We have received so many positive comments from our customers over the years that in this section, I'd just include some of the recent emails that I've received.

***Hello Byron, Just to let you know, Cricket (yellow collared female) is doing very well and, Turbo, our 1 yr old male black lab just adores her. He watched over her when she goes outside at night to go to the bathroom and plays with her and is very tolerant of her sharp little teeth. Cricket thinks she is a big dog and seems to be fearless and as it goes with puppies, she has a lot to learn about other dogs. She is a very nice puppy! Our Vet said she was a very nice, healthy puppy and our dog trainer said she was extremely cute, too. I hope you enjoy the picture - she walked into the basket all by herself and sat still for the picture. Take good care. Gale Sowle (Oct 10, 2011)

***Hi Byron, I just wanted to write and tell you what a sweet puppy our Daphne has turned out to be. Such a great personality and she was potty trained in just a couple of weeks. Thanks again for everything and we'll be recommending you to any of our friends and family who are looking for a gorgeous lab. Here's a picture I took of her and her new sister Saydi (eight-year-old black lab). Robert Schulte, ( Jun 29, 2011)

***Byron, Hello! I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you! We are having so much fun with her. We named her Daisy but havent come up with a full name yet for the registration paperwork. She is doing really good with my dog Rylee and my boyfriends dog too. My boyfriend kidnapped her and took her too work with him the last two days to show off and play with. We are doing good on the potty training. She is slowly learning to go down stairs. Daisy has absolutly no problem going up them but has been hesitant to go down. Its so cute watching her while she decides whether or not to take the step down or not. Daisy seems to be psycic and knows when I pull out the camera when she is doing something cute so these are the best ones I could get. She alwasy stops and moves to me when the camera goes up to my face. Silly girl. I'll be sure to send updates as she gets bigger. Thank you so much for all your help. Her termpermant and build were just what we were looking for and she is a perfect addition my little family. Aimee Lynn Norby (May 17, 2011)

***Byron, We love our "big girl". Remy is 31 pounds @ 15.5 weeks old. She loves the Boston Terriers and they love her. Her paws are like bear paws and she has total attitude. She demands attention from the entire family (dogs included), if you look away for 2 seconds she lets you know she does not like it. She is a really good girl, she puts herself to bed in her crate @ night. Her sister Charlie is half her size but the perfect match for my daughter with two children under 2. Charlie is so gentle with the 10 month old and chases the 2 year old all over the yard. They are inseparable. Thank you again, Lisa.A.Eddy (Jan 14, 2011)

***Hey Byron! I purchased a chocolate female (Bella) from you off of Kimo and Stitch last year and just wanted to write to tell you how lovely she has turned out. She is completly obedience trained and I have taken her to a trainer to see how she was doing as she is retrieving birds great already and we are going to keep up her training in order to get a title on her in the future hopefully. As far as conformation, she is a little on the smaller side and didn't get the blockiness I was looking for but that is ok as she still has plenty of growing to do! I love her so much and hope to get a JH title on her and then work our way up. I am sending off her EIC testing this weekend to see how she comes back. I was writing also as I was checking out your site and wanted to inquire about your upcoming litters. I had such a wonderful experience with you before and absolutly love the puppy I purchased from you. I wanted to know about your Copy x Lilo breeding or your Jack x Fowler breeding. I would like either another chocolate female or a yellow female but I know that Lilo is Stich's sister so leaning toward her. When you get a chance, I would love to know what you expect from that litter. Thanks! Tracy Harness (Jan 18, 2011)

Yes, I really like my trainer and he loves Bella and says she is really birdy and has super potential. I have really thought about it and think I would like to send a deposit for that litter from Lilo if you are accepting them already. Was it 200 or 250? I can't remember. I am already excited and they aren't even bred yet! LOL! Thanks again so much! Tracy Harness (Jan 19, 2011)

Hey Byron! I just wanted to let you know that May has made it to SC ok. She is absolutly beautiful and I can't thank you enough! I can't wait to start being able to work with her like I did with Bella. I will keep you posted and send pictures. You will be shocked to see how big Bella has gotten. Thanks again! Tracy Harness (Sep. 17, 2011)

Below are some pictures of our previous pups with their new families and homes.

I named him High Desert's Sagebrush Savage (Sage). He is a calm, but energetic pup. And I really love his color. He will be a great stud for my females. He has huge lab feet and loves the water already. He is retrieving from me about 7-8 times, before he loses his attention on it. However, I am not the best trainer. My kids love him and as you can see in the picture, he is sticking is tongue out at my son. We love him!

Hello Byron, hope all is well with you and your family also and that you are having a great summer too. Little Koda, well I guess she's not so little anymore, is now 35 pounds and she's eating 3 ¼ cups of Science Diet Lamb and Rice Puppy Formula each day. She has a very healthy appetite that's for sure!

She's learned all kind of new tricks and is very obedient. She stays on our yard very well. I can even leave the yard and tell her to stay while I go talk to the neighbor and she will just sit at the edge of the yard and wait for me to come back. She knows how to come, sit, shake hands, lay down and kennel up when told. We keep her in the yard and in the house when we're home and out in the kennel while we are at work and she NEVER barks. Not a peep out of the little feller! I'm really happy with her and she's great with the kids as well. Each morning she comes in and has to say hello to every member of the family by licking them on the face and arms to wake them up. Oh yeah, she is house trained and basically came that way! We were very surprised to find that she would go outside almost every time we took her out. She's great!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that she's doing fairly well with the (deer antlers) shed retrieving. She will go find sheds when I hide them and will fetch them when I toss them in the yard. She definitely has a very good nose. Thanks so much for providing us with the perfect addition to our family! Shawn Syme

HI Byron and LaShawn --

Just to let you know we have arrived home safe and sound. What a great traveler this pup is -- slept the whole way, no barking. Ate his dinner, went potty outside, and is now exploring his puppy pen and new toys!

Thank you both so very much! I will send photos as he grows. best, Jane & Walt

Later, Jane writes:

"He is now quite the strapping fellow, but very sweet. (Strapping is relative, he's not as large as our previous lab.) But otherwise he's matured into a sweet, loving fellow. We did family obedience with him and now he goes to Adventure Camp a couple of days a week to burn off some puppy energy. He's extremely inquisitive and loves our other 2 dogs."

Chicago Welcomes George, our new "City Slciker"

Hi Byron, Sep 18. 2009

Thank you sooooo much! George and I are totally in love! I cannot believe what a great pup he is! He is already a "city slicker" and he has been here 4 hours. He is not afraid of anything (sirens, buses, the elevator or people). Completely socialized, sweet and handsome! Cannot even walk a foot without someone expressing how good looking he is and how beautiful his lines are! He is pretty far along on potty training he start whining and running in circles i swooped him up carried him to the elevator and he ran to the grass and big pottied! Made me very happy! He is sleeping in his crate right now! George was totally worth the wait! I will keep you posted! So far I am over the moon! George is soooooo much more than I expected! Your communication through the entire 8 weeks made me feel a part of my puppy's life! I cannot thank you enough for all of the pictures and updates! He truly is (as any dotting mother would say) the 'PICK OF THE LITTER'! He is at my feet sleeping crying aloud as he dreams which makes me sad that he misses his family! I have so much love to give this lil man and I know he feels it! It really was love at first sight! He is huge! Bigger than I thought he would be some people think he is 6 weeks others think 12...he is the hit of the 'hood' and already a mama's boy!I hope your wife is okay. And thank you so much for making 2 trips my sister and 11 year old nephew are soooo excited to come tomorrow! Already sent them videos of George and my mother is flying in from Maryland on Tuesday to hold him! He is soooo loved!Many many thanks for the joy in my home Byron!! Thank your granddaughters for a job well done! Many thanks! Merridith (Male pup from Tosha & Tru)

Hi Byron,

10 days of George and we are doing well! He is such a sweet, calm, independent puppy! I took him to the vet last week and he was 14.9lbs quite big for 9 weeks! The vet loved him...he got his second round of shots. She said he is a great looking pup! George has gotten his teeth and I have become his personal chew toy. I am crate training him and he makes it to 5:30a. He really is the talk of the neighborhood. Everyone snaps pics on their iphones of this handsome guy its funny. Cannot walk 2 steps without someone saying he looks like the "toilet paper pup" or he is the cutest puppy ever!

Byron,

Little Goldie is so cute and sweet, and so smart. She is very attached to us already. The kids (my daughter and her friends) play very well with her. She already knows somewhat about potty. She also fetched tennis ball for us. She ate and drank, and is now sleeping in the crate she came in.

Hi Byron,

Good to hear from you and glad that you and your family had nice holidays. Little MoMo (kids insist that we call her so) is doing really well. She has been potty trained, let's say 80 to 100 %. In fact, it only took her a few days to figure out. She holds in so well that I feel really bad when I can't come home earlier from work. When I get home, she goes out to let out a big puddle. She sleeps through the night already (about 7 hours). The trainer said it is quite amazing for a little 12-week old pup. And we were told by the trainer that MoMo has exceptionally beautiful form.

It only took the trainer a few minutes to teach her sit, down and come. She walks well on leash, and we have fun walking together around our little neighbourhood. I told her once to sit when there was a car coming, now she sits whenever (at least most of the time) she sees a car coming our way. She does keep us all very busy. But she is worth it. Best wishes, Eleanor

Hey Byron, Had a couple of pictures of Kobi I wanted to share w/ you. We are having lots of fun with her this summer and enjoying her playful puppiness. She is a real firecracker, that one: very independent and quite stubborn. But w/ that comes the fact that she is also very smart and has picked up on her manners quickly. We work on obedience and some retrieving nearly every morning. If I try to sleep in, she lets me hear about it! Kinda like raising kids, isn't it? Hope all is well w/ you and yours. Krysti Clift (Jul 21, 2011)

Yeah, I should clarify: I use her as my alarm clock so we have time to train and walk in the mornings B4 work - on the wkends, she gets to stay in her kennel until after I've had coffee. ... The last thing I need is to take orders from a bossy dog. By all means, you are welcome to use my pics or comments on your website. She truly is a lovely dog and we are having lots of fun with her. Best to you and yours. (Krysti Jul 25, 2011)

About a male pup from Meg and Kimo's 2008 litter. What a great looking "Dually", a spitting image of his dad Kimo. "Hi Byron and family - Clancy at 9mths is turning out to be very good with both upland & waterfowl. He is easy to train great with the family a lot of fun and great looking! He's what I was hoping for in a what you call a dually. Thanks, Fogarty's"

Below, another picture of Clancy this time on an Upland Game Hunt. He's got a wide handsome head, a wide otter's tail, and a rich dark brown coat with a good desire to please and retrieve. Just the kind of lab we are hoping for..

Pictured below is another "Dually", a yellow male pup from our Intn'l Champion Tosha and Deuce, our male son of 2x NAFC Ramblin Man. At the end of 2008, Deuce is one pass away from his Master Hunter Title. "Hello Byron, We took Guage out for his debut. He is young has alot to learn but did a great job flushing. He is not bothered by the gun, but he doesn't watch the bird and needs alot of retrieving skills. We are working with him with a pheasant wing and wire. He just doesnt watch the bird he is looking for the scent more. His name is Hunter's Gamblin Guage and the pictures are of Hunter and Guage after a hunt in Gunnison they were done by 11:00 am and they started at 8:00 am. Enjoy! Jayson, Melanie, Jordyn and Hunter Knight

Brief Description

Byron: I understand my brother Pat is coming up to get his puppy this weekend. He and his wife are very excited and I am very happy that he is doing business with you. Pat mentioned to me that you might still have female from the same litter. Is that right? If so, how much are you asking for her? Our dog Judge, see pic, just turned 3. He was from Tosha and Kobe's litter. He is a great dog; his owner doesn't go hunting enough, but he is a great family dog and we do get him out for a lot of hikes and almost daily runs. We thank you for such a good dog that has become part of the family. Daniel T. Foley FYI- We are happy to say that Dan and his family drove from Nevada and picked up their female puppy from us the week after his brother picked his male pup.

Spoke to the Vet who I gave your name to back in Sept/Oct when one of her clients lost there Choc lab, and she said they had gotten a pup from you and were thrilled. So are we! Sending along a few photos of Bailey at 5.5 months, and Bridger our older Lab and Bailey on Christmas Eve. Bailey has been a delight. We are heading north late this month to Montana and will have him neutered. Even though he would make a great daddy. Thank you so much. Evelyn

Hi Byron,

I heard about your puppies from our vet. in Ennis, Mt. She said she had seen one of your puppies the day before I was there - Said it was one of the best looking and well behaved lab puppies she had seen - We're really looking forward to seeing ours - Kay Bohlscheid
