We are having a blast with Major.  He is so smart and lovable and really wants to please.  He cried for around 45 minutes Thursday night when Corry began the crate training for night and that was it.  He now sleeps in his crate right beside Corry's bed and Corry gets up and takes him out every few hours.  He has  had only 3 accidents in the house.  He takes a walk around the block on the leash in the morning and in the evening and does very well.  He is just a bundle of joy for us and is so full of life.  Mary Claire

Eli passed his first vet check other than some roundworms which we are treating.  Housebreaking is progressing although we still have occasional accidents, especially when we don't monitor how much water he has had.  He seems to be picking up some basic commands, for instance sit, very quickly.  My 6 year old chocolate lab, Zoey, wasn't too thrilled at first to have a puppy around but within the week had warmed up to him.  Attached is a picture of the two of them playing together which they do quite a bit now.  I have also attached a few other pictures including Eli dressed in his Mountaineer gear.  He continues to be very adorable and likes to be held and cuddled.  Everyone who has meet him thinks he is the cutest puppy they have ever seen!  (Breeders note:  Eli was due for his next worming, which is done every two weeks from two weeks of age up to 12 weeks and monthly thereafter, a week after he went home at 7 weeks.  We use Nemex-2.  Puppies are inevitably born with worms, and must be treated agressively under a Veterinarian's supervision while young).  Mommy is always treated when her puppies are treated.

Tina, Hey!  Just thought I would take a minute to tell Millie is doing great!!  I have enclosed a few pictures so you can see how she is growing.  Her new friend is Mr. Quackers.  Marzella ////Millie stayed right here in Southern, West Virginia
