Hi Peggy - Just a note wish you and your family all the best and hope you had a wonderful
Thanksgiving. Jasper, Chuck and I are doing great! We love visiting your website and looking at
your beautiful dogs. I am attaching some pictures taken of Jasper at 9 months (all my most recent
ones were taken with my 35mm instead of the digital camera!). He's all boy - TONS of energy as
you can tell by the pictures. His temperament continues to be excellent - he loves people especially
kids (I think it's because they never get tired of throwing balls and sticks for him to chase! ha!)
Jasper turned 1 year old on November 8th. I bought him a few toys for his birthday. I thought them
to be indestructible; wrong! His bite is so firm he even destroys kongs! I have to watch him
constantly with his toys and only bring out a few minutes at a time in order to keep them intact for
at least a few weeks!
Anyhow, soooo glad to have Jasper a part of my family! He is a constant source of pure joy for
both of us! Thanks Peggy.
Sincerely, Tami Neely Owner of Jasper (a Sharona/Bosco pup)


Hi Peggy,
Angela and I just wanted to touch base with you. Duke is doing awesome and we are so attached
to him. He really is an awesome dog and has just the temperament we were looking for. I
attached a recent picture of him for you and can send you some more if you would like them.
Duke has completed all of his training classes including advanced obedience and agility course
training. We want to take him through a tracking class next as he has a very high tracking drive.
Duke really learned his commands and hand signals quickly and is as great off leash with
distractions now as he is on lead. After he turned 1, he started getting stubborn while playing with
other dogs at dog parks and places where he wasn't right near us. We got a remote dog training
collar that really did the trick. Now even when running and playing at over 100 yards away, if he
hears a command he obeys it. He is very playful and loves to run.
He weighs 86 lbs now and seems to have stopped growing but still might be filling out a little bit.
Recently while at the beach, he was sniffing around the sand and started digging a hole. 20 minutes
later,
he pulled up a little kids mitten! We were pretty amazed. Duke is a big fan of hiking We got him
a back pack for supplies and have taken him on short to multi-day hikes all over. He really enjoys
it and is a great hiking companion.
He really is a beautiful dog. His coloring and coat are gorgeous and we can't go anywhere without
Duke getting compliments. We always recommend you highly. As you predicted, he has a fairly
short coat and is black and dark brown. Also his temperament is right on. He is very calm around
the house and with friends, but can really run and play hard with us and with other dogs. He is
extremely gentle and shows no aggressive behavior. One of his favorite past times is grooming our
cat! Angels is really pushing for us to get another dog. We would like a female to name Dutchess.
I don't think we are ready for that yet, but if we decide to we will definitely come to you.
Thanks for providing us with such a high quality dog, we can't thank you enough.
John and Angels Myers

Hi Peggy, I just wanted to forward some pictures of Jasper. We entitled these "What I did on my
summer vacation" since some were taken last month at Mt Hood, Jasper helped us put on the
Timberline Marathon on Sept 15, and a couple were taken at Stanley Lake in Idaho in June, note
the Sawtooth Mtns behind him in the water! Anyhow, Jasper is dong great! I've kept him on his
whole food diet. He has only had a small little bout of upset tummy this whole year. He will be 3
years old on November 8 and I've already bought him a couple of presents. He kept trying to stick
his nose in the bag though (they're toys!!!) so I finally had to put them up on a high shelf in the hall
closet! He's such a child!! Ha!
You can always use pictures of my boy on your website! We are VERY proud parents and have
you and your great breeding program to thank for our wonderful boy! Thanks for all your
continued interest in your dogs and puppies - it really makes all the difference in the world!
Tami Neely Jaspers Mom
