Koda's Puppies!

One of our FAVORITE things is seeing our puppies growing up with their wonderful forever families, and getting updates from them.  It seriously MAKES OUR DAY!

And in this post, we have THREE updates!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First - Milo (orange) is in Karma's "Wonderpups" Class at Calling All Dogs in SLC!  It started last week, and we were waiting for our classroom to be ready, when who walked in the door?  Milo and his Mommy!  We will be in the same puppy class for 6 weeks!  Next week, I've got to get some pictures.  Milo is SO handsome and well behaved, and his Mommy is just so sweet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Second - We got a message and a picture from Piper (red) and her family.  I am so, SO happy to see how loved and adored our sweet red puppy is!

"Piper, aka Miss Red, is getting in the holiday spirit!  She's a great family dog - couldn't ask for a better, very loving [dog], so thank you!  Happy Holidays!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third - This morning, we got a message FULL of pictures of Okie May (purple) - SQUEE!

Hey Elozia! Just wanted to share some recent pics of Miss Okie May!  Can't believe she's almost 6 months!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your puppies' updates and pictures with us.  We are so happy and grateful that our puppies all have wonderful families who love and adore them.  It makes my heart so happy that our puppies have the homes they deserve.  Thank you!

A Letter from "Sky Blue" and his family!

Dear Dustin's,

Last fall, we lost our sweet family pet, a Golden Retriever that we had had for 14 years.  Our two youngest kids started searching for the perfect dog for our family.  Our 15 year old spent hours on the internet reading and studying for the perfect dog for us.  She wanted a dog more than anything in this world.  It was such a fluke that she happened onto your website and we all fell in love with your family of Berner pups!  Our daughter at college was coming down for the weekend, so she picked him up and surprised everyone.  

It took us a whole month to agree on a name.  We finally named him Bear and it fits him really well.  Our neighbors call him "the big Brown Bear," due to our last name being Brown, and he already weighs 32 pounds.  He has become somewhat of a celebrity here in our little southern Utah town.  It is so much fun to show him off because not many have ever heard of this breed.  We spend lots of time at a local ski resort and everyone loves him there also.  We can't wait to take him around in the snow. 

Bear quickly became a much loved part of our family!  He misses the kids when they go to school and he lays his head back and howls.  It is so darling. 

We are attending dog training classes with a group that trains dogs for search and rescue.  He loves to go and spends lots of time socializing with the other dogs.  (we laugh about him being the "class clown.")  We couldn’t love this dog more.  

Thank you for the great care you have given these pups.  It is very evident.  Our dog trainer was very impressed with his confident, happy manner, and she said she could tell he had been cared for and socialized well from a small puppy. 

I hope this gives you a small glimpse of your/our cute Berner Bear and how he is doing.  Give his mom a hug!

Hello from "Pink"!

Its been a couple weeks since my husband hand-delivered Luna to her to her family in San Diego:

We just got this email (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE hearing about "our" pups!)


Greetings from San Diego!


Sorry I haven't written but we've been busy enjoying our little girl. Luna has made the transition into our home exceptionally easy for all of us. We both can't believe how smart she is (or how fast she's growing - up to a whopping 25 pounds). She is almost fully potty trained and can already sit and shake. Crate training at night has been something we're still working on, though. Brandon & I could let her cry herself to sleep but I don't think our neighbors in the complex would appreciate it so she has been sleeping in her bed next to ours. I guess she's won that battle... for now. We made our first trip to the dog park on Sunday with a friend and her year-old boxer & Luna played with her and all of the other dogs until she was so tired she could barely walk. This picture is on the car ride home and you can just tell she had the time of her life.


Thats all the news as of now. Thank you again - we can't imagine how we lived without her!

Puppy in the Paper!

Miss Red has been named "Piper", which is just darling and perfect for her.  She's already enjoying the good life, getting to tag along to the movies (a good old American drive-in!), and the local newspaper was there to document it!

"Megan and Chris C. brought their best friends along, three-year-old Penny and new pup Piper, a Bernese Mountain dog. The four were set to cuddle together in the back of their pick-up, lined with a cushy sleeping bag."

You're both darling, Piper and puppy sister Penny ...  I hope the movie was great.
