South Branch Golden Retriever Customers

Here are some pictures of our wonderful extended family of customers and their Goldens...

(sent via email March 2010) Hi Karen, I hope all is well at South Branch! It's been about a year since I have emailed you photos and updated you on our beautiful boys. Mori is now a year and a half and Cash is 3 1/2 years old...time flies! It's amazing that they are both from Travis & Ginny's litters yet they are so different! Cash is perfectly content snuggling up next to his mom and dad while Mori has to be on top of us (I really don't think he realizes how big he actually is). We are looking forward to the warmer weather and many fun days at the dog park and the lake. Thanks again South Branch ~ you guys truly are the best! Christina

Morrison & Cash...South Branch Brothers & Best Buds

Sent via email February 2010: We didn't forget about you. Here is a picture of Foster on his first day at the ski hill...Foster graduated at the top of his beginner obedience class this week and starts another obedience class April 14th. The trainers want me to train him for agility because he is so obedient, but I haven't decided yet...He is a real character and a great companion. Doug & Karen

Below is a picture of little Prince...

"Hi Holly, Prince has brought much joy to our family. We are happy to report that we are all getting much more exercise... and sleep since he became a member of our family. He attends day care part time and loves it and is loved by the staff. He has made many friends in the neighborhood already, both human and other dogs. The UPS driver even stopped to give him a treat. He is very intelligent but we do look forward to beginning school with him as he does have his own opinions and it is sometimes difficult to let him know who is really the boss.... :> kinda like our teenagers...Thanks so much for the e-mails and great information that you gave us at pick-up. We will be sure to recommend you to others who are looking for an excellent breeder. We have taken a few dozen pics of course, but are sending just a couple to show you that yes, that he is beautiful...

Next four pictures below of "Pooka" who lives with her family in the Chicago area...move over Gisele!!

"Hi Holly - I have some exciting news about Pooka...You may recall, my husband works for Bowtie Inc. publisher of Dog Fancy/Dog World/Puppies USA and other breed specific publications. They have a puppy magazine coming out in February and Pooka is in the running to be on the cover! Jeff took her to the photo shoot and said it was a riot...Aside from her pursuing a career as a cover girl, she is doing great. We start school on Sunday which we are all excited about. I'll keep you informed. Take care." Kathy

Pictures of little Glenda at her new home near the Twin Cities...

Holly, "How nice to hear from you! I cannot believe how fast she settled in. So much fun to see a puppy react to something new almost every minute! She is funny, loves to bark at me to play, loves to take this jump and leap from the small kitchen step to the family room! Loves to sit on a landscape rock outside and jump off into what was the leaves from the day lillies! We are just hysterical watching her. She's lovey, takes to all people eventually and everyone wants to hold her. She also can trash the house with toys very fast! Looks like home around here again! ...Wants to spend her day out of the crate following me or laying by me. She learns fast! We worked on sit yesterday, and today we wil use the little harness and walk the neighborhood...she is a love...Thank you for this little furball and know she will be loved!" Rita

Below is little Sophie at home and spending a day at the beach with her new family in Charleston, SC...

"Dear Holly, Thanks for asking about Sophie. She is doing great! It is a pleasure to have four little feet running around our house again. She is a very smart, sweet and calm puppy with a wonderful heart. Her trip down here was great and her assimilation into our house has gone well...As you can see from the pics, she has taken quite well to life on the coast – even enjoyed a trip to the beach!" Jake, Ally and family

Below is a picture of little Foster. Barely 8 weeks old and look at him walking so fancy already on the leash! Good job Mom and Dad!!

"Hi Holly, I really do miss you and my brothers and sisters, but I have a lot of new friends. Two new puppy friends and lots of people. Today I went for my first boat ride to Fond Du Lac, Oshkosh, and Pipe. As you can see in the pictures I'm still too small to drive but I loved the ride." Foster D

Below is little Kaiah at her new home in northern Wisconsin. "Hey, Jason, check out all this cool dirt I found under the deck!"

Kaiah and her best bud, Jason.

Summertime in the great Northwoods = unlimited exploration and guaranteed good times!

Daddy Roy and his little boy, Foster. Photos taken at pick up.

Here's what Mom and Dad have to say about little Foster:

"Foster is doing great. He hasn't had even one accident in the house. He barked twice at 1:30 this morning and Karen took him outside. He did his job and went right back to sleep. At 5:30 he barked twice, did his duty outside and then came in and ate breakfast and played. He has been perfect and everyone loves him."

Doug and Karen

Below are Charlee and Mamma Stephanie. Two lovely ladies! Charlee's older sister is Liddy who is nine years young and also from South Branch!

Here's what Daddy Terry says about little Charlee..."I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that our little girl is settling into her new home quite nicely. After a quiet car ride home and nap yesterday we played and played and played in the back yard. We also introduced her to Liddy and they have already become fast friends. She even peed in the yard! After all that playing she didn't want to eat so we let her take a nap and again tried later but she was more interested in swimming in the water bowl. We played until about 9 and we were all pooped so we put Charlee in her kennel and waited for the crying to begin but to our surprise it never did! She woke us at about 5am and we went outside and she again peed and then we came back in and she ate an entire bowl of food and then we went outside and she did her business. We were so proud! Today she also learned how to climb the steps on the deck and to climb into the kennel by herself when she's tired. She's showing her own little personality and we are absolutely in love with her. Thanks again for giving us such a wonderful addition to the family."

Below is little Cooper with his new family. Lots of love to go around!! Mom says this..."I have attached a picture from Cooper's first day home. Thanks for helping make our family complete. He truly is a wonderful dog and we will always treasure him." The Langers
