From:  Sally Hobson Re: Basswood Beryllium  Hi  Just thought I'd send you a couple of pictures of Maggie (alias Basswood Beryllium) now that she's reached the grand old age of one! I can't believe it's nearly a whole year since we picked her up from you as a tiny black fluffy ball - where does the time go?  As a puppy she was very little trouble although she did take a liking to my husbands wallet!! The cash it appeared was not to her liking and was strewn liberally round the room but the credit cards proved to be very tasty!!! She went to puppy classes early this year which were a great success and is now attending the follow up class and loving it! Of all the dogs we've had she's been the most responsive to training as she's so eager to please. She's got mountains of energy and a really lovely nature - a big hit with everyone she meets.  Trips to the local woods where she can race through the undergrowth and chase balls are the highlight of her day and a recent week in Northumberland with it's miles of sandy beaches proved to be "doggie heaven"! She adores swimming and even large waves don't daunt her.  All in all she's an absolute joy and we can't imagine life without her.  Sally Hobson

From:  Bill Re:  Basswood Spycatcher Frank  Picture of Sky I mentioned, both of us after a hard days gardening (for me at least ).   As you can see although I got her for Wendy my wife, she and I have bonded well, in fact Wendy says she is a man's dog.  Naturally I disagree !!!!!!  Regards Bill     Sky has now settled in and become a well loved part of the family, she is an accomplished sailor with a few trips on the boat under her belt plus trips at weekends to the cabin and her latest has been up to the dales in the caravan so she is getting round a few places,, at each place she is a credit to her training and is very steady. Regards Bill

From: Wendy Littlefair Re: Basswood Orinocco Flow ( "Hooch") and Basswood Ebedae ( "Harley"). We bought two beautiful black lab puppies from you in July 03. We have been delighted with our two new family members, they have grown from cute pups into confident, healthy and extremely handsome young dogs.  Harley, in particular, is much admired by all who meet him; he looks just like his Dad - Basswood Bowmore. They have great characters, are gentle and friendly to everyone and quick to learn.  Harley is definately the brains of the operation, instigating the mischief, but ensuring that it is Hooch who gets caught with the evidence! Regards Wendy Littlefair
