Hi JD,
I just wanted to update you on the puppy we purchased from you back in December. We named him Odin, and we just finished out first puppy obedience class and we are registered for the next. . At his 4 month vet check-up he weighed 52 lbs, and growing everyday. I don’t have a really good picture right now, but when I do I will post it for all to see. So very happy with him…thanks for everything.

Female Placement
She is phenomenal! She learns extremely fast, maintains training (what little she has received) and enjoys whatever seems to satisfy out “pack”. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you through this entire process and we look forward to working with you in the future, as well as, keeping you informed with her growth and development. Thank you again for everything. -K. Hendrickson – Deputy Sheriff, Greene County Tn.

| JD, Todd and I can’t thank you enough for giving us such an amazing kid. You have to experience this line of dog before you can truly express how amazing they are. I can’t quite imagine our lives before Saxon. Sounds silly but it’s true. Todd has desired this type of dog for a long time. We are so blessed to have Saxon and blessed that our paths met. Thank you again for all you do. Kim M |
