Melissa,

Just a note to let you know Gabby has made herself at home as you can see. She is a real character. She gets along with Molly the chocolate lab and loves to explore. She is truly my angel.

Thanks
Teri

Hi Melissa,

Just wanted to tell you Chance had a clean bill of health from the vet today. The vet was very impressed with all of the paper work that was in the folder. He said Chance is going to be between 80 -100 pounds! We are so happy to have him, he is a great dog. He sleeps in his crate without any problems. He goes out at 9 and my husband walks him around 1AM before he goes to bed and Chance sleeps until 8:30.

I took his pictures to work and everyone loves him. I handed out two of your cards so far! One lady at work has a Golden. She got him from the rescue shelter, but now she is considering a puppy, of course I told her how wonderful you are. I will send pictures as he grows.

Update:

Hello Melissa,

We had Chance at the vet yesterday and he is now 15 pounds and growing! He is doing great, he is very smart. At 11 weeks, he sits on command and doesn't jump on people when they bend down to pet him. He is a big hit in our community, people we don't even know stop to look at him.

Chance has brought so much joy into our lives in such a short time. I was very nervous about getting another pup so soon after loosing our other Golden, but after having Chance home with us, all that has pasted. I am just so thrilled we have him.

You are to be complimented on breeding one of the finest Golden Retrievers. I am so glad my daughter Gabriella found you!

Thank you for taking this picture.  I attached the picture you took of us going home.  I'm happy to report that Trace is doing great!  No problems on the ride home or in settling in.  Only one potty accident and it was my fault.

He passed with flying colors at the vet today, and while we were taking a walk this morning I was asked where I got him and gave them your website.

My vet was so impressed with him Both his appearance and his personality.  He is such a lovable eager to please little guy.  (Ok maybe not so little, he weighed in at 16lbs !)  The vet said he was an impressive Golden.  Of course I already knew that  :)

Thank you again for  my beautiful little guy!

Best wishes to you,
Sherry

Melissa,

Here are some pictures of Marty. He is very healthy and has adjusted to the move. He has been to the vet twice for his checkup and shots and he has a clean bill of health.

His socialization is progressing and he definitely loves to be around people. The cat in the house hasn't quite adjusted to his presence yet, but she has been queen of the castle for sometime and is not giving up the throne easily.

He was introduced to the pool last week and enjoyed the short swim that we took. We have been working on his bag of tricks and he loves to run in the grass and retrieve anything. He has gone through many toys already, but has been very good about sticking to the toys only (a shoe once in a great while). Potty training was done within the first week.

We are very pleased with our addition and he has become the hit of the neighborhood.

Thank you and I will continue to send pictures on occasion.

Another update, Kai is doing GREAT!!  Went for our second round of shots today at the vet and he was a champ.  He’s 15.5 lbs. now and growing every day.  Vet said he looks great.  Katy and I have been having so much fun with him, he is a perfect addition to our home.  Thanks again for everything Melissa.

Thanks!

John, Katy, and Kai

Center of attention

Hi Everyone!

We thought you would like to see pics of our big baby!  She was one year old on Dec 17th!  The time sure has flown by.  She is a wonderful dog and is involved with everything we do whether we need her help or not!  As you can see, she is quite the lap dog also! There is just no way to express how happy she has made us.  I wish you could see how she prances when we walk her, and she also does a little dance when she wakes up in the mornings.  Oh, and she does not bark!  She goes woo woo woo.  She is really something! We are truly blessed.

Thank you again and we have referred you to everyone we know that may be interested in adding a Golden to their family

Enjoy!
Diane & Doug

p.s.  Melissa (Paradise Kennels)  Thank you so much for breeding the most perfect Golden.  Our "Honey" has been the best

Update on Honey at 2 years old

Hello Melissa,

I just wanted to share a couple of updated pictures of our beautiful girl, Honey.  She was two years old on Dec 17th and she just gets more beautiful every day.  Her personality is the best and she is the center of our family.  We just love her to pieces!  I enjoy walking with her every day because we always meet someone who coments on how pretty and well behaved she is.  She is the best!

You truly do a wonderful job of breeding Goldens!

Melissa:

We wanted to share another photo of Bailey. She has one of the greatest temperaments of any dog I know. She is loving, kind and smart. We are so glad to have her as part of our family and want to thank you again for breeding such a wonderful dog.

Bruce

Sandy is everything we could have possibly hoped for.  She is a gorgeous example of a classic Golden Retriever with a joyful spirit, noble forehead, deep brown eyes, wonderful coat and the best personality a dog could have.  She has become a cherished member of our family not by our children and ourselves but also by our Devon Rex cat (who owned the house before Sandy arrived).

We may want to add one of Sandy's sisters or cousins to our family at some later date so please keep us up to speed with future litters.

Please remember that you have an open invitation to visit Sandy and see how she loves to run on our 5 acres anytime you are in the Fort Myers area.

Thank you for being so kind and for bringing Sandy to our lives.

Terry, Kelly, Erin and Ian
