 Simone is now Buddie!
Dear Keith and Sharon,
We wanted to write and tell you what a joy "BUDDIE" is. It is less than two weeks ago that we traveled from Pennsylvania to Tennessee to meet "BUDDIE", and it was love at first sight! You were so right when you told us that a 7 month old Welsh would not have any trouble adjusting to his new home. From the moment that you kissed "BUDDIE" goodbye and we began our 12 hour trip home he has been perfect. He is so bright and inquisitive, loves to play, but also enjoys his quiet time as you can see from the pictures. We can't thank you enough for all the information and complete records that you provided...."BUDDIE" thanks you for the bag of treats and toys you packed for him.
We look forward to many happy years of walks on the beach, learning to be a therapy dog for the local retirement home, hanging out together, and following whatever direction our new family member takes us.
The best to you and Sharon,
Karen, Skip, and "BUDDIE" Hoyt

Maybe You Need An Older Dog...
Puppies are not for everyone. Certainly, they are adorable and very appealing, but require all your time. If you don’t have the time, the energy or the commitment to train a small puppy as it needs to be trained, for its own sake as well as yours, maybe you should think about an older puppy or an adult dog.
Our hobby is breeding and exhibiting Welsh Terriers. Puppies are evaluated at eight weeks, and those with exceptional promise stay with us and are periodically re-evaluated. If, at any time, we feel they are not fulfilling their potential, we place them as companions. For many people, an older puppy (three to six months old) provides a more suitable alternative to an eight to ten week old puppy. You still have the puppy exuberance, but, being that much older, they are quicker to train, and have passed the destructive puppy phase.
From time to time, we also have adult dogs to place. These are champions who have finished their breeding career. Typically, the girls are four or five years old, the boys tend to be younger, although there are exceptions. These adult dogs are sometimes house dogs, in which case, they are house-trained, or they may have spent their lives living in a kennel. Either way, they adapt quickly to their new lives as pampered pets. They are quick to train and are more subdued than the younger dogs while retaining the terrier curiosity and delight in activity.
People’s greatest concern in taking an older dog is that they may not bond as well as a puppy. This is not an issue with a Welsh whose capacity for love and loyalty is unbounded. Over the years, we have placed any number of adult dogs, and without exception, their new families have found that they settle in and become an integral part of the family within a matter of days.
If you think an older puppy or adult dog may be right for you, please give us a call so we can answer your questions and let you know who might be available. |
Player's Boy is now Fred!
Dear Keith and Sharon,
I have been thinking for a long time to write and thank you for my wonderful Welsh Terrier, Unyes . She has turned out to be a delight. She has her Mom's, (Goody) wonderful personality. I must say I do have a job getting her to come when called at times, but I have installed an invisible fence around my property and she loves to explore. I was thrilled that she loves to swim. In the summer, we swim laps together. Unyes is a wonderful companion and is actively interested in participating in my life.
She loves her yorkie brothers and has learned to play nicely with them. I have had to get her unstuffed animals because if not she loves to unstuff them. She knows her toys and has never chewed up anything of mine! She is very affectionate and a delight.
Again thank you for this wonderful addition to my life.
Carolyn
