I can’t thank you all enough.  Maggie is awesome. It took 2 days to housebreak her    She loves her crate at night and actually we have found her in there during the day when she is tired  She is the most amazing dog. We just love her.

Thank you again!!!

Big Brutus Bolton has been My sweet baby boy for 3 years now. It has been a true blessing to watch him grow up. Every time I come home he’s there greeting me with a wagging tail and gives me a big Brutus hug. He’s a wonderful protector when he wants to be that is  :)   Though when he was younger I thought he may be a bit slow he grew up to be so smart.  He loves doing his tricks but only for a treat of course. He had quickly become a part of my boyfriends family as well as a Woodruff celebrity pooch :)

Thank you for selling me such a wonderful dog!!

Hi Gary,
We hope you all are doing well and had a great Spring Break! We are great! Joker is wonderful. He was a little sad the first few days, but now he fits right in and is part of the family! He is a happy boy. He went for his 9 week check up today at the Vet and he got a great report. We are also going to AKC  puppy training and he is the star of the class. He gets a lot of attention from the teacher because he is so cute :) He is really smart and learning quickly. Potty training is going very well. He has only had a few accidents, mostly when it rains and he doesn’t want to go out. We love him so much. Thank you so much for such a wonderful addition to our family.
I’ve attached a few pictures of our handsome boy.

Hi Sayre’s! We wanted to keep you all posted and let you know that we are having a GREAT time with Atliss – he is truly a blessing to us all! He is 12 weeks old today and weighs about 36 lbs. He is definitely getting taller now and is using his raised feeder to eat. He eats about 3 cups of food a day and has very few accidents in the house. However, we have had to really work with him on going outside to use the bathroom b/c he HATES the heat. He doesn’t mind wearing his collar, but is not crazy about the leash yet. We are working daily with him on this b/c as you know he’s getting tough to pick up and carry. He sleeps in his crate at night and is really good with that. Sometimes he’ll even go in it just for fun. He still has the towel that you gave us when we brought him home in his crate. He is very protective of Collen which I suspect is going to make disciplining her more difficult! :) He gets along well with Tyten (our Shar-Pei) and stayed with a couple from Beaufort who own 2 mastiffs while we were on vacation. He did great with them and gained about 5 lbs/week while we were gone. Training is going pretty good I think . . . Atliss will sit, come, and sometimes stay. I think that’s pretty good at his age. I am attaching some pictures of him . . . I think you’ll be amazed to see how pretty and how big he has gotten! We’d love to hear from you and thanks for all the hard work you ALL put in with him and his litter! He is just perfect for our family!
Sincerely,
The Ashley’s

Hi Gary,
Just wanted to give you an update. So far he’s adjusting well. He’s starting to eat full meals now and cries when he needs to go out, only 1 accident on the patio. Our son was so excited to see him and chose to name him Baxter. We told him our old dog Simba sent him down from heaven so he wouldn’t be sad and miss him anymore. We gave him a family bath on Friday since he’s going to be an indoor dog. He’s definitely a cuddle bug and stays under my feet! We are taking him this week to the vet for his shots and a check-up.

Thanks for your hard work, so many breeders are not preparing puppies for the transition! This seems to help a lot . I’m sure I’ll have many questions along the way, I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life but never one that’s going to be a giant. I’ll keep you guys posted and let your wife know he’s in great hands J
We’re excited to have him J

Dog is home safe and sound.  She is a peach.  She is almost potty trained already.  Just goes when you leave her in open space so we wont do that.  Seems to be pretty smart as well.   She was around a bunch of dogs up in Tennessee and over the two days she really started to express herself. We will keep you posted on her progress.   Just know that she is in good hands and will be taken care of very well.   As I write this she is sleeping under my desk with  her head resting on my foot.

Take care and thanks again for being so accommodating.

Gary, Can you let us know when you have another litter. We love Maggie so much we would love  to get her a playmate. We have a 7 y/o English bulldog and they play together but Lola tires a lot quicker than Maggie. Lol.

We don’t care what the time frame is. We don’t want to get on from anyone else. :) .

Thanks !    Ruth

Hello Gary
Just a little update on Alice (Allie). Bennie and I would like to thank you for the happiness Allie has brought us so far she is such a beautiful and loving puppy. After just losing Saber our
8 year old Rottweiler, I did not think we would ever get another dog. Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family. She will be greatly missed. Allie is going to be a great new addition to our family, and she is adjusting very well. We are still working with her on a few things like wearing a collar and the dreaded leash, and going to the bathroom.When we take her outside she finds so many other things that get her mind off of what she was suppose to be doing. She is alittle……well a lot spoiled! She does not like the heat and when she does have to go outside when she comes back in she lays on the vents. Spook our 3 year old cat is a little intimidated by Allie’s size. I am sure it won’t take long for them to become the best of friends. I took Allie to the vet yesterday and everything went great. She weighs 31.3 pounds.Everyone loves her as soon as they see her and always ask what kind she is, and say wow she is going to be a big dog. I will send you pictures and updates as she grows. Again thank you for the opportunity you gave us to share our lives with such a sweet and amazing dog. We both look forwardto all the wonderful times to come in the future. Good Luck and keep up the great work you and your family do at 2 Ponds. Oh almost forgot her registered name is Grady’s 2 Ponds Alice in Wonderland.
Sincerely,
Bennie and Pamela Goldsboro, NC

Just writing to give you a brief update on the puppy’s transition into our family. First, we named him Polo. We teetered around with a few different names including Simba to match our other female dog, Nala, but Polo seemed to fit him best. Second, he is learning to sit, come and stay quite well, especially when there are treats involved! He loves his biscuits! Third, and most importantly, we love him so much and he is such a joy to our entire family. The kids, Nala, our other family and friends are all so impressed with him that my husband often times has to intervene to get Polo a break from the excitement. He loves to lay around on the cool kitchen floor and take naps. We will be taking him out for his first visit to the park today and I’m really excited. I hope you got the pictures I sent, if not let me know and I will send them again.
Take care….Tessie.

Nicole was to the vet today and the vet was very pleased with her.  She is adjusting very well, but cries a lot when she is not being pampered and adored, so I’ve been up since 2 this morning. But really, she is absolutely adorable and doing well. I will be in touch with you from time to time and when my husband gets home, I’m sure there will be some digital photos coming your way!
Thank you again for everything,
Patty

“2 Ponds Layla Grace”  is now almost 7 months old.  She is doing great and a wonderful addition to our family.  She makes friends with everyone she meets and loves all animals.  She is a house dog that loves her bed and our laps, Ouch!  But we have now found the breed that we desire to keep and have.

Thanks,

Doug Little

Hello and Merry Christmas to you and your family,

I am sorry that I have not stay in touch better about Abby.  But with kids and everything else I think about it and then something else comes up.  So here we go.

You did pick out the sweetest dog with a great personality.  She is great around people and just wants to be petted.  I have found out the hard way the we only take short walks ( several blocks) at a time.  We had walk about 1/2 mile and still had 1/2 mile to get home and she laid down and looked at me like “Ok mom I am done” .  We stayed there about 15 min while she rested.  But she still likes to walk and does great on a leash.

She weights 130 lbs and loves to go to the vet because they give her tricks to get on the scale.  Of course they all come up and pet her.  When she stretches out on the floor she is over 6 feet long.  Right now she stands 30″ at her shoulders and 40″  to the top of her head.  Her coat is soft like her moms and the black fur around her face is very soft.  We get all kinds of compliments of her when she is taking out.

You will be amazed at how much she looks like her mother.

Thanks again for picking out a great dog.  She is a big part of our family,    -Nina

Chip,

I was on your website today and was reading the testimonials that there weren’t any from anyone who has had there mastiff for a long time, so I figured I would write one. I got my mastiff from you in early 2007 when he was 8 weeks old and he (Titus) has been the best dog I have ever owned. He loves all people and dogs. I take him everywhere with me and he loves to travel. He has been all over the east coast. He loves the ocean, I’m not sure if it is because of the water or all the attention he gets when he is on the beach. He is almost 4 years old now and I would have to say my only regret is that I wish I would have bought 2 from you to begin with so he would have a playmate. From the day I got him he grew fast and I think he is finally done. He weighs about 190 pounds right now. He hasn’t had one health problem since I have had him and I would recommend your kennel to anyone. I’m sending a picture along I think he looks just like his dad General Beauregard. As you can see from his picture he sleeps with me and I don’t get to much of the bed for myself. Thank you for everything.

Hi Gary,
We couldn’t be happier with Zeus. We love him so much we got another one from you and pick him up in a few weeks. He is so loving and great with my kids. We have a Bloodhound she is my daughters. Now getting a Brindle male from you for my husband who just got back from Afghanistan. The love that comes out of your puppies really adds to any family or single. I can’t imagine my life w/o Zeus. And neither could my kids. Keep breeding these dogs so people like us can make our families complete. Zeus is 1 year 8 months old and weighs 165 lbs. He is 31 inches tall. He has more to grow! I have friends and family that come over just to see him. I don’t go anywhere without him. I look forward seeing you again and picking up McGee.
Thanks again,
Grace
