Koda is Such a Joy!

Posted on December 3, 2018 by Laura McCracken

Update sent via Email 11/13/18 (Kona/River BM)

Hi, Thanks for the email, attached is a photo of Koda and Mischka, he is such a joy to have around the house, he is full of energy, playful, smart, he already knows commands like: sit, stay, come, down, the most important one “no bite”. He is potty trained, he is familiar how to use the dog door.

He has already gone on two small hikes, we are careful in taking him to places out in the country, to the trail less traveled so he is not exposed. The vet encouraged us to take him out but not to take him where there are a lot of dogs on trail till he is 4 months old, his immunity should be built up by then. He eats like a champ, no worries there! He does a happy dance as we are preparing the food.

It pleases us greatly to have purchased Koda from Desert Wind. We would be happy to provide references to anyone who ask.

Thanks again for the email! We really appreciate having found your company on line. I can tell Koda is going to bring us years of enjoyment.

Sincerely
Theresa and John Luce

Bogey is doing awesome!

Posted on December 2, 2018 by Laura McCracken

Update sent via Email 11/19/18 (Shasta/Buckshot YM)

Hi there!

Bogey is doing awesome! He is so smart and easy going, his puppy stage has been a lot of fun so far. He really enjoys going on walks/runs and being on the golf course where he will be working with the crew!

We are amazed at how quickly he picks up on things! He is pretty much potty trained and knows basic commands already, and not to forget that he absolutely loves meeting new people. We have enjoyed our little Bogey-man over the past month and a half and are excited to see him to continue to grow into an awesome family dog!

Thanks for checking in! Here are some photos are of our recent adventures.

Spooky Update!

Jeff and Laura

Everything is going great. Spooky man has lots of positive energy. His pack mates Janey(yellow ) and Honey(chocolate) are still adjusting to the new guy but they are coming around. The cats are taking a little longer. Spooky is very smart and is learning everything we teach him. We couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much for producing such a great puppy. I will send more updates later.

Thanks again
John and Tina

Hi!

Things are going well! Kelsey is learning and growing so much every day. ??

She is a big hit with everyone she meets, and the vet office folks just love her visits (she’s had two visits so far, for her vaccinations).

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:

Sitkoh is doing great

Laura,

Sitkoh is doing great. Sleeping very well and improving on potty outside. We have been taking him to the beach and he jumped in the water with our other lab and is learning to retrieve the tennis ball well. Couldn’t be happier with him!!!

Thanks
Stephen

Orca Update!

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Laura McCracken

Update sent via Email 11/13/18 (Kona/River BF)

Sorry for the delay. Orca is a true joy and our Kona is so sweet (and playful) with her. She’s gaining weight and has already learned “sit” and is working on “down”(lie down) and “look”(focus on human).
