| HELLO EVELYN AND ED, HOWDY FROM KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE. WE PURCHASED TONI, REMEMBER HER OLDER BROTHER, WAS IN THE FIREHOUSE DOG MOVIE, WHICH WE BOUGHT A COPY OF, SHE LIKES WATCHING IT ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. SHE JUST HOWLS AND BARKS AND RUNS AND PLAYS AT THE TV, WHEN WE PLAY IT FOR HER. HER NEW NAME IS KATEY. YOU SHIPPED OUR LOVING LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY TO US, I BELIEVE IN SEPTEMBER. IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. SHE HAS BECOME AS CLOSE TO US AS A CHILD. SHE IS THE MOST LOVING ADORABLE PET WE HAVE EVER OWNED. SHE WAS VERY EASY TO HOUSE BREAK AND HAS HER OWN DOGGIE PORCH AND FENCED YARD TO COME AND GO AS SHE PLEASES. BUT, MOST OF THE TIME SHE WANTS TO BE IN THE HOUSE WITH US. HER TWO FAVORITE PAST TIMES ARE OBLITERATING HER NEW STUFFED TOYS. WE GO ONCE A WEEK TO PET SMART AND ALLOW HER TO PICK OUT A NEW ONE ON HER OWN, WHAT A BLAST. AND HAVING US PICK HER UP ABOUT A POUND OF DELI SLICED ANGUS ROAST BEEF, FOR HER SPECIAL TREATS, WHEN SHE HAS BEEN EXTRA SPECIAL GOOD. SHE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE SLICED ROAST BEEF, WASH THE CAR, CUT THE GRASS, VACUUM THE CARPET.!!! SHE HAS ALSO GOTTEN ALONG WITH KOKO OUR 9.5 YR OLD YORKIE VERY WELL, SHE HARASSES HIM A LITTLE SOMETIMES, BUT, WOOH BE THE DOG OR PERSON WHO IS NOT NICE TO HIM. SHE IS ALMOST LIKE HIS MOTHER OR SISTER. SHE LOVES JUST ABOUT EVERY PERSON OR DOG SHE MEETS. I DON’T BELIEVE SHE HAS EVER MET A STRANGER, SHE IS VERY OUTGOING AND SOCIABLE. THE GROOMER AND VET JUST ADORE HER. THANK YOU , Darrell and Susan |

| I am a little late in writing this review but have been busy with the love of my life, my Coton Trevor! He is sweet, cute, funny and a wonderful companion! I was a bit scared about buying a dog over the internet but the experience in working with Ed and Evelyn Weber was pleasurable, informative and easy. Trevor arrived safe, happy and very healthy. He has grown into a 10 mo. old friend and companion to me, my daugther and to Bella our 3yr. old Shih-Tzu. You could not go wrong buying a dog from Rockledge! Lori Peterson, Annapolis Maryland |
| HIGHLY RECOMMEND KENNEL- WE LOVE OUR IRISH We bought our very first puppy from Rockledge 7-07, an Irish Terrier. I was scared about the whole "puppy buying experience" but I had done a lot of research into the breed and the breeder. I have to admit, I was hesitant at first about buying a puppy sight-unseen all the way from Missouri, but after checking references and such... buying from Rockledge was the best decision!!! They were wonderful to deal with!! We had our puppy flown to us and this also went GREAT. I think the flight was less traumatic than a long car drive. I would be very happy to give any tips to those looking at buying their first Irish Terrier and would be happy to answer any questions about our dealings with Rockledge. Please email me your questions. We would definitely buy from them again. Karrie |
| Hello Evelyn, Ryan Contenta is my boyfriend and we got Clancy in November of 2006. I took this photo last fall and we wanted to share it with you. Clancy was renamed Rommel upon his arrival and has been the best dog you could ever ask for. He has a wonderful temperament, he is playful and loves children and other dogs. He loves his exercise and we love to hike with him all over the Berkshires. There are endless mountains, trails, streams and lakes and Rommel loves every inch of them. His energy is amazing yet at the end of the day he can switch gears and cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie with us. He is the best thing that ever happened to Ryan and we can't thank you enough for raising such a wonderful puppy and allowing him into our lives. He brightens our every day and brings us so much happiness and joy. Sincerely, Ryan and Leigh Anne |

| One year ago today, our pup was born at your place. His name was Elroy (now known as Shiloh.) I can't tell you enough what a beautiful dog Shiloh is. He has brought such love and joy to our family. I am now a crazy dog lady -- something I never thought I'd become. Shiloh is the light of our life -- he's happy, healthy and very smart. He brings me my shoes for our walks each day! I've attached a picture for you of him. Also, people are so enamored by Shiloh that they want one of their own. We recommended you to a friend, and now "Genevieve" has arrived in Massachusetts. Please know that Shiloh is well loved and cared for. Sincerely, Sue Mansfield |

| Hi Evelyn, I just wanted to give you an update on this sweet little girl! I have to tell you… I LOVE this dog! She is such a great, happy little pup. We renamed her “Jazzi,” which fits her to a tee! However, we kept part of her given name when we registered her, which is “Jasmine Cheri” (with Cheri utilizing the French pronunciation). Jazzi is so her! She is a jazzed up little pup! She has been such a joy, and a smart pup to boot! She already knows commands such as sit, down, watch me, stay, and will come back up on command from a lay or sit! I’m preparing her for her “job” as a volunteer pet therapy pup! I know she will bring tons of joy to the elderly and patients in the hospital. We just finished the last of our Parvo shots last week, so the vet gave us the go ahead to take her on walks. With the help of our other dog, Lady, Jazzi walked very well on the leash her first day. The second day, she knew exactly what she was supposed to do! So now every evening when she sees me get out the collar, she runs over and will sit down (on her own) by me while I put it on her! Then she runs to the door and is ready to go. If she’ s afraid she might be missing her walk, she will continue running to the front door with a whine and sometimes bark to let me know it’s Walk-time! Potty training is going wonderfully! I must say I’m sure I owe a good bit of credit to you and the way you get them started so early to go outside. I can honestly say, I think we are almost there – Knock on wood, we haven’t had any accidents in a couple of weeks! And when we had them before, they were far and few between! She fits in wonderfully with her new pet-mates.. Lady and George. She and George (the cat) play constantly! I think he’s her best buddy! She met another little Bichon (sp?) in our neighborhood tonight during our walk, and absolutely loved him – I think we may a few play-dates coming up! She also LOVES to run in the backyard with her dad. That is one of her favorite things – her dad cut her a Cherry tree stick to play with, which is probably as good as or better than the million toys we’ve bought her! She definitely has her routine down! She sleeps with us on our bed at night (yeah, the crate thing lasted about two nights… then she was with me and my husband!) She’s no problem at all. You hardly even know she’s there, unless she needs to go potty, and then I get a good ole’ wet kiss telling me, “get up Mom, I gotta go!” Her bed time is anywhere between 9 and 10 p.m., and she lets us know she’s ready for bed with a whine and running to the bed! Everyone that sees her says they would love to have a dog like her! Don’t be surprised if you get a few more calls from New Mexico! Who knows, maybe someday we’ll be ready for another one! Again, thanks so much for our little piece of heaven! Talk to you soon! Rhonda Schaefer |
REMY (O'ROARK -BRAN-ELLA HAZYL) BORN 4-26-08
| As you can see Remy is doing well....we're almost up to his training standard. Just an update with a sincere Thank You From the Moore Family. THANKS TO Mike, Donna , Mike , Colleen and Fenway FOR THESE ADORABLE PICTURES !! |
| THANKS TO THE DELGADO'S FOR THESE GREAT PICTURES !! Hello from Olive Branch, We just wanted to send you some photos and a quick update on Lucy (formally Foxette). She has been such a wonderful dog for us. Obedient, but with a good amount of spunk, she’s a quick learner and a fast friend to everyone she meets. We take her to the dog park as often as possible, and she’s always the one to initiate play, with both dogs and people. She just makes it a point to introduce herself to everyone. Lucy comes with us every day to work (my husband has his own law firm), and she just lightens up the atmosphere, keeping stress down to a minimum for anyone who needs a break from the day. All of our clients who come in love to play with her, and she does especially well with kids- she thinks they’re just the right size. We’re thrilled about how well she does with children- one week after we got Lucy, we found out I was pregnant! I’m due next month and I know she’s going to be a terrific big sister. She has spent many nights with me on the sofa curled up to my belly so she can feel the baby kick- she just seems to know that that’s her baby brother in there. Lucy is our sweetheart and our best friend. She keeps us entertained and constantly amazes us with her intelligence and vivacity. Thank you so much for breeding her- we couldn’t possibly imagine life without her now. David and Mary Delgado P.S. Shredding the mail for us is one of her favorite pastimes |
