Dear Teresa,
I'm sorry it has taken us so long to send you pictures, my wife and I have just been so busy with the nice weather playing with the kids and the dogs before the winter sets in.  I've enclosed a picture of Tyson and Ali that are just about 5 months old now.  We got them in August and they have been the best addition to our family, since our two boys.  These dogs have the greatest disposition and are phenomenal with the kids!  Thank you so much!


Tyson and Ali


Hi Theresa,
Just thought I would send some pictures of Casey. he is such a wonderful addition to our family and we love him so much. These are our fall pictures of him. Jack and Casey are the best of friends. They do every thing together. They walk three miles every day. Casey is so loving and such a people dog. He will sit by us all day if we just petted him. no problem.......just pet me. He also sucks on his bed which is really funny. He still paws it and holds it in his mouth. He greets me every day at the door when I come from work with his blanket in his mouth. This must be a retriever thing!!! We love him so much an are enjoying every minute with him. He's so much fun to be with. loves to run in the back yard...loves to play retrieve. loves to sit at the front door and watch the people go by. You and your dogs really create the BEST puppies. ( I still call him my puppy).

with best regards. Sharon

 

Hi Terri,

It is almost been a year since we got our little Riley. He has grown to be a wonderful dog.

Here are some pictures of him. As you can see, he is quite spoiled here with us. He has been going to classes at Connecticut K9 and is doing excellent.

Do you have any room for Riley the week of July 5th thru July 12th? We are going to be at Misquamicut for the week and I was wondering if you has any room to watch him for the week.

Thank you,

Mark Pavao

We are writing as proud parents of one of Terry's Goldies.

 
Just a little history: Bill & I live only 10 minutes away from her kennel but had not heard of her operation until we began searching the web this winter for a new pup.  
 
We saw that she boarded dogs as well so our old Lab spent 2 weeks with her in March.  We had always had family & friends care for him while on vacations, but as he aged, it became too much of an imposition.  You can read about that great experience on her website.  We were so impressed with Terry's care and clean facility that we then decided to get our pup from her.

We brought Maggie home Memorial Day weekend at 7 weeks, & she has become a wonderful addition to our family.  I would bore you with all the adjectives I could use to describe her, so I'll try to be brief!  Maggie is very lovable without being clingy or needy.  She is friendly towards other dogs & people, and loves children.  She is smart & observant, & she learns quickly.  We just graduated from Puppy Kindergarten & start Basic Manners in 2 weeks (all positively based training).  Is she being a puppy & getting  into trouble?  Oh yeah!  But we're also simply amazed at how fast she's learning to be civilized!  She sits & waits at the door until we say it's ok to go out.  She hasn't had an accident in weeks. She comes, sits, & is learning down.  She loves to fetch & most always drops it when asked. 
 
She enjoys the beach so we go a couple of times most every weekend.  She's just starting to go in water over her head.
 
Another part of her personality we admire is her confidence.  Nothing scares her.  A loud truck passing by, fireworks, lightening, you name it.  She'll stop & look, quietly check it out, then get back to what she was doing.  In puppy kindergarten they have about 10 minutes of socializing where the pups have free play together.  On the first day, lots of pups just sat or crawled under their owner's chairs.  Not Maggie, she was out exploring & meeting everyone with her head up & tail wagging. 
 
See, I told you I would bore you!
 
Anyway, we are glad we found Terry.  We could tell right away that this more than a business for her.  She loves her dogs & wants her customers to be happy.  Living close by, we were able to pick out Maggie when she was 2 weeks old.  We would visit, of course at a distance until it was safe, every weekend.  Terry saw this as important & would be patient when we wanted to visit twice on a weekend!
 
So Bob, feel free to email us for more info.  I'm looking at Maggie nestled up next to Bill on the floor.  I know it's a big decision to try & find just the right dog.  They become such an important part of our lives.  Hopefully, these pics come out.

Dear Terry,

thank you so much for taking such good care of Lobo while we were away last summer for over a month. We missed him a lot, but we were happy to know that he was in your caring hands, and in the company of his good friends Honey, Sugar and the other dogs, playing and having a good time, as in the past summers and Christmas vacations! Even though we have to drive 100 miles each way from Lexington, Mass., all the way to Rhode Island, we know it is worthy because of the wonderful care you give him, and every time we get him back, he looks happy and in a very good shape and relaxed. And we are so grateful to you for having picked him for us when he was a little adorable fuzzy puppy three years ago.
He is such a lovely and beautiful golden retriever, with a sweet and
playful personality, and our nine-year old son Edoardo absolutely
adores him - and so do we and does everybody who meets our dear Lobo.
You can be very proud that such a great dog comes from your kennel farm!

Many thanks again and all the best,

Deborah, Enrico & Edoardo

 


hello terry ~ it has been such a long time.  I hope you are well and enjoying summer and all the craziness that you had planned ~ weddings and puppies and building ~ you always have your plate full.
 
well barnabus and eloise are two years old today and I couldn't let their birthday pass without sending you all our love with tons of hugs and kisses. 
 
The pups (I will always call them that) are so wonderful and make me laugh and smile every day.  They have even become very well-behaved if you can believe that one.  They do still enjoy a good nap on a chair or sneaking up on the couch but hell, I like that too.
 
Barnabus still loves to suck the edge of his bed/blanket/quilt and when he gets really excited, he drags it all around the living room.  Joe and I sing that it is 'Bussie on Parade' and he gets all wiggly and so proud.  He is the sweetest dog you can imagine.
Barnabus
 
Eloise is also as sweet and soft spirited but she is a little devil and is smart enough to try to conceal her naughtiness.  She does something wrong and when I catch her, she turns her back and ignores me in hopes of me going away.  How do I get mad?  There is a real lack of discipline but thankfully they are very well behaved and are even better when there are carrots or blueberries around
.Eloise
 
I hope some day soon our paths can cross as we all miss seeing you but I also want you to meet these fabulous, sweet and kind creatures ~ they are our absolute joys ~ I cannot tell you enough. 
 
I hope all is well and you are happy and healthy. 
 
Take care and talk soon,
Chelsea  
 


Dear Terry,
 
Just wanted to send you an updated picture of Dakota.  She is already 15 lbs and doing wonderful.  The vet said she sure is one beautiful dog and has commended you as a breeder.  She didn't even know of you, but now she does.  She is so lovable and smart.  For a first dog experience, she is tremendous.   She certainly had no problem transitioning to her new home.  I can't even remember what life was like before her!   You can definitely tell she came from a loving home!  Thanks for taking such good care of her.  When we have travel plans in the future we plan on having her board with you if there is availability, so I am sure you will see her again!  Thanks again.
 
Sincerely,
Bonnie Sawyer

Hi Terry,

 
Thank you for taking such good care of Coal.  We could see that you kept a clean kennel when we visited but didn't realize just how clean until Coal came home.  When he stayed at other kennels, he'd come home with a strong doggy smell.  Not this time...he was with you for 2 weeks and no odor! 
 
You were concerned that Coal wouldn't go out the first
couple of days & had accidents.  I just want you to know that now that he's home, he's been spending a lot of time outdoors with no accidents.  And we can see the result of 2 weeks of no doggie bones.  Coal's now cutting back on his calorie intake & getting carrots for snacks in order to keep his trim figure.  This should help with his arthritis.
 
I thought you'd like to hear that Dr. Turco spoke highly of you & your breeding practices. We can't wait to pick out our new puppy.  I know we can't see them, but we'd love an email
just to know they've arrived.  We're like expectant parents!
 
Thanks again,
 
Jill & Bill

Hi Theresa,

Here are some pictures of Casey's first birthday party. Riley and Bosco came for cake!!!. I can't tell you how happy we
are with Casey. It has been a wonderful 11 months with him He is such a sweetie. You should be very proud of Beaches and Lucky ..they produced a great litter. Not only is Casey handsome but also so smart and full of fun. He loves other dogs and he loves people. He has become a wonderful addition to our family. we love him so much. I can't wait to meet Tess, the Iannoti's puppy. I will certainly send anyone who wants a great dog to you, not only for your retrievers but I'm sure all your puppies are great dogs because of you and your love for your dogs. When we camp this summer at highland orchards I hope to bring my handsome lad to see you. Take care . Good luck with your up-coming litters. talk
to you soon.

Hi Terry,

Hope all is well with you. I have been meaning to write & send some
pictures, but our camera was giving us some problems so we ended up getting a new one. I just wanted to tell you that Lola is doing great. She is such a good puppy. She is not totally housebroken, but is working on it & is almost there. She slept through the night the 2nd night I got her & has never had an accident in her crate. We all love her so much! Even my oldest son who just met her as he just came home from college for the week is already attached to her. My daughters were so surprised when I brought her home. They love to play with her. I was a little nervous about how our other dog would react to her, but he just loves her. They play together all the time & he is actually very protective of her. I have to tell you this is the first time we have ever even paid for a dog, but she is worth every penny. If you ever need a reference as far as the puggles go, just let me know.

 Well, I hope you like the pictures & thanks again for everything.

Hi Terry.

It's been a long time since I wrote. I'm the lady with the two
Chinese girls who came last March and picked up "Abby". I just wanted you to know, that amongst the many things this holiday for which I am thankful, you and Abby are at the top of the list. I promise to send pictures soon. She's probably between 55 and 60 lbs. Has slightly wavy oatmeal colored hair and is very, very loving. She is, without a doubt, my best friend. We did an obedience course which just ended and I have much work ahead. Admittedly, Abby is easily distracted, but that will sort itself out with age and exposure to lots of different experiences. She started out very frightened of the car, but now races to beat me to the garage door to go wherever my adventures lead.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know we were thinking about you and appreciate what you do. You are raising some lovely, healthy animals who are making great companions to us all.

Best wishes during the holidays (and I promise I'll bet the girls to do the technology thing and send you photos...she's gorgeous!).

Gratefully,

Gail (Ratte')

P.S. How's Mercy??? Remember, she was my inspiration!


Hi Theresa,

Hope all is well with you and all the puppies. They are all so sweet. I can't tell you how lucky we feel the day we met you and your golden puppies. When Jack saw casey it was all over. He loves this dog so much. We have had many(4) dogs over fourty uears , but never one like casey. He is such a beautiful dog. Everyone that meet him loves him. We have a mom at Emily's scholl that is looking for a golden puppy and there are three mom's with golden retrievers. When the girl asked about their breeders they all told her to contact me because their goldens were a little crazy and casey is not. I gave here your website to contact you. I hope she did. We love casey and again thatnk you for everything and....... for taking such good care of him while we were in florida. If you ever have a person who is onterested in your puppies and want s to talk to someone who has had one of your puppies please give them to me.We love him so m uch. He has made our lives so much fun in the past 7 months that we've had him. I will send you a picture of him at Christmas. with the tree and presents. Keep in touch. I know you are very busy.

HI TERRY;

 
INSTEAD OF WESLEY, WE THINK HE LOOKS MORE LIKE AN OLIVER - SO WE NAMED HIM OLIVER!
 
HE IS A JOY AND IS GETTING ALONG WELL WITH HIS SISTER TESS!
 
HE IS ABSOLUTELY RAVENOUS WITH THE 1/3 CUP OF DRY FOOD 3 TIMES A DAY, BUT I READ THAT WE KEEP HIM ON THAT UNTIL HE IS 3 MONTHS OLD - PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GET IT BEFORE HIS SISTERS AND BROTHERS DO?
 
HE KNOWS HIS NAME AND NEXT IS THE SIT COMMAND! HE IS REALLY WELL CRATE TRAINED AND HAS ONLY MISSED 3 TIMES SO FAR! HE LIKES TO CHEW - THAT'S FOR SURE! WE HAVE PLENTY OF TOYS TO STICK INTO HIS MOUTH INSTEAD!HA!HA!
 
THE NU VET CAME ON FRIDAY ( HE DIDN'T MISS 1 ONE DAY), AND I HAVE HIS FIRST VET APPOINMENT ALREADY SCHEDULED!
 
WE LOVE HIM!

Dear Terry,
 
I just wanted take a few minutes to update you on our Golden, Molly and how happy we are with her.   It has been a year since we came to Cheyenne Farm Kennel and picked her out.  Molly celebrated her first birthday on August 18th. Her disposition is wonderful.  She is kind and loves to snuggle with us and our other Golden, Bailey.  Molly and Bailey get along wonderfully. Molly is incredibly smart, learns commands easily and loves to watch baseball on TV. Molly is wonderful with children.  She is on the smaller side of the breed spec, about 55 pounds and very well put together, with large, sturdy paws and no hip issues.  I often get comments on how well put together she is.  She looks like Beaches and has a beautiful coat and teeth.  Like her mom, Beaches, she loves the outdoors and playing in water.  
 
When we were looking for a second Golden to add to our home, we went to many different breeders and were so disappointed with them.  The moment we saw Cheyenne Farm Kennel, we knew that we would find our dog here.   I have never seen such a clean facility or met a breeder that cared more about her dogs.  When I look at Molly, I am grateful to you for what you do.  We all love her very much.
 
Kindest regards to you, Holly, Beaches, Lucky and everyone else at Cheyenne Farm Kennel,
 
Anna Rothenberg

Good morning Terry ~


Barnabus
 

Joe and I want to thank you for all you did to make our experience with Cheyenne Farm Kennels such a positive one.  We knew very early on that we made the right decision to go with you and your facility.  We have always been confident with you as our first choice in breeders.  Your professionalism and kindness will make it easy for us to recommend you to others for years to come.
You were so kind to allow us to be a part of our puppies' life from the moment they were born.  It was such a thrill for us to have the chance to watch the puppies grow and develop from Day 1. 
From the start, you were very thorough in explaining such things as feeding and shots, vet information and even potty training tips to us.  When we brought the pups home and had questions, you were always on call to help, not matter how random the questions might have been.  As first time puppies owners, we always felt we were in good hands with you only a phone call away.
After spending so much time at your facility, it is very reassuring to know that we can board our dogs with you as well.  The kennels are clean and fresh and I know our dogs would be taken care of as if they were your own.  You run a first rate operation (and I look forward to their next grooming session from Holly). 
Kudos to you and Cheyenne Farm Kennels for providing such a wonderful experience as well as providing us with two of the kindest dogs we could have wished for. 
Thank you again,
Chelsea and Joe Parrilla 
Terry,
Good morning,you may absolutely give any one looking for puppies
(for that matter anyone looking for a kennel to board at.) our email address. Since this is our third golden retriever we are very much aware of how well  our puppy was cared for and how well everything was done regarding our purchase. Meadow is doing very well.


We love her so much. She is such a very smart dog.

Hope to see you soon, K.C. needs to be groomed and Meadow needs her nails clipped.
Talk to you soon.
Mary Walsh

Terry,

I have had three golden retrievers before the one I got from Cheyenne Farm Kennel. This one by far has the best disposition of them all. We are amazed how calm and intelligent this dog is at only six months old. I am also happy to drive 25 miles each way to board her when we go on vacation because the kennels are amazingly clean and because I know my dog is being treated with tender loving care. The groomer at Cheyenne does a superb job and we make sure we have her groomed each time we board her. I would recommend Cheyenne Farms to anyone looking for a top notch golden retriever puppy, groomer or boarding facility.

We would like to thank you again for making our new puppy experience such a great one.  I was impressed with your kindness right from the start and loved how you kept us up to date with e:mails and pictures from the very beginning.  Picking out our boy and visiting with him before he came home was such a wonderful experience for us both.  Being on a waiting list can be hard, but we have learned the hard way that it is well worth the wait.  Our first Golden was bought from a backyard breeder from an ad in the paper and the poor thing was plagued with health problems right from puppyhood and all through his life.  After much research, I know we made the right decision when we chose Cheyenne Farm Kennel for our new Golden.  Our Barley is healthy, sweet, loving and so intelligent! 

 
We are so impressed with your awesome kennel (and you!) and are relieved to know that we have finally found a facility that we trust to board our baby when we travel. 
 
Please feel free to give our e:mail address nieceandal@verizon.net to anyone who would like references.  We will gladly sing your praises!
 
Sincerely,

Teresa,
 
Thank you for getting in touch. Fafnir is almost 1 year old now and doing great. My wife and I love this dog. She is one of the most good natured dogs I have ever known. She has been a real joy and a wonderful addition to our family.

Fafnir

 
Fafnir gets along well with other dogs and people. She is extremely outgoing and loves everyone including young children. I give you a lot of the credit for her great personality. I think that your approach to raising young dogs produces pups that are well-adjusted and confident. Fafnir integrated very easily into our family and gets along well with our daughter's Pomeranian (a five year old female). Fafnir adores her "big sister" and looks forward to the times when they can get together.
 
Fafnir is a very smart dog and tolerates being left alone for short (several hours) periods. It has only taken her a few months to take over the house. I have attached a photo so you can see how she turned out. She has one of the most luxurious coats I have ever seen.
 
Again thank you for the work you did in raising Fafnir in her early days, it has made a big, positive difference. If we are ever in the market for another Pomeranian we will be in touch.
