The perfect addition......
Hi Ray,
I just want to let you know that Daxter has settled in very nicely. He's perfect! I must say that you did an excellent job in picking Daxter for our family. As novice pet owners we really didn't know what to expect, but our little vizsla is so eager to please us that training has been very easy.
By the way, he has complete run of the house ( I know against every-one's advise) but he really seems to understand that certain parts of the house are off limits- he only goes to the forbidin zones when he wants our attention, and then he squeaks a toy so that we know he's there.
Our vet says that Daxter is healthy and a good looking vizsla ( she has several vizsla's in her practice from other breeders, but they aren't as pretty.) Daxter is a pleasure to walk, he came well socialized. He plays with all our neighbours' dogs and he's not afraid of people. He also would love to chase bikes and cars, but he's learnt to sit instead, tail thumping. He can't resist my son's skateboard and has actually tried riding it, much to the amusement of guys in the skateboard park. Daxter and my son are the best of friends, yesterday I caught them cooling off together in the bath-tub water splashing in all directions. He's also an avid digger- nothing makes our Daxter happier then digging in the sandpit at the local school-yard. He's still very young (11 weeks), he's pointing, unfortunately mostly at ants.....but he's still learning!
He doesn't like to be crated. When we initially crated him he was like an opera singer, his vocal span and abilities were quite impressive. Now he gives us a few whimpers in protest, but remains calm and sleeps until we let him out.
We love Daxter. I can't imagine our life without him. Thank You so very much for such a wonderful puppy.

For the love of Xander......
Hi Ray,
We just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much we love Xander. We could not have asked for a better puppy. He has the greatest temperment of any dog we've ever had. He loves all things living...other dogs, our 2 cats, children, and adults, he is just wonderful. We started out just wanting a companion dog but we entered him into a field test where we were able to see and appreciate his amazing hunting and pointing instincts. He is only one leg away from his FDJ designation and we are planning on entering him in NAVHDA this fall. Thank you for all your help and support!

The Story of Rusty....Below is a typed letter written to Ray on February 23, 1983.
While at the Kennel being trained as a mantracker, Mr. Elliott also tried him at sniffing drugs and he passed with flying colors. In December, 1981, the Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania Game Commission requested that Rusty, perhaps could find a deer hunter that had not returned from the woods. This hunter was reported missing at 3:00 pm, and search parties searched for him until 12 o'clock midnight without any luck. Rusty was then called. He was put on track with only the smell of the hunters shirt, which his wife had brought from home, that he had worn the previous day. At approximately 1:00 pm, Rusty started tracking the lost hunter. Six hours and approximately 10 miles later, the missing hunter was found dead. Rusty and his owner-handler, and a park ranger had worked tirelessly tracking this hunter. All were thanked for a job well done, but most of the thanks went to Rusty, and he loved all the attention.
In May 1982, Rusty was used by the Beaver County Sheriff's Department to track an armed robber. The armed robber held up a business in a local shopping plaza. He ran and subsequently stole a car. He preceded down the highway and eventually abondoned the automobile 10 minutes later near a heavily wooded area. The Sheriff's office immediately called for Rusty to track the fleeing felon. The only scent Rusty had to go on was teh seat and the gas pedal of the stolen automobile which the robber had been in for only 10 minutes. He tracked this robber through the woods, up a mile high steep hill, over a golf course, through another area of woods and into a town. He lost the trail in town where the robber was picked up in an automobile by an accomplice. This trail covered about six or seven miles. With Rusty's help they were able to locate and apprehend the robber in the town not far away.
In November 1982, Rusty and his owner-handler were called to patrol an area where a bomb had exploded and several tons of explosives still on the property were sniffed out by Rusty.
During the summers of 1981 and 1982, Rusty was used to patrol the Fair Grounds with his owner-handler.
Rusty is also an Honorary Deputy Sheriff and has his own badge.
Your truly,
Clyde R. Anderson, Owner-Handler
Introducing Benson....Below is an e-mail from a new and satified Bonneterre Kennel vizsla owner.
Just thought we would send you a picture of Benson, he is a great boy. He is sitting on the couch beside me right now with his Nylabone....he has had his shots a couple of weeks ago, and the vet said he looked good.
He was house broken in the first week, is coming, sitting, and off on command of course with the help of some treats.... he sleeps in his crate at night and stays in their a few hours at a time when we have to go out.... ( Ana's parents live down the street and have been helping out if we are more than a few hours out) we love this little guy so much - he is wonderful. He is very social and loving to all visitors, he's been getting good exercise everyday with dad, and we have a private obedience trainer coming in this week - he will start phase II classes with a group in January.
He looks really good as you will see in the picture - I think he is going to be a good size male.
Hope you are well, and feel free to drop in and see Benson any time you are in Georgetown.
Regards,
D'Arcy, Ana and Benson says hello Grand dad...
