“Karen:

At long last, I am sending you... some pictures of him over the past six months. He is an absolutely wonderful dog.

Kona - Sire~Petaga

“Karen,

I wanted to send you an update on the two dogs we got from you.

Dewey a Siberian Indian Dog, (Fantastic Fred & Boo Berry born 3-7-07 ) is 9 months old and weighs about 60-65 pounds. He is very confident and friendly. He swam out to a canoe to say hi to some people he had not met before then swam back. Dewey is a pure athlete . He can run for miles and not get tired. You should see him in the woods. He loves to go hiking where he can run, jump logs and explore. He runs back at full speed when you call him. His eyes are beautiful. They are light brown with a dark brown ring around the outside.

Kona, a NAID, (Petaga & Odawa born 6-10-07 ) is now 6 months old today and weighs well over 80 pounds. "Koney" is a lover just like his daddy. He is very calm and easy to train. Koney is growing so fast. His fur got a lot darker and looks more like Dewey. It's easy to tell them apart by their faces. Dewey has the middle finger and Kona has the heart shape. Kona is so much larger now. His feet are twice as big and his body is much thicker. Kona is not as outgoing as Dewey. He will give you a big "WOOF" if he does not know you and you're in his backyard. He will give you lots of kisses once he gets to know you.

These guys are awesome. They are great with small children, cats and other dogs. The Dew and Koney Dog are very sweet. The only thing to worry about is a fierce face licking. We had a small kid stop by during Halloween and the dogs almost licked off all of his make up. They listen really well and walk off leash in the woods. Dewey likes to explore but he comes back when called. Kona likes to stay near me on the trail. They love the water. I will cross the stream on logs that have fallen and the dogs will swim across often playing in the water with each other.

The pictures with their life jackets on are from Labor Day back when Dewey was still bigger then Kona. They did great on the canoe trip and we did not flip over. Koney curled up on Ruth's lap that night by the campfire. The newer pictures are from around Thanksgiving. The one on Thanksgiving morning is in the stream with Dewey looking at the ducks.

Both dogs get a lot of attention and we have told everyone to check out your website.  Anyone that is allergic to dogs but always wanted one should contact you.  Dewey has really thick fur.  I call him my wooly dog.  Kona is silky.  Neither dog sheds except for their puppy fur and I expect their winter coats in the spring.  I brush out their burs when we get back from hiking.  I probably brush out more of my own hair then I ever do from both dogs combined.  I do not have any problems with my allergies or asthema. I also like how quiet they are. They do not bark often and when they do it is for a reason. These guys have given us so much happiness. Thank you for raising the best dogs.

Kevin & Ruth Jonatzke”

“Karen,

Hope all is well at Majestic View. We are doing great. The dogs we got from you are awesome. They are very well behaved and go everywhere with us. I take them to work with me everyday. Dewey (Siberian Indian Dog) is super sweet and extremely outgoing. He will go up to anyone to say hi. Kona (NAID) is more reserved until he gets to know you. He is just as sweet and gentle as Dewey just a little bit more shy. Koney is our cuddle dog and jumps in bed with us in the morning. 

We got everyone to pose today; Ruth is holding Bailey the cat, Twink the Cockatiel is on my shoulder, Dewey and Kona on each side of us. I like the pictures in the jeep. Koney's head is closer then it appears. You can see how much bigger Kona is compared to Dewey and he is not small at 70 pounds. Kona was 100 pounds at 10 months old when the vet weighed him on neutering day. He is 18 months old now. I have not weighed him recently but he looks like he weighs at least 120 pounds. 

Sweet Dew is fearless. He is a pretty good match for Koney. Dewey often starts the wrestling and will get the best of Kona until he gets him by the collar. In the end Kona just over powers him and sits on him. Poor little Dew. Dewey has non stop energy. We can hike for 10 to 20 miles or go for a fast 5 to 10 mile skate and he still runs around when we get home. Kona can run just as fast he might even be a little faster but does not even come close to Dewey's endurance. Kona relaxes when we get home. Dewey is confident, nimble, has great balance, and is a bit of a show off. Dew is cool. He walks across logs over creeks or ditches and makes it look smooth and graceful. Kona is strong and looks out for us. He sleeps between the door and where we sleep. You feel more secure with Koney around. They are very quiet unless there is a reason. We do howl and its a lot of fun. 

We love these dogs. Together we have a very happy home. The best bonus of all is that I'm not having any problems with my asthma. Thank you for raising hypo allergenic dogs so having Dewey and Kona is possible for me with my severe dog allergy. 

Happy Holidays. 

Kevin Jonatzke”

“Karen, 

I revised my company website:

 There is a picture with me wearing a company shirt with Dewey and Kona on each side of me on the About Us page. 

I take Dewey and Kona to work everyday. They go on deliveries, visit with customers and fellow employees,  and have access to our entire facility. I get a lot of questions about these awesome dogs. Would you mind if I had a link to your website? 

Attached is a picture of Kona sitting with Ruth. I wish it turned out better. I was using a cell phone camera in dim light. Kona makes Ruth look tiny.

“Hi Karen,

I wanted to write and let you know how Maya (daughter of Odawa and Catori), and Kaya (daughter of Tate and Petaga) are doing. They are really amazing dogs. They are both so smart. We have only had them a week and already they have learned their names, how to come, walk on a lead, sit and lie down on command. They are even housebroken!! I put in a doggie door and they love it. In and out all day long. You were right, they love the outdoors. We have been taking them on little walks around our neighborhood and they love it. Everyone has to stop us and ask about the puppies. "Gorgeous" is what we hear most often.

They just adore our seven-year old Golden Retriever. They follow her around everywhere. She loves them too. They are all so sweet together.

Thank you so much for raising the best dogs ever! They have already brought our family so much happiness.

We will keep in touch and let you know how they are doing. 

Raj, Camie, Cailee and Cameron Mehta”

“Hi Karen,

 Just thought I would send you a few pictures of Maya (marble broken pattern daughter of Odawa and Catori) and Kaya (white daughter of Tate and Petaga). As you can see, they have grown so much their first year. They love the outdoors. Their favorite time of the day is in the morning when we go for our walk around the neighborhood or to the dog park to play with all their pals. They are so cute. Best buddies, always playing together. We are so glad that we chose to get the both of them.

They are both so sweet and BEAUTIFUL. Everyone stops to ask about them. They are such a joy.

Enjoy the photos, hope all is well with you.

Simba - Sire~Catori

“Karen,

  Sorry I didn’t email you sooner, but we’ve been very busy with our new puppy (male from Catori & Odawa litter, Aug.19)! He is so cute! We named him Simba. He has been the best puppy ever! And what a fast learner! We’ve only had him for a week and he already recognizes his name, the sit command, and to go potty on command. We decided to crate train him since he cannot be left outside for long periods of time in the FL heat (which he is still adjusting to). He took to his crate wonderfully, probably because he is only in it for short periods of time. However, we recently learned that he is a little escape artist! A couple days ago my husband had put both the dogs in their respective crates so he could run out to get groceries; when he got home, Simba greeted him at the door! The little Houdini had figured out how to open his crate! Needless to say, my husband was very surprised, but what was even more surprising was the fact that Simba hadn’t destroyed the house. He had shredded two old magazines but that was it. What a good dog! I think he just wanted to prove that he could get out if he really wanted to.

Thanks a bunch, we are so happy with our new pup!

Simon's Dog - Sire~Catori

Tehya - Sire~Sakata Jerry

All I can say is that we are in love!  My husband, Steven and I have done nothing but thoroughly enjoy Tehya coming into our family.  She has settled right in and loves Quinn, our German Shepherd.  He has adopted her as his own and is full of life again after losing Kiya.  She came into the house without any issues or problems integrating with all my other animals!  We love her and she is a very good girl!  We go for walks everyday and she can go about 1 mile now.  She learned to walk on a leash with one lesson! Following this email I will send you a slide show that Steven made of her.  Thanks Karen for such a lovely puppy!  I have told many people about you and your very special dogs!  I had better go check on her, she may need to go out!  Lori Cohen”

“Hi Karen!

I hope that this email finds you all well at Majestic View!  I wanted to send a recent photo of Tehya.  She is 70 lbs at 6 1/2 months!  She is really beautiful and draws looks and questions wherever I take her.  She is a rambunctious puppy with a ton of energy and play in her!  She is incredibly smart but definitely has the female NAID stubborn streak  and just a bit of an attitude but it is all what I love about her.  I hope this photo can be put in the section of Odawa's offspring so everyone can see that I have "the most beautiful Indian Dog"!
