     Hey Ms. Debbie, This is Jeff from Texas. Long time no talk! As you probably know, Walter & Sophie just turned 5 years old! Wow, how time flies, I still remember our drive to Pampa to your parents house & the first time I saw Walt... he has been my best friend ever since. He was only 8 weeks old & weighed in about 25 lbs. Now he's about 155. I also remember the first time I saw Sophie. She was running around like a crazy woman in the grass by her old owner's apartment in Denver. She was such a mischievous puppy, but now she is very well behaved (although, she still has her moments). I could not imagine my life without those two. They wonderful beyond words. Walter is the sweetest thing ever, & he always has a smile on his face. Sophie never leaves my side. Walter is okay just being in sight of me, but Sophie has to be right next to me, by my feet at all times.

     I just wanted to say thanks again for taking such care in raising such amazing animals. Walter & Sophie mean more to me than anything in the world, & I'm sure every other family you have sent a puppy to feels the same way I do. I hope everything is going well out in Nevada. I've also attached a few current pictures of Walt & Sophie. I think my friend is going to take some really nice ones of them soon, so I will be sure to send you copies of those.       Jeff

    Debbie,  My wife & I really want to thank you for our handsome boy Sandford!  After spending countless hours researching & contacting breeders, it was really a breath of fresh air to come across your breeding program!  The experience we have had with you just could not be beat!  You kept in contact with us while we were on your waiting list & the weekly updates with pictures were so awesome!  And the best part was that Sandford was even more amazing in person than in pictures!  We were just blown away at how cute & fluffy he was!  And now he is maturing into a big handsome boy that is once again just blowing away our expectations, at 6 months he is already over 100lbs!  He has an amazing head, great bone structure, an excellent topline, a beautiful coat, good manners & he really matures.  We also thank you for always being available to mentor us & give us guidance when we have had questions with our new puppy.  Your knowledge of the breed, your experience, & your commitment to quality really set your apart from the other breeders out there & none of your Newfs will ever be mistaken for some sort of Lab cross.  We look forward to sending you more pictures of Sandford & we are recommending your to everyone & anyone that we know of that is looking for a Newfy!  Thanks again for letting us have our awesome boy!

Your Alaskan Friends,    Ian & Joyanna

Dear Debbie,  I just wanted to take a moment & thank you gain for my beautiful girl Isabella.  She is 16 months now & she is definitely perfect in type, sound in temperament, very healthy & extremely intelligent.  These were very important characteristics to me when I began my search for the "perfect girl".  Of course all of those outstanding characteristics stem from an outstanding breeder like you.  Thank you for investing your time, energy & taking on the expense to find the best Newfie's out there nationally & internationally for your breeding program so that someone like me can have the opportunity to have such a great puppy.  I was first drawn to Greatbasin Newfoundlands because all your Newf's are beautiful, with pedigrees that the average person would not be able to attain.  What I was finding with many other breeders is that they would have 1 or 2 "nice" looking Newf's but the others always looked like some type of retriever to me.  I wanted a real Newf!  I felt very secure knowing that my puppy's "parents" were loved & in great health.  We all know that filters down to the puppies, you do a wonderful job!  Isabella came to me a happy, healthy ball of love & all of that is still reflected in her today.  Most of all thank you for being you.  Your experience, insightfulness & helpful advice has been invaluable to me.  You have been there for me & Izzy in a way I could never have anticipated.  I cannot imagine anyone so giving of their time & expertise, someone who truly cares about their "extended Newfie family" the way you do. You are the most devoted & dedicated person I know when it comes to our beloved Newfie's, I cannot thank you enough.  As you know I spent almost a year doing my "homework" & contacting may breeders.  I was finally so discouraged with all the dishonesty & poor breeding that I almost gave up.  I found you & it has restored my faith that there are still a few people out there with a commitment to honesty who possess the highest integrity in what you do.  Sincerely,     Donna & Isabella
