We are always grateful for the emails with comments and updates that we receive from our new Puppy Parents. So, we have created this page so that we can share with you our "gloating pride" in our wonderful puppies for becoming such outstanding members of the new families they have joined. We hope that you get as much enjoyment from these little snip-ets and photos as we have.

Dear Elaine,
   I just wanted to write and tell you how Shiloh is doing. He went for his 9 week shots and check about two weeks ago.  The vet said  he was in perfect health.  He also said that he was a perfect representive of his breed and was truly a beautiful puppy.  Everyone we meet comments on how beautiful is markings are.  Not only is he beautiful he has the sweetest personality.  He is a little snuggle bug!! He love to snuggle and sleep.  He also loves to play with our cat.  The two of them together is hilerious. Thank you so much for such a wonderful dog.  I don't know how we made it without him.  He is such a part of the family.  Oh, and he loves the ballfield.  The kids have a fit over him and if he isn't there to cheer them on they want to know why.  He is also, doing great with training.  He is a smart little fellow.  Again, thank you for such a wonderful dog.  He has helped to heal us and ease the pain of losing our beloved boxer and he has brought life back to this house.  Our cat is happy for the first time since we lost our dog in October. They were so close and now he has a playmate again.  We were worried but they get along great.  They love to wrestle and play together.  It is so cute!! :) I can't thank you enough.  Here is a recent pic of Shiloh.
  Sincerley,
      Zane, Christy, Blake, and Shiloh

Hey Elaine!  We just wanted to update you on Shiloh.  He is doing GREAT!! He has to be the most precious dog!!!  We are so blessed to have him in our family.  Everyone we run into with him has a fit over how adorable he is. Today we took him to a pet fair in our county.  They had a little pet parade and Shiloh won a little award for being so adorable!!!  He is three months old today and is precious!!  Thank you so much for such a wonderful puppy!!!  I will attach some photos.  One is from the ride home when we picked him up from you.  I have continued to take a weekly photo to document how much he as grown.  Again, THANK YOU!! :)
                Zane, Christy, Blake, Shiloh and Patches
P.S.  Shiloh and the cat (Patches) are so funny together!! They are becoming fast friends.

Dear Elaine,

My name is Chelsey Mishra and you sold my husband, Mark, and I a beagle in mid January who was Shelby's female #1 and we named Penny! I wanted to write to you and give you an update on how Penny is doinng. She is one of the best dogs I have ever had and is my first beagle, but I am now obsessed with beagles haha. We are so happy we picked her and love that she is a red and white beagle which is so unique. Everyone who sees her comes up to pet her and thinks she is the cuttest beagle they have ever seen. In fact, some of our neighbors who we really didn't talk to much are now all the time talking to us and Penny, and everyone comments on how happy she looks. Every time we go to the vet, our vet and all the workers love to see Penny and say how she is just the cuttest beagle they have ever seen.

I take Penny on 2.5 mile walks five days a week, which she LOVES. I guess she is a bit spoiled, she has lots of toys and bones to keep her occupied. She is a very smart dog, she is now almost 6 months old, and she already knows how to sit, stay, come and other words like "bedtime" and "no". She does have a true beagle personality though and is still a little stuborn.

We really love Penny and she is sooo sweet and beautiful! She has become a real part of our family and we thank you! We have attached some pictures for you to see. Thanks again for such a wonderful family friend!

Sincerely,
Chelsey Mishra

Hello Gary & Elaine,

Chloe is doing great. She is 11 weeks old now. She is the sweetest and most beautiful puppy! All of our neighbors come by to see her when we're outside and they can't believe how cute she is. She loves everyone and is so friendly and playful. She has a boyfriend across the street. He is a golden/lab mix named Chilly who is 3 days younger than her. Chloe is now 6 pounds and Chilly is 20 pounds already. It's  funny to see them play together because he looks like he could swallow her whole! Luckily he is a very sweet boy too. She is also soooo smart. She can already sit, stay for a little bit, look in your eyes when you ask her and do down. (For a treat of course) We ask her to sit before she goes in and out and she sits and looks in your eyes before she gets her food. She is doing well with potty training and has not had many accidents and is doing better with crate training. We have attached a couple pictures of her. The one of her sleeping in the blanket was taken the night we got her and the other one was taken tonight. We hope you enjoy them and again, we hope all is well. God bless you all and thank you for such a special puppy. We'll keep in touch.

Good Afternoon,

I just wanted to give you an update on Chase.  Chase is doing wonderful and our Toddler is adjusting to him.  Chase will cozy up on anything soft to go to sleep, so he has claimed a pillow, fleece blanket and of course the couch.  He goes for his 9 wk check on the 12th so I'm anxious to see how much he weighs.

Sorry this update took so long, things have been pretty busy in our house since we picked him up.  I will keep the updates coming periodically.

Here is a picture of the kids with Chase.

Sincerely,

Hi Elaine,

.....Lincoln is a great dog, we couldn't imagine our
lives without him, of course every now and then we let him go to Puppy Playland to run around with the other dogs which he loves!! He loves to cuddle on the couch with his mom and of course watch football with dad.  I
have attached some recent picts we have of him.  He's just the most handsome dog ever!

Thanks again and we'll keep in touch,

A Short Dog Story
by Patrick Finneran
March 29, 2010
 
Caulderwoods Miss Lily Anne has come to live with us
 
Come the end of March, she will have been with us for a year. How she came to live with us is quite a story. Oh, before I forget, I ought mention that Lily is a dog. A Beagle to be specific.
 
Back in '07 at age 72, I was diagnosed with Non-hodkins Lymphoma of the stomach, and began a long, arduous, series of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. When it began I weighed in at close to 200 pounds, and stood five-foot ten. When I was finally declared, "cured" I'd lost a good 100 pounds and an inch or so in height.  Much of this time I was in hospital confined to bed. When I couldn't take in enough nourishment to counter the weight loss, my body began to consume itself. Consequently my muscles and body atrophied to something akin to a ten year old boy's physique. At 200 pounds I wanted to loose about 20 or so pounds, but this was ridiculous! What has all this got to do with a dog? I'm getting there.
 
Ever since I can remember my family have had dogs- Cocker Spaniels, English and Irish Setters, German Shepards. I can even remember each one's name. So dogs were a big part of my life.
 
When I was finally released from hospital, during one of my many follow-up visits with my Oncologist, Dr. Mary Lou Mayer, she urged me to get out and walk to rebuild my body. I mentioned to her that I was thinking about getting a dog. To my surprise far from discouraging the notion,she urged me to do so. Then began a short discussion about what I should get. I allowed I was seriously considering a Bearded Collie. She regarded me for a moment and then urged me to consider a Beagle. The thought had never entered my mind.
 
Part of a novelist's life is spent in research, so I launched into a thorough study of the two breeds. Although I was predisposed
to the Bearded Collie, I soon learned from my research that our two physical conditions and opposite temperaments would not be good for
either of us. So, I began a search for a reputable Beagle breeder in the Indianapolis area. Alas there are none. The closest seemed to be in the northern third of the state or in Kentucky and Tennessee. This led to an Internet search for a kennel and a dog for sale. After
several days of searching I saw a photograph of Caulderwood's Miss Lily on an Internet site offering AKC Beagles for sale. "Miss" Lily had
just turned four, and had been bread twice. She looked to be just mature enough to be more docile and ready to "settle down"with a family.
 
Following a fair amount of email correspondence, I decided to purchase Miss Lily. The Kennel owners, Gary and Elaine Nichols, would not ship her so it was decided that I would drive down to Greeneville, Tennessee to complete the deal and return home with Lily. It was a good seven-hour trip each way.
 
The Caulderwood kennel is located out in the rolling hillsides of Tennessee, and after much searching, I managed to find the place. Turns out it was a very "small" operation- few dogs, each had open space to play and run to their heart's content. Obviously not a puppy farm operation! Lily proved to be a delight from the moment we met. With a few papers signed, and the asking price handed over, Lily and I were soon on the way back to Indianapolis. Needless to say we took advantage of each rest area, and I provided a bowl of water with each stop. She proved a good traveling companion, curled-up on the passenger seat next to me not much interested on looking out the window- just content to be patted and talked to as we made the long journey. By the time we got home we were fast friends, and it was obvious Lily considered me her champion and protector.
 
Lily has proven to be a perfect member of the family. She has taken to each of our adult children and their children. She is a loving, trusting companion, loves to be taken for walks, and when the evening comes, she insists of sharing my chair with me while I watch TV or read- if my evening is too busy she will go snuggle up next to my wife in her chair. Lily has another advantage, she's the perfect size, sort of a  "medium size" and has proven to be the most intelligent dog I have ever owned. She quickly picked up on our verbal commands and hand signals. To top it all off, her face and eyes can be read like the headlines in a newspaper. To say it is an honest, expressive, open face is not to do her justice.
 
I began this story by citing the fact that I was not new to dog ownership, having owned several "popular" breeds prior to our Miss Lily. So, let me end this short story with this quote from Diane Morgan's book on The Beagle: Beagles are excellent dogs in every way. If you want a dog with the elegance of and Irish Setter, the brains of a Border Collie, the trainability of a Golden Retriever, and the feisty temperament of a terrier, go ahead and get one of those dogs. But of you want a charming, lively, happy-go-lucky companion to share your life, make you smile and nourish your spirit, then a Beagle is really the only sensible choice. Beagles are blessed with the best temperaments in the canine world, the kindest hearts, and the friendliest faces. Who could ask for more?"
 
Miss Lily is the good looking one on the right.

Elaine,


I got my "Nanna" from you in October of 2004. She is the daughter of Barney Clay and Lady Annabelle.  She is a totally spoiled rotten child whom I love.  She is almost 6 years old; but she still keeps me on my toes. Her favorite pastime is to "steal" something of mine for me to chase her -- somehow I always thought it was supposed to be the other way around....but anyway, Her puppy picture is on the last page of your puppies of the past and says relocated to Alabama.  I registered her as Sweet Pollyanna Sassafrass (She does have a sassy attitude.) But nieces and nephews shortened her name to just Nanna which fits her.  Thanks so much for the joy she brings me!


Karyl Spillman

Thought you might like to see some pictures of Marley (puppy of Lady Camille and Little Ace) on her one year old birthday.  She has become quite a special little dog.  She is a great addition to our family.  Very smart and spunky!


Many thanks-The Hirschman Family

Elaine,
I purchased a beagle from you back in 2008. He was born to Miss Mattie and Rebel on 02/11/2008. His name is Milo and he is my baby!!!! He has brought so much joy into our family and I absolutely LOVE him. Thank you!! Here are a few pictures of him.

Cassie Werner

We got Fletcher from you three years ago (it will be four years in August).  We cannot thank you enough.  He is a JOY of a dog and gets compliments everywhere he goes.  Here are some pictures of him from our summer in Canada. He has grown up to be a beautiful dog.  Thanks again =)."   Lisa

Hi!
We got Max and Mojo from you almost a year ago and they are very sweet and
playful. You can't seperate them.
Here are some recent pictures of them.

Here is a picture of our Sadie and the snow we just had in Franklin, TN this weekend. It is beautiful! Sadie loves it!

Mary Ann and Joe Claxton

Dear Elaine,
Daisy is two years old now and we know she is still the best dog in the world!  She is so loving and sweet and is a great companion for my two sons.  She loves going on walks and sleeping with us!  Here are a couple of current pictures.

Hi Elaine,

            I thought you might enjoy seeing a picture of Luke at 9
months.  He's the most wonderful beagle in the world !

Roland Juarez

Hi,Elaine-
 
Finally I am sending pictures of Sadie. She is growing up to be such a beautiful Beagle! Her first year has been great! She was not hard to train at all. We took her to obedience classes in the Spring and she did fine. Her only problem is being over enthusiastic greeting our visitors, but she is getting better. The Grandchildren love her and she has been such a joy to us.
 
Mary Ann

Elaine,

Hello! Just wanted to give you an update.....Jax just turned 3 on July 26 (in San Francisco). He has grown into the most amazing, lovable, smart, adorable and beautiful dog (with a lot of puppy left in him). He has made so many friends.....he is very well socialized, being that we live in a densely populated City he has no choice. I think so many beagles
get a bad wrap due to their barking/howling, so I just want you to know that Jax is wonderful in that respect. He only uses his voice when needed, provoked, or like a child, when he is tired. He is amazing with kids, other dogs, all kinds of people, fire trucks, skateboards, bicycles, shopping carts, cats, squirrels and even gerbles.....you name it. He makes friends with everyone and everything - has grown into quite the perfect companion!!! He is truly the dog of my life!!! He
is so amazing and he has such a connection to both of us. He listens, comes when is called (even in the park), is wonderful off-leash - which is the most amazing part. We can actually walk Jax off-leash through the City - he doesn't chase after anything and listens/trusts us extremely well! And, he is the best trail dog ever, he goes almost everywhere with us! He loves to explore and follows me along trails, crossing rivers, hopping boulders and swimming at the lake. Of course
his nose still gets him into trouble every once in awhile ;) He is fullof love every minute of the day! We couldn't be happier that he has come into our lives - you guys are excellent breeders. He is a one-of-a-kind! Thank you!

cheers,
-kerrie & laurel (SF, CA)

Just wanted to forward to you some pics of one of your pups. This was the female I got from a family that realized she was too focused on hunting to be a house dog (well, she is a house dog still but runs rabbits every day and roams the farm). I met up with the family I got her from at a field trial. Here are some of the the family's pics as sent to me. Thank you again for a wonderful dog!

Hello Elaine:

 

We welcomed Charlie (son of Miss Betsy and the General) into our home last Easter, and we just celebrated his first birthday this week.  He is a beautiful dog who is playful and loveable!  Our family adores him, and he loves the attention he gets from the neighbors when we are out with him.  Thank you for all you did to bring this little guy into our lives!

Elaine:  we apologize for not writing sooner with puppy updates, and I wanted to send a recent photo or two of our fella.
 
Copper (Dixie's Copper Penny to the AKC) is a doll. He will be a smaller version of the breed, which is fine by us.  Copper loves to sleep, anywhere, but preferably near us on the couch or by himself in a cushy chair.  He is happy, healthy, and a clown. He was a complete joy at Christmas, sleeping in our daughter's lap while she recovered from foot surgery, and has won the hearts of all who have met him.  He gets nearly daily walks around our neighborhood lake, about 1.4 miles, always on a leash, and is especially well-behaved when encountering other, loose dogs.  Thank you for raising him to be our little boy; we love him very much,

Hi Elaine,

Just wanted you to know that Tucker is doing great and hopefully we will get a playmate in the near future. Merry Christmas.

Elaine,
 
I just wanted to wish you and everyone at Caulderwood a Merry Christmas and happy New Year! Penny is doing great. She is 5 months old now and even better than I would have ever imagined! She continues to amaze me with how smart she is. She loves to go on walks and play with the other dogs in the neighborhood. I cannot thank you enough for bringing her into my life; she is absolutely the best pet anyone could ever ask for! I've attached some recent pictures of her so you can see what she looks like now. Thanks again and happy holidays from South Carolina!

Dear Elaine,
 
We wanted to update you on our adorable Snoop (Son of the Rebel and Miss Rosie).  He is now one year old and has made a wonderful addition to our family.  Snoop loves to go on play dates and run with his, much bigger, Lab friends. Snoop is such a joy and we all love him very much!!!  Thanks again for a wonderful adoption experience!!

Paisley Williams

Elaine,
 
Paisley is doing very well. She is a sweet, lovable dog and we all adore her. She is spoiled with expensive chew treats, her own screen porch and private fenced backyard, and one good walk a day, weather permitting, and an occasional trip to my dad's twenty acres where she plays with my dad's shelty.  House training only took a couple of weeks. Can't complain there!
 
Here's a recent picture.
 
Take care,

MILLIE

Hey Elaine,

This is Don and Connie from Chattanooga. We  thought you'd love to see some pics of Millie, actually, "Mildred Bentley Caulderwoods", named after her father and her breeding kennel.  She is absolutely what we were hoping for, isn't she beautiful!

(Millie is a very beautiful daughter of our Mr. Bentley & Miss Daisy May)

Paisley Rogers - 10 months old

Elaine,
 
Paisley is doing great, see attached photo. She is very smart! My son trained her to do tricks in minutes.
 
Paisley's parents are Miss Betsy and The General. She is a real treat - her grown human siblings are jealous of the attention she gets. :-)
 
Ron & Amy

Gary & Elaine:
 
After 3 months of living with our boys, we could not be happier or more proud.  Jon and Steve are friends with every dog they meet and happily allow humans to pet them.  They have been to the Biltmore Estate where Steve swam in the French Broad River; they stood their ground against a black bear about 15 feet away and turned it back into the woods; and Jon is lookout for a hedgehog who lives in our yard.  Most of all, they are so loveable and funny, gentle and handsome.   Needless to say, they are smart and know that they are special.  You can close your kennels now because we have the best dogs you've ever bred!

Hello!


We wanted to update you on the puppies.  First of all they have been renamed to "Logan" & "Sammi" by the kids.  They are fitting in and adjusting just fine.  It's like they've always been here!  They are definitely getting a whole lot of love and doing a lot of exploring.They are both eating and drinking good. 


We want to thank you for our new members of our family!  They are adorable puppies with great personalities.  Plus, they are hilarious to watch roll around together!  We'll take good care of them and love them a lot!  We'll send updates as they grow!


Sincerely,
The Wrights

PADME' @ home in Washington
1 year old
 
(Padme' is a beautiful daughter of our Little Ace and Lady Kate)

Hi Elaine,
 
So about our little Padme'.  Well she is not so little any more.  She is
about 20 lbs and about 11 inches.  Everyone in our complex loves her.  She is such the lover.  We take her to the park every weekend.  Steve and I found this great off the leash park.  The whole thing is fenced in and it leads to a beach.  It is so much fun Padme' loves it. 
 
She is starting to swim a little better.  We bought her a life jacket. 
She just is loving life.  We are going to put her in a pet photo contest at Steve's work.  But we can't find just one picture that we like the most because she is just so cute. 
 
So here are a few pics of Padme' talk to you soon.

BARNEY @ 6 months

Hi Elaine,
 
I thought you might like to see Barney at 6 months! I take him to puppy play day on Saturday mornings since we don't have any dogs in our neighborhood that he can socialize with and or play with. Puppy play day is his favorite day of the week! He knows it too. He knows where we are going when we turn onto a certain road.
 
He is so wonderful to have in our lives.
 
I hope you are all well and are having a good summer.
 
Bye for now,
 
Jane Anderson (Jack and Barney)

Elaine,

Just thought I'd send some recent pictures of our Harley girl. She's almost 3 years old now and she's doing great! Our one year old son, Jude, and her are best of friends and play together everyday! Harley is so patient and gentle with him and he absolutely loves her! His first word was not "mamma" or "dadda" BUT... "doggie"! Go figure! (o;

Hope all is well with you, your family and all the pups!

BARNEY

Hi there at Caulderwood kennels,
 
Barney is now one day away from being 17 weeks old! We can't believe how quickly he has grown. Barney is the light of our life. He is so much fun and he is also SO smart.
 
We take him to a puppy play day on Saturdays so he can have some romp time and socialize with other pups his own age (not necessarily his size, some are way bigger, some are smaller). He loves it but he really LOVES people.
 
We walk him at least twice a day, he sleeps with us on the bed!! He has all kinds of toys and he goes everywhere with us. Not very spoiled!!!
 
We are so happy with him, he is all that we wished for and more! Thank you so much for breeding such wonderful beagles, ours in particular.
 
Hope things are going well for you this spring, keep in touch.
 
Jack and Jane Anderson

BARNEY @ 17 Weeks

Hi Elaine & Gary,


I just wanted to let you know how much we love our Beagle. He was a son of Hannah and Luke, his name then was Herbie. Since we have had him we call him Rowdy! He is so much fun, he goes everywhere with us. He is the perfect addition to the family. He loves Florida, and his favorite thing to do is dig at the beach. :-)


Thanks again, The Lindsey's

Elaine,
Happy New Year to Caulderwood Kennels!
 
Our Eddie is doing excellent!  We continue to be impressed with
how smart he is.  (No, he really hasn't learned to read, but he
certainly enjoys sniffing the pages. ) 
 
Jay caught this picture last Sunday.  I thought you would enjoy it!
 
Thanks forever for our wonderful Eddie.

MURPHY & TESSIE

MURPHY & TESSIE

Hi Elaine,
 
Its been about four months now since we brought little Tessie home with us, and we just wanted to let you know what a great little beagle she is. She is about 6 months old now and is the daughter of The Rebel and Lady Camille. She is without a doubt the smartest dog I've ever owned, and definitely the cutest. She has really become a part of our family, I dont know how we got along without her now. She has this great mischievous sense of humor that you just cant get mad at. Her favorite thing to do is to go track and chase down squirrels and rabbits outside with her brother Murphy. They are inseparable. Where ever Murphy goes, Tessie is right behind him. Its funny to watch Murphy look around the house for Tessie when Eric takes her to the vet. He is so lost without her now. We are both really grateful that we found you...especially Murphy, because the only thing better than having a beagle is having TWO!
 
ps. I included a couple of pictures for you to add if you want

BABY TESSIE

Just wanted to let you know how Jack is doing!

He's adjusting well to his surroundings and absolutely LOVES his rabbit squeeky toy we gave him the first night we got him home. Since we've had him he's been in a total of 5 different homes and has been just great with his potty training! All this taveling has got him very used to riding in the car...if he has his own seat so he can stretch out and sleep! Jack is definately a laid back, easy going little boy and sleeps whenever he gets a free minute!

Graham and I are definately attached, and he's really attached to us also. During the holidays, Graham had him at his parents' and if he'd leave the house without Jack, Jack would wine and whimper til he got back. I kept him for about 3 days, and he always wanted to be where I was and followed me everywhere! He was so great with my two little cousins (3 and 1 years old). He loves going for walks in the park. Graham's parents' dogs Sandy (yellow Lab) and Tee (Bichon Frise) were very excited to see him, and he gets along really well with both of them. We couldn't have asked for a dog with a more fitting personality to our own. He's loved very very much and gives a lot of love back!

Attached are some pictures. The first is one of him with his "old man" sweater on. The second is our Christmas card picture we took on campus at UT.

Graham and I both would like to thank you for answering all our questions we had the day we came to get him. We absolutely adore Jack and wonder what we ever did without him!

God Bless,
Megan

Elaine,
Our wonderful Eddie is celebrating a second birthday.
It has been two years of unbelieveable joy with this faithful little friend.  Every day still brings a surprise at how smart he is and I am thankful for all the times he makes us laugh which is often.  Yes, he is quite spoiled but  oh, how obedient and kind. He is amazingly sensitive to what we expect of him and will  do ANYTHING to stay in our good graces.  And he is so much fun to photograph.
 
Needless to say, we think he is the best and cutest dog in all the world but I'm sure there are scores of other Caulderwood beagle owners who think the same thing. 
 
Happy Birthday to Eddie and his siblings who were born on Sept. 28, 2005 to Li'l Miss Bridgett and General Patton!
 
Most of all THANK YOU forever for the quality of fine beagles you raise.
 
Sincerely,
Gail and Jay Diederich
 and Edgar Lamar (Eddie)
 
P.S. If owners of Eddie's siblings would like to correspond I would LOVE to hear from them and see pictures of Eddie's brothers and sisters.  Emailg.diederich@verizon.net

MISS STELLA @ 1 YEAR OLD

"WANT ME TO GET THAT?......PLEASE???"

Elaine-

Just wanted to let you know that our little Harley has adjusted quite well to our newest addition to the family, baby Jude. We find her quite often curled up next to him or kissing his face. She is doing great and loving her new home here in Texas, where she has a big fenced in backyard to run around in! She is now 2 years old and still full of energy. She brings such entertainment and joy to the family!
Hope this finds you doing well.

Blessings,

Hello Elaine,
   This is Jack Kraus, I am one of General Patton & Miss Carmen's puppies.  I just wanted to write and tell you that I absolutley love my new home in Kansas!  They have a 3 year old little boy for me to play with, I really like to chase him and pull at his shorts. Mom says we are like 2 peas in a pod, sounds yummy! We go for a walk everynight, so I get to run around and stiff everything in sight. I even found my first turtle the other night, he was really big, when I barked he didn't like it much. I am learning how to play fetch and Mom & Dad tell me I'm going to puppy pre school soon.  I've got a few tricks to show those other puppies.  I must be really handsome because mom is always taking pictures of me, here are a few to share with you.  Mom & Dad also wanted to thank both of you for such a wonderful puppy, I guess they mean ME!!

We wanted to give you an update on Bailey, born to Polly & Li'l Ace on June 30, 2005. He is a wonderful pet and we treat him like our son. He is a joy everyday! These pictures are of his trip to the lake, he loved the boat ride! He is such a wonderful addition to our lives! Thanks so much for breeding these dogs with love.

Banks' Charlie Brown

Elaine,

Hello! I hope all is well. My husband and I visited your kennels and picked out a beagle back in February for my dad's 60th birthday. I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the family's new addition.
 
My dad named him Charlie Brown (we call him Charlie,
Charles when he's in trouble) and his AKC name is Banks' Charlie Brown; it has a nice ring to it.
 
We attached a photo of Charlie outside on my dad's farm in Virginia. He loves all the smells and the numerous chipmunks there are to chase. He's also got quite a toy collection going!

He's the perfect addition to the family and my mom and dad can't find enough good things to say about him; they love telling his"stories."

Thanks so much,
Holli Banks Brown

Hi Elaine!  I just wanted to send you an updated picture of our beautiful Honeysuckle.  It was taken at Pet Fest here in Charleston a couple of weeks ago.  Last weekend, Honeysuckle participated in her very first charity event, a 3K walk to benefit the Low Country Lab Rescue.  As you can see, she is a very busy girl.  The weather is very warm now so she'll be off to the beach soon!  Hope you enjoy the picture!

COOPER-15 WEEKS OLD
Hi Elaine,
 
Just thought I would write and update you on how our new puppy is doing. He is the proud son of your Lady Camille and The Rebel. We named him "Cooper" and he has adapted to his new home really well. He is 15 weeks old now. We just had him to the vet to start him on his heart worm medicine and his 4 month booster and he was such a good boy. All the staff there just loved him, of course. He is so full of energy, and makes everyday a joy for us. He loves to play tug of war with his rope and be chased around the house by his brother Murphy, who is my girlfriends beagle. Every night he curls up on the bed right next to me and is there to wake me up with kisses in the morning. I know alot of people say this, but I really believe that Cooper is the best beagle ever! He is one good looking dog with the personality to match. We can't thank you enough for bringing him into our lives. 
 
Best Wishes,
 
Tony, Gen, Cooper, and Murphy!
 
 

Hi Elaine,
Hope all is well.  Harley (born to Bridget and General Patton 9/28/05) is doing very well.  We recently took a trip to Myrtle Beach and she and her adoptive brother Copper had a blast.  Attached are some photos.
