Dear Roberta,
As I was going through Abby's papers for my groomer, who is looking for a schnauzer puppy, I saw your card. After searching the web, I found your website and thought I would send you an update on her.
Abby is the pup of CH Venture's TX Two Step and Windwalkers Prime Design.
Our family purchased her from you in Oct. '02. We lived in Cedar Hill, TX until Aug.'03 . From Cedar Hill TX we moved to Oakville ON, SW of Toronto, (where she just loved the snow) to most recently Rocklin CA, NE of Sacramento. She has been the sweetest and best companion dog that we have ever owned. Thanks for selling her to us. We wouldn't know what life would be like without our sweet little" Abby girl". Include is a picture of her.

Sincerely,
Janeen Streeter

Robert & Anita Gilbreath, Portland, TX, new owners of
Windwalker Toast of the Coast a/k/a “Michael”.
(Topper x Meg male whelped 9/16/05)

11/30/07 -- Two new Michael funnies from Robert and Anita Gilbreath. We stayed at the La Quinta in San Angelo for simplicity sake and when we got settled in our room we let the 2 pups out to stretch after the long ride. After a few minutes Java decided to get back in the crate and she ended up in Michaels and the wire door closed behind her unlocked. When Michael saw her in his crate (both identical) he took exception to her being there. He let out a couple of barks scolding her and we called him down to not bark. After being upset about her being in his crate he went over and with his paw opened the unlocked door then just piled into the crate with her and she quickly got out and got into her crate. He was again happy. We were watching all this sitting on the bed and it was really funny to watch all this transpire. When we got back home it was pretty cold and we used a little heat in the house. In our den, we have a real nice electric stove that is a replica of a small fireplace and the dogs love laying in front of it where the heat blows out. We do not run it at night for safety. The first night back Michael started his little wake up bark to me and like a dummy I got up. It was 3:10 am. He was in the kitchen and when he saw me coming he turned and headed back to the den like he wanted to show me something. When I went into the den to see what was going on he proceeded to bounce up and down to show me where the remote control was for the heater and almost had managed to get it on to the floor. He then stood in front of the stove with his nose on the glass front and would look at me then at the stove. He was telling me he was cold and needed the heater which I turned on for about an hour and he was happy as could be for the rest of the night. I am going try and teach him how to operate the remote. Ha!!
December 6, 2006 After we literally thought about you all week last week and your very unfortunate experience we decided to send you a short e-mail and share our first anniversary memory of knowing Bobbie and Carl and owning a little fellow named Michael. It does not seem possible a year has passed since we met you and came home with a little fireball. It has been a tremendously fun year for us thanks to you. He has been everything we hoped for and more. We are looking forward to some shows in the coming months to keep us in contact with the dog world and staying active. Saw your new babies on your website and it looks like you have some mighty fine looking pups. Bet they are a sight when out exercising. Also, saw how you had our pups lined up as puppies then as winners. Was something to see. It is amazing how much they change in such a short time. We have a new funny. When I get ready to take both dogs for a walk on their leashes Michael grabs hold of Java's and leads her to the door and amazingly she follows. We could not believe our eyes when he did this the first time all on his own with no prompting. Maybe they are trying to tell us they do not need us anymore on their walks. No telling where they would end up. Really is funny. Living with Michael is a lot like opening a box of Cracker Jacks as you wonder what the surprise of the day is going to be.. Hope this week is a little better for you. You are in our thoughts. Watch for us in the "Patter". Robert Gilbreath

From the story related by Robert Gilbreath below, Michael seems to be a very busy boy: We now have baby latches on all of our kitchen cabinet doors. Michael "distributed" around 100 trash bags and zip lock bags on the kitchen floor. He was really proud of himself. So much so, that he went into the room where Anita was with a bag in his mouth and tail just a wagging. Then he led her into the kitchen and proceeded to show her how he could open the door. I had put big rubber bands around the knobs, but that only increased the challenge. Could not do anything but laugh since he was so innocent acting about the whole thing. He is a riot. Leave it to a min pin to create a new game. Thought we would give you a little humor to end the week. Have a good week-end...........Till later.

Arrived back here at 1 A.M. and he slept the whole way. The 10 year old female has been obedience trained so when I say "easy" she knows to be gentle with him. I always leave the crates out with the doors open and .......Java decided the safest place for her was in her own crate and "pulled the door closed herself" That was funny. LOL

Michael’s (a/k/a Mikey) first show and first point

Robert and Anita have been quite successful in the show ring when they showed their dog Krickett

CH. Warlock’s Jumpin’ Krickett

Roberto Castellon sent me these photos of CH. Windwalker Nikita (Niki) and Windwalker Black Diamond Lil (Lolita). He took the photos of Lolita while she was in the show ring and spending time at home. Since Niki is retired – her photos are of her relaxing at home. He says Niki is quite the diva


Bobbie, here are some pictures of Lolita she looks gorgeous!



Bobbie, I wanted to send you some pictures of Niki relaxing at home. As you can see life is hard for Ms. Niki. In a couple of the pics she is sun bathing something she loves to do.


"Harley"
Hello Bobbie, We bought Piper and Louie's little girl. You asked that we send a picture after her ears were cropped. We named her Harley. Here's pictures of her the day after we brought her home and what she looks like now. She has been such a good and fun dog. She and my other girl get along so well. They just love each other. It took around a year of looking for the Min Pin we hoped to find and we certainly found her. I'm in love. Enjoy the pictures. Jo-Ann Kuykendall

Stephen in Korea reports to me that Brittany (Windwalker Brittany – he bought Brittany from me in May) has finished her Korean Championship and has many group placements. Brittany is now working on her International Championship. He sent these photos of Brittany on her way to winning Best In Group and showing in the BIS ring at an International Show.

Here are Stephen’s comments.
“She didn't make a BIS but she was wonderful and won everybody's applause. It was cold that late afternoon for her but she was proud of herself. This is because of you give me this nice girl. Thank you always.”

She just need one more international show to become a international champion and it will be next year May because of one year and one day requirement.

Windwalker Spice Girl is a Speedy (CH Bentwater Orient Express) puppy I sold to Korea and she is doing quite well there. The owner is Stephen Jung. Spice has her Korean Championship and is working on her International Championship.	Stephen reports to me from Korea on 10/05/04 that Spice won another best in group by “competing against Dobe, Great Dane , Rotte and other big dogs.”

On October 10, 2004, Stephen sent me another e-mail about Spice’s show wins in Korea: "Spice won another BIG (Best In Group) yesterday. FCI shows divides Minpin as working group such as Dobe, Boxer, Rotte etc., so it is very hard to win, BOB, because in this group Japan No.1 Dobe and Boxer (from Canada), Rotte (from Germany) are competing. But she is going to have season soon and I am going to breed her". 12/17/04 Stephen has reported from Korea that Spice in now an International Champion and the No. 1 Min Pin. She will be shown again next year.

This is Zeus before his ears are cropped.
Zeus is a Topper x Shelly puppy owned and loved by
Lynne and Ray Coleman.

Lynne wanted me to have pictures before his ear crop.
He obviously loves being spoiled as stated on the headboard of his bed



Here are a couple of pics of Zeus from New Year’s Eve. He is now 6 months old and 11 pounds. A very strong and handsome little fellow!! Call me crazy…..but I actually may want to get him a playmate after I finish housebreaking him. He is a stubborn pup.

Here are a few new pics of Zeus! He likes to look right into the camera sometimes (he thinks it’s a toy). He also thinks he is a cat and likes to sit on the top of the sofa instead of on the sofa.”

Zeus – Drama of the Week (11/30/06)
Well we all know that Zeus has just gotten over his infection and wound from his fire ant fiasco. That was a $125 bill, getting a dog to wear the cone shaped collar and taking antibiotics for a week.
Last night when I got home Zeus was not in his cage like he normally is (his bed is there). He was sitting on one of my kitchen table chairs…which is a no no. I look at his crate and something is in there that is pretty big and does not look like any of the small toys that I buy for him. I start to walk closer and to get a better look and I realize that a big bird is in his cage. I would say the big was the size of a pigeon but I really could not tell what kind of bird it was or if was really dead. All I know is that Zeus dragged it in through the doggie door and put it in his crate. I run into the room to tell Ray hysterically and when I get back Zeus has taken it out of his cage and dropped on the floor for me. He was saving me a present. I think he thought he did a good thing and was trying to show me what he got. It was disgusting. The bird had a rounded beak, the body was grey and spotted, the wings were yellow on the inside and he had red on his head. All I am thinking is that this bird is diseased, dirty and will be stinking pretty soon. Also, is this bird going to make Zeus sick which would mean another trip to the emergency animal hospital that I hate going to because that is where Zappy died. Ray comes and sweeps the bird on to a dustpan and heads out the back door. I forgot to tell you that Ray had just gotten out the shower all clean and refreshed only to clean up after a dead bird and take it outside in the rain and cold weather.
Well we begin to mop the floor and wash Zeus’ bed. I then see evidence on the wall that there obviously was a struggle between Zeus and the bird because there is blood like dirt on the wall and small feathers by the doggie door. I then notice that Zeus does have some scratches on his legs and some areas on his body where the bird may have pecked at him pretty good. See Zeus can jump very very high and we always talked about that and some bird must have underestimated just how high he could jump. I know I have seen bird feathers in the backyard before but I did not know Zeus was out there catching birds while we were at work!!!
Ray mentioned that one day a headless bird was in the backyard near the garbage can but he did not tell me.
This morning as I left for work Zeus was usual chipper self so Ray and I are assuming the bird did not make him sick. This brings new meaning to the saying that “you never know where you dog’s mouth has been”. Lastly, as I am pulling out of my garage into the alley I see the same dead bird that was in my house in the alley. He has been run over like 10 times already. So obviously last night Ray just went outside and threw the bird over our wooden gate in to the alley!!!!!
Birds used to drive Zappy crazy as well and he had one at the back door once or twice at our previous house. Why do I get the crazy dogs all the time?????
Cordially,
Lynne Coleman

Hi Ms. Bobbie,
Now that I have turned 1 yr old I feel like I am such a big boy….and boy am I big….tipping the scales at 15 lbs
I also attend doggie day care every Wednesday to break up the monotony of the long week and play with some friends all day. My best friends are a beagle and a Doberman puppy. Below is the link to the doggie cam if you want to see me play on Wednesday. Of course, I am the only red min pin at the daycare so you will spot me right away. They also keep me in a room with bigger more active dogs because I have a tendency to get a little rough with the small dogs. Nap time is from 12-2 but I do not participate in that part of the program. I am usually the only dog walking around during that time. J
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I am living the good life and doing just fine.
Will send pictures the next time my mom catches me posing…..got to get back to playing.
Love,
Zeus

My ears are sooooo cute!	I think my butt is cute, too!

A note from Lacie’s mom:
Hi Bobbie
How are you doing?
I have thought about Maddie often ... how is she doing? Do you still have her with you?
I have to tell you about Lacie's trip to California. I went to California for my best friends son's graduation from Stanford as a MD and I took Lacie with me. She was perfect to travel with and she loved the attention from everyone. After the graduation parties and all seeing family again, etc. Lynn and I took off and drove down the coast to Orange County to visit friends and I have to tell you ... Lacie is a beach lover just like me. You should have seen her on the beach. She loved the sand and the water. I had to be very careful with her because she is fearless and she loved when the waves would come up and pick her up and wash her back. She just thought that was the most fun. The salt water did not brother her at all like I thought it would. I had to watch her ... or a couple of time she would have been washed to far out. After our beach stop and play time, I would wash the sand off and the salt water from her and back in the car she would sleep until the next time the car would stop. I bought a bottle of eye wash to keep her eyes washed out and she did find. She would chase the beach birds and the sea weed ... boy did she think she had found the best toys. We truly had a great time. I should have dozens of her ... I could have sold her so many times ... I could be famously rich now. Everyone wanted to buy her and take her home. Anyway, she could become a California girl just like me in no time. Anyway, I just had to tell you about her and the fun we had on the California beaches.
How are you and your troupe of dogs. Any show trophies lately? Take care, JD
