WORDS FROM OUR HEARTHSIDE FAMILIES
Here are pictures and notes from some of our puppy owners. We love hearing from you all - keep sending us your pictures and your letters. I don't always get time to put everyone up here, but I try to. :o) Love you all.
Hi Maryann,
I just want to thank you for all of the materials you sent with my beautiful new little buddy, Jackson! He is settling in here in NH very nicely. He arrived yesterday and I already love him so much! He is exactly as I imagined from his picture; I just love his personality! He's a spunky little guy! The team from Wags On Wheels was wonderful. I could tell that he was well cared for on his journey. Rest assured that he will have a loving home for life!
Many thanks, Kara

Hi Mary Ann- We are doing very well. Enzo is just incredible; very smart and taking to house breaking like a champ and such a little love bug. All of our boys have met him and they are just as smitten as Scott and I. He does very well in the car also. Scott and I were just saying today how incredibly lucky we feel.
Hope all is well, Carol

Hi Mary Ann!
I just wanted to give you an update on Teddie. He is doing so well and we love him so much! He is such a lover, always wanting to be right by our side. He’s definitely enjoying the nice weather in California, but also got to play in some snow in New England! He’s gaining weight and getting good reviews from the vet. We get stopped on the street constantly by people admiring his cuteness.
Hope you are doing well! Love, Jill, Kyle and Teddie

Pat and Kelly named their pretty girl - Lyla Grace. She is an adorable black Toy Poodle - she may turn silver. :o) The groomer loves her - they love her - she is very smart - and has been very easy to train. Here are a few pics after she has been groomed. :o) She loves to have her pic taken.
This is a note from our Hearthside Facebook page. I put it here for more to see. :o) - "Sweet Millie Mae...4lbs of cute & bubbly personality! We just adore her!" Millie Mae is one of our Maltipoo puppies. Her mama is Pippin Evangeline.🥰 Mill
Hi Mary Ann,
Thank you so much for the pictures. We have decided to call our little guy Chewie. He is the sweetest little pup ever. We are madly in love with him already. I was wondering if there was a way to register him so that he may breed someday? I know we said we weren't going to do that but I was talking to my sister and she said it's a good idea just in case. Is there a way to get the 3 digit pin that was marked out on the application? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for letting us take this sweetheart home! Sincerely, Bret, Amanda, & Chewie (Sometimes this happens. You can contact me as Bret and Amanda have done. Full registration is extra - but we can change the limited into full - as long we feel comfortable with that decision.) :o) |

Zoey (in front) and Banjo live with Rachel in Alabama.
Here is a nice note from Rachel. "Good morning, Mary Ann, Merry Christmas to you and yours! Zoey is doing so well for me! She weighed 3 lbs last week on the 18th. Best wishes to you! With love, Rachel, Banjo, and Zoey |
This is a video from Jean, in Texas. They got one of Gwen and Herbie's little Toy Poodles. She sent me this on Sunday morning - and they got Sage on Friday afternoon. I'd say she made herself right at home very quickly. :o)
Thank you Jean for sending us your video - we are thankful for wonderful homes for our babies. Dec. 23, 2018 |

Hi Mary Ann! Hope you had an amazing trip! Hope you are caught up on sleep too. I just had to tell you.....this guy was fixed on Tuesday and did so wonderful!! I was so worried about him but the vet said he did fantastic. He is just acting like nothing happened. The vet keeps saying what a great breeder you are. They always want to keep him!! I’m so attached to him and he’s just the best!
Hope everyone is well! Love, The Coopers Oh yes he is loved for sure! Always making us laugh and putting a huge smile on our faces! |
Hi - she's doing very well, fitting right in with us and the other dogs - especially
Sammy, who is almost exactly the same age. She is a remarkable little dog,
cute as can be and very smart. Sammy is eating much better, he weighs 3 lbs. and she is 4 lbs.
The vet says she needs two more series of vaccines as the others were given pretty close together, so she is not leaving the place for awhile, much as we'd like to take them out when we go for coffee etc. Soo, all is well -
I'll be sending the paper you requested back to you as soon as I get it signed and in the mail.
Thanks for everything -
Love and blessings, Maryann

It’s been great. I ended up naming her Rayna instead. I went ahead and changed her microchip to that name also.
She is named ‘Hearthside’s Rayna Leigh’. She’s very smart and is doing great at house training. She has decided she likes to chew on my old reading glasses while we watch TV. This is a picture that I sent my husband while he was at work. She is really small so I pray she will grow bigger. Hope you are doing good and glad you enjoyed your trip! |
Hi Mary ann, It has been awhile since we have been in touch but i thought you would like to hear that Dex is one of the best things to happen to me! He is definitely my best friend along he also loves my girlfriend to pieces. I take him on at least one 2 mile bike ride a day and he cannot get enough of it. I do not know if you have ever been to Twin Lakes dog park in Columbia, Missouri but we take him there at least 4 times a week and he makes new friends everytime. I have trained him to the best of my ability but i believe it might be smart to take him for a few classes. My girlfriend loves Dex so much she plans on getting one within the next couple years. With that said, she really wants a blue merle. Do you breed that type of aussiedoodle? I will attach a few pictures of what she has in mind. Also I thought you would like the pictures of Dex over the last 5 months!!!
"Hi Mary Ann,
Just a quick note on day one. Granted it's only one day, but Echo, by far, has been the "easiest" pup we've had. A real sweetheart, she is already picking up on the "go potty" phrase & will do her job quickly without too much putzing around and, knock on wood, we haven't had any accidents in the house for the 24 hours. Last night she pretty much slept through the night. Was a little restless around 2:30. Let her out, she went right away, and back to sleep with only a few whimpers. When we have things to do, she's content to be in her crate. This morning she had a blast playing with our 8.5 month old 25lb Poodle. They ran and ran, when Kona got a little to rough, Echo scooted under a chair for a moment, then off running again. Following an overnight rain & with the morning dew, Echo came in looking like she just had a bath. We've learned that Kona plays better if she has a toy in her mouth when running with Echo. If they keep this up, I think they'll be best buds. Don't know if Echo was a "grazer" taking her time eating, so far she's "semi interested" in eating - only finishing about 1/2 her recommended serving. Might just be all the change occurring in her life.
I can easily see why you love this little girl.
Thanks, Rick
p.s. The health agreement is signed & I'll try to get it in the mail today."
(Rick and Lori got an Aussiedoodle girl from us - Dora and Barney family - we called her Lizabiff. :o))
DAY 2
"Hi Mary Ann,
We had the snuggle puppy set & ready to go. Each of the last 2 nights she's gone to bed with very little fuss & has crashed after only a few minutes, so we haven't used it yet. After about 5 hours, she stirs a bit, we take her out, she does her business promptly, and back to bed - no problem.
Thursday she was a bit fussy with food. Just took a good night's sleep, yesterday the appetite came back in full force. We did add unsweetened plain yogurt to her mix of food. The yogurt is a staple here for all our pups, we always have 2-3 quarts on hand.
Went to the dog park this morning, it's leash free & fully fenced around the perimeter. We go 1st thing in the morning, park's hours start at 5 am - it's like having your own 20 acre backyard, we're the only ones there. Each dog has a flashtag light on their collar, with their own unique color so if they lag behind I can tell who it is. I have a headlamp that straps on top of my head. It has LED lights and can light up an area around 150-200 feet in front of us. The entire time Echo walked right by my side and once in a while ran after the other dogs chasing a thrown lighted ball. We were out for almost an hour and Echo didn't miss a beat. With the cool nights & heavy dew on the grass the pups come home looking like they just stepped out of a bath. They get dried off, relax a bit, then get breakfast.
I'm still in disbelief that a 13 week old pup sleeps virtually the night through, hasn't had an accident in the house yet - even went to the door last night & cried to go out, she had to poop. I think she even knows her name already & comes when called. She's set to start puppy kindergarden next Thursday, with all she's learned in the couple of days she'll be a star.
Sincerely, Rick"

Hi Mary Ann,
Welcome back home. Got both the tag & certificate along with everything else. I made a copy of the certificate plus the health record for our Vet. Between the 2 documents they have the complete set of records. All went well, she got a clean bill of health, and did not get another rabies shot. Everyone at the clinic fell in love with Echo. Last night we attended our 1st puppy kindergarten class. She's a champ. Even before class, she's been walking on lead without pulling (all 5 pups go at the same time without a fuss), learning to sit on command by both verbal & hand signal, will come when called, and while everyone was working on the sit command in class, I started to teach her "down." She's a bit shy during the socialization time, must be the new dogs - she's comfortable & a "social butterfly" around our little pack of 5. Echo wants to be friends with every one of our other 4 pups.
Echo loves to rough-house & play relentlessly with Kona our 7 month 26 lb Poodle. She doesn't back down and dishes out more than she takes. The two have formed a strong bond in the week Echo's been here. Kona gives Echo more exercise in an hour, chasing after each other outside, than we can give her in a day. When they tire each other out a bit, they've even been known to lay next to each other in one our large pillow bed. Echo is like those old Staples Office Supply ads - she came with an "easy button" By far the easiest dog to raise as a puppy, and we thought that distinction belonged to Kona. We've been blessed with two great pups in a row.
Take care, Rick

Hi Mary Ann!!
We did get her paperwork!! Thank You!! She has a vet appt on Friday morning so I will bring it with me. We are all settling in nicely. She has slept the past two nights until 5am!! I think that's impressive...lol!! She is eating and drinking but I'm not sure what amounts she should be taking in so we are just making it all available to her and letting her decide. It doesn't seem like alot to me but she is so little. She is sleeping in her crate in our bedroom and cries for a couple minutes and then settles down for the night. She has a crate downstairs too and has gone in on her own to take a quick nap a few times. My poor cat is so afraid. She hasn't come near her and has kind of been in hiding. Hopefully she will come around soon. We went to my daughter's college soccer game yesterday and Maisy was like a celebrity!! I can't even count how many people wanted to stop and see her...She is such a lovey and all is well so far...😊

Hello All,
My wife and I recently purchased little Olsen. I wanted to give you a quick update. We are calling the pup Gus instead of Olson, he is growing like a weed and learning new things daily ( some good and some not so good). We are thrilled with our choice and looking forward to many years of fun. I am attaching a picture, he recently found himself in a mirror and is convinced there is another dog here somewhere. Thanks again, Eddy and Joyce |

Hi Mary Ann!! We literally have not been able to leave him alone! None of us can get enough of him! And he absolutely LOVES our kids!! We couldn't be any happier with him! He's done awesome in his kennel! No accidents in there or in the house. He knows what he needs to do when we take him outside. And he is already learning his name. Which is huge since he gets called McKash, Mackie, Mak, and Kash! Many names! Thank you so much for him! He is dearly loved already and i will definitely keep you posted on him! (first day)
Hi Mary Ann! Just wanted to let you know that Kash is doing awesome!! He fits right in here and he is so much fun. He's doing awesome on potty training and goes all night long in his crate with no accidents! He LOVES the kids and is outgoing and sweet! Thanks again. We couldn't be happier! (week later) :o)

Mary Ann: Just was thinking about how i need to give you an update on sweet dave! He is doing so well and growing and learning to sit and shake and all sorts of things! I could not imagine life without this perfect face! Him and Rumson are best friends and cant quit playing and wrestling! Katie and Dave
We have had Sparky for 6 months now. He is still an ornery little puppy but he is also the sweetest dog ever. He makes me laugh every day with his goofy personality.
Penny, one of our apricot Maltipoos - now lives in NY with Corinne and her family - she is definitely going to be a happy girl. :o) - Thanks so much Corinne, for sending these pictures.
"She's doing so great! Already went potty outside - no 1 and 2. Now she's taking a nap on my chest :)" This was day one. ~~~ Then off to visit with family. "Here's a video of Audrey playing with her uncle and her cousin ! She's doing so wonderfully and loves everyone !! :) we love her so much !" It went sideways - but you can see how much fun Audrey is having in her new home. Thank you Jacqueline for sharing. :o)
6/21/17 - Hi Mary Anne! I hope you guys are well. Wanted to send you some recent photos of Audrey! She's such a happy and fun loving girl. LOVES the water and swimming, and loves people .

Hi Mary Ann, Here are a few recent pics of Bear (formerly Bounty)...can't believe he's 5 months old! It's hard to get good pics of him because he's always moving :) He's such a sweetheart and very loving, also goofy and playful. He's so much fun and we love him dearly! Thanks so much for all you do. Kristin
Hi Mary Ann! How crazy. I actually was just thinking about you today and realizing that I should send you an update! Nubble is great. She learned sit, down, and paw. Each trick only took about 5 minutes. It's absolutely crazy how smart she is. She is definitely a ball of energy and can be sassy but she is also the cutest darn thing. She sleeps with me at night now above my head on my pillow. She is beautiful. She has energy galore, so long walks and park time will be consistent for us. She is stunning. Her right eye has remained blue but has developed some green in the top right corner, while the left one has turned completely green. Thank you for her! Here is a picture and a video!

Hi Maryann, we r in for time off and Willbe got a haircut this time. He is doing great and has won both our hearts over! He's completely potty trained. Does great with just playing with his toys and has never chewed on anything(plants,wires ,etc)! Have not had to move or put anything out of reach! We do have to keep on leash as he's pretty headstrong about not coming if he's not ready!lol. So we do keep a harness on him when outside in yard! He keeps us laughing with his way he has of talking to us ! He still hates baths though! Had him in to vet last wed to get his dew claw removed and so far he has not pulled stitches out! He's 7lbs but no fat :) they just love him at his vet! Hope this finds u and family doing great. <3 Susan

Kona is first gen. Aussiedoodle - now at home with Kelly. "Hi Mary Ann- Kona is doing great. She is starting to settle in and becoming very full of herself. :). Everyone just loves her. She is such a sweet puppy. Zoey (my mom's golden doodle) just loves her as well. They play very well together. Attached are a couple of pictures. Kelly and Jamie |
Missy is an F1B Toy Aussiedoodle. She is only about 6 pounds - but less than a year old here - she will not be a big girl. Her parents are Xenia and Tyndale. She gets along great with her 105 # Doberman friend. |
Here are a couple of our apricot Maltipoos. They got to go to the beach with David and Mina - lots of fun!!
Liberty lives up in NE with Deb. Deb wrote me a hilarious note about her first year with Liberty. The whole family loves her to pieces. :o)

Hi Maryann! I've been so busy these past few days! My parents are absolutely IN LOVE with Adina!!! They cried! They're just loving their new baby and spoiling her. She's doing great with potty training and you can tell she's super smart.
Rallie and her are already best friends and play all the time :) It's so cute!
Here are just a picture and a movie of them playing that I have on my phone but I promise I'll send more:) take care!

Hi Mary Ann,
I wanted to send you a new photo of Callie at 5 months! She is very happy and knows our routine and we are head over heels in love with her:).

Happy Labor Day and again thank you for this bundle who is so easy to love:) Be safe, fondly, Sue

Hi Maryann!
It's been a while since I've last spoken to you. I've been looking for a puppy for my parents. They absolutely love Rallie, I believe she came from your second litter of aussiedoodles from Freedom and Coral. Since they loved Rallie so much I know they'll love an Aussiedoodle of their own. I've been watching your newest litter of aussiedoodles and I'm really interested in bringing home miss Baker, the black tan girl. Is she still available? I also wanted to give you an update on Rallie! She's about a year and a half now. She's around 25 pounds. She's extremely smart! We love her so much, she's our baby. Here's some current pictures for you to see as well:) I still think her colors are gorgeous:) The care and love you gave her before she came home to us has really played a fundamental role on the type of dog she turned out to be that is why I'd love to bring home Miss Baker. We're still in Utah. Please let me know if she's still available. Thank you! -Rylee |

Hi Maryann, Melissa Here, Marley's mom. I have a friend who is looking for an Aussiedoodle, and would like to know if you have any litters coming up. We did look at the website and saw the Toys. He saw a blond one in the top right pic hiding in the back, but we didn't see a picture of him/her solo. My friend Patrick wants a boy, and he also really likes the merles. Either Marley size or a toy.
By the way, Marley is an absolute joy and we just love her to death. We did her spay and that went well too. She weighs 20 lbs now at 6 months old. People ask me all the time where I got her and I always give your name. :) |

The slide show to the left is of Takoda - one of our Toy Aussiedoodle puppies from Ivy and Desi. He is doing well here in Mo - with Mark and Barb. :o)
This note came from Barb this morning, "Hello, I just had to share this with you. We recently had to go to Denver for our grandsons 1 year old birthday. Our house sitter (Brian Alich) posted this photo on Facebook with the question, "where do you keep your meat cleaver?" Lol, He's up to 6.5 pounds and doing great!" |

"Sal, just shy of 16 weeks...This video shows sit, down, stand, rollover, and fetch. We are also working on stay, take it, and off among several other things. He has become a much better walker over the past few weeks due partly to treats and also the use of a Gentle Leader Head Halter. When we hike on trails, he is a perfect walker...he even makes sure that we all stay together! Since his third day at our house, he has rung the potty bell and has had a total of only 3 accidents. He does not enjoy being brushed/combed/bathed/teeth touched but somehow we manage with treats. Overall, he is a smart, sweet puppy."
This is from Heidi in Ohio. :o) "My oldest son loves Marshall. And Marshall loves him. Thanks again." You see why we love what we do? :o)

" We love this dog! Traci" Traci lives in Iowa, and we sent JoJo to her. She is very happy, and so is JoJo. :o)
We love our Berry! He's doing great! He's so calm but when we took him outside he was chasing us around and playing! We got the papers from the bottom too. Thank you much! We will keep you posted!
"The kids are in love with Flash! I've attached an image of my daughter and him." I think Mayli is an amazing photographer.
This is Piper at 10 weeks! She loves the outdoors. It looks like she has brown eyeliner on both eyes. Her brown coloring is really popping! Roxie
Mary Ann and family,
Our sweet Dolce' is already a Mirabella! We picked her up just Saturday from the Nashville Airport and immediately fell in love! Coincidentally we had already set up for family pictures after our sons proms the same weekend, so we have a great family picture with our new "daughter"! Dolce's intelligent factor is unmatched. We are crate training her and she is excelling beyond all expectations! Thank you for handling her and getting her acquainted to sights and sounds, she isn't scared of anything. She loves everyone and doesn't mind being held.
Dolce' made lots of friends on her flight home. Passengers marveled at her so much that when I arrived to pick her up, it was passengers that told me where to find my exquisite puppy.
We will send you updates as she grows from a delightful girl to a beautiful young lady.
All of our best! The Mirabella's

Jo is doing great! Man she is smart. My schnauzer is smart, but Josie is a whole other level of smart. She is fearless too. She gets to playing with Jemma and gives as good as she gets. She also let my big, outdoor neutered tom barn cat know she was not scared of him!
She has had a couple of accidents in the house. I have caught her each time and I think, as young as she is, she gets it. She is now letting me know when she needs to go out. She was super whiney when she first came. Which I understand. If I left the room, she panicked and screamed. But it was all new to her. She has calmed down considerably.
Jemma fetches a ball I throw. I never taught her to do this, she just picked it up. Josie is now running after the same ball and Jemma, sweetheart that she is, sometimes lets her get there first. Jo picks up the ball and and prances around with it in her mouth. Question. I was a groomer and dealt with tear stains. But you are breeder and have shown. Any tricks that you know?
If you ever need a reference, send them to me. I will be happy to tell them how great she is.
Love her! Traci

Hello Mary Ann,
Happy Holidays to you! I hope you and family are doing well, and that all your pups are, as well.
I just wanted to let you know that my puppy Lily is a very loved new member of our family. During the 9 months that she’s been with us, she has brought so much joy to our home. I’m sending along some pictures to show you just how much she has changed. She has a lot of the ash coloring, especially on her legs and face — really beautiful! She weighs about 27 lbs., and she’s so smart. I’ve worked with a trainer, and she can sit, lay down “dance” for treats, and she takes long walks with me everyday. I’m hoping to get her involved in agility training next year. She loves people and being with other dogs. What a great companion! It’s so funny, I guess it’s the herding instinct — she likes to have everyone in the same room all the time. My son Blake stays with me on the weekends and if he’s in the basement, she just lays down right by the stairs so she can see both of us.
Anyway, I hope you can tell how pleased I am to have Lily in my life. I’ve referred Hearthside Country to several people in the past few months, because everyone wants to know where I got my dog. Thank you for taking such good care of her as a tiny baby and getting her ready for me.
All the best to you,
Carol A Moreland

Dear Mary Ann,
I just have to tell you how amazing Hazel is and what joy she has added to our lives! She has settled in and we all feel like we have always known her! Not only is she exquisitely beautiful but she is funny affectionate and has an amazing personality! Our older dog Max had some adjustments to make but now they are playing so much that he lost a pound and a half since she came! He is a little overweight!
If you have any pictures or videos of her when she was firstborn we would really appreciate it! We can't believe how fortunate we were to find you and Hazel!!!!
With love and gratitude,
Celeste 12/7/2015

Just wanted to let you know all is well and Tucker is loving his new home. He such a wonderful dog! Still learning the potty outside but he's catching on! We keep pretty busy and he loves going to my parents to play with the other family dogs.
Hi, Mary Ann. I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are. We are doing well and I wanted to send you a picture of Sweet Pea's puppy class graduation from a couple weeks ago. She did really well every week -- very calm and observant when all the other puppies were crazy. Lol! We hope to start a second class in November.
Last week she weighed in at 7.2 lbs when we took her in for her rabies and distemper shots, so she's still a little girl -- but sweet and a stinker. She's almost house broken, gives lots and lots of kisses and loves to play with True. In fact, they have the best time together and make us laugh at the funny things they do. Monkey see monkey do is probably the best description. Now that fall is in full swing, she loves to pick up a leaf and carry it in her mouth for walks. It will be interesting to see if she likes winter as much as fall, since she's a southern girl.
We love her very much and are so grateful to you for letting us get her when we did. Lillie loves having her sleep with her and snuggle next to her on the couch when she's reading or doing homework. Thank you so much. I have been and will continue to pray for you and your family.
Blessings!
Amy

Hi Mary Ann, I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you that Lars is doing well. He is playful and loves the kids. He is eating and is up to 2 lbs 9 oz. The vet said that as long as he continues to gain weight it is fine. We had to have a play date with Simba this weekend. That was really fun. Isabelle
"Hi Maryann, Can't see it that great but one of her eyes is mostly brown with some blue specks in it and the other is mostly blue with brown specks in it. She's a cutie:)"
Mary, Thanks for checking in. We absolutely love this girl as her personality is just so wonderful, she loves everyone and every dog she meets. He eyes have turned out to be about 1/8th blue….small spots of blue on each iris. We were hoping for all blue as our other aussiedoodle but her personality far out weighs the eye colour. Great job on the breeeding process.
Cheers!
Cheers!

Hi Mary Ann!
I've been meaning to email you to let you know how Simba is doing. Right now, he is running around our backyard burning off some energy before we go to bed. He really loves to chew leaves, it's pretty cute.
The family loves him! He is a little ball of energy and loves to be held and petted. He's definitely teething so we try to give him toys and rawhide to chew. He's up to date in his vaccinations, eating well, and overall happy. When we take him out, he's always receives compliments on how cute he is and people ask what type of dog he is. He is quite the popular little boy!
I've attached a picture of him with our older daughter from last week.
Hope you and the family are doing well.

Our deepest thanks to you again -- what a wonderful blessing! We arrived home safely around 9:30 and no extreme fatigue -- thank you for your prayers. I hope you arrived home safely too.
Lillie decided on the way home that she was so sweet that she named her Sweet Pea and we'll call her Sweetie for short. About an hour from KC, we stopped for a potty break and she did a good job. In fact, she did well all the way home.
I took her out at 11 last night and again at 3, and she went both times. She slept quietly through the night and went both pee and poop this morning.
She ate just a little bit this morning and just wants to snuggle or sleep, which seems normal to me as she adjusts to her new life and us.

Hi Mary Ann here is a picture of Clem about 5 days ago in his sailor suit lying on his " claimed" tiger rug he just decided was his. He currently stands 12 inches at top of shoulders and weighed 8.9 lbs. 3 weeks ago at the vet office. I think he's very happy here and we have a lot of fun with him he's got quite a personality. Thank you for such a wonderful dog!!
And I say - thank you David and Barbara - Clem is very happy in his home. :o)

Here is a picture and video that I took this morning. Hope you have a wonderful day it was a pleasure to meet you and your husband."
Hi Mary Ann, September, 2013
Meeker's birthday is in a couple of weeks so I thought it high time I let you know what an absolutely fabulous dog he is. He is so well behaved and connected to all of us. Loves being outside and going to the park and playing with any and all other dogs. And at home he is happy chasing a tennis ball or cuddled up on the couch (he prefers the cushions up on the back of the sofa just like a cat). Everyone who meets him thinks he is just the cutest dog going - even friends who are generally not animal lovers.
We can't thank you enough for breeding just a sweet little boy. By the way he is still only around 6pounds. Very active but not a huge eater. The picture attached is from July with Jackie in Colorado.
All the best. Sarah
