| Love
your web site! When can we expect some new puppy photos. It makes my day to
see some new little setters. Our setter we purchased from you two years ago
has truly been a joy to have in our family. Keep up the good work!

Just thought I would
try my hand at surfing English Setter Web Sites to see if you happened to
have one...and viola...there you are...If you remember me, Gary W., I was
the guy who ordered a setter from you from Saudi Arabia...not sure you have
many of those, so I assume you remember me...Hard to believe, but that was
over 5 years ago...and Sadie is doing fine...last year was cut short for
hunting...against better sense, I decided that I couldn't wait any longer to
quail hunt because of a warm fall, and on the 6th of Dec, yes 6 Dec, took
Sadie out...we hadn't been out 10 minutes and she got hit by a
rattlesnake...made it to a vet in about 25 minutes, antivenin shot, and
three tough days, but she made it just fine. Have hunted her hard the
past 5 days and she is wonderful...hard hunter, great nose, works well, and
all her mistakes are because of me...I don't have a digital camera picture
of her, but will get one and send to you, think you would like her looks,
and let you compare to her dad and mom. Have not bred her yet, but
think this spring will be the time...she is too good a dog not to have some
offspring...She is a wonderful dog and is my loyal companion, and a member
of the family...and she is basically bored...unless she is out
hunting...Glad to have made contact with you...looks like you are doing
well...Happy New Year! |

Kerry,
Here are a few pictures my wife took of Sadie pointing a quail wing in our
front yard last Saturday August 2, 2003. She is growing like a weed.
Saturday night I took her up to ............Sadie was the life of the party.
Everytime I look at her walking through the house or out back romping with
the boys I can't help but be amazed at how happy I am that she is here.
Anyway I will try to attach a few pictures. R.S. Texas |

I am
sure that you don't remember me, (Leon O.) I went out to your place a year
and a half ago to pick up an English setter pup. Her name was Sparky. She
has brought so much joy into my life. Very smart little girl and very
obedient, She makes me proud every time I take her out. When at the
Thanksgiving dinner table we were all saying what we were thankful for and
each of the members of the family said her name, then my wife told me to
write this note to you just to relay our thanks. Austin (my 4 year old): He
said he was thankful for the new house because it had more room, and was
thankful for Sparky who laid on his bed and kept the bad people away. (in
our old house someone broke in, she went nuts barking and carrying on
scaring the people away.) Devan (my 6 year old): He said that he was
thankful for school because it was allot of fun and thankful for Sparky who
is always his friend. (When he is put on time outs the dog sits in the
corner with him and cuddles.)
Kim (my wife): said she was thankful for Sparky because she has kept me
healthy. (With all the hunting and training that I have been doing I have
dropped 30 pound and now weigh 155 pound and my cholesterol is also down.)
Me: I am thankful because she make everybody happy and keeps me moving. Now
all I have to do is learn how to shoot decently. I am lucky if I shoot 50%,
thank God my father usually comes along and takes the bird. So far this
year we have taken 52 birds, mixture of pheasant, grouse, and woodcocks. We
still have allot of time left. So in summary the entire O. family
thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. Best holiday wishes, The O. family |

| Kerry,
Major and Scout are awesome. They are doing great. it is amazing how two
brothers can be so different. My only complaint is that you sent them here
without housebreaking them. oh well - thanks again, Todd |
|
| Hope this makes it.
Had a good time today hunting. Lots of birds. hope I can make it out again
this weekend. B B ND |

| Hi
Kerry, Just a very short note on this Blacksmith/Goober pup I bought
from you. She is a jewel! Other than being a puppy and full of fun and
curiosity, she points pigeons by scent and sight points them too. We take a
walk almost every day, she seems to have learned the turn whistle and comes
when called. A better pup I couldn't have asked for. Energy to spare too.
I'm quite pleased so far. Nothing serious at the moment. She also has a long
memory. If I've planted a pigeon a few days earlier in a spot she goes and
checks it out. Thanks again, Brad M. |

| Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I rec'd your check for the crate return. We
are loving Cody. He's so full of energy and has brought out the spunk in our
older English Setter. They play all the time. There's snow here and he loves
that too. I still look on your website daily to look at the puppies. If you
ever need a referral for any of your customers, I would be happy to provide
one. I would also buy another dog from you in a heartbeat, but 3 dogs is
enough for now. Thanks again for Cody, he's been a great addition to
our family and appears to like living in the house and sleeping on our bed
(although he does snore for a little dog). Paula Z. |

I am so
pleased with the pup I purchased from you in August, 2001. She was from
Havelock Blacksmith x Havelock Bonnie. I looked on your web site and it
looks like you are expecting a litter next week from this same breeding. I
would like to reserve a female. I am also interested in a male pup but
perhaps you can guide me there on a different dam bred to Havelock
Blacksmith. This pup I have is a great hunter already and has a wonderful
personality. You certainly picked a good one for me. Thank you for your
help. Jane W.
That sounds good. Hope I can again get a female with dark eyelids. Sure
like that look in "Jordan". Appreciate your help on that. She pointed
pheasants for us in Oct. when we were in Sydney, MT. We just didn't believe
her at first. We took her along just to let her see the whole sport and
watch. But she fooled us. The guns never did bother her at all. Do you do
any training with that? Also when she came to us she retrieved. Did you
teach them to do any retrieving? We were very impressed. Thanks again. I
trust your judgment on the male--we'll keep in touch. Hope the new pups do
well. Jane W. |

Attached are some photographs of Maximillian Tomoka. Max will be four in
June and is the son of Blacksmith and Blue Panzer. As you can see
Max is big into hunting, even in our yard. When we are not out looking
for pheasants, grouse or sharptails he is busy looking for bees,
sparrows, chipmunks or anything that moves and challenges his territory.
As you can also see, he does rest between his real or imaginary hunts.
In the field Max is GREAT. Very eager and works from morning until
sunset, and ready the next mooring for more. We have taken him to field
with a number of hunters, including some with retrievers, and always
receive accolades and praise for his work ethic and pointing abilities.
HE IS GREAT Max is easy to train and always eager to please. I
think his demeanor is in part to breeding and in part to the environment
of the kennel environment he was born and raised in. He was a very well
adjusted dog. He is just as good a family dog as he is a hunter.
He Loves people as much as he loves hunting. Thanks for the GREAT
dog. Dave G St. Cloud, Mn. |

What do you have available in males white white
and orange. Hi tailed, even marked pedigrees. I have a blacksmith female
now. Looks great a nose second to none. Better than 1/2 sister out of
Destinare.
Thanks

| I am
interested in a black/white or tri-color female out of Blacksmith. We
purchased two puppies from you about two years ago and have been very
pleased. We run a hunting lodge and will need to be replacing some older
dogs in the near future. Please let me know what you have available. T.R. ....................

| Thought we
would share some pictures of Cheyanne of Montana. She is taking it easy
with some golden retriever pups. We sure are enjoying her - Thanks for
a great girl! The Miller's. |

| Thought you
might appreciate another photo of one of your dogs, and finally, a photo
of him on point. He's in the new Dunn's catalog three times. Once on a
dog bed, once in a back seat dog hammock and once with the backing
dummy. He's not shrunk any, still around 80 lbs, but I'll tell you - as
he gets older, he just gets sweeter. Hard not to make him a house dog.
