Susan Cross writes: DASH Our "BIG BABY". He is probably the best dog we have ever had.  His personality and disposition are wonderful.  He is well over 130 pounds now.  You are more than welcome to use us as a reference--you were and have been wonderful to me and our family.  It's nice that we stay in touch with each other.  Susan Cross, Bristow, VA

The Griffin Family writes:  Basil is almost a year now!  We love her!  She is perfect for us.  We have 80 acres of woods behind our house and last week there were about 20 deer outside.  Well the boys accidently let her out and she was off.  We trained her to come home if she hears the dinner bell.  So I rang it thinking I would never see her again.  After 15 minutes I gave up hope and came in.  As soon as my feet touched the porch she was back.  I'm amazed.  She followed the bell home.  The Pyrenees breed is awesome.  We'll be getting another soon.  Thanks Again to the Ziglar's.  The Griffin's Tidewater Area,  Virginia

Dave and Kelly Fonteyne write:  Moglee  You could not have raised better dogs, as it shows with Moglee through and through.  He has a wonderful personality,  he is very gentle (gentle gaint surely fits him), he is extremely healthy-no health issues at all, he gets along with otherr animals (our dog Balu), he is very energetic - luvs to play ( does not want to come in from the snow).  Dave & Kelly Fonteyne, Concord, New Hampshire

Laura Steere writes:  Zenna the wonder dog  You may give my name, phone & email to anyone that would like to know more about your Great Pyrs!!  Zenna is doing great!  She gets along with all of the animals on our farm.  Zenna is house trained, crate trained, and sits and comes on command, walks on a leash and travels well in the car.  She is well on the way to being the perfect companion animal.  She is very smart, easy to train and very cheerful.  She is a source of entertainment to us daily.  We laughed when she wanted to come into the shower, so I opened the door and in she walked!!  So she got an unexpected bath.  She loves to go down to the pond and splash around.  She is in the "oral " stage of puppyhood now, so all socks and shoes are targets.  Recently, we had a forester come out to look at our woods, he ws so mpressed by Zenna that he had us write your name and number down.  I am sure that you will be getting a call from him!  Zenna's instinct around the livestock is very interesting.  She never chases or tries to romp the the alpacas and llamas.  Most of the time she comes in and walks around, sniffs at them a bit, then lays down and watches them.  Anyways, as you can tell, we adore Zenna and she is blossoming into a fantastic dog.  We are so grateful that we found you and Otis.  Rick and Laura Steere,  Infinitiy Alpacas, Llamas, & Percherons., Ridgeway, VA

 Effie Sarantis writes:  Rocky is doing great!!  He is a whopping 60 pounds and tons of fun.  The children just love him and he has been such a delightful addition to our family.  He is definitely a show stopper!  We took him to our son's soccer game on Saturday and everyone was coming up to him and petting him and asking what kind of dog he is!  Sammy and Maria were so proud to claim him as "their big puppy".    The Sarantis Family  Washington DC area

 Darren, Doreen, Jake & Josh Phillips writes:  We bought Boomer in August 2007 for our son Josh for his Birthday.  The two of them are inseparable and Boomer sleeps by his side no matter where they are in the house.  Boomer is a very loving and docile dog and ofthen surprises us with his talents; lately it is opening the screen door and the back door to the yard.  Our Veterinarian says he is a perfect dog and he can't believe how much we paid for him.  I think Boomer is a joy to have in this house!  We would recommend any dog lover to buy a puppy from you.  The Phillips Family, West Berlin, New Jersey

Laura Steere Writes: September 2008.  We had our vet xray Zenna's Hips, and check her heart.  He said she is in great shape.

Bruce and Desiree Finagin Writes:  February 2009:  Just an update on Winston. We absolutely love our newest addition and are extremely pleased with our selection in a breeder.  Your attention to every detail during "adoption" process was beyond anything we could imagine.  The weekly updates from birth to pickup were incredible.  If we ever need another we know who to call.  Winston has adjusted very well to his new home.  He shares his home with another Great Pyrenees a year older than he is and a 12+ year old retriever, 4 cats and 2 guinea pigs [his favorites].  Everyone gets along wonderfully.  Every day brings a new smile.  Thanks Again. The Finagin Family, Calloway, MD


Hello!

I must apologize for writing so long after I had adopted a Great Pyrenees Puppy from your family.  I shouldn't have waited so long to write and tell you of the wonderful experience I have had raising one of your pups.  I hope you remember me (though I wouldnt be surprised if you had forgotten me since you receive requests for purchases for your animals many times over).  I was a woman who drove from Maryland with my little 6 month old son in February 2008 and got into the pen with Cindy's puppies and let one of them pick me (who by chance was Molly but she was lucky enough to have had another family choose her).  The next pup to choose me was an all white female (even though Cindy has all white litters) with a black collar.  

After she chose me, we all went home and got acquainted.  I have attached photos of when she was younger with my son in most of them.  She and he are the best of friends.  Although she is younger than him by a few months, she insists that she is the "big sister" and no matter where we go she is always close by his side.  She gets tons of praises for her temperament from strangers.  My best friend also has a son about my son's age and Kiowa (that's the name we chose for her) looks after him just as much as she looks after my own son!  She is as sweet as her momma, Cindy, and just as beautiful.  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect dog for my family.  It's interesting enough to watch the two.  I don't walk her on the leash.  She minds very well and didn't have to take obedience class.  She was quick to learn her commands and easy to housebreak.  I love the fact that I can take her outside and she will come right away when I call for her.  

She is still a puppy and every now and then she acts out like one, but what would you expect from a "little kid"?  She goes on hikes with me and doesn't stray far.  I have found that she LOVES the water... the creek, the pond, the lake... whichever she chooses to fit her fancy.

My husband adores her and reminds me often of what a good pick she was.  I remind him that she picked me, and I didn't pick her.  She is so loyal...one of the family.  She gets along great with our cat, Dimitri.  They play around the house every now and then...chasing one another around...playing tag.

Kiowa's whole name is:  Kiowa Shimotsuki.  Her middle name is Japanese for "Frosty Moon" and Kiowa Is the name of an Native American Indian Tribe.  We took her to a Kid's Festival recently and an elderly woman who retired from judging dog contests approached us and inquired if we had entered Kiowa in any dog shows.  We told her no and she noted that Kiowa would have no problem winning because of her beauty and beautiful stature.  I don't doubt this woman one bit, but we didn't purchase Kiowa to show her.  We purchased her because we wanted her as part as the family...and she definitely is!

I want to tell you thank you in so many words, but I have a hard time finding the right words to express my gratitude.  Thank you so much for providing such a loving home to have your puppies and allowing us to adopt one.

God Bless,
The Kurtzweils
