Hi Donna
Just a real quick note to tell you Harley is just great!!
We are head over heels for him and he's fitting right in
here. He was a perfect gentlemen in the car on the
way home, no crying or anything just kissing and
cuddling. He eats like he's never seen food before and
has been playing with his new friends, he even went
potty outside! What a great start to our new life
together! Thanks again for everything, we appreciate
all the time, love and care you have put into caring for
Harley! Have a great night.

Hi Donna,

Deuce has brought back spirit to both
Michael and I. He is such a joy. Most of
our family has met him, all love him and of
course, all want him. So far he's eating
well, and as you know well, he loves the
snow. He'd rather play in the snow than do
his business. Too cute.

I'll keep in touch.  ~~Debbi

Hi Donna,  
I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures of Morgan at her new
home!   
Thank you so much for everything, we just love her to pieces!   
Here she is  with me
Hi, Donna!
We just wanted to let you know Titan is doing great. He is such a good puppy. We are working on the potty
training, but other than that he is perfect. We can already see what a good dog he is going to be. Hope all
is well with your clan. We'll be in touch.
Kara, Scott, & Titan
Hi Donna
Harley is doing great, we all love him so much. He loves playing with our other dogs, chasing our cat and has gone on a couple of trips to Petsmart. We even
took him on a  overnight trip to EIU for my daughters award ceremony, he was such a good boy.  Of course everyone thinks he's the cutest and he is. He's
doing great with going potty outside and has learned to sit. He has really bonded with me. He won't let me out of his sight for a minute and will follow me
anywhere :)  We have put all our dogs on a partial raw diet and they are all doing well on it. Just wanted to thank you again for our wonderful boy!! I
attached some pictures. We will keep in touch, hope everyone there is well.

Hey Donna, Merry Christmas!!!  Vader has adjusted very well to our home.  He loves to play with the cat but
the cat does not like to play with him,  they are getting use to one another however.  Vader has turned out to
be a very playful dog and has a lot of energy, he really keeps us going!  He is very stubborn and likes to do what
he wants and needs much redirection but we love him.  He is a great addition to our family.  I have not had
time to down load any pictures yet but when I do we will send you some.    Happy Holiday and we will keep in
touch.  Heather and Chris
10 weeks, 17 lbs. Titan is doing great and potty training is finally coming along. He's much better now. Took him about a week to
"get it". Still has his moments, but not nearly as frustrating. I think we got the biggest lover in the bunch! Mr. Cuddles! Hope you
have a wonderful holiday. Take care, Kara

Hi Donna
We wish you and your family a healthy & happy New Year. Hope your Christmas was good. Ours was especially fun with Harley in the house.
He is such a lover boy and we are all crazy for him, especially me. My children gave me a gift certificate for Petsmart puppy obedience
class, so we will be starting soon. Harley is extremely smart. I'm really looking forward to working more with him. We have continued to take
him all sorts of places. we even brought him to Christmas dinner at Grandmas! In spite of all the people,  food and excitement he was
perfect.  Everyone there was  impressed and said they had never seen a better behaved puppy. We agree!  :)  He has even managed to get
our poor Rocky to play a few times. Rocky in turn has been teaching Harley how to behave and really helping with the potty training. Harley
does everything Rocky does, which is a very good thing. We will be going to the Vets office next week so I will update you on his growth
then. Thanks again for our handsome sweet boy!
Cathy & Steve
PS Here's a couple of pictures, he's getting so big!
Donna,
Thank you so much for Fenris.  He is everything we hoped he
would be.  I've attached a picture of the little guy..  he's
growing so fast!
Thanks again,
Tim, Jess, and Fenris
Donna,
Titan is doing great! We went to the vet this week and he
was such a good boy. Not one peep with his shot. All is well
with him vet-wise. He's growing like a weed and gaining
weight all the time. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Happy New Year, The DeGraffs
Hi Donna
Just to let you know I gave your name and number to a man in
Petsmart who asked for it because he loved Harley so much. He was
a huge hit there Saturday :) Harley knows sit down and he's starting
to learn wait. We start obedience class Thursday, I'm looking
forward to doing more with him. He's such a smart sweet boy and
everyone who meets him loves him! Again thanks for everything.
Cathy
PS I sent a picture I call I wanna be like Mike :)
Hi Donna,
I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Tyson so you can see how much he's grown.   
He is such a lover, he gives kisses to everyone.... even the cat ( who doesn't like it very much )
Thank you for everything.  Hope you and your family had a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year.
The Redlin Family
Hi Donna
Just a quick update on Harley. He is now 35 pounds and growing fast! Obedience class is going well. He is so smart and has
a high desire to please! He knows sit, down, down & relax, leave it, wait and stay for short periods.  Everyone in the class
is very impressed with him. He is also a joy  in the car so we bring him everywhere possible. Just thought you would like to
know Harley is everything we hoped for and more! Hope you are all well.
Thanks again
Cathy & Steve
Donna,
I am not sure if you kept up with the Westminster Kennel Dog Show, but I was checking out the Rotts
and saw something very interesting.  The winner for the best in breed was sired by Ch Von Boylan
Antonio Banderas, as was Brando.  You are not kidding when you say our pups have championship blood in
them.  Kara and I wanted to send you some four month pictures of our little champ.

The DeGraffs
Hi Donna
Just another quick update on my baby boy., he is now 18 weeks and 47 pounds!
I forgot how fast they grow. He is still doing great at obedience class, everyone says he is the star!  He is :)  You  have to see this picture of
Harley with his receiving blanket that you sent home with him. Whenever I am on the computer he goes in his crate gets his blanket  brings it in
by me then curls up and goes to sleep. Its so cute. Hope all is well with you.
Cathy
Hi Donna-  
We just wanted to let you know that Morgan is doing so well, and getting so big.  She is 43 pounds now!  I am bringing her to training classes
and she loves it, she is actually the biggest dog in class.
She is so smart and she is already being a pretty good watchdog at the house.  Hope all is well with you, and we will keep you updated on her
progress! I am sending you a few pictures of her, she absolutely loves playing in the snow!
Dan, Tracy and Morgan
Hi Donna this is Doug Lavnick. The boys are big and getting bigger.We all thought that Dargan would
be the aggressor. But it turned out to be Bomani that is the bolder one. Dargan is smarter and
teaches Bo. Here are some pictures.
Hi Donna
Harley wanted you to know he graduated from  puppy obedience class with flying colors! Now we are signing him up for  
canine good citizenship class in April through the German Shepard Club that is close to home. I may also do intermediate
obedience class at the same time. He seems to enjoy it as do I. He is now 54 pounds and growing like a weed.  He is my
constant companion and best friend! I'm just crazy for him! We get compliments both on his looks and temperament
everywhere we go. I have even been asked to breed him with a female we met at Petsmart. I politely declined.  I feel its
better to leave that to those of you who know what they are doing! :) I have however given your name to a few people
recently that have asked where we got him.
Hope all is well with you! Take care.
Cathy, Steve & Harley
Donna -
Just wanted to show you how gorgeous Fenris is at (almost) 6 months. He's 64 pounds (I was shocked--he
doesn't look like he weighs so much!) and 22 inches, and the vet says he's beautifully muscled. He should
be--tug is his favorite game and he begs us to play it all the time, and he loves his walks. He's so wonderful!  
Jess and Tim
Hi Donna
I can't believe how fast time has gone by , Harley is 6 months old and doing great. He is now 71 llbs and very handsome! We take
frequent trips to Petsmart for socialization, treats and nail trims. Everyone there loves him! We are now half way through a advanced beg
obedience class at the Lyons Township Dog Training Club. He is still doing good and we are both enjoying it. He has fit into our home from
day 1 perfectly, I sent a picture of our pack. I see you are very busy, hope everyone is happy and well!
Cathy, Steve, And Harley
Hi, Donna!
We wanted to let you know Titan is doing great. He spent some time with Paula at TOPS and our already great dog became
even more amazing. He listens so well and is still such a huge cuddler.
Hope all is well with your next batch efforts.
Take care,
The DeGraffs
Hi Donna
Hope all is going well with the upcoming litters! Just a quick note to let you know Harley is doing great, we are still in training classes with Lyons township
and he is doing excellent. He is now 82 pounds and growing! Yesterday we took him to Petsmart and he is
constantly amazing people! I had so many compliments on his wonderful temperament and how well trained he is.  He loves everyone and everyone is his
friend. He was even unbelievable with a elderly women in a wheel chair. He was so gentle but loving with her. She couldn't control her hands so he gently
licked her hands and put his head in her lap. When we told her son that he was 7 months old he was shocked and could not  believe how calm and steady
he was. Harley has been a blessing and a comfort for me as well,  Rocky lost his battle with his brain tumor about 2 weeks ago. It is extremely difficult  
but having another truly amazing Rottweiler has helped so much. So I just wanted to thank you again for my new best friend, I just adore him! Hope you
and your family are well.
Cathy, Steve & Harley
Good morning Donna,
Doug and I wanted to send you updated pics of the boys.   They are so awesome, and their personalities are priceless.  Raven became a good surrogate
mommy.  Unfortunately, the boys lost Raven  last Wednesday.  Raven developed a tumor on her right side and after the doctor seeing her, the tumor was
diagnosed as cancer and she had to be put to sleep due to her age and weight.
Dargan has become quite the lap dog, and he simply loves to cuddle.  Bomani on the other hand loves to play rough with Daddy,  but a simple "be nice" gets
him from nibbling to kissing.
Both of them team up pretty good.  I caught Dargan digging under the fence to get out, and Bomani was sitting next to him as a look out.  I laughed so
hard at how smart and cute they are. When I stop laughing and compose  my self to  call them out, they come running with hugs and kisses so that I don't
yell at them.   They remind me too much of my other children, getting in trouble together and ganging up on mom and dad. As you can see by one of the
pictures....they love my brand new king size bed...   Yes Donna, Doug bought a bigger bed so that the boys could sleep with us.   When he sits on his lazy
boy chair Dargan doesn't waste any time and is quickly on his lap. Like a baby.  The poor lazy boy.  
I will send more pics as the summer progresses.
Thank you for choosing us for the boys....we all love them very much.
Liz Lavnick
Hi Donna!  

I just watched your video of the puppies and it brought tears to my eyes!  I can't believe how fast they grow.  
Morgan is doing so well, she is so smart, she just graduated from intermediate class at Pet Smart- she did so
well, and is so good with other dogs, she makes me proud every time I take her somewhere and get compliments
on her looks, and temperament. She is 80 pounds now at 8 1/2 months old.  My 4 year old niece loves to play
with Morgan, and Morgan knows to be gentile with kids.  She is a remarkable dog, and we love her so much! We
just wanted to say hello and hope that all is well with you.  Talk to you soon!
Tracy, Dan and Morgan
Hi, Donna! We hope all is well with you and your
crew. Just wanted to share some 1yr pics with
you. Titan is doing wonderful. He's right under
100lbs. and still the same sweet boy. He was
neutered last week and everything went
beautifully. We still feed raw and Titan lives
for mealtime. Thank you for the card! The
DeGraffs
Dear Donna
Harley wanted me to Thank you for the birthday card! He
had a great day with many special treats. I want to thank
you for Harley he is a true blessing in my life.  He is
currently 102 pounds. Everyone that meets him thinks he is
very handsome. And he is! :)  We are keeping up on our
obedience skills by going to practice at Lyons Dog Training
Club and will be tested soon for the Delta Pet Therapy Cert.
He has also moved up to the next level where we will be doing
lots of off leash work. I have started working at Petco in
Bloomingdale and I am now the Canine Instructor. My 1st
class will start Oct 29. Harley will be attending many of the
classes with me. We bring him with us anywhere that it is
possible and people always comment on his wonderful
temperament and manners. He is constantly surprising people
on what friendly loving personalities rottie's have! I hope all
is well with you and your family. I was very sorry to see you
lost Brando. Harley will continue to make him proud!
Cathy, Steve & Harley
Hi Donna
Just thought I would let you know Harley passed the
Delta Pet Therapy Test last night! Everyone was
impressed with how well he did especially for just
being 1 year old. I am so proud of him! :) Now I
just have to pass the written part and we will be all
set to make visits to nursing homes etc.
Hope you are well.
Take care
Cathy

my dog club was interested because they love Harley and lost one of their
Rotts to cancer last year. She said she emailed you but didn't get a answer, I
also called but didn't get a answer either. Hoping all is well with you and your
dogs. I am sending a picture of Harley on his 2nd B-day! He is doing great and

cake and outings. Take careCathy, Steve & Harley PS I also sent a picture of
