Hello,

Schubert is a wonderful dog, he is very smart! He has a wonderful attitude about learning and training in general. I sent in for his therapy dog certification...another six weeks or so until the certification comes back before I can take him into nursing homes. I am going to try to get him into hospital settings and working with kids.

Just to let you know, he is taking to carting like a duck to water. He loves it. He is also quite focused on what he is doing when he is pulling a cart. Of course, my grandchildren, twin boys almost 7 and a little girl just past 4, love the whole experience.

I am also turning over in my mind getting started with drafting - I think it would be great for my grandchildren! The vet really likes him, of course everyone does--he's a hit there. He's so likeable.

Hello -

Here are some photos of the pup we purchased Sired by Jesco. "Merlin" is definitely a focal point of our life. I never would have believed we would be fortunate enough to get a pup that is so innately good!

He loves everyone he meets and we take him everywhere we possibly can. He is so good-natured and calm that he is welcome by all of our friends - and he loves their kids!

Thank you again for your devotion to the breed and the production of such an incredible animal. We are crazy about him! Take care;

Dear Crown Thistle;

We made the trip back to VA with no problems - "Pearl" (a started pup) traveled beautifully and has made the adjustment to her new home very well. It is wonderful to have an older pup that is already housebroken - she has not had a single accident. Her temperament is superb and easy-going and she just loves our kids!

Thank you so much for working so hard to produce the "right" pup for our family!

Sincerely;
Ross G., VA

Hi,

I just wanted you to know that the Collie pup that we bought from you is doing very well. We are walking 2 miles a day. Thanks for the great companion!

Dear Crown Thistle,

We named our puppy Nikko (Japanese for Sunshine; Nikko Nikko means Smile) at the suggestion of our daughter who is living in Japan. Nikko is delightful. She and Tobey, our older dog, play keep away and chase and are getting along very well.

Nikko is learning to go outside and loves the cheese treats. She is very confident and easy going and we all love her! I'll send pictures once I figure out how to do it!

Thanks for your excellent breeding, raising, and hand over of our pet.
