Just wanted to send you a note about Max. We couldn't be more pleased with how well he is doing. He's 
eating good and he has us very well trained already for his potty trips outside. We got him an x pen to put 
on our patio with cedar chips and he's doing very well doing his business there. There has been very little 
separation anxiety; he behaves like he's been here forever. The first night he proceeded to put his toys, 
one by one, in his crate. We are really happy with how our dogs have received him; mostly our male Jinx. 
I think they will become best buddies. It's great having an active happy puppy in the house again. 
 
Hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!

I see that Summer will have more brothers and sisters.
She has been such a good dog. She is loving, playful and very smart. She also is very well mannered!
 
Here is a photo from last May. She won a blue ribbon at the very first Rally event that she entered. 
When Summer finished the Rally course, the judge simply said "Perfect".
 
Summer's most favorite past times are chasing sticks thrown in the lake (she is a very great swimmer) and chasing a tennis ball in the field. Heaven help the dog that is trying to go after the same ball. Summer will beat them to it every time!
 
Take Care,
-Janette

Hi Grace,
Just thought we would drop you a note to tell you how we are doing.
Belle has been with me for just over 2 years....and great years they have been!
We have both been trained and are about to be certified as a KGC and Therapy Team.
Both of us (that would be Belle and I) couldn't be happier.
We are together almost 24/7 as I am now able to work from home....it's a blessing.
Belle is the best companion I have ever had and we can't thank you enough for putting us together.
As you can see....Belle is a happy hiker, beach gooer, swimmer, and pillow for my grandaughter.
Hope all is well with you and your family.
Happy holidays,
Geoff and Belle

Just thought I would send you an up date on Chad who will turn 9 months this month...wow, how time flies, I remember waiting for his 
arrival and already he has been with me nearly a year...well not till Feb. but he will be a year next month...He is growing into a fine young 
dog with more energy than I can tell you..He learns fast and can win you over with a wink of his eye...I think once I can stop him from his 
puppy bitting we will have it made..oh, I know he is just playing but he needs time out sometimes...He is funny I will tell him I am not a toy 
and he will look at me a run and get a ball and the biting is all over with...but we love and his antics keep us all in laughter....here is picture 
of our grown up puppy...not sure what color he is..sometimes he looks light and other times he looks deep honey colored...hope all is well 
with you and your family...Maggie

Just wanted to let you know how Libby (officially Liberty Star) is doing ... she's growing fast and is smart as a whip. She and Cody 
are getting along fairly well, although he's still not quite sure what to make of her. We thought you might get a kick out of the enclosed 
photo .. as you can see, she walks all over him :D 
 
Thanks again!

Hi my name is Meghan R. My mom and dad surprised me with one of your puppies for Christmas this past year. 
His mom and dad are Glory and Chad. He is really the best dog with the best personality. A day never goes by with out 
him making all of us laugh. He is our little (well not so little any more) comedian. Well, I wanted to send you a picture 
of our handsome boy all grown up. I hope you enjoy.

Hi Grace and Todd,
 I have your male puppy from Glory and Chad. He is doing great. He has the best personality.He has been 
very easy to train (as long as there is food involved).He is loved very much. I just have a question for you. 
Jack has tear stains on both of his eyes ( one more then the other). The vet is just telling me that this happens 
in light colored dogs. When I see pictures of your dogs I don't see that. Do you use something for this?
 I also wanted to know if you could send a picture of Chad and Glory. My daughter has a photo album she is 
making of all stages of Jack's life. I still have the pictures that you sent when he is was with his brothers and 
sisters. She would like to add his parents to the album. 
Thank You,
Patti

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how Bailey is doing, she is growing EVERYDAY, it 
seems like she has grown even more every morning, she has had all her vet visits and is currently up 
to date with all her shots. She absolutely lights up our lives and she makes us laugh everyday. We 
are amazed at how fast she has adjusted and fit right in. She knows her name and some other commands 
such as , sit, stay, treat, (she gets lots of those) come, outside, and if you say leash, she grabs it from the 
hook, we have taken a lot of time with her and it has paid off, she is sooo sweet and loving and she loves 
the weekends when we take her on the trails, we usually let her off the leash as she never leaves our sides 
and always comes when told.
She loves the snow, we took her out last week for a little bit during our snow storm and she had a blast, I 
can't imagine life without her, here are some pictures of her waiting patiently for her dinner with our other 
dog, Sadie, you can see how big she has gotten !!!!! Thanks again, hope all is well with you and your family.

Hi Grace,
 
Just wanted to let you know how much we’re enjoying Java! He’s a wonderful pup – sweet, easy to train, and the right personality fit for our family. He also “smiles” so often, just like Sunshine in her picture. It’s adorable!
 
Thanks again for helping us find the right pup for us. Hope all is well and that you’re not too snowed in.
 
All the best,
Marci
 
 
Hi Grace and Todd,
Gracie is wonderful. We went to the vet today for shots, check up... She is 16 pounds and as happy 
as can be. She is sleeping through the night and working very hard to be house broken! She is so 
affectionate and so happy to welcome everyone to our home. She snuggles in bed with us every 
night before bed. She plays with my sister's Labradoodle every day and they are such good friends. 
We love her so much and she is very happy. I think she used to miss the cold because every time we 
opened the refrigerator or freezer she would sit in front of it and refuse to move!
Thought you'd like to know how your little girl is doing.
Mary

Grace,
Here is our Elly Rose at 1 year old! She just celebrated her 1st
birthday yesterday! She is from Crystal and Chase's litter. We love
her so much. We just can't believe she is already a year old. It
seems like just yesterday we got her. She is still extremely playful
and the sweetest little gal. She LOVES to be around everybody all the
time. Lately every time we leave the house she jumps up on the window
sill to say goodbye. She is a happy and healthy girl here in West
Hartford, CT. Thank you for our Elly.

Brady is a wonderful addition to our family. We got him last year just before Christmas, Santa delivered him in his crate Christmas Eve while we were out with the kids. 
I wanted to let you know that in our family we have four children. At the time we got Brady the oldest was 7 and the other three were 5, 3 and 10 months. I spoke with several breeders who said that a golden puppy should not be in the home with children 
under 5 years old and I was somewhat discouraged and concerned by that. However, we spoke with you and knew that in our family there would not be an issue. We could not be happier with our decision. I only wish sometimes we had done this when 
our oldest son was a baby. Our youngest, Keira, has no fear of Brady and is his best buddy along with the older three kids, Kyle, Hannah and Dylan. I was hesitant to get a puppy because of all the work on top of four young children but he is such a good 
dog. He slept through the night the second night he was here. He potty trained well and although he likes to dig a lot and grab the kids toys, he is very well behaved inside the house and out. I am so attached to him, he’s like my fifth child! 
 
I have attached some pictures of Brady with our family. Thank you so much for making our family complete.

I thought you would be interested in seeing a picture of our Champ, from Daisy and Chase. He has been a great addition to our family. He gives me the best greeting every time 
I come home. He loves to play with all other dogs that he meets and is very friendly with everyone he meets. He has the greatest disposition. He is now 10 months old. He gets 
lots of attention and enjoys it! My three kids and all their friends love him!
Thanks,
Mary

Grace and Todd,
Hi from New Hampshire! As promised, attached please find some pictures of Bailey from Kaylie and Chase’s litter last May (2005). In viewing the newest 
litter news this month on your website, I can’t help but be amazed at how Bailey seems to have inherited the best features of both his mom and dad. Thanks 
so much for our new best friend-he is a joy, extremely smart, well behaved and always playful. We have lost a few sneakers this year, nothing major. It did teach 
the girls a good lesson, pick up your stuff! Everyday has been a new adventure, whether it is jumping in the leaf piles, playing in the snow, running into the frog 
pond, or our latest romp on the beach. He absolutely loves the water, bath time is a treat! Again thanks! 
Stephanie, Todd, Bre-ann and Janine

Grace and Todd-
 
Rob and I just wanted to send all of our thanks for our wonderful baby boy, O'ahu from Angel and Chad's spring litter. We love him so much. You both have made mine 
and my Rob's first puppy and Golden experience unforgettable. It amazes me how great and sweet O'ahu is. He has the best temperment. People are so amazed at how 
he doesn't jump, nip and bark constantly and isn't a maniac like some puppies can be. He is making having a puppy a piece of cake! He has the best temperment of any 
dog I've ever known. He was completely crate trained when we got home. So far we've taught him how to sit, lay down and "gimme me some" which is giving his paw. 
He even slept through his first night home. He now sleeps through the whole night. He comes everywhere with us and loves it! I've had so many people stop us to ask us 
where we got him and that they want one just like him. :) Not to mention that he is the best looking pup. I'm attaching a few pictures from his first days home. Feel free to 
post any of them. We couldn't be happier. We'll keep in touch and send some pics as he grows.
 
Thank you,
Rob and Annie from CT

Hello Grace and family,
 
Our family adopted "Finnley" (meaning - "one with fair hair") late August of 2005. Finn is from the Chase and Rose litter and is absolutely the most amazing dog ever! 
At a little over 8 months Finn is already a "BIG BOY!" He loves the family cat "Eddie" and is inseparable from his best friend, Kelsy, our 6 year old daughter. Finn, the 
proud graduate of puppy kindergarten classes at only a few weeks of age, was the star of his class and is a quick study with everything thrown at him. His cutest trick 
right now is "high-five." Finn wouldn't dream of missing even one of Kelsy's T-ball and soccer games, and the fan's completely adore him. He loves water and has a 
favorite stuffed "duck" that he carries EVERYWHERE!We are interested in seeing and sharing photographs of Finnley's litter mates at this age and were wondering if 
you could post this message and our e-mail address to your testimony page in case other owners were interested. Our e-mail address is: heatherleeanne@aol.com
 
Thank you for the opportunity to have the best dog in the world in our lives!! We have shared a few pictures of finnley "then and now" if you care to post to your 
testimonial page.

Hello Grace,
 About two years ago, my husband and I got the best dog ever from you! We are so happy to have found you and your wonderful dogs. I attached a picture of “Mickey.” 
I hope you enjoy the picture of our very best friend.
 
Thank you so very much. 
Sincerely, Angela

Grace, We just wanted to send you some adorable pictures of Elly Rose Carpenter. These are some of my favorites out of more than 100 photos. We just picked her up from you on Saturday Jan. 7th, 

she is from Crystal's litter. We absolutely ADORE her! She has been enjoying her new home in West Hartford, CT. She went for her first time to the beach today. She loved it! She loves playing in the snow 

and with her toys (especially her tennis ball). She sleeps really well at night. She just warms our hearts. She is winning hearts everywhere she goes. She will fall asleep anywhere. She is our little angel. 

We give her lots of kisses and hugs and she loves to snuggle. We will send more pictures. Thank you, The Carpenter Family
