Below are pictures and updates from Coda's new family in Royston, GA. Click here to see pictures of Coda during his first 8 weeks at Deepwood Acres. Pictured below at 11 months old.     Sandy, We have really been enjoying Coda over the past few months!!  The attached pictures are of him at 11 months old, 125 pounds and 30" at the shoulders.  Two of the pictures are from his training class where he received his CGC certification.  The other is from Thanksgiving as he tried so hard to visit with our grandma's Boston terrier (who on the other hand, didn't share the same excitement).  We love his nature with other dogs; he never meets a stranger and is always conscious to be gentle with them.  Soon we will be enrolling him in a nearby class to become a therapy dog.  We can't wait to travel with him to nearby schools and hospitals!  We will definitely keep you updated ~ Hope all is well with you!

Sandy, Here are a few pictures of Coda's 5th month.  He began the month at 65 pounds (sitting) and by 5 1/2 months was already 80 pounds.  I couldn't resist attaching the two photos - they are of "Park Day."  Coda loves these days - Several of our friends go each week to visit with each other.  Coda gets a chance to visit with family friends AND his best friend, 5 pound dog, Winnifred (they greet with kisses).&nsp; The children can't quite grasp that Coda is the puppy and Winnifred is the adult.  Coda does so well with the kids.  We love him so very much.  Thank you for everything - We hope that all is well at Deepwood. ~Ryan and Cassie

Sandy,

Here is a picture of Coda's Puppy Graduation.  He is 4 months old here and weighs 50 pounds.  You should have seen our efforts in snapping a shot; Coda was not the best model as he wiggled and wormed attempting to get out of his graduation hat.  He has learned all the basics and we have now begun his Intermediate class.  We are learning so much and are really enjoying our time with Coda.

Sandy,

Coda is still doing great!  He is 14 weeks old, 40 pounds and about 20 inches tall.  We have been enrolled in "Puppy Kindergarten" now for 5 weeks and are for sure that Coda is the star student!  He loves to go and socialize with the other pups and is always ready to be called on to show-off for the trainer.  We couldn't be more proud.

Thanks for everything.

Sandy,

We never imagined bringing Coda home to snow covered fields in Georgia!  Despite our surprise, Coda seemed to settle right in.  He barely moved around the 11 hour trip home; remaining seated in our laps, while laying his head on the towel that carried Dutches' scent the whole way.  He has been such a joy and has definately expressed much more of his playful personality as the days and weeks have progressed.  We thank you for him and look forward to keeping in touch!
