(7/22/10) Hi, Judy, Just a quick note to let you know that my little girl, Darbie is doing wonderful. At 13 weeks she knows sit, down, come, give paw and to look at me when a treat is being held off to the side. It's the "look at me' trick without telling her to. She is very smart. I want to get her into a puppy class, but I think she already knows the stuff they teach. I would like it for the socialization. She loves to play with other dogs. I may start taking her to the beach to teach her to swim. She likes mud puddles...ick! I don't know if they are swimmers. Have you heard of any of your Cavachons to take to water? Have a great day!  Amy Johnson  Wilmette, IL (8/29/10) Judy,  Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for raising such wonderful dogs. We got Abby In April and she is a pure delight. She has to be the most happiest,lovable dog we have ever owned.See graduated from puppy kindergarden and the instructor told me she should take more classes because she is such an intelligent dog. She is a very fast learner. A Goldendoodle named Lloyd from Gleneden was in the class with us. We live on a large farm and Abby loves the other animals except is a little backward when she sees the large dairy cows....Again,Thanks for giving us an adorable companion that makes us laugh and smile everyday. Barb Keefer  Shippensburg, PA (8/12/10) Hi Judy, Lilly just had her 3rd vet appoint. yesterday.  She is fine and now wieghs-10.6.  She is such a good puppy.  She has been away on vacation with me 3 times already this summer. She is very attached to me so we are working on a little more independence.  I will be returning to work in Sept., May put her in day care for a couple of days /wk.  We will see.  Many people have asked me where I got Lilly so I have given your e-mail out- hope that is ok. Sincerely Barbara Batchelder and Lilly   Lynnfield, MA   (8/5/10) Judy...Jasper is doing so beautifully and we adore him.  He has blended into our family without any issues.   Everyone asks about him every time we walk him here at the Greenbrier.  He is so smart and will be starting obedience in Sept.  after he is neutered this month.  We will send photos for the Reunion and I hope you will post pictures of the reunion on your website.  Thanks again for such a wonderful puppy. Sincerely, Ginger and Dan Martin  White Sulphur Springs, WV	(1/1/10) Hi Judy, Happy New Year.  Just wanted to send you a picture and an update on Bailey and his adopted brother Roamin. You may remember that Roamin is the little boy who flew back and forth to Europe as a puppy. He has been a true joy. He and Bailey are great companions. Roamin graduated from Obedience training with honors. He's very smart but still quite skittish.  He loves it here and we love having them both. I have never had such sweet and smart dogs. Everyone who meets them just loves them and their personalities. Here is a photo of them getting ready to go out in the snow 12/2009. Thanks again for such sweet little companions. Virginia & Mike Black  (Bailey & Roamin)  Powatan, Virginia (4/8/10) Hi Judy, I just wanted to update you on our puppy.  We got Winston during the snowstorm this winter.  My daughter, Christina, fell in love with the "little quiet one."  He looked more like a Cavalier and we had just lost our Pebbles, a Cavalier.  Well, Winston really did a bait and switch.  He was quiet and calm....then he got home and WOW he came alive.  He loved our Cavalier Rocky instantly and immediately began running around like a mad man.  Rocky was a little depressed because of Pebbles but soon came alive also.  I've even had to increase Rocky's food because he is so much more active with Winston around.  I frequently find Rocky asleep next to Winston's crate (we refer to it as a condo) instead of his own bed or sofa.  Winston loves the outside and spends much of his time on our porch, usually chewing on a flip flop...Anyway, Winston is a sweet and happy dog and we love him very much.  Linda Sanders  Hamilton, Virginia
(7/23/10) Champ is doing well. In the photos you can see he and his big sister Rory have adjusted. The solo photo is after his first professional grooming. He plays like crazy and then sleeps like a baby. Champ is a great traveler-whether in a car or boat he immediately falls asleep. We drove up to the lake today and he was asleep for all two hours and 45 minutes! He has probably gained about two lbs. The house training is fine as long as we are diligent. Thanks. The Wraase Family  Bethesda, Maryland (8/2/10) Dear Judy,  Sophie has adjusted beautifully to her new home.  Just at the vet for her boosters and up to 4 pounds.  (Was she the smallest in the litter?)  It took our 3 year old English Setter Chance about a week to figure out what she was (he had never seen such a tiny dog), but now they are the best of friends!  Thanks for such a sweet girl......    Lynne Dupont   Wilmington, Delaware   (8/5/10)   Bella and Roxie are doing great! They both had great check ups at the vet a couple of weeks ago. We love them!! They are the sweetest!! Anisa Politz   Baton Rouge, LA (8/25/10)  Judy,   This is a picture of Sophie on her 1st beach trip in July! Sophie was 4 months at the time this was taken. She is absolutely adorable. Sophie is doing great in her puppy kindergarten class and can now sit, down, stay, wait, come, drop it and leave it. She is also potty trained! Thank you sooo much for our wonderful and much loved Sophie! Jimmy, Kristen, and Sophie Webb   Zebulon, NC	(7/25/10)     Hi, Judy -  hope you are doing well...how does all this heat affect your animals, and you?!! I expect it makes things a little more complicated. Well, I couldn't help myself - here are a couple more pics of TJ. You can be proud of him, maybe even me, too!! Hopefully things are developing as they should... Take good care, Evelyn Holst   Alexandria, Virginia   (6/15/10)   Hi, Judy, Just a quick update on the situation here at Casa Luna. Caper has proven to be the best big sister a puppy could have. For one still so young herself, she shows an amazing tolerance for Moxie. She's quick to share her stuff and will even let the little squirt ocassionally "win" in the games they've invented. Moxie, of course, is as cute as she can be. She evokes such a joyous response from everyone --- especially us --- with her little smile and jaunty gait. And she more than lives up to her name. The house-training is inching along, but the frustrations are due more to our failure than hers. I have to remind myself that Moxie was quite a bit younger than Caper was when she joined our family, and I'm sure we've forgotten that our perfect little nearly-17-month-old girl didn't exactly hit the floor fully house-broken. (She hit the floor with something, but I won't go there.) Anyway, we're as happy as we can be with our girls, and they're thriving. Thank you so much.    Gene & Peggi  Moon   Richmond, VA  (5/13/10)  Dear Judy,   Jasper is doing beautifully.   He sleeps in his crate in our bedroom from 8:30 pm until 5:30 or 6:00 am (without making a sound).   He has never had an accident in his crate. When he whines in the morning a I take him outside and he does his business within about 3 minutes and then I fix him breakfast in our laundry room which is gated, commercial carpeted and has his toys.  At 7:30 am I take him back outside and play with him and then at 8 am I place his crate (without the door on it) in the laundry room and he drags his blanket out and sleeps on the floor in front of the crate.  At 9:30 or 10:00 Jasper follows Skyler and I on the golf course cart path for about a 1 mile walk.  He follows right beside me and is so remarkable. Everyone who sees him is amazed at how well he behaves.  He sits for a treat and I think he knows his name already.  I have taken him to the veterinarian in Lewisburg, WV and he checked out extremely well....I will send the acknowledgment to you).  Today I took Skyler and Jasper to my favorite groomer in White Sulphur Springs and she bathed him, trimmed his nails and trimmed around his eyes and bottom.  She said he did perfectly and did not seem to mind anything.  We are so pleased with him and I just know he is going to be a joy to have in our family.  Thanks for whatever you did to make him so well adjusted.  I have attached a photo of him in the back yard.  I will keep you posted on his progress.  Sincerely, Ginger Martin  Lexington, KY (7/23/10)  Hi Judy, I just wanted to let you know that we absolutely adore our new puppy, Rocky !!  I know I'm already bias, but I just think he is the most perfect puppy in the world and not only is he cute, but he's got a really good personality.  Our 10 year old daughter is in love with him !!!  You asked me to send a quick email to let you know about the vet visit....we took him to the vet on Tuesday and she agrees with me......he's perfect !!!   Only a minor yeast infection in both ears which she said is common with "floppy ear" type of dogs.  Everyone who has met Rocky is in love with him and asks where we got him, so you may see more people from our neighborhood coming to visit you (our neighbors Tanya and Gary Loyd are coming to see you on Sunday) because he's just so cute, everyone wants one !!!! Thank you again for raising such a perfect puppy....he is dearly loved :) Have a great weekend, Michelle, Jim and Ashley Whitescarver  Oak Hill, VA
