Testimonials

Note: I believe ethical breeders will readily make available to you their references. I decided to do a testimonial page as my reference page. These are the actual emails/pictures that were sent to me. I have also included the adopter's email addresses in case you would like to ask more questions. (Any breeder can create a testimonial page but the only way to be sure the statements are factual is if they have also included the author's contact information.)

I would like to personally thank the following adopters for being so wonderful to work with and for giving my puppies the best homes imaginable. It is so hard to part with my babies but knowing they are living with such wonderful people and being "spoiled" rotten makes it all worth while! :o)

Congratulations to Betty and "Kingston Sir Ricky of Seabrez"
for winning BEST OF SHOW & BEST of BREED!
Ricky is the son of our own Cayman and Carly!

Hi Becky! I wanted to email you to just let you know what an absolutely amazing year I have had with my little pup Luther - one of Marley and Cayman's babies! October 1st was his 1st birthday, we celebrated with a doggie cake made out of canned food and his name written in peanut butter. I am happy to report that each time we go to the vet, they rave about how healthy he is. They have asked for his breeder's name and I've eagerly passed along your information.

My life (and Luther's) has taken a few unexpected turns the past 6 months. Throughout all of the changes in my life lately, the 16 pounds of fur that is currently sitting on my lap has been the biggest source of comfort for me. I have had a great support system through friends and church members, but nothing compares to coming home to his wagging tail and loving kisses.

I have tried to expose him to as many different experience as possibly, especially while he is young. He is the neighborhood celebrity! He has not met a dog or person that has not fallen in love with him. The neighborhood kids knock on my door asking if I can bring Luther out to play with them! My favorite part of the day is the second he realized I'm awake in the morning. From day 1 he has been really good about sleeping through the night and not waking me up. However, as soon as he knows that I'm awake, he burrows his little nose under my shoulder and playtime starts! My morning exercise involves rolling onto the floor and having a good 10-15 minutes of wrestle time with him - I'm not sure who enjoys it more!

I could not have dreamed of a better travel companion! This past spring we took a trip to Boone, NC and did quite a bit of hiking and sight seeing. Luther loved every minute of it, and then slept so well for a week! He has been to the beach a couple times and enjoys chasing waves. I have also brought him to a local lake and let him go in the water - he loves to swim! He has made the trip to see my parents in New York three times so far - twice by car, once by plane. I think he is more patient while riding in the car than I am! He was able to ride in the airplane cabin with me, and the flight staff kept commenting how well behaved he was.

I know I don't need to tell you just how affectionate he is, I'm sure you know all too well how loving cavaliers are. He is just simply the BEST dog!!! Since picking him up, the day after Thanksgiving last year, I have not spent a single day away from him. However, I will be flying to New York for Thanksgiving and the only airline I could gets tickets for won't allow dogs to fly, so he will stay here with a friend. It seems silly, but I'm already really dreading being away from him!

I'm attaching a few pictures of Luther from the past year. he is no longer the 4.5 lbs of fluff that he was when I first picked him up, but he is just as loving!!

Thank you for giving me such a great gift and friend!! I just love him to pieces!!!
God Bless,

Everything is going really well with Teddy!  He is so smart!  When I call him over and say "Up," he turns around in front of me (facing away from me) and gets into position!  It's so cute!  Potty training is going very well also!  He is the sweetest, most loving little guy, and we're all crazy about him! I've attached a picture of our granddaughter, Samantha, with Teddy.  It was taken Friday after his first bath!  Feel free to use it on your website if you like. Hope all is well with the new litter!  Thanks again for everything! Marilyn Hardee  marilyn@jhardee.com

Becky, Great talking with you this morning... we are SO EXCITED about getting a "brother" for Ruble!!! Ruble turned 10 months old on 9/23/09... he is GORGEOUS and SO SWEET.... we call him our little rock star because everybody always crowds around him whenever he goes out in public with us... Here are a few recent pics of our little man... Tanner can't wait to get Ruble in the family... of course, Mark Logan and I are just as excited! Thanks for all that you do to bring so much joy to the lives of others through these wonderful pets... We look forward to seeing you on Sunday 11/29/09 to get "Domino"...
Take care.. Donna and Mark dmlyles@gmail.com  

Becky, We took Barney to his doctor on Monday.  He is healthy as can be.  He loves to ride in the car and look out the window, so I got him a car seat.  We ride into town every morning to check the mail a get a biscuit.  I let him taste the meat on the biscuit, so now, he gets excited when I put him in the seat.  His seat is on the back seat of the car...just like a human...so, he can see both of us, and he is protected in case the air bag deploys. Here's a picture of Barney and his girlfriend, Betty the pink hippo.  He really loves her, if you know what I mean.  When he plays in the crib beside my desk, I let him have Betty as a playmate.  I have discovered that he LOVES classical music.  When I play it in the background on my computer, he calms down and falls asleep. Barney is about 80% potty trained.  It rained today, so it was not a good potty day. Kat

Hi Becky! We just returned from the vet.  Barney weighs 5 lbs. 1 oz.  He has really grown!  I'll give you a heads up.  Friends of ours are crazy about Barney, and they may be in touch with you soon.  They have had cocker spaniels before.  These pups had to be put to sleep, and it was terrible for our friends.  They were not going to have more pups, but Barney is such a good influence, I think they are almost ready. We love our sweet boy, and we wish this kind of happiness for all our friends.

Becky, I had to show you just how beautiful our little man has become.  Here he is dressed in his patriotic trunks for our neighborhood 4th of July golf cart parade. Good friends of ours are crazy about him, and they have asked for your contact information.  We were delighted to comply.  Barney is so good-natured and well-mannered, not to mention handsome,
he steals the show wherever we take him.  We are so blessed to have found you. Kat Bivens

Hi Becky! I'm sure you are inundated with these kinds of photos this time of year, but this is just too cute not to share.  Our Barney will celebrate his first birthday soon.  It's hard to believe it has been a year, but it's also hard to imagine a time when he was not in our lives.  We are so thrilled to have found you, and subsequently, to have found Barney.

Hey Becky! I am sorry this is long overdue, but the past couple of weeks have been busy :) We took Trip to the vet last week and she had nothing but wonderful things to say about him! He is all up to date on shots and is a very healthy little puppy. He is so funny.....quite a personality (his name is very fitting!) He is settled in very well now and we just love him. He has grown and I have decided to keep him on the same food as he seems to like it! Once again, we want to thank you for a great experience. You were so wonderful to work with and Trip is a beautiful dog. He goes almost everywhere with us and people think he is so handsome. He gets plenty of attention!!! We will be going to the beach on vacation in 2 weeks and I guess that will be his first official trip :) We are so happy that we can take him with us when we go! I am sending some of my favorite pictures! You can see that he is living the life!!! haha I will be keeping up with your website and your new additions. I mean it when I say we want another one to keep Trip company! Lots of love, Nicki, Matt, Fletcher, and Bennett
Hey Becky, I just had to send you a quick note to tell you about Trip's first vacation at the beach! First, I have a had a TON of people ask what kind of dog he is....and ofcourse tell us how handsome he is! Second, (and the main reason I am sending this) is to say that I have never seen a dog be so well natured. I know you said that is a trait of the breed, but seeing is believing! Trip has loved the beach, but today while the kids were runnng around, and the birds were flying everywhere, and Matt was surf fishing.........what does Trip do? He just crawled right up in the sand chair and took a nap. I guess the sound of the ocean just lulled him right to sleep. Matt and I couldn't believe it......(remember we had a Lab for 14 years!). It surprised us that he would be so calm even as a puppy. Anyway, we LOVE him! Here are the pictures I snapped :) Hope you are well! nickiknowles@yahoo.com

Hi Becky!! Just wanted to keep you posted on baby Romeo. It's been almost 4 months since I got him! From the second I opened his kennel at the airport he was a bundle of love! He didn't even know me and he licked my face the entire way home! My dad said as we were driving, "I think Romeo is the perfect name for your puppy". I've read so much about cavaliers and met others but I have NEVER met one like Romeo. You can tell that his beautiful spirit reflects the home he was raised in. He loves sleeping in any basket he can find and loves my dirty clothes!! Haha. He sleeps in my bed every night and lays on top of my head!!! Sometimes he even sleeps on my face!! He's the best cuddler and best companion I could have ever asked for. Everyone falls in love with him at first sight. Romeo also knew sit within 2 days of having him! He's a genius! His best friend is Isabelle, my roommates black chihuahua. Isabelle scratches on my door every morning until I let Romeo out in the living room to play. It's adorable. Thank you for everything you have done and giving me my dream dog. And don't worry, I'm saving for a Ruby!! He needs a sister! Enjoy the pictures! --Mimi Ferrand mimiferrand@gmail.com

Hi Becky, Here are some recent pics of Clementine.  We absolutely adore her!  She is fully crate-trained now but we are still working on potty training.  She has also learned to "sit" and come when called.  She is so smart.  Our neighbor has a great dane and they love to play together - i'll send more pictures of the two of them because they are hilarious (the great dane weighs 120 pounds).  We truly are enjoying her.  Every person on the street stops us to ask questions about her because she is so cute.  I took her to Target the other day in her travel bag thinking that it was pretty well covered so she probably wouldn't attract much attentinon but people still stopped and asked about her.  She's just that cute.  Hope all is well with you.

	Liam and Cooper best friends!

Dear Becky, Cooper is a delight!  We LOVE him so much!  After a few early mornings waking us up, 2 nights ago, he slept 10 hours straight - until 8am!!!!  Then last night he slept 8 hrs., woke up at 6am to pee outside and then went back to bed (crate) until 8am!!!  Sue told me her dog Liam is a great sleeper too - they must have inherited that trait from Cayman??!! We took him to the vet on Monday.  He got a clean bill of health - and the stool was negative.  He was very impressed w/ the vaccine stickers on the form!   Guess what - he's 6.1 lbs. already!  He gained nearly 2 lbs. since you took him to your vet!   Funny story....we live on the water (bay) and my husband took him on the dock to sweep the shells left by the sea gulls.  All of a sudden he hears "plop"!!  Cooper fell in the water!  My husband grabbed him immediately but he did swim a second!!  He dried him off and put him near the heater for a few minutes.  He still smells good from your bath!  I took him by the water yesterday and he loved walking on the sand and lapping at the foaming salt water tiny waves!  Cooper will be a boatsmen in no time!  We go to the Atlantic Ocean beach by boat every weekend.   
Thanks Becky! Will send more photos soon! Tracy tracycast@aol.com

Hi Becky, I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Briscoe.  He's been so wonderful.  His temperament, his health and personality are just perfect.  He's everything you said he would be and much more.  I wanted to just say how much I appreciate all that you do with the puppies.  Your love and care are very obvious.  He's adjusted very well with the kids and our 3 cats.  He just wants to love on anyone and everything.  His signs, that he needs to go out, are pretty obvious so we've had very minimal accidents.  I will keep you updated with pictures as he grows and let you know when he gets neutered. I just love him so much and feel like he's been a part of our family forever.  Thank you for what you do.  I look forward to getting him a brother in a few years.  Please feel free to use my contact information with anyone who would like references.  dbenigni@comporium.net
May God continue to bless you.  You are a great testimony for Jesus. Melody

Hi Becky, I just wanted to say hello and send a new picture of Jackson. He's beautiful and we think he knows he is! He's so sweet and loving. Tomorrow he goes for surgery :( He's being neutered, having a baby tooth removed, and getting a microchip. I know I will worry like a mommy. Hope things are going well for you and all your Cavs. In His Name, Sheri Chandler chandlersheri@hotmail.com

Jackson

Hi Becky!!

SHE IS SOOOOO PERFECT!!!!  We feel SOOOO blessed and I can not thank you enough!  She has absolutely been so good!  She has slept through the night
every night and has not really even had many accidents.  We are all IN LOVE with her!!  We have named her "Lilly".  The only problem we have had is
that we all want her ALL the time!  No one can believe that she is so perfect!  I am going to "try" and send a picture but I haven't quite figured out how to send pictures through email quite yet.  Thank you again and we will update you often! Araby Ammons DDS :) akammons@cccrdentistry.com
