Braylor's Papillons: Testimonials and photos 2007-2008

Testimonials 2007-2008
	5-4-08 Brandi, Well, our entry for that obedience trial in January didn't get there in time. So, Chris went to his first trial a couple weeks ago. He won Novice B on Saturday. We only placed third on Sunday. I think Chris will be going back to rally soon to get his advanced and excellent titles. He finished his CD yesterday and got an extra leg today. He had a huge class and we didn't place either day but his heeling is gorgeous. I'm attaching our CD photo. I'm very proud of our little guy! He's such a star. Beth (CO, USA)
	4-30-08 Brandi, Our first outing on our new boat. Here's my daughter, Grace, holding Addy and hanging out with my husband's American Bulldog puppy, Deuce! We all had a blast! Shell (TX, USA)
	4-20-08 Hi Brandi & Mike, Just wanted to update you on how Porsche (Daphne) is doing. She seems to be very well adjusted to my home, family and dogs. My male Boston leaves her alone. He's kind of a stand-offish guy. My female is smaller, close to Porsche's height and Porsche taps on her, Kitty (my female Boston) rolls on her back and Porsche pounces on her, while she rolls back and forth and snorts. It has become their favorite game. I tell her to be my collar and she climbs up, places her back paws on the center of my bra (through my clothes) and wraps herself around my neck and shoulder. She sleeps in my bed and it's her favorite place to be. She runs circles in my yard, and she moves fast. She travels well in the car and appears to be at home with me. When I leave the room (momentarily) she barks and awaits my return or follows me. All in all she's adjusted well. I am so happy with this sweet baby, thank you for sending me this little dream. Sincerely, Irene Hyland (NY, USA)
	4-15-08 Hi Brandi, Thought I'd give you an update. Emmy is just coming out of her shell. She has been such a lover and finally is turning into a very active litte girl. She has a little bunny friend who lives under our deck and I am trying so hard to get a picture of them staring at each other. The bunny is about 1/2 of her size. They have this little stare down a couple times a day and then the bunny dashes off thru the fence to the pool area. These are a couple pictures I took just about an hour ago. She and Onyx are starting to play together - he's getting over his attitude of not being "the baby" anymore. Tracy (TX, USA)
	4-11-08 Hi Brandi & Mike, I know it's been a while, gosh almost 4 years now. Just wanted to send you some updated pics of our little miss panda bear, she's still as sweet as can be and smarter than i could ever imagine. Less than a year ago we moved from Yonkers, NY down to Knoxville, TN and she seems to be Loving It!! Hope all is well with you both and congrats on all the championships!! Very, very impressive :-) ps - getting used to the weather down here isn't easy, hope you all aren't getting bombarded with all the flooding and tornados oh, one more thing, there's a pic included in the bundle of Panda and her brother Buddy, he's very camera shy so its difficult to take a good "together" pic. Anna (TN, USA)
	4-9-08 Hi Brandi, Just wanted to give you an update on the paps. Everyone is doing just great, we just celebrated Sliders 2nd b day this past sunday. We had a little doggie birthday party for him and invited 6 of his little friends. It was a lot of fun. I have included some pictures to show you just for fun. I also have a picture in there of little Laddie, now that he is all grown up, he sure is the spitting image of his mother linette! -Mallory (AZ, USA)
	4-9-08 Hi Brandi and Mike Yesterday was the "little mans " birthday - although the cupcake was just a prop, we did indulge with a bit of tenderloin !! Of course we had to work for it - just a few sits and downs. I took Titus with me to do an "Open House" and some shopping and then in the evening we had our weave pole seminar. Titus had fun on all of the obstacles and sniffing all the other dogs - I was noticing how many of the other students really do look like their dogs and than I began to wonder if I look like Titus ???? Warm Regards, Barbara (FL, USA)
	3-29-08 The Asparagus Bandits! Spud and Wonder have always loved aspargus and will search the bed all season long to eat it. I have to watch them otherwise they would eat too much. They are the same way with the strawberry patch and they steal the tomatoes from the plant when they get ripe. The 'Big dogs' do the same thing but not quite like the little ones, open the door and they head right to the asparagus. Isn't Spuddy gorgeous? Jill (AL, USA)
	3-26-08 Dear Brandi & Mike, I just had to write and tell you the funniest story. Several months ago, Titus decided on his favorite toy, similar to what you see in the photo, except that it was green, and we called it The Turtle. No matter where he was, if I called out, where is the turtle, he would come running and bring it to me. He carried it everywhere and even slept with it. One day, we couldn't find it, and I could sense his dismay - he kept looking under things and it was very sad. We took a trip to Pet Smart and in my fear of losing another, I bought 3 more in various colors. I gave him two, an orange and another green and put this red one away in a bag in the garage. And then I forgot about it. Today he was sniffing at the bag and would not leave it alone and since there were many other things there I did not really know what he was doing and we went back in the house. A few minutes later I heard him barking at the garage door and he would not stop, so I let him into the garage and he went right to the bag and pulled out the toy. He proudly carried it up the stairs and is guarding it as you can see. He is more amazing every day - very smart and very determined!!! Titus is such a willing partner and as you can see quite handsome !!!! Warm Regards, Barbara (FL, USA)
	3-25-08 Hello, Emmy is doing good. She is sitting on my lap right now as I'm writing to you. I think in the morning after a good nights sleep she'll be even better. Eating is not going to be a problem. She's had 2 good meals and a snack today. She's gone potty outside. She is fine with the other dogs. Han Solo (yorkie) is in love. He followed Onyx around for a few weeks when we brought him home. This is a common theme, he falls in love easily. They're gonna be so cute playing together. They are the exactly the same size. Onyx (the pap) loves her toys. UUGGHHH!!! I've had to take them away from him many times. He seems to think those are her presents to him. My handicapped yorkie has a fit that she's been in my lap so much. He just has to squeeze up there too. I saw Emmy cleaning his face and ears. Here are a few pics of Emmy over the weekend. In some of the pictures she has a black sweater on. I put that on her in the morings because the tile floor is cold. She's a great little sleeper and snuggler. She's doing good and we're spoiling her. I always thought people who dressed their dogs were a little on the crazy side....WELL now I'm one of them. Tracy & Chuck (TX, USA)
	3-24-08 Hi Brandi, Just wanted to let you know that Austin is maturing into such a handsome little boy! He gets comments where ever he goes, and definitely has a "show off" attitude. I love taking him to shows with Colleen and getting asked if he's being shown! He's been in agility classes for a while now, and of course was in the top of his class -- FAST learner and FAST runner! I planned on entering him and my other pap in the National in April, but unfortunately with college and work it didn't fit in my schedule. We'll probably compete in May though, so I'll let you know how it goes. He plays almost constantly with Chloe, and even though he's smaller, he doesn't hesitate to jump all over her and have some intense 'wrestling' matches! His favorite thing is playing soccer with his little squeaky toys. He literally throws it up in the air and kicks it around..he is so amusing! There is never a dull moment with Austin. We take them almost every day to the park and let them have a good long run together, and he's in great shape. I swear they must run 3 miles with no problem. He absolutely loves to eat, which gives him a really great drive to learn new commands with treats. I groom him about once a week, and he loves bath time and being pretty! I couldn't ask for a better little guy, and my mom just thinks he is perfect too. I always check for new pictures of Jojo and Candy...I love seeing how they are doing as well. I've attached some pictures of him from this month, enjoy!! Thanks for such a healthy, pretty boy! Lauren, Chloe, and Austin (DE, USA)
	3-16-08 Hi Brandi & Mike, I think about you often and how fortunate I was to find you and Titus - he is such a wonderful companion !!! We are doing agility training about twice a week with a trainer and we practice every day. Titus has his own set of weave poles as you can see he has mastered the 6 - I can send him off and be on either side and he does not miss . We are anxious to get in the field soon and try 12. He will be a year old on April 8th and our goal is to try and start competing in Nov. or Dec. We are starting our third series of agility classes and are doing a weave pole seminar once a week - I will continue my private lessons on Saturdays when my instructor is available. It is amazing how much there is to learn and how many mistakes the handler can make - last night we were doing front and rear crosses over a series of 6 jumps and all the other students were with older dogs and were actively competing - I asked the instructor if she would take Titus through the first time so that he could experience it correctly and I could see what it looked like. She thought that he would probably need to do it in stages because the series of 6 was too long - boy was she mistaken - I had been practicing sending him to the jumps - so with the comand of go jump and come jump, he executed the course with her doing front and rear crosses perfectly - as I was driving home that night I again reveled in the joy of having the right dog and the right trainer. He is so well behaved where ever we go. Have a Happy Easter !! Love , Barbara and Titus (FL, USA)
	3-8-08 Hi Brandi, Is this the custest face you ever saw???! Doug (NM, USA)
	3-8-08 Hi Brandi, I thought you might enjoy a couple new pictures of Jazzy on bath day! She's sitting between 4 named toys that she has learned to BRING to me the one I choose! Since she is not a "bring" type of Papillon, this has been a gradual process over time. Of course sometimes she still wants to bring to me the one she chooses after giving it a good shake. But if she wants a treat, she knows that she'll need to bring the one I asked for! I just had to find a new way to challenge her as I had run out of tricks to teach her after she learned 19 different ones! She still prefers people to dogs and continues to win over even non-dog lovers in minutes. Everyone wants to take her home as soon as they meet her. She's a healthy, happy 4 year old and still the prettiest Papillon little girl! I can't imagine my life without her company. Susan (GA, USA)
	3-7-08 Hi Brandi, Just letting you know that everything is fine with the boys. Those two play all the time. Right now they are about the same weight although Darcy will eventually be the bigger dog. Riyo is getting the better of him right now, but I keep warning Riyo that he’ll be putting on another pound or two so he better be nice. They really get along great. They are the terrible two. What one Pap can get into on their own, two conspire to do even more! Here are some pictures of them. We got stuck in the snowstorm yesterday through Oklahoma and Texas, but we made the best of it! Maya (TX, USA)
	3-4-08 Brandi, I was so proud of Desi this weekend at his first agility trial. He not only got a first place, he got 5 firsts and 1 second and got a new title in Novice B and is already in Open in both Jumper and Standard. What a man!! I was going to take a picture with all his ribbons and toys that he won. I will send it ASAP. Dallas Qualified in Jumper 2x's coming in 11th out of 73 dogs and 8th out of 74 dogs. He is right up there with the best. They both make me so proud. Jill (NY, USA)
	2-29-08 Dear Brandi, Jedi received his JWW Novice title in Franklin Tennessee on 9/28/07 and his Standard Novice title in Franklin, Tennessee on 1/25/08 both were AKC shows put on by the Nashville Dog Training Club. Jedi is also a Delta certified Therapy dog as well as a Reading Education Assistance Dog (R.E.A.D.) certified by Intermountain Therapy. Prior to those certification tests of course he had to pass his Canine Good Citizen's test. He is an amazing little dog with a giant heart as you can tell. He is greately loved. Keep us posted on puppies. Look forward to hearing from you. Blessings, Carol (TN, USA)
	2-25-08 Hi Brandi, I'm F-I-N-A-L-L-Y home from the IKC!!!!!!!!!!!!! My wonderful pack of agile puppers are sound asleep - resting the rest little champions deserve! Oh I'm just sooooooooooooo proud of my dogs - I have to, have to, have to brag a bit. We finished 6 AKC titles across three dogs - Trek earned 3 AKC agility titles, his Novice Jumpers (NAJ), Novice Standard (NA) AND his Novice Fast (NF) titles!!!! He Q'd 6 out of 9 runs across three days. He earned 4 - 1st Place Q's & 2 - 2nd Place Q's. Friday, Feb 22nd 2008 Jumpers with Weaves Novice B - Score 100, SCT 50/124 yards, Trek's time 31.76 - 1st Place Q and Title = NAJ FAST - Novice B - Score 67 pts, SCT 35, Trek's time 37.30 - 1st Place Q Saturday, Feb 23rd 2008 FAST - Novice B - Score 77 pts, SCT 35, Trek's time 28.72 - 1st Place Q Standard - Novice B - Score 90, SCT 82/154 yards, Trek's time 48.52 - 2nd Place Q Sunday, Feb 24th 2008 FAST - Novice B - Score 65 pts, SCT 35, Trek's time 34.02 - 2nd Place Q and Title = NF Standard - Novice B - Score 100, SCT 74/137 yards, Trek's time 48.30 - 1st Place Q and Title = NA and Title = NA You don't know how excited I was to brag on this!!! I just couldn't wait to tell you!!! I knew you would be tickled to hear. Our 'Little Fuss' is coming along just as I had hoped. Really more than I could have dreamed honestly. Some days it's so hard to remember he's still relatively a baby at this, ya know? He's only 3 and a little bit and has only been showing for a little over two years. So.....yes, Brandi....our little darling has done it AGAIN - I think I should start only surprising you when Trek - doesn't OUT Q Deri, my Border Collie!!!! lol While all my furkids were wonderful - I have to say - Trek WAS the superstar from a results point of view. I'm still flying high on my pups this weekend. Lee Ann (IL, USA)
	2-25-08 Hi Brandi, This is a lot of Pictures, but we are proud of him. Jake is one year old and the most loving little boy. He has brought a lot of joy into our lives. Thank You for placing him with us. Thanks again for our little Jake, David (TX, USA)
	2-24-08 Hi Brandi, Here's a new pic of Addy. Grace, my 8 year old daughter took this pic. Not bad huh? Shell (TX, USA)
	2-19-08 Hi Brandi, Here are some new pictures of Kerrmit. He is such a nut. He is doing really well though and loves to be out in the backyard. I am actually making time to stop my crazy day, and just go out there and play with him. Hope all is well. Julie (TX, USA)
	2-18-08 Hi Brandi, We just got back from the trade show in San Diego, and Cowboy, who is now being called Mr. Darcy, did great. He is quiet, well behaved, calm, and friendly. He did wonderfully in the fashion show and at the booth. I didn’t get any good pictures of the fashion show, they just didn’t come out well. He was working together with Roux, the boxer, what a pair. They made a great team! Riyo was present in spirit and large photos, as you can see in the picture. The two of them are getting together REALLY well at home. Riyo is bossy, nothing new, but they play together all day. They appear to be attached by an invisible leash. He really has been a pleasure to have. Everybody loves him and he is the most affectionate dog ever. I thought Riyo was a cuddler! Mr. Darcy is the biggest love bug ever! I’m really really enjoying both the dogs. I will send you more pictures later! Maya (TX, USA)
	2-14-08 Dear Brandi, In Oct. 2005 you sold me an amazing papillon named Jedi. He is everything you said he would be and more. He is a therapy dog who ministers to both young and old alike, a very energetic agility dog competing in AKC open jumpers and standard and a loving companion. My family always laughs and says that Jedi never has a bad day. He is the happiest dog on the planet and has become my other papillon, Ginny's, best friend. As you can tell we love Jedi. My daughter Grace would like to find a papillon just like Jedi only red and white. I am writing to see if you might be breeding soon with the possibility of a red and white male. Jedi turned out to be 10lbs and 11 3/4 in. She loves his size and his outgoing personality. She would also consider an older puppy as I did with Jedi. He was 6 month old when you sent him our way. I look forward to hearing from you and hope you are doing well. I will try to send some more resent pictures of Jedi. It is amazing how much he looks like his father. I am excited that my daughter has decided to bring a papillon into her life as I only live a few miles from her and will also get to enjoy her new furbaby. Blessings, Carol Monger (TN, USA)
	2-9-08 Holy smokes, - can I tell ya how much fun I had this weekend running USDAA for the first time EVER!!!! OMG - we had a ball!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trek was so at home in this venue - almost too much so - he was so funny. He had to and I mean had to disconnect from time to time to do GREAT BIG LOOPS ACROSS THE COURSE LOOKING AT EVERYONE!!!!! Just cause he had to introduce himself to alllllllllllllll these new people who have not yet had the pleasure to watch him run!!!! Oh was he funnnyyyyyyy - but these little disconnects didn't distract from some reallllllllllllly nice runs. Three first Place Q's and one second - and again, out Q'ing even Deri my Border Collie who got to run in Starters - the same level as Trek!!!!!!! The video on the dvd is just a hoot to watch!!!! I've never seen Trek from this vantage point, but it made me really understand why people find him so captivating when he runs - I mean I know why I love him - but from this perspective - he's really just too adorable!!!! All your brain can register watching is, "Oh my heavens, look at him go! He's just too cute for words!" LeeAnn (IL, USA)
	2-12-08 Hello Brandi, I am not at all a professional photographer but I seriously hope to start working on it once I finally finish a degree in a totally unrelated field, lol. Remy really is hard to get, he is constantly in movement, even when he appears to be sitting still. And I do not use the flash so much, I don't like the light it gives off most of the time, so that makes it even harder. I have so many shots of a Remy blur leaving the scene it is a riot! We have fun, though. The new photo I posted was using one of the lights from a set I just recently bought. Celeste (LA, USA)
	2-11-08 Hello Brandi, Well Buster as we call him (he needed a boy name in an all girl house!) is getting ready for his first trip to Florida. He is adorable and beautiful, came back from the groomers this past Saturday and I swear he looks fluffier! He loves chasing the cat, they play they don't fight, but he is obsessed with the cat! Cat (NY, USA)
	2-5-08 Hello Brandi, I hope this email finds you all well. By the way, I loved the Christmas picture you sent out, it was very cute. Bandit is beautiful and healthy and we truly love having him. I am so glad we decided to get him and you decided to let us have him. He is a delightful member of our family now. I am including a couple of pictures from back in November for you to see. Hope you are having a great day, Jo (TX, USA)
	2-3-08 Hi Brandi, I'm crazy busy lately, but here's a quick pic of the boys together (Remy & Dom his Chihuahua buddy).. we're getting used to posing!!! I think the hour straight of agility for just the 3 of us yesterday afternoon helped my cause... Celeste (LA, USA)
	1-30-08 Brandi, PJ has found his place with the other two Paps. He and Frankie have become play partners. He is so smart and has many of the personality traits that endeared us to Spike. Thanks, Doug and Debbie (NM, USA)
	1-30-08 Hi Brandi, As you can see it's all about fashion with Mitsi!!! When I dress her she knows to pick up her legs so I can put them through her dresses. Denise (TX, USA)
	1-30-08 Hi Brandi, Well, I finally figured out how to send pictures from my computer. Attached is our sweet little girl. This is her Christmas Photo. Isn't she just the cutest. She'll be 3 in March. We are having so much fun with her. June 1 will be 2 years we've had this darling little girl. As I always say, 'it's all about her' and she knows it. Mitsi Rules!!!! One other thing - - from 8-5 she's a Daddy's girl and from 6-bedtime it's all about her Mommy!!!!! I hope you all are doing well. Take care and thanks again for raising such awesome Papillons. Denise (TX, USA)
	1-29-08 Hi Brandi, Here is a copy of a photo that I will be getting soon and when I do I will scan it full size and send it your way. The photo with me in it looks like I'm out for a Sunday stroll when in fact I was running like crazy to beat Dallas to the end of the dog walk. If I remember correctly............he won. Check out his expression in all the photos. Is he smiling or what? Below you will also find a picture of Desi with a new pal that my friend sent us. Jill (NY, USA)
	1-29-08 Brandi, PJ is really fitting in well. He and Frankie are becoming best buds. Frankie lets PJ chase him around the yard. It's quite a hoot to watch. The exercise will do Frankie good! Doug (NM, USA)
	1-25-08 Hi Brandi, Riyo started his own blog. I will send some of his entries. Blog Entry #1...Riyo: "Well, mom decided we had to go to work today, so I stopped to get a latte. Grande soy latte please." Maya (TX, USA)
	1-25-08 Hi Brandi, Blog entry #2....Riyo: "We went to the store and I got a new bag! I love my bags. Do you like my picture on the side? I know the pictures looks a little fuzzy. Mom was really mad at the camera, she finally figured out that I licked the lense. Hahahaha!" Maya (TX, USA)
	1-25-08 Hi Brandi, Blog entry #3....Riyo: "Well, I'm done with my blog for today. Must get to work." Maya (TX, USA)
	1-25-08 Hi Brandi, Blog entry #4....Riyo: "Wow it's windy! But I love my walking club! We go to neat places and walk and walk and walk. I thought I'd pose during my break. I love how the wind blows my ears..." Maya (TX, USA)
	1-24-08 Hi, Dom & Remy! Celeste (LA, USA)
	1-25-08 Brandi, Finally some photos! PJ has an affinity to sleeping on or near ones face. He still has puppy breath. He's not a whiner. He has decided that he and our other two dogs WILL get along. But, he has still to figure out what is his and what is not. They know, and are in the process of teaching him. Thing we now remember about puppies: 1) They have very sharp teeth! 2) They chew EVERYTHING! 3) It takes them a while to pick up on "Pooping is an outside thing" (It's only been 24 hours) 4) They consider computer cables a chew toy. 5) They have lots of enthusiam but little coordination. 6) They don't walk or run, they prance and dance. 7) They are very full of love. More photos as we can get them. Doug & Deb (NM, USA)
	1-24-08 Hi, We made it home! Finally! PJ slept most of the way home. BTW we've decided to name our new baby PJ (for Prince Junior.) He's really a good traveler. PJ has so much energy that I think he scares Joey and Frankie a little. They don't know what to make of his constant dancing! Right now PJ is running and jumping all over my office and the other two have found safe havens and are just just watching him, trying to figure out what makes him tick. I think when they figure it out he'll be welcomed to the family. It's hard to get a picture of him because he never stops moving! See the attached example. When I get some good ones, I'll send them. Thanks so much for meeting me at the airport. Doug (NM, USA)
	1-15-08 Hi Brandi, Been on your web site to see what pups you have available (cutie-patooties). I’m getting the itch to bring Roo a playmate, maybe not “tomorrow” but thinking about it - would you recommend that? Roo is queen of the household, no doubt, but she LOVES her pap boyfriend up the street, and they are awesome together and in each other’s homes. Are you planning to breed Coco in the future or Ellie? I’m attaching two photos of Roo and a real butterfly (this opportunity literally landed in my lap, and Roo was intrigued). Chris (PA, USA)
	1-8-08 Hey guys, Addy is now a true farm dog! Shell (TX, USA)
	1-7-08 Goodmorning Brandi and Mike, I just snapped this shot of Oscar and Titus watching activity out side the front door. I wanted to send you this so you could see what good buddies they are . Oscar is 11 now and goes very slowly off leash when we go for our walks - Titus is always looking behind us to make sure that Oscar is not lost, and will actually stop if he thinks that Oscar is too far away and wait for him to catch up - it is very cute !! Also meant to ask you if any of the other pictures in the testemonial section are siblings of Titus ? Have a great day. Barbara (FL, USA)
	1-6-08 Dear Brandi & Mike, Titus had a wonderful first Christmas, we had lots of family and friends visiting and although he was a bit timid at first with the large groups of people, he soon adjusted and was quite the little gentleman !! Everyone was charmed. Santa brought Titus his very own set of weave poles - we will now be able to practice a little every day. He is learning all the time and loving it. Tunnels and A frames were so easy for him we were just all amazed. He understand jump and go to the table as well . We go for a walk almost every day in a wonderful park downtown and Titus greets all the other dogs. He is a joy and a delight and he is sitting on my lap as I type this letter - we are practically inseparable. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Warm Regards, Barbara (FL, USA)
	1-6-08 Hey guys, Addy says, Look what a cute present I make! Shell (TX, USA)
	1-5-08 Hi Brandi & Mike, Just wanted to write and give you an update on Casey. We spent some time in Florida and north carolina over the holidays and he played with lots of other dogs and had so much fun. I have attached some pictures for you to look at. I can't believe we have had him for almost 2 years. He is such a good dog. He has recently earned his freedom during the day, we used to keep him in this huge cage with his bed while we were at work, but now he gets the entire bedroom and he has been so good while we are gone. We love him so much and are so happy we decided to make him a part of our family. Melissa, Eric & "Casey" (NY, USA)
	1-5-08 Brandi, We are the ones that bought YoYo from you back in February. I’ve been trying to get around to writing ya’ll for a while but I knew it would take some time to sit down and do it because I have so much to say. Time isn’t something I’ve had a lot of recently but I’ve really wanted to tell you both how much we all love this little guy. We call him Shane, although we do see why you named him YoYo with the way he jumps up and down like a little spring. It’s hard to put into words just how unique he is. He’s so eccentric…quirky, he has traits of a human. Like the way he has to fluff his bed just so-so before he will circle around 4 or 5 times and lay down. Or the way he doesn’t like to eat alone, will eat one little kibble at a time, eats precisely from one side of the bowl to the other and will even leave it till he’s ready to finish (not inhaling it as our other dogs do!). Also, how he will lick us enthusiastically as if he’s preening us. And how that grungy, nasty, suppose-to-be white, little bear toy is like his little baby (no matter how many times we’ve tried to give him a new one, he still wants the ratty one). He will bring that bear to anyone that will play with him and he will bug anyone and everyone until they throw it for him. We have three other dogs but he would much rather play with the humans. He also does this thing like a cat where he licks his paw and rubs his face like he’s cleaning it. He’s such a character. We get a good laugh at him daily at the crazy stuff he does. It did take a while for him to really warm up to us; probably about three months to where we felt like he was really completely comfortable and happy. He has bonded the most with me and if I get up to leave the room he has to follow me wherever I go. He curls up in my lap any chance he gets (just what I wanted, a lap dog!). Surprisingly my husband absolutely loves him. He’s not one to bond with a dog. It’s not that he doesn’t like them, it’s just that he doesn’t usually get close to them. But he plays with Shane, throws the toy and looks forward to seeing him when he gets home. Shane has carried on the Papillon trait of intelligence for he knows six commands and recognizes several words. He looks at us intently, cocking his little head wanting so desperately to learn what we are saying. We also think he knows he’s from champion bloodlines because he carries himself like a little prince prancing around and letting the other dogs know when they are in his “personal space.” Anyways, I’ve really been wanting to let ya’ll know how very pleased we are with him and how special of a dog he is. I don’t know if his bloodlines help on his intelligence level or if he’s just a unique little guy. We are sure glad we found him on the internet and wanted ya’ll to know he has a VERY loving home. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to write you to let you know. Believe me, it hasn’t been because we’ve been disappointed in any way because Shane has a very magnetic personality. He is the prince of the castle!! P.S. I’ve attached some pictures and videos. Sincerely, Kari (TX, USA)

	1-2-08 Hey guys, I just posted two shots of Trek. The furbabies and I were out playing in the snow storm yesterday - and I just love the pics I got of them. I only posted Trek's, but Deri and Flipside took a couple awesome shots too. He's my Prairie Papillon. Anyway - here's my first shots for 2008! Lee Ann (IL, USA)
	1-2-08 Hi Brandi, I am starting my own company as a science education consultant. It will provide professional development, curriculum design and implementation, science editing, grant writing, etc. to teachers and companies interested in education. My little Chrissie is the inspiration for the name of the company and this is the photo that will be used as the logo. Kathy (VA, USA)
	12-28-07 Brandi & Mike, Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. These pics of Mitsi were from our trip to New Braunfels. I still can't get over what a good little traveler she is. She's our baby. She's the Princess of the House!!! Take care, Denise (TX, USA)
	12-26-07 Brandi & Mike, Hope you had a very Merry Christmas. Thinking about you and hope you enjoy the holidays with your family, friends, & papillons! I'm sending some pics of Venus I took of her enjoying the Christmas festivities yesterday. Happy New Year Carolyn, Eric, Shawn & VENUS (TX, USA)
	12-25-07 Brandi & Mike, Sandy isn't quite sure about all this nor does she quite comprehend going outside on the flexi but she seems to being doing fine. She slept in my arms all the way home. She did eat last night and was real animated this morning when everyone was let out. Trying to get pictures of them all together but she is still just watching from a distance. Here's a picture of her in her first "Sit, Stay" with Missy. Her tail is wagging so all is well. Thanks so much for entrusting her care to me. Sonja (TX, USA)
	12-25-07 Brandi & Mike, Merry Christmas! I'm sending a couple photos of Chris taken today. He had to wear his Muttluks for our walk today because we're having a white Christmas. He has been wearing them a lot lately because we've seen plenty of fresh snow in the last month. He's a real good sport about wearing them and his coat. I have him entered in an obedience trial in mid January. We're just doing wild card novice to see where he's at. He's learned to hold his dumbbell better than any retriever I've ever owned and he's learning to fetch very well. He loves learning new things. I can't wait to get him started on scent articles. We loved your Christmas card. Enjoy the rest of your Christmas and have a Happy New Year too! Beth (CO, USA)
	12-20-07 Brandi & Mike, Happy Holidays 2007! Love, Shell, Patrick, Grace & Aspen Asya & Addyson (TX, USA)
	12-11-07 Brandi, Merry Christmas to you! Frankie is doing great. He's just too cute! Doug (NM, USA)
	12-11-07 Hi Brandi & Mike! Cute pic of Charlie's sister! Thanks! I think Charlie is sooo good looking. Attaching another pic. He looks just like the little Prince Charles he is. Xoxo Josh & Amy & Charlie & Oliver (CA, USA)
	12-11-07 Hi Brandi & Mike! Merry Christmas to you & your family! I’ve attached the picture we are using for our Christmas card this year. Hope you’re great! Can’t believe it’s been two years since we first brought Charlie home! Take care! Xoxo Josh & Amy & Charlie & Oliver (CA, USA)
	12-6-07 Brandi, Here's are a few more Christmas pictures of Dallas and Desi. Jill (NY, USA)
	12-6-07 Brandi, Brandee's 2nd Christmas. See what a beautiful young lady she has become. Happy Holidays from Claudia & Brandee (TX, USA)
	12-5-07 Brandi, Earlier this year I was telling you about teaching my boys to help with the laundry and said, " I cannot wait to post a pic of him unloading the dryer. I don't mind the chores as much - the boys get SO excited at laundry activity it seems like a joyful affair. Too fun." I am glad you asked for a pic of him unloading the dryer-- I have been laughing and laughing and I needed to get one!! He's cheap help too-- joyfully accepts string cheese in payment!! I got the idea from service dog tasks. I'm lucky enough not to need a service dog, but you never know, and it is really fun to see them actually helping rather than just doing cute tricks!! Celeste (LA, USA)
	12-5-07 Brandi, All is going well. She is just so cute and learns so quickly we are all in love... even my husband who isn't really much of a pet person has fallen in love. I hope you enjoy the photo. I snapped that sitting at my desk to put in the photo slot of her Christmas stocking. I think it really captures her personality and I loved the way the sun is shining in the hair on her ears. Thank you for her. She is a welcome addition to our family. And needless to say, very spoiled. Julie (TX, USA)
	12-5-07 Brandi, Oh how Trek had me laughing at him today!!!!!! If you've been watching the news you may know we got our first snowfall in the Chicago area. Now - last year Trek had a terrible time with ice balls in his pads - so I bought him mucklucks. Now mind you - Trek is game for trying anything once and will do anything you show him to earn a click/treat. So we did one foot - then the other - and got him walking aorund. Oh I have to get it on tape before he gets used to them - he was stomping around the floor like he had tape stuck to his pads. Slap - slap - slap - slap - high stepping with his front feet to clicks and treats - then - once I stopped crying-laughing - we went for the back feet. Now high stepping and slap, slap, slapping on the floor all the way - I thought I would help him figure out why I was muffling his feet like this and just put him out in the snow. I swear you saw the light bulb and heard the "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I get it!!!!!!!!!!! Hey.................these are great - look at how fast I can run in the snow now!!!!!!! Woooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a dog! I'm charging up the camera now to get a pap-o-muckluck pic for the files! The rest of the crew was watching all this and you could just hear them muttering betwixt themselves - "Glad she picked Trek for this." Lee Ann (IL, USA)
	12-5-07 Brandi, I'm working from home today and Addyson is loving it! Wanted to confirm for you what you already knew....she is spoiled ROTTEN already. She officially thinks that she can not possibly sleep in her play pen at night. She made it all night Friday night, and Saturday night she made it all night until 4am - then I put her in bed with us and Asya. Sunday night she was having no part of sleeping in her playpen. I figure she's going to sleep with us anyway like Asya does, so why not now instead of later. Can you say, 'Princess Puppy'?? She played outside in the backyard with us yesterday. She was much more adventurous. It was so beautiful out too. Addyson loves to run around in the grass. She got to running so fast she got her back feet in front of her front ones on a turn and wiped out. She sat up and looked at me like, "what just happened?" Then she jumped up and took off again. She also likes to roll over on her back for a tummy rub while she's laying on the bed by me. She's a great cuddler too. She's just what I wanted! Shell (TX, USA)
	12-5-07 Hi Brandi, Hope all is well, I wanted to share some photos with you. Kerrmit (Atlas) is doing great, he sleeps through the night, and uses his piddle pad 99 % of the time. The boys (Justin and Gavin) love to race him in the yard, we are absolutly amazed at how fast he is! Have a great holiday! Robert, Julie, Justin and Gavin (TX, USA)
	12-4-07 Missy handled her photo with Santa like she did it everyday. The only one of my 3 dogs that didn't make an immediate attempt to get away. I know the guy who was dressed as Santa and he is a dog person so that might help or I've socialized her enough that she thinks it's fine to go with who I put her with. Missy is a dear. She is partial to Jaime so if she eludes me, I get him to get her. She rules the roost with the other two. Kiko gets his feet bit until he plays with her and she likes running up to and into Jack to hear him squeal. She has claimed all the toys and if the other two take one, she goes and takes it away from them and plays keep away with it until they lose interest. She does love taking naps with me and has to lay on my torso for our naps and flat tells the other two that is her space. Enjoy the pictures. (Missy was bred by Riley's Papillons, CH Braylor's Get Back JoJo is her sire). Sonja, Jaime and Missy (TX, USA)
	12-3-07 Brandi, Attached is the first try at a xmas pic for this year. I more than adore Rem as a companion, of course, but he wants to work, so competition or not, we will work!!! I think he is more than ready to earn his CGC, but I will schedule that when I have more time in the spring. I am trying to get him ahead in agility with some private lessons right now. I am having a blast too with his private sessions, I hope to continue this a while longer. He's my little man, he's always there for me. That bright little face melts my heart every time. Celeste (LA, USA)
	12-1-07 Brandi, Here are some nice photos of your babies, Dallas, Desi and Keegan. Jill (NY, USA)
	12-1-07 Brandi, Some new pictures of Rhea. I cleaned her up after all the snow. Sissy (TX, USA)
	11-30-07 Brandi, Dallas took 11th place out of 69 dogs, 2 days in a row, this past week at a very big trial. Not too shabby for such a baby dog. Desi is doing great and will be ready for the ring in February. Jill (NY, USA)
	11-27-07 Brandi, You and my husband are sneaky. Best birthday present ever! I named her Addyson, Addy for short. Shell (TX, USA)
	11-27-07 Brandi, Chrissie with her Thanksgiving placemat. Kathy (VA, USA)
	11-25-07 Brandi, She is home. I love her! Oh, she is a happy little girl! She has been following me every step all morning. Louise just watches her while Hal is actually playing with her. They are about the same size. The birth dates are just one day apart. Anyway, she is holding that tail over her back and stacking if she thinks I have something she needs. She has made herself at home. Here's her first snow! Thanks again Brandi for sending her to me. Sissy (TX, USA)
	11-23-07 Brandi & Mike, Here are the newest pictures of Georgy (BB) at age two. He is a fierce hunter and the dead cricket in the picture proves it. He also likes Christmas time, pulling the bows off the packages and chewing them up! He attracts a lot of attention when we go out. Most people have never seen a papillon up close and personal. He is beautiful, smart, and very lovable. He likes to sleep on my lap when I'm at the computer and doesn't like me out of his sight. He has now perfected his southern bark since he lives in Alabama. He said to tell you ruffff ruffff. Enjoy, Cynthia Lore (AL, USA)
	11-20-07 Hi Brandi, It's been a while since I've updated you on Austin and he's doing great. He sure is a handful! He's always on the go, loves playing with every dog he meets, wrestling with his big sister Chloe, and he just lives to eat. He isn't afraid to stand up to other dogs (and discipline puppies) and play all day long. He's been in agility classes since he was about a year old, and just celebrated his 2nd birthday last month. He's excellent in agility and LOVES it. I see pictures of his brother Remy on here and he reminds me so much of Austin! I'm glad to see you added new pictures of Candy and Jojo, they are just gorgeous :) His fringe is really coming in, and his tail fluff is touching the ground. He loves getting "pretty" and being brushed and bathed. He gets comments all the time when I take him to dog shows with Colleen, mostly from people asking me if I'm showing him! He's very well behaved in general, I'm so glad he's maturing into such a great little guy. He topped out at 10.5" at the shoulders which is perfect. I've attached a picture from Halloween, he was a "Stalker" as a joke, because when he goes to work with me at Dog Daycare, he just loooves all the girls! -Lauren Bowman (DE, USA)
	11-19-07 Good Morning Brandi, I have just Fed Exed a box to you overnight. I have sent the signed contract, Atlas's new baby blanket, and 2 snuggle toys, which have been laundered and each of the boys slept with last night, as to have our "smell" on them. We hope this way Atlas will have something familiar to bring back home in the car ride. The boys are so excited (Justin age 7, Gavin age 4). Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and we look forward to seeing you and our new boy Atlas on Friday. Julie, Robert, Justin & Gavin (& 2 cats Missy & Boo) (TX, USA)
	11-19-07 Dear Brandi and Mike, Just wanted to share this cute picture of Shmooli. She is doing well and is so much fun. Shmooli really loves to run the house and the family...both human and canine. This week she is welcoming the college daughter back from Colorado and seemed surprised and a little perplexed as to where our daughter had been the last 3 months. The weather is great here in Memphis and she loves to be in the backyard chasing her dog sisters and the falling leaves. When she finally comes in she falls asleep in her favorite spot on the top of the couch, where she can keep an eye on all around her. Happy Thanksgiving!! Judy and David (TN, USA)
	11-8-07 Dear Brandi, Just thought I'd give you a Mitsi Girl update. She is doing absolutely wonderful. She is so precious and knows it's all about her. She loves to ride in the car. She has quiet a vocabulary too. We are so happy with her. She still weighs around 4 pounds and is very healthy. She gets bathed every Wednesday and loves it. She also has clothes and she loves those too. She's our little Princess. Rick works out of our home so she's rarely left alone. She is a very spoiled little girl. Hope you guys are doing well. Take care, Denise & Rick (TX, USA)
	11-6-07 Greetings Brandi and Mike, We bought "Tinkerbell" from you earlier this year and just wanted to let you know what a delightful little dog she is. We renamed her "Jenna" and at 15 months old, she weighs 5.2 pounds, has never ailed a day, and is chock-full of energy and life. She is an obsessive retriever of squeaky balls. She pushes the ball into your lap, or between your feet, and begs you to throw it for her, so she can bring it back...again...and again...and again...and again... She also plays with the ball by herself, dragging a towel across the room until it covers the ball, then pounding the ball through the towel with both front feet, stiff-legged, like a fox does when playing with his prey. She is VERY active and happy. Sweet, gentle, and polite with everyone. Bright, obedient, and well-behaved. We adore this wonderful little dog. Thank you for allowing us to share our lives with her. All the best, Ralph and Michele (OH, USA)
	11-6-07 Dear Brandi and Mike, Last night Titus graduated from Basic Obedience - we did have a test - heeling, sitting, a 2 minute down -stay , and a few other things. All of the other dogs were older , some of them 3 years old - Titus was the STAR !! The instructor even used him as an example a few times. He loves everything and everybody. He goes with me almost everywhere and last Sunday I took him with me to an "Open House" that I held. He is so well behaved that it is not a problem. We will start a new class in a few weeks called Canine Good Citizen. We practices every day and when I say ready, ready, ready Titus knows that it is time to work. He is my Dream Dog! I love Halloween, and as you can see, Titus got right in the spirit of things. Hope you all are well. Warm Regards, Barbara (FL, USA)
	11-2-07 Hi Brandi, He gets prettier every day. David (TX, USA)
	10-28-07 Hi Brandi, Here is the Halloween picture of Chrissie. She is becoming a very, very beautiful dog inside and out. Chuck absolutely adores her. It is so good to be back home. We start Pet Therapy again next week. Best, Kathy (VA, USA)
	10-26-07 Hi Brandi, I so enjoy reading all that you are doing and watching your fabulous Braylor paps. Chrissie spent a month with my sister-in-law in Florida while we explored Italy, Greece and Turkey. She and her husband fell hopelessly in love with her. My sister-in-law, Crystal, says that Chrissie was the magic that changed her husband's opinions about small dogs. I added her latest photo with her favorite toy Quackie as we call it. She does love to sit in the sun. She looks a lot like her mom, but also her dad. She has a the beautiful coat that he has. She has been my constant companion except for September as I job search. We walk each day for a minimum of two miles and soon hope to be up to four miles. Hope that everyone is well. Best, Kathy (VA, USA)
	10-26-07 Hi Brandi& Mike! It’s been a while since I’ve sent a picture of Jazzy and said hi! We had a fun time just this past week at the annual “Papillon Play Date” that is done here in Atlanta! There were 60-70 Papillons at the event Saturday afternoon. She seemed to really enjoy being outside and you can see she is doing well and is as beautiful as ever. She probably had the best coat there (I know I am biased) but many had very short coats unlike Jazzy. She was also the best mannered. I put her in my lap at one point to give her a break in the shade and she just sat there watching the dogs not bothering with my food over her head. Meanwhile, other paps were trying to get to my plate from the other chairs next to me! Ha. She still does all her tricks, I think we are at 18-20. I’ve lost count. We go visit some of my Senior Adults that are homebound and brighten their days with our little floor show. Jazzy is still the best trained and most beautiful Papillon of them all – and I met a lot on Saturday! Thanks again for deciding that she would have a good home with me. She is well loved, well cared for, and very happy! This is a picture of Jazzy on her finished “perch” we had built! She loves sunning and watching the squirrels in the back yard! Take care, Susan (GA, USA)
	10-22-07 Hi Brandi, Striker arrived safe & sound. He was a little overwhelmed at first. Andrea is really good at bringing pups around. We played for a while at Andrea's house. We were able to introduce Striker to Carmen(papillon) and Ambrose(ckcs), his new brother and sister. Everyone got along great. When we arrived home, I took the kennel out of the car, placed it on the ground and opened the door. Striker walked out and it was like he's lived here forever. He's sitting on my lap as I write this. He's a really beautiful dog. I know he's going to do great in agility but more importantly, he will be loved. I've attached some pictures. Thank you so much. Teri (NY, USA)
	10-19-07 Hey B, Here's Trek's new jacket I bought for him. I couldn't resist and he looks just too darn cool. He's my little general in this thing - seriously he looks too cool and he knows it too! Lee Ann (IL, USA)
	10-18-07 Hi Brandi, Happy Birthday wishes to Rigby. It's hard to believe Venus & Rigby are 2 years old today. I went back and looked at their baby puppy pics today......too cute. I took some birthday pix today of Venus playing in the backyard on the practice agility course. My husband got energized last weekend and made a teeter & ramps for the dog walk. Of all the obstacles, the dog walk is her very favorite. She can go up, across, & down it all day long. I get tired & have to say lets quit girl...I need a break. The pix are of Venus practicing on the obstacles, plus one of her kissing her eldest sister, an 11 yr old English Setter who is going blind from glaucoma. Venus seems to understand this, and has become sort of her guide dog and helps her get around the backyard without bumping into things. Braylor's Papillons are amazing and I am so proud to be owned by one. Carolyn (TX, USA)
	10-8-07 Hi Brandi, Here are some pics of my little Remy with a pumpkin for the Fall and for his 2nd b-day! He is doing really well in class (both obedience and agility) and will be starting a new agility class soon. He is just so smart and so fun to train! He can almost weave already (he is still a beginner, hehe, but I am teaching him at home). I did not need to inflict the polo shirt costume on him like last year (it was cute, though!)- - he no longer needs to be 'swaddled' to help him hold a nice stay while I fumble with the camera, so he got to stand like the little man he is!! Now when it gets cold I do have some darling sweaters, however. . . Celeste (LA, USA)
	10-4-07 Hi Brandi, I just wanted to send you the pics of Riyo and his favorite bag. He loves his bag! I like to go to Starbucks and sit outside and he'll just sit in his bag and look around, or take a nap. He is so good about just hanging out in his chair with me. He doesn't leave the bag! I might be biased, but I think he is the cutest puppy ever! Thanks, Maya (TX, USA)
	10-3-07 Hi Brandi, I haven't touched base in awhile... just wanted to let you know Scout is doing great. He turned 3 years old this September. Scout's going to start agility soon and I'm sure he'll take to that well. He's even more beautiful now at 3 years old. His coat is quite long and if he weren't so into playing with his girls, his ear fringe would be lovely too! Hope everything is going well with you guys. Thanks, Colleen (DE, USA)
	10-1-07 Dear Brandi and Mike, Yesterday was the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi and we always have a blessing of the animals at our Church. This year we had a huge turnout with cats, dogs and even a giant tortoise. Titus really enjoyed seeing all the other pets and of course being admired by all the humans. He is the most willing of companions - always eager to go places and see new things. Here is a photo of Titus being blessed. We feel very blessed to have Titus! Tonight we start our group classes in obedience . Will keep you posted. Warm Regards, Barbara (FL, USA)
	9-21-07 Brandi and Mike, I just had to write to tell you that my family is so in LOVE with our little puppy!! We have named her Faith! She is very happy to be part of the family. She is very vivacious, smart, and loving! My toy poodle 'put up' with her for the first couple of weeks....but now, they are great friends! Faith chases Isabella around, which gives them both excercise, and Bella acts like a protective 'mom' to Faith. Thank you for letting us take home this precious little, 'gremlin' girl! We LOVE her!!! (everyone that sees her, loves her!) I'll send ya a couple more pics when she's full grown. Take care! Dena and family (TX, USA)
	9-16-07 Hi Brandi and Mike, These are pictures of Vito taken today. He is well and happy and healthy. He loves everyone and everyone loves him. Hope you are doing well. Lynda (CO, USA)
	9-11-07 Brandi - Thought I'd send a couple pix of Mr Wyatt. Wyatt is the most cuddly, affectionate furry companion I have ever had - and I've had (and have) wonderful animals in my life. Linda (GA, USA)
	9-11-07 Good Morning: I think of you often as we adore and enjoy our little girl Shmooli (Ghost). She is such a joy and is the center of home. She is the boss of our 3 other dogs and any worry about having her around a German Shepherd and the 2 corgis seems silly now. They all play, sleep, eat, bark, and walk together as if they came from the same litter. Shmooli comes to school with me on Fridays and is adored by 863 girls here on campus. Shmooli is the in the yearbook in her own picture and as a member of several organizations...she is very popular. I have included a few pictures. She is very pretty with a lovely coat. The little students think she feels like cotton candy! Thank you for her. David and Judy (TN, USA)
	9-4-07 Hi Brandi & Mike, I hadn't checked in in a while and I thought you'd like to hear how the little guy is doing. I absolutely LOVE him. He's my best buddy! He's never much more than two feet away from me, unless he's getting into trouble! :) I adopted our family dog who joined us about a month ago. They are doing very well together. The big girl is very patient and gentle. She basically snoozes as Riyo runs around her. Riyo has also gone on a couple business trips with me. He spent three days in the office up in Arkansas and is now known as the "mascot." I attached one picture of him showcasing a new product. He's such a good companion and travel buddy. He really goes everywhere with me. He has what I call his "super stealth" dog carrier. He goes to restaurants and no one ever knows he's there. He's so quiet and he just loves going anywhere. I don't know if all Papillons are like this, but he is just a little cuddle bunny! Riyo also still amazes everyone with his athleticism. He's all of 3.5lbs now, but can go for miles. I need to find a new agility class to go to. He learned everything so fast, the class was actually way too slow moving for him. Anyway, I will keep sending updates, although he will look just as cute everytime! Maya (TX, USA)
	9-4-07 Brandi & Mike, We got home without any issues. He sleeps in the car and was not worried about his kennel. When we got home he found out that laps are definately his. He sits on my husband's lap and watches TV and then goes to see my son and watches the computer screen. He slept with my son on Sunday and Monday night. He is running around the house now and is using the dog pads I have on the floor. Funny thing is that a cat that normally stays outside came in the house when it was raining yesterday and he ran up to her and barked! His tail is almost always up now. I put him on the groming table last night and brushed him and he was very well behaved. He is going to be fine! He loves to follow my husband around. I'll send you pictures of him! Beth (TX, USA)
	9-2-07 Hey y'all, We are really enjoying our little boy (Jake) and thank you again for placing him with us. Julia & David Elwood (TX, USA)
	8-29-07 Hi Brandi & Mike, Titus is the Greatest ! He is learning almost too fast for me. He is very eager every morning to start working and barks until I put him through his paces. He has "sit" and "down "perfectly and we are working on duration , he is pretty good at "come" and "drop" - "uppy up" means go up the stairs - he loves that. We have set up a small jump and incline and he is learning to go to the target. We are still doing private lessons once a week, but will start with group lessons on Mon. and Wed. at the end of Sept. I believe he was born to do agility - I am so proud of him. My daughter has left for Boston [she is a freshman in college ] and it has left a bit of an empty spot in my heart. Thank goodness for Titus - he and I are best buddies ! He is completely house trained. I don't think he has gone through that akward stage with his coat yet, at least I have not noticed . His coat seems fluffier than the adult pappilons that I see here in Sarasota - sadly, none of them compare to him - he has the most beautiful face of any that I have seen !!! Hope you are having a great summer. We will keep in touch. Warm Regards, Barbara (FL, USA)
	8-29-07 Hi Brandi, Desi is doing very very good in his agility training and his title would be PinT - Puppy in Training. Desi got to go on the boat today with 2 other Papillons, Joule and Astro. We go to a private beach near my Mother's house that is only assesible by boat and the dogs have such a good time. This is the first time Desi went and he was swimming after 10 minutes. I've attached some photos taken today. Jill (NY, USA)
	8-24-07 Hi again B, Trek brought home his first jumpers Q today in AKC agility. In true Trekker style, he stole the show in Jumpers. He had the crowd awed - and me too. I came off the course to people going - OMG! He's amazing! Could he be faster!!! What a pup! All I could say was, "I know! Isn't he something!!!" Then the timer wings past to tell me his time - not a normal occurance mind you. Our little Braylor's darling ran a 100 yard Jumpers with Weaves course in 20.90 seconds! Standard Course time was 40! Needless to say - it was a 1st placement right! Lee Ann (IL, USA)
	8-18-07 Hi B, Trekker was awesome again at the CPE trail in Cornell, IL - yes, he out Q'd the Border Collie yet again!!!!!!!!!! He earned 4 of 6 required legs in Level 3 Standard and Q'd in Level 5 Fullhouse - he was on fire until the POURING POURING POURING RAIN STORM. It was an absolute laugh riot. He was all geared up to go until the 4th obstacle and the skies really just opened - it was like a full blown water faucet opened. The rain soaked him so bad you couldn't see fringe on his ears - you could see pink skin....and he ducked into a tunnel, turned and looked back at me and barked - "Screw that! I've got room in here for ya, ma - but that's just nutz!" I kid you not he moved over to the side of the tunnel and gave me a look like his next move was going to be to pat the spot he just made for me next to him in the tunnel. We just rolled! What a dog! Lee Ann (IL, USA)
	8-9-07 Hi Brandi, We went on a camping trip in Colorado and took Robby with us. You should have seen him posing at every rock to have his picture taken. "Look at me! I'm so cute!" Nita (TX, USA)
	7-31-07 Hi Brandi, It's been a while since writing. I wanted to let you know that our sweet adorable Brandee Corina is doing really well. She has completed puppy kindergarten and will soon begin working on her Canine Good Citizen Certification. She has also been spayed - so we will be sending you the required paperwork so that we can get her registration. We will soon be looking for a brother or sisiter for our little darling and of course want to work with you. Do you recommend having two girl dogs over having a boy/girl combination? We have a friend who is also interested in a tiny girl as well - so please keep us in mind. Brandee is currently at 4.4lbs....not sure that she will get to be much bigger....but bigger is not always best...I have never seen a more beautiful dog as our sweetheart. I have FINALLY figured out some important camera technics and can send you some of the lastest pics of our little girl. Her favorite past time is currently a nice long game of frisbee - I honestly think she could play this game all day long! Anyway - I think you will agree - she is certainly a beauty! BTW - will you be at the Houston Dog Show next week? We would love to meet you in person and see some of your beauties! Best Regards, Claudia Claudia (TX, USA)
	7-25-07 Brandi and Mike, It is hard to believe that we ever lived without Titus - he has endeared himself to everyone ! I have been keeping him in the kitchen when we are not home, I take him out frequently and he has his litter box in the kitchen. Attached a few pictures. I am starting private obedience classes on Monday with a lady who trains papillons in Agility. We will both learn together. Thanks for everything!! Barbara (FL, USA)
	7-24-07 Hello Brandi, It’s been a while, but we think of you so often. I know all your paps are angels, but I had to send this pix I caught of Roofuss when she was playing in the back yard—something heavenly about how the sunlight fell on her. She continues to be an absolute JOY! Chris (PA, USA)
	7-20-07 Hi Brandi, Bella playing on the bed with her favorite toy! Greta (VA, USA)
	7-11-07 Hi Brandi, Mitsi is just awesome. She's precious and knows how much we love her. When we're home everything is centered around her. She's adorable. We went to the vet week before last for her shots and check-up. She's doing great. Rick works out of our home so he's with her all day. The day we got her from you we went straight to Pet's Mart and got her a little round bed. It sits to the left of Rick's recliner in his office. That is her safe haven. I also bought a pink blanket so during the day the blanket stays in her bed and then at night when we go to bed I spread it out between us and she lays on it. She knows the word 'pink blankie'. She's spoiled rotten to say the least. I can't get over how sweet her little disposition is. Everyday when I come home she and I go out to the mailbox to get the mail. She loves running in the front yard and doing a figure eight around the two trees. She doesn't run off and minds me well. I'm so thankful we found her and please don't worry about her - she has a wonderful loving home. Oh, and the potty training was very easy - no problem in that area. :) Take care and we'll send you an updated photo soon. Denise (TX, USA)
	7-11-07 Brandi & Mike, Hello! I purchased a puppy from you on 9/9/06 named Little John, but my husband and I call him Radar, or Ray for short. He is now a healthy 7.8 lbs, and has been a wonderful addition to our family. (Attached is a picture of him with one of our 5 cats. Boy does he love cats!) Angela (TX, USA)
	7-10-07 Hi Brandi, I will be putting an envelope in the mail to you with 2 CD's of some really nice agility photos of Dallas and some portrait photos of Desi and Dallas. Dallas is now known as Braylor's Urban Legend - NF, NA, NAJ, OA, OAJ, AX, AXJ. Desi's training is coming along so well. He is such an enthusiastic student and learns so quickly. I can't stop kissing him. Jill (NY, USA)
	6-29-07 Hi Brandi & Mike, I wanted to share the newest picture of Louie. He is all grown up. Since all our kids have left for College, he is the king of the house. He is such a cute little guy. We love him lots! He is very active and runs around all day. He likes to eat and sometimes I wonder where he puts it all. Even after being fixed he is slim and trim. He weights only 4.5 pounds and the vet says that’s fine for him. Thanks again for sending him to us. Sincerely, Elke (MD, USA)
	6-20-07 Brandi, I thought you might like to see some pictures. Tika is getting her big girl coat now and is growing into a beautiful little girl. EVERYONE who sees her wants to pet her and I get lots of questions. We are a BIG hit at the pet stores. She has graduated from puppy class and is currently attending basic obedience. She is learning quickly and seems to enjoy the classes, especially the limited amount of agility included in each class. She got the weave poles the first time and the tunnel didn't stop her at all. I'll keep you updated on her doings. Will you be attending a show near Belton anytime soon? If so, I'll bring her to see you. Pamela (TX, USA)
	6-18-07 Hi Brandi, Things happen quickly around here and Dallas now has an AXJ (Excellent A Jumper) agility title, which he earned this last weekend in Massachsetts and an AX (Excellent A Standard) which he earned this weekend in New Jersey. He is now in the highest AKC class which is Excellent B for both Jumper and Standard. Have a Great Day, Jill (NY, USA)
	6-14-07 Hi Brandi, Chrissie passed her Pet Therapy test with flying colors last night. We now will go for three training periods beginning within three weeks. Then, we will meet with the site handler for a final okay, do a group visit, and then solo or group visits whichever we prefer. Attached are pics of Chrissie with her Fairfax Pets on Wheels bandana. We even have a photo id badge and laggard. All the best, Kathy (VA, USA)
	6-11-07 Hi Brandi, Hope you had a good weekend. Ours was soooooooooo hot and humid. Our agility class is going great. There are 5 large breed dogs, a fox terrier and Venus in the class. She's doing so well that some class participants told me she shouldn't be in this intro class, but intermediate. I didn't bother to explain she hasn't had any formal agility training. Our instructor loves Venus (she has small dogs) and told them that she would use her as an example to show how to do the obstacles. I was sort of embarrassed, but then reminded myself we are here for fun, fun, fun. Venus is laying on my husband's lap sleeping very contently while he watches the Spurs play. He is loving it. More later, Carolyn (TX, USA)
	6-11-07 Hi Brandi, Wyatt is adjusting well to Georgia, and his new friend, Walter Kitty (who chases him until they both drop!!). I am sending new pix for the testimonial page - one in his Strut Your Mutt "cape" bandana - a benefit for the local humane society. He had his first ocean experience when we (and Winnie - the Boston) went to Tybee Island. He really enjoyed it, and he had a nice sink bath afterwards. Take care, Linda (GA, USA)
	6-8-07 Hi Brandi, Here's our little Spudly, AKA Spuddy Buddy! Jill (AL, USA)
	6-4-07 Hi Brandi, It has been a while since Chrissie has updated you on herself and her family. My hair is growing in very well. My tail is really long and flowing. On Saturday, I entered my first K-9 2K for the 2007 Herndon Festival. The profits benefited Hope Veterinary Research. I am attaching a picture with my bandana. I need to talk to the organizers about making some of these fit us little gals better. Mom folded it over and over, so that I could wear it. The other news about me is that we are going to be tested for temperament (both Mom and me) to see if we can start training to become part of the pet therapy program called Fairfax Pets on Wheels. It is a nonprofit and both Mom and I think we would be able to help a lot of people. Wish us luck. guy. Chrissie and Kathy PS. Dad says, "Hi!" He is a great guy! (VA, USA)
	6-4-07 Hi Brandi, This photo is on the back wall of our new house. Frankie just has to see out and there was a pretty stiff breeze that day. I'm sure you hear this a lot, but everywhere we go people just fall in love with the dogs. Stay in touch! Doug (NM, USA)
	5-29-07 Hi Brandi, Did you all get rained out last week? Yesterday the sun came out so I was finally able to take some new action shots of Venus. After bathing all the mud off I got her to sit still just long enough to pose for some obedience shots. Hope the pic are of a high enough quality. Let me know and I can resend in another format. Happy summer to you, Mike & all your Braylor kids. Carolyn (TX, USA)
	5-23-07 Hi Brandi, Frankie on my riding jacket. He is doing great! Same spunky furball! Doug (NM, USA)
	5-22-07 Hi Brandi, I just wanted to give you an update on Rocket, now called Riyo. I have found that he is quite the athlete! I’m telling you, if dogs laugh, he was laughing at me today trying to run. I was huffing and puffing, needing breaks, and he was jumping up and down…LAUGHING I tell you, and egging me on for a sprint…which he absolutely out-did me on. He has definitely become my best buddy. He works very hard with me, as you saw, and he goes everywhere. He jumps into his carry bag and is always ready to go. He’s a little shy sometimes, but I think that’ll work itself out. His stitches came out just fine and he’s eating really well. Anyway, I attached a couple of pics my dad took when he visited. Riyo was sitting in his own chair at the dinner table, very politely. Thanks for a beautiful puppy! Maya (TX, USA)
	5-18-07 Hi Brandi, Desi is doing great!! I can't stop kissing him but I was able to long enough to introduce him to the seesaw and the dogwalk. As with all pups he was unsure at first but in the traditional Braylor Papillon style he was running from one end to the other by the third try with lots of rewards at the other end. That's what I love about your pups..................they get over their fears so quickly. Like in 5 minutes. I am attaching some photos of Dallas and Desi. Jill (NY, USA)
	5-14-07 Hi Brandi, Finally I have a few minutes to list my pretty boy's titles. He earned a: Novice Agility NA Novice Agility Jumper NJ Open Agility OA Open Agility Jumper OAJ and is now working on his Excellent titles and will soon be earning points towards his MACH (the highest agility title given by the AKC). He only needs one more qualifiying score in Excellent Jumper for that title. These titles are all AKC. Dallas earned all these titles in just a few short months of trials and we didn't even have a trial every weekend. I have some really incredible pictures that I will send you on a CD as soon as I receive them. Will be a few weeks. I will also send you a link to all the photo websites that he is on. Jill (NY, USA)
	5-12-07 Brandi, Rocket hard at work at the office! Maya (TX, USA)
	5-6-07 Brandi, I have attached a couple more pics of Meesha and her favorite toy. I think she is trying out for a new job at the front of Santa's sleigh. We are having such fun with her. I hope maybe to come to a show that you are at. I would like for you to see her. Please let me know where you are showing. Thank yo
