Dear Jon,

I hope this e-mail address is still good. I was just playing with Poco (your Molly, sold to me in October 2004 when I lived in Columbus, OH), and had the idea to contact you to let you know how wonderful it all turned out. She's my true companion. Such a sweet, gentle, playful, loving girl. Here is a picture of her all grown up - She turned 3 this past July!

Everyone who meets her says she's the prettiest beagle they've ever seen, and immediately adores her. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful friend into my life!

Hi Jon:

Here is Lexus having a ball in the 6-inch snowfall (The Winter Wallop) in Pittsburgh. It was the first snowfall of the season.

Jon --- she turned out to be a wonderful beagle and we give her everything she wants.

Lexus is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Santa Dog on Christmas Day. Although she is only 17 months old, we put up the Big Christmas tree. As soon as Bill took the tree out of the box, Lexus (thinking it was a yew shrub) started to bite the branches. After the tree was decorated, I was in the kitchen and I heard a noise in the livingroom. Lexus whacked 3 ornaments off the bottom of the tree and was playing "kickball" with them using her front paws.

There is no-one like our baby-girl Lexus! We LOVE her! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year, 2010.

John,

Sorry it took us so long. Here are some pictures of Banner. She is a beauty. Sweet as could be, playful, and lovable. We entered her in our town's dog competition in 2008 and 2009. In 2008 she won for the category of cutest puppy and this year she won in the category of most adorable eyes. Over 125 dogs entered. We would love to bring her for a visit one day soon.

Love,

Kelly and Beverly

Hi Jon,

We have been meaning to send you a note earlier but with our puppy -

we don't have much free time!

You have probably heard this too many times to count - but wanted to

let you know the pup we got from you in November is just adorable and

of such high quality.

You called him Ryder - he was the littlest pup of Rainey's litter - we

picked him up from Linda (you were at a dog show). We have gotten so

many compliments on him (from our vet - that said he was in excellent

health and that you had done such a great job on the dew claws, etc.)

(from the dog trainer - we took him to puppy class - she said he was

really a good looking beagle and very smart - even though he slept

through the first three classes - he made up for it later) (from our

neighbors and friends - who clearly would be biased).

We wanted to thank you for caring so much about this breed and in

carrying on the tradition of good quality breeding practices and

offering some fabulous dogs to folks who just want a pet to love!

Your farm in Advance is also quite stunning.

So thanks again for what you do and how you do it! We clearly have

and will refer folks to you. And we may be back for a buddy for our

little guy (who we named Spenser) a few years out - we need to get

through one puppyhood at a time!!!!

Take care.

Just wanted to let you know that we made it home safely. We have renamed Susie and

we now call her Bella. She has settled in quite nicely and has had tons of visitors

and even made a trip to the hospital yesterday to meet my staff. We really are

enjoying her and I wanted to thank you again for everything. She really is a sweet

little pup. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know.

Hi Jon,

We slept with Cody in our room last night. At first, cos of the long

flight he was a little shy and very quiet but as the night progress he

begun to play with Bella my other beagle. He got along pretty well

with my other dogs and I must say he's a licker hahaha. My young boy

loves him instantaneously cos he started licking him in the face.. Thanks again for

giving us a chance to take care of Cody and giving him a good home

here.

God Bless.

Hi Jon!!

I just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with our "Ellie" ( aka Glenda)!!!! She is an amazing puppy! Everyone is admiring her--- she has such an awesome personality. We are thrilled

that she is part of our family. We really appreciate all the care you put into raising your puppies.

I am hoping that we can add a little sister to our family in Spring.

Thanks again! Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Jon,

I clicked on your video of Newman. Our pup that we got from you (now 5 months old) heard your voice and recognized it. He ran around the house trying to find you! He ended up at the computer and just sat there at attention. He clearly remembered your voice after all of this time. It totally blew my mind.

Sheila

Hi Jon,

Just wanted to let you know that we had Bella (aka Susie) spayed today. She is sleeping soundly right now. Thank you again, she has brought us so much happiness. She loves her daily walks in the snow, which is a good thing because we have tons of snow this year. the temperatures have been mild.

Hope all is well with you. Happy New Year!

Hi Jon,

I've been meaning to write you some time. I purchased my beagle from you in

october 2008. She was born July 12, 2008 from Opening Act and Crystal Dawn. I named he Lucy She is the most exceptional beagle. She is sweet, calm, very friendly to people and dogs, amazingly quiet and obedient for a beagle. She is loving and very smart.

She travels with me all over the world. We live in XXXXX, XX and Lucy hikes with me and her dog walker in a pack and is seldom on leash. People stop me all the time to compliment her beauty and temperament. We even had a local dog costume parade and she won second place for cutest dog - losing to a 10 week old puppy. I want to thank you for bringing her into my life. I recommend you often and hope to get another someday.

Jon – Just wanted to be in touch and tell you how pleased with are with our dog, Zoe. She was known to you as “Fancy”, and we bought her from you in Jan 2010. She is about 1 yr, 2mo at this time and she is a great dog – healthy, playful, smart, & obedient. We could not be happier. She has been an excellent pet for my 8 year old son, and has the best temperament. Visitors constantly comment on how beautiful she is, and we always speak of your kennel with high regards. I have attached a few photos so you can see what a pretty dog she has become.

You have some beautiful dogs on your website at the moment. It sure if tempting to get her a playmate!

Thanks again. You have a magic formula for breeding a special dog!
