Dear Amy,

Buster is wonderful!  I hope you don't mind, but I have changed his name to

Logan.  He was very calm when I picked him up in Philly.  There was another

couple that was picking up a Cavalier and when they got her out of her crate,

she was a mess!  I just wanted to let you know that your preparation of him for

the flight and for a new home was great!  His disposition is wonderful.  He is

certainly a cuddler.  Missy is doing puppy day care for me today so Logan is

with her gordon setter, Tucker.  She said the two of them were on the car seat

with Logan nestled right up to Tucker.  They have been playing outside with each

other.  Logan seems to lose his balance a little bit and then just rolls down

the hill. 

I will get the paperwork back to you shortly.  We will be visiting the vet

tomorrow (Saturday) just to make sure he made it through the flight ok.  But I

am sure he is perfect.  I also wanted to thank you for including the toys in the

crate with him.  Yesterday he wandered into the crate and just seemed to walk

around it once, but came out with the squeaky to.  My mother thought that was

soooo cute.  I put those toys in his crate with him to help him adjust to his new

surroundings.

Thank you again!  I will guarantee if I am in the market for a second puppy, I

will be in touch with you.  I will definitely recommend you to anyone else who

would like a "long dox"!

Letters from my Puppy People

Hi Amy,

Just wanted to give you an update on Aldo.  He is 9 months old now. 

I call him my "miniature" dachshund.  He is so handsome and people comment on his markings all the time.

He is a wonderful companion and ready to go anywhere with us.  He loves to play, go on walks, run around at the

dog park, and at the end of the day his favorite place is to next to me.  Thanks again for such a wonderful dog.

I have included a couple of recent features so you can see how handsome he is.

You are so nice Amy.  So down to earth.  Heather & I have been out there and talked to a few who seem to have quality dogs.  But as I have said before, you stand out - hands down!   

I really hope to stay close to you.  I think you have it really going on in the right way and we look to you as an inspiration and mentor. 

Maybe you can help us along the way with advise.  These other people are so stuffy and strange,  You have it all going on! & Heather & I feel comfortable with you and feel that you are the one that we trust and value. 

Stay in touch!

Hi there!

Just thought I would share a few photos of Chanel.  She certainly has a personality!  Very smart!  Very soft!  Can be very loving when she wants to!  She loves to eat her toys and spread the white stuffing everywhere!  Makes it look like it snowed in the house!  And loves a great belly rub after a long walk!

Thanks,  we love her very much!

Amy,

  oh my goodness he is so cute and adorable he is so precious. we just got home. vicky ignores him and wants nothing to do with him and sits in her crate and pouts and the cats are not sure yet what to think of him. he already bit into sammy's tail and now he is laying on my lap sleeping. i almost forgot how tiny these baby's can be. he cried at first but when we where on the highway he was ok. he had food and water and everything so he is fine. i am taking him to work tomorrow and to a friends house and then we have the weekend we can play and get used to each other. thank you amy he is adorable.

Hi Amy,

  I can't say enough about Flame, he is so beautiful, I just enjoy looking at him and he is in my lap much of the time.  We go for walks in the evenings and Flame walks so fast I have to pick up the pace, lol! He really enjoys the walks. People have said how calm and sweet he is, that he has obviously been raised with lots of love. One person who thinks all breeders are puppy mills said Flame obviously wasn't a puppy mill dog! I guess most people aren't comfortable getting a dog without seeing it first. I think all of your dogs look well-loved, any person should be proud to own any one of them, and I'm proud to be Flame's forever home. Oh, I am giving Flame a new name, I liked the name Kipling and I call him Kip. He really seems to like it!  I took some photos of Kip, aka Flame, in his new harness, also in his belly bands--I even have a belly band with a "flame" pattern on it!  I'll send the photos soon.

  Have a great day!    --Diane

Hi Amy,

Well Tucker is six months old, and I thought I would send you a couple pictures I took of him yesterday.  He is such an amazing dog.  He has a great personality!  He is very spoiled being the “little guy” in the house.  Many people have commented on how what a good temperament he has.  He loves walks, playing with my mom’s new puppy and going everywhere with us.  It breaks my heart on mornings I can’t take him to work with me and he is either sitting in his carrying case ready to go or trying to drag it to the front door. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the pictures.  We are so thankful we found you and Longdox.  We could not have asked for a more beautiful and loving dog.  Thanks!!

Tucker a Mary Kate and Flame puppy

You have been sent 5 pictures Of Kasey. He is the most wonderful little guy, has adjusted well with his pals and to John and I. Smart, only takes one time of showing and he has it down. To date he has only had three accidents in the house and is now going out most of the time on his own. Thanks for such a wonderful little boy..........

Hi Amy,

Thanks for your willingness to go out of your way to accommodate our wishes in purchasing our super sweet girl. We named her Roxie. We all made it home without any problems and she is adjusting terrifically. Davy has now decided that he is glad with our decision and loves her very much. She will be going to the vet Monday or Tuesday. She is everything you said she was and more. It looks like she loves her new home.

Thanks again, Mark, krista, kara and davy

I have been meaning to send you a photo or two of Logan (Lucy and Buster's litter from Sept '06) to show you how he is doing.  He is a great pup!!!  He is cuddly and loving as promised.  The entire family is very much attached to him after a somewhat rough beginning (not everyone was in favor of getting a puppy, but no one would know what to do without him now!).  This is from Logan's first cruise on the Chesapeake Bay.  He loves water so much I was afraid he might jump in, but he behaved beautifully.  He stood up to let the wind blow his ears around. 

I thank you for getting him accustomed to new people and surroundings from the beginning.  When I picked him up at the airport he started snuggling right away.  He was not traumatized at all by the flight and he still plays with the toys that were sent along with him.

Thank you for giving me and my family the opportunity to share our lives with Logan.  He has brought much joy and happiness to the household and we hope to enjoy him for years to come!

Yours truly,

Denise

Hi Amy,

Just wanted to give you an update on Cooper. He had his second vet visit today and received his shots and a clean bill of health. He’s almost doubled in weight since his first visit, so he’s right on track for growth. His behavior and personality are amazing – top notch breeding!  He’s very friendly with everyone, not timid to meet people or dogs for the first time, but definitely knows who his “mama” is!  He is clearly a confident and relaxed puppy – already sleeping in his crate at night, spends his days napping contentedly in his bed with no fuss, and does really well with leash walking in the morning and evening. And talk about cute! So far he’s kept his dark red color like his mom, and seems to have Hunter’s expressive eyes and handsome face. When I’m out walking with him, people actually stop their cars to comment on how adorable he is. He’s already learned his first trick – sit – and starts his puppy classes next Saturday.

Thanks again Amy – he is just a delight! As soon as he and I both have a chance to sit still for a minute, I’ll take some photos and send them your way.

Dear Amy,

It's been nearly three years since I adopted one of your pups, and he has proven to be one of the more amazing dogs that I, or anyone else, has ever seen. He has come to be loved by neighbors and strangers, and just about anyone else who encounters him.

In the litter, his name was Donny. I renamed him John Crichton and thought I might attach some photos of him.

I thought of it today because I was going to start a facebook profile for him.

Oh, and would you happen to know anything about what happened to his brothers and sisters? Have you ever gotten any photos of them? I wonder often if they look the same.

Thanks,

DJ Kinney
