Dear Amber,
We can hardly believe that Olivia (aka Cheyenne) has just celebrated her first birthday! When she arrived at the airport on February 12 and sprang out of her crate, we had no idea how fast she'd take over our hearts and lives! We can't imagine a sweeter, more loving and playful little girl than Olivia. She keeps us constantly amused with her outgoing, bigger-than-life personality. She loves everyone, and is comfortable wherever she goes thanks to how you successfully socialized her!

Olivia is now moving on to her first holiday season, and is very curious about all the lights and decorations. She occasionally wants to "help" by un-decorating our tree, but especially enjoys the small parties with extra company to entertain. Life is her daily adventure!

Dear Teapup family,

We wanted to let you know this Thanksgiving how blessed we are to have "June" (Shih Tzu) with us.  We fell in love with her picture on your website and now she has us wrapped around her little paws.  We have renamed her Maisy and she is a wonderful addition to our family.  We brought her home and it is like she has always been here.    It's hard to believe that we have only had her not quite 3 weeks.  We have 4 daughters and they can't wait to play with her when they get home.  She has plenty of kisses for them too.  Our other 2 dogs are adjusting to her and the cat is a favorite friend of Maisy's.    Our family and friends are amazed at how well behaved she is. We have passed around your brochures at work and who knows maybe one of them will make the 21/2 hour trip down to see your puppies too.  We told them that it is a well worth it trip.

I bought my little Lizzie from you in the summer of 2007 and I am still just ecstatic over her.  She’s healthy, she’s happy, and--I can say this without bias even if I am her Momma—she’s a gorgeous little girl.  When I bought her, Deb told me she would be the kind to come running to greet me when I come in the door and that’s exactly what she does.  She looks so sad when I have to leave her; she lies on the back of the couch and looks out the front window until I get home.  I’m not the only one who spoils her; my parents are her grandparents.  The grandparents insisted that Lizzie go to Doggy Day Care while I’m at work so she won’t be lonely.  So she does.  She’s super friendly with everyone there—she sits in the desk chair at the day care entrance and greets everyone who is coming or going.  She is their star pupil in the training program; the trainer uses her to show new clients what the dogs can do with training.  She has even starred in a television commercial for the vet’s office!  The training is a bonus; I just wanted her taken care of while I work but I am proud of her anyway.  She is exactly what I needed and what I wanted.  I had lost a little dog, Caleb, to liver failure just a few months before adopting Miss Lizzie and I was a little afraid to let another pup into my heart but she has been a great comfort--and a lot of fun besides.  Thank you for what you do.  Thank you for being a conscientious breeder.  I can’t thank you enough.  These little ones come into your heart and life and it is hard to let them go, even when they have had a long life, which wasn’t the case for Caleb.  I don’t dwell on the loss of Caleb but I do think about the differences between Caleb and Liz, and how grateful I am that you take such good care of the selection of parents and that you take such good care of the puppies while you have them.  Because so many people love the puppies, what you do affects so many lives.  Liz’s Grandma tells me occasionally “You should write the breeder and let them know how Liz is doing” and I keep telling her that I intend to.  Today, when Mom sent photos from her camera I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share

Dear Staff,

Thank you doesn't express our pleasure with Terrance, a miniature schnauzer my wife & I adopted last January. November 12th was his 1st birthday. I have included some pictures to post with our sincere thanks for our bundle of joy. I would give my enthusiastic endorsement for your enterprise as a high quality breeder of small breed puppies.

My name is Jody Armstrong and I purchased a black schnauzer pup Jan 13. Her name is now Libby but you had named her Destiny. She just turned one year old last week and she is very much a part of our family.
Libby is my third schnauzer in a row and she has turned out to be the most loving, smartest, and most perfect dog I have ever owned. Oh and I forgot she is beautiful too! Her disposition is always the best and she loves people, other animals, and kids!!
Thank you so much for letting me purchase one of your outstanding dogs and I highly recommend you to ANYONE who is looking for a puppy.

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know Patches arrived safely around 5pm on Friday. He was very friendly and didn't seem like the flight bothered him at all. He's been very good at night and only let out a couple of squeaks before settling down. He only gets up once a night to go potty and then goes straight back to sleep. When he wants to go outside he comes up to us and squeaks, he's only had a couple of accidents in the house, I was expecting a lot more to start with.
We changed his name to Scamp at the request of our grandchildren and the name really suits him, he knows it already and comes running when we call him. He is such a loveable little guy and so funny. My husband said we should have called him Mickey as he squeaks like a mouse.
We had him to the vet yesterday and she said he was very healthy; all the nurses fell in love with him. I will keep you up with his progress and send a picture when he gets a bit bigger. 
Thanks for everything!

Amber,

She is just doing beautifully - even getting better at the potty training - but is she ever stubborn. She just lies down in the grass instead of "doing her stuff". I am surprised she wasn't sleeping alone because from the first night she has slept about 9 hours a night. The only things in her "cage" are the blanket and toy you sent home with her. We have named her Emma and I think she is beginning to recognize that we're talking to her.
We are just so happy we took the time and trouble to go to Teapup because she is such a super little girl and your place is just perfect. She is so socialized with other dogs and with us humans. We have had a lot of people over to see her.
I will be sure to let our new vet (who we will meet at 11:15 tomorrow) and the groomer (who she sees at 10 am on Wednesday) knows about Teapup so they can pass on the web site to anyone interested in a new puppy.
We got her flea and tick medication on Saturday. I'm sure she will look different with her new "do". If your web site accepts pictures I'll send you one of the "after" photos. If not, let me know and I will put some snapshots in the mail to you.
