A few of the Comments/References we have received (most recent on top): 

Just a quick note to let you know Scout is the hit of the neighborhood! She has adjusted really well is and is having lot's of fun. We are up
to hiking a mile a day and she is doing most of the walk on a loose leash. Her favorite game is fetch in the backyard! I love, love, love
her! We're headed to the ranch next weekend, that will be lot's of fun for her! Looking forward to see if she likes chasing the goats. I'll try to get a video to send to you. Andrea :)

As for Brenner.....what can I say?  he is so smart, and such a wonderful little guy, has a great sense of humor and brings me immeasureable  joy.  Icould go on all night, but just let me tell you....he has this game where he hides under my bed, and just barely sticks his nose out from under the dust ruffle....and slides back and forth....then comes out of hiding and thinks he is soooooo smart!  You can't help but laugh and smile.   He is wonderful. He has really curbed his barking when he gets excited, and obeys "come" and "sit".  He is just phenomenal, and on top of all of that, he is gorgeous....when he looks into my eyes I just melt!  That is it for now....thanks for everything! and thanks for Brenner! Valerie

Buzz/Ringo is doing great & is the best puppy we have ever had!  He's learning sit, down, & leave it. He's doing good with going to the door to go to the bathroom. We put a bell on the handle for hm to ring when he has to go & he uses it very well!  Hannah, CO

Barbie is doing great.  She went in her crate at 10:00 and slept until 6:02.  She is very good.  She is eating and going potty outside.  A few accidents today.  We have so many bunnies and new things to see she is somewhat distracted when she goes outside. She follows me wherever I go and loves to be loved.  Thank you so much for bringing her down and giving her such a great start.  She is going to be a wonderful companion.  I will keep you posted on her progress.  Thanks!  Laury, CO New update email Aug 2010: I love her she is the best dog ever.  She is so smart and well behaved.  We have completed all the puppy classes at Pet Smart and she was always the smartest and best behaved.  I take her everywhere with me.and get many compliments on how pretty she is and so well behaved.  I am thinking of doing agility training with her this winter. I check out your web site often... I love all your new puppies and have to restrain myself from getting another one.  They are so cute!

Woody is doing great! He is very friendly, doing great with the family. Loves to play and then sleep :-)  Took him to the vet today...clean bill health said looks great. Asked for his breeder, hope okay I gave them your info and they are going to file it for people looking. He is doing so good with the potty training had only two little accidents with not getting poor guy out quick enough, me trying find my shoes he was busy playing with :-).  He has traveled excellent too! We named him Crash. He is really enjoying the big snow banks but hasn't realized he's not as big as he thinks he is. He tries to jump to the top and misses. Its very cute  Thank you so much for an amazing little guy.   Doug, MT

Buzz is doing great!  He is going thru dog door and no accidents. Very playful and attached to Hannah. She named him Ringo short for Durango. Thanks again.  Hannah/Steve, CO

Grover is now Hobbes, and he's the best dog ever. He loves people and other dogs, and his new obsession is catching frisbee. John and Liz, FL

Just to let  know that Lizzy is doing great, we had to go to Denver on Monday and Tuesday and she was just as good as could be. Then we stayed with our kids on Monday night she loved our granddaughter,  She is sooooogood. Thank you Jo & Jim, NE

We are having a blast with Wile and he is ruling the roost so to speak. Talk about a wiggle-but, he crab walks a lot and we get a lot of comments about his “noodle stroll!” He is sitting, will go down, shake, and we are working on roll over. His favorite treats are liver treats that I make for him. He will about stand on his head for them.    Lanna

We're the ones that bought "Porky", the red merle male.  We are loving the puppy's personality.  He is very laid back and listens to us very well.  He already comes when we call, sits and lays down.  He's getting use to being around our cows and looks like he'll be aggressive when we start training him to heel cows.  We sure enjoy him.  Thanks again, Laura, WY

Gina is doing great! She is such a joy to have around and we are so happy to have her in our family. We have not had any problems with her getting accustomed to our home from yours. I think that maybe some of that has to do with our other dog Rooster. She is always laying on him and going wherever he goes. Thank you to you and your husband for taking the time to bring Gina to Cheyenne and meeting us. It was very nice meeting you and your husband, and I hope to do business with you in the future.    Jenar, WY

Coco has been the BEST dog so far that we have EVER owned! She's potty trained, gentle, loving, and playfull. Billy can't wait to meet her! She's virtually potty trained, very affectionate, learned to walk on the leash in 1 day,and great with the kids. she's quiet all night now and just such a joy. Thank you so much for her!  Billy and Rachael Miller, CA

Shelby is sweet. She loves everyone, and swims in the pool. She is very brave especially for her age. I love her personality. She sits, lays and fetches a little too. I think she will be the boss of my older mini as she gets a little bigger. Although shelby and my son are not old enough for 4H this year  the dog abedience/agility leaders are going to let him go to the meetings this year so Shelby will be ready next year. I will let you know how she does and send a picture.   Cassey, WY

Josie is doing GREAT!!  She could not be sweeter or more loved.  In fact, just this morning I was telling Tyler what a great job he did in picking out a pup. She is currently sleeping at my feet.  She is growing like a weed and we are all curious how big she will end up.  Not that it matters, we will love whatever size she is.  She really has been just adorable.   Rhonda, CO

I just wanted to update you on Ocsar. He has grown into a very handsome young man and is such a joy to have around. He is quite a ball of fire butis also one of the most affectionate dogs I have ever owned. He is definitely my little shadow and is by my side wherever I go. I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks, Dawn, MT

She is an amazing dog and we get alot of compliments on how gorgeous she is.  She is such a good dog.  The rare times she does do something wrong she comes and tells on herself by pouting her blue eyes at us.   This is her spot in my car.   Scott, CO

Cooper is doing well.  He is georgeous!  An absolute charmer.  He really is a natural with cattle!  Very willing to work!  Great instincts!!!  He has A LOT of bone.  VERY beautiful.  Excellent movement.  Gayla, WY

Michele - I am a satisfied customer; owner of Bailey, who you called Dixie.  My veterinarian had an inquiry about minis and asked me, so I gave your name and website.  You may be getting a call about your current pups.  Bailey is doing well now, though she had a rough patch of luck.  She tried to follow the cat up on to the kitchen counter, fell, and messed up the growth plate in one knee.  We had it rebuilt at the VCA Specialists north of Loveland on College.  They did an excellent job with pins and wire and she is as good as new except for one bare leg that they had to shave.  Picture attached of Bailey at Halloween.  Bob, CO     REPLY: Thanks Bob for the update. We hope for the best in her recovery!

HI Michele!  Wrangler has us all wrapped around his paw!  He’s so cute, and so good. He’s grown, but actually doesn’t look like he’ll end up very big, which is perfectly fine with me, and now my husband agrees cause he’s so cute right now.  Steve had had a full size one that looked just like Wrangler and originally thought he wanted a bigger size mini.  We’ll be thrilled whatever size he ends up. And I love your website…. Bet you can’t own just one. We’ve already been talking about that!     Krisi

Dakota is doing really well.  I'm still having to fight my mother-in-law over her.  She fell in love with her on the trip home.  She is so beautiful.  Thank you ever so much for raising such a great little girl.   She is such a lover.  Always wants to be in your lap.  She greets you when you come home.  If she goes out to check cattle, she runs in and gives you loving.  She loves being at home, and she loves being with her people.   We changed her name to Sundance.  She really is something else.   Thanks again,   Shawn and Tommi, WY

Hello Michele,
I thought you might be interested to hear from us about our times with Kirby. He looks a lot like his dad, standing at a 15". We have so enjoyed Kirby. He is full of energy (but not too much), and is curious, very smart and is eager to learn. When we went to puppy training classes, the trainer said he could be a champion if we wanted to put in the work. Kirby's favorite things to do include, fetching the frisbee or ball, "nip and run" at the dog park (he likes to see if he can get the other dogs to chase him around), and sleeping.  I hope all is well with you and yours. We really enjoy Kirby Boy.   Regards,  Sean

We absolutely LOVE Pocket(Elliott), whatever imprinting you did, was wonderful.  He is a social well adjusted easy to get along with young man!  Kind of in that teenage stage.. all leg, and his ears have started to come, which I was hoping... He has been fast to catch onto things, real smart.  Lyn, Canada

Michele, I thought you might enjoy the picture of Nick and Pollux (Butch from Blue X Chester). This is a photo from Nick's web site for his sponsors of his pro-bike career. Pollux is quite famous on the mountain bike tour! Diane, CO   My reply: Thanks Diane for the update & the picture, here is a link to Nick's website-go check it out-it's really awesome! http://www.nicksimcik.com/_/About_Me/About_Me.html
