I ignored him over a couch time and he is now sleeping in his bed.
Bottom Line We Love
Him!
I thought he would miss his mom and siblings so much, but he acts like
he loves being the top
dog. He seems so happy.
He had his vet check yesterday morning, passed A-1, also stool sample
clean.
Our vet said she was so glad we had finally moved out of the nursing
home into the nursery! So are we. Three good dogs
we lost to old age. Buddy
our rescue, 3 good years. It's nice to experience puppy life again.
Thanks,
Becky
Laura,
Hello
this is megan, and i just bought one of your little puppies and i love him sooooo much. I have the chubby little black and
tan male. I ended up naming him Bandit. He looks like a little masked bandit. I just wanted to say thank you for this little
bundle of joy, and i will be sending you some pictures and updates on how he is doing. Thank You,
Megan Mammen & Bandit
Hi Laura-
We brought Abby home from
your farm back in the summer of 1991 I believe.....I think I was in about 6th grade. She will be 15 in April.
She is still as cute as ever, and is the sweetest, most loving dog you could ever meet. Has always been healthy and
happy. She is definitely getting older, and we believe she suffered a vestibular attack about a month ago, but she has recovered
well. She has the best disposition of any dog I have ever been around, very gentle and loving and has always been so
calm. She is definitely a family member, and is our Dad's baby. Thank you for introducing her to us! Was
just checking out your website, and I hope to be back to Monticello in the future to pick up a puppy of my own! I will
try and forward you a pic of her soon.
Take care and Happy New Year,
Jennie Durchholz
Laura,
Are any of your chocolates girls? I would love a chocolate girl. Let me know. I bet your daughter is loving
all these puppies. I think that's why Sylvie had such a nice disposition. Anyway just let me know. Take
care.
Sheena
Thanks so much! We love Doodle!!
He is getting soo much bigger and has now lost several of his puppy teeth and always gets a good report from the vet!

Our girls are so spoiled. They
are definitely Phil's and my pride and joy. They know it too!!!! Betsy wiggles her butt all the time. They
are always so HAPPY!!!! When we take them to the Vet to be trimmed, they are always so excited and the people that work
there always tell me how much they enjoy Betsy and Bailey. That they are the two happiest dogs that come in there. That
always makes me feel good and YOU SHOULD too.
Take care and have a great day!

Hi Laura and Shelby,
Here are a couple
of pictures of Tyler, Hershey and Hoss. Hershey and Hoss are the best of buddies. They play together
all day and sleep together for naps! Hershey likes to sleep w/ us at night time!! He is such a fun puppy.
He just can't wait for Hoss to lay down first so he can plan his sneak attack! Thanks again for everything! Kelli
Hi Laura,Just a quick note to say the new puppy is wonderful.
I wanted to give him a name that was different than most, yet wanted to keep Tanner in there since Shelby named him. Since
he came from Seymour I decided to name him Seymour Tanner. Seymour is spoiled rotten already. It is amazing how small this
little creature is but yet how quick he learns. The only thing I worried about by just picking him out by the picture was
that I could not compare him to the others. I wanted to have a puppy with an attitude that really likes to growl, bark, and
just plain thinks that he is all that. Well guess what, I got all that and more. He is so gourgous that I just want to hold
him all day. Needless to say he has different ideas. Chip and him are still working to build their relationship ,just like
two kids. Well guess I'll go just wanted to touch base with you. This Saturday he goes to get his check up and shots.
I'm sill amazed that after about nine years
later I found you to get another puppy. It is great to have someone who cares so much for the animals.Here's my address for the papers, talk to you later:
Pam Hunziker
Hi Laura,
Just a little note to
let you know that Koko is doing fine. She is a
fiesty little thing!! She goes to the vet today for her shots, and
she is doing well with the potty training.
Kaycee was a little ticked off when she realized the puppy was coming
home with us, but she is starting to warm up. She doesnt want to share her toys, though.
Thank you again for
letting us add her to our family, she is adorable!! I will keep you updated on her progress.
Thanks again, Viki
