Comments on this page are from October 2009 to the Present... We love to hear from you!
I just wanted to tell you guys how much I love the Westie I received from you last year. Tucker is 15 months old now and he is amazing. Tucker has really helped me get through my wife’s illness, I couldn’t have made it without him. Thank you all!

TANGO IS DOING AWESOME! He was 5.8 pounds the day after I got him and yesterday he was weighed in at 6.4. You are right... he is such a laid back pup, and takes everything in stride. He gets along very well with my cat, Tara and respects when she doesn't want to be bothered. She comes up to him, gives a good sniff and walks away. Tango was playing with Chloe and were wrestling around. Out of nowhere my cat just ATTACKED Chloe... (I have never seen this side of my domesticated, indoor cat). I think she might have been trying to tell Chloe to pick on somebody her own size.
Tango is getting exposed to a lot of things... car rides, grass, people... grooming... doggles (doggles... yes, doggles, please see attached photos) and lots of lovies. Chloe is a very hyper happy bolonoodle, so I have to put her in her kennel to enjoy some quiet bonding. He loves to be rubbed, and likes to rest his head on my legs. It melts my heart just to watch his tail wag.
I love Tango!!!

I’ve been meaning to do this for some time, but now that Jack is approaching his first birthday, this seems like a good time to finally update you on this wonderful addition to our family. Jack is from Ashleigh’s and Harrington’s litter, born 8/24/2009. He came home with us in late November, and we have loved almost every moment! He completed a puppy obedience class, and has just started a regular class, and has accomplished all the skills asked of him very well. He’s a quick learner, and makes me look good when we go to class.
He loves our four-year-old daughter, and wants desperately to play with our cats, who tolerate his presence fairly well.
Thank you so much for working with us in getting a great addition to our family.

Hello Patti and Martin,
I have so many pictures of Ding Dong that I have taken this past year. This picture is two days shy of his first birthday 6/14/10.
What a sweetheart! He has ME trained. He loves his morning walks, watches for rabbits hopping around in our front yard and makes sure the birds don't stay too long in his back yard. Running through the hose is a favorite pastime and biting at the water spewing from the end of the hose leaves him drenched but he goes back for more.
I could tell you endless stories about him but will just share the comments above and picture below for now.

Patty & Martin,
I just thought I would give you an update on our “Wonderful” dog Wilson. We haven’t contacted you lately and thought it was about time for a new picture. Wilson will be 4 on October 12th. He has been a GREAT dog. He is so smart. He loves to camp, (you can’t even imply you are going camping or his ears go up). He loves to go for walks, play with the kids, sleep right by you. My husband calls him my little “sidekick” because he moves when I move. He has been such a joy. Also, we met our neighbors last summer only to find out that they have Brodie and Brianna who also came from your bunch. Wilson visits them regularly. Your dogs continue to be the best Westies out there. We will continue to get our dogs from your family. They are just great! Hope you guys are doing well.

Hi Patti,
Thought of you today as my daughter snapped this pic of the boys with her blackberry.
Wyatt is now 4 ½ months old and weighs 10 pounds! He’s doing so well.
It’s been a slow go with their relationship but it seems that Macintosh (14 ½ years old) has gotten much more used to him in the past week or so.
They enjoy going for rides in the car together and this seemed to be the common bond that has brought them together.
Like I’ve been saying... it’s like putting an old man together with a teenager!
Thanks so much again for such a beautiful little one!

Hi Patti!
Our puppy Sierra is doing great. I realized when I emailed her photo (8 posts
below) only the photo came across! She is healthy and is a little one, but we really love her. We are soo glad we found you guys, we may adopt another one soon.
-Haley
Had to send one more pic. She’s growing up fast! Her name morphed from Cleo to Chloe as nobody could get it straight. So here she is after her first professional grooming.

I have attached a picture of our endearing family member,
"Einstein", whom we brought home November of 2008. Einstein was born on our son’s 10th Birthday and has been the BEST birthday gift for our family. He has a VERY spunky personality, enjoys exploring, and knows NO strangers! We can’t imagine our home without him now. Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs; they truly are the BEST breed of dog in our opinions.

It has been a couple weeks since we got our baby boy up here in North Pole Alaska, and he is doing absolutly wonderfully.
We hadn't decided on a name, and our 9 yr old son started calling him his little buddy, pretty soon we were all calling him little buddy, so it stuck and we now officially call him
"Buddy". He is a really smart puppy, and is already showing he is protective of his family. He barks when strangers come in
the door, but not when we do. We are so happy with him. Thank You so much for providing us with this great little boy.
I have some pictures I need to load onto the computer and will send one so you can see him at his new home.
Thanks again,
-Amy and family
Patti,
Took this photo of the two of them yesterday... Thought I’d pass it on to you and Martin...
"Wyatt" has settled in as if he’s been here all his young life. Vet appt tomorrow!
-Diana
I just wanted to let you know how much joy this little boy
has brought to our lives! We've named him "Amos" and he is such a delight! He makes us laugh, gives us love and is very smart. I will forward photos as he grows. Thank you for adding him to our home!
Renee
Just emailing you to update you on Miss Cleo. I got her home last Saturday and she’s settled in wonderfully. I love her dearly. She’s such a joy to have around. And she’s SO smart! I can’t express how much she’s loved and spoiled.
Thank you for such a wonderful puppy!

Hi Patti & Martin,
Here is a photo of Sophie and Lexi.

Hi,
-Haley
Murdock and Higgins (left & right) are a joy. They love the snow!

Hello there,
We were the lucky recipients of boy 1 from Olivia & Nelson's litter last fall (we picked up on Oct. 23). Oh, how we love our little
"Oscar"! He's a sweet and loving little puppy and has made my transition into puppy owner (first dog ever--I'm 37) a wonderful one.
Thanks,
-Pam
Duncan came to live with me a year ago and I can't imagine him not being here. He wakes up every day absolutely thrilled with everything in his life and his Westie attitude positively rubs off on every one he meets. He has yet to meet the human being or dog who isn't capable of being his best friend ever. Squirrels ... not so much. I love these two pictures of him surveying the winter landscape.
-Bettye
Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with "Nova". She hasn't left my side since I brought her home. She even had an opportunity to watch me do some creating on the computer - I think she learned quite a bit! She is such a joy and hasn't stopped wagging her tail one minute, so I think she is quite happy already. She did have a moment when she thought she had a sister as I have one wall in the house that is all mirrors. She was having quite the reaction to not being able to touch her friend...poor thing. She will be spoiled (she's an only child, what can I say!)
Thank you again
-Nancy
First day with Ding Dong Boo-Boo went great! Went to bed at 10 p.m. There was one minute of whimpering and he layed down. I had to wake him up at 2 a.m. to pee as I didn't want him to be uncomfortable..
At 6:30 a.m. I again woke HIM up to go out! He slept all night! Already goes to patio door if he has to go. Plays, sleeps and eats the rest of his day! I got the pick of this litter! Thank you so much.
Jeanne and Ding Dong Boo-Boo
My mom is in love with her new baby! Her name is
"Bridget" and is as feisty as ever! She has also melted my father’s heart who in the past was kind of ambivalent about dogs. She’s a great addition to our family. Thank you for being so professional AND personal.
-Karen Mayer
Just a note to tell you and Martin how much I love my new baby girl
"Daphne" (from Nelson and Olivia...Oct. 23 pick up). She is dear and full of life and charm. My cat Agatha is actually tolerating Daphne never leaving the room for fear of missing some of her crazy antics.
Did you guys paper train these puppies?? I was so shocked to find Daphne going right to the paper never having an accident!! If so THANK YOU!! It has made these early days so much easier.
Best luck with your business of making dog lovers happier.
-Susan
I know I have not written in a while.
"Mariah" has a serious boy friend at daycare. He is another Westie, and his name is Jack, just like my husband's. Good thing both of them have been fixed.
"Ray" usually is very protective if Mariah gets too serious with a male dog, but he was fine with Jack, the Westie. Mariah's former boyfriend, Austin, a Jack Russell Terrier is not very happy. He growled at me the last time I saw him, which he never did before. I think he was upset that Mariah dumped him for Jack. It is like a little soap opera. Ray has a bunch of "buddies" but no girlfriend.
We just love our two babies and want to thank you again for them. I have attached a picture taken last month. Mariah is the one in the front.
-Marcie
Hello Patti and Martin-
Another photo to show how well "Ingrid" has adapted to her new family-
it took about 7 minutes of wanting to be in my lap and she has been on
the go ever since- it is amazing how quickly she has become a part of
my parent's life!
Many thanks again for meeting us at the airport and being so
accomodating-
-Alison
Hi, Just wanted to let you know
"Rascal" is wonderful. He is the happiest, smartest, most enthusiastic, cutest puppy ever. We love him. He went to see the vet got his shot and weighed 11 lbs. His a great addition to our family.
Thank you.
-Dottie
Merry Christmas from Fergus!
We wanted to let you know that "Fergus" (picked up on 6/5/09) is doing great! He is a wonderful dog (with typical "Westie" characteristics), and has brought much joy to our home. Fergus loves to play chase and soccer with "his" little soccer ball. He has also enjoyed playing in the snow! He definitely is our ~ "Good Boy Fergus"!
Thanks.....We love him very much
-The Kercheval Family
Just wanted to thank you again for the Westie puppy. This first week has been a lot of fun, he is really good and we are working on the potty training. Just wanted to let you know he now has a name it's
"Cody".
Thank You!
-Ron & Judy
I just wanted to give ya'll an update on
"Gandalf". I picked him up on October 8th and he's been great! He's so friendly with everyone he meets on our walks, including St. Bernard's! He's so playful and smart. Thanks for all of your help!
-Nicole
This puppy is amazing. My other westies love him.
"Ollie" is so smart that
he's already started to catch on to ringing the jingle bells on the
back door handle to go outside. He is affectionate and funny and
adorable in every way. Thank you for bringing me an angel wrapped in a
little dog's body.
-Roxann
We thought you would like to know that Amanda's Daughter is doing fine. We have named her "Missy". We are enclosing some pictures of her and her new big brother, Connor, enjoying the December Tucson sunshine. They are still experimenting with how to play together. She is definitely all Westie.
