It's that time of year when I get a lot of Christmas cards with photographs inside.  Even people who don't stay in touch all year round, seem to send updates of my pups.

Most of the old timers on here will know that I adore the pastoral breeds, even though I have poncy toys!

Said tongue in cheek, as I know we have members who hate "snappy, yappy little dogs."  :-)

All my toy pups are educated by my elderly Beardie bitch, and don't do snappy yappy!

I am soooo proud!  One of my puppy owners has proudly announced that their family pet is a PAT dog!  And everybody loves her.  She is a very small bitch with a very outgoing personality.

I'm as proud as if I gave birth to her myself!  :-)

Awww, how great :)

What a lovely Christmas pressie, to find out something like that :)

That's really nice! :) The Christmas cards are so nice to get when you hear from puppy buyers -so much news from so many, and like you say, you hear from people who don't keep in touch during the rest of the year. Love it.

That's lovely :)  I know my mum breeds pedigree cats (she's only had 2 litters) and was over the moon this Christmas to receive cards with photo's of her babies!

I hope the breeders of my dogs are as happy when I update them on my precious dogs that I got from them.

Great News Jean!! Makes it all worth while.

Ive been getting some cards actually featuring my owners dogs..... some are very sweet or funny but nicely personal and reassuring.

What a testament to good breeding and rearing. You should be proud.

I would be beside myself with joy! Huge congratulations; to breed such a solid, even temper is a huge achievement!

Good for you & well deserved, if only our two had come from someone such as you. Happy Christmas.

What a lovely thing to recieve!  And you must be proud as punch!!
Fabulous testement to the wonderful job you did rearing your babies.

My vet once said that he knew the puppy marching into his office was one of mine as the head and tail were up and he was happy as anything!! My heart swelled with pride!! so I know how you feel.

Merry christmas!

Thanks everyone.  :-)

I just knew that you would all know exactly how I felt!

Oh that is lovely, because not only did you breed a dog with a super temperament but you also chose a really good owner too, great Christmas pressie :-)
