Hi Claudia,

Here are a couple new pictures of Brighton.  He has become quite a swimmer!  We found out when he jumped in one day and loved it!  I can throw a ball in the pool and he'll jump in and fetch it!  Who knew a chihuahua would love the water???

He has gotten  big and continues to get cuter everyday!  We still have a little problem with potty training, but overall he is getting it (thank goodness!!!).  He's my love!

Thanks,  Angie from GA
Claudia,

Leo is deffinitely an art teacher's dog.  He got many colors of paint on him while I was painting the house.  Leo stays very close to me.  I have never had a dog more loyal.I also should tell
you that Leo has befriended two raccoons.  We are raising two orphaned
raccoons.  Leo thinks they are just wonderful playmates.  Leo and the two
raccoons especially love to curl up and take naps together.


here is a picture for you.  Leo at 10 weeks old

Susan M. in AR with Emma a Beagle
I can't thank Claudia enough! After relocating to a different state leaving my five year old beagle with no friends we decided to find a companion and an addition to our family. After researching somewhat local breeders I was dissatisfied with my options. Warily I started my on line search. After a few frustrating days I luckily found Claudia's K9's! After corresponding for several days Claudia and I finally spoke on the phone. Claudia spent several hours talking to me about her puppies but also about the process of shipping a puppy out west. After all of our coversations I felt comfortable enough to purchase my puppy from Claudia. Claudia answered all of my questions honestly and with humor. I knew exactly what to expect from the process and my little addition arrived safely wagging her tail from her trip. She is healthy and happy and we couldn't be happier with Emma and Claudia's much needed hand holding! Thank you again!!



Emma and Ellie, allready good friends:)
Ed and Lynnette M.in GA with Chihuahua puppy "Prince"
Hey Claudia,
     We just got our pup home and he has really come out of his shell. He and our pit bull get along and he loves to terrorize the cats. He has a great personality and has already been potty trained. We can already tell that he is going to be a great dog. Thank you so much and the puppy says hello.

P.S. We named him prince.

Michelle, Andrew and Mickey ( Jack Russell Terrier) in CA
Hi Claudia!!
I wanted to give you a quick update on Mickey (formerly, Smoothy). He's doing

just great. What a personality and so smart!! The very first day we played a

fetch game and he leanred a trick with his new toy. I throw it, he runs fast and

grabs it and trots back to me and places it right at my feet to throw it again.

Really, a great puppy. And how handsome!! We'll send pictures soon. I'm most

impressed with how lovable he is. He just loves to cuddle. He actually loves to

sleep in bed with us, cuddles up with his head on our pillow!! He's definitely

our little baby. He's energetic but not too hyper, so interested in everything we

do, and loves to go with us everywhere! So far he's been on lots of car rides,

the market, and even Home Depot. It's pretty funny...we take him around in this

bag and he just peaks his head out enticing strangers to marvel at his cuteness!

:)
I just wanted to tell you that we absolutely LOVE him, he's wonderful and his

making our home so happy and fun, and to thank you for giving us such a wonderful

pup!!
We'll email pictures soon! (I already took a million of them). :) I hope all is

going well with you.
with much thanks (and hugs from Mick),

michelle, andrew and mickey

Hi Claudia!!
As promised, here are some pictures of Mickey. The first one is with my husband, Andrew...they're both watching some TV. The second is of me and Mickey at my parents' house in California. The third is of Mickey with his cousin, Sasha (my little brother's dog...a Chihuaua/Terrior mix), playing in the grass...they had so much fun running around all day! And finally, the last is of Mickey himself, in one of his preferred sleeping positions. It's either like this w/ his paw over his face, or completely on his back with all fours sticking up. It's pretty hilarious.
He's doing just fine. We took him to the vet recently to get his health cert to fly over to CA and he said he's doing just great. He's gotten a little bigger and more adventurous! He can jump onto the couch now and last night he surprised us by jumping over the doggie gate we set up for him to stay in the kitchen over-night. We awoke to a surprise in the middle of the night (Mickey at our feet, looking quite proud of himself, might I say) and we still can't figure out how he cleared it.

He makes us laugh every day. We purchased a doggie litter box to train him to go in there for while we're gone during the day. He's great about going outside on the grass, but the box has proven considerably more challenging. We have now dubbed it the "penalty box". Every time Mickey goes potty in the house, although he knows very well he's not supposed to, we say a forceful "no" and bring him into the box and tell him to go there. Now, after he goes in the house and we say "no", he runs himself to the box with this look on himself like "I know, I know...the penalty box I go." It's pretty funny. And he'll stay there until you make friends with him again!!! This guy cracks me up.
I'll send you more updates and pictures as we get them. Andrew took a pretty funny one today I still have to download into my computer. We bought a sweater for Sasah, but she's recently gained wait and can't fit in it anymore, so we gave it to Mickey. The picture is trully worth a thousand words, as he is NOT pleased about wearing a purple & pink sweater. You've gotta see it!!

take care, and hope all is well!

Dear Claudia,   I really can't tell u how much this puppy has changed my
life, he is such a joy to have around and i know he was very much loved
by you and your family to be the good puppy that he is...I really didnt
think a puppy would change my life so but he has...Peanut gives me so
much love and joy...As i go to other breeders, u can really tell who is
good and who isnt because i think your dogs are the best and the
calmest...Yes Peanut gets a little rambunktous but he is worth every
dollar i spent and i wish u the best in your business because when people
come to you about your dogs, they will know who raised them...I
appreciate everything u did to get this puppy to me when i was sick...It
means the world to me to have something to look forward too when i get
home from dialysis, he just jumps for joy to see me and kisses and kisses
me...So I just want to thank you so much for such a beautiful puppy!!!!!1

Hi Claudia it’s me Mocha. I’m in New Hampshire now, it’s a little cold and we have a lot of white stuff called snow? Anyway, I am very happy with my new family. I am almost potty trained. I love chewing right now. I also have quiet the vocabulary. Allow me…. No bite, leave it, sit, potty, good girl, come, bye bye, off, breakfast, good job, lets go, did I mention LEAVE IT. I hear that one a lot. My Mom keeps talking about puppy school. I think that is coming soon. My Mom also said that I am the second dog that she has gotten from you. My other sister Salsa says Hi as well. She is three now. Salsa says she is the special one because Mom drove from New Hampshire to Georgia to pick her out. I didn’t have the heart to tell her Mom did the same for me. It will be our secret.

Hi Claudia it’s me Mom A.K.A. Tina. I would like to Thank You for my best friends and the most loyal companions my kids. I am very thankful they came from you. One last thing, I am glad for the friend I found in you. You have been there if I have questions or just to chat.

Claudia I just wanted to add that it’s hard to believe how much I love this little Chihuahua, she is so much fun and full of SPIRIT, she must get that from her father.  I have only known big dogs, and I am here to say that little dogs are as much fun as big dogs.  I love our Chihuahua’s!!!!! 

Thanks for everything!

Hi Claudia-

    I just wanted to write you a note and let you know how everything has been going since bringing Sweety home.  Well, I renamed her Marley and we just got back from getting her third booster shot.  (She weighed in at 3.2 lbs)  Marley thought that the veterinarian was being very rude when she checked her temperature, and she let her know (loudly) how she felt!  Other that that, the visit went well.  She goes back in 3 weeks to get her rabies...
    She has really opened up over the past couple of days.  She has tons of energy and is constantly running back and forth from one end of the house to the other.  Crate training is going well, she actually goes in there while the door is open and sleeps.  Paper training is going well too, I think she is getting the idea of where I want her to go.  However, it's only been a few days that we have been working on it so there is a lot to be done.
    Everywhere we go, people comment on what a beautiful puppy she is.  (I agree!)   She has made me laugh so many times over the past couple of days, already I don't know what I would do without her.  I just want to thank you for such a beautiful puppy who has such a loving disposition. I hope to send some pictures soon, just have to get my digital camera working again.  Hope all is well with you...

Take care and thanks again,
Connie Sitler

Hi claudia!
     Just dropping an e-mail to let you know the puppy is doing really
well :) I decided to name him blackjack and he has an amazing
personality! He's always running around and I'm still trying to potty
train him so I know I have to be patient and attentive and he's
incredibly loved :) I thought that I should send some pictures of our
amazing little puppy. I wanted to thank u again for such an amazing
puppy and I refered 4 friends to you as well because I was so happy with
the results!! Thanks again!!!

Claudia,

I don't know if you remember us but we came and bought a jack russell and bloodhound from you back in the spring. Well this is the jack russell and he has been wonderful. We thank you so much for such a great companion. I thought you might like to see a picture of him now that he is almost grown.

In this picture he is in the be taking a snooze with my husband after a long days work. He goes to work with my husband almost everyday. He has almost learned how to drive the dump truck and backhoe.

Anyway, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year,

Hi Claudia-

Here are some pictures of Marley that I took a few days ago.  She is growing up to be such a fun little girl... We went to the vet last Friday to get her rabies - she is now 4 lbs and the vet said all is well with her.  She get loads of compliments on how beautiful she is and everyone who meets her falls in love!  I will keep you updated with pictures...

Hope everything is going well with you and yours... Thanks again for everything!

Thank you,

    Leo is currently 6 and 1/2 pounds and is doing well.  Tasha and I
love this pup with all of our hearts and our greatful there are people
like you who are willing to help us out.
    Leo was worth every penny and I will be looking forward to getting
another pup from you later on.  Thank for your help!  And to anyone who
may be looking for a reputable, reliable and truthful breeder, Claudia
is your lady!  Claudia answered our emails when we needed help, she
gladly showed us all of her kennels, and she even showed a personal
concern for the puppy before we was able to purchase him. 
   Claudia is truly a wonderful person and I will highly recommend her
to anyone, just like I've recommended her to my family.  Its not often
you find such a person and expect them to actually care where and what
type of environment her baby is going to live in. 

Thank you forever,
Joe and Tasha

Claudia,  Sorry it's taken me so long to write and say Thank You!!  I drove up from Florida and purchased a black and tan and also a silver dapple dachshund back in November of last year.  I'm so glad I did!!!  You were right, they do keep me busy, but it's worth it.  I can't imagine my life without Pebbles and Bam-bam.  They are so curious, and love to play.  They are just like kids, what one has the other wants.  Their cousins, who are from PA, have been here since March.  They all get along very well.  Once in a while we have jealousy issues.  When I sit down on the couch they try to out run each other to get the spot next to me.  Hopefully you can see all 4 in the 1st picture, left to right, Pebbles, Bam-bam, Frank and Bear.  They love to sit on the chair and look out the window.  I know when someone is here.  We ended up getting Pebbles fixed.  I was afraid she was going to go into heat, and since Frank is here, I thought it was better to be safe then sorry.  She is still to young.Thanks again for doing such a great job!!  Talk to you soon.  Lisa M.
This is when she stole my rotty's bone..  LOL She's such a BIG dog at heart!! :-)

AMMIE AND JARROD WITH NEWT ( DACHSHUND) IN GA
Claudia,
I just wanted to let you know how well the girls are fitting in at our home.  We adore them and they seem to adore us.  They have adjusted well and are more playful each day.  They love the attention they are getting and they are getting plenty.  They whimper when they are tired and want to be held to fall asleep.  I may not be able to go back to work next week.  We named Dolly “Chloe” and Mrs. Special is now called “Ivy”.  We had already decided on Chloe when I read the papers on the way home and realized their mother was also named Chloe.  It was meant to be.

Thank you for helping us bring these little bundles of joy into our lives.  We were so impressed with your family’s friendliness and helpfulness toward us.  That is why we are so glad we traveled all day on Christmas Eve.  Believe me it was well worth it.
Happy New Year to your family from ours,

The Zavodny’s

Hi Claudia,
I hope you and yours are doing well. I just wanted to share a new picture of my little darling with you. She is doing well and growing, she is right around 5.5 to 6 pounds now and looking just like a little baby deer. Here are some updated pictures. Again (THANK YOU), I can't thank you enough for our little treasure. Take care, Tami

*Tinka is getting ready for the cold weather. She can actually walk and run in these pretty well. She wasn't thrilled with them when we first put them on her but within a day or so she was moving right along, of course she only wears them when she goes outside in bad weather. LOL She is such a cute little lady.

Hi Claudia
I have to say thank you for the beautiful female pug puppy you sold me. she was

loving and caring for each and every animal you have. my mother, daughter and I

Hello Ms. Claudia!!!!!
Our new baby is just a sweet heart. We decided to name her Isabell, a.k.a. Izzie. She is so quite but very playful. I'm so glad we decided to get her. I can already tell that she will be a wonderful addition to the family. That you for all the helpful information that you gave us, and for letting us tour your property and meet your "huge" family. All of them were very healthy. I thank you for being so upfront and honest to us. You are definetly someone that I would buy from again, and recommend to others. I will try to send some pictures of her whenever we get them.                                           Thanks Again

Just wanted to say Thanks for all your help. We took Jody for his first
check up and they said he's a very healthy pup! He's doing so good at
sleeping all night and he's only 7 weeks old. We haven't really started
potty training outside yet since he's so young but we are starting with
alittle paper training in his kennel area. He's such a playful thing.
After losing our last min pin we were unsure if we were really ready for
another pup so soon but he has brought us such joy! I've included a few
pictures but I'll send more as he gets older! Hope your holiday's were
great!

Julie, Frank, Ilana, Thumbelina & Cookie   from NY
Hi Claudia,
Thank you for your hospitality when we came to Georgia. We enjoyed so much meeting you and having a tour of your property. Cookie is precious and we are so happy to have her in our family. Her nickname is the kissing bandit. I could see how much love and personal attention you give to all your animals. I am amazed at how well the two of them get along it was such a relief. As always I would highly recommend to anyone who wants an exceptional new additional to their family to buy from you. It was worth the three day drive to have Cookie, she is a joy.
Thanks for being patient and always listening to our questions or concerns.
Love,  Julie, Frank, Ilana, Thumbelina & Cookie
Playboy, sold to Lisa in November 2009
Playboy (now Pumpkin) had his first vet visit.  He is very healthy!  He weighs 1 lb 7 oz and is doing fine.  My italian greyhound is his mommy and even my other chihuahua has come around and lets him chew on him here and there!  They are adorable together.
He is a precious part of our family.  He is really great looking..his ears are HUGE and straight up and his head is just perfect.  The vet noticed your breeding skill as he mentioned the perfect head..in between a deer head and an apple head!
I thought I might let you know that Petsmart has a great puppy program that is affordable and includes all shots, worming, and neutering.  Tell buyers to call the 800 number though rather than the local store as they will get an even better promotional deal.  I've never had my puppies on this kind of program but glad I found it!
With kindest regards,
Lisa  ( Lisa tried to e-mail you back but it did come back :( maybe you have a new picture of him :) ?
