| Integrity Farm testimonial or reference
----- Original Message ----- From: Douglas Newhard To: integrityfarm Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 9:44 PM Subject: Open House Dear Brenda & Ken, It was so great to meet you both yesterday. Doug and I were so impressed. The dogs are all so beautiful, the pups, moms and the big guys outside. We're in love. It's obvious how hard you've worked, all the effort you put in to the planning, layout and care of the dogs. You've done a great job! Yesterday could have been very chaotic, but we watched you answer every question, handle every concern, keep track of who's who and schedule "the pick-ups" all the while keeping your eyes and ears focused on the moms and pups. WHEW! Although we're still broken hearted, (it's only been a month since we lost Murphy), we're so looking forward to sharing our hearts and our home with one of your beautiful little boys! Let us know if there's anything else you need from us. If not we'll see you on the 13th with the balance due and open arms! Thanks for such a fun Open House! Fondly, Edna & Doug Newhard ----- Original Message ----- From: Ellen Lathi To: integrityfarm Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 6:46 AM Subject: Cooper, son of Sandy Hi Brenda, Just to thank you and let you know that Coopie is the most incredible dog - extremely handsome, like his dad, and ready to work. He has done very well in obedience and is starting rally (for fun, not competition) - he is calm and well mannered and gets along with young and old, big and small dogs, and people and kids. He goes to the dog park and playgroup every day and will swim and play endlessly. He, of course, loves to eat . . . He has developed into an exceptional boy and a great pet and we love him enormously. Thought you'd like the feedback on Mr. Cooper. I've enclosed a picture from when he was about 6 months old, Warm regards, ~Dr Ellen Lathi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Keehbler To: integrityfarm@comcast.net Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 10:02 AM Subject: Lambeau - Mason pup Brenda- Words cannot express how happy we are with our new puppy. His name is Lambeau (after the Green Bay Packers home field). He is a gem. He has slept through the night since we brought him home with no mess in his crate when we wake up at 6 am. He’s always happy, tail wagging and eager to be pet. We love him as if he were always with our family. Our boys are thrilled to have a new baby brother and have played with him every moment they can including in pajamas at 6 am outside! I just thought you should know that all your hard work and dedication makes a difference to families like ours – we are looking forward to many, many years together. Thank you. Tim, Christin, Zane, Alec & Lambeau Keehbler -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: integrityfarm@comcast.net Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 4:02 PM Subject: Dory Hi Brenda Just a quick not to tell you how much joy Dory has brought to the house and to our other lab, Hattie. There was a week and half adjustment period on Hattie's part but after that they are best of buds. Dory will go right up to Hattie and take the chewy right out of her mouth then they chase one another around the house. They are so mush fun, and fun to watch them interact. I am so glad we found your kennel. It's one of the nicest facility we have ever seen and very well run. I will no problem recommending Integrity Farms to anyone looking for a GOOD lab breeder. I know Dr. Rabaut has mentioned your name to several clients already and so have I. Thanks again Brenda for everything we have just fallen in love with that little yellow girl and so has Hattie. Sincerely Rose Ann Dr. Rabaut is sending you a picture Dr. Susan Rabaut, DVM Framingham Animal Hospital 1415 Edgell Road Framingham, MA 01701 Phone: (508) 877-0900 Email: Framingham.Animal.Hospital@comcast.net We are located at the Framingham/Sudbury town line across from the Nobscot Boy Scout Reservation. --------------------------------------------------------------- The pictures above all came with lovely letters, But I can only give a few letter samples my web site is already huge, and honestly I find people only read so much. Also the videos and news paper articles of our PUPS making the news, rescue dogs, reading dogs, nursing home/ hospital dogs all that these people have done should speak as a reference. I am doing this because people have asked for phone number for references and honestly sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the calls and e-mails and it is just to much to ask a new puppy owner to take on all these calls and e-mails. I hope this satisfies your questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Integrityfarm@comcast.net ; Me Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2007 7:57 PM Subject: We Love Our Boy! Hi Brenda, I don't know if you remember me because i was like 6 at the time, now 13. My parents are Karen and Tom . We got one of Lady Jane and Bounders pups.He is not a pup anymore, he's now almost 8. I just wanted to say Thank You so much. He is such a wonderful dog, and i don't think anyone could ask for a better dog then him. Even people that hate dogs, love Him. He's a big teddy bear and such a joy to be around. He's a big, lazy boy who just wants a ton of love and gives you 100% love back 27/ 7. My dad's friend loves Him to death. Everytime he comes over our house our boy paces at the window waiting for him to come in and roll all over the floor with him. He's also so good with my 5 yr old sister. She'll lay on him and he'll just kiss her for hours. He's also very protective of her. Its so cute. The other day my sister went to go to her friends house across the street and my mom let him out to go to the bathroom and he'll just watch her until she get's in the house then he'll go do his stuff. It's like he's parenting her. Today, March 19, 07 we brought him up to Hampton beach (Even though for some reason he HATES water? Don't know why, we never forced him.) before he's not allowed to be on it and it was so hilarious watching him run back and forth with his tongue hanging out to the side. A recent thing we've been noticing with him,is if were not petting him in the morning or if were walking him and come across another dog and start petting the other dog, he'll sit there and point his big, brown eyes at you and start to whine. Its so adorable. In the morning he's so cute! He'll have his stuffed, fake, yellow ducky in his mouth and he'll grunt like a pig and he'll snort and bounce around until we greet him with a long pat. The one thing me and my mom were talking about the other night thats bad about having a lab is, if they do something wrong its hard to stay mad at them for over a minute because there so stinkin' cute! Our neighbors The Kimballs, Also bought a dog off of you. Major,and him are the best of buds. They love running back and forth in the yard together. The other day we brought him to a kids park near us and walked him down to the river behind it. This super nice lady and her two kids came running up to us freaking out, about how beautiful they thought he was. She mentioned she had been looking for a good English Style Lab Breeder and we gave her your website. So you'll probabally be getting a call from her or already did. Well I think its time for me to go. I just want to thank you for this wonderful dog, friend, and life time cutie. You have a gift for breeding beautiful Labs and no Lab beats the Labs that come from you. Thank you so much, good luck with your breeding program,and keep up the excellent work!

She is just the greatest little puppy and we are so happy that she is a part of our family! Everyone comments on how cute she is and what a great Lab look she has. She definitely has a spunky, mischievous side, too. We are taking puppy classes and she goes to daycare some days where she plays with friends. After learning that she was a singleton, the trainers remark what a great job the breeder (you) did in socializing her. We just wanted to thank you for our precious little girl! I attached a recent picture of her. Hope you are doing well. Best, Rushmie and John --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: integrityfarm@comcast.net Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 4:38 PM Subject: RE: Mars Shimmings Dear Brenda, Mars has been in our family here in Freehold, NJ for approximately two and a half years now and the 308 mile one way trek to your farm in Derry, NH was the most worthwhile and rewarding journey that our family has ever made. Mars is regularly complemented for his temperament, excellent coat and general handsome features. This is especially pleasing on the numerous occasions that various vets have been so enthusiastic when they give Mars his routine exams, immunizations, etc. I am frequently encouraged by these vets, (and also others, including his former obedience trainers), to get Mars certified as an official therapy dog due to his temperament. All of these features are thanks to your excellent breeding skills and I have recommended you warmly to all that have enquired with regard to his origin. There are those that think that I am crazy to have travelled so far to obtain a responsibly well bred healthy Chocolate Labrador Puppy, but the justification of what a delightful and healthy dog that brings us so much joy is evident for all to see! There are so many irresponsible breeders out there! Even if I had not bought a puppy from you, your website is an excellent education resource for all responsbile potential owners. When we purchase our next puppy we will make the trek back to you all over again. The only difference will be to split the 612 miles over two days instead of within one! That first journey served him well in retrospect as he travels with us without any complaints at all. Over July 4th weekend this year we drove up and around to the Adirondacks and Vermont, based in Burlington, VT with one of the nights spent in the local VCA vet boarding facility while we went up to Montreal, and all the others in a local four star hotel. Mars was his usual well tempered self throughout. As you can see from the photos, Mars is a true Labrador in that he simply adores swimming and retrieving things in our pool! If you ever need any form of testimonial or reference I would be delighted to be of assistance. Thank you so much for such a wonderful addition to our family, Louise Shimmings ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------== ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: integrityfarm@comcast.net Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 10:29 AM Subject: Thank you from the Campbell's (2 pics included) Dear Brenda, My wife and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful female chocolate (later named Kelsey….from your Bella X Bentley litter). Prior to getting Kelsey my wife and I had to put down our first dog Shea (got from a breeder in CT...at age 1 we were told she had chronic renal failure which sadly ended her wonderful life with us prior to turning 4). As dog people we knew we wanted to get another “brown clown” as we call them but wanted to be sure we didn’t get our hearts broken again. We instantly feel in love with her the second we had her in our arms. We have had no problems with her whatsoever. She instantly grew a love for the water, romps in the field, rides in the truck and making new dog buddies in our neighborhood. She has such a wonderful demeanor. We even started to take her to Puppy classes where she will do just about anything for a small piece of cheese. We are truly blessed to have gotten such a wonderful dog from you and look forward to growing together as a family any making lots of memories. I would absolutely recommend anyone who is thinking of getting a lab to go thru you. You have forever changed our lives. Best of luck with future litters. P.S. Next year we plan on moving into a bigger house and getting another “brown clown” so I will keep you on speed dial.
