Any-one who has had pups knows the work, worry, expense and potential for heart-break.
The following is an E-mail we just got from a couple in South Australia that we just sent a pup to..... ( I did ask for permission to post it )
Dave




Hello Dave,
It's not a bother at all. It's comforting to know he came from such a caring family
Celt is growing nearly a centimetre a day. He's very happy, and he's made us very happy. He learn't how to go to the toilet by himself in the tray by the third day. The fourth day I taught him how to sit, and shake both paws. The sixth day he learn't how to sit and stay. He's already used to wearing a collar too. He's so intelligent. He certainly loves his cuddles. I can't believe how fast he can run already. The only problem is trying to make sure he doesn't over do his play time. He get's so carried away sometimes, very funny to watch, he's always making us laugh. Even during the night while we're sleeping, we wake up giggling to his funny sounding moans and clicks. Do his brother's and sister's make clicking sounds with their mouths closed while they sleep? He like's water too. We have non slip matts on the bathroom floor to make sure he won't slip, because he like to go in the shower with us, he thinks it's a game. He's become my little shadow. We feel like a real little family now. He's completed us. We are so grateful that you had a litter of puppies. You chose the perfect one for us. Thankyou.
Hope all is well.
Best regards,
Ashleigh, Shane and Celt.

They've litter tray trained a Deerhound? Do they know how big he's going to get? They'll need a litter box the size of Denmark!

Hello Dave,

Very fine letter.
I think Celt found a very good family.


Regards
Joerg and Yoki

PS Dave, still waiitng to get some photos before the big announcement!!

Thank you for posting that beautiful letter. It has made my day!

it is very nice when people show their appreciation - a very nice letter. Not sure about the tray training though

What a lovely letter. You do have a knack of picking great homes When I have my litter I'll get you guys to vet my potential puppy owners

Many thanks to all for your replies....
Yes the toileting bit did strike a note....
HOWEVER, all our correspondence with Ashleigh reinforced my conviction that she would love our pup and look after him..... other E-mails convince that this is true....
