Testimonials

I don’t think there are words brilliant enough to describe what a truly magical week we have had with our new puppy.  She is beautiful, adorable, funny, smart, obedient and super friendly.   But you’ve heard all that before no doubt.  What I would like to say is what a wonderful job you have done as breeders. 

 

When we visited a month ago, we were impressed by the fact that all the dogs wagged their tails furiously at the sight of you, Larry.  This told us immediately that they were all loved, handled with warmth and kindness and well cared for.  Our new puppy Tarli is testament to that.  All the books say to make sure your new puppy is relaxed.  Well, our little girl is completely at ease with humans and so relaxed she is like a bit of spaghetti!  I’m sure her friendliness with humans is the result of loving handling by yourselves as she has no fears or hang-ups about anything.  She knows what to do when we put her outside on the grass and that, too, is because of your putting the pups outside at an early age.   She has met my son’s spoodle and again had no fear.

 

Tarli appears to be a very quick learner and in four days she has learnt the meaning of the word “bed”.  She plays happily by herself with her toys for long periods of time, she can use the doggy door (although she is not yet sure what it’s for), she plays fetch and retrieve with a tennis ball, and, of course, chews everything.  She is very healthy and “full of beans”.  She is eating well with the recipe you provided and sleeps well.  I think she has grown an inch or more since we got her!  Your tip about car travelling by putting her between our feet on the front passenger side, on a mat, proved to be a winner.  We have kept that up and she already knows that when we put her in the car, on the mat, she is to go to sleep and just puts her head down.  No trouble at all.

 

She is just the most beautiful thing to come into our lives for years.   Thank you both for raising such a relaxed and socialised little puppy.   We will keep in touch and let you know how she is going and send a photo for your web page.   If anyone wants a recommendation of your breeding skills, please give them our phone number.  We are delighted to have met you both and would recommend you highly to others.
