Rosebud (Kyra x Samson)

Hi, Hannah -  I just wanted to let you know that Rosie is doing very well!  We are all absolutely in love with her!  She has been having lots of fun with Olivia and Dylan, and she is learning to come and sit on command already.  Of course, she cried quite a bit the first night home, but last night was so much better.  She didn't cry at all going into her crate and settled down quickly. Today was her first vet appointment, and she did great!  She was so good for the vet and the techs - they all wanted to take her home!  I hope that you and Kyra are getting some much needed rest after your busy weekend! Take care, and we will check in with you soon.

Update:11/2009
 
Hi Hannah--I am happy to report that Rosebud is doing just fine.  She was over 60 pounds at her last vet appointment, and she still seems to be growing every day!  She is super sweet and very affectionate.  She is of course great with the kids, who love her dearly.  Her training is going pretty well.  She learned all of the basic commands within days of coming home.  Currently, we are taking her to obedience training once a week, and she is enjoying that experience.  Although, I am sure that she would prefer to play with everyone, rather than learn how to walk properly!   Take care and we will catch up with you soon.

Copper (Leela x Scout)

Copper is a great family pet.  He is very social and lovable.  He loves everyone.  He has a great personality and is very smart.  He was tracking rabbits at five months.  We would highly recommend having a beagle for a pet.

As a certified professional dog trainer, I know that a critical part of having a
well mannered dog starts with the initial socialization of the puppy. The best
breeders start this process as soon as the puppies are born. I was very impressed with the socialization Amber Valley Kennel's provides their puppies. They are exposed to every day household sights and sounds, are handled daily by a wide range of people and are exposed to house-training in grass before they ever go home. They are also kept until 8 weeks of age so they can learn critical canine skills from their mom and littermates. Hannah was very responsive to my questions and very knowledgeable about the importance of raising a great family pet. I would highly recommend Amber Valley Kennels!

Sidney (Kyra x Samson)
 
Hi Hannah,
Well our Sidney Lane is officially 14 weeks old tomorrow and she weighs 24 lbs. She is housebroken completely and loves to travel. She has been to about 4 Lacrosse games in Virginia and travels beautifully. We actually took her to the nursing home about 2 weeks ago and she was so calm and considerate with everyone she met!! I believe she is very intuitive about when she needs to be calm with certain people. She also does well around wheel chairs and will sit to the side so she can be petted...amazing. Here are a few pictures we just took and also one from 2 weeks ago where she was dressed up for the JMU Lacrosse game.  Thank you again for such a wonderful friend.

Rascal & Hoss (Leela x Scout)

My wife bought our first dogs as a couple from Amber Valley Kennels. We had a difficult time choosing between 2 puppies so we opted for the best alternative and took them both. They have been a joy to our family. We would strongly recommend Amber Valley Kennels for anyone seeking a new "family member". Hannah and her family are very accommodating, and give the best advice available.

Dakota (Kyra x Samson)

Hi Hannah!

Dakota (Codi) is getting so big!! She is learning to swim in our pool and she just loves it! As soon as she goes outside she runs up on the deck waiting for someone to throw her ball in the pool so she can jump in and get it. She has grown from a cute little puppy into a beautiful little girl! And she definitely inherited her mom's good looks! She has become a great addition to our family!! Thank you for all your help and we'll be in touch soon!

Daisy (Leela x Scout)
 
Hi Hannah,
 
We just wanted to say hello and tell you Daisy is doing good. She had a great 1st x-mas and loved all her gifts except maybe the Santa's Little Helper T-shirt, lol.  She is forever changing colors, LOL. I attached some pics of her. At one point her head turned white now it's all reddish tan and she has all this light tan color starting to take over the darker brown on her legs so it will be interesting to see what she turns out to be.  We definitely plan on doing agility with her down the road because she is quite the runner, climber, etc. They did a tunnel at training class one day to see who liked it and she took to it right away.  Hope all's well with you and thanks again for a wonderful beagle baby. :)

Dempsey  (Kyra x Samson)
 
Hi Hannah-
 
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Holiday Season.  We just wanted to give you an update on Dempsey (formerly known as Tank) from Samson and Kyra's litter born in January 2009.  He is quite the handsome guy and has a fantastic personality.  He has kept us quite busy this past year as most golden puppies do.  He weighs 65 lbs and is still growing.  The vets original weight estimate when he was only a few months old was 95 lbs - we think (hope) he'll top out at about 75 lbs.  We've attached a few pictures - as you'll see, he absolutely loves the snow.  He's also great with our grandkids (4 and 2).

Camden (Maggie x Scout)
 
Hi Hannah,
 
Camden is an amazing dog! We get so many compliments on how handsome he is! Our vet was also extremely impressed with him. We took him two days after we got him home and the vet said that we must have had an amazing breeder. Thank you so much!
