UPDATE!!! Dated January 23, 2010:

I just wanted to let you know how perfect they are doing. Scarlet is a little spaz and juliet is a sweet and innocent princess but she loves to play. Juliet sits and plays fetch now and drops the ball for me which is so cute! Scarlet is still super kissy and juliet has started to be too. I am so happy we got Juliet she is probably one of the best dogs I have ever seen. She can do no wrong. Miss scarlet gets into everything but I try and keep her out of trouble. I quit my job to go to shcool full time and now I get to be a stay at home mom with the puppies. I have never been more happy. I wanted to send you some new pictures so you can see how cute they are. I am so grateful. I was looking at metro everyday wanting to get hom so bad because he still hadn't had a home yet! I am glad to see he found one!

Hi Cathy!

I know its been awhile since I wrote you but i have been busy with school, work and of course the puppies. They are doing wonderful. They are very happy and definately know who their mommy is(me). They follow me around everywhere and love to give me kisses. They know how to sit now and almost lay. They are so smart! My whole family loves them even my parents jack russel who doesnt like any dogs loves to play with them. I am so grateful for them. They make a bad day good and always know how to make me laugh. Scarlet is growing like crazy and people stop me all the time asking me if im going to breed her because she is so pretty. Juliet is a cuddle bug and loves to be under my blankets. She also loves to play fetch with these mini tennis balls we got her. It is the funniest thing. Anyways I just wanted to let you know how things were going and say thank you so much for my babies! Oh and here are some pictures you can put on your testimonials page and this mesage if you'd like. :)

Thanks,

Fallon & Zac

HI THERE!! I honestly cannot thank you enough for Elvis. It has almost been a year since I've had him, and he's enriched my life in so many ways. He is doing wonderful, happy and healthy. In May my mom purchased another Chihuahua from a friend, but I've sworn when I get another baby, I will come to you guys. Her name is Nahla and she adores Elvis. Elvis is my best friend, my son, my everything. Attached are a few pictures. THANKS AGAIN!!!

Hi There -

This is Caitlin and Thomas, the ones who bought Gemini aka Cuda.

I am so sorry I havent emailed in a long time. We are now married and a lot less busy!! Which means more picture taking of our sweet, sweet baby. We love cuda so much, he is such a delight. I cant imagine life without him. I really want another one!! I think he could use a brother :-)

Here are a couple recent pictures of him. I am hoping to take more in the near future.

Hope all is well with your doggies!! We may need to buy another!!

A testimonial from a client dated August 23, 2009:

Good morning Cathy!

We just wanted to send you a few pictures of Houston and let you know how much we are enjoying him. He weighs about 7 pounds now and seems to be in great health. Houston is a great little traveler; every time he hears the noise of keys he’s at the door thinking he is going with us. He also loves to play chase around the house, lie in the sun and go for walks. We can’t imagine what we would do without him! We were wondering if you ever sold his sister, Hallie? Hope all is going well with you!

A testimonial from a client dated July 21, 2009:

Hi Cathy!

I wanted to make sure that I had the opportunity to write you and let you know how well things are going with my new little man, iPod! I've had him with me since early March of this year and I honestly can't remember how I lived with out him. He is a permanent presence in my life and he simply makes me feel that it's impossible to have a bad day when he's around. I'm attaching one more photo for you to this email of us just in case you need it.

I also wanted to make sure you know how much I appreciate everything you did to make sure iPod and me found each other. It was tough for me in the beginning because I knew that I was moving to Portland from Pennsylvania in February, but I wasn't sure if I'd have an apartment right away or if I'd need to live with my parents for a little while. You helped ease my mind right off the bat because you allowed me to put a small deposit on iPod from Pennsylvania and you really have no idea how happy that made me.

Then, when I finally got to Portland, I made sure my mom took me right over to meet my new little guy. The first time I saw his tiny little body barking at me (because after all, he didn't know me yet) I knew he was for me. He was so little with the perfect big attitude to match! Unfortunately, my fear that I wouldn't be able to move into my apartment right away happened, which prevented me from being able to take him home right away. Cathy, again, you came to the rescue by allowing me to pay for him in full, but agreed to let him stay with you where he was comfortable until I got all my loose ends tied up. It turned out to be almost 5 weeks before I was able to come and get him, and you never once made me feel rushed or guilty for taking so long. You are a true dog lover and it was evident by how far you were willing to go to make sure iPod was always the first priority, even if it was an inconvenience. When we finally came to get him, you gave me some tiny little toys that he still plays with today and a little bed and blanket. You have been so far above my expectations when it came to working with a breeder that I will try to talk anyone I know into getting their puppies or adults from you!

Thank you so much Cathy! I love iPod so much and you brought us together!

Warm Regards,

Jennifer McDonald

A testimonial from a client dated June 16, 2009:

Hi Cathy!

It’s been a couple of weeks since we talked and I just wanted to drop a line and tell you how amazing my little monster is and thank you for being so great through the whole process. From day one, after I inquired about Genie, you did everything you could to keep me as involved as you could, from sending photos, to videos, or just by sending a short e-mail telling me how she was doing. You answered all of my questions and on the day that the baby boarded a plane to come across country to me you made sure that I had all of the information so that I could track her progress throughout the day. And what a wonderful little girl I have now! She is absolutely gorgeous! She’s so sweet and spunky, coming home to play with her after work is just the highlight of my day and seeing that little tail wagging always brings a smile to my face. It’s obvious from all of the times we talked (e-mailed) that you absolutely adore your babies and take the best care possible of them and I think that anyone who receives one of your little one’s is lucky to have a best friend for life. Thanks again and the next time I want a Chihuahua, I know who to come too! I took a couple of new pictures to show you. Talk to you later!"

Another testimonial from a client dated 11.17.08:

Hi Cathy... sorry I was gonna email you a few days ago, but life gets in the way...lol... Tinkerbelle is doing fabulous. She loves to chew -trying to teach her what is ok and what is not- and play. Her little tail goes a mile a minute when she sees us.

I have a few pics of her, but she is not one to stay still to let you take a picture of her. There are a few of her in her halloween shirt, as you can see, she tried to take it off... and she succeeded....lol... Then there is a picture of her asleep under the table at a party we went to, and the others are of her on my husband, Tony's, shoulder.

She figured out how to climb out of her pen within 2 weeks (she's so smart) but for fear of her hurting herself, I leave her pen door open, so she comes and goes as she pleases, and she likes to sleep on me. She follows me everywhere.... even when i get up in the middle of the night, she follows me- half asleep- to the bathroom, and curls up by my feet on the rug..... poor thing is so sleepy i usually carry her back to bed.... she's too funny!

she loves to play hide and seek with my husband, when he gets home from work... if he doesn't take her out the second he walks in the door.... she cries to get his attention.... then he stops what he is doing and they go run around and play in the yard. .. she thinks that daddy was put on the earth to play- just with her..

[H]eare a few pics and i promise i will send you more around christmas time...as i am sure she'll be fun with all that wrapping paper!! Oh and she LOVES string cheese, so we taught her to sit, pretty fast, b/c she wanted that cheese really bad!... and now she knows, w/out us having to even tell her, that she needs to sit, before she gets her little bite. I will email you in 6 weeks or so with more pictures. Have a great holiday.

Sincerely,

Shannon Gardner

A testimonial from one of our clients dated 11.06.08:

"Hi Cathy

I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that Teddy is doing awesome!!! He and Punkin are inseperable these days and are really enjoying life together. They are 2 very spoiled little babies that is for sure. My husband is such a baby with them and has grown so attached to them it's pretty funny as he's always been a big dog person.

Teddy has also grown to love car rides and whenever we take off he jumps right in and is ready to go which is so cute!!! I hope all is well with you and thank you again for our precious babies we love them alot!!!

I go on your website and play your videos for them and they get so excited when they hear your voice and they love to watch the puppy's playing on the videos it's really cute!

Take Care

A testimonial from one of our clients dated 11.17.08:

Cathy,

Robert here with Echo (aka. "Sammy")

Shortly after getting Echo home, we decided to name her “Chanel” (as in Coco Chanel); however, within just a few short days her character really blossomed, showing that she was anything but ‘glamorous haute-couture’. Rather, she displayed her independence of all things luxurious and proved to be incredibly adventurous. (Much to my delight!)

One night while relaxing on the couch, I realized that she’d been gnawing on my finger. Her teeth were so tiny that they felt like thorns. Because of her build, gate, and bullish character traits, I exclaimed in my best high-pitched south Jersey accent, “Ya mess with da Bull and ya get da thawns!”

Of course, this had Tina laughing and reminded me of the name Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano…so, we started calling her “Sammy”.

Here’s how her typical day plays out:

7:00 a.m Wakes up with the family. All the four-legged family members are led outside to go potty.

7:30 a.m. We load the crew up in the car and all go for a drive through the local Starbucks drive-through. Much to the amusement of the folks at Starbucks!

8:00 a.m. Everyone eats breakfast and prepares for the day.

Noon By noon, the four-legged ones and I lay down for a mid-day siesta.

Afternoon Most of the afternoon, depending on the weather, is spent playing in the backyard…chasing frisbees, stuffed animals, tennis balls, etc.

Evening After a nice big dinner, we all turn quite slothly

Night Everyone is let out for the last potty of the day and prepares for bed. Sammy curls up by Tina’s legs. Gisele snuggles under my arms. Lucky beds down next to my legs…and Dijit, well, he sprawls out wherever he can get comfortable!

As with Gisele, she loves warmth so she has several sweaters that she runs around in. She can be found either near the living room heater or buried in the various blankets lying around the living room.

Here are a few pictures that I think you’ll enjoy! Oh, by the way….she LOVES giving KISSES!!!

Cheers,

Robert & Tina

A testimonial from one of our clients dated 11.02.08:

"Hello Cathy, I don't know if you remember me or are going to remember me but my boyfriend and I bought a chihuahua from you June of 2006. Let me just tell you I will never forget the day I brought my little angle face home! Just so you can get some idea of what puppy I am exactly talking about you had named her Buffy and her color is fawn.

Now I grew up with dogs and have loved them my whole life but I have never loved one like My Callie. As you may have guessed I changed her name to Callie. Her first day and night spent with me was like she had been with me my whole life. She did not cry once and didn't have any desire to leave my side. Callie is so full of love and I swear she does not have a mean bone in her body, and i can honestly say I never imagined such a tiny little thing could act and do the same things that a big dog could do. She loves to play fetch and everyone just adores her. She honestly is the light of my life and i consider her my kid..... ha ha that must sound silly but it's true.

We have taken such good care of her and she receives more love then anyone or anything could ask for. I remember the day I picked her up you said "You know once you get one you will want more," boy is that true! I have considered getting one for a while and if or most likely when i do I plan to get another from you...I have attached a couple of picture of Callie so I hope you enjoy!

Sincerely,

Jena Wittig"
