On this page, I will post pictures and emails or comments from some of our new families and their new babies!!! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!! Marilyn
Hi Marilyn
You don't know me I am Jennifer's mother
Berenice and I live in Brisbane Australia. I just wanted to congratulate
you on your puppies that you breed. Also the
mothers and sires. You do a fantastic job, your dogs are just the
best. If I were living in the USA I would
love to have one of your puppies.
I am not sure if Jennifer has contacted you
but she is over the moon with her boy but is very busy with her work
and gets very tired.
We went over to Long Beach
for 18 days in November 09 and were so excited to meet him. His
name is "Axel" and
he is the most gorgeous dog. You sure picked
the right one for Jennifer. He has attitude, character and a whole lot
more.
My husband Lionel and I just love him to
death. We wanted to bring him home with us to meet out little princess
"Monique" who is turning 8yrs this March. She
is a little white and black Papillion and is adorable. One of our
neighbours
calls her 'Madam Butterfly" this really suits
her as she is a real little lady. I'm sure if we were able to get her and
Axel
together they would have the most wonderful
time. He is such a friendly dog and loves everyone he meets and they
love him also.
We were determined to try and make him a
little Australian. We arrived with a "Skippy" (Kangaroo toy) which he
immediately loved and he is still playing with
it. It is his favourite toy and when we are on the phone to Jennifer I
can
sometimes hear him squawking it all over the
floor. He loves pillows so we took him a special one with Australian
animals on it.
He loves that too. I also made him a hand
appliquéd Christmas stocking. He loves to play fetch and I apparently
spoiled him
while I was there getting it out from under
the bed, couch or stove. Now that we've come home and if it goes under
these places he wants it out straight away and
just sits and howls like a wolf wanting Jennifer to get the ball out.
Anyway I guess enough of my raving about my
new 4 legged 'grandson'.
Keep up the good work with your dogs. I just
wanted to say again what a wonderful dog Jennifer has received from you.
Kind regards
Berenice Holmes
Dear Marilyn,
Back in May, on our way home with our new puppy Mitzi Wasson, we realized
that this love bug's name didn't quite fit. She was just too loveable and
cuddly, so our daughter helped us choose the name Molly, which fits her
perfectly. She's grown up quite a bit as she now weighs about 20 lbs and
stands almost 1/2 inch taller than Susan's parents dog. She's a very loving
dog, definitely Susan's baby, and she is a perfect companion for her. She
will always choose to come and sit or lay down with Susan first. If she
can't have her mommy, she'll settle for anyone else in the family and loves
to be up on the couch or wherever we are. She will sit and sleep on your
lap without a complaint for hours.
Molly is great with our kids, as she's very easygoing and tolerant. She
puts up with Eric's piano and trumpet practice and was not at all bothered
by all the confusion of wrapping paper on Christmas morning today. Susan's
mom and dad absolutely love and adore her. They got to babysit the new
granddog during the summer when we went on vacation and she won their hearts
over immediately. She's extremely affectionate, and will lay her head on
your chest or your shoulder and just hug on you... and she does like to try
to lick your face (if you let her). She loves chew toys and enjoys playing
fetch. She is not at all "barky", she only makes noise at strangers, or
sometimes during play time. She is inquisitive and playful, but never to
the point of being obnoxious. She's a people-lover and really enjoys just
hanging out with her 'folks'. She loves to "Go" in the car w/Susan as she
drives the kids around to their various activities.
We looked at your web site and Molly looks exactly like her mother
(Enticer)!! She definitely does have the "Miracle coat" and she absolutely
looks great, especially right after grooming. We could not have asked for a
better family pet and constant companion for Susan.... this dog is a delight
to have as a member of the family. We wanted to know that we have been
absolutely 100% satisfied with our decision to bring home our baby from
Dragonward and our dog's delightful personality has exceeded even our high
expectations! We love our Molly!!!
Thanks for helping us pick out the most wonderful dog for us! Attached are
some pictures of our baby.
Matthew, Susan, Emily & Eric Wasson
Hi Marilyn
Hope you are well. We bought a black miniature schnauzer puppy from you in July 2009 at 8 and half weeks old. He was born on 14 May 09 to Rose and I forgot the father’s name got to check. We named him Tholan (means friend in my language). I just wanted to share with you how much joy he has brought into our life thus far and continue to bring. He has an awesome personality, he is very sociable, does not bark unnecessarily and totally adorable. We cannot imagine our life without him because he is our ‘baby’. He is super smart so he is so easy to train and every person or dog he meets loves him. They remember him better than our names.
He goes most places with us and plays great with our friends’ kids that some adults have converted to become dog lovers. When we come home from a tired day or just a bad day he is at the door greeting us enthusiastically and makes all our troubles go away. He senses when we are not feeling the greatest and is happy just hanging out by us and when we sleep he is snuggled up at our feet. He was toilet trained within a month of being home and now rings the bell at the door if he wants to go out. We don’t have to get up at all in the night since like 3 months ago to let him out….he sleeps through the night. We do lots of agility training and other command trainings as well to keep him active and agile. We go for long walks (4miles) in the river park near our home and he enjoys it so much. He is good and following our ‘comes’, ‘stays’, ‘sits’, ‘downs’, ‘shakes’ etc that we have signed him up for advance training with a trainer. My husband Martin enjoys training him and lots of his training was done by him.
Tholan has transformed our lives in a nice way by being with us, our families adore him and to us he is our family. We are away in Singapore now visiting my family and unfortunately we could not take him along because it’s like 25 hrs flight to get there. Since he is still young (6.5 months) we thought we will not do such a long trip right now. He is at an excellent boarding facility where we can view him via webcam everyday. I didn’t think I would miss him so much but leaving him there on that Monday was a very hard thing for me to do but we saw he is having fun with the other dogs so we take consolation in that. We got all his shots up to date and his latest doctor’s visit gave him a clean bill of health. He does have a little sensitive stomach where he cannot eat any other food brand that is not Purina so we only give him Purina and we give him raw fruits and vegetables.
We are glad Tholan chose us and we got him from you. He is a wonderful ‘friend’. Thanks again. Have a great X’mas and Happy Holidays.

Marilyn HELLO MARILYN,
Hi Marilyn, This is Rocco with his mom!!! click on the picture to go to his own page!
Just thought I would send a quick email to tell
you we are celebrating our 1st anniversary with Mae! She is absolutely the
best dog. She is so sweet to everyone and is about the most loving dog
ever. Most every day she rides with me to school to pick up our kids and is
the hit of the parking lot! All of our friends comment about her looks
(magnificent coat) and her personality (sweet, well-behaved, doesn't bark).
Even the veterinarians and our groomer have all complimented us on her
disposition!
All-in-all she is just a wonderful dog. Joe,
Grace, Sam and I all love her and feel like she was hand-picked for our
family.
Thanks again for all your good work in breeding
these fabulous dogs! Attached is a picture of our sweet Mae!

Hi Marilyn,
Just wanted to let you know that Cassy is just a great dog. Attached
a couple of pictures. She is now 5 months old and continues to learn new
behaviors every day. We are going to puppy kindergarten and she is the
star! After the first 10 minutes of socializing with all the other pups she
gets down to business. She has learned so quickly it amazes me. The
director suggested I do some agility work since she able to jump over a
stick held higher than her head and has NO fear of going through a tunnel.
It just may be fun and she would love it. She is able to "heel", "sit",
"down", "stand", "wait" "stay" "give five", "shake", "roll over", and is
working on sitting up and playing dead! I spend so much time laughing at
her, it is unbelievable. She absolutely LOVES to play and does so ALL DAY.
Thanks again for this incredible dog. I hope all is well with you and that
you are able to continu e breeding the best schnauzers in the midwest. Take
care, Marge
Hi Marilyn, Last weekend we took Schultz on his first beach walk. Olympia has lots of lovely beaches around. He didn’t dive into the water but liked exploring and sniffing around. He’s playful and fun but amazingly calm most of the time for a puppy. He’s all house trained now and is great with the kids. He’s a voracious eater and dances and flips around when it’s meal time. He sleeps all night and loves to snuggle. He likes to play catch and actually drops the ball for you to throw. And he loves to walk around the block. We usually attract a group of neighbor kids that join us on the way around our loop. It’s become a nightly ritual after dinner. Here’s a photo of him at the beach. We hope you are well. Thanks again for our terrific pup! Christine
Hello Marilyn,
Well, it's been two months since we brought "Courtney's King Louie" home
with us. Just as you promised, he has adapted to both city apartment living
and country freedom. Our decision to get a "teenager" of five months was
the best we could have made. Because you set him on the right path with love
and obedience, Louie is so eager to please us in everything we are teaching
him. Jim and I comment every day how Louie exactly fits us and
how fortunate we are to have him in our lives. He is as happy as a dog
could be. He adores his big brothers and for me, it's wonderful to see my
men learning to be leaders of our pack.
I've been working very hard in the training department just as you and Cesar
would like and the results are incredible. The PurinaChow website is a
great help both for info and training videos too. Louie learns very quickly
and the only thing that I know I still have to do for him is to socialize
him more with an outside program. Jim and I are so glad we waited until
retirement to add a puppy to the family because we're able to spend the
quality teaching time Louie requires.
I'm also glad that I did my research and found the very best breeder. Jim
and I know that you would be so proud of Louie. To us, he
represents the very best of Dragonward Kennels. You certainly have my
permission to add my email to your list of very satisfied customers.
Sincerely,
Nancy and Jim Courtney
  
Dear Tim and Marilyn:
Jerry and I cannot begin to tell you how much we appreciate what you do! Jase is such a wonderful addition to our family. He is such a wonderful little boy! He has learned ‘sit’ and ‘down’ all in the last two days.
Although he likes to wake me up around 6:30 AM each morning, he is adjusting to his ‘routine’ very well. He is one smart little bugger! He even likes to eat some dry puppy food before getting his breakfast of moistened puppy chow. He is very happy to be here with us and is learning his surroundings quite well.
Potty training is going along smoothly with only a few ‘road bumps’. That is to be expected. He is such a wonderful dog, a pure testament to the great dogs you have bred over the years.
As soon as we get another card reader for our digital camera, I will send you some updated photos of the little bugger soon.
He has finally decided that it is a game to run as fast as he can out into the kitchen and then, when he gets into something that scares him, he comes running lickety split back into the living room. Not much else seems to bother him. He is so well adjusted for being only 9 weeks old.
Again, we can’t thank you enough for the work that you two do to help the miniature schnauzer breed become the best there is, hands down. I, for one, love them so much, that I cannot imagine having another type of dog. They’re just the best!
Marilyn, I hope you get a rest before the next batch comes along, although just seeing those little faces would be enough of a boost for me, knowing the great dogs they will become and the happy people you will make with them as their ‘babies’. I am so grateful to have found your website and to have made your acquaintance. Tim, the next time we come to get another one, I hope it is over the weekend so that we can meet you too. No ice either! lol
Thanks for your time, patience, caring and love for the greatest breed there is!
Sincerely,
Jerry Griffie Meri Jo Hall Eric Griffie Hillary Griffie Sarah Griffie And of course, Jase!
Life is God`s gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to God. Make it a fantastic one.
Marilyn,
Just thought I would give you and update
on Milo. He is soooo sweet. He has been so good. He slept in his crate
right beside Madie's. We covered them separate and not together as they really
don't know each other but they could sense the other....he slept until 7:30
this morning and no accidents in his crate. Took him outside and he pee'd and
then he ate and went out and did #2. He has went back outside and done his
buisness again. He is really good. He LOVES Madie's bed that we have
upstairs in our room. Here is a picture of him I just took while I was
writing this. ha ha. Madie is loving him and playing much more today. They
are to funny. I can't get them to sit still long enough to get a picture of
both of them but I will soon. lol lol
I will for sure keep you updated on any
changes and send you pictures of him growing so you can see that as well.
Hugs and love,
Dawn~

Just an update -
We've named her
Shaylee and her personality is really starting to bud. The first 24 hours was
all of us getting used to each other and now she's bonding well. She sleeps
snuggled next to us at night and Steph bought a baby sling she rides in when
Steph goes for her walks each day. She has "seamlessly" integrated with our
Shitzu and the two of them play well and nap together. She pounces on squeaker
toys like a panther. You did an excellent job at assessing her personality to
our preferences.
Lee & Stephanie (Enticer June 07 litter female)
Shaylee is a girly girl!! 10 weeks and growing!
marylin You should get a smile out of this. Tonight I went out to pick up supper and while I was out Joann started to vaccum the living room. Gunther as usual had toys spread out on the floor and everytime the vaccum would get close to a toy he would grab it and take it down stairs. He did this untill he had rescued all his toys from the mean old vaccum. Joann could hardly complete the job because she was laughing so hard. Any wonder why we love him so much?
Marilyn......Wow!! Can you believe it......our
baby will be 5 months old on Friday!! I loved seeing the pictures of Maggie's
brothers Lance and Knight.......what beautiful boys they are!! I can't even
begin to tell you how much we are enjoying watching Maggie grow from a tiny
puppy to "our sweet girl"! She is a giggle a minute and is really turning
into my little "cuddle pup"!! When I wake up in the morning, she's nuzzling
my face (yes, she sleeps with us now!) and in the evening, she and Cali like
to wrestle around (Maggie turned that old girl into a puppy again!) and in
between, she's playing, playing, playing!! I never had a pup that likes to
squeak, squeak, squeak the toys quite like she does!!! And she's still trying
to get that puppy that lives in Cali's water dish.........more giggles!!
Maggie is one happy, healthy, and busy little girl..........and we just adore
her! (from the tip of her little tail to her perfect little ears and the
cowlick on her nose!!)
When you said that Dragonward puppies were well
trained, I never thought you meant helping load the dishwasher, put clothes
into the dryer, dust, and sweep the floor (that dust mop is soooooooo much
fun!!) WeI get "help" with everything!! She will be making her first "big
car ride" to Grandma's in Pennsylvania this week and I'm sure will have a ball
with my two teenage nieces who are planning on spoiling her rotten. Russ keeps
saying that he never imagined how much he would enjoy a schnauzer puppy ( I
tried to tell him!!)
I am so grateful to have found your
website...........thank you so much for all you do to bring these wonderful
Dragonward puppies into the world. I can't imagine my life without a special
schnauzer in it...........the first morning that I woke up and felt her warm
little body snuggled next to me, I had to smile. I knew that my Libby was
looking down from the back of her couch in puppy heaven and wagging her little
stump because she knew that Mommy was happy again.
Sue and Russ
Thank you Marilyn for taking the time
to educate us in the best choice possible for the right puppy. Halle
Blackberry has already stolen our hearts and she's made herself right at home
in the eight days that we've had her. She now weighs 4 lbs and eats like a
little pig. She is so sweet, yet very feisty and quite confident. She's very
smart and doesn't forget anything! I turned the faucet on outside to water
flowers and she got a drink there, and the next day she immediately ran to the
faucet and tried to turn the handle with her mouth - it was hilarious. Potty
training is going great and she doesn't whine at night. Everyone that sees
her just falls in love. She sleeps with her bear you gave her every night.
They all had to hold her at the vet office today. We are so happy and Ron is
himself again :)
Love
Kim & Ron

Here is MS BLUE!! and her two kids! The smile on ALL of their faces tells it's OWN story! No words needed!
Meet Thoren's Thunder Blue Wildcat!
Hi guys hope all is well with you Marilyn and Tim,
and dogs. Just thought I would give you a quick update on our Big Blue Baby
Boy. What we have all known ever since we were children, we have been taught
you see lightning, but you hear Thunder. I can tell you that is so true.
Thoren's Thunder Blue Wildcat certainly lives up to that saying. This guy
chatters all of the time, you have never heard such sounds, we are getting
pretty good with understanding most of his special talk. rra rra rrrrrra,
means I need you to look at me, ra, means time to go out, I think at the end
of week 2 we will have more words in our vocabulary. He is really cool, we
have a life size statue of a miniature schnauzer in our bedroom, about five
times a day Blue goes right up to his face and gives him a real talkin to,
Blue lets him know in no uncertain terms who is in charge in this house now.
It is a hoot to see. In the last week he loves to play with his crate, and
crate door, while he is outside the crate he likes to open and close the door
several times a day. He will be walking by the crate and push the door closed
with his nose, several minutes later he will walk back over and slap at the
door with his foot till it comes open, I told you this little guy is real
smart. He is also doing great at night time, we put him in his crate just
before we go to bed, he will sleep all night until 4:30 am and we hear a
little very quiet, rrrrrraarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, that means get your but
out of that bed I need to pee, when we come back in he will go back to sleep
till 7:30 am when we hear the same little muffeled
rrrrrraarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, that one means Blue is ready to eat a big
breakfast. What a life!!! See ya Ray
Marilyn and Tim, here are some pics with the girls and Jack when we came home after Dragonward. He has done excellent and is very much a part of the family. The baby, Brynn, and Jack have gotten along very well the past week and Brynn truly has become gentle and watchful towards Jack. Kenna, our middle girl, likes to walk Jack and hold the leash like she is in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive, it is truly funny. Jack actually eats it up and walks with a kind of priss himself…J Jessa is not over joyed with “scooping” after Jack, but we have not had to ask her lately to help, she just does it. As for Myra and I, we love him and think that he was exactly what our family needed…to tell you the truth for her it is another “baby”, and for me it is a companion and partner in a sea of estrogen…J Talk to you later, The DeLuca’s
BTW Tim, the next pics will be
just for you…LOL!!!!!!
Marilyn, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
Gracie is 4 months old today! I can't imagine my life without her in it.
We went to observe the puppy kindergarden class this past Tuesday and we had a
ball. She is so adaptable and sweet and fun.I had to go back to work this past
Tuesday and I hated leaving her but my girlfriend's husband came over while I
was gone. She's adjusting well but I definitely prefer being at home so time
will tell how much longer I will be working full time. I celebrated my 30
years at the hospital this past Thursday and they gave me a wonderful surprise
party.I'm off work tomorrow so Gracie and I will go to Lowe's and Petsmart..I
got nice gift cards for both places..so will find Gracie a nice 4 month
birthday present! I took pictures with my digital camera but am having
problems downloading..as soon as I figure why I'll send some pictures. While I
was off the lab celebrated lab week and each department was raffling off gift
baskets.My girlfriend won the dog lovers basket and she called me up and asked
to speak with Gracie...came over and gave it to her. Gracie had a ball opening
up all the fun gifts.I know you've had many special puppies over the
years...but I can't imagine you having anyone as special as my sweet Gracie.
She has all the wonderful qualities wrapped up in one cute furball package!
gracie and I are off for a stroll..just wanted to update you on my little
Princess!
Rosemary and Gracie
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just want you to know how great Cosmo is (I guess you
already knew that). He is great. He is getting used to the kennel and sleeps
through the night w/o accident. The part I cannot get over is how much of a
love bug he is. He is not happy unless one of us is touching him. He likes to
sleep on Christine's feet. He is great with the kids!! Brian
