“Hi Karen,
We thought we’d give you a short update about the trip home and
the new world they’ve discovered.
After we left Majestic View we drove strait through for 12 hours.
The puppies sat in the backseat with the non-driver keeping them
company and they were fantastic. They
did not mind the leash during pit stops (four altogether) and they slept
comfortably most of the way. We
arrived home at 0500 on Sunday morning and they acclimated beautifully
to the new surrounding. They
did not eat much on Sunday but they sure picked up the slack today…
the have a healthy appetite. Both
learned to go up and down the stairs and explored the entire house.
Leash training was very easy with the boy (we named him Tango
Mecosta Forel), the girl (Cha-Cha Whitney Forel) is getting used to walk
on a leash but not as good as the boy yet.
She is very smart despite her young age and picking up things
real fast. They love the
back yard, it is fenced and puppy proved and they run around and play.
It rained heavy today and they just loved playing in the rain.
Cha-Cha stool is a bit soft but it is better today than yesterday
(pills and less anxiety). Tango
is so much bigger and stronger and he is bossing her around and shows
his dominancy. She gets back at him when he is not ready… we believe
once the age and size difference is no longer a factor she will be
calling the shots. We took
many pictures (attached) and we are very happy with them and look
forward to many years of sharing love and experiences with them.
I’ll update you periodically and send photos if it is ok with
you. Thanks again for
introducing us to the NAID and for trusting your babies with us.
Best regards,
Ilana & Aaron”

“Hi Karen,
Its been a while since our last e-mail.
Tango and Cha-Cha are growing up fast and doing great. Attached
is proof of spay for Cha-Cha, but keep the refund. By letting us
have them you gave us enough. Please use the money for the NAIDs.
Attached are a few recent photos of Tango, son of Mecosta and Fantastic
Fred, and Cha-Cha daughter of Whitney and Looker. He is very
tall, long and lean, and he runs like the wind... real athlete.
Cha-Cha is long, full frame and not that tall. She is powerful and
very determined. Have a great
Forth
of July.
Best regards,
Aaron & Ilana”
_______________________________
“Hi Karen,
Tango
is 18-months old... Cha-Cha is three weeks behind... the weather is
getting nicer and it’s time for new photos. We go daily on long
walks and without exception, cars will stop and people will admire them
and ask many questions. There is a lot to admire beside their good
looks. They are so good, exceptionally smart and full of love.
Why own a dog when you can have a NAID? We will keep you posted.
Cheers,
Aaron
& Ilana”

“Dear
Karen,
We celebrated
Tango's fifth birthday yesterday. Cha-Cha birthday is in three weeks.
Can you believe
it's been five years? This is what they look now, gorgeous . Both
are most fantastic dogs... we could not asked for better
companions.
Fondly,
Aaron
& Ilana Forel”

“Hi Karen,
I got the red tortoise shell male from Whitney & Saranac Sam born the
end of February (Chief), he has been a fantastic dog. Last week he
started acting sick, sleeping all day and quit eating and drinking, he
has started shedding and his coat really smells, had some diarrhea,
threw up only once that I know of. Been at the vet every day, they
have run blood work, stool and urine samples, x-rays, the vet has no
clue what's up, all the tests come back OK. Any thoughts about
what could be wrong? Thanks for any thoughts you may have, --Matt
..........found out his kidneys have shut down.........might lose him
now for sure...........
___________________
Hi Karen,
Thought I would drop you a line and give you an update on Chief. He was
at a hospital for a few days for fluid therapy and his kidneys kicked
back in. This hospital you would not believe..... they were nicer than a
human hospital and more professional. They ran all sorts of tests
and did an ultra sound and everything came back good, it was driving the
doctors crazy (they called every specialist they could think of!!!!).
When I checked him out on Monday one of the vets took him back and
pulled one more blood sample. The results came back today and it
was positive for Leptospirosis. Lepto is very very rare in AZ, and
we don't even vaccinate for it because it’s so rare. The
lab could distinguish between the lepto vaccine you gave him and the one
he has, I guess there are several strains. He must have picked it
up two weeks ago at our cabin, he spent three days in a pond chasing and
catching fish, frogs and crayfish could not even get him out of the pond
all weekend. Lol!!! They really do love water!
He seems to be doing fine now and even though
the vets had no clue what was wrong they did everything right with
antibiotics and fluid therapy. The prognosis looks good I think we
caught it early and did all the right things. You now have several
people from the vet office and hospital who want a NAID after spending
time with him, I gave them
your info. Attached are some new pictures he is now a BIG boy and
getting bigger every day! Thanks for the help---Matt”

"Hi Karen!
Attached is a picture of Chief Yuha Hupahu (Pahu, for short) Just wanted
to say Happy Valentine's Day! Sorry we haven't gotten back to you
sooner, to thank you for our incredible puppy! He is amazing! Pahu
is doing very well. He has a personality unlike any puppy I have ever
seen, and I am continually fascinated with the wisdom in his eyes. He is
growing like a weed, more than doubled in size, in only three weeks! I
can't wait to see how big he is going to be, and at the rate he's growing,
I won't have to wait long ;)!
Thank you so much!

“Dear Karen:
We would like to update you on the NAID
you sold us last October. We named her Dakota, and she has grown into a
wonderful, loving, sweet and gentle dog who is a full fledged
member of the family. Did I mention how smart she is? Well she
is one of the smartest dogs I have ever owned and certainly the
most beautiful. There isn't a person who sees her, that does not
compliment her looks.
I am attaching a recent photograph
of her. Thanks so much. R. Shapiro”

Have you ever seen a more gorgeous animal in your life? (Don't
answer that - just let us gloat over the wonderful guy you've provided to
us...)!
Darrell & Alice"
_________________________
" Hi Karen,
He is truly wonderful and we love him dearly!!! The plane trip was a
bit traumatic, as was arriving at a new location. The first 1-2 days
he was pretty subdued, but boy is his personality showing now! We
are working on the crate potty training and he is doing so well.
What an incredibly smart little guy! We love to have him out n the
house playing with us when we are home (we can't get enough of him)
We have a large 7x14 kennel in the back yard with a large dog house that
we set up for him and he LOVES it in there. When he's playing out in
the yard, he will whine a bit if the gate to his kennel is closed and he
can't get in. Or if I'm taking him on his "potty walk" out
there he gets distracted and wants to go in the kennel and gets mad at me
if he's not allowed! He is so affectionate, but also tries to get
his way when he doesn't like the restrictions we put on him. It's
pretty funny. Anyway, we are so pleased with
him. We named him Dango. He doesn't know it yet, but I'm sure
he will in time! It was getting lonely with our only child having
married and moved away . He has certainly been a welcome and
wonderful addition. And I think he's the most gorgeous guy (besides
my husband, of course) in town! Thank you again for making this
possible for us. We are VERY happy adoptive parents!

Just writing to let you
know how great the puppy is working out. She made the trip fine and has
been the best puppy I have ever had. She has never whined or cried
and seems to be very happy with her human family. She has been very
trainable and can already walk well on a leash and sit on command. Thank
you for such a great dog!!!

| “Hi Karen,
This is a picture of Jenni and Meeko. I just realized, they
have similar hairdos.
Meeko is doing really well, growing and gaining weight. I'm
feeding her all the meat she can eat. She's a very happy and
friendly dog, a little spoiled, but such a sweetheart. Jenni
works, but Meeko and I are together all the time and somehow, we can
communicate pretty well. We have many activities, including
visiting and playing with other dogs.
Meeko is very smart. Today when I was working in the garden I
looked and noticed Meeko was digging under the rabbit cage. I told
her to stop it and took her over to a water tub I had for her to cool
off in, and washed her feet. I went back to work and just about as
soon as I turned my back, she was digging again. Well, I
said, "Hey! Stop digging!" She stopped and looked
at me, and then I said, "Now go wash your feet off."
Would you believe, that's just exactly what she did. She went over and
put her front feet in the water tub. She always has a
surprise for me.
She watches airplanes fly over. She'll hear it and look up.
I've never before noticed a dog do that.
Well, I have to say thank you very much. I wish you well and
hope for you're continued success.
Sincerely,
Craig Carlson”

“Dear Karen,
This letter is long overdue. Micco Cochi has fit into our home as if he was
born to be here. He sleeps with our 12 yr old beagle Loxy and plays all day
with our PyrShep "Wally". His quiet and calm disposition fools you
because he quietly and calmly gets into puppy trouble like stealing shoes
and socks that we inadvertently leave around, or calmly taking bones away
from the others. Now you realize that he does this all with a smile on his
face and a twinkle in his eyes. I
take him to puppy kindergarten and he does all that I ask him to do.
Karen, there is a calmness, niceness and gentleness in Micco that I have
never seen before in any other breed. He
is a pleasure to live with and to take other places and watch other people's
reaction to this wonderful animal. And
I am sure that you know this already but he is definitely a show
stopper!!!!! What a gem he is!
Thank you for entrusting this wonderful animal to us.
Fondly,
Susan”

He is as big as a bear, but as soft and gentle as a kitten. He

I hope to someday get another. I love my babies. I mix

Scottsdale
,
AZ.
) . We got NINO about 17 months ago
(pictures attached). He is such a wonderful dog. Bright,
loving and great with other dogs. Our only regret is we only got
one, and should have gotten two. We have a flat coated retriever and
do love him but he is getting old and we are afraid he may not be around
much longer. Consequently, we are considering getting another just
like Nino.
Anyway,
we would like a pup, male if possible, I'm not sure I have
completely talked Jeannie into it yet (or maybe she is talking me
into it) but could you tell me the time line for a pup? I guess when
I hear from you I will start the ball rolling. Thank-you Don &
Jeannie & Nino”
__________________________
“Hi!
Karen,
Hope
you are doing well! Think of you often especially with these two
guys that we have - thanks to you!
Just
checking to see if you have a "blue" like Nino available.
Nino is from Whitney's line. I know we must be crazy! Finally
got Duke trained to no digging etc. and Don said to email you and see if
there are any more like Nino.
Can
you believe he is going to be 6 yrs old in November and Duke will be 3 in
August? My gosh how time flies. We continue to be sooooo happy
with these two NAIDs. Every day they give us an experience that we
just say, "how lucky we are to have these guys!"
We
recently had Solar installed for our water heating and the sales person
was sitting at our dining room table with Don and I....the two guys were
"gassing" and I had errands to run so I excused myself to leave.
When I stood up the sales person stood up and took my hand to shake it and
Nino came unglued! Don says he would protect me with his life and
that incident made me a believer.
We
so sincerely think of you often and hope that you personally are doing
well. We know that sometimes life gives us untold experiences, but I
sometimes believe that HE is testing us. I have such a great
relationship with HIM and truly value it!
Stay
well and look forward to hearing from you!
Love,
Jeannie
& Don Bitler”

Sakari Yona -

“Hello Karen,
I just wanted to let you know all is going well here in
Maryland
. It took us 11 hours to get home and Sakari slept most of the time. The
remaining time, she howled. She is so sweet, we just love her to bits.
She does have a stubborn side though. She doesn't like to listen to the
command "Come". Actually I think she's a little confused
because when we say that, she goes the other way. We start puppy classes
this week so hopefully that will help. She also likes to paddle the
water out of her bowl and when she isn't doing that she lies next to the
bowl and dips her face in the water and then rubs it all over her legs.
She's a trip. We took her for her first visit to the vet two days ago
(she's 11 weeks) and she weighs 19 pounds and is very healthy. They all
just loved her there. Here are a few pictures of her. We'll keep you
updated as often as we can.
Thank you for such an awesome pup!
God Bless,
Jay and Sandy” |
Samson - Sire~Fantastic Fred

“Hi Ms. Markel,
My husband and I have a dog, aptly named Samson,
who is now almost 2 years old. He was an owner release at the
local Humane Society & was so big & beautiful & goofy, we
had to take him home. He was only described as "malamute
mix," but my husband & I knew that there was more to it than
malamute. I have tried for almost a year now to figure out what
kind of dogs Samson might have come from. Your pictures of Whitney
are the closest I have been able to find & the breed description
fits him so well. Even though it is doubtful he was bred
to be an NAID (more likely, he was a big, fluffy accident), whatever
combo created him has produced a dog as beautiful & wonderful as
this breed. I hope you continue to be successful.
...Thanks for a great site & with great
information,
Dana Karstensen-Bryan”
I did some research and found out that Samson was
indeed a Whitney /Fantastic Fred pup born
Dec. 15, 2002
. He was sold to a Native American and his wife in
Washington
, and dropped off at a local Humane Society shelter several miles from
the reservation that the N.A.s lived on. I knew he was
one of mine, the looks just don't lie.

“Dear
Karen,
Thanks so much for your reply. Sorry to hear the puppy is sold
already. Will keep an eye out for others from similar breedings.
We bought a female from you about 5 years ago. She is great. A
beautiful dog and very intelligent....gets along with our wheaten
terrier, cat, and numerous tortoises and turtles. Her name is
Sanuye (Whitney and Looker breeding) and I attached a picture for you.
All the best. Dr. Weber”
