This is the story & pictures of Brian’s life since he came to us as a puppy in April 2009. Brian is the happiest, most social puppy we have ever met. He is also the kindest and gentlest (when he remembers how big he has grown) in the world. He exists in two states. Wide open or fast asleep. He and Mandy, our Golden retriever, who has recently went to doggy heaven, were best friends. Now, he has found lots of new buddies some you will see in these photos. We deeply love this bundle of joy and hope you enjoy the pictures.

John & Jonna Wurts Knoxville TN & Nova Scotia

Please keep in mind all of our pups owners are special to us. Once in a while we meet people with a story that really touches us. Such as it was with John Wurts and Jonna Datz. They are a wonderful retired couple from Knoxville TN. Both have enjoyed dogs all of their life, when they called us last spring they had to have one of their Golden Retrievers of 15 years old put to sleep.  You could tell they, like us, we're very close to their dogs. In fear of their other retriever Mandy being lonely they called us on a pup. We told John about a pup that was a special to us as we needed to bottle-feed him quite often. John without seeing him said they wanted him and his name would be Brian. I got a kick out of that as I've watched Family Guy a few times, so before he left he knew his name "Brian". Anyway as it turnes out these wonderful people have a place on the ocean up in Nova Scotia they visit every summer. We asked them to send us some pictures of him this past summer. We received a CD with the text to your left printed on it titled "Brian's Story"
