We want to express that we found you to be such a wonderful person to work with.  Clearly your pride and confidence in what you do shows through.  You definitely have a way of letting clients feel at ease.  You know that your customers are not just selecting a pet but a member of their family-we appreciate that! I know you can not hold a Bichon (#4 or her sister) for us until our next trip within two weeks.  We are planning to come and see you then.  As I mentioned yesterday, the initial deposit need not be credited at this time but can be held aside until we see you. Sincerely, The D family      "We are so grateful to Sportsman's and your staff for doing such a Terrific Job"                                                      Andrew "Noelle fit in Comfortably with the less lively kind here at home"                                                          Diane  Hi Helen! Well Casey will be 5 months old the end of Feb. and he is doing great.  I can't believe that we have him for 2 months and how much he has grown.  I think when you finally let us take him, he weighed about 12 pounds and now he weighs almost forty.  Believe me, by the way, we have only fed him the same food that you gave us when we left the kennel.  By the way, when I said that you finally let us take him, I tell everyone that because he seemed to have a little running nose, you had wanted to keep him a little longer. I must say that when I questioned you and your credentials when we first met you, I was truly unaware of the years that you had been breeding dogs and how much you care about your animals.  I would recommend to anyone if they were going to purchase a pup that they first speak with you.  I found you be both honest and sincere and so has everyone else that I know has taken a pup from you. Keep up the great work and always stay as honest as you were with us. Sincerely, Tom & Ronnie    Dear Amy and Staff, We want to thank you for “Tiki” and “Buster”.  You and your staff made a Big decision easy and comforting!  Our kids are so happy and the look on their faces was priceless!  Please, don’t ever take your jobs lightly, you all made two little boys very happy.  I can honestly say that our family is complete now.  Every time I came out to visit, you all made me feel so welcomed and you always answered all of our questions.  With all of your love given to “Tiki and “Buster” they are well adjusted and couldn’t be more loving.  They are always a big hit!  And yes, they are Spoiled!   Every time I go out, I always come home with something for them. We just wanted to let you know how thankful we are that they are such a wonderful addition to our family.  We hope you all understand the impact you make on a family every time you send a dog home. Sincerely, Rich, Carol, RJ and Mathew     "Daisy and Peggy have turned out to be such good dogs"                                                     Elizabeth "Thank you for all of your helpful advice and for your time and patience when we were picking her out (for 4 hours)"  The A Family      Amy, I know it has been too long, and I do apologize. Let me just tell you how much joy this little dog is bringing this family. As you know we left you and drove about 2 hours up to Westchester to deliver him, where the family was waiting in the living room, with their eyes closed and we put this adorable puppy on the floor and said, “Open Your Eyes!!”  I don’t think words can describe the joy. Our boss’ daughter decided to name him Teddy, and he is growing rapidly, we are waiting for a new picture.  He has adjusted beautifully to his new home, and his training is going quite well. To say, Thank You, would not be enough.  Knowing how happy you have made this family is the special message that I send to you!! Thank you and all the best to you, Steven     Dear Amy, We can’t thank you enough for helping us choose Chloe as our special puppy.  She adjusted quickly to being in our home and was trained within a few weeks.  She is so smart- we taught her to ring a bell when she wants to go out!  Chloe has a great personality.  She is quite energetic and loves to run around outside, chase a ball or play with our neighbor’s dog.  But, she is equally happy to curl up on your lap and snuggle.   Thank You Again, Allison, Andre’, Gabrielle and Kayla Dix Hills, New York   Dear Helen, A tremendous thank you, for introducing me to my new love of my life, Sophie.  If you recall, I visited your establishment in May.  I was delighted to see the clean facility and the people who obviously took such good care of your dogs!  I felt right at home and loved seeing the white cribs filling the room with wonderful puppies. At the time, I couldn’t decide between 378  and 332- two lovely Shih-Tzus.  I told you I would return during the week to make my final decision and I did.  Only I was introduced to 277 along with 378 and 322.  277, later named Sophie was the one for me.  I instantly saw a glint in her eye, a  smartness in her step and an eagerness to please.  She weighed only 3 pounds but was the most tenacious little puppy I had ever seen.  She was determined to pick up a tennis ball that was almost bigger than her and she managed to do it! I remember picking her up on May 29 and instantly melting with love.  My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our choice.  Thanks Again! Kelly East Rockaway, New York   Dear Amy and Helen, We hope you have been well and the years good to you both. We bought Lucy and Linus home some 7 years ago.  Our lives have never been the same. Life is brighter and the joy sweeter because of our King Charles Cavaliers!  We love them both to pieces! Thank you for changing our lives all for the better. Love, Michelle & Jackie   Dear Amy, Daisy and Peggy had a great holiday, and have been enjoying the cold weather-especially the snow.  While I’m working, their “Gramma” takes very good care of them, and keeps them busy going for walks and playing in the backyard. They had a great Christmas, with lots of new bones and toys- and even a new bed (to replace the one Peggy dug a hole in).  They’re really good together, and share everything with no fighting, even their beds are interchangeable.  Daisy still treats Peggy as if she was a puppy and tolerates an awful lot of nonsense from her.  Peggy still acts like a puppy-she knows when to quit and throws herself on the floor in surrender when she knows Daisy has had enough! The years are flying by-Peggy will be 3 in March and Daisy will be 5 in April.  They continue to be the greatest dogs.  Daisy is very smart, and has even learned to spell.  We can no longer spell O-U-T, as she gets all excited and knows what it means.  Peggy, however, gets all excited because Daisy is excited. Hope you had a good holiday.  Will stay in touch and update you again in the spring. Take care and be safe, Sincerely, Betty Bayside, New York
