Dear John, Angela and family,

I hope everything is well with your family.  I just wanted to make sure we sent a testimonial for your site if you want to use it that is. J

We adopted the boy puppy from you in November. He is a white “yellow lab”, from Dezzie and Flash’s litter.

John and Angela have helped us find the best thing that has happened to us……’Duke’.  Duke is a yellow lab from a litter of John and Angela’s in September 2007.  They were a big help to us, giving us advice on everything we would need and the best of all always keeping us posted on Duke’s progress (ie: pictures).  Now Duke has settled into his new home with us and has lots of friends and family to play with.  Duke is about 5 months old now, about 40 lbs in weight (yep, I think he’s going to be a big boy) and as cute as ever.  We are currently in puppy classes and we find they really help, he is having fun playing with all the other puppies in the class.  He also loves to play fetch and play outside in the snow.  He even waits beside the bathtub for his bath when he hears the water running, it’s so adorable.  We just wanted to thank John and Angela very much for allowing us to adopt Duke, we can’t imagine our lives without him now. 

Here are a few pictures from earlier, we will send some updated pictures to show you just how big he’s really gotten in another couple of weeks.

Thank you again

Dear John & Angela:

Chase is doing amazing.  She really fits into our home really well.  She's growing like a weed too!! I'm really happy with how intelligent she is.  I already have her marking at about 50% accuracy and she's retrieving at about 75-80 yards.  Her obedience is incredible.  She has a real desire to please and works really hard in our training sessions.  My daughter and I are in the process of joining the Georgian Bay Hunter and Retrievers Club.  She's full of life and is getting along great with our german sheppard.  We are very happy!

Angela & John:

Just an update on our pup we adopted from you.  Zack is growing fast and is full of life.  He is house and crate trained now which was surprisingly easy as he is a very fast learner.  Zack has a wonderful disposition and we are really enjoying him.  For new breeders, we think you have top notch dogs and we will recommend you to anyone wanting a labrador retriever.
We thank you very much.

Hi John, Angela and lovely children,

Just a couple of photos of King Louis.  He is very handsome, a chewer and the most loveable dog ever.  He is so sweet and playful.  He likes to hug, play and oh ya, chew!!!.  Everyone loves him and I believe he is very happy in his new home.  He eats well, and sleeps through the night.  We will be going to puppy school soon.  He seems very trainable. 

Hope you enjoy the photos.
Have a great Canada Day weekend.

Dear: John, Angela and the Gang

I hope you are all doing well! It was a wonderful surprise to have Bear delivered to me on my birthday.  Bear “A.KA.” McCoy is settling in very well.  He is highly intelligent, a true champ and a self-trained puppy.  Bear has taught me a lot of things about himself and I am shocked at how amazingly advanced he his.  I have to sign him up for advanced obedience school.  My whole family loves spending time and taking care of Bear. Bear loves to be with my entire family.  Bear has helped me to become more active in my daily life and it is a joy to have him as part of my family.    I truly thank you for all the expert advise you have given me as it was very helpful in making Bear’s transition into my family. I was very fortunate to have found excellent breeders who have an answer to all my questions and who spent countless hours on the phone with me. We are pleased with the outstanding service you have given us. We appreciate the friendly business relationship we have with your company. We have always been able to rely on your complete, flexible and courteous service. You have always made yourselves available to us at anytime so we know that we can depend on you. We look forward to many more years of your service. We would definitely buy from you again and we are recommending you to everyone who asks us where we adopted Bear. We hope that we could visit you soon.

Please see the attached pictures of Bear.

Dear John & Angela:

Please forward to Jody, new Dad to Charlie, just a nice compliment.  I was on my way into buy a pack of gum today (Tues.) at St.Vincent St. and Livinstone St. a small plaza, in Barrie at around 1:30 PM.  As I went into the store there was a young man sitting on a chair enjoying a slice of Pizza in front of a store.  He had a beautiful black puppy with him. I said to myself, I am going to see and pet the puppy on my way out, I met a first class man named Jody and he introduced me to Charlie.  I just wanted to let you know Jody spoke highly of your organization and I wanted to pass this along to you.  I asked him if the kennel produced puppies like a puppy mill and he replied that this was of great importance to him and upon his research he found all the right answers.  Just wanted to say, great work with the family breed, Charlie was new to his Dad just today but I think they both are the perfect fit for each other.  Charlie is a wonderful tempered and smart boy, very observant and already had signs of a great companion.  Dogs are special to us all "Dog Lovers". I told Jody we have a Irish Water Spaniel, and we believe our "Remey" was a special gift to our family, as his Charlie to him.  All the best to Charlie and his new dad Jody, I know without a shadow of a doubt, Jody and Charlie you win!

All the best, to John and Angela.  Wishing you all the very best on your future endeavors.

Dear John and Angela,
We would like to thank you for making this cherished addition to our family, Sadie is a delight to be with and has a wonderful personality. She has brought so much laughter and joy and so much happiness into our house. We can't thank you guy's enough for that!
If it was not for your help and understanding of what we were looking for in a pup, I know we wouldn't be this happy. You two really have a love for labs and an understanding of the breed. Our purchase through you truly helped us to make the right choice and I am sure there is no way we would be this happy if we had went to a store or somewhere else.
The pedigree and quality of this dog are second to none and you two should really be proud of yourselves for taking the time and patience to make sure that people are truly satisfied with their dog.  Sadie is quite a head turner, and has also made quite an impression with our other dog. The two get along wonderfully. It was too bad we waited till our other dog was 14 to get her a little sister. I know when she leaves us we will not hesitate to come back to get another sister for Sadie.
In closing I would once again like to thank you two for your care and understanding, and helping us to make this choice the right one. Please feel free to share this letter with anyone who may doubt if they are dealing with the right people when looking for a Lab, but I am confident after talking or meeting with you and your dogs that won't be an issue!                           
Yours truly,

The MacLean family Coldwater Ontario - (Nov 7/07)

John, Ange and the kids

Today is x-mas and I wanted to send you an update on Charlie, your early x-mas gift to me and Kash my early x-mas gift to my sister Kate.

Charlie is the best thing to happen to me in a long time.  You know all about my situation in life right now and having him around makes the dark days brighter and the long days better.  He is growing like a weed! He was 56.4 lbs at the vets on Dec 17th, and he isn't even 6 months yet! He clomps around the house like a bull in a china shop with a goofy grin on his face and a loving sparkle in his eyes that makes me smile no matter how my day is going.  He is the smartest dog I have ever owned and I only have to tell him things once and he knows what to do.  He walks without a leash and he always comes when called.  Who says that you can’t expect to much from puppies? Charlie is everything I hoped for and more by far.  Thank you all for such a wonderful gift.  You didn't know me but you supported me during one of my darkest hours and I can't thank you enough.

As for my sisters little boy Kash, you sure can tell he is of the same good stock Charlie is.  He is just as smart and just as loving.  He is only 4 months old now but you would know it only from his size next to Charlie.  He has bright gold eyes that are always looking for the next treat or toy to grab and he has that LAB smile that you know means he is thinking of trouble! (but, in a good way)

Anyway I hope the holidays have been good to you.  My birthday is soon and the "anniversary" of the event...  So I will look forward to seeing you guys in the new year of 2008 and hopefully we can find Charlie a girlfriend! ;)

Take care, stay safe

To the Burton Family:

We can't say enough good things about "Mater", the puppy we got from you.  He is a wonderful addition to our family.  He's great with our six year old twin boys & has really adopted himself to our ten year old Lab "Leo".  Thanks again, and all the best in your future breedings at Mt. St. Louis.

The Dunlop Family of Moonstone, Ontario (Apr/07) 

Hello Darrin:

We would like to thank you for all of your kind words.  You could imagine how surprised we were to hear from a total stranger.  We work very hard to make sure that all of our clients are happy and strive to make them feel comfortable enough to call with any questions they may have.  It's so good to know that we are actually accomplishing our goals while achieving the best qualities of the labrador retriever.

In appreciation,

John & Angela 

Hi John & Angela;
 
Just thought I'd give you an update on Charlie.  He's doing very well (getting smarter by the day!).  Frank & I are so glad he's part of our family, and we couldn't have asked for a better dog! He loves his walks, and playing outside.  He also has a few special toys that he carries around everywhere with him! Charlie has learned a lot of tricks, and he's very obedient (thankfully!). 
He goes to the vet on the 24th for his last shots and then he's all set :) I think he's probably about 25lbs by now... He's growing so quickly!!

I hope you have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Hi John & Angela

Tatum is 5 and a half months old now and has been a real pleasure to have in our lives. She's everything that we expected and has been a great companion.  Tatum is very healthy. We have her on a puppy chow only diet. The vet is very pleased with her. We will be getting her spayed in Feb.

Best Regards and Happy Holidays,
Sandy and Devony, North Bay Ontario
