Peach Contact Tom or Gail: ttrout@pressenter.com	Hi Sally: Of course, we'd be delighted to respond to questions and be a contact person for Shelby's future litters. Our little Peach is still just the best. She hunts grouse very, very well. Doesn't get out of range and hunts best with two people so she doesn't have to quarter so far. Kind of funny, when ever we get to some long grass she wants to hunt Roosters. That pheasant thing is sure in their blood. Good lord, whenever we are driving down the road and she sees a pheasant she comes unglued and her tail about flies off her butt. The other thing I find is that she has lots of stamina. When I'm whipped, bloodied from busting brush, and out of gas, she's still got 3/4 tank left. What a dog. Might pheasant hunt South Dakota late. We'll see how the weather and snow shape up. Otherwise it's pheasant hunting around here and Ruffs of course. Best, Tom, Gail, and Ms. Peach
Bogey Contact Dave or Julie hanson78@comcast.net	Hi Sally, Sorry we haven't responded sooner, it's been a crazy week. Anyway, Bogey graduated from puppy school with flying colors, head of the class! His first 2 weeks of Canine Good Citizen Class have gone well. Most of the dogs are older so he has to work hard. He learns so quickly. We're working on "shake" now. He seems to be going through a bit of teen age behavior lately, wants to do things his way more often than before but for the most part, he wants to please. He has the sweetest, most gentle personality. Those big brown eyes are full of love when he looks at you. He loves to play fetch now and is doing a great job returning the ball. I attached a few more pictures taken on Sunday. Hope you get some rest with all your new puppies!! Julie & Dave
Goose Contact Tyler or Deb ddynan@charter.net
Scout Contact Pete leepeteo@comcast.net	Hi Sally, Well, Scout had his first bonified hunting trip. We took our annual trip to South Dakota for opening weekend pheasant. The corn was still in the fields, and they had hardly begun picking soy beans by then, so as you may have also experienced, there were not too many birds. It was really wet out there, too! We still got a few, though. Scout got to hunt with some older dogs, so they could "show him the ropes". We had him with a trainer this summer for a month, but hunting with the experienced dogs that has helped him a lot. He actually is more active when it is just him and me, though. I think he lets the other dogs hunt, so he can get see how it's done! He absolutely loves to fetch the training dummy in the yard, he has a lot of energy! And he is doing really well with obedience. I'm hunting with him this fall every opportunity we get, and having a lot of fun together, Scout Tyler and me. I included a couple pictures, hope you enjoy them! Sincerely, Pete Lee

Josie Contact Craig or Nancy nancy.voth@yahoo.com	Josie is just such a terrific addition to our family... We know that we provide a good home, but we attribute her breeding, and the care and affection she received at your kennel, as having given her a head start in life. She's friendly towards everyone she meets, loves other dogs and kids - she's a joyful little dog, whose happiness seems to rub off on everyone around her. She's doing GREAT in the field - I'm attaching another photo, if you want to include it in your hunting section. She's flushed so many grouse that we've lost count, and she's retrieved many birds. It's clear she has a real instinct for hunting! Of course we're still working with her, as she's not even 10 months old yet, but it's clear that she's a gifted hunter and her enthusiasm is unparalleled. Regards, Nancy, Craig and Josie
Casey Contact Jason or Christina banditlee@comcast.net	Hi Sally, How is Shelby doing with the pregnancy? Casey is doing terrific. We start Beginner Obedience this Thursday night. He gets so many compliments wherever we go. He loves going to the lake/beach with us because he gets a lot of kids coming to see him. We love him very much and are still excited about a liver/white/tri coming to join him! They should make some gorgeous pictures together! Casey's favorite thing to do lately is shred his toys. Especially when my attention is on the computer. I turn around and there is stuffing all over the floor! We are trying to find a name for the new puppy but are struggling with this one! We have some time though! The next thing is I need to find great care for them when we go to Mexico this winter. I'm very picky on this. I've sent along some pictures of Casey at 6-1/2 months old. Isn't he a beauty?! Jason & Christina
Jackson Contact Wendy whavir@visi.com	Dakota Pines I (dad) and Sally & Wendy and Ole (son) came for a visit. Wendy has gotten 2 pups from Whispering Pines. Jackson & Ole

MN Whispering Pines Gracie

Past Puppies

Laddie Contact Denny & Patsy pknut59@hotmail.com	This handsome boy is Laddie. He is out of Dakota & Gracie's 1st litter born April 1st 2008. Thank You Denny & Patsy for stopping in to show off your beautiful boy and for giving Laddie such a great home. He is in deed beautiful. He is his fathers son.
Harley Contact Chad chad@dandygolf.com	Hi Sally - We had a great time today! Harley is really an incredible dog. You should have seen her work. We went to some private property in Le Sueur County today for a half day of hunting. Harley got her first Pheasant on her own. I shot it at about 100 yards. Long shot. HUUUUUGE Rooster. It's going to taste great tomorrow and then going deer hunting on Friday in Taylors Falls. I've never shot a deer but had a chance to smoke a baby one last year on the last day of the season. No way Hos'e. My first dear is going to have a nice rack on it. Hopefully a mounter. We'll see. There is a big boy in those woods. My buddies got a glimpse of him last fall. Let me know if the image I attached came through. If not, I will figure out another way to send it to you. Keep up the great work. When I hunt with others......they are very impressed with Harley's incredible work ethic, obedience and kind demeanor. It's really fun to watch. We had 4 guys hunting today. Too bad the other ones didn't get anything ;) LOL.....I drove and brought the dogs. So that bird I shot was solely mine. Tracker and Harley perfectly compliment each other in the field. Fun to watch. You should have seen Harley Grouse hunting a few weeks ago. You cannot teach what she was doing. You can help but nothing like how she works the field and the woods. Hard to explain via email. Have a great weekend, Chad
Koa Contact Rick & Barb rick10813@yahoo.com	Sally, I wanted to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job. Rick and I were talking this morning how happy we are that we made the choices we did and are so happy with working with you and with Koa he has been such a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you for the updates on the computer, it was so much fun to watch him grow and we feel in love with him more every time we looked at his pictures, that was such a added bonus for us and your efforts are greatly appreciated. Your love and caring for the puppies are obvious in Koa. He slept all the way home, we stopped in Brainderd to eat and when he stirred we let him out to do his business and then he went right back to sleep. He has slept through the night with out crying or accidents since we brought him home. Starting to know his place to go to the bathroom and will often go there himself. Its amazing how quickly he's growing and learning. He discovered the lake a couple of days ago, and had his first experience of swimming -- it wasn't long, but think he'll love it this summer when its really warm out. I have discovered that he don't like my iris's. I have just a few blooming and well lets just say Koa thinks they should be roses or something... he don't like them or maybe he just likes them too much. They are fun to bite and wrestle with. Anyway, obviously I could go on and on but I will just say thank you again for all the extras you did. I am sending a few pictures for you and will continue to keep you updated... Thanks Again,
