Hi Frank!,
Just writing to say hi, and forward a few photos of Eja. He is doing just fine. We recently passed 3 years with him, and we are still amazed every day by him. Eja is everything we wanted, and so much more. All our love and devotion is returned 10-fold by him. As you know, words are inadequate to describe the love and joy our Airedale brings into our home. His health has been very good, and he averages around 75 lbs. He has a beautiful shiny coat, with a personality to match. We are living in Thomasville, N.C. now. Eja sure enjoys the cooler winter months here! We let his coat grow longer in the winter. Finally (now that we are out of Florida, and away from the gators), he can go swimming, and he loves it so much. We usually take him once a week to swim at the reservoir here. He has been a wonderful blessing to our family. Thanks to you.
Respectfully,

—Bob and Maria Carlson

Dear Frank–
I just took Teddy and Ellie to get groomed. The woman who groomed him is a terrier specialist who has an additional certification and loves terriers. She said, “You’ve really got something special with Teddy. Whatever you’re doing with him keep doing. He has an excellent disposition and a fabulous coat.” I put in a good word for you and your ‘Dales.
I’m attaching some “after” photos of Teddy and one with Teddy and Ellie so that you can get an idea of how much he’s growing. He’s not even 6 months yet and he’s over 40 pounds. Reagan’s big dog genes are living on in Teddy.
Take care and I’ll keep you updated periodically.

Hi Mr. Freeman,
I hope things are going well with you and Mrs. Jenny. Jon and I wanted to you see how big Maggie is getting, so I’ve attached a few pictures for you to look at. As you can see in one of the pictures, her favorite place to sleep is right in front of the door! She is doing so great and we are enjoying her so much. She knows how to sit and shake already (only for cheez it’s, of course!). She finished getting all of her shots about three weeks ago and weighs twenty pounds. Hopefully, we’ll be able to bring her by sometime on our way home to Tifton so you can see her in person. Enjoy the pictures!

See you soon.

Dear Frank,
We just came across your web site. Not sure if you’d remember but I purchased one of your dogs from Lady and Edward’s litter in April of 1997. We named her Lady Edward’s Maggie and call her Maggie. She’s a wonderful member of the family and after spending several years in AL, we are now in Locust Grove, GA. Maybe one day we can bring her for a visit. Attached is a photo for you to enjoy.
Best wishes.

Frank & Jennie,
Well we have succeeded again. Ozzie is a beautiful dale. He is smaller than our Chauncey boy but has the same great laid back friendly temperament. His ears are now absolutely perfect. You would be proud of him.A great physically appearing dale. We just love him. We are seriously thinking about a pal for him. A boy would be great.Not sure when you will be having pups again but would like to be on the waiting list. Let me know what you think. I will try to take some photo’s of Ozzie this weekend so you can see our prize. Just remember there is no chance of you getting him back!

Hi Frank:
We purchased an airedale from you in January 2002. We were driving to see Plains…saw your sign…and since we had lost ourairedale six months prior, my wife was insistant on stopping. That airedale is Doodles. He is nearly three now. He is the gentlest, kindest dog with a great personality. He is also very big…around 75 pounds. He has been a great addition to our family. We wanted to thank you for the opportunity that your sign presented us. We were also considering getting another one possibly in the spring or fall of 2005 to provide a friend for Doodles.

Thank you again for providing such great animals.
Best Regards,

— Fred and Harriett Maute

Frank,
Well, “pup” finally grew into a name…Luciano’s Little Gangster…and we call her Luci (said like Lucy). She is wonderful! She turns 10 weeks old this Monday and weighs in at about 15.5 pounds. At long last she outweighs her cat brothers.

She has happily learned several tricks- sit, come, and shake. “Sit” is pretty much consistent. “Come” can be offset by distractions fairly easily but she’s getting better. “Shake” took a little longer because she is a southpaw. Once we realized she was a lefty, she took right to it. Since we have pond fish, we just keep fish food pellets in our pockets. She looks forward to her treats and loves to perform! The fish like the extra nibbles, too. The cats think it is terrific and spend a great deal of time at night trying to access our pockets. Even our land crab benefits from time to time. Everyone is happy!

Luci is fast becoming a soccer player, too. My daughter, Ann, is an avid player and she and Luci practice in the yard daily. We have gone through two balls so far due to tooth holes, but Luci is pretty aggression about ball possession so it makes it fun. She went on her first harness outing to the soccer fields last week. She was so funny. We walked the track but at each soccer field, Luci would squat down (she doesn’t sit on the ground) and her tail would wildly wiggle, and she’d intently watch the game for several minutes, following the ball with her head. Then she’d move on to the next field and repeat the process. She did this about 6 times. Several people saw this process and they got a really good laugh. It was precious.

We are wondering how she’s going to do on the Easter egg search tomorrow. Should be interesting!
Happy Easter.
