Puppy Parent Emails

	We are always grateful for the emails with comments and updates that we receive from our new Puppy Parents. So, we have created this page so that we can share with you our "gloating pride" in our wonderful puppies for becoming such outstanding members of the new families they have joined. We hope that you get as much enjoyment from these little snip-ets and photos as we have.

	This was taken Christmas morning. It is Anakin(Parents Miss Shelby Kate and Smokey Mtn Jake II), our little Alexzandria, Me, and Padme'(Parents Miss Lady Kate and Little Ace). They are the two of the best beagles that we could have ever asked for. They love there new little sister. We can not wait till she is crawling and then walking to chase them around they all are going to have so much fun. Thank you again for our Padme' and Anakin. And Alexzandria thanks you too she loves them all ready.   Jeanine Christmas 2011

	Hello Elaine, We purchased a lemon/ beagle from you about this time last year. We live in New Hampshire. He was our first puppy ever; my 3 year old daughter and wife absloutely love and adore him. We named him Parker. He is a great dog!!! Parker is very loveable and cuddly and will do anything to please you. My sister also has a tri-color beagle and her name is Amber. Amber and Parker love to run, play and wrestle with each other when ever they are together.   I just wanted to take a moment to update you and thank you again for giving us the opportunity to make the addition of Parker to our family. Hope all is well with you and your family!   Respectfully, Dan Bathalon Parker ~ October 2011

	Padme' and Anakin just love there new little sister Alexzandria. Padme' just turned 4 on the 20th and Anakin turned 3 on the 31st. They are both doing great and are wonderful with Alexzandria. Thank you for the two best beagles in the world.   Jeanine July 2011

	Hi Elaine, We got Sampson from y'all almost 2 years ago and We are absolutely in LOVE with our boy Sampson! He is constantly doing something that just makes us laugh so hard! He is the sweetest and most loving dog ever! We couldn't have asked for a better dog, thank you so much and hopefully we can give Sampson a brother or sister beagle someday soon! Take care!

	Elaine, We have had Shiloh for a year this past March. We can't imagine our lives without this beautiful, energetic, and loving beagle. Shiloh is very loving and commands to be held like he is still a tiny puppy on a regular basis. He is such a snuggle bug and refuses to go to sleep at night unless he is laying in someone's arms at bedtime. Our son Blake and Shiloh are the best of friends. Anyone that sees Shiloh can not stop complimenting how beautiful he is and how sweet his personality is. He won a local pet photo contest here at home and was placed in a calendar. He is just too adorable to resist. Thank you so much for this beautiful beagle who is forever in our hearts and a part of this family.     Again, thank you. GOD BLESS YOU!!

	Elaine, Just took this picture of Eddie, our wonderful puppy we came to Caulderwood and picked up as a tiny 6 week old munchkin almost 6 years ago. He continues to be one of the most incredible dogs ever - very smart, sweet, loving and, of course, gorgeous. He is everything that you told us he would be and much, much more. We thank you, once again, for the great quality of beagles you have. Just thought you would enjoy seeing Eddie after all these years. He stays about 30 lbs., is sleek and shiny as a satin ribbon and romps and plays in our fenced half acre from morn till night, then cuddles with me in a chair on the deck or on the sofa with Jay. He IS a much loved little fellow. All the best, Gail Diederich from Tampa

	We purchase a puppy from you about three years ago and I want to tell you a little about Zack and send you pictures of him. He has a wonderful personality and likes to sit in my lap and get kisses on the side of his face. He doesn’t like to kiss back but he expects his. He is the only boy in the house now for we lost our oldest beagle on 11.15.10 It was a very hard time for us. Zack was the one who let us know something was wrong with Blue. Zack is very loved and spoiled along with our Mini Schnauzers who are girls.  I hope to breed him  so I can have one of his pups maybe two. Thank you for such a beautiful an wonderful dog who I call one of my kids.   Mrs. Kathy Peterson

	Lady Bailey Anne (Bailey) is 4 1/2 years old now. She just had another perfect vet visit. Our daughter Emily received Bailey as her 15th birthday present. Emily has just finished her first year of college and is back home with Bailey for the summer. Caulderwood was recommended to us nearly five years ago by a friend from my wife's work in Brentwood,TN. Your website picture of this little female "runt" of the litter stole our hearts. We contacted you and have been so pleased in every way. Bailey has always had Pro-Plan on your recommendation. She lives in the house and runs a large fenced back yard. She chases squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and birds multiple times each day. Her health, activity, weight, and coat are optimal for a 4 1/2 year old. More than all of this, though is the blessing Bailey is to our whole family and our friends who enjoy knowing her.   This is Bailey at age 4 in our back yard. She loves running across the back yard in the snow. I will try later to find an indoor shot from this summer so you can see her beautiful coat and coloring. Her petite size in maturity is exactly what we hoped for. She was smaller (runt) than her siblings, but has always been robust and energetic (although at times she settles for hours like a regular lounging hound). Her vet always remarks at her great "personality" and health. Her new favorite past time is watching out the window until a squirrel, chipmunk or rabbit crosses the back yard. She then bays to get out. I will try to find the picture of her with front paws reaching way up on the tree with a chipmunk 20 feet above her. We have never hunted with her, but great breeding is evident. She looks like a classic hunting champion in that pose. We cannot imagine a sweeter canine family member. Mark & Pat Russell Emily and Nathan Clarksville, TN

	HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOKI...   Loki Budny @ 1 year old May 17, 2011

	Hi Elaine,   At 4 months old, Rio is doing fantastic! Mike and I love having him around, and he has really made our house feel like a home.  He's pottytrained, and is making good progress with "sit" and "down."  He's always happy and loves to fetch, chew on sticks, and play with other dogs.  He's never aggressive, and he's so smart!  Training him has been much easier than we had originally anticipated.  He's adjusted really well to our household, and he has made adjusting to him a breeze.  He's started to lighten up in his hind legs, and his coloring is absolutely perfect.  I attached a couple pictures of him for you!  Thanks again for giving us such a well-behaved and beautiful beagle.   Mike and Alyssa Healy

	Hi Elaine, Wanted to send you this cute picture of our little “Annie Laurie” and her best friend Tessie the Chessie. They are just perfect for each other. Tessie has taken Annie under her wing and Annie sees to it that Tessie gets plenty of exercise!! (grin) Anyway, thanks to Caulderwoodkennels we have lots of sunshine in our lives. Thank you! Wendy & Jake   Rogersville

	Hello Elaine This is Julie McJunkin. My family bought a tri colored beagle from you in December. I was just writing you to let you know Scout is doing great. We love him so much. He's gotten big so fast. The boys and him are such good friends. I can see a life long bond between them already. We've made sure to keep him updated in all his shots and vet visits. Each time he goes the vet is very impressed with him. Scout is about 80% house broke and completly crate broke. He knows 3 commands. Sit, crate, and down. He is a very smart dog. He's very protective of my youngest son Daren. If Daren goes outside he always goes out with him and stays right by his side. He's a very loyal dog. I'm attaching a few photos of him I hope you get them. Thanks again for a wonderful dog. He's beautiful and has such a precious heart. Julie McJunkin and family

	Elaine,     I have been meaning to send you pictures of our Gunner for a while. Sorry it has taken me so long to do so. As you can see he is quite the clown. He is absolutely my best friend!  An angel in our family. Grandbabies wouldn't know what to do without him. Totally amazing just how smart he is. You can see his little mind working when ever your sad or happy. I still believe somehow he communicates with the grandchildren.  I continue to tell everyone how you helped us in adopting the newest member of our family and how we will be coming to you when we're ready to adopt again.  I thank God for you and for giving us the chance to be this little guys parents. And as always in this families eyes your simply a miracle worker!!   God Bless Wendy

	Dear Elaine, I wanted to give you an update on Miss Dixie’s adorable little boy #2. We named him Cody. I adopted him in December 2009 when I was pregnant and ever since my daughter was born they have been inseparable. He is the most loving pet we could have ever asked for. Thank you for our sweet baby boy.   Candice Turner

	Hi Elaine, Its has been a very long time since I last spoke to you.  Hopefully you will remember who we are.   We are the couple who purchased the puppy that Miss Tawny Rose had, she was the only little girl from the litter... it was 3 years ago.  We named her Lucy.  She came to live with us in Asheville, NC.    She has been absolutely wonderful!  We couldn't ask for a better dog.  I am so sorry that I really haven't kept you up to date with her.  She is very smart and knows so many tricks, and knows when she does wrong,  and knows when she is a good girl.  She has her fears though,  she isn't too fond of the car even though it takes her to fun places like hiking and good outside fun for the most part.  Of course we have those vet visits too but she seems to like her vet very well.  We are still taking her to Pet Smart to the Banfield clinic.  We have since moved out of Asheville to a home out in the country.  She has a beautiful fenced in yard equipped with a doggie door so she can go out on her own free will.  Of course, She is a bit of a princess by not wanting to get her toes wet when its raining or snowing.  She spends a lot of time inside watching animal planet.    We absolutely love her and will come back to Caulderwood for our next beagle!  Hopefully you will still have beagles!   Thanks Jennifer Guyer

	The Cornell Boys - Christmas 2010 HI Elaine,   Our family wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas, and send  an update on our 'boys'.   Last June (2010) we adopted two of your beagles for our two small sons. We named the pups, Copper and Hunter. I wanted to let you know what a delight the pups have have been. They are soo amazingly good with our boys...always patient and playful, and tolerant of many hugs and kisses. They have brought much joy and love to our family, and we thank you for breeding such special pets!! I have attached a recent photo of  'all our boys'....we used it as our Christmas card photo this year!!   Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Allyson Cornell

	Hi Elaine! I hope things are going well in East TN!  Dennis and I wanted to send you an update of our little girl Willow.  She is now 4 months old and full of life!  Willow is so energetic and feisty, but so loving towards everyone she meets.  She loved her older brother Wrigley the moment we got home.  Everywhere he goes, she goes - everything that he does, she does - it's too cute!  They love to take naps together, as you can see from the picture!  We are getting ready for Christmas and they were both happy enough to pose in front of the Christmas tree.  Thanks again for breeding such a wonderful dog.  She has brought so much fun to our family and we love that Wrigley has a little sister he can play with now! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! (2010) -- Stacy Winn

	Dear Elaine,    I just wanted to write and tell you how Shiloh is doing. He went for his 9 week shots and check about two weeks ago.  The vet said  he was in perfect health.  He also said that he was a perfect representive of his breed and was truly a beautiful puppy.  Everyone we meet comments on how beautiful is markings are.  Not only is he beautiful he has the sweetest personality.  He is a little snuggle bug!! He love to snuggle and sleep.  He also loves to play with our cat.  The two of them together is hilerious. Thank you so much for such a wonderful dog.  I don't know how we made it without him.  He is such a part of the family.  Oh, and he loves the ballfield.  The kids have a fit over him and if he isn't there to cheer them on they want to know why.  He is also, doing great with training.  He is a smart little fellow.  Again, thank you for such a wonderful dog.  He has helped to heal us and ease the pain of losing our beloved boxer and he has brought life back to this house.  Our cat is happy for the first time since we lost our dog in October. They were so close and now he has a playmate again.  We were worried but they get along great.  They love to wrestle and play together.  It is so cute!! :) I can't thank you enough.  Here is a recent pic of Shiloh.   Sincerley,       Zane, Christy, Blake, and Shiloh Hey Elaine!  We just wanted to update you on Shiloh.  He is doing GREAT!! He has to be the most precious dog!!!  We are so blessed to have him in our family.  Everyone we run into with him has a fit over how adorable he is. Today we took him to a pet fair in our county.  They had a little pet parade and Shiloh won a little award for being so adorable!!!  He is three months old today and is precious!!  Thank you so much for such a wonderful puppy!!!  I will attach some photos.  One is from the ride home when we picked him up from you.  I have continued to take a weekly photo to document how much he as grown.  Again, THANK YOU!! :)                 Zane, Christy, Blake, Shiloh and Patches P.S.  Shiloh and the cat (Patches) are so funny together!! They are becoming fast friends.

	Dear Elaine, My name is Chelsey Mishra and you sold my husband, Mark, and I a beagle in mid January who was Shelby's female #1 and we named Penny! I wanted to write to you and give you an update on how Penny is doinng. She is one of the best dogs I have ever had and is my first beagle, but I am now obsessed with beagles haha. We are so happy we picked her and love that she is a red and white beagle which is so unique. Everyone who sees her comes up to pet her and thinks she is the cuttest beagle they have ever seen. In fact, some of our neighbors who we really didn't talk to much are now all the time talking to us and Penny, and everyone comments on how happy she looks. Every time we go to the vet, our vet and all the workers love to see Penny and say how she is just the cuttest beagle they have ever seen. I take Penny on 2.5 mile walks five days a week, which she LOVES. I guess she is a bit spoiled, she has lots of toys and bones to keep her occupied. She is a very smart dog, she is now almost 6 months old, and she already knows how to sit, stay, come and other words like "bedtime" and "no". She does have a true beagle personality though and is still a little stuborn. We really love Penny and she is sooo sweet and beautiful! She has become a real part of our family and we thank you! We have attached some pictures for you to see. Thanks again for such a wonderful family friend! Sincerely, Chelsey Mishra

	Elaine, Attached are a few of our favorite Jasmine pics.  She's photogenic and loves posing for the camera. Micah and Hiroko Jasmine is the beautiful daughter of our Miss Dixie and Mr. Bentley. Born 8-11-2008

	Hi Elaine, .....Lincoln is a great dog, we couldn't imagine our lives without him, of course every now and then we let him go to Puppy Playland to run around with the other dogs which he loves!! He loves to cuddle on the couch with his mom and of course watch football with dad.  I have attached some recent picts we have of him.  He's just the most handsome dog ever! Thanks again and we'll keep in touch, Gretchen

	A Short Dog Story by Patrick Finneran March 29, 2010   Caulderwoods Miss Lily Anne has come to live with us   Come the end of March, she will have been with us for a year. How she came to live with us is quite a story. Oh, before I forget, I ought mention that Lily is a dog. A Beagle to be specific.   Back in '07 at age 72, I was diagnosed with Non-hodkins Lymphoma of the stomach, and began a long, arduous, series of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. When it began I weighed in at close to 200 pounds, and stood five-foot ten. When I was finally declared, "cured" I'd lost a good 100 pounds and an inch or so in height.  Much of this time I was in hospital confined to bed. When I couldn't take in enough nourishment to counter the weight loss, my body began to consume itself. Consequently my muscles and body atrophied to something akin to a ten year old boy's physique. At 200 pounds I wanted to loose about 20 or so pounds, but this was ridiculous! What has all this got to do with a dog? I'm getting there.   Ever since I can remember my family have had dogs- Cocker Spaniels, English and Irish Setters, German Shepards. I can even remember each one's name. So dogs were a big part of my life.   When I was finally released from hospital, during one of my many follow-up visits with my Oncologist, Dr. Mary Lou Mayer, she urged me to get out and walk to rebuild my body. I mentioned to her that I was thinking about getting a dog. To my surprise far from discouraging the notion,she urged me to do so. Then began a short discussion about what I should get. I allowed I was seriously considering a Bearded Collie. She regarded me for a moment and then urged me to consider a Beagle. The thought had never entered my mind.   Part of a novelist's life is spent in research, so I launched into a thorough study of the two breeds. Although I was predisposed to the Bearded Collie, I soon learned from my research that our two physical conditions and opposite temperaments would not be good for either of us. So, I began a search for a reputable Beagle breeder in the Indianapolis area. Alas there are none. The closest seemed to be in the northern third of the state or in Kentucky and Tennessee. This led to an Internet search for a kennel and a dog for sale. After several days of searching I saw a photograph of Caulderwood's Miss Lily on an Internet site offering AKC Beagles for sale. "Miss" Lily had just turned four, and had been bread twice. She looked to be just mature enough to be more docile and ready to "settle down"with a family.   Following a fair amount of email correspondence, I decided to purchase Miss Lily. The Kennel owners, Gary and Elaine Nichols, would not ship her so it was decided that I would drive down to Greeneville, Tennessee to complete the deal and return home with Lily. It was a good seven-hour trip each way.   The Caulderwood kennel is located out in the rolling hillsides of Tennessee, and after much searching, I managed to find the place. Turns out it was a very "small" operation- few dogs, each had open space to play and run to their heart's content. Obviously not a puppy farm operation! Lily proved to be a delight from the moment we met. With a few papers signed, and the asking price handed over, Lily and I were soon on the way back to Indianapolis. Needless to say we took advantage of each rest area, and I provided a bowl of water with each stop. She proved a good traveling companion, curled-up on the passenger seat next to me not much interested on looking out the window- just content to be patted and talked to as we made the long journey. By the time we got home we were fast friends, and it was obvious Lily considered me her champion and protector.   Lily has proven to be a perfect member of the family. She has taken to each of our adult children and their children. She is a loving, trusting companion, loves to be taken for walks, and when the evening comes, she insists of sharing my chair with me while I watch TV or read- if my evening is too busy she will go snuggle up next to my wife in her chair. Lily has another advantage, she's the perfect size, sort of a  "medium size" and has proven to be the most intelligent dog I have ever owned. She quickly picked up on our verbal commands and hand signals. To top it all off, her face and eyes can be read like the headlines in a newspaper. To say it is an honest, expressive, open face is not to do her justice.   I began this story by citing the fact that I was not new to dog ownership, having owned several "popular" breeds prior to our Miss Lily. So, let me end this short story with this quote from Diane Morgan's book on The Beagle: Beagles are excellent dogs in every way. If you want a dog with the elegance of and Irish Setter, the brains of a Border Collie, the trainability of a Golden Retriever, and the feisty temperament of a terrier, go ahead and get one of those dogs. But of you want a charming, lively, happy-go-lucky companion to share your life, make you smile and nourish your spirit, then a Beagle is really the only sensible choice. Beagles are blessed with the best temperaments in the canine world, the kindest hearts, and the friendliest faces. Who could ask for more?"   Miss Lily is the good looking one on the right. -- Patrick Finneran Indianapolis Enjoy a good thriller-mystery?

	Hi! We got Max and Mojo from you almost a year ago and they are very sweet and playful. You can't seperate them. Here are some recent pictures of them. Alex ************

Dear Elaine, Daisy is two years old now and we know she is still the best dog in the world!  She is so loving and sweet and is a great companion for my two sons.  She loves going on walks and sleeping with us!  Here are a couple of current pictures.   Alicia Jones Waxhaw, NC

	Hi Elaine,             I thought you might enjoy seeing a picture of Luke at 9 months.  He's the most wonderful beagle in the world ! Roland Juarez

	Elaine, Hello! Just wanted to give you an update.....Jax just turned 3 on July 26 (in San Francisco). He has grown into the most amazing, lovable, smart, adorable and beautiful dog (with a lot of puppy left in him). He has made so many friends.....he is very well socialized, being that we live in a densely populated City he has no choice. I think so many beagles get a bad wrap due to their barking/howling, so I just want you to know that Jax is wonderful in that respect. He only uses his voice when needed, provoked, or like a child, when he is tired. He is amazing with kids, other dogs, all kinds of people, fire trucks, skateboards, bicycles, shopping carts, cats, squirrels and even gerbles.....you name it. He makes friends with everyone and everything - has grown into quite the perfect companion!!! He is truly the dog of my life!!! He is so amazing and he has such a connection to both of us. He listens, comes when is called (even in the park), is wonderful off-leash - which is the most amazing part. We can actually walk Jax off-leash through the City - he doesn't chase after anything and listens/trusts us extremely well! And, he is the best trail dog ever, he goes almost everywhere with us! He loves to explore and follows me along trails, crossing rivers, hopping boulders and swimming at the lake. Of course his nose still gets him into trouble every once in awhile ;) He is fullof love every minute of the day! We couldn't be happier that he has come into our lives - you guys are excellent breeders. He is a one-of-a-kind! Thank you! cheers, -kerrie & laurel (SF, CA) JAX @ 3 Years

	We got Snoopy from Caulderwood almost 6 years ago. I have attached a photo of Snoopy (who is about 5 1/2) Carolyn Mower Erice  (Snoopy is a very handsome son of our General Patton and Miss Bridget)

	(ROXY is a beautiful, dual purpose daughter of our Miss Lucy & Barney Clay) Just wanted to forward to you some pics of one of your pups. This was the female I got from a family that realized she was too focused on hunting to be a house dog (well, she is a house dog still but runs rabbits every day and roams the farm). I met up with the family I got her from at a field trial. Here are some of the the family's pics as sent to me. Thank you again for a wonderful dog!   -Kevin

	MILLIE Hey Elaine, This is Don and Connie from Chattanooga. We  thought you'd love to see some pics of Millie, actually, "Mildred Bentley Caulderwoods", named after her father and her breeding kennel.  She is absolutely what we were hoping for, isn't she beautiful! (Millie is a very beautiful daughter of our Mr. Bentley & Miss Daisy May)

	Gary & Elaine:   After 3 months of living with our boys, we could not be happier or more proud.  Jon and Steve are friends with every dog they meet and happily allow humans to pet them.  They have been to the Biltmore Estate where Steve swam in the French Broad River; they stood their ground against a black bear about 15 feet away and turned it back into the woods; and Jon is lookout for a hedgehog who lives in our yard.  Most of all, they are so loveable and funny, gentle and handsome.   Needless to say, they are smart and know that they are special.  You can close your kennels now because we have the best dogs you've ever bred!   Mike & Marsha Cox (Jon & Steve are brothers, and the handsome sons of our Miss Daisy and Mr. Bentley)

	Elaine,   Just an update for you... The Girls are doing great. Here is a picture of them sleeping together. They love playing outside together and running around. Thanks for such great dogs!   Kevin & Chelsea (two absolutley beautiful sisters, and doughters of our Barney and Miss Dixie)

	PADME' @ home in Washington 1 year old   (Padme' is a beautiful daughter of our Little Ace and Lady Kate) Hi Elaine,   So about our little Padme'.  Well she is not so little any more.  She is about 20 lbs and about 11 inches.  Everyone in our complex loves her.  She is such the lover.  We take her to the park every weekend.  Steve and I found this great off the leash park.  The whole thing is fenced in and it leads to a beach.  It is so much fun Padme' loves it.    She is starting to swim a little better.  We bought her a life jacket.  She just is loving life.  We are going to put her in a pet photo contest at Steve's work.  But we can't find just one picture that we like the most because she is just so cute.    So here are a few pics of Padme' talk to you soon.                                   Jeanine

	BARNEY @ 6 months Hi Elaine,   I thought you might like to see Barney at 6 months! I take him to puppy play day on Saturday mornings since we don't have any dogs in our neighborhood that he can socialize with and or play with. Puppy play day is his favorite day of the week! He knows it too. He knows where we are going when we turn onto a certain road.   He is so wonderful to have in our lives.   I hope you are all well and are having a good summer.   Bye for now,   Jane Anderson (Jack and Barney)   BARNEY and Friend

	Elaine, Just thought I'd send some recent pictures of our Harley girl. She's almost 3 years old now and she's doing great! Our one year old son, Jude, and her are best of friends and play together everyday! Harley is so patient and gentle with him and he absolutely loves her! His first word was not "mamma" or "dadda" BUT... "doggie"! Go figure! (o; Hope all is well with you, your family and all the pups! Hilary Helms

	Just wanted to let you know how Jack is doing! He's adjusting well to his surroundings and absolutely LOVES his rabbit squeeky toy we gave him the first night we got him home. Since we've had him he's been in a total of 5 different homes and has been just great with his potty training! All this taveling has got him very used to riding in the car...if he has his own seat so he can stretch out and sleep! Jack is definately a laid back, easy going little boy and sleeps whenever he gets a free minute! Graham and I are definately attached, and he's really attached to us also. During the holidays, Graham had him at his parents' and if he'd leave the house without Jack, Jack would wine and whimper til he got back. I kept him for about 3 days, and he always wanted to be where I was and followed me everywhere! He was so great with my two little cousins (3 and 1 years old). He loves going for walks in the park. Graham's parents' dogs Sandy (yellow Lab) and Tee (Bichon Frise) were very excited to see him, and he gets along really well with both of them. We couldn't have asked for a dog with a more fitting personality to our own. He's loved very very much and gives a lot of love back! Attached are some pictures. The first is one of him with his "old man" sweater on. The second is our Christmas card picture we took on campus at UT. Graham and I both would like to thank you for answering all our questions we had the day we came to get him. We absolutely adore Jack and wonder what we ever did without him! God Bless, Megan  Bass Jack Bass and his Parents (Jack is a wonderful son of our Miss Mattie & The Rebel)   Knoxville, Tennessee

These pictures are of his trip to the lake, he loved the boat ride! He is such a wonderful addition to our lives! Thanks so much for breeding these dogs with love.   Nick & Christine Lowry   Tennessee

	Banks' Charlie Brown Elaine, Hello! I hope all is well. My husband and I visited your kennels and picked out a beagle back in February for my dad's 60th birthday. I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the family's new addition.   My dad named him Charlie Brown (we call him Charlie, Charles when he's in trouble) and his AKC name is Banks' Charlie Brown; it has a nice ring to it.   We attached a photo of Charlie outside on my dad's farm in Virginia. He loves all the smells and the numerous chipmunks there are to chase. He's also got quite a toy collection going! He's the perfect addition to the family and my mom and dad can't find enough good things to say about him; they love telling his"stories." Thanks so much, Holli Banks Brown Virginia           (Charlie is a very handsome son of our Miss Besty and Luke)

	(CLICK PICTURE FOR LARGER COVER VIEW)           Hi Elaine!  I just wanted to send you an updated picture of our beautiful Honeysuckle.  It was taken at Pet Fest here in Charleston a couple of weeks ago.  Last weekend, Honeysuckle participated in her very first charity event, a 3K walk to benefit the Low Country Lab Rescue.  As you can see, she is a very busy girl.  The weather is very warm now so she'll be off to the beach soon!  Hope you enjoy the picture!   Tina     South Carolina                                        (MAY 28, 2007)
