Meet some of the puppies and their loving humans. We love getting pupdates from every family!

Above: Magnolia/Gus pup @ 12 months old, a member of the Treene family “He is a very loving and friendly dog, kind of the Will Rogers of dogs. Winston loves people-especially children.”

Angie – just a note to check in. Skipper (from Stella/Patton) is doing awesome. She is absolutely beautiful and learning very quickly. She is all puppy right now but her manners are coming along and she knows her commands. Potty and crate training were very easy and she was sleeping through the night after only three days at home. She only had two accidents in the house the first few days and then nothing. Everyone comments on what a perfect dog she is – like a postcard! At 17 weeks – 41 lbs! I hope you are well – thanks for breeding the best labs! Our life is so much better now that Skipper is in our lives. Oh – and the recruits going through Coast Guard Bootcamp love her! She comes to all my meetings at work with me!

Dear Angie,
So glad to hear from you. The car ride went very well. Bailey cried leaving your driveway and until we got toward town. However, once home she seemed to settle right in. So much so she slept through the night. We couldn’t believe it. I brought her to the vet on Wednesday. She was so impressed with Bailey. She asked where I got her from. I showed her all the paperwork you gave me. “You did your homework and how fortunate to have such a wonderful breeder,” was her response. She mentioned she wishes more breeders were like you because just that day she had to write two letters due the poor conditions of the puppies. Thank you again for such a beautiful dog!

Hi Angie!
I hope this email finds you well. Here is the one puppy that wasn’t picked and we were the blessed ones to get him. Stark is amazing! Potty trained the first couple of weeks. Took to his giant crate the first night. Never and I mean never complains, ever! Has not bitten nor destroyed anything in our home. Doesn’t bark, at all. Knows not to go in the kitchen. Very friendly and just wants to be with us. He gets to climb up on the leather sofa in our basement and just loves it. When we sit on the sofa he lies on us. Saw snow for the first time on Sunday and is addicted to it. People stop to let us know how handsome he is. Thank you for him. We wish you a beautiful Christmas and an incredible new year.
Sincerely,
Liza, Annie, Alex, Stark, and Stephan

Hi Angie,
Our beautiful Bentley boy is now 7 months old and still growing like a weed. At the beginning of May he was 72 lbs and I’m sure he has grown since then. The size of his paws still amaze me. For being the biggest/laziest puppy of the litter, he sure has gained some energy. He loves to go for a run with David and play fetch on the side of the house. He is turning out to have such an incredible disposition and we just love him to death. He is so gentle with our daughter Madison and we are excited to see how he does with the new baby in July. Anyway, I just wanted to share what a gorgeous dog Laurel and O’Riley have produced. He is a very handsome boy and has the look and personality that we were looking for. We are so happy to have him as part of our family.
Hope your family is well.
Stephanie and David

Angie,
It’s been a while since I sent you pictures so I had some catching up to do. As you can see by the pictures Abby is getting to be quite grown up.
We have had numerous people, including our vet ask us who the breeder is. Everyone comments on how calm she is and what a beautiful face she has. She has all the classic lab facial/head traits, but she has a feline look in her eyes (at least that’s what the vet said). To us, she is the most beautiful dog and the best thing we have done as a family in a long time.
The other night the boys fell asleep down stairs and we woke them up to go to bed. Upon climbing into bed, both of the boys realized they forgot to say “goodnight” to Abby. They were afraid she would be upset and not sleep well, so they got out of bed and went down stairs to say good night. My wife and I looked at each other and smiled thinking how perfect Abby was in our family.
Thank you….
Barry

Angie,
Bauer went to the vet today and weighs 22 lbs! Oink! The vet asked me how much I’m feeding him, haha. He takes after his mama! Both Dr. Latta and the tech were so impressed with Bauer. They kept commenting repeatedly on how gorgeous he was, what a beautiful head he has, what a nice calm pup he is. Then I would hear them go into the hallway and say, “That’s really a nice dog!!” I was so proud :).
Dr. Latta was also impressed with all of the testing you did on Bauer’s parents (heart, hips, etc.). She commented on how thorough you are, and that you were obviously a great breeder. They took your contact info because she often has people asking for breeder recommendations. Thank You!

Hi Angie,
Our Shiloh turned a year old on October 15th. He is doing really great, far more than we could have ever expected. Just wanted to say that we feel you are a wonderful breeder to have produced such a beautiful Labrador with a more than great temperament. We have 5 grandchildren that are with him often and he is just a gentle and loving pup. He is really calm and laid back with them and we feel these are all indications of good breeding. We are currently taking Shiloh to obedience school. He has become quite a good student, learning all his commands rather quickly. The trainers at the school love him as he does them. He really seems to love going to school. It seems that Shiloh loves life and everyone that comes into his. He is excellent with other people, cats, dogs etc. He waits for the mailman everyday- for him to pet him over the fence! The mailman said he is the only dog on his route that does this. We just can’t brag enough…thank you so much for our Shiloh! Wishing you Blessings,
Harry and Annette

Dear Angie,
Lexi is the best. She is seriously the best dog I have ever seen. I’m sure John will have more details about this, but Lexi has been a great hunting dog too. She goes duck, goose, quail and pheasant hunting. Of course the duck and goose are her favorite because she gets to swim.
Our little neighbor’s son is 2 and Lexi loves him. She gives him kisses all the time and he is just starting to learn how to play fetch with her. I still can’t believe she is 2 already. She is the perfect size dog. Big enough to be a big dog, but isn’t annoying big.
I’m glad to hear Tula is doing well. She is such an amazing dog and gave us the best dog we could ask for.

Watch “Scout,” an O’Reilly girl, hunting at six months

Dear Angie-
Well you won’t be surprised to know that Sadie (O’Reilly/Ruby pup) is perfect. The vet was very impressed with her and even said that he hasn’t seen a puppy that nice in a long time. When he first entered the room he looked and her and said “Wow! She is a nice looking lab, and she’s gonna be a big one.” She is 17 pounds now and seems to be handling the new food really well and potty training is going well. She is picking it up fast she hasn’t one time since she came home had an overnight accident. The vet was impressed with that too. Of course I probably just cursed myself and she’ll do it tonight-LOL. Keep in touch talk to you soon,
Sharron

Hi Angie!
Just figured I’d send you an update on my beautiful baby boy Boo!He’s from Ruby & O’Reilly’s Thanksgiving litter. He is absolutely beautiful and the world’s greatest dog. I can’t imagine our home without him! He currently weighs in at 85lbs! Boo is trained to our underground fence as well as to my mothers so he can run around on their farm! Training literally took 1 week and he knew the boundaries. He has trained so easily! His feet are HUGE! He actually makes my mothers Rottweiler look small. Boo loves riding, walking, running, and other dogs! There’s just one thing he despises… & that’s water! He’s also the worlds greatest watch dog! We fully intend on purchasing another dog from you guys, probably next year.
Thanks again for breeding the most gorgeous loyal babies out there!
Holly

Have a sweet day!
