The weather was just fabulous compared to the big rain storm we had yesterday. Took the dogs swimming off the bridge near the house and we all had a wonderful time :-)

Kadnook Christmas Letter

KADNOOK CHRISTMAS LETTER 

 

Christmas letter (pdf)

Hi From SC

Hi Don
 
So me made it to SC !!! perfect weather all the way. Today its a bit grey and rainy here but still quite warm :-)
 
We had the most amazing morning- we took Noah to be evaluated by a friend of Debbie's who is an ex-K9 police officer and now runs a very successful business training dogs for S&R , tracking, trailing etc.
.
Noah was just the best - so good that Jeff said that he was willing to buy him on the spot :-) Of course I cannot sell my Noah - because he is priceless (as you know) LOL
 
We are taking Noah for another session next Tuesday and hopefully can fit in a few more sessions before we leave on the 29th.
 
He has a wonderful facility here and hopefully I will be able to bring Noah back for another course in the summer.
 
Take care and more later

Keys is doing well

Hi Don,


Keys is doing well. Indeed, no sign of porcupines (good for the porcupines!) Key walks well on leash and is quiet in his crate in the basement thru the night. He loves his outdoor kennel in the daytime. We had to take him off Eukanuba  awhile back...just did not agree with him. We think he is going to be a big dog...but he is super gentle.  We ended up going with the Petsecure Insurance for now. Couple of pictures attached. By all means, please drop in if you have time on your way through to the US.


Regards;


Denis and Joan

Gunny Pics

Attached are a few more photos of Gunny retrieving snowshoe hares..He has 46 game retrieves under his belt as of Dec 9th…He is the best gun dog I have ever owned! He quarters perfectly when hunting upland, he heels perfectly for sneak and shoot and he can sit in a blind for longer than I can! All this at 18 months!  I had him in for his booster shots last week, My vet said he is the perfect specimen of a Lab; he is 74 lbs, well muscled out, with a perfect coat..

 

Thanks and Merry Christmas,

 

Rod

Daizy update

Hi Don .. Yeah I had been just thinking the same thing! Well I have to say that we are totally smitten, head over heals in love with our Daizy!! She is quite a character! Coming along nicely .. Thank goodness as she had taken a shine to my kitchen cupboards and the shingles on the house!!

She is just as smart and pretty as she is stubborn! We turn lots of heads and get lots of compliments (which hopefully you reap the results of). I will get a updated pic to send in the next few days.

How are all your gang doing? Any puppies? Paula & Donnie (Brie's humans) are in touch and we sometimes get together which is nice. All the best to you, Peirette, and family. Hope to talk over the holidays:) cheers,

Lois & Daizy

Rouge Update

Hey don,
 
Just a quick check in, rogue is doing great, she's calmed down a lot!  She's
floating around 65lbs, perfect weight for her size the vet says.
 
Just wondering when you would recommend getting her spayed? She's almost 16
or 17 months now, so after Christmas?
 
No new pictures, the camera on my phone is terrible (I scratched up the lens
in my pocket, lol).
 
Thanks for everything don!

Bigby update

Hi Don,

It has been a long time since I've given you any updates on Bigby and I've been meaning to for some time.  Hard to believe he's almost 5 years old.

Bigby's the first dog I've ever owned, and he's been an absolute joy.  I've never met a Lab I've didn't like, and I think I'll be a Lab owner for life.  He's a great companion and It's become a regular event to go to Rockwood Park or the Nature Park on weekends to go for a stroll and take photos.  He's great with children and always eager to please anyone he encounters.

Anyway, I thought I'd send a couple photos from the summer.

Trooper

Hi Don,

it's Benjamin up in Hopedale. Trooper has been an absolute pleasure. We enjoy  her tremendously. I have just a quick question with regards to Trooper and swimming. She loves the water and is an amazing retriever - as determined as anything I've ever seen. However, as winter fast approaches and our temperatures dropping with every passing day I was wondering if there is a general rule of thumb with regards to when swimming is done for the season. Will the dog simply not dive in when it's too cold? Her determination says no .... But with air temperature in the minus ten celcius with wind chill in the minus twenty range my wife and I wonder if we should keep her away from water until its frozen. (This is salt water we are talking about too by the way) Any insight on the subject would be great.


Thanks
Benjamin

Levi

Hi Don

 

Very nice to hear from you as I have been meaning to send you pictures of Levi for the last few months, I just don't know where the time goes!!  Levi is doing very well, he is an awesome pup!!  He is a very happy loving dog and I must say very handsome as well!  He had a wonderful summer swimming at the beach almost everyday, he just loves the water.  I have attached two pictures for you, one from the beach around the end of August and the other from this fall at our house, he stole a yellow tomato from the garden. 

 

We will hopefully be coming thru your way next month with Levi and we would love to stop in for visit. 

 

I will gather more pictures and send them along in the next couple of days.  I hope all is well with you, hi to Pierrette and all the dogs!!

 

Talk soon

Karen

Thanks for helping my youth group with your DoinDogs Kennel webpage

Hi Don,
 
I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for your webpage
(http://www.doindogs.com/links.shtml). My name is Beth, and I volunteer with
a youth group where we have different activities for middle school aged
kids. Next weekend, we are having an event to celebrate Animal Shelter
Appreciation week. Your page had some great dog information that we will be
able to share with the kids. Just wanted to say thanks for all the help! :-)
 
 
One of the girls in my group, Mia, found a great resource on pet safety
while traveling:
Could you add this to your list of resources? I thought it would make a
great addition to your page for others to learn how to keep their pets safe.
 
If you have any advice for the kids about pet care, I'd love to share it
with them. Thanks again, and happy Thanksgiving next week!
 
Take care,
Beth

Stella

Hi Don,

 

We LOVE Stella! She is doing great. We had her out this afternoon and she ate a good supper. She is so well-behaved that you wouldn't even know she was in the house.

 

Attaching a few pictures, I will be in touch.

 

Thanks again,

Jonathan, Ann & Evan
