Hi Sandi
This was a very Merry Christmas for us. Rocky, aka Just like Dad, has been a wonderful puppy. Very smart and sweet. He's alittle over 6 mos. old and already 95 lbs.!
Dear Sandi,
Hope the New Year finds all of you well. We thought you might like to know how my Pony, Dixie Mae Drizzle (LUNCH MONEY) is doing. Her Mama Mercy would be proud. She's a year and 9 months and is just over 106 lbs.. She is as gentle as she is big. BeoWOOF (WHITE OUT, from Emma) now 3 years is 102 now and would be less But he is our counter Surfer Dawg!!! Dixie Loves jumping and chasing Baldrick Pugcuzzi( The Pug) and BeoWOOF all over the yard. They Love chasing bubbles, the laser, but we can't get balls back, If they get them it's more funny to make me run after them or,just eat it.. So I have a toy on a stick that works great. Our Home is so full of Love and Bulldogs we are packing up and looking for ground outside Knoxville,Tenn. I want to start K-9 carting with them and give them room to play. I have BeoWoof saying MAMA on my camera. Dixie still smiles and waves at us. We Love our Furever Kids. Even Little Molly Shea, our granddaughter, has us put her on speaker phone to talk to them. Thank you again for these wonderful Dogs. Love from the Dog House,
Joy and Don

Maya aka One Spot (From Seeder & Elka)
Hi Sandi,
Just wanted to pass along a Happy New Year and give a little update on Maya (aka one spot / from Seeder & Elka 2007).
Maya is the best dog! She gets along great with our 1 1/2 yr old twins. She really makes us feel like we have 3 children (in a good way). She loves our twins almost as much as she loves her daily trips to the park for "wrestle time" with her friends. She really is a tank. Thanks again for making such beautiful puppies.

Sebastian (From Seeder & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi:
Happy New Year!!! It's been quite some time since we updated you on Sebastian. I have attached his most recent picture. He has grown so much and is such a wonderful dog. He will be three years old in June 2012. He is very majestic and loves compliments. He has bought us so much joy and laughter. He continues to do well and is very protective over his family.
In looking at your website, the resemblance to his Seeder, his father is remarkable.
Hope you enjoy the picture.
Kind regards,
JoAnn

Congrats Sandi!!! They are all beautiful looking dogs.
Max and Lucy are doing great. Max looks so much like Redmond. I am enclosing some pictures for you.
Btw... I can't begin to tell you how good both dogs are with Michael. They are so gentle, its like they sense how fragile he is. Michael had to undergo a repeat brain surgery this week. He should be able to go home Friday. He misses and cries for his dogs:(
Max 1.5 yrs 145 pounds=Redmond and Cutter

Auggie (From Seeder & Jordan)
Hi Sandi,
I hope you remember us, I know it's been a long time. This is Debbie and Allen Turner. We adopted "Auggie" from Seeder and Jordan's litter 4 yrs ago! We used to live in Mississippi but Allen received a promotion and we are now in Kansas. I am attaching a picture of our little darling. He is 97 lbs. of pure muscle! I can't tell you what joy and companionship this "Big Baby" has brought to us. Allen is traveling a lot with his new job and with Auggie around I am never alone. Our cat Sofie has finally accepted him (I even think she kinda likes him) and sometimes I catch them sleeping together on our couch. He was originally to be a birthday present for Allen but this boy is all mine! When he's not talking to us (he makes a lot of funny sounds) then his next favorite thing to do is to lay on my lap and watch TV. But Auggie and change his personality from one minute to the next and become a great protector if need be. I guess that's why we call him "The Gentle Giant"!

Bailey (From Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Bailey has become such an important part of our life It's hard to remember what it was like before her. She is a very playful, sweet, smart, rambunctious young lady who loves to snuggle in her dad's recliner at night. I bought this huge hard plastic "indestructible" dog ball that she pushes and chases around the yard-it's so funny to watch. She loves empty soda bottles and zooms around the yard after them too. I never thought I would ever have a dog in the house and now she sleeps between us both. I like to tell people "It's Bailey's world, we are just walking through it!" :)
I want to thank you again for your compassion for your dogs and puppies. It is very obvious you are dedicated to bringing healthy AB's into our lives. I remember you telling me that once we raised an AB there would never be another dog for us.....you are so right!!!! We both love our "little girl" and can't wait to get home to love on her. It's like a joke between Steve and I, Bailey gets more hugs and kisses than we do!
Thank you again for what you do and I pray He richly blesses your CHRISTmas and the New Year!
For His Glory,
Trudy

Max aka Double Tree (From Seeder & Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
Hi Sandi Just a little update on the boy for testamonials. After the marathon of moving over the last couple of years. We started when Max was 7 months. Since then he has really settled in to the change from the coast. He is becoming quite the “buninator” and hiker. When the grandkids come over he is in 7th heaven…and a very gentle giant. The baby LOVES him and likes to share his bed…she really “hogs” the whole thing. We went up to the lake the other day and he got chest deep in it. The water was about mid 70’s and he wanted to do more, but I had to keep him on a lead so we just had some water fights on the shore with the kids camped there. I’m looking forward to the adventures at the lake with friends and family next summer. He is such a wonderful friend and great company. I can’t believe he is three and one of the best dogs we have ever had. Thank You Sandy for your attention to the qualities of these fine animals!!!

Cash (From Seeder & Faith)
Hi Sandi,
If I have ever had any dog that truly "walked the line" it's Cash. His halo is held up by his horns. But we couldn't live without him. He keeps us on our toes with mischief but he's so cute, like his momma, that you couldn't stay mad at him. Lol plus he already has a chipmunk and a mole, which he caught at about 6 months, under his belt. He does his "job" quite well. At least he thinks those are his jobs.

Lucy (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
Thank you for the great advice and conversation today! Thought I would shoot you some pictures of Lucy with my sister's kids. They are absolutely in love with her and cry everytime I leave(not because I'm leaving, but because LUCY is leaving)! She is growing fast (as all AB's so). Her and my son love to get into trouble together. His second word was "dog" and his fourth and fifth words were "Good Girl", although it sounds more like guh guh coming from a one year old. We are really enjoying her and are almost done with her first set of puppy classes, which she is doing very well in. Still working on getting her to not chew everything and not use her teeth to communicate, but she is getting better. Just about completely potty trained! Thanks again for a wonderful dog!

Rango (From Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi,
Hope all is well. Just wanted to update you on Rango. He is still a fantastic puppy. We love him so much and he loves us a whole lot in return. He has the greatest life a dog could have. Lots of love and care and attention. I am bringing him everyweek to school. Has already received his level 1 diplomat and is now having his level 2 class. People in class keep congradulating me on how beautiful and very well behavied he is. Very fast learning skills. The trainer says he's an angel and yes I confirm. Of course when it's time to have some fun with our other dogs, they some times seem to vanish, wonder why, Ha! Ha! My future plans are to hopefully train him for rescue, if of course his snub nose does the job. Also, agility competition when he'll have grown enough to avoid any damage to his bones. He is getting soo big. I will be weighing him tonight but I think he'll be over 55 pounds.
P.s. Now my only problem is that I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND MY SPOUSE THAT HE IS MY BABY.
Well take good care and speak to you soon.

Reagan
Hi Sandi,
I wanted to tell you what a wonderful dog reagan is. I couldn't have gotten a better, more well behaved puppy. He was potty trained at 3 months. He will sit, stay, down, and walk on a leash. He will come when called if he feels like it so we are still working on that. Everyone who sees him says what a beautiful dog he is, and of course I have to agree. :) He goes to doggy daycare when I work and has a great time playing with other dogs. The staff at my vet , where daycare is, just love him. Reagan gets along fine with my german shepherds and my female has taken over the mother role. I have always been a german shepherd person but reagan has won me over to the american bulldog breed. In the future I will be back to buy a female from you, after my female shepherd has passed, and my male is older. Reagan is very playful and affectionate and also very layed back. He prefers to sleep til 8:30, then gets up to go out to potty, then breakfast, then wants to go back to bed until 10:00 or 10:30. My kind of dog. :)))) He loves children and all other animals. I am so glad my son introduced me to you and your awesome dogs. Reagan is built just like his daddy Redmond, long legged and lean. I absolutely love him. Thanks for providing me with such a awesome dog.

Bella (Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi -
Beignet and my 8 year old son, Beau. He still sits in our lap and loves his night time belly rub before he goes to bed. He just turned one year old !! He's built like his dad though. He already weighs 110 pounds, but he's solid as a rock, and he is FAST. I mean FAST. We got a house with a big back yard for him to be able to play in, instead of the townhouse we were in. He's very protective too. My husband is a police officer, and he went from days to nights, and the first night the police car wasn't in the drive way, someone kicked in our door. They didn't get past one foot in the house, because Beignet rounded the corner and scared them off. It was just me, my daughter and two of her friends. No telling what would have happened if Beignet hadn't been here. He's for sure worth his weight in gold. He's so loved and spoiled, Sandi. And he's absolutely hilarious, too. He has the best personality and gets so very excited the minute I come home from work. I just love him. Thank you so much for letting us get him. He made our family complete.

Wrigley (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
Hey Wrigley is now 3 mos old and weighs in at 38.6lbs!!! He is so great and him and Nala are inseparable. We take them for short walks together and Nala makes sure to wait for him as we go so he does not get left behind, so adorable! Everyone says he looks like a tiger with his markings and say they have never seen a pup quite like him before. Everyone says "wow, I cannot believe how big his paws are" as they are just as big, if not bigger than Nala's! Today we had friends over for a football game party and one brought with their 6mo old little boy and Wrigley and Nala spoiled him with kisses! If Wrig wants to go potty he runs and sits by the door, it's great. Him and Nala sleep side by side and keep each other company 24 hrs a day. Nala seems so much happier having him around! Anyways, hope all is well just wanted to give you an update on how things were goin and how BIG he is getting!

Lefty (Seeder & Elka)
Hi Sandi,
I have another good report on Lefty. A few nights ago around 10 pm I was getting ready for bed and I thought I heard a knock at the door. I then hear Lefty growling viciously at the window by the door, He never growls like that he just woofs a lot. So I look out the window and I don't see any thing I open the door and Lefty tries to rush past me acting like a mad dog. he's wanting to get at something and hurt it . So I get him in And calm him down then went to bed. the next morning the people across the street told me someone knocked on their door and robbed them at 10:20. I have no doubt Lefty scared that guy off. And I'm thankful. I told the people across the street you have a litter of of the nicest puppies I've seen. they told me they don't like dogs. I didn't say what I was thinking "I don't like being robbed" . I love my dogs and I sleep very well at night. Thank you for Lefty he is A wonderful family member. And A top notch guard dog. I love your new puppies. they are gorgeous !!!

Hi Sandi,
I wanted to update you on Tread to Borco and finally changed to Rango. He is just adorable. We love him very very much. We took him out for a drive this weekend and brought him to a flea market to socialize. He met lots of dogs, people, children, noises.... People were all around him asking questions and just admiring him and how calm and well behaved he was. Real good on the leash. He even asked for the door this weekend to go do his business. Getting along very well with our other dogs. The two females are acting like they're his mother. I don't want to imagine any animal trying to hurt him. He learnt two things so far with our male. Catching snake and frogs. He is having a ball. Thanks again, we're all very happy to have him as part of the family. WOOF! WOOF!

Nitro aka Christopher (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
House breaking is going well.. he is running up and downtown the stairs like its a game. He is such a vocal character. My other dog diesel thinks he is a puppy again but is also like his body guard. From the moment he got off the plane he was in love with Jenn and I.. he is too funny with his head tilting and his grunts, biting one side of his lip looking at you like "you gotta be kidding!" We also had to change his name. Which I kinda knew was go na happen. Bc of his personality and his "fly by's" his name is Nitro and he likes it.. already comes running after one day.
Also.. not sure of I told you. But im a firefighter. Jenn is an emt. We both love kids and helping people. We were thinking about as he gets older we are gonna train him so that we can bring him to visit kids and seniors at the hospital.. he's got such a loving touch we think it'll be great..

Hi Sandi,
The puppies are doing wonderful we are getting a routine, I am with them all day long. If I go somewhere I put them in a crate they sleep on the living room floor and I'm on the sofa to supervise them. I stepped on Belles foot (didn't hurt her), she went to Mary sat in front of her and raised her foot as if to say please rub it for me.. Our female Shepherd loves both of them and they follow her outside and play with her. I had Sofia outside on a lease and Nathan grabbed it and walked her all over the place. Anyway we are having a great time.

Hi Sandi -
Thank you so much for allowing us to add her to our family! We had our shots done today and got her heartworm and flea prevention. Our male doesn't like her much, but is fine with set females, so we are working on it. Liam loves Lucy(as long as she isn't nipping him). It's funny, she behaves when she is with my boyfriend, but as soon as I get home she is a little rascal. My son does the same thing :). Liam has started to "bark" at Lucy when she barks at him. So cute!. I am in the service dog club at college, so we are going to train her to be a therapy dog so we can take her to hospitals and nursing homes. She is a handful, but a joy and we are so happy to have her. Everyone is excited and supportive because they know how much I love animals and how much I miss my dog that passed last year. Thank you again for producing such a great puppy!

Karma aka Nubby (Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi,
When we got home it was 10 pm and when I walked through the door Kobe (Redmond x Skeeter @ 9 months old) came to say Hi to me and then.......he smelled Karma. I put her in the floor so Witt and Kobe could get used to her and get their sniffs out of the way before bed. Kobe wouldn't go near her!! Witt and Karma became instant friends and ran all over the house chasing each other. Kobe on the other hand was like a scared kid! I had to sit down on the floor away from Karma and let him sit next to me. I loved on him and told him that it was ok. I told him this was his new baby and he had to be nice and not be scared. After our little "chat" he went right up to her and everything was fine then. I let them greet and meet for about 20 minutes and when I was ready to take a shower I put the boys in their big crate. Robert kept Karma in the living room until I could get her crate all ready for her to go to bed. The boys were not happy that she got to stay up and so they whined. I finally got her crate ready and everyone calmed down. She wimpered for about 30 seconds and then she was fine the rest of the night. She and the boys did great. This morning she has gone outside to potty and chased Witt puppy around everywhere. Evan got up this morning and has loved on her!!! He keeps thinking he can sit on her like he does Kobe. He follows Karma and Witt when they run around the house yelling puppy, puppy!!! This morning has turned out great so far. She is loving it!!! I will say she is a toe biter! And she keeps trying to attack the girls pajama pants! Tayler keeps telling Madyson when she does that you have to grab her nose and yell NO!!! The girls are excited and everyone is doing well. Robert keeps saying how pretty she is! And I totally agree!!! Thank you again for doing what you do with the dogs!!! They are lucky to have you be the one to get them started before they reach their new families!!!

Pre (From Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi -
I hope this email finds you enjoying your summer, despite the heat, and taking care of those adorable puppies! I wanted to send you a much needed update of Pre "Precious" and pass along a few pictures that were taken this weekend at the lake.
She is doing FANTASTIC and is the best girl I could ever ask for! I couldn't be more pleased about adding her to my family, she is sweet and gentle with those she knows and very protective of her owner. Pre is very in tune with my moods and seems to know just the right time to make me smile. She and Dugan walk great on their leashes together, but it did take quite a bit of work with the two of them. They both love the lake, swimming and most importantly going on boat rides. Simply put, Pre believes she is princess of most everything. Her favorite places are on the couch beside me, sitting on the back of the boat sun bathing, and most recently on top of my raft at the lake.
She does have quite a few allergies, but we are dealing well. We actually had to make a trip to the vet yesterday because of a skin rash, probably from a plant she came into contact with at the lake. But, she goes to the Vet well, takes her medicine like a good girl (provided its rolled in cheese), and seems to be doing much better. The Vet weighed her at 60 lbs yesterday...making her MUCH bigger than the last time you saw her....Not too bad for a runt. She's 10 lbs heavier than Dugan and you can tell hasn't quite mastered her new size yet. Hopefully she makes 75 lbs full grown.
Thank you once again for answering my prayers. I simply couldn't image not having her in my life. I'll be sure to pass along more info in the future!
God Bless

Bo (Seeder & Elka) & Dixie (Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi,
Bo was in the first litter with Seeder and Elka. And you are right, Dixie is just like her dad. She eats all the time but only grows up not out. She just turned one year old so she has just started to fill out a little but I believe she will be taller than Bo before long! I love them so much, still cant believe how lucky I am to have them in my life.
I got some great pics of my wonderful dogs! We went to the lake for Dixie's bday but she didnt want anything to do with the water even when all of us, including Bo, were in the water. She will come along though, been working with her at the house a little, just needs a little confidence. She is already as tall as Bo. They still are so different. She is so hyper and loves to fetch (Bo was always a lazy old man even as a puppy). She is super smart and learns new tricks so quick. We have just been trying to get her to stop licking everyone ALL over, especially bare feet. I keep warning her I am gonna cut that tongue out! Anyway, we are all great here and everyday having a blast. I hope that you and the family are doing good .
Lots of Love,
Kevin, Chasity, Bo, and Dixie

I just was writing to say hello and let you know how great Rambo is doing. He is ringing the bell on the door to go outside. We are so proud of him. It is great that he can independently let us know. He is a smart pup:) He truly is something special, such a blessing. He is sooo cute. He is the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. My husband always teases me and says Rambo is such a 'chick magnet" hahah. Everyone just comes up to him and compliments how wonderful he is.
We had puppy school on Sunday for the first time. He LOVED It!!! He loved playing with the other puppies. He follows the command sit and watch me to increase attention. He came home that evening and literally passed out for hours.... he had too much fun. He is starting to walk up a few blocks as well!! Everybody loves him in the neighborhood!!! Everyone greets him by name - sometimes, I won't know them, but they must have meet Rambo with Tom. We just got on from a little walk and all of the older ladies were out together for their walking club. They all pet him and say good morning. I am going to try to bring him out at this time always, so he can see everyone:)
We have our follow-up at the vet on Saturday, so I will keep you posted. Have a great day!!!
Love,
Lindsay

Mango (From Seeder & Faith)
Mango ?? Is she bossy??? that doesn't even begin to describe it! she barks at us if we sit on HER couch!! She does love being part of the pack too though. As long as she's first in line for attention but a complete snuggle bug when its time to go to bed ;-) I remember being at your farm and she was crying because we left her for 2 seconds. We thought it was because she liked us!!! too funny!!! Marley is the sweetest girl you've ever met. All she has to do is blink at you and you've forgotten whatever it is that she 's done that has made you upset. They bring so much life to our house and I wouldn't have it any other way. Good luck with the new Mommas and new puppies. The place looks GREAT!!

Ase and Chargin' Bull (From Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi
Its been 6 months already, all is well in Lincoln, NE and the pups are doing amazing! Redmond and Skeeter produced incredibly beautiful, intelligent, sweet mannered puppies (not to mention huge!)
Chargin'Bull (Ears) is a beautiful and big bulldog pup, over 61 pounds at 24 weeks and 22 inches at the shoulder and barrel chested. He absolutely has the same sweet nature and beautiful bright eyes that I remember from Redmond on our visit to the farm. Both Chargin'Bull and his sister were leash trained by March and have been on a daily running routine since April. His disposition is very affectionate and sweet and loves to kiss and hug. He absolutely admires Kelly and his sister Ase`. Chargin'bull shadows her wherever she goes! His favorite games are choosing "the favorite toy of the moment" and wrestling with his sister!
Ase (triple crown) weighs 57 pounds, 21 inches at the shoulder and is a little star. Ase` had a photo shoot with a model at the April Husker spring game and she loves to pose for the camera. She is very empathetic and sweet mannered and loves people. Ase` has long legs and a high drive, very agile and athletic and way ahead of the training curve! She will be ready for Basic Handling certification by the end of summer! However She is very ornery and alert, a testament to her intelligence and and an excellent candidate for continuing schutzhund. Her favorite games include; running, working and training with Greg and teasing her brother Chargin'bull and taking away from him "the favorite toy moment"!

Cindy Lou Who aka Victoria (From Redmond & Skeeter)
Hello Sandi,
We wanted to provide you with an update on Cindy Lou Who, formerly "Victoria" to let you know how things are going with her. She is just over 5 months old now and last week weighed in at 54 lbs. She is just a wonderful dog with a great disposition and demeanor. Everywhere we go people comment on how friendly she is, how well she gets along with other dogs, how pretty she is, and the compliments just keep coming. A lot of people are intrigued by her markings which some refer to as looking tiger-like. She is very tolerable of our two daughters (3 and 18 months old) and they get along great. She even complies with my 3 year old's commands to sit and down. As I mentioned, we have a cat and they also get along surprisingly well sharing licks from time to time. Her potty training was amazing as in about a month, she was having no more accidents in the house (which was only about six peeing accidents) and was sleeping through the night without requiring any walking. We currently have her enrolled in obedience training at the Dog House, which is affiliated with the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers and she is doing outstanding. We have a nice fenced-in yard for her to play in and get her energy out and we take her on frequent walks. She even goes for light jogs with the family on occasion and seems to enjoy the exercise. We are extremely happy with her overall and are glad we got her from you.
Take care and we will keep you posted on her progress.
Thank you again for our newest family member,
Michael, Cristina, and the girls

Simon (From Seeder & Cutter)
Sandi,
I was so sorry to hear about your dog Emma. I know how difficult it is when you lose a pet as they are part of the family. When we talked a while back I know that you were worried about her.
I finally got around to taking some updated photos of Simon today. As you can see he has really turned out to be quite the gorgeous guy. He really is the best. Had the little growth taken off of his right elbow and it's doing great. He blew a couple of stitches and when we took him back in the vet. just numbed it up and re-stitched him right then. They were impressed with him as he was really calm and let them do their job without any problems. Weighed him at the clinic and he is up to 115 pounds.
As you can see these were taken in our back yard. It is just starting to green up a little. Hopefully it will warm up and dry up some more and it will look more like spring. We're having to wipe off feet before the dogs come in as there are still a couple of low spots that are a bit on the muddy side. Simon is liking the warmer temperatures. He is good on the leash when we go for walks and when we get back he likes to run around the yard as fast as he can. For how big he is he can sure move!
Enjoy the pictures. I hope you had a nice Mother's Day!
Take Care

Lefty (From Seeder & Elka)
Sandi
Thought I would send you some pics I took of Lefty today. He seems to get bigger Every week. The weather has been so nice he gets 2 hours of play time a day plus fishing and fossil hunting. He is starting to get really thick like his dad. The best thing about Lefty is how careful he is when playing with my 5 yo niece he runs around with her and never knocks her down. He is just the best dog around children. I cant wait till you have all them puppies in June it will be like when I got Lefty. when you have over 30 puppies to choose from that took me forever to pick one. Keep up the good work.

He had a check up about 2 months ago and he weighed a whoppin 95 lbs, he is just a gentle giant! He does shed a bit more than I thought, any tips? Other then that he has been great we have often thought about getting another one and I know just where to find the perfect AB!! Thanks again hope you enjoy the photos!

Kora aka Three Dots (From Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi!
We thought you'd like to see a recent picture of Kora. She's getting so big and changes every day! I keep up on your website and saw that you've posted pictures of some of her litter mates. It's fun to see how they've changed and grown too, and hear how they're doing. She's been so much fun for us, she's definitely a lover! Loves to give kisses and lay in our laps to fall asleep, although she's pretty much outgrown mine! At three months she weighed 25lbs. She was easy to potty train, thanks to your help getting her housebroken, and has caught on to other training pretty quickly. We get compliments on her all the time, people love her markings! She's gotten more little spots all over as she's gotten older. We are starting to build our fence this weekend, so hopefully soon she'll get to play outside more. She loves playing with our cat, going to puppy class, and being pulled around by her tug rope. Thanks for giving her such a great start! We'll keep you posted on her progress!
Sincerely,
Marie and Tyler

Malu (From Redmond & Cutter)
Sandi,
Things are going well. He is a beautiful boy ! He gets a bit nippy at times but we are working on that and it is getting much better. He will be attending his first puppy class next month, but he is a smart guy and has really done well with basic commands at home. He is huge and gets so excited when he sees new people ...he sometimes knocks right into them ! Here are a few recent pictures I have. He went to the vet yesterday to have his Lyme vaccine and weighed in at 56 lbs. Thank you so much. He is a real sweetie pie :) --Sarah
ps The first picture is kinda funny. It is of the kids eating their cliff bars at 6am before school. They don't like mornings, but Malu does !

Max & Lucy
Sandi,
Thought I would email you with updates about Max (Redmond and Cutter) and Lucy (Seeder and Jordan). Both are doing amazing and know several commands like sit, stay, paw, and crate. When we leave to go to work all I have to first say is "crate" and they both go. Lucy now weighs about 80 pounds and I have changed foods quite a few times to find a food that she likes and will help increase her weight. I found one and she eats alot more than she use to. It's made by mfa and has 27 percent protien. Max is huge! Last time we weighed him, he was 101 pounds. He is now almost 9 months old. He loves the kids and to snuggle. Lucy and Max play all the time. They get along with everyone. Lucy is a bit more protective over me. She sleeps at the end of the bed and if I go into a room and shut the door, she will sit right at the door until I open it...lol. Always, we love them so much. I don't know what I would do without them. I am enclosing pics of them.
Hope u like them:)

Thank you so much for the awesome job you did with him before we got him. I was curious if you knew of someone we could get a cutie female from. The dogs that we have looked at so far don't look as good as yours do. It would be nice for him to have a playmate his size!!! Let me know if you think of anyone.

Ase & Bull (From Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi,
Thought you might like some updated pics of the pups! 4 months and 35 pounds of playfulness. Ears has been titled, the name: Redmond's Ozark Chargin'Bull (Roc) We've been calling him Chief Chargin'bull or "Bull". Hope you don't mind if we titled him in honor of his dad? What a bulldog he is! You were right, he is covered in spots (especially when wet) He is gonna look like his Grandpa Seeder. I'll send pics. Ase is extremely intelligent. She responds well to training and is a quick study. I am sure that I would have chosen her out of the litter! She will make all of us proud. Ase is earning the position of lead dog! ((Blackjacks old job)
Have a couple of story's about Ase's sweet disposition and affectionate nature.
The following Monday after our trip, both pups and I were at the Vets for first checkup. In walks a lady (obviously upset) with a 10 yr old golden retriever. I let the pups meet the old dog, and the lady tells me she is there to have the old dog put down. 20 min later the lady returns from the exam room (without the old dog) and in tears! Ase immediately went to the poor lady.... started kissing and hugging the woman in such a sweet consoling nature that it brought all of us to tears, even the Vet! Ase was only 8 weeks old!!
I lost my friend Jodi to cancer 3 weeks ago. I took Ase too see her the day before she passed. Ase would not leave her side, Ase layed beside Jodi attentive to her every move, gently kissing and hugging Jodi. It was the last time 72yr old Jodi laughed and smiled. Ase truly helped Jodi come to peace before she passed the next day. Again everyone in the room was touched and moved by Ase's sweetness and intelligence.
I am so happy to have brought both pups home! (It was meant to be!!) I am thankful to have found you and your beautiful bulldogs. Kelly has that sparkle in her eye again. It had been years since I've heard her laugh like a little girl. I thank you for that!
I will forever be grateful to you for helping us find the joy of life again. Thank you so much Sandi!
You will always have friends, (and pups) in Lincoln, NE. Will write you soon!

Rose aka Unity (From Redmond & Cutter)
Dear Sandi,
We came down and bought our beautiful female pup from you back in Sept. You had named her Unity and she was Redmond's first litter. I just thought you might like to see her now at 8 months. We love her and my husband, Lee, named her Rose before we got home with her that day. Her full name is Redmond's Rowdy Rose. She is very loving and our youngest son, Aaron and her wrestle. She has good manners and has learned several commands. I watch your website and we all enjoy keeping up with your puppies.
Sandi,
Hello from Oklahoma! A lot has changed in our live's but, it has all been for the good. As you know, we had been living in Norman,OK for the first 7 months of Alabaster's life and it had been great. He has adapted well to city life and had become a local favorite with all the regulars at the local dog park. As we all know, things change,and we have moved out of Norman and moved to southwest Oklahoma. We live in the country on a few acres and Alabaster is doing great. He is maturing into a fine, well rounded dog. He is great around people and excellent with other dogs. He has had no heath issues and he eats like a horse. I hope all is well out on the farm and all the bulldogs are doing great. I have included a few pictures taken last weekend. Alabaster is 8 months as of last week and he weighed in at 83 pounds on Saturday. He is starting to grow into those massive paws of his. Ruth and I are so blessed to have such a great dog and we think of you often.

I took Maggie to Pet Smart yesterday and everyone, I mean everyone, had to see her and get puppy kisses. Then we went to the Harley shop and the same thing there; we couldn't get out of there for everyone coming up to us. I was so worried the dogs wouldn't get along but they love each other. Thanks again for raising such wonderful dogs. Love Maggie to death. She is doing good on house breaking and on a leash. She seems to be smart and going to be easy to train. Thanks again Sandi.

Lilly aka Summer (From Seeder & Jordan)
Hi Sandi,
Here's something to look at on a snowy day - the most recent pics of Lilly. I think I told you that I took her in to have her spayed last week. Seems like a shame in a way, she's such a great dog in looks as well as temperment. She does so well riding in the car, sits right up like who somebody. Loves to take a shower and even lets me blow dry her after the rub down. She weighed 61 lbs at the vet and has really done well with the surgery. The vet was guessing her to mature into the 80 lb range. They really liked her a lot. Everyone does, kudos to you and the work you're doing with the breed.
The first pic is in Monday's snow. We got about 5" and it's snowing again today. She loves playing in it, such a goofball, great personality. The other pics were taken a few minutes ago. Doesn't she look great?? Her markings are really unique in that Seeder's color is mixed in the spots, especially on the hips, maybe you can see. She stands on that dog box outside the back door and waits for me to clean her feet. haha!! She knows she doesn't come in with dirty feet. She gets along well with the three cats but still likes to bark at them occasionally, just to make sure they don't forget who is the biggest!
Hope you're doing well in the winter weather. Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Sandi,
Here are a couple of pictures so you can see how Ase and Ears are settling in. I'm home with the puppies today because of the storm. It started yesterday with a quarter inch of ice and a few inches of snow, the winds are blowing about 40 mph. The puppies don't like this at all, but then, neither do I.
Ase and Ears had their first vet visit yesterday. Ase has a bit of a cold and they told us that Ears would probably get it too. Everyone is still eating and drinking a lot and they can always find energy to play. I am soo happy that we brought this pair home, they are great dogs! Ase has potty training down - she goes to the door and cries to be let out every time. Ears has had a few accidents in the house, but we know he'll come around soon.
Stay safe and warm, we'll talk to you soon!

Hi Sandi.
Just thought we would give you an update on our "cash". As you remember he was a puppy from Seeder and Faith. He's a healthy 9 month old boy that is always curious and becoming quite the hunter. He has already captured a mole and a chipmunk in his endeavors in the backyard. He's 86.5 pounds of lean muscle. And he is curious of any and everything as much as the day is long. In the picture Felony, our original AM Bull is 7 years old and at 9 months Cash towers over her. He looks more like his dad everyday. We thank you for our addition. It truly saved Felony from all of her anxiety problems. Will update you again in the coming months.

Wheat Gluten Alert !!!!
Wheat Gluten Alert !!!!
Hi Sandi...wanted to let you know !!!
We realized Homer had a problem from when we first got him - tons of diarrhea and vomiting. I used to work for a vet so we gave him time changing the food and adjusting after the transport. But he kept having flair ups. We would be running him out at all hours even though he was house broken and some of this was even though he was on meds. Our vet was very confused. We started switching foods but always the same problem. I started reading ingredients and eliminating things. We went to straight chicken and rice and then slowly added kibble or eggs or something. Always when we added the kibble he got sick. It finally clicked one day that WHEAT was in everything. We switched him to wet food which normally does not have wheat gluten in it - it is normally more rice based. We bought a house a year and a half ago and there is a specialty pet store around the corner. They sell tons of food I have never heard of. We had him on Canidia [sp?] until it was bought out and the recipe was changed - Homer started getting sick again. So we switched him to Chicken Soup for the Large Breed Dog Food. It is amazing - they use sunfowers, rice and other things to get the grain and use a lot of meat. If anyone ever complains about the problem - there are so many gluten free foods out there and most of them are the same if not cheaper than the grocery store food. He is doing great on it. Our only problem now is when our son, Connor, tries to sneak him some cheerios or mac and cheese. LOL
Thanks,

Max (From Seeder & Cutter)
Hey girlfriend!!
Just wanted to let you know we had our "well baby check." He passed with flying colors. Weight is actually 101.7. Got his shots and bordatella...'cause he goes to daycare occasionally. The vet said he is an extremely fine animal and he was SO well behaved. He loves the grandkids and is very gentle with the baby. She giggles every time he comes close. It's been a little chilly here so we are looking forward to the warm up...not unlike you I'm sure. We shared our New Years together...just the three of us and he tolerated the fireworks really well. I think it was because we brought him up to the construction site so often. He got used to the loud noises. Not to mention the fact there are a lot of hunters here too. We will be going back to school in about a month. Needs that "social" thing. I have an agility course we'll be using soon too. Thank you again for such a spectacular friend!! We love him and spoil him to no end!!
Dearest Sandi,
I thought I would let you know how our not so little pony Dixie Mae Drizzle (Lunch Money) is doing. You were right she is built like her Daddy Seeder. She all ready out weighs her Mama Mercy by 20 lbs. She is 95 lbs at 9 months. WOW!! BeoWoof (White Out) from Emma and Seeder 2years ago is 105 lbs, and looks just like his Mama. They are wonderful together and Love playing with our pug S.O. Baldrick. Dixie is Super Gentle and still thinks she is as much of a lap dog as the Pug. She not only sits on me ,she sits on BeoWoof too. BeoWoofs nic-name was BAM BAM He would plow his way though and into anything or or anyone to get attention. Dixie just jumps over him to get it first. Don was happy Dusty Rose just sold I was eyeing her, my nickname in high school was Dusty and she was Too cute. Don says we have to move to a farm first. They are all LOVED by the neighborhood childern and my Grandkids. Thanksgiving BeoWoof gave our one year old grandbaby Molly Shea, a bath at the dining room table after dinner and the giggles could be heard though the whole house. We are planning to make a pulling wagon for them to pull the childern around. They also go with us to the nursing home to visit Don's Mom and Aunt and are wonderful with all the residents.

Meatloaf aka General (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
I was emailing to give you an update and say Meatloaf is doing Great!!!! We weighed him this morning and he is just over 68 lbs at (almost) 5 months old !!! He eats like a horse and loves his rawhides. He has already started making sure that everyone knows this is his property. He saw a hunter coming out of the woods across the road from us, this past week and went nuts, barking and growling. It's funny he saw the guy long before I did, which I was thankful for. The guy hastily went and got in his truck and left. No one believes that he is just a puppy!
We absolutely love him though and so does anyone that meets him. Everyone comments on how beautiful he is and how large.
Thank you again for him.

Nala (From Seeder & Cutter)
Sandi,
Hey there just wanted to let you know Nala Mae is just over 2.5 years old now and weighs in at just about 100 lbs! She is such a great dog. We wanted to send you this picture of her with our older cat and her with our kitty that is about 6 mos old; thought the one of them sleeping was the cutest thing ever! They are best friends and even sleep together even though there is 90 lbs difference! Thanks so much for her and hopefully if all works out we can get another one of seeder and cutter's pups. We think a male? She seems to really hit it off with the boys! Do you think you are going to breed Cutter with Seeder again? We'll keep in touch.
Thanks again Sandi.

Georgi aka Perfection (From Seeder & Faith)
Hey Sandi,
Here is the picture I was telling you about. The legs on top of Georgi are Nala's. Georgi is so funny, she needs to be touching someone all of the time when she is napping. She laid down next to Lili on the floor. Lili moved a couple of inches away from her and Georgie, without even waking, inched her way back to where she was touching Lili. Lili moved away again and again Georgi squirmed back to where she was touching her again. The two of them did this at least 5 times and Georgi never opened her eyes once. It was so funny! Finally Lili gave up and laid down and let Georgi snuggle up to her.
I was so glad to hear your voice today! What a wonderful surprise!! All is well here and I am glad to hear it is there as well!
Love ya!

Dear Sandi,
I thought I'd let you know how our PONY is doing. She has received a middle name, Dixie MAE Drizzle. You were right she is built like her Daddy. She is 7 months and is 75lbs..WOW. She is as big as her mama Mercy. She is super gentle. My son is coming to visit for thanksgiving and I'll have him show me how to E-mail photo's. I tried it once but this thing hates me. She is as tall as Beowoof(whiteout from Emma). She has the prettiest face ever and is well loved. It's a shame you're not on face book I have pictures there.
Have a wonderful Vet. Day!

Beignet aka Cowboy (From Seeder & Faith)
Hey there, Sandi.
I just wanted to give you an update on Beignet. He has got to be the funniest and most spoiled rotten dog in all of creation. The other night he got into a full blown fight with the bean bag. It was absolutley hysterical. He has made himself at home in our house and is very territorial. He is also very smart and soooooo loving. He knows which house is his and goes running towards it as soon as he is done doing his business on his walk. He does NOT like walking on the concrete (farm dog !!!) and still sits there and cries, trying to get one of us to pick him up and carry him to the grass. Not kidding about that at all. I have 2 LSU bean bag chairs for my kids and he has taken one over as "his". Well, Shelby (my daughter) was sitting in one and Sarah (my friends 5 year old) was sitting in "his" bean bag. He woke up from a nap on my chest and wanted "his" chair. So, he tried to nudge her out of his chair and when that didnt work, he started to nip at her (not bite) and she pushed him away. Well, he got fed up and thought "I'll fix you", went behind her and proceeded to get her out of the chair by taking her pony tail into his mouth and pulling her out of it. It was sooooooo funny! I laughed till I cried. As soon as she got up, he jumped into his chair and looked at her with a look that said "I dare you to try and take it back"
And boy, can he bark! Thats the funniest. He knows where his food is and if we arent by the food when HE diecides he wants somethin to eat, he goes and sits next to it and barks until one of us either feeds him or tells him its not dinner time. He is just a mess. And all of those kisses!!! HE LOVES TO GIVE KISSES!! And snuggles, too. He is just the best puppy! Stubborn and strong willed but oh so loveable!

Lilly aka Summer (From Seeder & Jordan)
Hey Sandi,
Lilly is just doing great. I took a day off yesterday just to stay home with her. She hung out around the back door and yard while I mowed. Wants to be friends with the evil tom cat SOOO badly but that's not working out yet. She's not giving up though. haha She sleeps in the crate in my room at night and isn't any trouble at all. She doesn't mix well with toilet paper though!!! Loves playing with a raquetball and most times will bring it to me. She's also going to the door to go out. She's amazing.
Went to her first day at school today and was such a hit, so well behaved and loving. The special ed students are in our building. These are kids that are teenagers but severly disabled. Wheelchairs, brain injuries, leg braces, some wear diapers. etc. Severe. But everyone responds to the love of a puppy. Lilly spent an hour or so in there with them. It was a win win for all, a real heartwarmer. Everyone thinks she needs to be our new mascot/therapy dog. We laugh and say we're going to start a rumor that she's also the new drug dog in training. lol...
On the 25th, I'm babysitting my grandson in Nashville and am taking her with me. Can't wait to see them together!!
I'm thankful for you too, truly. And yes, there is life after death ... : ) see John 14: 1-4 May God bless

Hi Sandi,
I thought you would enjoy this pic of Zena. BriAnna had a dress your pet contest in school and this is the photo she used...I just want to thank you again for the most amazing dog I ever owned. I have owned almost every breed and she is by far the best. She is the smartest and most loving dog I could ask for. As you know I have two children 11 and 15 and their friends are always over, when Zena sees all the kids she thinks she is one of them and will play with them all day, she just loves everyone. On the other hand when someone comes to the door that she doesn't know she shows us her true protection of her house and family..What more could you ask for....Thank You Again

Dixie aka Liberty (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi !Just had to give you an update on Dixie! Well, my sister's shitzu that also lives in the house has been a great playmate/playtoy for Dixie. And I say playtoy because I caught Dixie dragging the poor little dog around the living room by her tail! But she doesnt seem to mind, she is more or less content just because she finally has someone her size to play with for a while. : ) Yesterday Dixie and I went to the pet store we went buy a clearance toy bin first thing through the door, she picked her out a squeaker and literally carried it around the store the whole time! Only to put it down when someone bent down to give her love! She is such a Big girl! She is also letting everyone know when she needs to go potty and we have yet to have an accident! Which is more than I can say about my Sis's shitzu who is 2 years old and has an accident about once every other day, Dixie is really showing her what being a good dog is all about. You would be so proud of how good she has been! An absolute delight to have around! And you wouldnt believe the compliments she gets about her "tiger" strips everytime we go to the vet or pet store. She is really becoming a great bulldog!

Hi Sandi,
Look at my beautiful baby "Aspen" with her unfinished eye-liner and lipstick, Crooked ears, She is such a beauty! All of these markings which I love so dearly! Sandi she's doing so well! I have been trying to convince my friend who just lost her dog to look you up! I find myself checking your site often and looking at these gorgeous puppies and the gift u have been blessed with! Do ur bulldogs bark?? I have found that Aspen does not bark! She growls to communicate, which is so funny, and I have only heard her bark once! ( not a bad thing). My youngest daughter Taylor who is six has found she can give Aspen a rope and Aspen will drag her across the floor playing tug a war! What a blast and awesome to watch! What power she has yet such a laid back personality and would sleep all day if I let her! I find her being a great inside dog, because of her inactiveness! My daughters also think she likes me more than them because she follows me everywhere in the house and lays at my feet whether it be watching tv or on the computer or sitting outside lol! Thank u for what u do! I will continue to keep u updated!!
Hey Sandi!
I thought I would give you a update on Alabaster. He is wonderful. He had his next to last round of shots Friday. He weighed in at 30 pounds! He is a great dog, the vet staff says he is one of the best tempered 3 month old''s they have seen. He has been almost perfect. He has taken well to training and loves to go for walks. He is great around people (big and little) and shy around other dogs. I''m sure he will get over that soon. The housebreaking is great. He is very good at going outside. I''ll keep you updated.
I hope all is well at the farm.

Max aka Allegiance (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi!!
Just an update on Max(allegiance). He is doing so great!!! He is weighing in at 32 pounds now. He is still huge but such a good puppy. He listens well, loves to fetch and he doesn't bark that much either. He goes to the door and scratches when he has to go outside. He is the perfect addition to our family. Lucy (from Seeder x Jordan)loves him, they play all the time but Lucy is the dominate one. Its funny cuz when I call Max to play, Lucy gets jealous and pushes him away from my arm and then when it time to eat, Max pushes Lucy away from the dog food!! Lol:) I wanted to tell you that we had our first experience with Lucy and a stranger in our house. The cable guy came over and Lucy didn't recognize him so she barked once and then went into my bedroom where I was and jumped on the bed with me, watching the door. About ten mins she heard the front door shut cuz Robert went outside. Well, she saw the cable guy was still there so she sat in the hall watching the living room while growling and barking. She was not going to let anyone down that hallway. Needless to say, I love my dogs. They are my children. Lucy is my baby and sleeps at the end of my bed every night I love you Sandi!! You have made it possible to have my two wonderful canine children and I absolutely adore them and you.

Meatloaf aka General (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
I finally got some pictures of Meatloaf. He is such a ham! He already knows to Shake and Sit. He has halfway gotten stay. It's more as long as a cat doesn't come by he will stay. As of his last Friday he weighed 23lbs and has already noticeably gotten bigger. It's crazy within one week he went from a pound lighter and a couple inches smaller than our Pug. And now he is about 2-3 inches taller and 2lbs heavier. Oh and he has fully mastered the leash and has learned to stay at heal. It's funny when we take him somewhere he is everybody's friend, but here at the house if someone shows up he starts barking and growling. He calms down within a minute or two but at first he thinks he's one bad puppy. LOL. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hope things are going well. Just wanted to send a picture update of Knox. He is doing great and continues to get bigger every month. This was taken several months ago but I love this picture. Right now he is 1 year and 6 months at about 85 pounds of solid muscle. His ears are still crazy but we love them and would not have them any other way. He is the most loyal and loving dog I have ever had. He is smart and protective and makes us feel safe in our home. He loves people and is always seeking attention. The vet expects him to gain another ten pounds and then she said he is done. I can't wait for him to fully mature. He is such a proud dog and he loves to show off his muscles.

I wanted to attach some pictures and give you an update on Murci (Leona). We decided to rename her like her mom but spelled differently! Murci is a wonderful addition to the family, it's been great the last two months and we love her very much!! Everywhere we take her, she gets so much attention!! Not only is she good looking and smart but her personality shines! She's extremely funny and learning very quick. She now understands the words "no", and "no biting." She can sit, paw, stay, high-five, lay down, and roll over!! Because she's so intelligent, we are having so much fun training her. Housebreaking was a huge problem at first, but she learned quick and hasn't had an accident for a few weeks now. She's currently 35 lbs. at 4 months old, boy did she grow fast!
I just want to say Thank you Sandi, you are truly amazing! Murci is my first dog, and she's definitely a joy to have. I hope I can pick up another one from you again possibly in the near future!

Hey Sandi!
Hope things are going well for you. Just wanted to give you a little update on Max Man. After one of our Monsoons, we had a little bit of a "make shift" pool. He had a ball...no maybe three. Played out there for hours. I think when we get our pool in, he will take to it automatically. The kids and grand kids came over for the 4th and we had a GREAT time. They have a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix that they are fostering (and will probably keep). Well, they brought her up for the 4th and EVERY body got along GREAT. Between the older grandkids, the 9mo old baby, and the puppy...could not have been better. For a 120# dog...who is not quite 2, the day went SO well. Your dogs never cease to amaze me with their temperament and personality. They are SO dedicated...but not exclusive, big, but not overbearing, fun-loving, but not rough. They seem to beable to read their pack, kids, animals, and adults. However, that being said, they do need discipline and training at an early age in order to accomplish this. (They also do love their chews.)..I recommend "Bully Sticks"...ya can't miss! Guess that's it for now...LOVE the new arrivals.

Sandi,
I took Lefty camping last weekend at the lake. I had some pics but i lost them some how. Any way he was such a good dog every one there loved him. While I was fishing I heard a little girl say I love your dog. I turn around and see a 5 or 6 year old girl with her arms around his neck and Lefty just sat there and let her love on him. That's a good dog. If an adult would walk up he will woof at me. That's without any training. I wish I was a good dog trainer cuz he would be a wonder dog. People ask me how I got him to behave so well. I tell them to get there dog from a good breeder and never ever hit your dog. I tell them a good place to start is getting an american bulldog from you. any way here's a pic of lefty I just took so you can see how big he is getting. He's an easy 90 pounds now. He's going to be a big boy. We're going to spend 5 days on the Spring river starting wednesday I just finished getting everything ready that's why I'm up so late.

Raizo aka Horseshoe (From Seeder & Mercy)
Sandi,
Just wanted to let you know that Shoe aka Raizo is doing great and we are really enjoying the newest member of the family. He is beginning to open up and become more comfortable with his new surroundings. He's only had 1 "accident" inside the house. He has picked out his favorite spot which is under the coffee table in the living room, though I'm not sure how long he will fit under it as he continues to grow. I fixed him up his own little room so to speak downstairs but he prefers to sleep upstairs in my daughter's room at night. He is truly a joy and we are already thinking about getting another so he can have a playmate...
He weighed in today at 17.7 lbs, he got microchipped and received a wellness exam and all is fine. Thanks again for helping us add a beautiful new member to a family. And I'm sure you will be hearing from us again should we decide to add another....
Thanks,

Was potty trained when I got him. And he's a good guard dog already. He's turning out to be the best dog I have ever had. Thanks for giving him a great start in life. And I thank Elka and Seeder too. Lefty does have one conflict in life: at around 10:00pm he likes to go out and do his business and the cat across the street will come to the sidewalk and watch him. this makes him mad he cant stand the cat watching him go #2 . He growls and barks at the cat then he turns around so he cant see the cat to finish. this happens all the time.

Winston aka Triple Play (From Seeder & Skeeter)
Let's be honest, this is the best looking AB ever produced! We are somewhat vain about our dog, but what can you do! Winston is still doing fantastic, he is 4 months now and comes in at a muscular 35 lbs. He is very obedient, in fact my brother in law wanted to leave his dog with us to be trained for a month after seeing how good Winston is, honestly most of the credit should go to the dog rather than us. Still very gentle with our daughter and other children, we even had a friend over the other day with their baby and he got down on his belly to crawl to the baby, he seemed to recognize he needed to be extra gentle with him. He loves the outdoors and seems to have a knack for tracking, we're going to put him through a tracking course soon! Thanks for the great dog!
Best Regards,
Adam

Porkchop aka Snowball (From Seeder & Jordan)
Good Morning Sandi,
I hope all is well with you. I wanted to send an updated picture of Porkchop. She really is the greatest thing to happen to us. She can sit, lay down and shake. Her new favorite thing to do is to bring us her food bowl right around dinner time. She loves to play with her Frisbee and going for walks with me in the evening. She is the perfect addition to our family and we could not ask for a better dog! Talk to you soon.
Love, Krista, Drew and Porkchop

Cash (From Seeder & Mercy)
Hi Sandi.
Well we are officially into week 2. Cash checked fine at the vet last monday. He has been quite curious and even caught a mole today while out playing this afternoon. I weighed him last sunday and he is up to 17 pounds already. He's been great so far. No accidents in the house. We are currently working with him to get him to stop biting people. I am attaching a few pictures of him so you can see how he is coming along. And of course, felony is starting to take to him very well. He chased her looking for milk the first couple days but after a few snarls he figured out that she is not providing that kind of love.lol Thanks again for everything. As promised I will keep you up to date about how he is doing. You have provided us with an amazing addition to our family.

PS. He is spotting like crazy. Cant tell yet if it will all be brown spots or red. Most are still under his white coat.

Right now the planter is his favorite toy. He tosses it, runs after it, bats it around and tosses it some more. What a boy! His personality is the best. I can't believe that I have had him three months already--he is such a loving guy.

Cash
Hi Sandi,
We just wanted to thank you again for having us down at your place this last weekend. It's amazing how much you really care about all of your dogs and how well taken care of they all are. We loved it down there so much, that on the way home all we could do was discuss how we are definitely planning on finding a nice place like yours in the near future. It's truly awesome how much you realize you are missing in life when you get out of the city and find your way out to a truly beautiful setting like that. We know that if cash is in good hands with anyone, it would definitely be you. I'm sure he will get all of the attention and care that he needs in the next few weeks until he can come to his new home. My wife and I had a good laugh on the way home also about how Seeder took to her so quickly. We were amazed how all of your dogs took to us so quickly just upon meeting us. It seemed as though they all had the same personality and characteristics that ours have. Thus making it seem that there is only one person I would ever consider purchasing an American Bulldog from, and that would be you. Thanks again. This email has a few of our pics in it and I will send another with "sleeping Cash" next.(he fell asleep in mom's arms).

Kylo aka Panda (From Roady)
Hi Sandi!
It's been a long time and I wanted to tell you how complete our life is since adopting mayzie(lacie) and Kylo (panda). My fiance and I just got married last week and we are proud of our little family. Kylo is just turning 2 years ols and we are approaching the age of snipping off his manhood. Kylo has the greatest tempermant and is the most handsome, smart, gentle loving dog and everyone wants a "Kylo" puppy. I was thinking of studding him out so I can keep his bloodline going. But still unsure of what to do. So I am coming to you for some honest advice on this topic. Please give me your absolute honest opinion, you are the professional and I am not, I just know what an amazing boy I have and if in the near future I want more of him I'll be able to find it.
Thanks!

Max (From Cutter)
Hey there girlfriend,
Sorry it's been a while. Max is becoming quite the desert rat...loves to roll in the dirt! True farm dog at heart. He truly is the joy of my life. I took him off puppy food and put him on Solid Gold Holistique which he really likes...a little pricy but worth it. He lost 3# and is now a lean 98#, 16 months, and a real beauty!!! We just finished our advanced class and he did quite well. We train in a place called "Horse & Hound" so he has a lot of distractions and still performs. I noticed one of the testimonials where they are having a problem with biting...one of the things we were taught was a can with coins in it and shake it in their face while loudly saying "Bad Dog!" & "Leave It!" it works really well. Also you can't have enough chews. Pork roll and bull pizzles...Max loves them and,as opposed to the rawhide, they can process them. That reallly helps with the puppy oral thing. Hope you are doing well and your weather is getting better. It's been about 70ish the last couple of days and we are loving it. Saw our first rattler of the season squished in the middle of the road. We had Max Boosted for rattle snakes and now it's time for the walking stick. Always an adventure.
Love Ya!

Max AKA Horizon (From Skeeter)
Hi Sandi!
Here is a recent picture of horizon, which we named max. He weighes 26# and 14ounces, pic was taken on 3-2-10 he is getting so big. We have him in puppy class, though they haven't taught him anyhting he doesn't already know. He can sit, lay down, give you his paw, high five you, sometimes he will lay down and crawl for you. The only thing I can't stop is the biting, other than that we love him so much.
Gary
(Sandi's reply:)
Hi Gary,
On that biting: When he nips / bites...IMMEDIATELY put your hand around HIS ENTIRE MUZZLE and mash his teeth together with a LOT of pressure. NOT enough pressure to break his teeth....but enough pressure to make him whine. At the EXACT SAME TIME that you apply this pressure (only do it for literally one second)..... SCREAM AT HIM = NO BITING !!!! And then release / turn your back on him and walk away. With the males...it sometimes takes 3 times. BE ABSOLUTELY STERN AND FIRM..... both with your voice and with the pressure. Remember = ONLY FOR ONE SECOND !!! No longer. HE HAS TO KNOW THAT "BITING" IS NOT ALLOWED AT ALL ON ANY LEVEL.. .PERIOD. END OF STORY !! LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS.
Thanks

Sandi,
These were taken the 24th. He weighed in at 35.2 pounds yesterday, so he has gained 5 pounds per week. We are really enjoying him. He is a sweet boy and really wants to please. He''s also very smart. Simon likes to try to grab things and run off, then he drops what he has and looks at you with those big eyes. As you can see Simon is getting a bit larger. He likes playing outside and exploring in the snow. He is all legs and feet. Every morning it looks like he is a little taller. He''s a very handsome boy and has beautiful markings. He plays and likes to talk which is funny. He buried a treat outside and then went and found it so that he could bury it again. :) (Simon lives in Anchorage, Alaska !!)

Ika AKA Heart Throb (From Emma)
Sandi,
You can't imagine how much joy she brings to everyone she meets. She will be taking her CGC test in a couple of weeks and we are going to volunteer at the VA Hospital to visit the Vets. My Dad was a vet and my son is too. I took her to the VA when my son went for allergy testing and they asked if I would be interested in bringing her to the hospital. So I looked for a class that I could get CGC certified but places like "Pet Smart" said "No" because she is a "bully breed". But.. In Hollywood they take any breed as long as you have money! I will send you some files of Ika's pictures . You can use them in your publications if you like.

Brady AKA Paintball (From Jordan)
Dear Sandi,
Our family wanted to thank you for blessing us with the newest member of our family. Our Puppy Brady (AKA Paintball from Jordan and Seeder) is the most well behaved puppy. House breaking was a breeze and he doesn''t chew on any furniture or other things he is not supposed to with the exception of stealing an occasional sock while I am folding laundry :) He attends puppy training and has learned all of his commands. He has learned to walk on the leash perfectly as well. Our vet is amazed with how smart and well behaved he is, not to mention healthy.Brady is so eager to please and is absolutely wonderful with both of our children Jordan age 8 and Alex age 15. He is such a clown, he always has us laughing. You made our long distance puppy purchase a very rewarding experience. Your website was professional and informative, but what we loved the most was your honesty and your obvious love for the puppies and their parents. You went out of your way to correspond with us via Email and on the phone. We looked forward to the updated pictures you sent us each week until Brady was old enough to come home to New Hampshire. They made the wait even more exciting. So thank you very much. We have recommended you to everyone we know.
Lots of Love,

Chance AKA Dotz (From Cutter)
Hi Sandi!
I want to thank you so much for blessing my husband and I with this wonderful puppy. He has been such a pleasure. We named him Chance, and he is starting to get used to everything. I cannot believe how well he minds. He is so smart. He already goes straight to the door when he has to go outside. And in the middle of the night, he paws at me or my husband, and wakes us up to take him out! I just couldn't believe how fast he caught on! He has already started to learn what sit, and no mean. Now we are in the process of getting him used to his leash. Chance is just to heavy for me to pick up, as you can imagine, so the sooner he learns to use his leash the better. I thank you so much for everything you have done. If you only knew how much that was. I will definitely tell mom what you said. She will be very thankful for the kind words you have said. I hope everything goes well for you and your wonderful dogs. I will keep in touch every now and then with updates.

Ryder aka Red Riding Hood (From Faith)
Hi Sandi,
I hope you are doing well and enjoying all of your puppies! I really wish I could have another one now! I want to let everyone know how much I love my dog. You already know since we are now friends, and I'm as thankful for that as I am my dog.
I live in Georgia and manage a veterinary hospital. I have never purchased a dog online, and have always believed in meeting them in person first to learn about them. And, of course, most of my dogs have been rescues. However, once I read Sandi's website, I knew I was at the right place for me. Then I saw the cutest pup in the world and called about her. Luckily she was still available. We drove to Missouri to get her, and upon meeting both Sandi & Ryder, I knew the best was yet to come. I got her home, and I promise she only pottied in the house ONE time. I said "NO, MA'AM, we potty outside" very firmly and that is all it took! Unbelievable. She is now 9 months old, 65 pounds, and has never done it again.
She is extremely smart. She watches TV. (Seriously) She loves the National Geographic channel! She only wants to please and is the ultimate companion. She hates when I sit in the recliner instead of the couch with her. Sandi will tell you that jumping off furniture is bad for their knees, and it certainly can be. I do not let her on the bed as it is pretty high, but my couch is low, so that is ok with me. Sitting with her after a long day is the BEST. Ryder has adapted to my family, friends, and lifestyle perfectly. I am on the road a lot, and she is great in the car. She loves my son and our other (smaller) dogs and protects them. Our 3-pound chihuahua-yorkie mix thinks she is "bad to the bone" and sometimes challenges larger dogs she meets. Ryder will stand between them to make sure Izzy does not get into trouble! I have to say that getting her was the best decision I've made lately! She has turned out to be all I expected and more. I could not have asked for a better temperment for sure, and she has been very healthy. Sandi's love and devotion to her dogs, and her level of integrity make it impossible to find a better companion in my opinion.
Thank you Sandi for everything you have done. You are the best! I hope we can come see you again this summer.
Much love,
Chris, David, Ryder, Izzy, & Lil'man

Hi Sandi,
I can not even begin to tell you how happy we are right now. The kids are over the moon. Michael is just so in love with Lucy. She is adjusting really well. She has been SO well behaved. We went on our first walk tonight on the leash and she did outstanding. Its hard to believe she is a puppy because she is so calm. She follows me around like crazy. Its so cute! I just can''t believe what a perfect fit she is! She has not chewed on anything. She just sits right at my feet. Every now and then she will get up to see what the kids are doing and she comes right back to my feet! She had one small accident but has gone outside everytime I take her out. I am using Iams puppy biscuits to help reinforce the training. She is just amazing on the leash. I was so suprised!I think she is really happy, I know we are :)
You are the BEST!!!!!!

Zuko (after he healed)
Hey Sandi,
It's been a while since I've updated you last. Attached are a few pictures of Zuko. He actually got injured a few months ago while wrestling with his dog friend. The other dogs leash got wrapped around his right hind leg and when she took off running it snapped his leg. It ended up being fractured in 3 places and required surgery. He had a little cage on his leg for a good while with pins going through the bone. It was awful. It's all healed up now but he still isn't using the leg much. He's in great spirits now though. I think he was just weirded out by the metal. My poor little guy. He's still crazy as ever though haha running around like crazy and yelling at me. He looooves when he gets to sleep with me. Even if he's not tired he'll lie next to me and nap. Well I hope you enjoy the pics! He's still the most attractive dog in the neighborhood.
Thanks for my buddy,

Dexter AKA 3 Dots (From Mercy)
Sandi,
Here are some pictures of Dexter. We are so in love with him. We could not have asked for a better dog to start out our married life. He thinks he is 5 lbs even though he is 75 lbs and loves to sit on our laps and cuddle us. He is very demanding that we sit on the floor with him since he isn''t allowed on our couch (although he does have his own couch). We hatched out some chickens last week and Dexter was fascinated as you can see. He could have sat and watched those chicks all day. We were impressed by how gentle he was with them. I got him to pose a few times by the Christmas tree and hopefully I''ll be getting our Christmas photos with him to you soon! Dexter is starting to be the guard dog I was hoping for and I feel safe being at home while Brian is at the farm. He does not like when the doorbell rings and he sounds pretty mean.My parents are in love because he is their first "grandchild". They keep him on days we have to stay at work long and he is just spoiled rotten. You are a wonderful breeder and I am so happy that we found you. Hopefully sometime we can get another one to be a buddy for Dexter! I would love to have one from Cutter but we need to get a bigger house first!

Here is a picture of Knox. He is approaching 10 months now and he is such a great dog. His ears never settled and actually both now stick straight up!! I would not have him any other way. It makes him who he is and he gets tons of compliments on them. Since getting Knox our boxer has passed and my mom has fallen in love with the breed. She ended up adopting a young female AB from a local breeder in NC. She was given to us for free because her hair is slightly too long for the breed standard. Anyway hope you enjoy the picture.

Veeru (from Jordan)
Hi Sandi,
The boys just turned a year old!!!Last week Veeru(shady spot) just had his first run in with a skunk! I was at work when it happened and really didn't want to come home when I found out. hahaha. Got home and tried to get him in the tub but he was too big, almost had him in but he put up a struggle so I waited for morning to clean him outside. I tried tomato paste at first, but when I was trying to wash it out it stayed in... so he was half white and half pink, not good!! I don't want a pink dog! I called a dog groomer and she said I should use a liter of hydrogen peroxide to a 1/4 cup baking soda with a little Dawn dish soap also. It worked just fine. The house smelled for a day or two, but wasn't that bad lol. The boys are doing good now, a bit of a hand full at the pet store though. Veeru(shady spot) weighed about 110lbs 2 weeks ago and Jai(all white) was about 105lbs!!! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Homer (from Roady)
Sandi-
We wanted to send you an update on Homer. We also realized it is probably important to mention to you that Homer is allergic to gluten - whether or not it is genetic we do not know - but we wanted to let you know. Homer's mom was Roady. Homer has been an amazing companion. He has been a loving friend or more accurately a brother for our now 14 month old son. Our sons' third word was "Omer" - so we definitely know that Homer is very, very important to him. We were recently out of town due to a death in the family and when Kevin brought Homer home from the kennel Connor ran up and gave him a hug. He missed him!! He loves water - we took him swimming in the creek this afternoon. Next time, we will have to take pictures and send some to you. He has truly been a loving family member. And he is VERY smart. He has figured out how to get out of his crate - though he only does so if he senses danger for us. So, we are happy he knows how to get out. The neighborhood kids all love him. He is truly a blessing to our lives. I think we may be getting to the point of considering getting Homer a companion - though I doubt we would ever consider anything but an AB. So we will have to wait until you have puppies again. Attached are a few pictures of Homer - one with me and him [when he is "allowed" to give a hug and I guess you could say a nice kiss too], and one with Connor - he is always sitting there waiting for Connor to sneak him a piece of food. And he puts up with Connor climbing on his back to getting onto the couch, take naps on him and use his crate. Homer is truly amazing. Thank you so much for "giving" us this loving, caring, loyal and truly amazing AB. He has truly helped us get over our loss of Hobbes even though he is so much like Hobbes.
We hope all is well with you.
Kevin, Chrissy, Connor and Homer

Max (from Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
Just thought I'd check in. I just took Max to the vets for his rattlesnake shot. At 9mo he now weighs 96#. He is SO affectionate. When we get ready for our walks I sit on the stairs to put my shoes on and he sits on the steps above me and hangs his head over my shoulder and licks my ears. He loves walking in the arroyo with the Quail, Jack Rabbits, and Roadrunners. Makes him feel like "Great dog hunter". He likes to flush them out and chase them. If we come up on a patch of sand, he likes to stick his nose in it and blow bubbles while pouncing up and down throwing it everywhere. Such a clown! We find him to be extremely entertaining. The vet said he won the Beauty Prize of the day and that he would probably top out at about 140#. We should have named him "Moose". You can hear him thundering around upstairs. (delicate little flower).
Love ya! Marni

Molly aka Mink Stole (from Faith)
Hi Sandi,
Adam and I just wanted to send you some pictures of Molly (Mink Stole). She's doing great and has taken to her new home very well. We had a few issues with potty training but chalked it up to half of it being our fault for not catching on to her signs. She's had some tummy troubles which we've seen our vet twice for but I just read a testimonial on your site whose puppy was having the same issues and we're going to try out the suggested dog food to see if that doesn't do the trick. Currently, Molly is about 31 pounds at 4 months so she's growing like a weed! She and our 9 month old Pomeranian, Sasha, get along even better than we expected. We took Sasha in to have her spayed and all day, Molly walked around, with her tail down, missing her. As soon as we brought Sasha home, Molly laid by her bed and watched over her. They were the best of friends from Day One and bring us so much joy every day. Molly is a lover and loves to lay on your feet and shower them with kisses! :-) She also loves car rides and likes her walks in the dog park near the house and of course, loves playing with her "sister!"
We hope this email finds you doing well. Thank you for being such an excellent breeder!!
Respectfully,
Adam and Trish / Molly and Sasha

you are a God send. Gus is just perfect. I haven't seen Geoff smile like this since Butkas passed 4 months ago. He is a little scared of the huge thunderstorm we had this A.M. He slept between our two pillows next to the 9 month old. Talk about a community bed. He is gorgeous and so laid back. Everyone loves him and it has only been an hour and a half. Thank you so much and we will keep you posted. He goes to the vet this P.M.

INFORMATIONAL
Hi Sandi,
if anyone comes to you asking about their dog and excessive gas I have found a food that works for us. Ours girls were absolutely terrible! I have been feeding a grain-free dog food. It is called Taste of the Wild and it comes in 3 different flavor varieties. I really works with the gas and Lucy was chewing on her feet a lot and has completely stopped doing it since I switched to grain-free. I was originally feeding Science then switched to Chicken Soup for a while and that didn’t help either. On this food their stools are solid and smaller. I also noticed after a time if we have missed a few during yard scooping and find it later, it has turned white and breaks down.

Kona aka Cover Girl (from Cutter)
Hi Sandi,
It's been a while so we wanted to check in and say HI and send pictures. Kona is doing great! We just got home from the dog park and she is sleeping on the floor. We love her so much. She is such an awesome dog and companion. She is a few days shy of 9 mos...I can't believe it...and she weighs 70 lbs. She is so sweet and everyone that meets her falls in love with her and can't believe how beautiful she is. People always stop us (no matter where we are) b/c they want to pet her and comment on how beautiful and well-behaved she is, especially at such young age.
She loves going for car rides, walks, runs, to the dog park and she LOVES going to doggie day care at the Claws and Paws Inn. We take her there every now and then and she has a blast. She runs circles around all the other dogs the whole time she is there. Her favorite friends are a Great Dane and an English Bulldog. She follows the Great Dane everywhere! Kona is full of energy and very friendly and playful. She also likes going to Yappy Hour on Saturdays at the Happy Dog Cafe here in Belmont, NC, where they get free doggie daiquiris and doggie treats and play with other dogs.
She is very well behaved and she has already graduated from puppy class and intermediate class. In the fall we plan to take her to the advanced class. She has a few friends in class as well and she loves the trainer. Everyone else in the class called her the teacher's pet! That's our girl;-)
Anyway, we hope you are doing well and are having a great summer. We like to show Kona pictures of her mom and dad and brothers and sisters. We enjoy reading your testamonials. Have a great one and we will be back in touch.
Love,
Kona, Alli and Steve

Zuko (from Roady)
Hi Sandi,
Sorry I haven't written you back any sooner. I've been sooo busy with "freedom" or as we have named him Zuko. He's a little handful. He is hands down the greatest puppy I've ever had and I think about him all day long while I'm at work. Potty training has gone perfectly!! He's only had a couple of accidents when I slept in too late. He loves to play and always always always wants to be outside. He likes to yell at me when I don't take him out enough. I love his little baby bark J I can't help but laugh at him even though he's trying to be serious. I just say oooh you're terrifying J He lays in the strangest positions he's just the funniest thing. I've attached some pictures I've taken of him recently. I vote he's the cutest thing on the planet. I'll update you more as he grows.
Thanks again for my new best friend Zuko.

Hello Sandi,
We wanted to send you an update on our beautiful boy Mr. Bigg (aka Right Way). We took a family camping trip this weekend and he had a blast as usual. I want to tell you everything about him but you already know how perfect he is. All we can say is WOW, HE IS REALLY OUR'S! Thank you, Thank you so much! I can't believe he is already seven months old, he weighted in at 77lbs. He does it all! We are still in shock that he fetched sticks out of the lake all day. He loves the water along with everything/everyone else. He also makes the perfect jogging partner for me. I hope you enjoy the pic's from this weekend.
Take care, God Bless,

Roco aka Neon Lights (from Faith)
Hi Sandi,
I been so busy giving Roco all of my attention since I have picked him up I only had a min to write you just to let you know that I have received him. I want to thank you so much for giving Roco to us. He is gorgeous!!! His markings are incredible!!! My son has not left Roco''s side since the second I picked him up from school. He is so happy and excited he calls him his baby brother :). I was married at a young age and lost my husband to cancer when I was 21 years old. My son was just about to turn 2. He has been through an emotional roller coaster. So its been him and I for the past 8 years. For the past 3 years he has been begging for a dog ( I believe every little boy needs a dog :) ) and finally this year he has done excellent in school getting honor for the first time and his behavior has completely improved so after months of researching dogs we decided on American Bulldogs. And after searching hundreds of sites I came across yours and fell in love with Roco. Great looking dog. I believe Roco is the piece that we are both missing from our lives. He is so sweet and cuddles a lot already. He has me on one side and Sam ( my son ) on the other lol. Sam says today is the happiest day of his life and there is nothing better than hearing that from him. I have always tried my hardest to give him everything he has wanted because of the struggles he has been through and Roco is definitely that piece we needed. He has so much love already. I will keep you updated with some pictures and let you know how he is doing. And again thank you so much for blessing us with Roco.
Thanks

Koda aka Ethan (from Roady)
HI Sandi,
It's going very well. Koda is very comfortable in the house now, and he loves the toilet paper roller in the bathroom, and unwinding it (LOL). He was comfortable with his crate on the first day and goes in there for his naps everyday. He's very good about going potty outside and we've only had a few spills, all of which were our fault for not seeing the signs. You were right too, he is a chewing machine. Even with all the biting and chewing he makes up for it in just how cuddly and loving he is. He also likes to give kisses and snuggle and sleep on our laps.
We introduced him to his new cousin (my sister-in-laws dog, Max, who's a cocker spaniel), and they hit off immediately, like old friends.
Thanks for checking in,

Just wanted to send you an updated picture of Kaiah. She is at 7 months and is weighing 54 pounds. She is so smart and is very protective of her Mom. I have had no problems training her to stay in her boundaries anymore. She listens and behaves so well. I can't thank you enough for giving me the best dog I have ever had. I think that she takes after her Mom a lot, she runs so fast and can stop and turn on a dime. I am so glad that you weathered the storm and came out safe and sound. I hope all is well with you! I still hope to come down and see you this fall. God bless! I will keep in touch.
Take care!

Hi Sandi,
I thought I'd send a note to say hello and give you an update and photo of Gus and Lyla (9 months and 10 months old in this picture). They're doing great and they are gorgeous dogs!! It's fun having two American Bulldogs, because you get to see the different personalities - Gus is more laid back and Lyla is very sociable and curious about everything. They are both very smart, lovable, and loyal - we couldn't ask for better dogs! Their physical strength is incredible, but at the same time they are very gentle with people. Thanks again for helping us complete our family with Gus and Lyla - I can't imagine our lives without them!

Knox AKA Gallant (from Roady)
Hey Sandi,
So Knox is doing much better. Yesterday I had him do a sit-stay for two minutes come to me, sit and lay down all with hand commands.(9 weeks old !!!) I did not say a word. It was very impressive. He is extremely smart. This was all after learning how to lay down in about five minutes right before that.
He has moved up to no leash status in the house and is doing great. He is starting to listen to the constant No! and has started to focus more on his toys. This morning was the first time he let me know he needed to go out by whining and running to the door. I let him out and he immediately went potty.
I have stopped giving treats when he refuses to walk on leash and have been just walking briskly with a little tug and saying "come on" and it has worked nicely. I think he knows now that when I go, he goes..no matter what. He played all day yesterday with my friends' 60 pound lab puppy. That is their second play date and they seem to be getting along nicely and hopefully that will be a consistent thing so he has a buddy in the neighborhood.
Anyways, thanks for all of your help and I will keep you updated. I am going to try and get some good pictures so when I do I will send them your way.
John
PS. I found out he really loves belly rubs and this has really helped with his training. I read that in order to have a good working relationship with your dog you must reward them with the correct motivators. His are Dog Biscuits and Belly Rubs!

Hi, Hope you had a nice Easter and congratulations on your new arrivals...as usual...Beauties!!! Just thought I'd forward the pics I promised. Going camping at the beach this weekend. Here they let you take the dogs down to the beach. Should be a nice weekend...mid 70's and a new experience for my demure 75lb baby.
We start our intermediate classes on Monday. Can't let him go too long without school. He also may be featured in the brochure for the school...pretty cool, huh? When I get one I'll send it to you. We'll be in touch.
Now I see where Max gets his size!!! Between Seeder and Cutter WOW!! I guess we're not even half way there at 5 1/2 months. Thanks again for my second bestest friend (hubby #1). Oh, I meant to thank you also for the recommendation of the "American Bulldog " book (on your web site). I have read it cover to cover and picked up a lot of extremely helpful information.

Just wanted to give you an update on Roxy aka as Uptown from Seeder and Cutter. She is such a wonderful dog! She truly is a blessing. She (like all of your puppies) is very smart! She has learned sit, down, wait, paw (both paws) and many other commands. She has so much fun going for walks and has been wonderful with the new baby. She truly has such a distinct personality and is always getting into mischief!
She is also a very good watch dog! We let her out to go the bathroom at night and she walks all along the perimeter of the house, making sure everything is how it should be. THANK YOU! Hopefully someday we will be able to get her a playmate! :)

Once again thank you, I have owned so many different breeds of dogs and she is by far the smartest and most loveable dog I have ever owned. She is six months and now weighs 54lbs.

Hi Sandi,
Did I ever tell you WHY I chose your pup? I had looked at all different am. bulls. and read all about there "wonderful" petigrees and how all were the "best" but never once did I read how they were raised or that they were loved. I did not want to buy a pup from somewhere the parents were kept in a small kennel in the back yard. Kept only for breeding and not for loving. When I read your page, I knew Lily was coming from a place full of love and when I met you, that was confirmed. Your Faith in God and respect for life is an inspiration and I thank God that He brought you and Lily into my life.

Porterhouse aka Tan Man (From Elka)
Sandi,
Just wanted to drop you a note as promised, let you know how things are with the pup. Porter has developed very well. He is only 10 months but already 70lbs. He polishes off 11" of a 12" rawhide in less than an hour. He is kind of like having a strutting, drooling, happy, playful, muscle coated MACHINE. He is remarkably smart he learns tricks and commands with reward based training SO YES He is VERY SHARP. Potty training was a relative breeze compared to other dogs I've had, or been involved with. His markings get him all the attention he can handle and he loves it. Hes a very publicly exposed dog. VERY WELL MANNERED. When children approach him, tug on him, try to ride him, he is unbelievably gentle. He wears me out. He is ornery and SUPER PLAYFUL. He loves water, swam like a champ at 5 months old, even now though its cold. Its hard to keep him out of the lake when we walk. He makes a crazy wild bunch of SOUNDS but rarely barks [unless our other dog or the neighbor's dog is barking]. He's anxious but not aggressive with other dogs. He likes to spook the cat but they've got along great since the moment we brought him home - though I think the cat would rather him be back with you on the farm [a little prissy]. And as many shenanigans as he gets into not much phases him.
Thank you so much Sandi. Please pass along or post my e-mail address to prospective puppy parents for an excellent reference. Hope all is well with you on the farm during these trying times. Take care and I''ll send you some more pix in June . We are going to throw him a big B-day party.

Baby
Sandi,
Here is a photo of Baby. Baby now weighs 64 pounds, which should give you a "glance" at how extremely large my big Bubby (Brutus) has gotten. By the way, Brutus is the sweetest boy in the entire world. I cannot imagine another male dog being better. Especially a male.
Baby is very active, very silly and very clumsy (which makes her more silly!). She is such a great joy to have. Brutus LOVES her. I absolutely love her to death. She is the BEST bulldog I have had. I mean I love Bruty so much, but Baby is such a silly, loveable creature, that she has captured ALL our hearts. My daughter LOVES her to death. They love the Fireplace. Baby loves water too. Can't wait until summer to take her swimming. Brutus is very good. Eric took him out on his boat in the summer and he kept jumping in to the water, he loved it so much. Guess that is why they have webbed feet.
Sandi, I so hope you are doing well. I went to Roady's home page and saw her Great Grandmother, named Baby, was so beautiful, that I stuck with that name. What a beautiful bloodline. Plus, the look of Seeder in each pup, I think you have such a great dog breeding. If Seeder is like Brutus, I can totally see why you have bred him.I wish you the best of luck, I'll send you more photos and will keep in touch and send photos as they grow. I say as they, because Brut is not done yet! What a WONDERFUL dog. The very reason I came back to you for Baby. I love you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a great week. Thank you for my babies!!!!
More photos to come.

Max aka Doubletree
Hi!
Just looked at your "new arrivals"...Oh my God!! They are sooo beautiful...as usual. Just a little update on Max aka Double Tree. He is turning out to be quite the item. We have finished our first session of puppy classes and start the beginner on Saturday. He is an amazing animal! Quite smart and not to mention a "head turner". He is getting the basic commands down really well and settling in. We don''t have quite as many "puppy-dum" episodes. He tries very hard to please us. He is sleeping on my feet after our 2 mi walk.
We also took him to South Carlsbad state beach park for the weekend and he was the camp "greeter". He bonded with the motorhome and the routine immediately! I have great plans for this one.He has a couple of friends down the street...a black pit - Lulu, an English Bull next door - Abby, and a boxer - Rocky. He truly has a tough life. Here are a few pictures to show you what a true beauty he is becoming. As always...
Thanks!

Cairo aka Flashdance
Hello Sandi, I recieved this pup around April, She was then known as Flashdance, a breed between lil Faith and Seeder! But here she goes by Cairo, we've loved having her here on our ranch, just like their nature, she seems to think she is a cow dog. After we had our baby she had to get less attention which she was ok with and never jealous of the baby. Like her mother she learned each different command within 10 minutes of being introduced to it!
It amazes me how smart she is, thank you for all!

Buc aka Big Al
Sandi,
Buc is now 6 months old and weighs 80lbs. He is such a lovable puppy which means he still thinks he can lay on my lap to watch TV, he doesn''t realize how big he is yet. He loves to wrestle, play and cuddle a lot. He also eats a lot of dog food (unbelievable), he is very sweet and we love him to death. He has lots of nick-names that the kids have given him but the most poplar is "the chunk of love"...lol..will update again when he celebrates his 1 year birthday.
Thank you, Chris and family

Diesel aka Vinnie
Thanks again for the great puppy!!! He has been great to us and a great friend for our one year old Bulldog Zoey. Our oldest dog Coco has just passed after 15 years with us and we are getting a French Bulldog to add to our rapidly growing family. The bulldogs have been the best dogs that we have ever had. They are both so so good with our boys and just the funniest things to watch as they are so curious about all of the new things that they are seeing. The snow was great he stayed outside almost all day the days that it snowed. He liked to stick his nose in the snow and flick it into the air. We will try to keep you posted as he and our family grows!!!!
Thank you Nathan and Chrissy

Lacey aka Angelina
Hello Sandi,
I wanted to drop you a note to update you on the progress of Lacey also known as "Angelina". What a great addition to the family. She fits right in! She will be 4 months old in a few days and weights about 31 pounds. She has been completely potty trained and doing well, she rings the bell at the back door when it's time to go out! She has learned all types of tricks so far, she gives 5 and high 5, speaks, sits, stay, waits for a treat, comes when called, and she even knows how to give her left paw and right paw and visa versa! She is very smart! She is a very vocal dogs - I swear she is having an entire conversation sometimes. She is doing great with Thomas, our 2 ½ year old. They are buddies! On a few nice days we have taken the both of them to the park to play. She climbs all over the jungle gym with him and even goes down the slide.. It's unbelievably cute! She does everything with him. Even though Zena, my Rotti, is missed. Lacey has brought so much joy to the household not to mention the laughter. She has such a beautiful personality. People always say that I am brave bring a puppy into the house while being 7 months pregnant but she is not the typical puppy. Believe it or not, she is very down to earth and for the most part just hangs out. Of course, we do put our time in with at least 20-30 minutes of training every night, playtime and getting her out of the house to either our local pet store or Puppy Park. I can't wait until the weather breaks to get her out more and more!!! As you can see from the updated pictures, she is becoming such a beautiful lady and we get compliments all the time of what a beautiful dog. Thanks again for producing such a good puppy!
Thank you, Renee

Mr. Bigg aka Rightway
Dear Ms. Shank,
I hope your doing well and enjoying the snow. Mr. Bigg (right way) is doing great! We have had him almost one month and love him to pieces. He has added so much FUN and happiness to our lives. I have a home childcare business so our house it grand central station with a ton of children/parents in our home daily. Which means Mr. Bigg needs very good manners and an outgoing personality-he has all that and then some. He loves greeting people and knows the rules of the house already. He is so good with all the children and truly enjoys being with them. He is a comedian, remarkably intelligent and knows sit, stay, down, leave it, shake, fetch, walks on the leash, and we are working on rolling over-he loves it. He just turned three months old and is already 35 lbs. He is so eager to please and I believe he thinks he is one of the kids. If one of the children gets a piece of paper to color on, he will go to the art basket and grab a piece of paper and follow them with it in his mouth (monkey see, monkey do). It''s hilarious how the kids have become his pack and whatever they are doing so is he. He did the same thing with the toy bucket's. It took about two weeks to teach him to get his own toys in the laundry room instead of the children's toys, but he has mastered that as well. Thank you so very much for our new baby, he is ONE OF A KIND!!! I hope you enjoy the photo's!
Have a wonderful weekend

Just wanted to give you an update on Aspen, AKA, taildot. wow! what an incredible dog. I tell you unlike any dog ive seen.Aspen is now 7 months old and close to 75 lb. Let me tell you she is a loyal, beautiful, and a very affectionate dog. She has her funny querks as well. One being, she paws everyone when she wants attention, similar fashion to a boxing motion. Also when introducing herself to you or just saying hi she loves to put your hand in her mouth in a gentle way almost like thats her way of saying hello. These small things keep me smiling and happy to come home every day from from a long day at work..
Thank You.

Harley AKA Wing Man
Hi there!
I just wanted to give you an update of Harley aka: "Wing Man". He is beyond wonderful! He is now 15 weeks old and knows: sit, give me paw, give me other paw, lay down, and up. Because he is so intelligent, he is so FUN to train! He is getting better everyday with the typical biting, but surprisingly enough, he has never been a "chewer". Potty training was great from day one, however you start them with potty training is amazing because we barely have had to do any of the work in that department! He is overall an amazing, beautiful American Bulldog. There is so much to his personality, and he loves family and friend get-togethers so he can be center of attention! It is nice to be able to take him everywhere with us because he is so friendly! Our neighbor even asked for your number, he has always wanted an AB, and he is very impressed with Harley. Thank you for such a wonderful addition to our home! I will continue to keep you updated!
Sincerely,
Kristen C. - A very proud AB owner!

Mr. Big AKA Rightway
Dear Ms. Shank,
Mr. Bigg (Right Way) has made it home safe and sound! When we picked him up from the airport he was a bit anxious but once we got him out of the crate he was giving kisses and acting like he knew all of us-he is amazing!!
He has to be the most beautiful, BIG, chunky, happy fellow we have ever seen. We arrived home from the airport and he started eating, drinking & playing! He made himself right at home. We have a 10 yr. old staffy that instantly loved him as well. He has already went potty outside several times and it is now 10:30pm and he is passed out on the sofa from his long journey!
We are so, so grateful to have him, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! I will send another update soon!

Kona AKA Covergirl
Hi Sandi,
We just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and send you a few pictures of Kona. We named her Kona b/c it means "Lady" in Hawaiian. Steve and I went to Hawaii in May for our honeymoon and loved it! She is doing very well and we love her! She's AWESOME! All of our friends and family have fallen in love with her too. She has already learned to sit on command and before she goes outside or comes in and before she eats. Sometimes she will sit before she meets new people but we're still working on that. She is doing pretty good with her house training but obviously we still have a few accidents...she's still young and she's only been here a week! Hope you are doing well.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Casey AKA Laura
Hi Sandi,
It's been a long time since we've checked in but just wanted to say Merry Christmas and hope you have a happy and healthy 2009. Casey is doing great. She is such a great dog I don't even know where to start. It's a pleasure having her as our pet. She lives to please us, is so cuddly and a well behaved dog! She has been a great addition to our family, I can't believe we've had her over a year already. About a month or so ago she went for her one year check up and got all her vaccines and rabi shot again and the vet said he could tell immediately what a great dog she was. He loves her! She plays so great with our almost 4 year old daughter and our 5 year old pug Rosco. They are pretty funny together. So from our family to yours, Happy Holidays!
Best,

Max AKA Double Tree
Hi Sandi,
Merry Christmas! Just thought I'd give you an update on Max's progress. He seems to be settling in quite nicely...What a pistol!! We have had 2 puppy classes and it was like night and day with his response. He hung with the "Big Dogs". He knows come and sit already, but we are still getting used to the leash and collar. The house-breaking is coming along quite well too. Just a couple of pee accidents when it was raining, but the poops have all been outside...YAY. He even asks to go outside. He is an amazingly smart pup and we go back to class 1/10. Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and thanks again for our new member of our family.

Wrigley AKA Polar Bear
Hey Sandi,
Just thought that I would send you an update on Polar Bear. We have renamed him Wrigley since we are huge Chicago Cubs fans. He is doing very well. Wrigley and our other dog Suzie get along great, even better than I expected. He is getting big, when we weighted him a few days ago he was 17.9 lbs. He is smart, he has already learned to sit and come to command and he even knows to go outside and potty and come right back to the door. Today was the first day that he whined at the door to go outside. I will attach some pics of him so you can see how big he has got. Thank you so much for the new addition to our family, he is fitting right in.

Lili Update
Hi Sandi~
I wanted to send you a couple of pictures of Lili (aka Mabelline) from Jordon''s last years litter. She is doing so well with her advanced obedience classes and as you can see in the pictures, she is also doing very well wearing her pack. It is so great that she can carry a lot of our stuff when we go hiking. And she LOVES it!! When I pick up her pack, she gets so excited! She knows that we are going for a hike and she is so proud to wear her pack. Her head and tail are high when she has it on! She is at the head of her obedience class, working off leash reliably. She will be going for her Canine Good Citizen certification in a couple of months. Lili is such a kind, gentle soul. I am considering going further with her and continue her training so that she can be a therapy dog. I would love to have her work with Autistic kids. Her size and gentle nature would make her perfect for the job. I can never thank you or God enough for bringing this wonderful dog into my life. I am truly blessed!
Love

Buc AKA Big Al
Sandi,
As promised here is an update on Buc (aka..Big Al). At 13 weeks last week he was 36lbs so he is going to be very big we think. He was crate trained in less than a week, house broke in less than 3 weeks. He likes to sit on top of us when we are on the couch so not sure how much longer he will be able to do that because of his size, he is very lovable and loves a lot of attention. He likes to take all the shoes and put them behind the couch. He likes being in the back yard a lot. He learned how to sit, shake and down with just 3 practices, he is very smart, he also does high 5 with the kids. It took us awhile to come up with a name until one day he was running around the house as fast as he could for about 5 minutes just going crazy so we officially named him (registered) "Buc Wild"...Very sweet dog and he has made us very happy, thank you.

Spike Update!!!
Hey Sandi!!!
Its Rachel and John from NY..We wanted to give you an update ....Spike is now 1 1/2 years old and 120 lbs and still growing! He is the best dog! He is so silly and goofy and doesnt realize he is sooooo big! He loves to play with his sis Lydia and insists on sleeping with us every night despite our numerous attempts to get him into his own bed! He loves walking in the park and loves people and especially babies! We love him so much and could not imagine life without Spike!
Thanks Sandi!

Lindsey AKA Icicle
Hi Sandi,
Icicle, now named Lindsey, is doing absolutely wonderful. She has been excellent with all the grandkids and has not had one accident in the house. She has a very compliant personality and is so eager to please. I'm going to try my best to get her a vet appointment tomorrow. I just took these pics of her and two of my granddaughters lying in the floor watching television. She played herself out and is in a dead sleep.
Thanks for everything,

Elly aka Little Eagle
Elly hiked 3 miles with us Saturday as we explored Whitaker's Point at Haksbill Crag near Ponca, AR. There were photographers taking her picture again. She kept up very well, but it wore her out. When we got to the car, she put her head next to a cool drink and passed out. On Sunday, our church had a picnic at Rutledge-Wilson Farm. There were animals there to pet and none of them were pet as much as Elly was pet. Atleast 50 different kids pet her that day and many adults as well. She did really well on a leash that day. When we are out among strangers, she usually does well on a leash because she wants to stay next to me. I have also been leaving the leash on her in the house some. When I walk in to another room, I'll grab the leash and she will walk with me. The leash will have slack the whole time and then I'll give her a treat. This works well. She is very well behaved for me and listens well. I think she has Jenny's number though.

Hi Sandi,
I am attaching some pictures of Sebastian who is 4 months now and weighs 40 pounds. He is growing so beautifully. He has bought lots of joy to our lives. He loves the city life. As you can see from his pictures he rides around with my husband in grand style. He is so smart and very well mannered. He''s made many friends in the neighborhood and is very social with other dogs even those bigger than himself. He is fearless. We thank you for bringing him into our lives.

Gus Update
Hi Sandi,
I took a few new pictures of Gus this past week and thought I'd send you an update - he's doing great! He's growing fast - almost 30 lbs. now! The pic of him with Bo was from yesterday when my guy's brother came for a visit with his dog (the Doberman). They got along nicely and Gus was worn out by the end of the day! We've been going to puppy classes and will finish that up next week. Then we're going to start obedience training classes after that. The instructor has used Gus several times to demonstrate new things because he's so smart and well behaved. Thanks for breeding dogs with such good temperments - we're really enjoying him!
Take care,

As far as River goes.... I am soooo in love with her. She is more than I could have ever asked for. She is eating good and playing.But she is a BIG BABY and I love it. She wants to be with me all the time and cuddle and kiss. She is very loving and very good.She has had a couple accidents but I really cant complain she does really good going potty. She went to the vet yesterday and got all good marks. What can I say....she has totally stolen my heart. AFTER JUST A DAY. I cannot believe how good I feel having her in my life.
I cannot thank you enough.

Keegan AKA Butterfly Wings
Keegan is doing great today, she is out in the pack with all eight today, mostly in the house because the older little girls play kind of rough with her. Conner protects her so nice. He is super sweet with her. She is very confident, she has no fear walking around with the pack. It's so cute because she is so little. She eats good so that's great. My vet says she's a great lookin baby. He can't wait until I have pups from the two because he wants one. By that time his wife will be done with school and have time for a puppy.
Oh, and no accidents in the house since the first day. She wakes at 2am to go potty.
Thanks again for such a great pup, Terah

Sloopy aka Omega Update
Sandi,
I know it seems like forever since I have emailed. Sloopy (Omega) is doing great. Nine months and around 75 pounds. She remains smart and loving, but she can easily pull a grown man around playing tug of war. She watches over Sammy like a guardian angel. Her intelligence and friendly, but aloof attitude is the talk of the dog owners in the neighborhood. People are often intimidated by her looks, but can't help but laugh at her playful antics. They get the biggest kick out of a 40 pound six year old who can walk and get a 75 pound bulldog to sit, lie and heel on command.
Kevin
Roscoe AKA Donahue
Ms. Shank,
Just thought I drop a few lines to update you on Donahue. His new name is Roscoe and he seems to know it too. The housebreaking is going very well......only a few accidents (to be expected). He plays very well with my parents minature pincher. I've been socializing him very often, from my grandmother down to my 8 year old nephew. He's been to the vet for his wellness check-up and distemper/parvo shot. Roscoe gets complimented on his beauty everywhere we go, by everybody. On the way home from the airport, it was clearly obvious to my parents and I, that Roscoe had been loved and cared for tremendously. This is a testament to your dilegence, hard-work and efforts to raising a wonderful puppy. I never miss the chance to tell everyone where he came from and believe me, I will continue to spread the good word about Second Wind. A few other items, Roscoe sits on command and without me telling him, before we go outside and come inside. I just taught him to shake yesterday. I must admit, I'm amazed with his intelligence. I'll try to send pictures (gotta borrow a camera from a buddy first). Thank you again for all that you've done for me and Roscoe.
Greg Q.
Porterhouse AKA Tan Man
Sandi-
Just thought I'd let you know. Porter is HUGE. 30lbs of muscle. More than doubled his weight in one month! Hes happy and healthy ruling the house but is obiedient and energetic. Likes to swim! On his first visit to the lake he Jumped right in and swam out to waist deep water to a raft and climbed up like he was born for the water! We were all a little anxious about how he would respond to the water but hes a champ. A 4 legged Michael Phelps! He is preturbed by frogs though. Will send you pictures soon.

We go for a mile walk with Marley, Moon and Mayzie and she is doing good. She walks/gets carried. She enjoys it though. A friend brought a 3 ½ month old AB over to play last night with Marley, mayzie and moon too. Moon loved her, Mayzie was afraid of her at first. She is 36lbs and was a little rough with her. Mayzie is about 17 lbs. Growing great, super appetite. DOING GREAT!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You really have great dogs!!! I am so happy that we found you! You have brought so much happiness to our family with your puppies, I can't even tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stoli aka Gracie
She is so sweet. Complete strangers will stop and ask to pet her, and can not believe how sweet she is, she loves all the boys she comes across. She goes just about everywhere with me, softball games, home depot, camping, even the local tavern lets her come in.... and of course, pouts when she has to stay at home.
Thanks again!!

Update of Roxy aka Uptown
Hi Sandi-
Here are some new pictures of Roxy. She is so much fun! She truly is such a joy. She's been doing so well lately. She hasn't had an accident in the house in months! She is such a socialite! She loves going to the dog park and playing with all of the other dogs! Thank you so much! We hope you enjoy the pictures!
Love,
Michelle, Joe and Roxy
Update on Lexi
Hi Sandi,
Just wanted to send some pics. Of Lexi aka "Diana" from Jordan's Bunch!!! She just turned 1 year old weighing in at 85 lbs. She is built like a tank and very muscular like her mom. She has a wonderful personality and loves to cuddle. We're so glad to have her a part of our family.
Thank You so Much,
Lori, Brandon, Trinity, Ty, & Lexi
Winston
Winston is everything we could have hoped for in a puppy! He has such a personality! Him and Cash (our cat) have a love-hate relationship and chase each other around the house all the time!
Every morning we go for our morning walks and he is getting to know the area. So the picture is of me and Winston is at my Mom's house this past weekend. He's been in the pool once but I wasn;t around. He was with Dan. Dan said that he swims like a rock (LOL) but seemed to enjoy it :) We plan on taking a few camping trips in the fall so we'll see how he like fresh water swimming.
KATY
Samson aka Olson
Hi Sandi!
We bought our puppy, Samson, from you a few months ago, and we just thought we'd give you an update, and tell you how absolutely wonderful he is! He is about six months old now, and weighs a good 40 - 45 pounds, and is as spotty as Seeder (Who we think he looks JUST like!)
He is the absolute best dog ever. He loves to cuddle, and is such a big baby. He is an unbelievable listener, no one can believe how well behaved he is. We actually brought him to Petsmart yesterday afternoon, and while we were there, Samson was getting all of the attention. We even had a woman come up to us and tell us he was the most beautiful dog she had ever seen. She is currrently looking for a new puppy, so I gave her your website, and your name, because she wouldn't stop raving about how beautiful he is, and she said she'll be contacting you very very soon :]
Well, We are attaching some pictures so you can see how much he has grown. He was part of Jordan and Seeder's most recent litter, and the name you had given him was Olson :]
Thank you so so much for everything! - Bryan and Briana
UPDATE: Ava
Good Morning Sandi!
I have attached a recent photo of Ava. She is growing like a weed on steroids! She is almost 65 pounds now! She is the greatest thing ever, and even though she has her “puppy” moments she is turning into a very good dog. This picture is her laying on my daughters bed, I thought you would like to see how amazing her markings came out. She is truly a wonderful dog! Thanks again and I hope things are well with you!
Love,

Reba on vacation Lake Ocoee!
HI SANDI,
Back from our weekend.Took Reba to Lake Ocoee. I was going to call you to ask if AB's like water or not but decided to take a chance.She was wonderful. She listened and behaved herself under difficult situations. On the way back to the boat I stopped by the boat ramp where you put in your boats and I let her get her feet wet. She liked it. She liked that a few waves came up and kept on sticking her paws in it to make the water jump in the air. Then she would jump like a bunny into deeper water over her head. I let her go and just called her to come to me and she immediately started swimming.She loved it !!!! I wish I would have had a video of her jumping like a bunny around in the water. Crazy. She was good with strangers she met on the dock. She let the children pet her. Next I might get her a life jacket and goggles and we will put her on the jet ski with Tom and I. :)I think REba is getting more spots daily.Now on her ears. She looks more like her dad daily. ha. She still has her moms sweet face.
Debbie
Luke aka Blizzard at 4 months

Lucy aka Dually has traveled to Kansas City for her new permanent home with her littermate sister, Olivia aka Sweetheart
Oh Olivia is definitely the leader!If Lucy gets a toy that Olivia is not even playing with, Olivia goes over and takes it.She has actually gotten a little better about it last night and this morning.Last night she started walking around sniffing the floor and started whining.I took her right outside and she pooped.That was sooo good that she told us!
Well, we were going to let them share a kennel but we decided to get another one.It is actually working out great.They are side by side in the spare bedroom so they can see each other but have their own space.When they are not in the kennels, they are always together.Lucy is still a little nervous with new sounds, people.....but she is starting to come out of her shell.She will be just fine!We love her!

Reba at her new home
HI SANDI,
We were so glad to meet you. No wonder Reba is a wonderful dog.She is so sweet , so wonderful and I know it all comes from your wonderful character.I told Tom this morning I could see you bouncing around your farm with your pony tail swinging and a smile on your face taking care of your babies.We are glad we got the opportunity to meet you and see the farm and all. It was wonderful. Our ride to MO was a wonderful experinece.She walked on her leash a little. She really thinks it is to eat not walk with.She is upstairs with Tom taking a nap. They are so cute together. I told him he wanted a lap dog and this was not the one to start this with but I didnt have the heart not to let him have her nap with him in the big recliner.You are a wonderful mom to all of your animals.I cant imagine anyone more caring.
I will continue to keep in touch.
love ya debbie and tom
Olivia aka Sweetheart at her new home.
Hi Sandi,
I'm sure you are dying to know how she is doing today.We did decide on Olivia for her name.She was a little trooper on the drive home.We stopped a few times to potty.She did throw up early into drive so I am glad I brought the extra towel.Once we got into Kansas City we still had to stop by my daughter's work, she was dying to see her!She got sooo much attention there from everyone!We went to Land of Paws over there too and bought her a cute light green collar with big brown polka dots on it and a matching leash.She also got a big stuffed bulldog and some treats.She slept a lot once we got home because I know she was stressed.She has had no accidents in the house and she slept through the night without fussing…..such a good girl!We have a much bigger cage here at the house that has a cover on it for nighttime.My neighbors love her.She has been playing with her toys this morning and now she is snoring, ha ha!I am so impressed with your home and all of your dogs.Olivia is sooo loved!I will keep in touch with you.Thank you!!

Brutus aka Classic and his new family!
Hi Sandi,
Here is a picture of us and our puppy.We named him Brutus and we just LOVE him!!!
Thank you again for everything, it was a pleasure!!
Brian and Cheryl
Brutus
Sandi, just a quick note here.Hope you are doing well!Brut is now 1.5 years.
He is so very talkative and the goofiest dog ever.He is so full of entertainment, and he has, since neutering, become such a love bug to everyone.Here is the part you may not believe, given Brutty still has 2.5 years to fully fill out.He weighs 138!Right now he looks funny, his body is big, and he has a little pea head.I think they look funny when they go through their growing spurts.When we sit next to each other, he is actually taller than I am!
Just wanted to give you that quick update.I'm excited to see how he turns out at the end.This weekend he was eating a bone outside and he turned to look at me and he looked exactly like the photo you have of his mom, Elka, when she is down on the grown with something and her head is turned to the camera.Just like her, but with daddy's markings.I'm such a proud momma with him.I have gone and spoiled the "little" fella!
Have a blessed day!
Sandra, Baltimore, MD
Our Little Lucy

Diesel aka Cowboy
Good morning Sandi,
Just wanted to give you an update on how Diesel (Cowboy) is doing!Well, it's been one week since we've had our little guy and we couldn't be happier.He has been doing so well.The morning he got here we were all going to take a little nap and we put him in his kennel, well, that didn't last more than 3 minutes when couldn't stand to hear him cry, since then he has been sleeping in our room on the floor next to Jeremy!!He hasn't once had an accident in our room.He sleeps all night long, and sometimes doesn't get up until 6 or 6:30am!He is learning so quickly.He knows not to come in the kitchen, and we even have his treats in there on the counter!He has had a few piddle accidents, but that was to be expected.Diesel has a best friend already, our neighbor has a 4 month old shepherd mix who is taller than him, but I don't think she's heavier than him.She comes over to play all the time and we take them to the dog park almost every night!He is so chill with other dogs, even when they are barking at him! We are going today to get some pictures on a disk so we can put them on the computer, so I'll send you some!Diesel said hi! and we say thank you!Talk to you soon!
Tami & Jeremy
UPDATE: Ava
Hi Sandi,
I was online looking at your new pups and they are gorgeous!!I am so in love with Lucy!If I had the space she would be mine!!!Here are a few new pictures of Ava.She is growing fast, I can't believe it!She is such a good dog and so funny.She loves to sit on the cat, I included a picture of it from my phone so it's a little grainy but anytime poor Milo goes to sleep anywhere Ava will creep up and sit on him.I am hoping she grows out of this before she gets really big!!!She is amazing and people everywhere that we take her love her.I tell everyone about you and your dogs and pass the farm name on to anyone I talk to.Ava is defiantly an ambassador for her breed.I take her to Emma's school about once a month and talk to the kids and parents about her breed and how even though she's got a blocky head and is big she is still a good dog.The kids all love her and she is very patient with them, even when they get really excited.I have her in classes so she can be a therapy dog.I want to take her to children's hospital and local nursing home.I think she will be perfect for it.She loves the beach and we go almost every weekend.Her and Emma love to dig in the sand together.Hope things are well and I was wondering if you are planning on breeding Emma anytime soon, I would love to see her puppies!
Sincerely,
Sarah
Luke AKA Blizzard
Hi Sandi,
I wanted to take the time to thank you for our baby boy. Mywife and I now have our own little family. Somehow when Blizzard cameinto our home, his name changed to Luke! Luke is a well behavedhandsome boy with much love to give out. He is a quick learner andLOVES his Mommy. He is quick to curl up with Mommy on the couch andwatch Dr. Phil, or American Idol. We just love & cherish him so much!We had his first Vet appointment yesterday, and he is perfectly healthy.Sandi, I thank you for the whole process of selling us our puppy. Yourtimely responses to our e-mails, and weekly updates with pictures, wereabove what someone would expect from a typical breeder.Our boy is growing quickly. We will keep you posted on his progress.Once again I thank you for our "Lukey-Boy."

A collage of Gus one of Roady's pups.
Sandi,
I wanted to thank you for providing us with such a beautiful addition to our family.He is a truly wonderful puppy, and at just under 5 months he is growing very quickly, already 45lbs.I included some of the latest pictures for you to see how much he has grown.He is truly one of a kind.We are so happy to have him with us.He has acclimated great to the older dogs in our family.He is also incredibly social, he truly loves people and other dogs.Usually when you walk down the street with a puppy, people always stop to admire, in our case Gus usually stops to say hi to everybody, he is truly a little Love Bug, and as my wife says he is the best Christmas Present she has ever received.I can't thank you enough, and hopefully once we are more settled we can bring another beautiful addition to our family from one of your litters.Cheers, Anu
Ps. the pic of him sleeping with our pit are from the end of January.That was not staged, Gus insisted on sleeping with him early on, he felt very comfortable next to him.Also, as you can tell by the picture with our niece, he is wonderful with kids.Hope you enjoy them, and that you are doing well.
Gus sleeping with his new brother!
Hi Sandi,
Just wanted to show you some recent pics of Casey aka "Laura" from Jordan's dozen last June. She is the best dog ever and has stolen our hearts. What a sweet girl and she is so well behaved. In the pics where she is laying on her back on the couch she actually slept like that for a couple of hours. She loves to stare out the window and just watch the neighborhood. We are so in love with her words cannot express. We ask ourselves everyday, is it the breed, is it becauseshe's female, is it the breeder and we think the answer may be allthree of why she is so great. Her and our 4.5 year old pug Rosco getalong great. They play together, they sleep and love each other somuch. Rosco has this little donut bed and Casey has loved it sinceday one. She was 26 lbs when we got her and Rosco is 22 lbs. Casey isnow just over 60 lbs at 9 months old and still tries to get in hislittle bed it's so funny. Also, Abby, our 3 year old daughter andCasey have a ball playing tug of war and chase, etc.Anyway, hopethis email finds you well. A great big Thank You for our girl Casey.

Ava
Good morning!
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how Ava is doing.She is wonderful!!I will be sending pictures to you soon (my camera battery died and I had to send away for a new one).She has made friends with all the dogs and people in our complex.She has almost been stolen twice, my neighbors just adore her.I think that she is going to grow up and protect everyone.I took her to the vet yesterday for her check; everything is good except she has some allergies.The vet says it is probably because it is spring here, so everything is blooming and it was still snowing when she left you, he says she will adjust fine.She is learning to walk on the leash, but she doesn?t really like it.She follows just fine for me so I tend not to use it.The cats are getting used to her, they sleep in a pile together but they are not yet ready to play with her.She is really well behaved, hasn?t really chewed anything she wasn?t supposed to, and she uses the dog door wonderfully.We took her to dog beach this weekend and she had no idea what to think of the ocean.I took pictures of that and I am waiting for the film to be developed so I will send those as soon as I get them.She is amazing and I love her soooooo much!I am taking her out to the ranch this coming up weekend to let her see the horsesOk I will let you go, hope things are well and I will send pictures as soon as I get them!
Love, Sarah

Sloopy aka Omega
Sandi,
Daisy, (our other dog....Jack Russell) is big by American standards for JRTs, but by European standards she is just a little over average. She weighs in the neighborhood of 22 pounds. She has taken a liking to Sloopy (AKA Omega). They have been playing a lot. You should see them rough housing it's very funny. Daisy knocks her down, and she'll come right back for more. Sam is so happy. They are playing fetch with a chew toy in the living room as I type this. He has learned that if he talks in an authoritative voice she'll listen to him. Sloopy is eating like a horse. She put down about a pound of food yesterday.
We have introduced her to the neighbors, and she is a big hit. I am trying to socialize her with the same people we socialize with daily, so she'll recognize and listen to them. She sits and comes on command. She is catching on to what is a dog toy and what is not as well.

Michelle
Penny
We thought we would drop you a couple recent pictures of Penny. She was from Seeder and Elka on 9/24/06. She is up to 81 pounds of pure bone and muscle. She has a great attitude and is very smart. She is quick to learn tricks and has an ever growing vocabulary which she complicates with an equally large stubborn streak. We live a couple miles from a dog park where we take her frequently to run and play with other dogs. She is just about the most over socialized dog you have ever seen. She hasn?t met a person or a dog she doesn?t like. All the time going for walks and playing at the dog park is keeping her slim figure and keeping her a bundle of rock solid muscle. I am also playing with teaching her to hunt. She has the eyes but not the nose for it. Right now I am playing with teaching her to squirrel hunt but it will probably be just for fun to see if I can teach her more than anything else.
She has been great with everyone since I have been training her for socialization instead of guarding. Most people get her breed wrong because her body looks more like a boxer than a bulldog right now but she is still growing and I expect she will probably put on another 20 pounds yet. She is also unusually tall for a bulldog. Most people think she is a boxer mix. I haven?t measured her, but I think she is taller than both Seeder and Elka. I think she will still broaden out some at the shoulder but you can tell she already has a pretty impressive chest without being overweight.

Heather and Lili
Hi Sandi~
Lili is a beautiful girl and a good representative for ABs. She is friendly, cute as the dickens, very smart and impressive in size (50# @ 5 mos.). People always ask about her breed, where I got her, etc. I tell them all about you and your current litter (I check your page every couple of days). As much interest and compliments I get on Lili, I would not be surprised if some folks contact you from up here. I will always recommend you, my friend. Your stock is superior and the love and attention you give each and every pup results in beautiful well-balanced dogs. We love Lili and the AB breed and will continue to encourage people to explore these versatile and wonderful dogs.Lili really likes all other dogs and people. That is one thing that people ask me a lot. We keep Lili socialized and take her everywhere. She is always experiencing new people, places and dogs. We love her so!
God bless you Sandi!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving,Stephanie, Bart and Family

But it looks like she will have some competition soon were about to have a baby in March but I think she'll love having someone to play with all the time. ha ha.. But again, thank you for the blessing you gave us on her..... We love her with all our heart!!
Lexi aka Diana
Lexi has brought so much happiness into our lives. She is the sweetest thing, my children love her and she loves playing with them. She likes to take all of her toys out of her toy box and watch me pick them up. She also likes going on long walks around the park and lake(I think she just likes to chase the ducks?..lol) We couldn't have made a better decision. She made our home complete !
Brandon
Dotman and Asia
Sandi,
I want to thank you, Sandi, for my two angels ! We lost our adult AB in June. He was a huge part of our family and we were devastated. We decided we wanted to get another AB so we started looking on Puppyfind.com. I had spent almost 6 weeks looking and had found several puppies we liked the looks of, but I didn't care for the people. Either they were just in it for the money ,or had an accidental litter. We had just about given up when I found Sandi. I liked the look of the pups so I called Sandi and we talked for about an hour. I could tell she really loved the dogs and took very good care of the mom and the pups. We got our first pup in August and we love Abendigo (Dotman) so much ! He is a great addition to our family. We were so impressed with Sandi when we stopped to pick him up. She was actually sad when we left.. she bonded with all the pups. We had him for about 4 weeks and I went back down to get his sister, Asia. We are all one big happy family now. The Twins are inseparable. They play, and fight , and love each other just like siblings. They steal toys from each other and have to be together to sleep. We are in Puppy Kindergarten and learning fast. We can sit, lay down and walk very nice on a leash. I Will keep you updated. And thanks again Sandi, you're our angel.
Traci
Teddy's new home
UPDATE He is 109lbs, and he just turned 12 months on Sept. 22. He is so big and beautiful. I never had a dog that talks until now. He can sit and for a half hour or so, depending on what he has to say, and just make all these funny noises and look at you. We get laughing so hard sometimes at him. Yesterday he wanted on my lap before this photo and I told him to go lay down. He laid on the floor and it sounded like he just kept going hmmmmm hmmmmm -- then he started making high-pitched growling noises (he sounds like his is under water). Eric and I were laughing so hard, then gets back up and comes back to me and tries to get on my lap, which is when we took that photo. He is so funny. I told Eric, I think he was a person in his previous life. You'll love this, too. We have a 7 lb cat and they sleep together a lot! They play every day together. Have a great day!!
Sandi, Brutus is perfect and I must tell you this.
I had put out inquiries to about 5 people that I had liked the way their pups looked.I then wait for responses (some people didn't even respond at all) and I gauge how the puppy might be by the answers I get.You had the sweetest, most loving answers.I could tell through your emails that you loved your pups, which meant to me, you would give those vibes to your family members and those pups would carry good temperament characteristics.It might not be that way for each dog, but in a whole, I believe this is true.
When I talked with you on the phone, I found you to be so delightful and could hear the love in your voice for your family - and at that point I had no doubts the puppy was going to be great.I just didn't know the extent of it.You and Elka did such a wonderful job bring up Brutus.The moment I saw him in person, there was an instant connection.He felt like he has been part of our family all along.
Thank you so much for giving my family the opportunity to bring home such a special pup.As he gets a little older I will send you updates.I think Brutus has his mommy's face right now.Eric and I both think she is very pretty.The picture you have of her on your adults page where she is sitting down and looking at the camera is the best (I think).How old is Elka?
The patch marks on Brutus are so pretty.I have never seen a brindle like that.It's more like gold, black and grey.We watched him running in his sleep- LOL. At one point, he fell asleep with his legs on mine and wrapped around my body with his and had is belly facing up.Within seconds, he started snoring.It was so cute.
Chopper and Brutus get along great!!!Instant connection for those two as well.Brutus is already doing the "pulling" that his breed loves.He and Chop played tug of war last night and he also grabbed a blanket and tugged it all over.I'm going to get him into a class so he can do that.Now that ABs are becoming popular, there are more places having the pulling and agility competitions.I want him to feel satisfied, like he has a job (which was really easy to pick it out, since he basically told me what he would like to do-LOL).
Once again thank you so much.We will never forget you and your kindness.Keep in touch a few times a year and have a wonderful holiday season and Blessed New Year!Our family sends our best wishes to yours.
Sandra
Teddy's new home
Hi Sandi, I just wanted to write a quick note to thank you for "Teddy" who arrived this morning at 1am. He is so adorable and already feels like one of the family. He is attentive when I talk to him, goes to the bathroom outside (so far so good!), loves my cat, and is soooo sweet! I have yet to hear him bark! He was so excited this morning when all 5 of my kids ran into my room to meet him and spent the early part of the morning playing with them before school. They all wanted to play hookie! I brought him to my office with me and he is sleeping soundly in his bed at my feet. What an amazing puppy he is! We got him to fill the void that was left behind when our dog "Mojo" died suddenly a few weeks ago. His presence is a comfort to us all. My battles don't seem as hard to fight anymore with my new best friend at my side.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Molly aka 'Tina'
We just have the best feeling over this whole experience with you and your dogs. We ended up changing her name to Molly, that was Chenell?s first dogs name and it meant a lot to her so we went with that. So far she is totally potty trained and is just the best dog. Emmy and Lily, the Boston's,are so happy with her and I must say you socialize these dogs so good and they are so sweet to everyone, you took so much time to show us everything and to explain any questions we had. By the way, Molly found out by listening to her commands like sit, lay, down, come she gets a treat every time she does those and sometimes she gets so excited she will just stand in front of you doing them all to have a treat. This dog is such a blessing to us it makes me emotional.Thank you so much, Sandi .You have no idea how much you mean to us.

Banjo aka 'Eyedot'
Sandi, this puppy is amazing!
After I talked to you, I put her on her mat (a fiber filled mat, with an outer material as soft as rabbit fur), and she and I slept on the floor for 3 hours.Tom LOVES her.He thinks she looks like a "Banjo".I like that coz it's not too girly. About 6:00 last night, Chelsea (corgi) decided to be friends with Banjo.They ran and played, Banjo came to the door, and went right to her mat.AMAZING!She has a mat next to our bed, and she stayed right there until 3:00 am, when she squeaked to go outside.
Thank you so much!!!!for everything you've done, and especially for breeding such GREAT dogs.
Sincerely,
Joanne
Maya aka 'One Spot'
Thank you so much Sandi !!!!
We are so Happy with Maya (one spot) .She arrived at approximately 11 pm our time last night.She was full of energy when they brought her out of the van to us.We played with her until 12:30am.Her first night was very very good. we have decided to Crate train her. She did Great !She made it the entire night without an accident in the cage. It helped her alot that Laurie slept on the floor next to her Crate to keep her calm.Today we took her to see our family.she was great with my nieces and nephews. so far she has been great alerting us when she has to go potty .She is so much better then we ever could have imagined.
Thank you so very much,
Jack and Laurie

I LOVE MY PUPPY! I just received my puppy a week ago from Sandi. We have 3 small children, and 2 other dogs. The new American Bulldog fits in just PERFECTLY!!! First off he is the cutest puppy I have ever seen and has a personality to MATCH! We found Sandi to be a wealth of information and a responcible breeder. Our Puppy was taken to the Vet by myself last week.....He was 100% healthy! Sandi had well documented his vaccine history, allowing his record to be created with ease by my Vet. I was nervous with him going on the plane, BUT Sandi kept me well-informed about the policies and procedeures. Everything went off without a hitch! I went to the Airport, picked up the puppy and was out of there with my 3 children in tow ,in 15 minutes. He had food and water, and arrived in excellent condition! This was such a wonderful expirence! The first time I took him out of the crate and held him close to my chest I literally cried! I joke with my friends and family and say "I feel like I gave birth to him myself!" Thank you Sandi for Completing our FAMILY!!! With the Upmost Sincerety, Julie,Frankie, Cullen, Kenzie, Kallista, Sir Bronson, Lady Ivana and LIEUTENANT LINCOLN!

My husband and I bought a puppy from you on November 25, 2006.I just wanted to update you on her.We have named her Katie and she is doing wonderful!She gets along with our other American Bulldog, Tito, very well.They love to run in the yard and play and of course snuggle up when it is naptime.
Thank you for a wonderful puppy!

Good morning Sandi. Our drive home went really well. He slept almost the whole way waking up occasionally to play a little. Sat on my wife's lap the whole way. He's spoiled already. We had no accidents in the car and he is doing really well with the crate training. We have had only one accident in the house. He barks when he needs to go already. We are very pleased with his progress and our kids just love him. They wear each other out, and have a blast all day. Thought you might want to see some pics.
