~Testimonials From New Puppy Owners~
"Jim & I have one of the Chocolate labs from Ellendale Labradors. He was from Jack and
Reesee's 1st litter. His name is “Hershey” and he was born Dec. 4th, 2006. He is a healthy 96 lbs
and has one of the most beautiful brown shiny coats I have ever seen. He loves to play fetch, go
for rides in the car – (I take him to Ellendale Labradors to play with his friend Zoey – they went to
Puppy School together). He takes naps on the couch with Jim and sleeps with us. He’s sooooo
spoiled but we love him and we would not take anything for him. He’s ours!!!!!
I have seen the litters born @ Ellendale Labrador and they have all been beautiful pups. They
get wonderful care and a lot of individual attention. They are held from the day they are born
and played with until they find homes. I enjoy hearing where all the pups go in the United States
and also outside the country."

"We purchased Murphy from Ellendale Labradors in April. She was born February 14, 2008, to
Jack and Reesee. Right now, at 13 weeks, she is a healthy 24 pounds, with a gorgeous shiny
black coat. She is extremely smart, if not a little stubborn. :) She's already figured out from our
other lab, Layla, that the couch is the best place to nap. We just love her, and highly
recommend Ellendale. They take wonderful care of their labs, and are very personable, nice
people."

"Ellendale Labradors was very informative and helpful while we were searching for a puppy. We
purchased this beautiful dog named Rio (Spanish for River) born to Zoey and Jack on February
28, 2008. Within 24 hours it was obvious the dog was well taken care of and socialized from the
start. He is extremely intelligent and a true joy to have around. Our son and Rio are
inseparable. I just want to thank you again for your help and care!"

"Jacqueline, Here is an update on Leila. We are having a great time getting to know each
other. She has a wonderful disposition and personality. She weighs 20 lbs and just got her 2nd
series of shots last week. The vet was very impressed with her. She has made herself at home,
knows most of her limitations. We took a boat trip on the lake this weekend where we taught
Leila how to swim and retrieve. She is so much fun and very smart. Please let Brooke know our
Leila is doing very well and is very happy.
I also referred you to a couple that was looking for a service companion. I had Leila out at
Lowe's getting plants and they saw her and fell in love with her. I gave them your e-mail
address."
Hope you all are doing well.
Keep in touch, Regards,

"As first time puppy owners, Jacqueline made us feel very comfortable and answered all of our
questions - before and after we took our lab home. Our boy is happy and adjusted - thanks in
part to the care he initially received with Jacqueline and he brings so much joy to our lives. He's
also beautiful and healthy with really big puppy paws that draw many comments!"
Thanks-

Hi,
I just wanted to send an update on little Jackson. He is 90lbs of joy and a little trouble but doing
awesome. He is the most playful dog we have ever seen. The dog camp we board him at
sometimes says he runs and plays more than any dog they have ever seen. He really has a
wonderful Personality.

"Jacqueline-
Tiger is absolutely the joy of our lives. He has such a great personality and keeps us smiling
everyday. As for his color and physique, the guy is an absolute celebrity when we go on walks.
His frame is so strong and his color is so rich and unique that people can not see him and not
compliment us on our growing pup.
You do a great job with these animals and I am so grateful we found your website that night.
We will probably be getting another one down the road when we get a bigger house so we will
keep in touch."

Hello,
"......she's doing very good she's getting bigger and bigger . We named her "Grissy" since in
Spanish "gris" means gray, that name fits her perfect. She's an amazing dog. We take her to the
park and she never gets away from us. She's always next to us and she takes care of us. We
usually walk her before we go to bed and since the park is only 2 blocks from my house, we let
her loose to let her run and she never tries to run away like most dogs as soon as they realize
they're loose they take off she's not like that . Well here are some pictures of her."

I attached pictures of Shimmer, she is the silver female that we got from you.
She is beautiful and Daddy's girl.

Last week at his 2nd vet appt. he weighed in
at 15.8 pounds. He's got so much energy,
learned sit and stay so far. But I can't wait till
it gets warmer so I can take him to the
beach. Here's some pictures of him.

Our angel showed up without a problem :) We can tell he has been around kids...was
jumping all over my son within seconds of meeting him. I must say, what ever you have
done for his social development in the last 5 weeks worked. My gosh, he played with my
moms chug and chihuahua (they are impossible) like it was nothing. He travels well,
socialized with our neighbors English chocolate lab like it was his daddy :) I spent the A
couple of piddles in addition to taking him outside, thats a puppy!
His nature is just delightful! Thank you for how you raised him in the former stage, it
makes a HUGE difference. We are on our way to Petco, his name is Duke :)... Vet visit
today went well.
Thanks again pics to come!!!!

Stella says hi! She is doing great and has adapted to her new home. She is so sweet.
Take care.

He weighed in at 12.5 pounds its amazing how much he has grown. The potty training is
bathroom outside and he's now holding it for longer periods of time. He is extremely
playful and loves to chew...lol. Should have named him Chomper because he bites
everything...lol. Everybody who has seen him just thinks he's so adorable. Most people
around here have never heard of a silver lab and some of the staff at the clinic hadn't
either. I hope to get you some pictures soon. Thank you again. I'll be in touch.

I just had to drop a note to tell you about Shilo. He is getting so big. He weighed in at
28.5 pounds April 1,2009 at the vet. He is such a little man. I take him to work with me
every day. He has become quite the social butterfly. Everyone in town stops by to see
him. We are on the 5th week of puppy class 101 and doing great.
I just wanted to say thank you for all that you and your family did. You made the trip to
NC worth while.
Talk to you later,

Hi Jacqueline,
I just thought i would send you some updated photos of
Rylan. He's the sweetest pup ever.Since I work during the
week he has loved going to Daycare to play with all the
other dogs and we spend the weekend going to a local
Dog park where he continues to meet new friends and has
a blast with his never ending enegy. He has been a
complete joy to have. Everyone who meets him always
commenting on his calm and loving temperment. Thanks
again for Rylan!

Lucy made with no problems. She and Bert are getting along just fine so far. He gets a little
seem to realize that anything is going on yet, that pottying outside, is the big thing.
It took Bert months to get that. Hopefully she won't be as slow. Bert has actually been more of a
hindrance than a help in that. He jumps her and gets all rowdy anytime we go out and if I don't
take him too, he has such a screaming hissy fit through the door, he distracts her to much. I was
so tired, I slept thru her whimpers at one point last night and she went almost 3 hours without an
accident in her crate. Bert was able to go all night by 4 months. Hope it is with her as well.
She has her first vet visit with shots, etc... on Monday.
Boy is she a pig. I was trying to gradually add a little of Bert's food with hers over the next week
or two, but she dumped his food pail and gorged. No diarrhea, no vomiting, didn't slow her
down a bit. He got about an 1/8 of a cup of her food and had diarrhea the next two bm's. He's
delicate. Doesn't look like she is going to be that sensitive. Thank God.
I can't get over the size difference between them. I don't remember Bert being little at all. I will
send pictures once I get the chance to weed through my memory card. Will get the pictures
organized and forward some of Bert and Lucy for you.
Take care,

Hope you are well. Thought I would send you a current photo

Thanks for the card it was so thoughtful, Tulum is growing
and so much fun, he will start school on Monday with a Top
Breeder in our area, who also has a day care which he
attends and plays with all of his labs, he told me last week
that he had a girlfriend now with a blonde lab. Too Funny, he
is full of himself. I have attached some photos about a week
ago in snow on our trip to Blowing Rock.

Jacqueline,
Sorry it has been so long since we sent you an update. Hope your
Christmas and New Years went well. Thank you so much for the
Christmas card. Sarah and I really enjoyed receiving it. Jersey is
doing excellent. She is a very loving dog who has been just
perfect for us. She plays really well with other dogs, whether it has
been a Yorkie or a Great Dane! We always take her to the dog park
which she loves, and even finally got into the water for the first
time this week (even though it was a tad chilly). She LOVES beach
trips. As soon as she sees a sand dune she gets SOOO excited
and knows where she is. We don't even really need a leash with
her either as she behaves so well. She had a ton of fun in the
snow too. We heard that Stryker could possibly be expecting, how
exciting!!! They're truly beautiful dogs and we cant even begin to
tell you how many compliments jersey gets, shes the "hottie"
around our way! Hah! Thanks again for keeping in touch and hope
this new year brings you only the best!
-Talk to you soon, enjoy the pictures of our "little" girl!!

Hey just letting u know we made it back to Indy safe with Wayne and he did
AWESOME on the really well last night too. No whining! We just gotta get him
potty trained. Ha. But that will come as he gets older. We'll keep u updated with
pictures and emails. Thanks again for such a great experience and a great pup!

Hey! Wayne has been AMAZING! No whining at all. He loves playing with the
other pups in the house and has the best personality. I'm in Cabo right now so
i'm missing him too. Seth is at home with him and says he's doing great. Seth
tells me all the time he is so glad I picked you as the breeder because he
couldn't be any happier with Wayne. That makes me feel so good cuz i know i
made him wait a long time and drive pretty far ; ) but it was all worth it! I will
give him a hug for you when i get home next sunday. There is a Yellow Lab
here in Cabo and it makes me miss Wayne cuz it's a male and i usually don't get
to be around many males but i love how energetic and playful they are. We
took him to the vet and he checked out good . We have to take him again in
the beginning of April for more shots. Everyone is always commenting on his
color and his eyes. Everyone loves him. Thank you so much for such a great
pup! Talk to you soon!
~Megan

her she is our baby!! 06/12/2010



Jacqueline,
My wife and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for providing us with a wonderful puppy. Keeley is a beautiful and
healthy puppy brimming with personality. Our daughters fashion themselves as “Little Princesses” and Keeley has quickly
adopted their point of view for herself. She gets along well with our children and our other dog (and this only at 7 weeks) and
is already showing signs of intelligence. It is quite obvious she came from good bloodlines and was born into a caring
environment.
Besides the puppy itself, we also wanted to thank you for making the entire process relatively seamless. You kept us updated
on the pregnancy, birth, and the critical days that followed. Everything from the payments to the agreement and picking her
up was easy. Plus it was kind of you to show us your beautiful dogs and spend time with us to give good advice on raising
Keeley.
But what is most important to us is the care and time you put into breeding these wonderful dogs. It is important for people
who are considering you as a breeder to know the care, time, effort and devotion you put in to raising your puppies and dogs.
The fact that you put in countless hours and sleepless nights making sure the puppies were fed and cared for when their
mother could not do it gives us affirmation that we chose the best breeder. It also tells us that for you, this is truly a labor of
love and not a way to earn a quick buck. If families want a great pet from a loving breeder with high integrity, they will be well
served to choose Ellendale Labradors. Thanks again for all that you did.
Attached is a picture of Keeley at seven weeks. She is growing like a weed!
We wish you nothing but success!
Warm regards,
Rob & Kathy

PS Of course, we would expect nothing less than character and integrity from a fellow Pittsburgh Steelers fan. (Sorry, I had to
throw that in there)

I always find it so amazing how something so small can give the amount of love it gives. She is just shy of
9 pounds, lays at my feet wherever I am sitting (which is usually at the computer), swims in the pond & goes
on walks with us and the big dogs and when she can't wake me up in the middle of the night to potty she
wakes John up who gets me up. She is sitting on command, and retrieving 9 out of 10 times that I throw her
squeaky toy or a stick. I just love her to pieces. I think my husband does too but he won't say it out loud! :-)

I took Annie with me to the nursing home again this weekend. She is such a sweet heart. Isn't it
amazing that even at her young age she knows when to be gentle? I don't even have to put a
leash on her when we are there. She trots down the hall right beside me & stops to visit
everyone she meets. It is amazing to see the residents faces light up the way they do. This
weekend there were some family members with residents who were unable to talk or make their
bodies move that asked to pick her up. When they did & she was put up next to the resident's
face their eyes would light up SO BIG! :-) She brought a lot of joy to a bunch of people yesterday.

Hi Jacqueline
Long time no talk. How are things going? I see that you have expanded
you dogs, good for you. We have also decided to get in the breeding
business. Chinook is doing awesome. She weighs about 64 lbs and is a
sweetheart.
Penny, Light Silver Female
Alberta Canada
Website: Silver Pawz
"Chinook is our Silver Breeding Female weighing in at approximately 65 lbs and measures 22" at the shoulders. She is
shorter in length from our other female but she is just as stocky. Her coat has a very silky texture to it and she is the
lightest of our two Silver females. We purchased her from Ellen Dale Labradors of North Carolina at the age of 8 weeks.
Chinook is a very loving dog and is always looking for attention. She listens well and always wants to please. She has a
great temperament and a loving way about her that is irresistible."
