Hi Karla-

Cooper is doing great.  He is a very energetic, often crazy little boy.  Getting him neutered did little to bring his energizer bunny down a notch. 

He is very bright, does well at his training and enjoying his first K-9 school.  He also is a little stubborn, but 95% of the time does really well. The trainers love him and think he is their favorite.

His weight is 17.6lbs, you guessed between 13-18lbs. He is very wavy, brushing him does very little to the wave in his hair, but we love his moppy look. So many people comment on him when out in public, he makes friends with everyone.

His is the most loving, devoted dog.  He wants to be with us all the time, and would rather lie at our feet or sit on our lap than be anywhere else.  I think he thinks he is a guard dog; he likes to bark at every noise he hears.

We cannot imagine life without him, we have fallen in love!!!  Thanks to Momma Luna!

Melanie

Hi Karla - 
I hope you are feeling better since we last spoke. As the thanksgiving weekend winds down we just wanted to thank you for our wonderful puppy. Here are some pictures from the past week. He has really taken to Joe and follows him around at all time. It is pretty funny. 

His favorite toy is a soccer ball which Joe is thrilled about since he plays and coaches soccer :-) Tundra seems very happy here and has gotten into a bit of a routine. 

Over the thanksgiving break at our family's cabin he and Blaze had so much fun. They wrestled and then wore each other out. They both love the snow and all the nieces and nephews. It is a joy having him in our family now. 

Take care and talk to you later.
Lacey & Joe

I hope all is well!  This is in our kitchen where Blaze loves to spend his time!  I just have to say what a wonderful little guy Blaze is. Is he just exceptional, or are all your puppies this awesome! He is such a joy.  He's quiet, already kennel trained and working on potty training!! 

As you can see my family is in love with your puppies! My sister ordered hers and my Mom is probably not far behind! We may keep you busy up here in Alaska. We've been stopped again and again asking us where Blaze came from!

Thank you again. This little guy is going to have a great home for
life here with us.  Someday, we'll add a little brother...

Hope you and your family are doing we..

God Bless,
The Short Family in Alaska

Hi Karla, 

Sadie (formerly known as Trixie) is doing very well. She is such a sweet, good and happy girl and in wonderful health. She is about 18lbs. I couldn't have asked for a better dog. If you recall I originally contacted you to get information on adopting one of your older dogs. I was quite hesitant to take on a puppy as I had only had dogs over 1 year old and heard lots of horror stories. I'm so glad you suggested getting a puppy. It even feels like it went by too fast! She is so smart and very easy to train.

She's gone through her puppy kindergarten and junior high. She loves people and other dogs. Sadie has such a wonderful temperament. She is not stubborn or dominant nor is she timid. When she was spayed she easily adapted to wearing her Elizabethan collar. I have had several dogs wear these and it's always been a nightmare. Sadie just adapted, like "ok I guess I have to have this thing around my head now". 

I think she looks more poodle than cocker and her hair is straighter than other cockapoos I've seen (you had said it would not be very curly). People always are commenting on the "nice haircut" she has, but I've never given her a haircut other than to trim around her nails. 

I've attached pics from October when she was 8 mos as well as some earlier puppy photos. Please let me know if you want any more info. I'd be glad to share.
