“Karen,
I wanted to let you know how well Yonv is doing. She is very happy and is
exuberant in her affection. She is sleeping most of the nights- although
she really doesn't like to be alone. The girls have been sleeping
downstairs with her! She doesn't like the kennel- so we took it back... no
real need for it anyway since she won't be using it once she is trained.
She likes to sleep on the air vents and linoleum. It is July in the South
and she loves the a/c. She is so funny!! She likes to "swim" in
her water bowl. She will put her feet in it and splash it all out on the
floor then paw at her dish- its too funny! We think she has grown since
arriving on Monday- unreal how fast!
She went shopping today- we took her to PetSmart. The ladies there have
been hearing for weeks now about her and wanted to see her. EVERYONE ooohd
and aahhhhd over her- People asking if we were going to breed her- that
they would like to have one. I have one of your business cards- would you
mind sending a few more so I can pass them out as people ask?
We are so pleased with her- thanks again! She is sooo pretty and a
great
personality. Sometimes she goes into turbo dog mode- usually after a power
nap and she is very persistent in her "puppyness". She has 2
different rawhide bones and a wonderful stuffed animal toy that is made of
the training canvas that she loves to chew on. not to mention the assorted
variety of balls and such.
So far housebreaking is going well- she knows what she is to do when she
goes outside- the part about waiting till she goes outside is the next
thing to learn. All in all she is doing very well. The few accidents have
been due to us not getting her outside in time. But they are a very FEW
times..Just wanted to let you know how she is doing. She goes to meet her
new vet Aug 2. They are very interested in meeting her too…

“Karen,
I wanted to let you know how Yonv is doing.
She went to the vet last Thurs for her final puppy shots. She is
very healthy and everyone at the vet loves her. She goes this coming Thurs
to get her ID chip. The vet is running a clinic for it and seeing how
special and rare a pup she is, we think its best to have her id'd.
She goes to school in Oct- we will take her 3 Saturdays in a row,
she will learn basic commands such as sit, stay, come, down... she has
learned some of these already, but we feel it’s important that we take
the time to do this for her.
At her appointment we found out that she is now 38lbs and only 4 mos old!
She is a big girl! Yonv is getting her adult teeth in now- bless her heart
she is chewing intensely on her toys. We all will be glad when her teeth
don't hurt her anymore. She wants to help out in the kitchen, she stands
up with her front feet on the counter or the sink to see what I'm doing,
She loves to get into the tub with a bit of water to splash around in. She
doesn't like to be alone so she is always with one of us- just being a
part of the family. She is so sweet and loving. I don't know that we have
ever seen a big dog with such a loving disposition. I will say that as
loving as she is with us- she is very watchful with new people. When the
cable man came out she was on guard and didn't like it one bit that he was
here! I guess that’s all for now. I'll send new pics when my daughter
downloads
them.

“Karen,
How are you? Everyone who
sees Yonv oohs and aahs over her. Our
older daughter had her birthday party last Saturday, I was concerned how
Yonv would take to all those people being in the house- but she really had
a good time and was so well behaved. She loves ice cubes and watches
intently as we dispense them from the refrigerator door- I think she is
figuring it out! One day I'll come into the kitchen and she will be
helping herself to the ice! You know, she doesn't know that she is a
dog, and a big one at that! She is just one of the girls! We
had friends over the other day- they brought their little Yorkie, he and
Yonv are about the same age. They went tearing thru the house-
having the best time! This little 5 lb dog and Yonv, the 80lb pup!
Our little Patchy (Lhasa Apso) was beside herself- hiding under the table.
She is almost 12 and didn't quite know what to make of the "younger
dogs" playing so hard. We
saw on your site you have a new litter of pups. They are SO CUTE!
My family is jumping up and down to get another one- but I say wait till
Yonv is about 2. But, for kicks and giggles- what do you have?
Thanks for a wonderful dog!

“Karen,
Hi! I was just on your site and saw all the new babies! OOH
they are SO CUTE!
I wanted to let you know how Yonv is doing.. As you know she is now a year
and a half old. She is between 90-100lbs and is BEAUTIFUL! She
is an inside dog, of course. She doesn't chew no no's anymore, only
her toys. I have had to get some canvas to make a blanket for her-
and will need to get more to make a chew toy.. the commercial toys just
don't stand up to her for long.
Did I tell you that our
Lhasa
, Patch, passed away in May? Well, Yonv was so sad, she just didn't
know where her sissy was. We got another
Lhasa
in June- and Yonv was so happy to have a sister again! The NAIDS
really do like to have other dogs around. Well, the new pups' name
is Koda, and they both play together. They rough house and run and
then snuggle together for nap time. Yonv is always very careful to
not step on Koda or hurt her. On Saturday mornings, Yonv knows she
always gets an Enzadent bone. After she gets thru chewing it, she
gets on our bed with us and Koda for some cuddle time. She loves the
weekends when Daddy is home.
I have never seen a dog as intelligent as Yonv. Nor have I ever seen
a large breed dog with such a loving disposition. She looks at us
with those big amber eyes with such love. She gives kisses too!
She loves as hard as she plays.
She talks to us now, and will sing some too. I want to let her do
the answering
machine!
We are still looking to get another NAID in a year or so. We had
orginally thought to get another one when Yonv was 2, but we are now
thinking maybe 3 is a better span, since Koda is only 9 mos old. Do
you know who you will be breeding ahead of time? We'd like to know
who will be having pups maybe next Christmas time??? Or soon
thereafter.
I'm attaching some recent pics.. They are a variety, so you can see
what a great girl she is.
Hope you are doing well, Blessings!
