Hi Alyssa,Just thought I'd send you a photo of Strider. Gotta tell you a story about him. Recently my daughter who along with her husband are dairy farmers was talking to me about one of there registered Jerseys who had gotten so sick that the Vet had given up on her and she was dying. I asked her if I could save her could I have her? She asked her father in law and he said sure if he wants to come and get her so she can die at his place fine. I'm a Naturopathic doctor and therefore do things quite differently from a standard Vet. When we got her home she was so weak that we had to let her sleep in the trailer the first night. In the morning she was not willing to get up and Strider was watching from outside the trailer. We had been trying to get her up for about ten minutes when he jumped in the trailer and started bobbing and weaving in front of her face, kinda gently kniping at her ears until she got so darn mad at him she got up. When we got her into the barn he laid down next to her and didn't want to leave her. His genetic imprinting told him exactly what he was supposed to do in a situation like this. He continued to help us get her up for the next few days until she got stronger. She also had one teet that my daughter said was so damaged that even if she did live it would never give milk again. He licked at that teet until he got it to open up and drain. We used homeopathic's, probiotics, and essential oils to help her get well, but without Strider I don't think she would have made it. Great dog in many other ways as well. We love him dearly! Thanks! Steve Fjerstad

Hi Alyssa,
He is doing fantastic! His name is Strieder (King of Gondor)
and he weighs about 75 to 80 pounds now. We have found him to be extremely
intelligent and easy to train. First command he learned was "nice".
He obeys pretty much immediately when told to do something (pretty good
for a puppy his age!) It's sometimes easy to forget that he's still
just a baby. He's way to big to sit in a lap anymore so we lay down
on the floor next to him to give him the TLC that he needs to become
the dog we want him to be. He has started just recently to become very
territorial which is good. That's why we got him. He loves to play with
my grandkids and even though he doesn't realize how big he is he's quite
carefull of them Carolyn has some pictures that I'll try and have her
e-mail to you. I'd like to have copies of the stuff you have on his
parents if you would be so kind as to send it to me. Thanks so much!

HI there,
She sure is getting big, she's about 80 pounds I'd guess,
last trip to the vet to make sure heart worm preventative
dose was correct she was 70 lb.
I've ordered the special guide dog harness and handle so she
can start her training. She's doing just fabulous.
lots of energy just as a puppyu would have.
She lived for awhile with us in a motel room in Houston,
about a month it seemed as we were handling some business
there. She's well kennel trained, and on cold nights sleeps
with us.
Don't have digital camera, but we plan to send you some
pictures soon.
Regards,
Richard Webb,

I am so glad that you emailed I have wanted to send you some pictures
and give you an update. WE LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!! We named her Sophie and
she is just as great as we hoped she would be. We have a six year old
black lab (Max) and right after we got Sophie we found he had terminal
cancer and would maybe only live a month. We were devistated because
he is a great dog. He loves Sophie and they run and play all day. We
think she is a big reason why he is still with us. She potty trained
right away and we taught her to swim in the waterfall/pond in the back
yard. She is loving the snow. We never have to keep her in the kennel
at night she snuggles up with us and max on the bed and it is great.
She is a lover! :) I am at work right now, but when I get home this
weekend I will email you some pictures of her as she was growing. I
did have these on my cell phone. The one of her and Max swimming in
the river is a little hard to see. She likes to dive under like Max...very
cuite!! If you have any other questions let me know. Thank you for a
great addition to our family. No dog/s were ever more loved than Max
and Sophie.

Hello Alyssa,
I am glad you inquire about your pups, he is doing great, full of energy
and has been learning fast. I currently have him enrolled in Banfield
bet hospital. He just got all his shot for the year and won't be going
back until May. Maverick is his name and he currently is around 60 pounds.
Here are some pics, thanks again for a great dog.

Hello, Alyssa!! So so sorry for the very long delay. Here is Hawkeye
Sides, a great dog, good looking and great disposition. My next email
will have his neutering info. We use the Banfield Wellness plan for
the 1st year puppy vaccinations and neutering. You see his best friend
in the pic, Cheyanne, she is 7, and we also had her as a pup. These
pics were taken a month or so ago, now the grass is much greener, but
we do have almost an acre fenced in for them. We have them on Iams.
We have a daughter that is almost 2 so we know Hawkeye is great with
kids. We also have a 5 yr old boy and 18 yr old daughter who just moved
out and a son (21) in Iraq. We all love our dogs! We also have a cat
who tolerates the dogs but Hawkeye still likes to "stalk"
him. We always have 2 dogs (preferably Rotties) and Hawkeye is probably
the most gorgeous and perfect that we have had.
Thanks!

Hi Alyssa,
Stash is doing great. He just graduated from Level 1 puppy classes.
He weighs about 60lbs now. He's still pretty feisty but he's getting
better, he mostly gets that way when he's overly tired or bored. We
took him to the Humane Society Walk for Animals today, he had a blast
seeing all the other dogs. He is totally crashed out right now. He is
actually a really smart puppy, we just love him to death!
The pic's are of Stash and the neighbors dog. He is way bigger than
her now!
