Here is only a small sample of the letters

we have received from families

who have adopted a puppy

from us at

WolfCreek Labradors

Just wanted to give you an update! Hawk is such a great dog! He's had a busy week. I've taken him to Meghan's school bus stop all week long and he loves it! As soon as the bus comes, he sits and watches it stop, go up the street and turn around, then come back. He won't leave until it's out of sight. He's gotten good on his leash, too. And also is getting good at "sit". Plus he definitely knows what "treats" are! Monday we took him trick or treating. We knew he couldn't walk the whole way and we couldn't carry him for long so we got out the stroller. ha! He rode in the stroller very nicely and got a lot of attention! He loved everyone, costumes and all! :) He's met a lot of people this week....kids' friends, UPS guy and even a Richfield police officer who stopped to play with him while Alyssa had him out getting the mail.
Hawk is doing well in his crate, too. He goes in there sometimes on his own just to lay down and take a nap. And he's been good at night, too.
I took him to his vet appointment Thursday. Everyone loved him! The vet didn't want to let him leave the office. She kissed and hugged him the whole time. She commented on how well behaved he was. Then he stole her stethoscope and tried to run off with it. :) He's so darn cute. And growing!
Just wanted to keep you updated on how he's doing. He's such a great puppy! I'll keep sending updates now and then so you know how he's doing...and growing! Those paws are big!
Have a good weekend!

Dear Adele,

Our wonderful Luke grows in leaps and bounds. Our vet thinks he is very gorgeous and gives you great kudos on his confirmation and handsomeness.
He is healthy and happy and having a grand time in life. He is in puppy kindergarten and doing well. He has had lots of other people and other place experiences. We took him up to the lake last weekend and he took to the water with ease. There was slushy ice at the edge of the water and he romped through that. He got to dig in sand on the beach for the first time Life is great with our boy Luke! Thanks again Margot

Adele and Mark, Just a few lines how Henry is doing.

 He is a ball of fire then, then its a nap. Everything goes in his mouth, go on a walk and he dont even stop just opens his mouth and there it goes. All in all he is a great puppy, and he starts puppy class next week.

He has been swimming once but dont want to push him on that. But we do have a small kids pool and he goes in every time he goes out. well going to go thank you for the opportunity for us to give Henry a home.   Sincerely Charlie n Kelli. PS wish I had a dollar for every compliment we have had on Henry, I think we all could retire!!!

Hi Mark & Adele,

I thought I would take a minute to let you know that Hunter has adapted very well to his new home.  He did very well his first night alone from his brothers and sisters.He went to the vet on Wednesday and everything checked out well. He is so much fun!!!This past week has been a real challenge with the amount of rain we received and the numerous trips to the yard to house train him. He loves his crate. We keep the door open when we are around and he will go in by himself and take a nap.Everything to him is new and curious! It takes him a long time to go for walks do to the fact he has to stop and look at everything. He is eating and drinking well and is full of energy!!!

There are a lot of smiles and laughing at our house. 

Thank You

Fred E

It's official he's Otis and it's perfect!!! He did great in the car and loved Petsmart. We have a vet appt. on Monday morning at Creekside and are now preparing for our first evening!! Thanks so much for everything Mark and Adele, our girl is happy again. ~Greg and Nicole~

Hi Adele! Hope all is well with you and your family as Easter quickly approaches. Just wanted to tell you how wonderful it is having Otis!  We recently lost Greg's Dad after a very long battle. This has been a very hard time for Olivia, she was very close to him and visited at least 4 times a week at the nursing home. Let me tell you, our boy Otis has been a Godsend! He follows Liv everwhere and rarely is she out of his sight! He is always "in our pockets" but even more so lately. We talk about you all the time and are telling everyone to check out your new pups!! So cute! Anyway thanks so much for bringing Otis into our lives and have a Blessed Easter~ Nicole O

Dear Mark & Adele

Thought you would like this picture, took it on a hike in the Cuyahoga Valley metro parks.  Also, just wanted to let you know we absolutely love Henry.  We could not ask for a better dog.  He is loving, a great personality, and a wonderful friend.  Not only that we get continuous comments on how beautiful he is wherever we go.  We already started talking about our next dog (not until spring 2011 though). 
Thank you again & best wishes,
Jeff, Terra & Henry

Hi Mark & Adele,

We are having a wonderful summer with Nala! She is such a curious, fearless, energetic little girl. We usually get worn out before she does (we try to work in shifts). She loves chasing whatever we throw, playing in the water, running in the yard, and, of course, chewing anything she can get a hold of.

No matter where we go, she immediately becomes the center of attention. She is so beautiful, everyone wants to pet her and play with her. I have some "non-dog" people in my family, and even they have said they would want a dog like her. She is awesome with all the attention. She just takes to any situation so easily.

 Teddy is getting so big, he is smart he is staying, sitting, retrieving, and coming on command.  Has slept thru the night since day one.  He has been a wonderful dog.  I love working with him he picks up things quickly which makes it enjoyable. 
Hope all is well
Jeff

Mark and Adele,
 
Hello!  We just love our little girl! She had a big adventure yesterday did wonderful.  We took her to our cousin's house and she met 5 year Max who's also a yellow lab.  Then we went to a party and she was the center of attention.  Matthew told her she was his little sister now and he would take good care of her.  We spent a good 20 minutes introducing her to the crate.  We call it her "home" and gave her little treats each time she went inside.  She had an awesome first night.  For the first 4 hours I kept checking on her!  We took her out twice to go "out."  We have a spot in the yard for her to go to the bathroom.  She's done well.  We praise her often! 
 
Thank you for making this match!  We just love her so much already!   
Mark, Happy Father's Day!  We decided to name her WolfCreek's "Princess" Nala because her mom is "Queen" Sheba. 
 
Have a great day and we'll send pictures soon,
 
Janet, Chris, Matthew, and Nala!

Hi Adele,

We remain thrilled and happy with Caesar. 
 We attended Puppy School at Papp's Dog Services with Caesar, and we're now in the second week of the Beginner's
Obedience Class.  We truly believe that you and Mark did a marvelous job in your basic socializing with
Caesar and, I'm sure, with all of his litter mates. He's a bouncy happy dog,
and you can actually see his thoughts working as he meets new situations

Many thanks for all your help.  Sincerely, Marianne

Hi there-
Brutus is doing great.  He was at the vet today and weighed in at 47lbs.  Vet said he looks great. 
Curious as to how much you are feeding Rachel?  How big is she? We are still doing 3 cups a day of NutraMax.
Also Brutus is in puppy school and is the best in his class.  Listens very well and learns quick.
We are enjoying every minute of him!
Cindy

Adele,
 
Chloe is a wonderful puppy!
 
Our ride home fine.  Choe slept 90% of the ride home in her little kennel on the seat where the kids and I could "watch her."  She barked only once and we all laughed because it was so loud in the car.
 
Monday Chole went to a baseball practice (chased three bikes down the sidewalk, it was hilarious!), sat outside at Starbucks, met Wrigley, and played outside with many children of all ages.  We have her gated in the kitchen and laundry room where she found Andy's sock (he missed the washing machine).  She loves sticks, the larger the better (she likes us to help her carry them).
Our cats watch her from across the room.  Occasionally they approach each other to check things out although Chloe backs away from the male.
 
Today we will spend at home outside doing yardwork.  We have .85 acres with woods across the back including an easement in front of a spring fed pond.  We have a line of 15' bushes along our west property line, so Chole has visual boundries on 2 sides of the property.  We will be invisible fence training her in the early fall.
 
We will be sending you pictures!!
 
We thank you so much for giving us this wonderful puppy.  It was time for us to add another family member and this was the perfect solution!!
 
Take care and God Bless You Too!!
 
Love,
Teri and the family

Patton is such a great dog. We absolutely love him so much. In fact, our last obedience school is this coming Thursday and it is the "advanced session." We spent 6 weeks in the beginner, 6 in the intermediate, and now the last is just about over. There is also something called "canine good citizen" and we might do that, too. He is a special dog!
 
Enjoy the photos and please use them for your site!!

Hi Adele,
 
Angel is doing great! It's like we have had her forever. Her and Brutus became fast friends. They are always playing and rolling around.  She is such a sweetheart. And she listens so well.  We are very happy with her, and we love her very much. She does very well with anyone she meets too. Kevin and I took her and Brutus over to my grandparents house and they just loved her.  She was very gentle. We both want to thank you again for letting us take her home. Kevin tried to call the other night but he just left a message. We took a few pictures of her and Brutus together as soon as I get a chance I will send you a few. Thanks again!  Talk to you soon!

Hi Adele,
 
I just wanted to let you know that our first week with Tucker has been a joy. He is so smart! And cuter than cute! Tim is in love with this little puppy and I've not seen him this happy, calm, or relaxed in a long, long time. I just knew this little guy was exactly what he needed in his life at this time.
 
His official AKC name is Sir Friar Tuck of WolfCreek and the papers have been sent in.
 
I've attached a pic of him on my deck. I only had about 937 pictures to choose from!
 
Hope all is well for you and you are resting after this exhausting experience. You did a great job though!!!!
 
Please keep in touch and let me know how my original little boy is doing and if he got placed with a family... I think of him often.
 
Thanks for everything and talk to you soon,
 
Angela

Hi Adele! 

We ended up naming him Rocky and we are having a wonderful time with him.  He learns very quickly!  He comes consistently and knows his name.  He was mouthing the boys legs as they ran yesterday, but after only a couple of times he quit.  He starts to chase and open his mouth as they run by, but it's like he remembers and then stops himself.
He said Rocky is really healthy with a great temperament

Thanks so much for everything.  We love Rocky!

Michelle

Just dropping you a line and wishing all Brutus' littermates a happy birthday, this past weekend. We took him to DairyQueen for some ice cream. The vet said that he is doing great. We have Dr. Pentacost at Animal Clinic Northview in North Ridgeville.
Brutus is weighing in at 73 lbs and is the fastest dog I have ever had. He also has the most athletic moves of any Lab I have ever seen. He has a thing for water bottles. He takes them out of the garage and pokes holes in them, so that he can have a drink of water. Then he chews the bottle for a while.
He is a SPOILED dog, but a good dog. Whereas Hannibal is the protector, Brutus is the lover. He demands attention by putting his paw on you or standing on his hind legs and putting his front paws on your chest to get loving.
 
If you ever need a referral, please consider us. We would be honored to show Brutus or speak of your kennel in your favor. I still intend to get back and bring Brutus for you to see. He is doing wonderful.
 
Tom, Cindy, Haley, Allison
Hannibal, and Brutus

These 2 were the talk of Estes Park, CO.  They are fantastic companions, and truly joyous to have around.

House breaking is coming along good, we had family staying here the past weekend, and there was a couple of accidents # 1, but since they left, none. he is adapting to his crate very well. He has sit command good, working on down, and walking on loose leash is coming along. 50 ft, then sits to check out something be it a car or motorcycle or a person walking across the street, and always checking out smells.
He has been swimming once but dont want to push him on that. But we do have a small kids pool and he goes in every time he goes out. weel gonna go thank you for the oppurtunity for us to give Henry a home. Sincerly Charlie n Kelli. PS wish I had a dollar for every compliment we have had on Henry, I think we all could retire!!!

Some notes about My Dog Jake

 

Mark...
 
No words can express our sorrow. Know you and Adele are in our thoughts and prayers for sure. We feel so blessed to have known him and so proud to call him Zeke's daddy. Know also he will live forever in Zeke and all his "kids"...those of us to have his pups are so lucky...I know we will be eternally grateful as Zeke is the most amazing dog. How blessed you were to have a dog like him...now you have all those good thoughts to remember.
 
He was so lucky to have you guys as his "friends and companions."
 
Love,
Linda, Jeff
Taylor & Zeke

Dear Mark,

 My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. I know that someday i will also be faced with losing a my true girl. I bought Daisy from you six years ago, the last pup to go from your July litter. She is the dog that sets standards for all dogs that I will have in my life time. Daisy is the daughter of Casey and your beloved Jake. She is as loyal as the day is long..... just as her father. She is a terrific swimmer and dock diver and has entertained many friends and family on a Sunday afternoon at our lake house....just as her father. What a wonderful legacy Jake has created by bringing joy, happiness, and true companion ships in many of peoples hearts. How proud you must be for having such a loyal and loving friend as " My dog Jake". 

Mercedes Rorick

*********************

I saw on your web site that your dog Jake passed away in 2008. Just wanted you to know that I got one of Jake's puppies from Norita Blue in Norton 5 years ago. My dog, also named Jake after his champion father, is just a wonderful, very smart black lab. Now 5 years old as of Aug. 24th he is my 3rd black lab and the best one ever! I have an in-ground pool at my house in Strongsville (of course Jake swims) and a house at Put-in-Bay, South Bass Island where Jake enjoys the ferry rides, island walks, lake swims and meeting tourists.  

Thought you would enjoy hearing about one of your Jake's descendents.
