CLIFFORD


Barb, We have had a great few weeks. Clifford is by far the easiest puppy we have ever had. He goes potty outside every time we go out. He has slept in his kennel right next to Jandro from the start and has rarely woken up throughout the night. He knows his name, will sit, fetch, and come when called. He is however getting faster and braver so we have to keep a close watch when we are outside. We have a fence going up and it will be completed next week. Jandro is enjoying him greatly. Thank you for all your hard work from the start it has certainly paid off in ease for us. Hope you and your family are well.

TUCKER, TRUE GOLDEN

I just had to post this photo of Tucker, his owner sent it to reflect the true personality of a golden. You can read more about Tucker HERE and HERE.


LETTING GO OF ROSE


I have not placed our older, retired dogs into homes until this year. It is emotional, as these girls have lived here all of their lives. They have hunted with Russ and the boys, swam with us, camped with us, and given birth to numerous beautiful puppies. The thought of them leaving was very difficult, yet, knowing that we have young dogs to take care of, and new breeding dogs coming up, we felt it best for both the older dogs and new owners to have them get a lot of one on one attention. We placed Zena and Lilly at the Emanuel Nursing Home in Litchfield. Both girls are doing so well, and are loved by so many people. They bring a smile to the face of an elderly person every day! Now it is Rose's turn, and we placed her in a loving home this last week. This is a photo of her sleeping next to her new owner. As hard as it is to let them go, I know it is the best for them to love and be loved in these atmospheres. It does seem like just yesterday Rose was toddling around as a puppy, and now she is 9 years old. She has lived a wonderful life, and hopefully will live many more years to bring the love to her new owners that she brought to us.

Yesterday we went to a professional photographer with my grandson Isaac and 3 of the puppies.


TRAINING

This video shows a typical training session at Rolling Oaks, in which your puppy learns to site, stay, come, and walk confidently at your side. More information about training can found at our website.

RUDY


Hi Barb, This is Rudy. He really is a character! Rudy was the black collar puppy from Banner and Lily's June 2006 litter.

I don't recall this being listed as an attribute of Rolling Oaks Goldens on the website.

sincerely,
Greg
