Hi Gaye:
Jock is
doing fabulous. He has officially fit in with my
pack, he doesn't harrass and hump anyone and mostly
has to answer to Believe, who doesn't let him get
away with anything. And he loves having a girl to
boss him around! There have been no problems
between him and my border collie, I introduced them
both very slowly and it went well.
He hasn't
figured out my dog door yet, so I bring him to work
and he and "Believe" man the reception desk, so he's
making many new friends. He's almost scared of the
clinic cats, which entertains me, he moves to the
opposite side of the reception area when they come
up front.
I started letting him sleep with me a couple nights
ago, and he thinks that is the best thing ever. He
sleeps stretched out besided me on the opposite side
as Believe. He loves the raw food and stools have
been fine. I did check his stool which was negative
and so was his heartworm test.
So far
this has gone smoother than I thought it would!

Here's
another update :o)
Jock
got to do his first agility class tonight. He
was brilliant. He is so quickly figuring out
what he needs to do to the point he can run
through a tunnel by himself after just a couple
tries! But the coolest part for me is that he
got to be the calming influence on a reactive
little Pomeranian in class. He has ended up
being the first dog that the little pom wouldn't
react to, he had to share his cheese to do it,
but he was happy to, and ended up with more
cheese because of it! That was really amazing
to watch. Jock is an amazing boy! Thanks!
Note:
Conquest Jock is an intact adult breeding male
placed into a performance home with Teresa. He
accompanies Teresa to the Vet clinic every day along
with his daughter "Conquest Believe".

Hi Gaye,
I just wanted to "thank you" for 15
years of love, affection and companionship! I got my
"Jake" from you at 7 weeks old in 1995. He was the
offspring of Loblolly Lazer and Conquest Custard. The
quietest and largest in the litter. I know you had some
apprehension about us. We were young (I was 25 years
old), newly married and living in downtown Toronto. But
Jake fit right in and as our family grew (we have 3
kids) he grew right along with us.

He has been a constant presence in my life. Jake
accompanied me everywhere I went right up until this
past November, 2009 (he developed arthritis so it was
too cold for him to be outside for very long). He walked
my kids to and from school everyday, he went shopping
with me, ran errands with me, and was a constant source
of security when my husband was out of town. He loved
our cottage. Walks, swimming, paddle boat rides and
digging. He had the best life and it showed! He was
always very healthy until about 6 months ago. He slowly
lost his sight and hearing. He started to develop
arthritis and was quite stiff. About 6 weeks ago he
started to pace all the time and walk in circles. I knew
it was the beginning of the end and I was devastated. We
made the most of every last minute with Jake.
This past Thursday (March 2010) we
all said "goodbye" to our beautiful "Jake". After 6
months of deterioration I knew it was time to let my
friend go. He could no longer walk. I am heartbroken and
never expected to be so sad.
Thank you for the (best) 15 years I
had with such an amazing companion and friend. I will
never forget him. I loved him more than I ever
realized...
Regards,
Lindsay W.

Gaye,
Thank-you for your
guidance and time working with us on the integration of
a new pup, Claus, into our home. We do appreciate your
consultation and extra care with the introductions.
As a small gesture of our appreciation, we have made a
donation, as thanks to "Conquest Terriers", to the Jack Russell
Terrier Research Foundation.
Although their research takes many donations to support
their work, hopefully our $100.00 positively contributes
to the betterment of the JRT breed in a small way.
Thank-you very much,
Gord and Reta C,
Burlington, Ontario

Claus' big day - going
home with his new family:)
May 5, 2010 a follow-up email with a new picture as
below.
Hello Gaye, I thought you’d like to get an update on
Lando (formerly “Claus).
As
you can see from the attached picture, he has grown
considerably – almost 6 kg at 5+ months old. He has the
most amazing temperament. Anyone who meets him can see
that he is always happy, with his tail wagging whenever
he is interacting with people. He and Kelly get along
very well. We have not had a single incident involving
serious aggression (touch wood), although they’ve each
fallen into their respective roles well with Kelly being
the dominant one. They play constantly in the house and
backyard, with a routine of play sessions throughout the
day I’ve noticed. He clearly loves to be around her and
she really enjoys his companionship.
Gord and I are so pleased to have him as “our boy” –
he’s a sweet JRT who has enriched our lives. He began
his puppy training (John Menzies does send his regards
by the way) and is doing well.

I just wanted to
write a quick note of "Happy Holidays" and again THANKS!
Thanks SO much for breeding
WONDERFUL dogs!
I'm sure you remember Hattie - (A.K.A. Lacey). I
couldn't imagine my life without her! She is ME
in "dog form". I cannot wait until she get a little
older and set in her ways to get her a brother. You
haven't heard the last of us! Thanks and Happy Holidays - Genevia and Hattie,
California, USA

Gaye,
It is difficult to put in words how much we love,
appreciate and adore our new Conquest puppy "Jake".
He is the perfect example of fine breeding,
wonderful temperament, smart and fun dog all in
one.
The shipping process went unbelievably well. Kudos
to
Continental Airlines. He arrived on time and
was delivered directly to us in the terminal (happy
with tail wags). Continental was extremely careful
and obliging .
Jake is already part of the family, playing with our
other
Jack Russell and teething on our fingers.
We are so happy with him that we wish we had six
more.
Gaye, thanks so much, I know we will have many years
of enjoyment with "Jake"
Personal regards,
Jack & Darla S.
West Palm Beach, Florida

J ust a little
update on Jake. He is 7 lb. Got his second
shot today. Everyone wants him...He knows his
name, comes on recall and sits most of the
time. He learns things every nicely. He and
Murphy are buddies. We could NOT be happier.
Oct. 21, 2009 - Another a quick update on
Jakie. We went to our first training class
today. Karin his teacher had him running
thru the tunnel, jumping over the bar and up
and down the V bars in just one try. He
loved it. He is very smart and tooooo cute
for his own good.
Hope all is
well with you. I will send pictures from
our next class.
Take care,
Darla

Dear Gaye:
Our baby
arrived safe and sound. She was just perfect. We live
about 45 minutes from the airport. Jane held her on her
lap and she kissed her all the way home. When we got
home we fed her and she ate like she was starved. We
have the training pads for her to go potty. She went as
soon as we got home like she had held it for hours. We
got the heating pad and kennel set up and she sent to
sleep. About 4:30 this morning she let us know she had
to go potty. I put her out and she went immediately
then back in the kennel and she sent right to sleep and
slept until almost 9:00 this morning. She got up went
potty on the pads, had breakfast and wants to be a lap
dog with us now. We love her and she is adorable. She
is smaller than I thought she would be but what a
sweetheart.
Again
thank you for your kindness in dealing with us and
raising our little Lily.
Jess and
Jane W., Utah, USA
June 25, 2009
We
continue to enjoy our Lily. She has not had a single
potty accident since we got her. She is fetching a
little ball. It is so cute. We can’t believe that she
is doing all these things at such a young age and she
is so tiny!! What a delight. We have a large fenced
back yard and she is enjoying exploring and running with
the kids. We didn’t think we would enjoy her as much as
we do. She still sleeps about half way through the
night then lets us know she has to go potty, we take her
out on the deck off our bedroom and she goes almost
immediately, we put her back in her bed and she sleeps
until about 8:30-9:00. Now how could she be any better
than that.
Jess and
Jane W., Utah, USA
Editor's note - Lily was purchased after several long
distance communications were exchanged about litters of
puppies and was subsequently flown to her new home in
Utah, USA

Hi Gaye
We have had Sam for 6 months now and I just thought you
might like to have an update on how he is doing. As you
can see from the pictures, he is fitting into our family
just perfectly.....from games night to sitting in his
bed so politely with his legs crossed!!! He is a great
dog – full of energy for our walks and playing at the
park with the kids, but also so happy to curl up beside
us to watch a movie. He really has become a bit of a
mommy’s boy though.... he is my little shadow,
everywhere I go, he is only a step behind. As you know
when we got Sam, we had recently lost our first JRT and
we were really hurting from that loss. Sam has helped
all of us through that, and although we still miss our
Mazee deeply, this new little guy has brought us so much
joy. We are really looking forward to camping with him
and taking him to the cottage with us this summer - we
are anxious to see if he is going to be a swimmer like
Mazee was.
Thank you Gaye for this great new addition to our
family!

Hi Gaye!
Just thought I'd send you off a quick note on how
Tango & Sassy are doing (Sassy is now called
Tinker)... They've become very close to each other,
and have quite a bond. They have totally different
personalities, Tango is laid back while Tinker is
always on the go! Although both value their cuddle
time on the couch with us equally.
I've attached a few pics for you, the one of Tink
and the foal was just taken last night. Our latest
foal was born yesterday morning, and he's become
Tinker's baby... She sleeps in the corner of his
stall when we are doing chores, and will lay next to
him when we're in the stall. It's really something,
that she has these mothering instincts on a baby 10x
the size of her.
Conquest Tink licking the newborn Clydesdale foal &
watching carefully over her adopted baby
 
I am moving west on Monday, to Alberta, and have
decided to leave both Tink & Tango with Mom & Dad. I
just couldn't split them up, and the rest of my
family loves them so much, I thought that this would
be the best decision.
Shortly after making the decision to leave the dogs
here, I was researching breeders in Alberta. It
crossed my mind to get another pup off of you, but I
didn't want to take a young pup on the airplane
(although I'm sure you do it all the time). I
thought it would be best to get settled in before
bringing a pup into the house.
The woman I purchased a pup from is Suzanne Hunt of
Foxwillow Terriers. After having such quality dogs
from your breeding program, I have become quite
particular on choosing a pup. I noticed Suzanne had
some of your breeding in her program, and after
going to visit her and her dogs, I chose a pup out
of her current available litter. The mother of the
pup is a Rivet Granddaughter.
So much for this being a 'quick note'... I just
wanted to let you know how much happiness Tinker and
Tango bring to our lives, they're perfect little
terriers :)
Thanks again for breeding such wonderful dogs!

Tag and I have competed twice in agility trials in novice. We
started off with a BANG! Tag qualified and placed first at her
first real agility trial. Then last weekend was her second
trial and she got two qualifying scores and two more first
places! Qualifying scores means she did everything with no
major mistakes. It takes three qualifying scores to earn a
title. She has one Q in Standard (with contacts) and two in
Jumpers. She is doing so well, she makes some novice mistakes
but she really is very steady. Nothing seems to bother her, she
stays focused on her job. I am very proud of her. I could not
have asked for a better fit in a dog if I tried. I am not
entering her in agility much yet, I don't want her to have an
issue and not be able to fix it. I am entering her in about one
or two trials a month right now, we have one more in two weeks
and then two in March. She should be more ready by the summer
when there are many trials.
We continue to
compete in flyball, she has run in 4 or 5 tournaments and has
been very solid. She is running again this weekend. We hope to
come to an Ontario tournament this summer.
Hope all is well with
you, stay warm.
Maureen & Tagurit
Hello again:
We had another great show last weekend at the big Cobo Hall dog
show in Detroit! Tag qualified both times again and two more
1st places. That is a tough venue, huge crowds and lots of
noise, I was surprised she did so well. So she earned her first
title (NAJ - Novice Agility Jumpers) and moves on to Open.
I'll keep you
posted.
Maureen & Tagurit
- NAJ, FDCH-S (flyball dog champion -
silver)
I am sure you
can tell how happy I am with Tag. She has fit in perfectly with my other dogs
and has been great fun to train. I lost my big dog in July to cancer (he was
only 9 :c/). He played with her all the time and protected her from my other
dogs when he thought they were playing too rough. Tag has been a great
distraction and she willing accepts all my extra attention. She is soooo
outgoing and friendly. Everyone in her classes, dogs and people, know her and
have to greet her. When we walk in the training building, experienced dogs
actually have stopped working to come say "hi" to her. She seems to have a
charisma about her that makes everyone smile and want to see her. She plays
with dogs of all sizes, one of her favorites is a Bernese Mountain Dog! She
also loves Belgians, since my big dog was a Belgian Malinois. She will play
with anyone, but she really prefers the attention of people. Our instructor has
threatened to come steal her away! She is a special girl.
See you,
Maureen &
Tagurit

Hey Gaye,
I just wanted to take a second & tell you how happy I am with the puppy that
I got from you. "Believe" is everything I was looking for in a terrier. She
has the temperament, structure, drive & attitude to excel at agility. She
is amazingly easy to train, seems that I only have to show her how to do
something once, & she's got it all figured out!
And she amazes me how fast she is already, she can catch my border collies
when they are out running & playing! I have to be careful when I take her
to agility trials, everyone keeps threatening to steal her, they all like
her so much! I have a feeling that's only going to get worse when she is
old enough to start competing!
Conquest Believe at 7 1/2 weeks of age - boldly climbing the garden wall.
I can't thank you enough for taking the time and knowledge to breed such
wonderful dogs. You and your kennel are an asset to the Jack Russell
community, as your dogs really do improve the breed. You don't mind if I
don't tell the agility world about your dogs do you........ I'm afraid that
words going to get out anyway!
Thanks again!!

Hi Gaye,
You asked me to
keep you posted about your little girl; she is pure joy! After playing for
an hour she is now sleeping in my lap as I send this to you.

She is eating better, sleeping more and loving every minute of her life. She
loves to play with us. She will actually retrieve a small ball and drop it
in front of me. Russell would never do that, he had to be the winner.
This is my little girl; I have four sons and
most of our pets were male. I love to brush her and will buy her a feminine
leash. I would never put ribbons in her hair but anything within reason that
still allows her to have the freedom of a dog is cool.
I understand that Jack Russells are the latest
fashion item in New York; women carry the poor country dogs in their purse.
Wind Up is going to be tripping through the Bruce Trail with a pretty light
weight leash.
Thomas adores her. When he doesn't have large dogs
he sleeps with her; otherwise she sleeps with us. As you can see one dog is
not enough for our family; therefore the boarders supplement her.
We still have not introduced her to other boarding
dogs. Today she met Diesel an English Bulldog; they wagged their tails
across a glass sliding door and when I opened it two inches they seemed very
amicable.
Now for the bad news; I liked her name but Don
insisted on calling her Sabrina (the name of my first dog when I was
fourteen) an Airdale Terrier. You may still call her Wind Up.
I didn't get your pics in your email.
I will send you ours.

Thanks for giving us so much joy! Since she is never to
be bred I feel very fortunate and a little selfish because she is one of a
kind that will never be reproduced. I guess it was supposed to be like that
or it wouldn't have happened. We feel so privileged.
Also thank Elise for being so patient with us; she
is quite a compliment to your work.
Take care,
Agnes and family.
Orangeville, ON
Update regarding Wind Up/Sabrina sent
Jan. 6, 2009
In every aspect of her life
she is adjusting beautifully. She is so delighted with our guest dogs at our
Gordon Pet Services Inn; she is quite a flirt and a social butterfly. By the
way her and Diesel Swissy (the greater Swiss Mountain dog) are the greatest
of friends; he has to bend down for his kisses and seems delighted to do so.
She is eating well, sleeping well, house trained, well almost, about one
accident in the past week and becoming quite independent. Sometimes if Don
and I are watching a movie she prefers lying by herself in another room; I
guess we have to respect her need for privacy.
She has already brought us so much joy that words cannot describe it. Thanks
for that Gaye.

Good afternoon Gaye:
How are things. Well
Viper and I had a lazy day today after he helped me rake
some leaves in the back. Actually, after I raked the
leaves and Viper chased the rake. He's a great little
guy to take afternoon naps with. He is such a cuddly
little guy. By the way he loves shoes but he is starting
to grow out of the shoe bit and he is moving onto bigger
and better things.
He is a great
learner. I am amazed at how quick he learns. He is
probably 95% house trained now. Whenever he wants to go
to the bathroom he goes to our sliding door and waits
until we let him out. My wife and I love him soooooo
much. My mom just adores him
I won't keep you
long. I thought I would send you a quick pic of Viper
with one of his favourite toys.

Enjoy Gaye and
keep in touch.

Hi Gaye;
I wanted to send you some
recent pictures of our beautiful little Zoe and to let you know
how pleased we are with her. She is a wonderful dog and has
brought our family so much joy. She is a good little dog, very
lovable, very calm and quiet and good with other dogs. The only
trouble we have had with her is with a vaccine. She is very
allergic to the Leptospirosis vaccine and we had a scare
recently with that vaccine. She reacted to it and she will not
be able to have that vaccine again. That worries me a little but
we will just have to make sure she stays away from puddles, etc.
because there is a lot of wildlife in our area - ducks, geese,
raccoons, etc.
 
We are beginning family dog obedience next week which I am
looking forward to. I had enrolled before but I was not happy
with the instructor's philosophy so I have changed schools. The
previous instructor was big on pushing off leash parks and
walking your dog off-leash and I am totally against this -
especially with a Jack Russell! Already Zoe is showing selective
hearing - if she is busy digging or see something more
interesting, she chooses to ignore us. Also she is starting to
show a little independence and trying to dominate - she will
growl and snap if we pick her up when she is comfy or if she
gets in the "mood". I get lots of different opinions about what
to do about this. I know we will get advice from the dog
obedience classes but you are experienced with Jack Russells, so
what do you do when they are starting to try to be the alpha
dog? She doesn't respond to "NO" but sometimes continues. She
doesn't do it very often, but I want to stop it now.
Again thanks so much for your wonderful breeding. It really is
evident in the quality of dog we have. Whenever people comment
on her, I always mention you and how important it was that we
got her from a good breeder. People are always quick to tell
stories they hear about the breed, and I always tell them that
you just can't get one anywhere - you have to make sure
you take the time to go to a reputable breeder. It really shows
in Zoe - she is such a good little dog.
If you could let me know what you do to discipline when they try
to dominate, I would appreciate it.
Tania M.

Conquest Terriers' comment - I do not
recommend giving Leptospirosis vaccine as it has the most
frequent & serious reaction of any vaccination. Please bear mind
that a dog with a healthy immune system should be able to ward
off most diseases.
Hi Gaye:
We just wanted to let you know
that Snow White is now Maggie. She is doing great and the kids
are loving her. She is growing fast and she is spoiled.
We wanted to thank you for such a great dog and we are looking
forward to having a lot of fun with Maggie. She is an energetic
and free spirited dog and we love her very much.
Thanks again.

Just wanted to tell you that Brody is doing great! He has fit
in so well in our family. Every day we go for walks with my
parents dog Jack, a Portuguese Water dog, they have become best
friends. Being from Newfoundland I was finding it hard to find
a Jack Russell breeder, so I hopped on the internet and
thankfully found you. I sent off an email and only a short time
later you replied. From then on you guided me through the whole
process and you were so quick to answer every question. I was
also a bit hesitant on getting a puppy from such a long
distance, Brantford Ontario to St. John's Newfoundland. But you
assured me that everything would be fine, and sure enough our
little guy arrived here safe and sound, we have been best
friends ever since. Even though we have never met I feel like
we have known each other for years. Once again thank you so
much for matching us with a great puppy.

I
just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know how "Tango" is
doing. He is a pup we bought from you almost a year ago (where
has the time gone)? He was born November 8th, and is out of
Nymph.
We're very pleased with how he's turned out, he's so full of
personality! He's definitely a suck, and he demands attention
from everyone who comes to the farm. I've attached a few pics of
him from this past summer, he's in his "work clothes" (filthy
dirty). He was out helping us build the new fence around the
paddocks for most of the summer, which was when it was found out
how much he loves ATV rides. Nobody can start the machine
without him hopping on, even if he is inside the house he will
throw a fit until he is let outside to go for a ride.
He is enjoying going to the horse shows with me, whenever I open
the truck door he jumps right in waiting for a ride.
When we purchased Tango, it was a few months after we lost our
first JRT, he definitely had big shoes to fill as there were big
holes in mine, as well as my family's hearts. Tango has
definitely helped to mend the broken hearts, and as you will see
in the pics, he's got my dad wrapped around his little paw.

Thanks again for raising such a great pup!

In June 2005 we first met Gaye having
ordered a Jack Russell puppy. We drove to Brantford, Ontario
and her farm where we picked up our doggie and of course met
Gaye. Her professionalism was superb in her advice, backup
paperwork and handling of her dogs. She made absolutely sure in
various ways, that we were suitable parents for her little
breed. Needless to say, our dog, has changed our lives and we
resort to emailing Gaye quite often for advice about every
aspect of dog life.
We live in Mexico where we encounter quite a few tropical
veterinary problems. So, in short, we would recommend at the
highest level going to Gaye for your Jack Russell.
The breed is fabulous and we will always have one. Our biggest
mistake was not to get TWO at the same time.
We love our doggie Kulu which means braveheart in Zulu. Thank
you Gaye.

Hi Gaye,
Sorry about not getting back to you sooner
but this is the first time I have been near a computer all
summer. Rocket is doing great! She is now really part of the
family. She had doggy school all summer at the beach. We would
get up and be at the beach by 6 a.m. twice a week for her
lessons. She is really quick and so eager to please. The other
mornings I would take all three of them down to the beach to
romp and play with a multitude of dogs ranging from JRT's to
Great Danes. They all got along. Rocket knew when to back off
and when to jump right in instinctively. She really has no
fear. Everyone loves her, we loved hearing, "Here comes
Rocket….." She actually seems to laugh out loud. Can you tell
we love her? I have quite a lot of pictures on my home computer
so when I get a chance I will send them to you.
I will tell you more later,
Thanks again for such a well adjusted puppy.

Hi Gaye
I just wanted to say a few words on the wonderful addition of
Pippin to our family. We had a ruff year last year loosing a
family pet of 14 years. Both my husband and I wanted a smaller
dog as we live on a farm and have two Yellow Labs and needed a
pup that would get along with a grumpy old dog. We decided on a
Jack Russell Terrier. We had many pet enthusiasts tell us if we
get a Jack we will regret it, as they are hyper, yappy and
destructive. Well we didn't listen to them and started pursuing
finding the perfect Jack. We referred to you from another Jack
Breeder. We came down for a visit and you had several puppies
in all different age categories. We had only wanted to visit
for an hour but it turned out to be longer than that and it was
a great time. We got to play with the puppies, go for a walk
with them all, see your kennels, it was a fantastic day. The
next morning there was an e-mail from Gaye, she had picked out a
pup for us if we were interested. Well I came down that very
same day and picked up Pippin. She is an amazing puppy. I have
had many dogs in my life, but she is very special. This has
been seen by a lot of people such as vets, trainers, friends and
neighbours. All that told us not to get a Jack has had a change
of heart regarding Jack Russell Terriers and I believe this is
due to Gaye's knowledge of breeding and her dedication at
producing good puppies. She is one year old today and we
couldn't be happier with Pip. I have taken her to obedience
school and she was best in class. No surprise there. Now we
are looking at putting her into agility as she just loves to
learn. You always have her full attention when in training.
Pip comes to work with me most days if I don't have a meeting.
Co-workers come in just to see Pip. All in all I would
recommend Gaye as your breeder for your next JRT pet and I would
definitely recommend a Jack for your next friend. Jacks are
truly amazing.

"Its
been awhile, I just wanted to update you on our JRT Brian and
I adopted from you in Feb '06. Tessa is doing great she coming
on vacation with us up to the cottage this summer which should
be eventful! We don't know what we'd do without her, she has
been an awesome companion, and we think she's the best looking
and smallest dog in the neighbourhood at least that's what
everybody tells us. There have been lots of laughs! She is by
far more entertaining than we expected and our hearts go a
flutter every time she greets us when we get home from work.
Thanks for breeding the best terriers around!"

Hi Gaye:
I just wanted to let you know how happy we are
that we chose your guidance on getting our new puppy.
I looked at breeders from Wisconsin, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and you. I talked to many breeders for
several weeks and took my time looking for a breeder and pup
that I felt confident in bringing into our home with our current
Jack Russell. The main key I felt was to find a breeder that I
felt could give me a healthy pup #1, a pup that would be
compatible with our current dog #2, and a pup with the right
personality/temperament #3, and if it will works out to do
agility with, that would be a bonus but not paramount.
As
you know I live in Chicago and stopped by you to look at your
available litters. After talking to countless breeders I felt
most comfortable with you and only one other breeder in my long
long search. I was torn between deciding between two puppies
that you had and told you. Your suggestion was that either
would probably be alright for what I was looking for and
sometimes you need to just "Go with your gut". A week later, My
choice was to "Go with my gut" and decide on the one you felt
would be the best fit for me. I am very happy that I decided to
take your guidance and get the one you felt most appropriate for
what I wanted. He is more than I had expected, a perfect fit
and probably will be more as he gets older!!!
My advise
to any one looking to get a new pup is: Take your time! Look
for a breeder who you feel comfortable with.
LISTEN TO THE BREEDERS ADVISE
TO WHAT PUPPY WILL BE THE BEST
FIT
FOR YOU!
I
felt very at ease visiting your house and kennels. You have
many extremely nice looking dogs ( Both health and aesthetics ).

If
I can let some one know about you that is looking for a new dog,
I would feel very confident in suggesting that they consider
you.
I will keep in touch to let you know how our
puppy progresses.
Thanks a Lot! Greg Wojtecki -

Gaye,

I just wanted to thank you for Nugget. She's a wonderful little dog with the
biggest personality around. She loves to come to work with me and everybody
in the greenhouse loves her. She's very well behaved and nearly everybody
comments on what a wonderful dog she is. The other day, I had to move a
tractor at work and I expected her to run away with the sound of big diesel
engine, but instead she was trying to find a way to jump on the tractor. In
the end, she sat on my lap while I attached the tractor to the generator.
She's also really nice with our
Samoyed
puppy. They play all the time and
she's very good to him. Of course she needs to teach him lessons once in a
while, but also stands up for him if another dog tries to teach him a
lesson.
Nugget is such a sweetie and we're so happy to have her as a part of our
family, or should I say "pack".

Hi Gaye:
Great to see you expanding your
website. You have worked so hard to maintain such high standards of
the Jack Russells and I, for one, can vouch for that! My
testimonial is geared around "Aging with My Meggie". We are the
seniors and have a 14 year relationship with you. I have never aged
with my doggie before and it brings about a different perspective.
We both move a little slower, our vision and hearing isn't quite up
to par, teeth are fewer but one thing we both have is our love in
our hearts for each other and a sympathetic ear when one of us is
having a bad day. Meggie is a Cory-Winston pup and is rough coated
with a wonderful hunting background. No words could describe the
companionship she has given me over the years--my little shadow.
She makes me laugh with her antics and only sees the vet for her
yearly shots. No animal that I have owned has been this healthy!!!
We have added another member to
the family-Tobie, also a rough coated Jack Russell who is now 4
years old. It was a difficult adjustment but they finally
acknowledge each other's presence. It has certainly added years
to Meggie's life as she must (and is) the pack leader and keeps
him in place.
So, thanks Gaye for bringing my
sweet Meggie into my life and also for your friendship.

Hi Gaye,
Hope you are
doing well. Just keeping in touch. Athena is doing very well and
is now spade ( she picked out the stitches herself :-) ) She is
a remarkable dog and you can trust her 100% with all the kids.
If you should ever come across another Athena please let me
know. I would be very interested. Age does not matter. We love
her so much.
All the best.

hi gaye -
i just
thought i would let you know what a great breed of terriers you
have and that i am so glad that you were recommended to me by
ann r.
greta.... i'm not sure if you remember her (she
was born to be in shows but couldn't because her bottom teeth
were off by a few mm, and we took her 7 months mature) is still
a great addition to our family along with calvin, and if their
check-ups are any indication, i reckon that they will be around
for some time - they are 11 + 12 now but still act like
teenagers. luckily we have only lost one skunk, a chipmunk and
a rat.
please
find attached a picture of greta from this past winter + summer.
warmest
regards,
gregory h.
