Mark and Tina-

Dixie is doing great. She is growing super fast and is all legs. She eats like a horse and even tries to steal Masons food. We took her to the river this past weekend as you can see by the pictures and boy does she love swimming. She has also learned from Mason about following the four wheeler when we are driving from one place to another. She can even keep up pretty well. Hope everything is well and I will continue to send pics as she gets bigger.                                                                                                                                                                                                            -Kylie

Dixie is doing great. Typical lab tries to steal and run with it. She is getting big and trying to take on Mason every chance she gets. She has definitely got more personality now and boy you can sure tell she is a girl she talks back and has major attitude. If you point your finger at her to tell her no, she thinks that it is a game and tries to bite it. Even though she shouldn't be doing that it is really funny. I do have pictures but I haven't downloaded them from the camera yet but I will get them to you real soon. Let us know if you are ever coming this way I know you would love to see her.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        -Kylie

Hi Tina!  I've been working with Kimber a lot recently with a leash and she is getting so good at heeling. For a 6 month old puppy she's extremely obedient and surprisingly mellow :) She is a HUGE cuddler too. She can't sleep unless some part of her body is touching some part of mine. Hee-hee! We went to the vet last week for a check up and she is healthy and doing great and weighed 50.2 lbs! They get so big so fast! Have a wonderful day!
Amanda Duessel

Hi Tina! Hope you are enjoying the weather! Kimber got spayed and micro chipped on Wednesday. She is back to her normal spunky self now though! (A little too much!) Everyone who meets her comments on how beautiful she is and comments about her great coat! Kimber is 35.5 lbs now....they get big so fast! Well I hope you and Mark and the kids are having fun! I will send new pictures soon! Take Care!

Hi Tina! I'm sorry it has taken me a while to write you! I am working two jobs and taking two summer classes. But between Jason and I and our parents Kimber is having a blast! She is a great swimmer! She jumps off the side of the pool if we throw a ball in there and brings it back to us! She is so big now. Last time we were at home and weighed her she was 26lbs. She probably 30lbs or more by now! She is so smart too. I have been working with her a lot. She knows Sit, lay down, stay, shake, come, drop it, and roll over. She is such a quick learner. We take her to the park a lot and over to my friends houses who all have dogs. She is very well socialized. She loved 4th of July which we were hoping since Jason will take her hunting, the loud noises didn't seem to bother her. I have like 200 pictures of her so its hard to choose which ones to send you! I hope you are having a wonderful summer!!

Kimber is doing WONDERFUL! She is genius I swear! I taught her to "sit" and "lay down" already and she is almost completely potty trained! For the past three days she will go sit by the front door if she needs to potty but if I don't watch her close enough she will potty right there. Well today she has actually started to whine at the front door so I know she needs to go outside. She's amazing! I have taken her so many places too! We went to the park last week and got a kiddy pool which she loves! We had a play-date with a couple other dogs yesterday and we played in the mud, very fun! I attached a few pictures from last week. There will be plenty more to come I promise! Thanks again for everything!

Rio is doing great.  She's learned a lot, but we're hoping to get her doing even better when we are able to focus a little bit more on that.  She's pretty wild at times and loves to get wet and dirty the second we turn our heads, but she's awesome.  She just had her last shot (including rabies) this past week, so we hope to start taking her with us more places now. 
Talk to you later,
Brandon

Hey Mark & Tina,                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Life with Maggie is going great, she’s still adorable, mischievous, and a lot of fun.  She’s learning to sit and shake but we’re still working on the other commands, we’re looking at a class for sometime next month.  And she’s definitely getting big, we weighed her last night and she was 24 lbs.  We took her to the vet a couple weeks ago and the vet, admitting she was a lab person, said Maggie really looked good and had a well-shaped face.  She’s also getting a lot of attention wherever we take her!  Anyways, we hope all is going well with you and if we hear of anyone that is looking for a lab we’ll definitely mention you.                                                                                                                                                        Take care,                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Ryan and Elizabeth

Our boys are getting bigger and bigger and eating more and more furniture.  Are you certain there isn't some termite in their pedigree? Seriously though, we just love them!  Tater seems to be getting even bigger than Tot.  I guess we'll have to start feeding Tot too.  Our cats are still a little leery of getting too close lest they become the next meal.  Potty training is getting better each day, and sleeping thru the night is improving also.  Here's some pictures.  Tater laying on the A/C vent and Tot laying by the toilet.  He knows that thing is for some sort of use but he's just too little to drink out of it like dogs are supposed to do!   :-)

Dear Mrs. Booker,
I thought I would write to let you know that Samson is doing great. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of his photos, he has his own photo file on our computer. He has become a big part of our family. I don't know what I would do without him.  Over the winter we found out that Sam loves to play in the snow as much as he loves the water. He is so funny, I have never had a dog before that begs to have a bath. Or waits so patiently as you bath him. 
Sincerely,
Andrea Counts

Tina, how is every thing? I see all the puppies were sold. Good job, all the buyers chose the right breeder to buy from. Well the day we brought home our little boy we decided to name him Bubby instead of Yager. Pete felt like there was only one Yager and it needed to stay that way. We love Bubby. He is getting so big you would not believe it. I have been wanting to go take our family pictures and have some done of him and Austi together. They have become brothers. Bubby licks all over Austi's face and they love each other. He is a great addition to our family. Bubby went to one of the girls baseball games and there was a man there with a yellow lab girl.  She had a little pink collar on and looked a lot like one of yours. If so, she was well taken care of. Bubby has been a hit at the park with all the ladies already. Well hope your summer is going great and I'll send pictures of Bubby as soon as I can.

Just thought I would send along some picture of Maddi settling in.  She's getting so big so fast.  She took her first actual swim in water today.  She's waded since the day we took her home but today she swam....fun!  Her and Jackson are getting along great...lots of playing. She's learning to sit and come to her name and go to the door when she needs to go to the bathroom.  We're excited about how much she's learned already!

Hi Tina -
I haven't emailed in a while but Gibson is growing up to be a big, loveable friend.  He has grown up so much in the last couple months.  He is about 85lbs now and probably stands about 2.5ft tall. Not sure he will get much bigger but they say labs continue to grow until 2 yrs old. He is so mild mannered and sweet.  He doesn't chew furniture or go potty in the house.  He hasn't been in a crate since New Years (he was 8.5 months old) and is fully trusted to roam around the house while I am at work.  Goes to show what good breeding will result in.   I have attached a few pictures of him. There are two in there of Gibson and Cali (female yellow from same litter) when they were little.                                                  Julie McCandless

Hi Tina -
Just wanted to send a quick email to give you an update on Gibson.  He is growing so big and doing great.  He listens really well and has such a great personality.  I heard that some friends of mine are adopting Kali.  They are very excited about getting her and we are exciting that Gibson's sister will be right around the corner.  I've attached some photo's of Gibson.  We are painting our new house and he fell asleep on a can of paint. It was adorable.
Have a Great Day!
Julie McCandless
