TESTIMONIES FROM NEW PARENTS

Laurel, Please use this letter in any manor that you wish. It is a story that I have repeated many times to a countless number of people.

I am proud of my Pei, and no matter where I go he is with me most all the time. When most people see him, the first thing that is sed is "what a beautiful dog" where did you get him? I have to tell them as well as give them your web address.
I must say that I am most impressed by your ability to hold each and every one of your puppies and love and cuddle as if they where yours forever. And the extra care that was given to those that had a lesser chance at life, much less to be sold. I was equally impressed by the country setting and fresh air, clean shady runs that the animals seam to enjoy. I can tell that you are not doing this for the money, There is too much love involved. (And yes he was house broken when I brought him home!) You are most amazing. We at my household have only continued to give the love where you left off. Thank you Laurel for your support even today. I truly love my Pei. My address may be given,

Hi Laurel,

Please feel free to use this email on your website.

Just wanted to let you know how Izzy is doing. (Pictures to come shortly)
I couldn't be any happier with him. You said on your website that you breed
them to have a sweet temperment and you really hit the mark with him. I
have had two other sharpei's and have never seen one with such a great
disposition. He surely doesn't know a stranger and his tail never stops
wagging!! He was completely house broken within two days and at 10 weeks
old has already learned to sit and lay down provided there is a biscuit at
hand. When I picked him up at the airport you could tell that he had been
well loved and well cared for. He adaptedly instantly to his new home.
Thank you sooooo much for the care you showed when he was shipped. He
still plays with the stuffed toy that you put into his crate. I really
appreciate how easy you made the entire transaction - and what a beautiful
little pup you sent my way. Everyone asks about him and I tell them to go
onto your website and look at all the beautiful pei's. Thanks
again........wish I lived closer so I could have come to visit!

I like to send you photos of our baby from time to time. We bought him from you in August of 2001. He is a five point red and he is our baby!!!!. We live near Charlotte, NC and we love him so much! I just want to thank you again for such a beautiful pet and how much he is loved. Not only does he live inside, he sleeps with us and we bought a condo at the beach that had to allow dogs by the owners!!! He lets us live with him! Thought you might like some extra photos a we have sent you some in the past. Hope all is well and that you are doing good. Thanks again for our baby!!!!!!

thank you so much for caring for your puppies as you do. lu lu was 1 yr old as of june 26. we love her so much. she made her first trip to the shore this year and loved it. i don't know what i would do without her. she is perfect. she came to us trained and has never made an accident in the house. she is a love and a cuddler in the morning...yes, her bed is my bed, lol !! thanks so much for taking such care with these wonderful dogs, it show in every way. even everyone at the vet this week

Renee and I wanted to take a moment and thank you so very much for the adoption and delivery of our new pups – Yale & Yates. They have brought so much life into our family and home. They are BEAUTIFUL puppies in looks and spirit!

We were really impressed by Colkim Kennels in every way. In responsiveness to our initial interest and the questions we had about the puppies and your kennel, about the expedience at which you delivered the boys to their far away home via airline, and the condition in which they arrived in their kennels and with the documentation, health records and helpful instructions for caring for them as puppies into their early adult lives.

They have been to our vet – Prairie Animal Hospital and received their 13 week shot which included the second portion of the combination vaccine as well as a de-worm oral injection and a Bordatella nose drop. We will take them back at 16 weeks for the final combination and Rabies vaccine. The vet doesn’t recommend the Lepto for animals here in North Idaho. I showed Dr. Mary, the vet, your paperwork and she added it to their records and was very responsive and cooperative in discussing their treatment as you had outlined. We will schedule the boys for their neuter after the holidays… to give them a little bit more quiet time for recuperation. (Of course if you have any input about Yates before the clipper, he is an incredible dog in appearance, we’d love to know your thoughts! Just know we are not biased … we think Yale is handsome as well J!)

They have officially become snow dogs too! We had snow early this year around Thanksgiving and they are doing well going outside to eliminate as we continue to work on the potty-training.

Thanks so much for the puppies! We wish you continued success at your Kennel and a very Happy Holiday season!

I don’t know if you remember me but we bought a puppy around Easter last year in Pittsburgh . Sal is turning 1 on Feb. 10^th and I thought you would like to see a few pictures of him. He has turned out to be a GREAT friend and family member to all of us. I have never known I dog to be so loyal and loving. He has grown up with pride, attitude and confidence that I have never seen in a pet. Thanks again for sending him to us. I look forward to getting another one in the near future when we move in April. Feel free to use the pictures on the website if you want.
