Hi Lane and Dan. We love what you've done to the website. It looks
amazing! Thought you might like to see some recent pictures of Grinze. She was a superstar in first year of hunting with Steve. Steve is anxious to get her out again soon. The other pictures of Grinze out at our property in Eastern Washington. She LOVES the snow! Grinze has such a funny
personality. She fits in great with the family...just another kid!

We are having the best time with Grinze. She is growing so fast. Last visit to the vet she was up to 41 pounds and doing very well. We continue to be surprised by her personality. She is playful, energetic and calm at the same time, if that is possible! This breed is everything you said it would be. She is great with the kids although she ate Kennedy's homework folder the other day! Kennedy took what was left of her folder to her teacher, who admitted no student had ever brought in proof that their dog ate their homework. She makes us laugh all the time. She snores like a freight train! Between her and Steve, I am having a hard time getting to sleep at night. As I am writing this email she is sitting at the window pointing the dust she sees in the air. It reminds me of when Steve and I were at your house and Draco was doing the same thing. We have also been amazed at how quickly she catches on to commands. She sit-stays very well (even for the kids!), she comes (most of the time) and has been completely house trained since a couple of weeks of us getting her home. Grinze is also healing very well and is a joy to take for walks. Steve is introducing her to a bird wing and getting her out on a long leash so she can explore. She is very curious and patient. I sent you a picture of Grinze on our dock. We are looking forward to warmer weather so we can get her swimming. Can't wait to see her in the water! Steve and I would really like to get another dog from you. How old do you think Grinze would have to be to bring another dog into the family? If that isn't testimony on how much we love this dog, I don't know what is! Thank you so much for this amazing pup! Christina

. Grinze is so amazing. She is already fetching like a champ and loving doing it! We are having a great time. Thanks for everything! -Christina

Steve and I wanted to send you some pictures of Grinze and
her new little sister, Lentigginosa ("freckles" in Italian). We're calling
her Tiggi ("Alessa" on Ralph's website). The girls are doing great
together. Grinze has adjusted really well and Tiggi is fitting into the
family. Grinze is very loving, patient and extremely playful with Tiggi.
It's like the WWF over here!
