Cedar Creek Retrievers Testimonials
Here are a few personal letters, from what I consider, our extended families.
They are sincere e-mails from the wonderful families we have chosen for our
wonderful pups. We feel each of our pups are in the special homes they deserve!!

Hey Donna,
Well it's been a year and thought of giving you an update on our puppy.
Owners: Wally and Kathy Scott of Pinopolis. Sable was born 1-3-08 and the
daughter of "Mable" and "Tugboat". Sable is what I call a "blue puppy"
because you revived her at birth (thanks).
Well, Ms Sable is a ball of fire. She is not quite 55lbs. and has 8-cylinders, 2
four barrel carburetors, 4 wheel paws (which she also likes to dig with) and
has an unlimited fuel supply (no empty in her tank).
She dove hunted this year and in my opinion out did all others dogs in the
field. She never picked up any other hunters' birds, but other dogs picked
up her birds and she would be sitting (holding) at my side waiting for her
command that never came. This was aggravating to say the least! I still have
to work on her holding and sitting still because she is so excited when we
get into the field. She still has a lot to learn, but is learning fast.
She also likes to watch her Granddaddy "Boomer" hunting on Versus TV.
Her first dove season '08 - '09 she retrieved over 120 birds during the three
seasons and only ate one at this first of the season, but that came back up
20 minutes later. Overall, she has done GREAT!!! A++++++'s
Can't wait until next season.
Proud Parents,Wally and Kathy


Hi Donna, Spike and I had to share the great news that Berkeley passed his
AKC Good Canine Citizen test last night at the young age of 7 months! We
are so proud of him—he has made tremendous progress since Puppy
Kindergarten! Spike is working on getting the latest photos of him “helping”
in the garden online, and we will send them on. He looks more like JD every
day!
Hi Donna,
we love all the updated info on the website! Berkeley (10 months) just
started his new class here in Charleston with the hope that we are working
toward a CD level sometime this year. We are having a great time with him!
Hope you and Rick and your family are well! When we head north for
Thanksgiving we will give you a call and if you all are free we will definitely
stop by. Take care—Lindy
Ps—we are horrible picture takers but we are going to work on some pix
this fall!

Hi Donna.
Just looked at your web site, again, and every time I do I think about how
grateful I am that I found you and your wonderful dogs. All of your dogs are
so beautiful and handsome.
Of course, I do think that I have the prettiest and smartest one of all. It's
hard to believe that Sunny is almost one year old now. It seems like
yesterday that I brought her home.
I can't say enough good things about her or her temperament. She loves all
people and children especially. I hope that in about a year from now she will
love a new sister. I am trying to wait until she is about two years old before I
get another one, so be sure that I will call on you for a puppy next fall or
winter.I was wondering if you could email me some information about
certifications such as the CGC, field trials, just about whatever you can think
of. I know that Sunny is an exceptional dog and her talents should not be
wasted. I also think that one day she will make a great therapy dog, so if you
have any info about that, I would appreciate it also.
Thanks again for being such a great breeder and lover of the best dog
breed in the world, Labs. They truly are the greatest dogs on the
planet.Judy Lee

I wanted to send you photos of little Bailey. Hopefully her mom
will be proud. She's quite the social butterfly and scared of
nothing. The first weekend I had her she jumped in the ocean
and started swimming. Hope all is well.

Hey, This is Christopher. I bought a black Lab from you and named it Desperado. It was one of the two
black one's left in the litter and he was the biggest out of them. Ok hope you remember now. Anyhow, I
just wanted to say that he's 13 weeks old now and he's a very good looking dog. The vet says that his
weight is perfect and he's in great health. He gets his last shot today. I'm having to put on the advantix
flee drops almost twice as often because he's in the water like 3 times a week. I take him to the pond
and he's already retrieving his training toy. He knows how to "sit, shake, and lay down." I'm still working
on "stay." When I feed him he sits at the edge of the kitchen with his bowl like 6 feet away, I put the
food in his bowl and then wait, he stays there sitting until I give the command. He's really smart, loving,
and the BEST dog I've ever had. I told my girlfriend that I wanted to trade her for another lab. He's kept
in the house during the day because I won't have a back yard until December. I would like to come visit
one evening or weekend to let y'all see how big he's gotten. I'm really glad that I picked y'all to get my
lab from. Every time someone asks I'm always telling them about your website and praising you and your
dogs. Please if there's any good time to come by I would appreciate it.
Thanks a million, Christopher
Hi Donna,
You asked us to let you know about our first vet visit concerning
worms. Our black female, Molly, did have hook worms and we are
treating her now. I spoke with our friends, the Smith’s, in
Summerville and they said their golden female was clear so I’m not
sure how that works. But otherwise Molly is very happy and growing
like a weed. Our vet was very impressed with all the things I told her
about you as a breeder. She said we picked a good one – I told her
we knew that!! One more thing to brag about – Molly has been potty
trained since we brought her home. She goes outside every time
with the exception of 3 “accidents” which we caught in progress. So
again the vet was impressed and we think we have a very smart girl.
She is like a sponge - watching and responding to everything. It was
great meeting you and we’ll try to send some pictures soon.
Sincerely,
Marguerite Tempel

Hey Donna!
Everything is going well with Riley and I!! She is such a joy and love and a very
smart girl!! She truly loves everyone!! I have gotten so many wonderful
compliments from strangers and the vet staff about how beautiful and sweet she
is!! Her vet appointments have all been going well! We went this morning actually
and she is doing excellent as Dr. Buckley says!! She now weigh 26lbs and is
getting bigger every week! We both enjoy our daily walk/runs and playing in the
water! She loves the water and retrieving which is what we will be doing this
weekend at the lake at my dads!! Here a couple pictures of her I took today! I hope
all is well and can't wait to see the new additions from Skeet and JD when they
arrive!! I have given a couple people your website as they are interested in a lab
puppy and I told them that you are the best! Anyways I will send more pictures
soon! Take care. Allison
