Hi Kim, On the day before Rags' birthday, I just wanted to let you know how extremely pleased we are with him. Rags is just the best dog. He sailed through Puppy Kindergarten and Basic Obedience and is now half way through Advanced Obedience and is the star of the class. He gets along with all other dogs and cats; he loves children, he's smart and very funny. I'm already using him in my work, even though he's too young to take the certification test. He'll take it next month, but I have complete confidence in his good nature, his kindliness and gentle manner. I took him along when I visited a Montessori school. We visited two classes of thirty pre-schoolers each and he was absolutely perfect, even though the kids were hanging all over him and shouting and generally being typical pre-schoolers. I also took him to an assisted living facility for seniors. Many of them were forgetful and confused, but you would have been proud to see how patiently he went from one to another, standing quietly so they could pet him, and then doing it all over again several times because some of them kept forgetting they had already met him. He brought alot of joy into their rather dreary day. Rags is very big boned, although I don't think he's much over 24" and he weighs about 80 lbs, maybe more. He hasn't been to the vet in a while for me to weigh him but he's not at all chubby, just big boned with heavy muscles. We have had no health problems, except that we have to keep after his ears. We joke that he's not really a Golden Retriever because he doesn't have much interest in retrieving and also doesn't seem to like the water, but we'll try that again this summer. Maybe he was just too young last year. And maybe it's my fault, as I don't work with him to retrieve and we don't go to the beach often. He does get plenty of exercise playing with our other dog, Webster. They love each other and spend hours stealing toys from each other and chasing around. When they get tired of that, they chase the cats until the cats get tired of it and put them in their place. We brag about Rags all the time, and everyone who meets him wants to know where we got him. I give them your name and hope some of these people will get puppies from you. I know they'll be pleased if they do. If we ever get another puppy, we know where he'll come from!
Many thanks, George and Carolyn Currey

Kimberly,
Max is wonderful! At 5 1/2 months he is already 50 pounds and quite a handsome guy. EVERYONE who knows him loves him and he has a very large social circle of other dog pals. He spends lots of time walking with me so he is in great physical shape, and is progressing quite well in his obedience classes. He does have a stubborn streak and sometimes completely ignores me by not making eye contact with me. It's hard not to laugh as I know exactly what is he doing. He is very intelligent. We are committed to a dog therapy program starting in August when Max is one and can get his certification. There is one hospital that we are signed up to visit, although my goal is Children's Hospital in Boston. They require dogs to be two years old so we will have to wait for that. I know Max will love it as he very gentle with people and quite laid back. It absolutely amazes everyone that he is so young yet so calm and well behaved. As I am typing this he just came over and laid down at my feet and put his head on my foot. I LOVE THIS POOCH! Here are some pictures, one with cousin Sophie.
I will keep you posted on his progress.
Thanks again for our Max.
Nina and Francesco
