         Baxter at 8 weeks old 

                          Baxter today

 Baxter - Owned by Jeff & Connie     Nault, Rapid City, MI

“Baxter the Boater” joined our family in September 2007 and quickly became “our baby”.  He immediately became my “office dog” and goes with me to work and job sites everyday.  We are big boaters and wanted to initiate him right away so last fall we had a couple of outings on the boat and he did great.  This spring was the real test and Baxter has lived up to his name.  He loves the boat and the water.  With his sweet disposition and his interest and excitement in everything new, Baxter has captured our hearts and we are so happy to have him as a part of our family!

Here are some pictures of our great baby Gator.  Bringing him into our family has been one of the best decisions we have made; thank you so much for choosing us as his family!  He is an outstanding dog and all of our neighbors are jealous.  One of the nice things about living in the city is that he has been extremely well socialized with both people and dogs....he's been nicknamed the neighborhood's "happiest puppy" because he's always smiling.  He has a great disposition and is great with kids, in case your future parents want to know.  He's also a superstar at his new puppy daycare, and surely will be the dog of the month soon.  We love him to death.  In case your clients want to know, he was potty-trained in 1 week.  Woohoo Gator!!!

   Hunter - Owned by KiRistia Allen of Sandoval, IL 

 Attached are a couple pictures of Hunter. He is getting sooo big! He has curly curly hair on his chest and bottom of his neck and on the back of his hind legs. In the first picture, he is digging a hole on our yard...a no no but he was too cute to scold (almost looks like he's trying to hide it with his legs) so I just took a picture instead. The last is how he usually sleeps in the living room in front of our sliding glass doors in the sun.

London - Owned by Rich & Beth Cummo, Chicago, IL

Things are great with London.  He's such a sweetie!  We love him.  We were walking in the park across the street from us and met Gator!  They had so much fun playing with each other.  We all thought it was pretty funny that they live so close to each other. We are planning on letting them play together often.  Thanks again for taking such good care of London, we're thrilled with him.

Baxter (#2) - Owned by Nellie Spitzner,  Flora, IL

Here are some new pics of me and my baby.  He is  just a sweetheart and I love him dearly.  We call him the lovehound as he just wants to be loved on all the time.  Every morning I go in and hug him and kiss him all over his face and head and, when I stop he pats me with his paw and sticks his head down again so I will do it some more.  What a way to start the day!  My boyfriend loves him as much as I do so he will always have a great life.  Thanks so much for my sweet baby.
