​Hi Sherry,

SAWYER is doing great! On the way home he pooped in his crate but after that he slept the whole way! He's not a big fan of the crate so he sleeps with me at night, but he does sleep through the whole night. He loves all of his toys especially his rope toy! Thank you so much for raising such a great puppy we love him so much!

Just a quick picture of Addison and Charlie tonight, Charlie is the next-door neighbors dog.  Him and Addison are boyfriend and girlfriend .... They play so good together!!

​It's funny because Charlie is older and he takes care of her and watches out for her

   Hi Sherry, just thought we would send you this photo. We are celebrating Addison's one year birthday today and we invited six of the neighborhood dogs to come over for the birthday party and help her celebrate.

​Hi Sherry, just thought we would send you a picture of Puddin from today, we ended up naming her ADDISON (Addy for short) .... She's up to 7.8 lbs, The vet was very impressed with her she's a very healthy little girl.... Oh and by the way not only does she love chasing leaves but she also loves playing in the snow.

​Hi Sherry, just wanted to give you a quick update on Addison. She is up to 16 pounds now!!  Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas and new year.
​Chad & Jenny

This is the little girl we called Puddin'.  She was about a quarter of the size of her 3 siblings, so we had to give her extra feedings for the first 5 weeks or she wouldn't have made it.
Of course we love them all but sometimes there's one that really leaves an impression on our heart.  She is now very much loved and spoiled by her new parents Chad & Jenn Borwig

​She's been eating great, the 3 feedings she had yesterday (Breakfast, Lunch, Supper) combined she ate about 1-1/2 cups...Not to mention a few treats also for being such a good girl when it's potty time.  She doesn't mess around, she gets to her potty area outside and gets her business done so she can get back to playing.

​Hi Sherry, just thought we'd let you know Puddin did amazing last night.... She went to bed at 10pm in her crate in our bedroom, she did not wake up until 3:30am, took her outside and she pottied, she went back into the crate with no fussing and did not wake up again until 630 this morning... She loves chasing leaves in the yard..she's napping right now, all tuckered out from playing..

Hi Sherry,
We had a wonderful first day and night with Red girl, who we named
ABBY. She was pretty quiet the whole car ride back to Omaha. She spent the rest of the afternoon exploring her new home and napping.
She really tried her hardest to befriend our cat, but it appears the cat would like for the two of them to remain at a respectful distance as of now. Ha. Abby is so sweet and soft and loves to follow us around everywhere we go. She is picking up on the concept of chasing a ball. Her 8 year-old human, Nick, thought she might have come pre-programmed with this game.
I was surprised that she took so well to her crate and has made it her little den. Our first night together she slept from midnight to 5 a.m. That was a welcomed surprise. Abby is a good listener and appears to be responding well to some of our direction. She is affectionate and loves to play! She is a wonderful addition to our little family.
 
Thank you so much,
Veronica Wortman, Chris and Nick Ploetz

Sherry and Steve,
 We made it home safe and sound.  ROURKE did fantastic on the trip home. He slept most of the way, and has been playing hard and sleeping hard
since we pulled into the driveway.  Our kids and grandkids have all been over to love on him.  The grandkids had so much fun running around the
yard with Rourke following closely behind :).  I will send photos later.  Thanks again for giving him such a wonderful start, and we could not be more pleased to have him as the newest member of our family!
He is perfect!

Hi Sherry...
The vet visit went very well...the owner/vet of the Excelsior Veterinary Hospital gave strong compliments such as "excellent specimen"...kind of sterile and  nerdy but we'll take it!!  Of course the whole staff and waiting customers fawned over her also:)  I don't know if my pictures will go through...haven't sent any with my newer OS.  OK to use any or none ha ha ha. 
MAISIE eating and the vet suggested cutting back from the bag suggested servings.  Also...an add on from an ancient Amazon order happened to appear today boxed separately...so Marty Moose seemed almost like a birthday present when opened in front of her...it took her about an hour to settle down!
Hope the pics come through...Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for one very neat puppy!

Hi Sherry!  It was great to finally meet you and Steve.  I am sooo impressed with your facilities and commitment to  both the Wheatens and the adopters (ME!!).  Not to worry about the picture...the talk we had was one of those priceless moments and I appreciated the officially "unavailable" time allotted to
MAISIE and me.  I've left her yellow collar on and will get a picture after her vet visit tomorrow (it's at 3PM).  We did travel directly home...she got as far as Burger King before pooping all ever her bed (covered in a towel and easy and quick to swap out in the parking lot:) and then again about 15 minutes later...ugh! (kidding:)  She slept most of the way home or would sit quietly in the carrier doorway staring at me for miles.  We spent the booming lightning night huddled together in my bed and today almost seems potty trained and is eating and drinking and playing.  She is already firmly planted in my heart...so glad I found you as a breeder (and such genuinely wonderful people too!:)  Glad you received your $$$ without another glitch.  In case you can't tell...I'm a very happy guy right now and thrilled to have a Wheaten back in my life again...almost surreal:) I'll get back to you soon with a picture of us...
Thanks Sherry and Steve.  Sincerely...Dan and Maisie O'Connell

Hi Sherry, Here is pink girl Breena this spring. What do you feed your adult Wheatens?

She will, of course be a year old on June 10. She is still a sweet, fun dog. Loves to play Soccer in the back yard and has a best friend in the neighborhood. Her friend is a two year old female Wheaten.

Hope you are doing well.
Best, Barbara Kapala

Hi Sherry, Wow! August and September went so quickly.
BREENA has kept us very busy. She is doing so well. She is totally house trained, weighs 17.4 pounds and is bringing so much joy to us. She is teething like crazy, and has already lost one of her front baby teeth. Her favorite thing to do is to go for walks. She loves people and is very friendly.
We are so thankful for her!

Hello Sherry, 

  BREENA did very well riding home in the crate yesterday. She cried and whined a bit, but we ignored it and she laid down and went to sleep. When she woke up we had her stretch her legs and go to the bathroom.
  We gave her a few stretch and potty breaks and she made the 6 hour trip just fine. When we got home, we fed her and gave her water, took her out and  then she slept really well in the crate for most of the night.
  She is doing well going outside to eliminate and loves our back yard.
  We absolutely love her.
​  It was a real pleasure to meet you in person.
  We appreciate the love and care you show to your Wheatens.
Barbara and Chris Kapala

Hi Sherry! 
  Wanted to send you an update on
RACHEL (gold girl) from Josie's 5/13/16 litter. She's doing great! The groomer shared a great before and after of her first 'big girl' haircut a few days ago. 
  She is a very rambunctious and sweet girl and so so smart. Her best friend is a goldendoodle that lives down the street from us. She doesn't ever meet a stranger and I think everyone in the neighborhood knows her name (and not mine)! 
  Hope you all are doing well!!

Hi Sherry!


  Wanted to send a quick update on 'gold girl' who is now named
RACHEL. She was perfect on our flight home! She is REALLY smart, she learned the 'sit' command in about 2 minutes and will now sit nicely if she wants anything from us, and is doing great with potty and crate training. She and our kitten, Mischa, are getting along amazingly, they love to wrestle and chase each other around the house. Rachel also kindly shares her breakfast of puppy food with her in the morning. 

  She is a little bit of a prissy girl, hates the sun and wet grass in the morning and prefers the air conditioning (but who doesn't though in the summer in Georgia?). But we all love her. She is a pistol for sure and keeps us on our toes. 


​  Thanks for everything!! -The Christians

Hi Sherry,
Just wanted you to know that 'Green Boy' has been named 'CHEWIE' after Chewbacca, the character in Star Wars. He's doing great and we all have fallen in love with the little guy. You may also like to know that our Vet told us other than a minor under bite, he's a very healthy pup. She was especially impressed with your deworming program and told us he clearly came from a breeder that loves and knows how to care for dogs. We'll send photos soon.

Best,
Steven L'Heureux

​Hi Sherry! Just wanted to say hello and update you with some pictures of DUGAN (born 5/13/16). He is such a wonderful pup and is spoiled rotten and is the absolute best dog EVER! Seriously. His personality is so much fun and he makes me laugh on a daily basis. He loves the Colorado snow and is out in it every chance he gets. He is quite the handsome boy! Hope all is well!

Couldn't help but share a few photos of DUGAN (blue boy from Josie and Dylan's litter).. He got to spend the week with my mom and her two giant schnauzers while I was on vacation. He did just fine playing with the big dogs and loved every minute of it! They tried to teach him how to be a watch dog.. Haha. Dugan loves the water and will do anything he can to be wet (which makes bath time super easy and fun, luckily)! Hope all is well!

Just wanted to update you on blue boy,
DUGAN. He is such a good puppy and so much fun to be around. He's very calm in the house but looooves to run and play outside - Half the time I can't get him out of the back yard! One of his favorite spots in the house is on the A/C vent on the floor. He has such a fun personality and we couldn't be happier! You can definitely tell he had an amazing momma and care taker for the first 8 weeks of his life! Thank you so much for everything you do for these pups!!

​Not yet! I'm so sorry, we haven't had anyone available to take one for us. We all went to the vet on Saturday morning and I forgot to ask them to do it! It took us awhile, but Orange Boy is now FINTAN. We are having so much fun with him. He is quite curious and adventurous. He mastered going up the stairs into our apartment on Friday night (after a full day of traveling). We also discovered that he loves the sound and feel of plastic. We bought a plastic holder for puppy pads in case we had problems getting outside, Fintan quickly adopted the empty holder as one of his favorite spots. Ive attached a couple of the pics that we've been able to catch of him.

​Chevy loves to sit on my lap during car rides, if he isn’t on my lap then he has to be riding shotgun!
​First day as a farm dog! Learning how to do barn chores and riding around in the gator!
​You can tell when he is tired if he is laying in this position. Every night before bed this is how I know it’s bedtime!
Before we decided to take him swimming, He doesn’t mind water at all, as long as it’s his idea!
He loves to sunbathe out in the yard. He would live outside if I would let him!
First bath time! He was not too thrilled that he had to get a bath!
​This is Chevy’s best friend! Brinkley an Aussie mix. The day he meet Brinkley, he had to go and do everything Brinkley did, with us putting up hay, Chevy and his best friend get to spend a lot of time together helping us out with hay. I think Brinkley is teaching Chevy to be a farm dog more than I am!

Hi!  Thought I would send an update on CHEVY! He is growing so fast! I love him so much! He has been a great addition to my home! He is almost completely potty trained and is sometimes smarter than his own good! He has made some other dog friends that he is obsessed with and he loves his siblings (Horses) and respects them really well. I can find him somedays just sitting there in the horse pen watching them. He currently is in “training” on becoming a farm dog, but he is loving every second of it.
Chevy is really good at listening, usually when I call his name, I will have him at my feet within a couple of seconds, except when he is with the horses! LOL He is so playful and full of energy. I attached some pictures for you to see!
Hope all is well!
Thanks
