Dream Maker's Puppies Happy Fur-Family Testimonies

Morning Susan: Jan. 16, 2011
Rollo, now Clancy, is absolutely the joy of my life!!! I am just crazy about that little guy!!! He continues to get more and more
handsome with the passing of each and every day. He has been groomed several times so far, always a perfect gentleman, but is fast
losing the dark fur and becoming a white blonde!!! He enjoys jumping up into my recliner, after I vacant, but, of course, he is
more than willing to share with me as long as I allow him to kiss my face and ears!!!He plays ball and fetch, but also just loves to curl
up while I read or watch a football game. With all the stress in my life at this moment, what with my parents, etc., etc.,he is just a lot of
comfort.
Warm regards,
Larry.
Hi! Here is a new pic. Ella is doing great! She and Emerson love each other and play so well with each other. She has just fit in so well at
my house. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.

Thought you would like to see Nitro with Gabby and Santa. He is a good boy and a joy for our family. Wishing you and yours a Blessed
Christmas and Happy New Year.
Zorro has been such a joy ! We are very happy with him. We're getting a routine down and no accidents. I'm amazed at how well he is
doing. Ya'll are doing a great job with your pups. Thanks so much. We've got many pictures to share of him in his new home. I'll send
you some this weekend. Have a Merry Christmas !! Dec. 22, 2010
She's doing great! She is so full of personality. We went to the vet yesterday and he said everything was good. She does well going
outside to potty and she sleeps all night. She and Emerson get along well. I'll send some pics of us this weekend.

We have had Buckley (Tanner) for two weeks. In that time he has had mistakes in my house exactly 3 times. Tonight he actually went to
the door, rang the bell and then went out and did his business. He is so very smart. After he goes out he gets a treat and he already knows
the command "sit". Had someone been working with him before I took him? Our family is so in love with him, what a great dog. thought
you would like to know.

Hi Susan & John, Dec. 5, 2010
Just wanted to share with you some photos of Sasha’s 1st Birthday Party! She has been a blessing to my family. Thank you once again~
Happy Holidays!
Love, The Cala Family
They are settling in wonderfully. Right now they are playing rough with each other. They have learned to do the stairs already in and out
and have not had one accident in the house. They love their new yard, every time we take them out the immediately do their business.
The love everybody, my kids will be coming over off and on during the rest of the week. They are also snugglebugs, curl up, he dances
around to be picked up. They are eating, seem to like the food that I buy my adult, Tast of the Wild, which I am sure won't harm them, all
venison and veggies, no corn.
They are so smart, already know their names and come when they are called. We are thrilled with them, will get some pictures and
forward to you. Dec. 1, 2010
He is the sweetest little boy! I told the boys we should have named him Teddy, he is like a little teddy bear. He still loves to go get up on
that big rock though!He is thoroughly spoiled rotten. I will send more pics as he grows. And boy does he have hair!

We got home a short time ago, what a long day!!!! the pups were wonderful, poor things didn't let out a peep for all those hours. Maggie
ate and had water before, Kodiak wouldn't eat or drink until we got to Chicago, then ate and drank. They are getting used to their new
home, exploring and such. She is much braver than him, both of them are sooo sweeet you are right about that.
Thanks for all your help and, of course the pups, and I will keep you posted and get some pics for you.

Hello, Nov. 30, 2010
We purchased "Jill" from you in Feb. '09. She now goes by the name Jazmine. We wanted to take the time to thank you for such a wonderful addition
to our family. Jazmine is by far the best puppy we have owned and we love her so much! Here are a few updated pictures of her. As you can see we
have continued to spoil her
She is doing great! We decided to name her Lilybelle and we call her Belle (like from Beauty and the Beast). I took her to the vet on
Friday and he said she looked good. She is so sweet and such a lap dog! The kids love playing with her. We take her in the backyard
alot to play and she is already playing fetch with us. She likes to chase after the kids.
We are not yet letting her have the run of the house when she is inside. We hold her on our laps and love on her quite a bit and then we
keep her in her crate when we're busy. She loves to sit in the kids lap and watch TV. She is so calm. She just sits there and doesn't try to
get up and run. And she loves to pass out with me on the couch after the kids go to bed (she likes me best!). She has been very good at
night. She only wimpered a few times the first couple of nights in her crate. The vet told us to just ignore it and she stops pretty quickly.
And last night, she didn't make a peep. I'll send you some pictures once we get them downloaded.
I was wondering you could send me what type of grooming shears & blades I would need to get for her? I couldn't remember exactly
what blade you said to get. Thanks so much!
Have a great week! Oct. 24, 2010

Hi Susan, we just got home a few minutes ago. We are thinking on naming him Bandit, but I told the boys we need to have him home
for a day or two before we decide on a name. Let his little personality come out.
I did not tell you, it has been so hard, but we just lost a mini schnauzer. When I saw Patches, I wanted to cry. When I first called you
and talked about Patches, just looking at his pictures had me chocked up. Our boy was blue merle like Patches. My youngest son,
Zachary found Patches and asked if we could get him.
Patches will help the boys heal. Our little dog, Titan was such a part of our family. We took him everywhere we went. He was such a
joy to have and he was our first mini schnauzer.
My youngest son took it the hardest, as young kids do. I knew the best thing would be to find another puppy soon.
I really appreciate you selling Patches to us. He will be greatly loved. And I will send pictures often, I promise.
He is checking out his new home right now, playing with Titan's old toys. He is such a sweet, sweet boy! Oct. 22, 2010
Hi - I just wanted to let you know that Sasha (aka Shasta) is doing great! I’m not exactly sure how Emma came up with Sasha, but she
just started calling her that & wanted it to be her new name. We are all really enjoying having her as part of our family! I hate to
admit that I was very anxious to get out of church yesterday (stopped for carry-out instead of our usual Sunday lunch) to get back to
her. She seems to be adjusting well – eating good anyway – but we can tell she misses the other puppies! She’s had several walks, a
bath yesterday afternoon & lots of play time with Emma. We’ll take her to the vet this afternoon for her well puppy check. What type
of treats is she used to, if any? I wanted to stick with her usual food/treats for at least a few weeks so that won’t be another adjustment
for her. So far, we don’t have any treats, but I think they would be helpful with the potty training (she’s doing great with that also!)
The first night she slept on Emma’s bed with Emma & I but last night she slept in the crate. That is one thing that Steve & I are kind of
debating b/c I want her to sleep with Emma but he thinks it would be better for her to be in her crate b/c he’s worried about Emma
rolling over on her or kicking her & hurting her. I just don’t like for her to be in the crate during the day while we are at work & at
night also. Everyone else seems to think the crate is best so we’ll probably end up there. She does seem to like the crate fine & even
went in there on her own a couple times yesterday afternoon – maybe she needed a break from Emma! Also, how much is “normal”
from them to sleep at this age? She seems to sleep a lot! Just wanted to give you an update & I’ll also e-mail you another pics from my
phone in a few minutes…. Oct. 11, 2010
Hi there… We have been great~ enjoying the hot summer! How is everything with you guys? Aug. 8, 2010
Sasha is doing fantastic. She is currently enrolled at doggie school and is learning commands & tricks. Sasha is very attached to me…
she follows me anywhere I go and hates it when I’m out of site. She loves to cuddle at all hours of the day and really enjoys playing in
the grass. She truly was a blessing to my family. We cherish and adore her and have enjoyed every second of her company. Attached
are some photos I snapped of her today so you can see she is still beautiful. She’s weighing 3.5 pounds and her character is precious!
Everyone that meets her, wants to keep her =)I can’t thank you enough for sending us such a precious angel.
Have a great week and I’ll stay in touch.

Here are a couple of pictures of Archie, known to you as Cyrus. He has been an awesome addition to our family. He is a very good
boy although as with most toddlers, he does have his "moments".He settled into his new family right from the moment he came home.
He is truly a pleasure and is loved, as well a spoiled , abundantly. Thanks Jeff and Lena Stinson Aug. 6, 2010
Hi Susan, the puppy is doing so well. We named him Marx and call him "Marxie." He is doing extremely well with his potty training. I
am pleasantly surprised. While he is pretty mellow for the most part, he does his share of wrestling with his sister, Saydie Sunshine and
her friends. We adore him!!
Thank you Susan! Aug. 3, 2010
~Ginger Jimenez
He is awesome. Great dog and he adores both kids. We love him. Everyone comments on how handsome and good natured he is. We
are so glad to have him.

Hi Susan, Aug. 3, 2010
Our Miss Palin is absolutely precious---but has an awful case of the 'puppies'!!!! Whenever she does something 'bad' my response to
Mark is ..."but Daddy, she didn't mean to!"
While I am about ready for this 'phase' to be over, we would not trade her for the world!!!! She is a sensitive soul, and I don't think
she thinks that anything she does is anything less than wonderful!
Thanks for 'birthing' our baby---she is one of a kind and we love her dearly!
Keep in touch!
Mark, Laurie, and Miss Palin!!!!

Hi Susan!!! How are you!!! I'm so sorry...I haven't sent you pics. Shalom is great...other than 6 weeks ago, she jumped off the
couch, landed wrong and broke 4 bones in her paw :( I'm not sure who was more devastated. She is right now at the doctor, getting
her x ray to find out if we can take off the splint. I was so sad because these first 6 weeks of puppyhood hasn't been for her
what we would have liked. And she was only allowed to be down when she went to the bathroom because they didn't want her
running on it. But THAT's NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE! She is after all a puppy! So I kept asking...how exactly do I stop that...but
they had no answers for me. Thus she has learned to go to the bathroom on a leash...so as not to run and keep on running...but
somewhat controlled. Other than that, she gets held, but sometimes she just seems like she's going to jump out of her skin because
she's just got so much energy to burn. We've been getting her splint changed every week, because she just knaws at it and then she
gets down to the actual splint. The vet and everyone there love her. She's all up to date on her shots and today, if all goes well at the
vet (in Jesus Name)...she will be able to have her first bath...so she's lookin a little frazzled de frizzled. Lots of holding brings oil, and
then you can't let her little cast/splint get wet. Oh my Susan...it's been a bit of a challenge. The day it happened my 24 year old
daughter was cutting the hair of a friend of mine, and this friend has 3 dogs, 2 cats, bird, hamster...so she is very used to
animals...loves them. Well I was gone because I had had a breast lump scare...so they had me in having an emergent ultrasound and
mammogram so make sure it was benign. So while I was at the doctor, I got a hysterical call from home that Shalom had jumped off
the couch and landed wrong and they were taking her to the vet that's only 2 miles up the road.Well my reports were all
good...Shalom's however...not so much!So I would have probably gotten a picture to you sooner...but she's been looking a bit
homeless and wounded and thought...you would wonder...what is going on!If you would please pray however...I am still awaiting
results. They wanted me to bring her this morning and let them spend some time with her with x rays and they were also going to
groom her a little bit...and I'm waiting for them to call me....aughhhhhh! How are you doing?She is awesome Susan...she fits in well.
I teach a Bible Study on Monday nights to women and Shalom came with me last night. I got the brag on God with how Shalom was
brought into our lives. She has her princess pillow and her princess blanket and she is awesome!

Dear Susan and John:
Sarah, Abraham and I stopped by to pick up Cheddar the first week of April. I just wanted to drop you an e-mail and let you know
we loooooove Cheddar and it is difficult to describe what a wonderful addition he has been to our family. He is now about 10
pounds and very handsome. We get many compliments on him. He has been groomed twice and has washed more times than any
dog I have ever known. He is very smart and well behaved for the most part, and he has a nice personality.
My wife has never had a dog before and had was very apprehensive about Cheddar’s arrival- but it was love at first site and
Ghadeer enjoys him at least as much is not more than the rest of us.
Thanks again!
Anthony Masaryk
He is doing very well. It took a couple of days for him to get over the “jet lag”. He is eating well and is doing pretty well with his
crate training.
We named him Rocky. I am attaching a picture of Rocky with our youngest son Kyle and his daughter Addison. Rocky is a pretty
big hit around here. The weather has been warm and he has gotten his first of many boat rides. He wasn’t exactly impressed as he
just looked for the shade and took a nap. May 26, 2010
Hello Susan, I hope all is well with you. I had promised to send you updates on Tink as well as pictures. I will attach a couple but I
will also follow up with an album that you can access online from Kodakgallery.com.
Tink's new name is Saydie Sunshine, "Saydie" for short. I added the 'Sunshine' part because she has made every day brighter than it
would have been otherwise. The week prior to obtaining Saydie, I had to put my Schnauzer, Sophie to sleep. So while I miss Sophie
tremendously, Saydie has made this time easier.
She is the funniest puppy ever! I look at her and it makes me laugh. She is the clown of the family. My parents, siblings, nieces,
nephews and friends all love her. The neighborhood quickly learned about her and were all eager to meet her. You gave her to me
with great social skills and I have been keeping them up by taking her to the dog park almost everyday. I think that because she
lives with Rebecca, our German Shepherd, she is quite comfortable with big dogs. That is not to mention the two English Mastiffs
that my father has at his house. However during the week I take Saydie to the dog park for little dogs. She has a ton of energy and
enjoys her wrestling matches with a couple of friends at the park. Saydie plays hard and sleeps hard. I also need to add that we
have a dog walker who comes for Rebecca and Saydie Mondays through Fridays and she is so in love with Saydie.
Tomorrow Saydie and I will begin our puppy classes at Petco near our house. I'd like to soon get her involved in agility courses.
We'll soon be taking professional photos together as well. Can you tell that she is dearly loved? We are so crazy about her. So I
want to assure you that she is in a good home and she is loved everywhere she goes.
She has lit up my life and added a great energy to our home. I can't tell you enough how much I love her. Thank you, thank you so
much for her!! I will continue to keep you updated on her progress.
Cordially,
Ginger Jimenez June 3, 2009

I saw that you had asked for your owners to send periodic updates on your puppies so here you go. Our precious little Archie, known
to you as Cryus is doing great and is an awesome addition to our family. He has a great personality and is loved by all he encounters.
We are so glad that we chose Dream Makers for our first Schnauzer. I have attached a couple of pictures for you. Speaking of
pictures, since Archie will be one next month, we were wondering if you had any pictures of him, ( Cyrus) as a baby, in your archives.
We would really like to add some of his baby pictures to his "scrapbook". Thank you very much and we will keep you posted on
Archie periodically through the years. Thanks again, Jeff and Lena Stinson Feb. 20, 2011
Thank you so much for the pictures.He was( and still is) soooooooo precious !!! . Do you know where his brother Micro and sister
Miley found their new homes? Just curious. Thanks again.

Buckley went on his first kayak trip and it was a blast. He was like a 4 yr old on Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time, especially
when we got within 5 feet of the pelicans. He ducked in my lap as they flew away. Money well spent on his life jacket as he fell off the
boat twice.
Mar. 20, 2011
We are so happy with our new puppy. We named him Teddy Jack Wells. He has not used the rest room in the house yet. We are very
happy to have our new blessing. Thanks so much ...
Susan and John, Apr. 27, 2011
Just wanted to let you know the Jake (aka Dodger) is doing great it took him a day or two to get use to our older dog Chloe but now
they are fast friends.We took him to our local vet and she said he is one of the healthiest puppies she has seen in a long time.The only
thing she found is that his man parts are not dropping like they should so it’s a good thing that we are getting him neutered. He is such
a well socialized and happy puppy he enjoys running in and out of the house playing all day long.He is really great about going outside
and has not yet had an accident in the house.It was so cute when he found his reflection in the glass on the fireplace he just barked and
barked at himself.He likes to drag his blanket, pillow and all his toys into the middle of the living room floor and then sleep on top of
the pile.I never thought that I could find a schnauzer that could ever steal my heart like my first schnauzer did but Jake has.I will
forever be a schnauzer person once you have one it’s just not enough.I have attached a few photos of him.
Thanks for the great addition to our family.

Lucy saw her Dr. Thursday - she weighed 2lbs and 2 oz. Growing well. Dr. very pleased with her - says she feels more sturdy now,
healthy and happy. Said we are doing well with progress of Lucy and "the boys" being together in short spans, 1 on 1 and with
extreme supervision. They eat at same time morning and night, but she is the only one that eats at lunch. She still sleeps with me
almost every night- and of course is so precious and loveable (well most of the time) she does have a bit of a temper and boy when she
wants to bite fingers now - it is painful - but we are working on it - she has lots of toys to distract with and encourage biting those
instead of skin. ha
Thank you so much!
Have a BEAUTIful Day,

We just wanted to reach out to you and let you know how much we love our Blue Boy and send you a few pictures of him. He is so
smart and has such a wonderful personality! You can easily tell that he came from a breeder who provided constant love and caring to
him by how loving, affectionate and well rounded he is. We hope you and your family are doing well and that you have a wonderful
Memorial Weekend!
All our best,

I just wanted to give you an update from yesterday's vet appointment. The doctor said Maddie looked great and is doing very well.
He said he heard a puppy murmur in her heart but that was common in small puppies and should disappear in the next few months
and that he will follow up on it at each visit. I'm not concerned at this point.
Maddie has adjusted wonderfully to her new home. She is eating and going out to do her business. I am surprised at how easy it has
been to train her so far (knock on wood). I'm sure that has to do with you. She is such a good puppy and we look forward to many
years to come with her. We may have to come back at some point and get her a playmate other than my kids. That may be sooner
than later. When Brogen goes off to the college next year (fall 2012) and takes Maddie with her I will have to get another puppy for
my little ones. But I'm taking it one day at a time for now. My son keeps going around saying that he wants his own "Maddie". It's
so cute.
Thank you so much for your kindness. It was very nice meeting you and your family the other day. I look forward to seeing your
new puppies on your website. I will continue to keep you updated on Maddie and send pictures.
Sincerely,
Stacie Wilson

Hi Susan and family,
We feel so very blessed with Ruger. Thank you for all that you do! Raising such wonderful puppies takes a lot of love and attention.
Ruger is a dream for our family. He and Paul play non-stop! You said that he was crate trained, but I think he is already house trained!
We will recommend Dream Maker whenever we can.
Best wishes for a great rest of the year! We will send Christmas pictures.
The Stultz family
Susan: 8/27/11
What a beautiful doll you sent us!!We have had many, many compliments on her.
She, at 13 weeks plus one day, is able to sleep all most the “ full night” , defined as the time to sleep , not the length of time that we
might have darkness.
Even though we have a daylight system (currently getting shorter) that changes from 3 minutes in length, to almost 15 minutes in
length per day. When she joined us the day light was almost 19 hours out of every 24 hours. Today we are near 14 hours of light, by
Dec. 21st, we will be down to less than 5 hours of light.
The other thing is she likes to chase flying bugs, leaves or air / wind floating seeds, and flying small birds. Also she loves to chase her
toys when we throw them in the back yard. She is becoming aware that the world is larger than the small space enclosed by house or
fence, and she finally has a good bark, not a squeech yapping. Now she uses the bark at noise from the other side of the fence.
Mildred has her setting and holding a sitting position when food is set down on her feeding pad. She will stay still until the word “go”
MOST OF THE TIME.
She has a better than 90% average for NOT doing a job in the house. She still uses the door hanging strap of bells, as a play thing,
instead of using it for “ Let me out to go potty” alarm. But she does go # 1 quickly when we get to her part of the yard. #2 takes
MUCH MUCH longer and she is very easily distracted from that job. She is trying to get additional parts of the yard for that duty.
I have her at about 40% for staying down –meaning all four feet kept on the floor, when a none family member comes in.
She will sound the Alarm ( by barking or squeeching) when an out side door is opened by any-body, even the family, about 15% of the
time.Learning that will take time –We know.
We have taken her to fishing streams, where moose and bear do roam. But so far she has not met up with either moose or bear. Or
some of the other wild Alaskan animals. Maybe over the next couple of weekends, depending on what we do, Fishing or camping.
Moose are in their rutting season now and will usally run from barking dogs, but some moose will stand their ground. Bear have been
eating every thing and any thing they can to put fat on, to get ready for the seven month hibernation during the winter. So if they are
full, they will sometimes run from a baring dog. If they are still hungry--- His future meal has to do the running.
She has had all of her shots –except one required for boarding. She has also had a very nice hair cut, following you pattern.
She has grown ----estimate about 17 inches long, overn nine inces high, estimate 5 or 6 pounds in weight. Pictures have been taken –
We need to learn how to transfer from our camera to the computer to send to you.
Thank you & we will send more updates.
Sam & Mildred Richards.

Her name is Willow. My wife loves her. She is so spoiled she has" Juicy" dog bowls. And more toys then most kids. The vet checked
her out and said she was perfectly healthy.
Thanks,Kevin
Hi Susan 12/5/11
I took Toby for his second injection and the vet said he looks great and will probably be free to roam the house by next week!!! We are
so excited, this little puppy is so delightful. He has the sweetest disposition. He has changed so much you wouldn't even recognize him
from the day we picked him up. He is a total lap dog he loves to snuggle up with me and sleep for hours. Thank you for rescuing him and
allowing us the chance to adopt a wonderful new family member. I won't keep bothering you anymore just wanted to update you on his
health and let you know he is doing great. If we ever want to buy another toy schnauzer we will get one from you!
