Hello Bill,
Just wanted to let you know we made it safely back to C.... We arrived at about 1:00 am. The puppy traveled so well alternating between our laps. He is such a sweet little guy. He did throw up twice but has been fine since. I think he was a little car sick.
I put him in a kennel to sleep and he was not happy. He howled and cried. I felt so bad for the little guy so I put him in bed with us. He was completely content.
He loves Mary Frances, our little baby. He follows her around the house and plays with her. I'm so excited to have him! We can't thank you enough! You have given me a chance to have a wonderful companion and I'm truly grateful.
I'm attaching a picture of him napping on the sofa. He's a cutie!
Thank you,
J

June 24 2014 Luka Del Rio
Hi Bill,
Luka del Rio is doing well. In a little more than a week he will be two years old. Where has the time gone?
He continues to bring great joy to our lives. What an amazing dog! So smart and so giving!
We are in phase three of agility and doing okay. Luka's biggest challenge continues to be that he would rather play with the other students instead of work!
We went to the East Coast for some down time. Luka loves traveling and all of the new people, dogs and experiences.
Here is a photo of him at the ocean. And another photo of him resting at our campsite.
Wishing you and your dogs a very Happy Fourth of July as this country once again celebrates. Seems more and more that people are forgetting the significance of these holidays and they just become another reason to shop or to barbecue.
Anyway . . . Hope all is well with you and your animals.
Until next time,
All the best,
Wendy and Luka
P.s. I was wondering if it would be possible to get a second puppy? We have been thinking about getting another dog. Luka loves other dogs so much we think it might be nice to have a second dog. It's not urgent. Just thinking about it and looking at possibilities.

Hello Bill,
I hope you all are doing good down in Florida! I know it must be really hot lately. Luca is doing wonderful. I adore him. He already has such a great personality and is enjoying Valerie the poodle's company!
He's a wonderful little eater! He literally gobbles down anything I make for him....makes me feel like a fantastic cook! I'm feeding him 3 meals but just want to make sure I'm not giving him anything he shouldn't have. I make chicken salad using mashed avocados instead of mayo and he just loves it. Is there any thing he cannot have? I know chocolate is a no no but are there any fruits/ vegetables dogs can't have?
Thank you,
J

Happy Summer Bill, I wanted to send you a few more pictures of Khloé! She is the true princess of this house! As she matures into doggie adulthood she is evolving into such a well mannered, obedient, sweet and gentle dog! She has her favorite toys (balls & anything that squeaks) and knows them all by name. She is sometimes naughty and enjoys rummaging through the garbage. Who can blame her really? I'm sure to her it smells great! We don't mind because we love her too much!
Thanks for everything!!!!
Much love from Khloé, L, & G!!!!

Hey Bill,
I just wanted to say things again for Emrick Del Rio! He is so loving and did great during the drive! He loves snuggling and we finally got home about 1am! Traffic was terrible, but he travelled well! The cats are warming up to him, and our Pomeranian and he played all night! They are both sleeping at my feet right now! He has yet to explore the back yard, but he is a wonderful dog with a great loving personality, thank you again, so much!!! Nate

July 8 2014 Luca Del Rio
Hello Bill,
Hope all of you are doing well and surviving that Florida heat. We are doing fantastic and so enjoying Luca. He is nothing short of magnificent. As you know, he is my first Belgian Tervuren and I'm in love! This is such an unique breed and I'm thoroughly enjoying discovering all the unique aspects of it.
Luca and my standard poodle, Valerie are the best of friends. They play and lay together. Valerie used to look out the window and whine whenever she saw any animal. Now she is more than entertained with Luca's company.
Luca also fits right in with our little girls. If he can get a laugh out of them, he will keep on doing whatever generated the laughs. What a character he is! I fill the baby pool up for the girls and guess who jumps right in...Luca!
He is my little shadow. My husband laughs because he and Valerie are at my feet whether I'm cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry, or changing diapers. Luca is my very first male dog and I was apprehensive about a boy but now I couldn't imagine anything else. I'm amazed how he looks at me, reading my mind at times.
He has the appetite of a wolf! And boy were you right about the liver. They go crazy over it! I was surprised how affordable it was at Walmart. And I'm pretty sure his favorite veggie is a carrot. He is not a picky eater for sure.
Both of his ears have popped up nicely but one has become slightly tilted to the side. I'm sure that it is a result of the rough housing with Valerie. They play and play. I'm glad they are buddies but I certainly don't want his ears hurt or flopped as a result of it. Do you think his ear is permanently hurt? Is there anything you recommend me doing? I tell them to calm down and Valerie will listen but Luca still wants to play. It's common to see Valerie running around with Luca's mouth attached to her puffy tail. I just don't know how to communicate to her not to get his ears.
Thank you again for Luca. I cannot tell you how much we love him! He is my sweet little boy!

July 10 2014 Mojo Del Rio
Bill,
It's been a while since I sent pix of Mojo Del Rio. He's 5 now and still doing great. Never been sick or hurt and my daily companion, one very spoiled puppy!
His manners are perfect although he can still be very bouncy at times, like a big basketball. If he jumps up he will tuck in his front feet so he won't scratch accidentally.
We still hope to adopt another Terv one day, the sooner the better! What great dogs!

Hello Bill,
I hope you are all doing well in Florida. I wanted to again express my gratitude to you for my amazing friend, Luca Del Rio. Oh how he brightens my days and nights! He is growing like a weed and is smart as a whip!
I recently discovered I broke my ankle. I hoped it was a sprain but after a week or so I gave in and went to the doctor. I'm in a boot and everything takes three times longer to do! Luca and Valerie, my poodle have been my cheerleaders! Always by my side, letting me know it's ok. I detest loosing my independence and my exercising and running but Luca sure has made it easier.
He is such a precious boy so loving yet so brave. We are amazed by him daily. Tonight we sit on my porch listening to the night creatures. He by my feet....he will lay his head on my boot. My husband likes the television but I find it annoying so me and my dogs enjoy the peace of the night.
Valerie, the poodle is a scaredy cat so it's fun to watch Luca so sturdy and brave. He is so vigilant. I so enjoy them both...perfect combo!
I'm very down about my ankle but Luca has made things so much easier. I'm starting a puppy class with him next week! He's so smart that he doesn't need any class but I think it will be fun for the both of us.
He does lick my face...a lot! I call it puppy kisses. My poodle always does as well. I had no clue this was a way of telling you that you were a leader!
Luca loves the children. He jumps in the baby pool with them and entertains them with enthusiasm. They adore him as well. In fact, Mary Frances who is the youngest (the one you met) is Luca's copilot in mischief! He also is quick to watch over her. She recently started waking up very early. Luca hears her and alerts me that she is awake. This is a life saver because the poodle does not wake me. Mary Frances can open the door and will walk outside so Luca keeps her safe by alerting me.
I cannot thank you enough for him, he is the greatest gift I have ever received!
With great thanks,
J

Bill, Due to his charming personality we are calling our puppy "Charlie Brown." He arrived around 1 AM last night, and fell asleep in my lap. I fed him in the guest dog pen, so he could get used to our other 2 dogs - with just a fence in between him and the big pen. Charlie is about the same size as our 16-year old dog, who is blind and deaf, but also full of heart. Now this morning Charlie ate breakfast on the front porch a discreet distance from the other two dogs. He watched the hummingbirds on the front porch and went for a frisbee walk with Scout. We are VERY IMPRESSED by his personality. He is hanging out on the front porch (asleep now) like he has been here a month - instead of just part of a day. We will send pictures soon. He checked out the cat, who did not even move when Charlie sniffed him, so in short everyone is getting along. I have a vet appointment Tuesday AM. Both of our older dogs are up to date on their shots, and I will not take Charlie off the property (except to the vets) until he has his full compliment of puppy shots. We keep our dogs in a pen at night and they stay (mostly) on the front porch when we are at home. We are at the end of a mile-long private road in our Property Owners Association, and I have trained Scout to go up on the front porch when a vehicle comes down the driveway. Scout will not come off the porch until you shut the engine off! A very big THANK YOU for gifting this puppy to us, may good things come your way in return.!

Hello Bill,
Hope you all are doing well. I bet you're ready for some cooler weather! Luca is just wonderful! He's developing into such a marvelous guy. We are still in our puppy class and of course, Luca is a star! Everyone wants to know what he is. He's so friendly and just loves to play with all the other puppies.
It's actually funny because his choice of playmates are other shepherds. They immediately form a little pack and seem to rule the roost! He's brilliant, knowing lots of commands. He is my little buddy. Luca, Valerie and I nap when the children do. He absolutely adores my little girls. They have unique little bonds.
He had his first trip to a local pub...Hair of the Dog. Luca was smart enough to lay in the path to exit or enter, ensuring to get a pat from every patron. He's such a character, eating all that attention up. He is very protective already. A plumber came to fix my outside faucet and Luca had a fit! He did not like the man. In fact, the man asked for me to put Luca inside. I did and went inside with Luca. I suppose that man was not a good man at heart as I trust Luca's judgement. The man had long hair and a long beard.
Last night, Ed and I watched a movie where a character had long hair and a beard. He looked much like the plumber. Luca growled and carried on at the TV forever! He loves to lay in my lap and watch a movie with us!
He is just a great little guy. He's eating like a horse and growing like a weed ! He does have a little hair loss around his right eye. I googled it and I'm worried he caught something from that puppy class. What do you think ? He's acting fine but I'm worried. He has no fleas and stays inside with us. I would take a picture but my camera is messed up.
How's Ernie? I was amazed at Ernie's age. He looked young and sprite for sure! What is Luca's father's name? Ed and I tried our best to recall but couldn't. We do remember how he would climb in the water bucket! Luca jumps in water any chance he gets! Must take after his dad!
Hope to hear from you!

Just to let you know we have decided to go with Zoe Del Rio for her name. She is doing great. Two of the three dogs I have are great with her, the third is still letting her know he's the Alpha. He's not tried to hurt her just dominating her. She's learning quick. Housebreaking has been good, she's doing well on a leash. She wants to be close, sleeping with her head on my foot. Everywhere I go she's a step behind. She is really going to be a great pet/friend. She's wonderful I couldn't have asked for more.
Don't worry I won't email you ever other day. I knew you would want to know how she's adjusting so I will email you probably every few months after this to update you and send pictures. I am completely in love with her, she is a angel.
Thank you for allowing me to bring her into my family

Hi Bill! Khloé has been a busy girl! She is as always a giant blessing to our family and everyone who meets her! Even when she gets into a little trouble! I've gotten engaged and my fiancé LOVES her! (He's probably marrying me because of her! LoL -just kidding!) We will all be moving to north west georgia in the next few months and I cannot wait to see how Khloé is going to react to SNOW! I wanted to reach out to you again and mention that we want to have another Tervuren in the future & would love as close to black as possible! If you could let me know in the next year of you have any puppies available that would be amazing! I would like to plan a new puppy for anytime after April 2015 :)
I hope you are having a wonderful week and look forward to seeing you soon! I have talked with two of my friends that have 2 of your girls and they are just as amazing as Khloé!!! We love our tervurens!
Thank you again!

Aug 28 2014 Charlie Brown Del Rio age 4 months
Bill,
Charlie Brown Eyes is living the life. He sleeps in the big 1/4 acre pen now as our 16 year-old dog passed away peacefully a week or so after Charlie arrived. Charlie prefers to sleep touching Scout, our border collie on a bed of new grass hay. We have raccoons, coyotes and bears wandering around from time-to-time, so I keep the dogs in the pen when I am in bed asleep. Scout share toys with Charlie, and Charlie follows Scout everywhere. He sometimes hangs on to Scout's tail, so I call him a "little tag-along." You will see in the attached picture, that Charlie has a little scrape around the eye received while digging out of the smaller guest dog pen. He also has a cat scratch on his nose, and the big cat chases after him - especially when he barks and mock attacks, while Charlie chases the smaller cat when he gets a chance, or when she is not rubbing noses with him. Charlie went for his puppy booster shots yesterday and rode in the dog crate in the back of the pickup. What a dog, he only squeaked once when we started out. The yeast and cocci infection in his ears is cleaned up, and he has lost his 'worm weight' after two wormings, while gaining 5 pounds in three weeks! Chicken, an occasional scrambled egg or grass-fed beef liver AM and PM and liver sausage for treats make his coat very shinny. I ran the flea comb over him the other day and - no fleas! We have a lot of Lyme disease in this part of the country, so he received his first Lyme vaccine plus his DHLP booster. On his first vet visit he got his one-year rabies shot and a county dog license. Charlie proudly carries a ball or a chew toy up the driveway each morning - adopting Scout's morning routine. He is sort of learning to bring the ball back...but he prefers to play keep-away, especially if Scout is chasing him (much to his delight). He has two pairs of old shoes and various other toys. Charlie revels in making the "sweakers" sweak. He responds well to Sit, Stay and To Me - especially when I have a treat! He even checks himself when he becomes impatient as I make him "Stay" a little longer each time after I walk back 20 feet or so. He is wonderful at hanging out on the porch or nearby under the porch with Scout when it is hot - so far. I have worked on leash training by walking him through the woods paths - very exciting for him. We have deer almost every evening at the top of the yard, and Scout will come back at the "not chase" command...so far Charlie has not spotted any live deer, but is very interested in sniffing the trails in that area. When hunting season is in, I will tie Charlie up or put him in the pen when I am not physically outside with him (not taking any chances as his coat is similar in color and texture to that of a small bear). Charlie likes to be cuddled first thing in the morning, througout the day, and in the evening he especially likes belly rubs from our 20-year old granddaughter who is living with us while she goes to college. The dogs stay on the porch until incoming cars are turned off (Charlie patterns on Scout), then they go to great the driver. He likes hanging out on the cement garage floor, eating peanuts - shell and all, and trying to carry off any loose items that we may have forgot to put up - gardening gloves are his favorite! Charlie hangs out by the garden for hours digging in chimpmunk holes or playing with toys, when I am in our fenced-in garden. He is still trying to figure out why I am continually weeding everywhere we walk! Charlie Brown is lots of fun. We are really enjoying his puppy antics. Thank you again for gifting him to us! L, MSW

Bill,
Charlie Brown Eyes is living the life. He sleeps in the big 1/4 acre pen now as our 16 year-old dog passed away peacefully a week or so after Charlie arrived. Charlie prefers to sleep touching Scout, our border collie on a bed of new grass hay. We have raccoons, coyotes and bears wandering around from time-to-time, so I keep the dogs in the pen when I am in bed asleep. Scout share toys with Charlie, and Charlie follows Scout everywhere. He sometimes hangs on to Scout's tail, so I call him a "little tag-along." You will see in the attached picture, that Charlie has a little scrape around the eye received while digging out of the smaller guest dog pen. He also has a cat scratch on his nose, and the big cat chases after him - especially when he barks and mock attacks, while Charlie chases the smaller cat when he gets a chance, or when she is not rubbing noses with him. Charlie went for his puppy booster shots yesterday and rode in the dog crate in the back of the pickup. What a dog, he only squeaked once when we started out. The yeast and cocci infection in his ears is cleaned up, and he has lost his 'worm weight' after two wormings, while gaining 5 pounds in three weeks! Chicken, an occasional scrambled egg or grass-fed beef liver AM and PM and liver sausage for treats make his coat very shinny. I ran the flea comb over him the other day and - no fleas! We have a lot of Lyme disease in this part of the country, so he received his first Lyme vaccine plus his DHLP booster. On his first vet visit he got his one-year rabies shot and a county dog license. Charlie proudly carries a ball or a chew toy up the driveway each morning - adopting Scout's morning routine. He is sort of learning to bring the ball back...but he prefers to play keep-away, especially if Scout is chasing him (much to his delight). He has two pairs of old shoes and various other toys. Charlie revels in making the "sweakers" sweak. He responds well to Sit, Stay and To Me - especially when I have a treat! He even checks himself when he becomes impatient as I make him "Stay" a little longer each time after I walk back 20 feet or so. He is wonderful at hanging out on the porch or nearby under the porch with Scout when it is hot - so far. I have worked on leash training by walking him through the woods paths - very exciting for him. We have deer almost every evening at the top of the yard, and Scout will come back at the "not chase" command...so far Charlie has not spotted any live deer, but is very interested in sniffing the trails in that area. When hunting season is in, I will tie Charlie up or put him in the pen when I am not physically outside with him (not taking any chances as his coat is similar in color and texture to that of a small bear). Charlie likes to be cuddled first thing in the morning, througout the day, and in the evening he especially likes belly rubs from our 20-year old granddaughter who is living with us while she goes to college. The dogs stay on the porch until incoming cars are turned off (Charlie patterns on Scout), then they go to great the driver.

Hi Bill,
Emmett, Marco, and I just wanted to say hi. The puppies have been gone for a long time. I sure do miss them ! I think the hardest was seeing them leave one by one. I feel sure they all got good homes. Your dogs put such wonderful personalities in their puppies, its hard not to love them !!
Also had to show you what we had a few days ago .They are so tiny and cute ! My Grandkids have a blast with them. I think Emmett would like to eat them , but , we are working on that. He's getting much better with the idea that they are not a snack.
Hope you and all your doggies and Goats are doing great.

Hey Bill, Emrick (we call him Raphi) is such a wonderful dog! He is so big and beautiful and the smartest puppy! He is in the middle of his dog training and doing well. He loves our family. The cats and our Pomeranian have adapted well to him being in our home and he is a big lover! He always wants to be laying on you, either on the couch or on the floor! Here is a picture of him sleeping on my wife's foot. He likes to get close and lay on any part available. We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful dog! He truly is a blessing! Nate, Demi, Lori, and Raphi!

Zoe Del Rio is doing great. Everyone else has accepted her you can see in the picture she's using one of the boys as a pillow. My new fence is done so they can play. Today I had a guy here updating our TV, she was at my knee barking at him and when she thought he was getting too close she was very protective. She is great I am so happy she is part of our family. I will send more pictures and let you know how she's doing
Thank you for her

September 29 2014 Luca Del Rio and family
Hello Bill, hope you all are doing wonderfully in Florida. My precious Luca is doing so great! I just can't thank you enough for him. He is the most beautiful and striking canine I have ever encountered.
Last week, Ed was out of town. I was really scared as Ed rarely goes out of town. Plus there have been lots of break ins in our area lately. Luca just knew I was nervous and scared. He stopped being a puppy for a week and became a full fledged protection dog. I kid you not, he lost all of his puppy behavior and completely changed for a week. Luca is nothing short of amazing! Now that Ed is home, Luca has relaxed and turned into puppy Luca once again!
I love to watch Luca move. He just moves differently; almost gliding. And there is just something different about my bond with him. He's not a dog, he's my best friend. So loving yet so protective. It's as if he reads my mind.
Luca loves our children, especially Mary Frances who you met. They play and lay together. He is such a wonderful addition to our family!
He loves to play with Valerie, our poodle. They are the best of friends and are just so incredibly cute to watch. They play tug of war with rope toys and play ball together too. He is all boy and she's all girl!
Luca loves baths and showers. It's all I can do to keep him out when I'm bathing the girls or in the shower myself. He's so soft and loves to be brushed.
He eats like a horse drinks like a fish! I just could not imagine my life without Luca. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to have such an amazing companion!
Thank you'

October 4 2014 Luka Del Rio
Hi,
Been a while since I sent you any photos of Luka Del Rio. Hard to believe it has been two years since we brought him home!! I attached a photo of him the first day he came to our house two years ago! The other photos are more recent. What a wonderful two years it has been! Luka is one smart little fellow! I have NEVER seen a dog so smart!! He practically knows what I am thinking before I think it! I am amazed at how quickly he learns words, too. His vocabulary gets larger every day. He seems to understand just about everything! It almost seems as though he can talk. If he wants something, he will come to me and sit in front of me as if to ask for it. So then I will ask for example if he wants to eat or go for a walk, whether he wants chicken or beef for dinner, and if it is a "yes," he will wag his tail. If it is a definite "yes," he will bark and jump around like a nut. If the answer is no, he just stands there until I say what he wants to hear. We have come to understand each other very well. Amazing!
Knows all of his toys by name. He has probably a dozen or so. Sometimes I try to spell some of the words like "bone," or "chewy," but those are two of his favorite treats and he knows exactly what I am talking about. He will sit politely and wait for them, even before we tell him to .People are amazed at his manners and his stunning looks! We get comments wherever we go! His sense of humor is unbelievable! Yesterday he was playing with a bone, and I was on all fours on the floor as well. He came up to me, nose to nose, and then growled his little play growl, trying to get me to try to take it from him. I had to laugh because he is always trying to be the tough guy, but doesn't have a mean bone in his body! Here we were, nose to nose, Luka with a bone in his mouth, and I was less than inches from his teeth, and all he wanted me to do was play! Not many dogs would I ever trust to do that! (I wouldn't tell anyone else to try it either!)
Then there are the times when we are playing in the backyard, and while chasing a toy he will do the big dramatic fall and roll. He will jump up as if to say, "did you see that?" He is so funny! Every day is another adventure, and we enjoy every minute of it! Can't thank you enough for the joy he has brought to our lives! Until next time . . . Hope all is well with you and your dogs. Quite a lot of rain we got recently!! Hope you stayed high and dry!
Sincerely, W and Luka Del Rio

Zoe is doing great. Finished up all her puppy shots and rabies vaccine. This picture was taken on the river walk in Murphy. I try to take her to as many different places as I can and walk her. She is doing so good. Some things she's still nervous about but that's why I keep taking her to new places. The more new experiences she has the better she does. I will keep you updated and send more pictures. She is just so good and I am very proud of her.

Hello Bill,
Hope you are doing well. It has been a quite a while since I have sent any pics and updates on Rudolf (Rudi), so I wanted to send you a few recent pics I took of him for a Halloween-themed pet picture contest... I hope he wins. ;-)
Rudi sat very still and seemed to enjoy having lots of pictures taken of him. He likes lots of attention, and is super lovable and affectionate.
Thanks again for letting us bring him into our family.
Take care,
K

Dec 7 2014 Luca Del Rio
Hello Bill!
Hope you all are doing well and had a nice Thanksgiving. Your "little turkey", Luca sure did! He discovered Turkey and boy did he love it! He is such a good eater. He even eats salad!
Luca is growing and growing. He now is bigger than Val, his standard poodle sister. They play constantly and are the best of friends.
I recently had sinus surgery and have to sleep alone due to the risk of being elbowed in the face so Luca and Valerie have taken over the bed with me! Luca sleeps beside me and Val at my feet. They are hilarious! The other day my husband just sat on the bed and Luca laid with his back against me pushing my husband with his paws! He continued until my husband got off the bed!
Luca completed a puppy class and then STAR Puppy! He's so smart! They gave me a form to send to AKC but didn't know if he could be registered. I don't really care for all this sending in money for titles and what not but thought about getting Luca certified to be a service dog.
We met a couple that had a Malinois certified just so she could go everywhere with the family. My oldest daughter and I have asthma which would qualify. Anyways just wanted to get your opinion on that.
We met another Terv on the walking bridge several weeks ago. It was great! His owner was shocked to see another Belgian Tervuren as well. She carried on about how beautiful Luca was and said that he was "show quality." She said that Luca's personality was amazing! Her Tervuren was five or six years old and very timid. I told her that you could easily tell that Luca doesn't meet a stranger!
If Luca is able to be registered or certified, his name will read "Luca Two Sheds Del Rio" to honor his father as well. I think he's going to be a big boy just like Two Sheds! How much more will he grow ? Luca is about 7 and a half months now.
Thank you again for blessing our family with Luca. We love him so much and the joy he brings to us! My 4 year old child made a Thanksgiving card at preschool that told what she was thankful for, it read " I am thankful for my family and Valerie and Luca."

Hi Bill!
Happy New Year! Just though I would send you an updated picture of our best girl Khloe! She is a Georgia Dog now and has been hiking many times up a local mountain trail! She truly enjoys the outdoors-what dog doesn't!! I saw on your site that her momma Rosie Del Rio had another litter. . . I am sooo tempted to get another one but it's still not the right time. We have a new baby due in less than 10 weeks and Khloe is getting all prepared to be an awesome big sister! I have a photo of her on a planner and my OB doctor recognized the breed and said that she had 3 Terverens!!! I was impressed and am glad that my unborn child's doctor shares the love for the breed! I hope you are in good health and I hope to visit this year! I plan on traveling to Florida a few times with Khloe so maybe we'll stop by!
Until then take care and God bless! Get those puppies good homes! They're such great dogs!!!

Feb 7 2015 Charlie Brown Del Rio
Mr. Bill, ... Just to let you know, Charlie Brown Eyes is doing well. He loves playing in the snow, and is learning "house manners" when we bring him inside. The attached pictures were at 8 months (Dec. 22, 2014). He continues to grow and is now taller than our border collie! I have signed Charlie up for a Rally class this spring. He does well on all commands...with the exception of coming on command when he is charging around exploring the woods when taking walks off leash...we are working on this. Trying to catch him "doing well." He is improving on walking on a leash without pulling at all!

Feb 12 2015 Rudi Del Rio and Ranger
Hi Bill,
Just wanted to say hello. I hope you are doing well in 2015.
I can not believe that Rudi will be 2 years old already in April. Time sure does fly by... it seems like yesterday that he was just a tiny puppy.
I have attached a recent pic of Rudi with our older dog, Ranger. Ranger just turned 10 the first part of January, but he still has a lot of energy... I think Rudi is definitely helping to keep Ranger young.
As I think I mentioned a while ago, my son is a Staff Sgt. in the U.S.A.F. stationed overseas in the UK. He will be completing 10 years of service in April of this year. He will be returning to Florida soon, to visit... and possible live here (if he can get a job). It will be so awesome that he will get to finally meet Rudi!!!! I will send pics of them together to you.
I saw on your listing on puppyfind.com that Two Sheds and Rosie had a recent litter. I think that they are the same parents of Rudi.
My husband said he saw a black puppy at your place when he picked up Rudi... do you have breed Belgian Groenendaels too?
Take care Bill,
Love,
K, J, Rudi, Ranger.....

Feb 15 2015 Luca Del Rio
Hello Bill and friends,
I hope you all are doing well and the new year has brought many blessings to you! We are doing well here in Chattanooga, TN. Luca is just as beautiful and brilliant as can be! He is so full of personality that some days I truly believe he's going to just break out into conversation.
His coat is so full and pretty. I bet that's attributed to not neutering, right? I've tried my best to talk to other people about not neutering but I'm often dismissed. I've read so many online articles how neutering can change hormone production which can lead to hip and elbow problems. Anyways, Luca is doing wonderfully as an un neutered male. He is very sweet with the children and our poodle girl.
As for eating, this guy will eat anything I put in front of him. He even loves beets and parsnips! He's big on fruit too! He goes nuts over chicken and especially those livers.
Luca is definitely a Floridian Terv because he's not too keen on snow and ice. I thought he would have a ball in it but he's ready to come inside fairly quickly. He loves his walks and meeting new people. I've been told that Tervurens are rather shy usually. Luca is the opposite of shy! Not timid or jumpy.
His new thing is helping ween the baby from her pacifier. He has watched me take it from her so now he gently takes it out of her mouth and brings it to me. Now of course this doesn't make the baby too happy. Luca also has decided to practice his herding abilities by retrieving the poodle for me when she's outside and won't come in. She's big, white, and furry like a sheep! It works!
He is just the best dog I've ever had! He's my buddy, my friend. I love him dearly. Thank you again for blessing our family with Luca.
Love,
J and Luca

He is just the best dog I've ever had! He's my buddy, my friend. I love him dearly. Thank you again for blessing our family with Luca.
Love,
J and Luca

March 25 2015 Rudi Del Rio
Hello Bill,
Hope all is going well for you.
I just snapped this picture of Rudi today and it really captures his personality... so I wanted to share it with you. It's hard to believe that Rudi will be 2 years old in just a week from this Thursday.
My son has just finished his 10 year term with the military, and in less than 2 and a half weeks he will be returning home from his base in the UK. I am looking forward to my son finally getting to meet Rudi for the first time. I think they will get along great. More pictures to come....
Take care, K

April 28 2015 Khloe Del Rio and Isabelle Catherine
Hello Bill!!
We have a new addition to our family that Khloe just LOVES!!! We welcomed "Isabelle Catherine" to our family on 4/15/15 and since we brought her home Khloe spends all her time shadowing the baby! I was a bit nervous because Khloe is very playful and sometimes does not know her size. . . But she has exceeded our expectations for loving our new daughter and I cannot wait to see them together as Isabelle grows! Khloe is such a wonderful blessing! Thank you for everything as you are considered family to us!
Take care & God Bless!

May 31 2015 Luka Del Rio and new girlfriend
Hi,
We have been without internet since last fall, but we finally are back online again. So here is an update on Luka Del Rio-
Life has been full of surprises this past year, both good and bad, so it was nice to get away to St. Augustine this spring, and find a little cooler weather to the north. Luka loved it!
During our trip, Luka got the chance to meet his cousin, Hanna, another Belgian Tervuren! She is only a year old, and originally comes from Kansas, but now makes her home near Jacksonville, Florida! Attached are some photos of them.
Luka was a perfect gentleman to Hanna. Shared his treats and drink. Played a little too, but we had to be careful because Hanna was still healing from a fractured leg after landing wrong while trying to catch a Frisbee.
Luka has been doing well and remains healthy as a horse. He has really filled out this past year, and his coat has gotten longer and darkened some. Everywhere we go, people always comment on his handsome-ness! He continues to bring joy to our lives every day. He really is the BEST dog we have ever had!!
Hope all is well with you and your dogs, and your animals.
Sincerely,
Wendy and Luka

July 13 2015 Khloe Del Rio and family
Hi Bill,
We took Khloe to a local park that has the most amazing little creek where the water is about 50 degrees consistently. Khloe loved it as I expected she would. She is too funny by pushing her entire face under water trying to fetch rocks! She truly loves the water! Anyways, I thought the one photo of her all wet was too beautiful to not share! I all are doing well. Take care, Lara

HI Bill,
I'm just checking in with you for another pup-date! :) Khloe was in our wedding this weekend and then spent the rest of the days enjoying a river in Cherokee NC! She loves the cold water and does really well camping and hiking! She looks like a mountain goat climbing up the rocks to see waterfalls!

August 4 2015 Zoe Del Rio
Hi Bill. I wanted to update you on Zoe. First I have to thank you for her. She is beautiful and just great. I truly believe she helped me heal from the cancer. She's a little one, only about 40-45 lbs but that's okay. Made it easier for me to handle while I was getting over the cancer. I adore her. She has been my shadow, goes almost every where I go. She sleeps on the pillow beside my head. I have people stop me to ask about her, her breed and everything about her. I have thought about letting her have a litter but only with another Belgium. She truly is an amazing animal. I hate to even say animal, to me she's my baby. Of course she learned quickly and follows directions in a split second. I can not tell you how much I love her. Thank you for letting me have her. I really believe she saved me.

December 20 2015 Luka Del Rio is ready for Christmas!
Hi,
Hope you and your dogs are doing well. I have not seen any new postings on your website in a while. Hoping this message finds you and your animals in good health.
Just writing to give you an update on Luka Del Rio. He is doing great! Smart as can be, and becoming so much more of a companion than I could have ever dreamed. Every day is an adventure and we are enjoying every minute of it!
Attached are a couple of photos of Luka. He hasn't changed much since the last photos. Maybe his hair is a little longer. He still turns heads everywhere we go. Luka is one of our many blessings! We are so thankful to have him in our lives!
Until next time . . .
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Wendy and Luka

December 23 2015 the noble Emmett Del Rio at rest
Hi Bill,
I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas . Also to let you know Emmett and Marco are doing just fine. I had a little mishap with Emmett one day .We were on our morning run around the farm when I heard Emmett screaming just out of sight back in the woods. I ran back to see what was going on only to find he had a front paw stuck in a trap. For the pain he was in , I was amazed the trust he had in me. He just buried his head in my legs while I stepped on that nasty trap to free him. He is fine he came home and licked his paw for a while, it didn't even break the skin. I was so thank full I was close and was able to get him out. Marco is very trusting too , But ! absolutely has a mind of her own . If she is chewing on something odd in the yard and if I yell at her she chews that much faster and swallows before I can get close ! They are both great dogs , I love them both very much.
Merry Christmas

Hello Bill,
I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I apologize for the long delay in writing to you, but everything has been upside down and crazy on my end.
In April, my son Justin finished his 10 years in the Air Force and moved in with me until the end of October. While he was here I was his chauffeur until his car arrived to the USA from his base at Lakenheath, UK. Lots of running around taking care of business. Well as I knew would happen, Rudi immediately took to Justin... and likewise Justin thinks Rudi is the most awesome dog he has ever met. Justin wanted to take Rudi with him to his new place to live. Attached are a couple pics of Rudi and Justin.

Feb 7 2016 Abbagail Del Rio age 8 weeks
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know we really appreciate everything you have done for us, and for providing us with the two beautiful dogs that are now part of our family!
It was so nice to finally get to your place, meet your dogs, and see what a wonderful piece of paradise you have there.
We made it home finally last night after 9 pm. Our little girl settled in nicely last night after chasing Luka Del Rio all over the yard for about an hour! They both had a blast, and were ready to settle down for sleep after that! She whined a little early this morning, but overall she seems to be adapting really well! Potty training has been going really well so far in the short time she has been here, and she seems to be a natural at learning. (She follows in her parents pawsteps!) I think she is going to be one smart little doggie!
We have decided to name her Abbagail Del Rio, or Abby for short.
Attached are photos we took when we stopped to eat last night. All the way home, Abby slept on the top of the console as close to Luka as she could. They both did really well considering it was quite long, slow drive home in the rain last night.
Thank you again for everything and letting us visit your oasis! It was really nice to see where Luka and Abby were born, and see all of your dogs and goats! And thanks for all of the helpful info about dogs, goats, farms and acreage. If there is anything I could ever do for you, don't hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Wendy, Luka and Abby

Abby Del Rio is growing! Even after two weeks I think she has grown a couple of inches. She went for her shots today and has already gained three pounds! She is a very healthy eater! Having her has been a blessing for our family in so many ways! Luka Del Rio enjoys her so much. Sleeps right next to her at night. He is eating so much better too. Attached are some current photos. She is growing so fast! Hope all is well at the farm! Wendy, Luka and Miss Abbagail

March 3 2016 Abbagail Del Rio and Luka Del Rio
Hi,
Just sending you some more puppy photos and an update. I love snapping photos of Abbagail Del Rio as she grows, because I know it won't be long and she will be all grown up. She is growing like a weed! Eats like a horse! Runs like a crazy dog! Plays until she collapses!
Got her third set of shots, and will go back in about three weeks for her final puppy shots. Then a few more weeks after that and they will do the rabies. Not a fan of the rabies shots but I guess just to the north of us in Hillsborough County, they found some domestic cats that tested positive for rabies. Better to be safe, and we live in an area where there are critters and tons of feral cats. Our yard is fenced, but somehow they still can get in.
Abbagail has been in two puppy classes, and is doing very well with her obedience and socialization! She is very smart and listens really well! I put Luka Del Rio back into a refresher course, just to keep his skills current, and for more obedience with distractions. He is doing very well too!
Watching Abbagail and Luka grow has been nothing short of amazing! He has been showing her the ropes around the house and yard, but also has been quick to keep her in her place as well. Most of the time they are inseparable, and always at my feet. We continue to be blessed with our two wonderful, beautiful dogs!
Well that is all for now. I will try to not send photos every couple of days, but I am so proud of them, and so thankful for them as well! The absolute loves of my life!!
Hope all is well at the farm! Hope all your puppies find good homes, and your dogs and other animals are doing well. Hope you all stay healthy this winter and spring!
Until next time,
Wendy, Luka and Miss Abbagail

March 5 2016 Valentine Del Rio and friends
Hi Bill,
Want to send you some pictures. Valentine Del Rio is doing great! He has gained weight, and I think he has grown a little. I give him the best food and love him to death.
Oh, yes, he is handsome, and smart, and high-spirited, and a lot of fun! I am glad you like his name. I love it, and he knows his name very well by now. The little white dog belongs to one of our neighbors; he and Valentine play very well together. Dixie is mine, and she has grown to be a beautiful, intelligent, and gentle girl. She is a rescue dog just like Fritz was. She and Valentine get along well, and I let them play under supervision. He goes crazy teasing and biting her, and, then, dashes for cover under the bed or the tables. He really wants to be with her, and they lick each other and lay together when both are calm.

Hi,
Love your recent photos on your website! Rosie Del Rio and Red Del Rio are beautiful as are all of your dogs!
Here are some recent photos of Abbagail Del Rio. She is growing up fast! I think she grew two inches in one night!
She is in two puppy classes and doing very well! She already knows "sit, down, stand, wait and come."
Abby and Luka Del Rio are finally learning to share the toys, and everything else. It's been more of an adjustment than I thought it would be for Luka. I have discovered he doesn't really like to share anything very much, but he is learning a lot of new things just like she is. The best thing for him though is having her here has really improved his eating! Now he finishes every bowl of food put in front of him. I think I am going to have to watch him to make sure he doesn't gain too much weight!
That is all for now. Hope things are good on the farm and everyone is staying healthy this year!
Sincerely,
Wendy, Luka and Abbagail

Hi,
Just wanted to send you an email to make sure we have the new email correct! Attached are a couple of photos.
Miss Abbagail Del Rio is growing like a weed! I swear she grows a half inch every day!
Little Abby is such a sweet thing - she will climb in your lap just to cuddle! One of the things she has started doing is jumping into my arms. Don't know why she does this but she is a bundle of energy, and leaps into my arms if I am crouching on the ground! She has no fear of anything!
Finished puppy shots, and now we are waiting a few weeks until we have to get the rabies vaccine required by law. Puppy classes have ended and little Abby needs to be at least 16 weeks before she can start the next round of obedience classes. We are thankful that we get to do these as we believe it helps in her manners, and relationships with people and other dogs.
Overall, both Luka Del Rio and Abby are doing very well. They love to play early in the morning before it gets too warm. They chase around the yard with the frisbee or another toy. I am teaching Abby to find the toys just like Luka. Luka does so well at finding just about anything!
Well that is all for now. Hope all is well with you, your beautiful dogs, and your goats.
Until next time . . .

Hi, Bill.
You have recently been in my thoughts for some reason. Made me want to update you on the pup my family received from you 4 years ago. His name is Sammy Del Rio now but I believe you called him Juno at the time. He has been a great addition to our family and he protects myself and my daughter with everything that he has! He is just beautiful and loyal and he even spends time trying to make sure Kaitlynn is safe in her daily activities! I just wanted to thank you again for providing our family with such a source of joy! Attached please enjoy the current pic of him as he is quite beautiful and no longer resembles a fluffy teddy bear!
Fondly
Amanda

April 14 2016 Abbagail Del Rio
Hi,
Just wanted to send you an updated photo of Abby Del Rio. Photos are hard to get right now because she doesn't stay in one place very long!
She is growing so fast now! She is so tall! Starting to get her adult teeth now too! It is amazing the changes they go through in the first year!
All is well here with the two dogs; they are growing up together and getting along nicely. Luka Del Rio still has to keep her in line now and then, and let her know he is still the big dog around the house, but otherwise they are the best of friends.
Abby will be starting another obedience class in a few weeks, and Luka is in a rally class right now. Both are excelling in their obedience. Everyone always remarks about how beautiful and smart they are! And yes, they are VERY smart!
Well that is about it for now. Hope all is well in North Florida with you and your dogs and goats!

Hi,
Just wanted to send you an updated photo of Abby Del Rio. Photos are hard to get right now because she doesn't stay in one place very long!
She is growing so fast now! She is so tall! Starting to get her adult teeth now too! It is amazing the changes they go through in the first year!

May 9 2016 Abby Del Rio
Hi,
Just thought I would send you a couple new photos of Abby Del Rio. She is getting so tall! Hard to believe she is 5 months old already!
We took her for her first camping trip up to Saint Augustine. We did a lot of walking and went to the ocean. She loved it!
She has been the sweetest dog anyone could ever ask for! She loves to cuddle, and be close to us, and to Luka.
Hope all is well in North Florida. We've had some really dry weather the last couple of weeks, but now a late season cold front is bringing us some rain and cooler temps for a few days. The change will be nice since summer will soon be upon us!
Until next time . . .

Hi Bill!
I think Khloé truly loves our baby girl! As Isabelle grows she interacts and plays with Khloé so much! She is always sure to be gentle with the human pup... And tolerates the tugs, pulls, and wrestles that Isabelle offers! We are so blessed to have such a loving pup for Isabelle to grow up with! Childhood memories are NEVER forgotten and having a loyal dog makes the best kind to have! Since the weather has gotten warmer Khloé has visited Cherokee NC & played in the creek again, and she's been hiking through Alabama to find a fun waterhole where she went cliff jumping! She jumped off the small ones into a large pool of water below! Totally wild!! She loves her life vest and swimming with the kids!
Lots of thanks!

Hi Bill,
I hope all is well!
We wanted to inquire about any new puppies (possibly a black/female) ... We are dreaming of her and just want to stay in contact so you are aware.
Khloé is doing well! She got into a bit of trouble on the 4th of July... Got away from my moms house for a quick romp around the block and got her foot hurt. Had to have emergency surgery to repair it but has healed up 100% since and she is doing great! ...Just checking in and saying hi!
Many thanks, Lara

Hi,
Just thought I would send a photo of Miss Abbagail Del Rio trying to stay cool. She has her own pool which was fine a few months ago, but now it looks like we are going to have to upgrade to a bigger one! She has grown so much!
I hear this has been the hottest July on record in Florida ever! Won't be long though and summer will be behind us and we will be able to enjoy the cool days of fall.
Both dogs are doing great! Hope all is well in the north!
...Yes, that is Abby! She is getting so big . . . and she is so breathtakingly beautiful! Everyone we meet tells us what a beautiful girl she is!
We are so proud and thrilled she is part of our family! Luka Del Rio adores her! And so do we!!

Hi Bill,
Well summer is finally coming to an end . . . finally!!! What a hot summer it was!!! A couple of weeks ago, we made the annual trek to the Carolina mountains with Luka Del Rio and Abbagail Del Rio. What a nice break from the Florida heat!
Luka and Abby are amazing dogs! They were absolute angels the entire trip, enjoying every new adventure! They rode well, even though it was 15 hours in the truck traveling across Georgia. Abby is my husband's co-pilot when he drives. She puts one paw on his shoulder and watches over his shoulder and the road. Sometimes she just hugs him while he is driving. She is such a silly girl!
Luka and Abby enjoyed our short week in South Carolina, as we did camping and hiking every day! It was so nice to escape the constant grind of Florida and the traffic! Abby was such a good girl camping! She stayed by my side and never strayed, so she was able to be off leash at the campground most of the time, except on walks, which rules require her to be leashed. She also is turning into quite the frisbee dog! Loves to chase that frisbee!
Luka still remains the man in charge, and continues to be the more serious of the two. He keeps a watchful eye over things and over Abby. He also is my jogging partner, and bicycles with me as well. He likes to do whatever I am doing, and gets so excited when I mention the word "jog" or "go."! While in South Caroling, we were able to jog during the cool mornings and we climbed some pretty steep hills! Luka loved it!
So that is all for now. Hope you are drying out after Hermine, and all is well with you, your dogs and goats.

Hi,
Luka Del Rio and Abbagail Del Rio, and Gary and I just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas! Here are a couple of photos of the dogs. Tried to get them to pose for Christmas pictures and Miss Abby would have no part of it. Luka actually did okay with it all. So proud of them both! Many blessings to you in the new year!

December 25 2016 Rocky Del Rio
Merry Christmas Bill, All is well on Marco! Rocky Del Rio is a gem, and keeping us on our toes, in a good way. Our walks are getting shorter, and bike rides more frequent. He likes trotting beside the bike on leash. He'd gallop, but I fear I might lose control on the bike, and we'd both take a tumble! He enjoys being around us, so we find ourselves spending a lot of time sitting in the lanai with him. Dog toys everywhere, but none better than an empty plastic water bottle or milk jug! He keeps a watchful eye on us at all times. His favorite chew is shredding the coconut husks that Mo leaves for him after Mo does up a coconut. He's grown, but still bounces around like a little puppy, always trying to entice other doggies to play. He's such a sweetie.

January 21 2017 Sheba Del Rio and family
Greetings Bill! I wanted to let you know that Sheba and Khloé have been playing their hearts out for the last week or so... they spend all of their time together and it's been such a joy to watch! Sheba has been learning confidence in her play skills with a "bigger" dog and now chases Khloe all over the back yard. Sheba is starting to identify her name and has proven to be a strong personality. She is too funny in her mannerisms and is often into something! This past weekend we were doing work to the kids treehouse and she (Sheba) snuck slowly up behind us and grabbed the screw box with her mouth and took off running! She thought she was super stealthy and getting away with it! We all got a laugh out of her shenanigans!
While we're not home she is being crate trained to keep her safe. She does really well and I think I'm a few months when she's past the chewing phase of life she'll be joining Khloe to roam about. She seems content enough in getting some rest.
Khloé and her both sleep in bed with us at night. They start off by our feet but by morning Sheba has snuk up into the pillows along with the baby! I figure let them all pile in while they want too. Isabelle has truly taken to both of our pups. She wakes in the morning and kisses them both... when Sheba gets a little rough Isabelle tells her "No Ee-ba!" I'm glad she has such beautiful, smart, loving dogs to grow up with. We are truly enjoying this phase of life with our wonderful complete family! Sheba fits in like she was designed to be here! We hope you are well!
Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the photos & video!
