Obedience classes
Hello,
I don't know if you remember me, but I purchased a puppy from you last year.
I was so excited to welcome him to our pack, and couldn't wait for him to
be born in March. I name him Rommel, after The German Field Marshall
of WWII. First of all I want to thank you for truly blessing me with
an outstanding and wonderful dog. There isn't a day that goes by that
I am so glad that he's a part of my life. He is also a
head turner, he is a HANDSOME boy, or as I call him "Little Man." Please
let me know what days work best for you. From my heart I thank you for your
love of this breed and how wonderful your dogs are. Rommel has enriched my
life in everyway.
Thank you! Leah Sullivent, Zion Illinois

its way over to Vince, I would really appreciate it. I
wanted to apologize for not making the last class with Mia
