	Hi Tracy, Here are a few pictures of Ruby taken in the last week. She had her second jab on Friday and a thorough vet check, and was given a clean bill of health! She's really settling in well and is learning more and more each day. She has met 3 other dogs in our extended family, and had a fabulous time playing with them. She's certainly not shy! Hope all's well with you. Best wishes Helen
	Dear Tracy, As Lola is coming up to her first birthday we thought we'd update you on her progress. She soon learnt to not use her teeth in the early days after the really good advice you sent us. Now we can even play rough and tumble with her and she doesn't hurt us at all. She is a lovely nature and is really like another member of the family. She does still have a bit of a naughty streak and loves to chew up brushes of any kind and of course shoes! She needs a long walk every day - she can charge about for a couple of hours and still be ready for more - so we all feel much fitter as a result! She 's great with children, strangers and other dogs. She lies down in a submissive pose - even to the Jack Russell in the pub. We just wish we could have room for another one! Hope all your growing pack are well - attached are some photos. Regards The McLellans
	Hi Tracey, Belle is very well. Very active and into everything!We took her for her injections and the vet said she was very healthy and he could tell she came from good stock. She sat up on the table full of confidence and very boldly. Many of our doggie friends have been complementary and suggested we either work her or show her.I know we will have to keep her busy!! i will keep in touch about her progress. Regards Julie
	Hello Tracy Charlie is doing really really well, such an amazing dog. He is the most affectionate loving dog we could have wished for he is brilliant with all three of the children, particularly around William they are the best of friends. He loves nothing more than a throw of the ball into the sea. I want to thank you again a year on for all the time and patience you showed me as a first time dog owner! We wish we could rewind the year and have it all over again. All the best Lisa, Jon (and Charlie) Thompson
	Hi Tracy Happy New Year to you and your family, Connie is doing very well she is growing so fast I will download some pics off my camera for you soon. She is very settled very mischievous but great fun. Has been to the vets for her 2nd jab and he said she was a credit to the breeder as in such good health. We went out to visit my son today for the first time and she went in the boot of the car not in her carrier (grown out of that)and was so good now fast asleep on the sofa !!! shattered. Her favourite toy was from Father Christmas a pink quacking duck plays with it all the time, Christmas was hectic as had all the family here but she just went in her crate to sleep if she was tired she is so good. Loving every minute with her, thank you. Regards Glynis & a big kiss from Connie x
	Hi Tracy Was sorting some snaps from the weekend and saw this one which I thought you might like. The farmer thought is was fantastic that we had such a bomb proof dog at such an early age! He didnt bat an eye lid. More intrested in playing with his new football! Love to all Claire and Eddie
	Hi there!!! How are you all? What can we say about Rubes? She is just an absolute pleasure and an amazing dog to be the very proud owners of! Ruby is a very gentle and passive dog-she really loves being around people and would do anything for a bit of fuss and attention! She also loves other dogs and has a best friend who lives on our estate-a black lab called Luna! They run around together like loons! Ruby is very submissive with other dogs and spends most of her time rolling round on her back when she meets them! Her recall is very good and her favourite things on walks are chasing her kong and she also has a new summer pastime of swimming in the ponds up by us-it amazes us how she just seems to know how to swim-no armbands or anything! As it was her birthday on the weekend we had a little party for her with presents (she LOVES unwrapping presents)!!! We still can't believe how fast her first year has gone-its like she has always been part of the family-we love her to bits!!! We have attatched some photos to show you what a gorgeous girl Ruby is growing up to be!! Thank you so much again for allowing Ruby to join our family! Love Ruth and Jon xxx
	Hi Tracy and family, We have attached a photo of Caddy who is now 12 months old to keep you updated. Caddy is growing up really well and is such a lovely natured dog. She always wants to play but at the same time loves to learn as long as you have a treat or two with you. We are so pleased with the way she has fitted in well to our home and lifestyle and we have only you and your family to thank for raising her initially that way. With kind regards Jayne, Stuart and Caddy Milward.
	Hi Tracy, Just thought i would email you with a Bailey update. He is 5 months now and doing really well, he is a joy to have a round and so willing to please. We have done puppy and advanced puppy classes and start gundog training next week, his trainers think he is great and apparently he is a testament to how much good breeding makes a difference so a BIG THANK YOU!I'll be sure to give you a bailey up date again soon.Take care Lucy
	Dear Tracy, Just thought I'd update you on Charlie's (Rasheeka Arizona's) progress. As you'll know she's coming up to being a year old at the beginning of July, and over the months has become a very steady, loving and loyal addition to the household. We started her off with puppy obedience classes, at which she excelled, and consistently performed best in the class - much to my embarrassment (and pride!). Since then I've been training her as a gun dog, and she's already very steady at heel and sitting for long periods, happy with simple retrieves (not running in most of the time), retrieves from moving water, and we're starting some directional work with two dummies and some whistle work at the moment. She doesn't bat an eyelid to gunshot, and even retrieved her first pigeon yesterday! I've attached a few photos of her from over the year for you to see, and I promise we'll be in touch in the future.Regards,Chris
	Hi Stuart and Tracy, Thought you might like to hear how Arthur is doing now that he is six months old. We really cant imagine life without him... he has a lovely gentle nature, hardly ever barks and is a star at his training classes. He can sit, wait, stay, lie down, walk nicely to heel off the lead, fetch (although he doesnt always like to give up the toy he has !) and his recall is fantastic. We are sure most of it is in the breeding... he had the best possible start with you. I've attached a couple of photos of him relaxing in the garden with yet another log from the wood pile !! jim and mel xx
	Hi Tracy, Thought you’d like this, Camilla took Monty to the vet today for a check over & worming & he gave him a complete going over and said, quote, ‘he is the best specimen of a Labrador I have ever seen. Good shape, perfect weight, temperament, looks, he has it all. The breeder has very good standards & has chosen well in terms of a good bitch & dog to mate’. How’s that for a compliment & we agree! We get stopped everywhere and asked where we got him from as he is completely different from any other labs we see that are all bit fatter & less handsome. Next up is getting him used to gunshot, I’m taking him shooting to get him used to that but I don’t think there’ll be much of an issue as we’ve just had the biggest thunder & lightning storm I can recall & he sat there looking very unimpressed and even tried to go to sleep at one point so I don’t envisage any issues around guns & fireworks which is good. Anyway, speak soon, cheers, Nick (Essex)
	I thought you might like to see these few photos of Edgar in his new home. He's doing absolutely great - not too many disturbed nights and very few accidents so far. He's having loads of fun with the kids. Will keep you posted of progress. He's proving very popular with our extended families and everyone thinks he's a beauty!! The Dickson Family Hampshire
	Hi Tracy, I just thought we would send you a quick e-mail to update you on how George has been getting along with us. We are absolutey loving having him as part of our family and we are over the moon with how well he is doing. We have now completed 6 weeks of puppy school where I think we learnt a lot more than George did!! But he always came top of the class, eager to do whatever was asked and the trainer thought he was wonderful. We did become known as the teachers pet though!! He seems to pick things up so quickly but has his moments when he pretends he hasn't heard you or that he doesn't know how to sit!! Everyone comments on what a lovely temprement he has. He's always pleased and excited to meet new people but approaches calmly and very rarely jumps up at them. He is becoming a loyal companion and a well loved addition to our family. I have attached two photos of him taken today so you can see how much he has grown and seems to be getting bigger and bigger every week. We would like to thank you again for letting us have George from Lola's litter because we are sure that his great breeding has a lot to do with how great he is getting on. Hope you are well and enjoying raising your new litters. Thanks again Anna, Adam & George Hampshire
	Hi Tracy, Quick update for you, Monty is doing great, growing by the day, fabulous nature, very obedient albeit with a mischievous side to him, loves to play & loves the kids, a really great family dog. Here’s a few small pics for you to see, he has a whole album on Facebook! As they show he is getting big & wherever we go we get stopped in the street by people who say what a good looking & lovely natured dog he is. Will send some more in due course. Hope all is well, speak soon. Regards, Nick (Essex)

Just a quick up date on Mali, who is at the moment enjoying a walk in the snow with Kevin. She has settled down really well and is proving to be the most lovable and cuddly pup ever. I'm sure she's more cat than dog as she loves to be cuddled up somewhere on top of you!!!!

She sits when she is told to and walks really well on her lead and if we take her off she stays really close to our heels, she won't leave our side ......yet! She is proving to be a fab addition to our family - I can't imagine life without her now.

I took along the folder that you gave us to show the vet all his treatments so far and our vet was VERY impressed with everything that you had done and just wishes that there were more breeders out there like you as you obviously care very much about the welfare of your pups, so well done to you and Stuart.

Angus has settled in fine and his training is going great as he just wants to please everyone and be best friends.

regards Maureen.

	A very Happy New Year to you and your family. We thought we would send you a couple of pictures of the Birthday Boy, Bailey. He has had a fantastic first year and has been lapping up the attention today!!! We couldn't be more pleased with the way he had developed. He is such a big boy, but then we knew he would be when we collected him! He has a little naughty streak, but he's also very intelligent. We often see the spitting image of Lilly in him. We are taking him back to the Peak District in a few weeks times. He's a real outdoors dog, so I'm sure he will have a great time. One day, we may well come back for a companion for him - but that's still a few years away yet! Best Wishes, Wendy, Darren and Bailey x
	Just thought you might like to see that arthur is settling in very well. He enjoys his trips to the beach and is growing at an amazing rate! The vet said he thought he was just perfect!! I've attached some pictures for you. Best wishes Mel and Jim. Wales
	We would like to say a big thank you to Tracy and Stuart for allowing us to have Caddy one of Katies litter. She has a lovely nature and is such a beautiful dog. She has brought so much joy into our lives to which we are grateful. Many thanks. Jayne and Stuart. Warwickshire
	Just wanted to say a huge thank you for allowing us to have Ruby-she is the perfect addition to our little family and absolutely love her to bits! Thanks again, Ruth, Jon & Ruby. Wales
	As promised, here are photos of Rocky.He is absolutely fantastic - easily the brightest puppy we've ever had; we adore him. The Smith Family. Southampton
	Peter is a really good boy and very handsome indeed he gets on well with the others (when he isn’t trying to hang off their ears!). We are certainly enjoying him and he is really part of the family now. He is outgoing but calm and I look forward to the future with him Linda & Phillip. East Sussex
	I have to say he is the most loyal friend anyone could ask for even now – a perfect gent and a beautiful dog. The Adams Family. Cheshire
	Hi Tracy, I've attached some pictures of Pippa on her recent adventures. We have been out on lots of walks, she walks very nicely on the lead and has met tractors, sheep, pigs, horses and cows and was very good with all of them. She is completely settled in now and is very confident with everything she encounters. She is an amazing puppy and seems to respond perfectly to eveything I ask her to do. She now knows come, sit, down, and stay,we are working on leave and we are looking forward to starting training classes next week. I hope all the other puppy's are getting on as well as perfect Pippa. Susannah Leamington Spa
	I have settled in at my new home and having so much fun with my new pack. The garden is wonderful and I love playing football with the children and their friends. I am behaving and answering commands (if something else doesn’t attract my attention), but on the whole, I think they are happy that I come when I am called and I sit nicely for my food. I have attached some pics of me in the garden. The strawberry patch is my favourite place at the moment… Love Alfie The Herring Family. Co. Durham
