Hi Kelly, We're a couple of days late. Friday was 4 weeks with Ziva, so here are some picts. She continues to to be such a beautiful addition to our family. All our other dogs are doing well & taking Ziva in. By the end of the day everyone has their tongues hanging out the side of their mouths and very tired. ( most of the times me too! ) Stay warm ! your friends, Larry & Alison |

2/3/10 Rommel - LJ x Stunner 2009 |
OMG Kelly, He is the BEST DOG EVER. He is so playful but such a cuddle muffin! He's up about 27lbs by now but he loves carrots and ice cubes? I know...he's weird. His coloring is so handsome and he's turning out to look a LOT like his dad and he is so red! Every day we take him to a "dog party" in a big field with two Aussies and a Doberman so he gets plenty of socializing along with exercise. In the morning he gets up and goes to the Dental office where his job is to provide comfort and company to the patients. He is very good at it and he is being very well socialized to many many people. With children he doesn't nip at all. We absolutely love him. If you ask him who he loves he puts his paw up on your knee.....cutest trick ever. AJ |

2/3/10 Ruben - LJ x Stunner 2009 |
Hello Kelly, We took Ruben in for his second round of vaccinations yesterday. He is in great health and is up to 23.2lbs! We are all adjusting well. We excercise, play, and do obedience training everyday. He has also met a lot of new people and dogs and is doing well with the socialization. He has learned (some better than others) to sit, stay, come, shake, and lay down. He knows sit the best; the other dogs taught him that. He is very intelligent. I have to remind myself that he is still a puppy! It seems sometimes like he has skipped straight to adolescence but he is still all pup. I'll send another update and some pictures soon. The phone doesn't do him justice. His colors are really coming out! Have you gotten any updates on his siblings? I am curious about their weight and how they are doing. Have a great day! Kevin & Jane |

Hello
Attached are photos
I took today at 5.5
months. He's still a super pup. We all were assigned a "trick"
to teach
our puppy in our last class to perform in our next class. Ours is spin
and turn. The genius learned it in a day. Now all I have to do is flick
my wrist and he's off spinning. I can't wait to sign up for the
tracking classes they offer in the SpringHe is starting to get that
light colored line down his spine like Tuffi has, pretty neat.
I'm going to the
Bahamas Thursday, and I'm
already having separation anxiety. I've never been away from him
for longer than 12 hours. I told Dustin he has to send me
photos
everyday.
Sorry for all the
pictures. I couldn't
decide on which ones to send. I wish a couple of them didn't come out
blurry, but those action shots are tough :-)
Have a great week
Peggy

| 1/31/10 Ziva - Hummer x Mischa 2009 |
We have successfully completed the "Ziva Diva Dog Deck". We take her several time a week in the Subaru Outback, but I wanted her to have a nice flat platform for the extended cab part of the truck. So after a couple of 2X4s and some plywood and carpet we have a nice deck for her travels. We did have to operationally check it out and ended up at Dairy Queen. The deck is high enough where she can see out the windows, and big enough so she can turn around. I'm thinking she'll end up with a sleeping bag on top of the carpet for some extra cush. Kinda fun |

Hi Kelly, We received Ziva's papers today. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks ! Ziva continues to bless us with her loyal friendship & beauty. Everyday has been great. We look forward to training sessions and she spoils us with her intelligence. Hope you are staying warm & healthy. We look forward to seeing your new puppies on your web site ! Sincerely, Larry & Alison |
| 1/17/10 Arce - LJ x Tuffi 2009 |
Hi Kelly, Arce is doing great. She is a VERY lovable sweet little girlwho steals everything! Every day we have to go out and retrieve her "booty" from the kennel...socks, shoes, pants, shirts, grandkids toys, etc.,etc.,etc...Her 1 ear is up some days and down some days. She snores when she sleeps...and her tail is too long...it drags on the ground! But like I said...she is loveable and an awesome dog! Her and Diesel are so much fun to watch as they learn how to play together...sometimes all around the back yard like race horses and sometimes just the lazy laying around play...They are a MAJOR source of amusement for us!!! Thanks, Paul |

1/8/10 Dante - LJ x Tuffi 2009 |
These were taken within the last two weeks. Little bugger got into his kibble just a few minutes ago while I was out of pocket. I'd say he has a very full belly. New nickname: 3D (Devil Dog Dante). Smile. Honestly, he is a blast and a half. Over the holidays he made his second appearance at a dance competition. Everyone there thought he was just amazing. I keep telling everyone how wonderful his breeder was, how well prepared is was. Everyday he gets more beautiful. Let me know if the pictures don't come through. Connie |

Hello
Well the big boy is 5 months old already. How time
flies when
you're having fun. He is still the sweetest pup ever. Even our new
instructor (who shows her 4 GSD in
obedience) commented on his
sweetness, and said how lucky I was to have him. I'm taking him to the
vet today to throw him on the scale. My guess is he has hit the 50lb
mark. School is going well, and he has really taken a liking to
fetching balls. The poor boy is in teething pain though. Yesterday he
was pathetic, struggled to eat his meals and just slept a lot. This
morning I wet his food with chicken broth and he gobbled it up. I
opened his mouth and saw the size of the molars trying to come through,
now I know why it hurts. It's too bad there isn't anything we
can give
them for the pain besides freezing rags and fruits/vegtables.
Hope the new year is treating you well. Please forward
photos of his littermates if you receive any. I'd love to compare.
have a great week
Peggy and Gunther
