Hi Yvonne, my husband and I were so privileged to buy an absolutely beautiful and amazing puppy from you. She was born Jan 2022 and you had named her Annabelle. I just wanted you to know that she is the best thing that ever happened to us. I have attached a few pictures to show you how gorgeous she is. She also turned out to be the kindest, most loving, intuitive baby I have ever known. She is a dream; she loves absolutely everything and everyone. The only time she barks is to alert us that someone is at the door. Oh, and she is fearless-nothing scares her, not even fireworks!! She is so docile and amenable to just about everything that I am in the process of having her certified as a Therapy Dog for. I tested her at the hospital that I work at and she was utterly amazing-like she had already been a Therapy Dog forever. So thank you, the incredible breeding process you have is without question the best. When we took Maxine to the vet the first time, he literally looked at her in awe. He knew right away that she came from excellent breeding.

Hi Yvonne, hope you and your family are doing well. It’s hard to believe that my little boy will be 2 in November!  He’s just a bundle of joy, and I thought you might like to see in this video how much he enjoys the water.  He’s a great little swimmer! Alss, Oliver likes sitting at the park with the people better than playing with other dogs. 🤣 We love him so much!

Yvonne- Happy Holidays! Just wanted to drop a holiday greeting in the mail to you and let you know that Gunner is doing great! We are so happy we made the decision to adopt him. He is sooooo adorable and sweet.

My boys are in LOVE for sure!! He certainly completes the family. I have had so many compliments on him from various people-hats off to you for breeding such lovable little bundles of joy. Again, happy holidays! 

Here is a picture of Dexter. He’s such a sweetie and we love him so much! His favorite thing is to play….. he loves for us to throw his ball so he can retrieve it! 

I feel so lucky to have Bentley & Lexi in my life!! Thank you Yvonne for these special gifts!! Becky Bentley is hilarious and a “happy” spoiled puppy, Lexi too. Interesting, Bentley recognizes dogs and other animals on the tv or pictures of them on the computer; Lexi not so much, but she copies Bentley. They are both very smart and athletic – great at catching balls midair.

If you are looking for a Cavachon puppy to warm up your life, look no more! After much research on Cavachons and even more research about breeders, we found Cavachons by Design and couldn’t be happier with our Winnie! Everything Cavachons by Design says about their puppies and care is true! One week after receiving our puppy, we are thrilled to say that because of her excellent training and quality of life before she came to us, she is sleeping through the night, is almost potty trained, calm and loving, not to mention the cutest ball of fur on the planet! Yvonne (the breeder0 was like a friend, answering all of our questions, calling us and helping us to choose the best puppy for our needs and lifestyle. If you have any questions (we sure did) about most any aspect of raising a puppy, Cavachons by Design has brilliant information that is user friendly and WORKS!! We couldn’t love or be more happy with Winnie. Best of luck to you!

Hi Yvonne, I have been meaning to write you forever and as a New Year’s resolution highlighting GRATITUDE – now is the time!

We adopted “Kipper” over two years ago and he has brought nothing but sheer joy and love to our entire family and community. His name is Cisco (named for a beach in Nantucket that is sentimental to our family). He is a small, dark, handsome, charming little guy.

Prior to adopting Cisco, my mother became very ill and the emotional weight and sadness of the situation compelled my husband to expedite our search for a puppy – hopefully a Cavachon. In a search locally, we did not find an appropriate fit. Then one evening, our 11 year daughter said she found OUR dog “Kipper” on the internet and he was ready to be adopted!!! After talking with you and reading about all the families you have helped, we took the plunge.

That decision, to hit the “Paypal” has been the BEST financial and emotional investment we have made – dollar for dollar and pound for pound – we never could have imagined the magnitude of love 14 furry lbs. could bring to the world!!!!!

Cisco is ALWAYS loving and his temperament is IDEAL. Ready to relax or run around given the energy in the room. He “works” at my interior design studio as the Happy Ambassador – greeting every delivery person and client with a bone or smile.

Our friends and family fight over who gets to take him while we travel and we are fortunate that a friend (after falling in love with Cisco) adopted his half brother Max.

Whatever your formula is – you have it spot on!!! Not all dogs and breeders are created equally and you are an example of the best! We followed your advice and read the hand outs and everything from day 1 has been smooth sailing

From the bottom of our hearts in Chicago – you have enriched our lives and I couldn’t imagine Cisco not in it. Please continue to bring these lovely little guys into families like ours – it is the gift that keeps on giving!!!

Pete, our window cleaner, absolutely loves our dogs and took a short video of them today doing High 5’s!

We are IN LOVE!! Couldn’t be happier! Thank you for everything!

Hi Yvonne, I thought you would enjoy these pictures of Toby working as a Caring Canine Therapy Dog. The classroom lesson was on how to interact and approach dogs that are unknown to us. At the end of the lesson, the children took an “Oath of Kindness” towards animals and Toby put his paw print at the bottom.

The class time was enjoyed by all including Toby! We are having a great time with our therapy work. Have a wonderful holiday.

Hi Yvonne, I wanted to send you a picture of Cooper at 7 months old, isn’t he adorable. We just love him to pieces, he’s such a joy to have. He was just groomed and loves going to the groomer and being made a fuss over. He is also so spoiled. I love the small size of him, I can take him anywhere. He even comes to work with me and working in a college is great. All the students especially the girls love coming in to play with him and he has so much fun at work. My boss calls him the department mascot. Anyway I wanted you to see how he has grown, and the Vet say’s he is very healthy. (By the way Abby passed away 2/15/14), she fought very hard to stay with us, but we had to let her go. We miss her very much, but thankful we have this little guy in our life:). Thank you so much for raising such wonderful little puppies! 

He is even cuter in person! Just leaving the airport and can’t wait to get home and play. Thank you so much!!! 

Hi Yvonne, This is Rob and Amy from Albany New York. We purchased Casey (renamed Biscuit) last year in August and just wanted to follow up with you and let you know how wonderful our little Biscuit has been. We could not be happier. Every single time he is out we are asked what breed he is and he is quite the superstar. Feel free to use the picture if you wish and you may contact us anytime for a reference. Hope all is well with you. Kind Regards, 

Hi Yvonne. UPDATE!!! We are so exceedingly pleased with our Timmy!! From the first night on, he has been sleeping sound thru the whole night! And we are surprisingly on our way to house training! My David is even progressing so quickly on teaching him to sit and stay. Amazing!! . We’re thrilled with everything about him! Thank You so much for an amazing family member!! Also, to let you know, I just placed the NuVet supplements for our Timmy boy. Thank you so much for such a quality doggie…. We’re very happy. This little guy is well worth the investment on quality!! Sincerely, 

Hi Yvonne, Home at last after a long trip on the noisy airplanes. Sheebu slept through most of it and didn’t tinkle into the travel carrier. The TSA agents were delighted with Sheebu’s stunning cuteness and beautiful eyes. They let us through security without the usual hassle, though Sheebu probably would not have objected to a pat down, especially around the belly area. We arrived home to a welcoming group of friends with flowers and balloon at the airport. Sheebu was happy to get home and finally receive some food at 8:30 pm. She quickly devoured her food and water, and did her business on the wee wee pads on the kitchen floor. What a girl! I kept her in her carrier for the night and set it next to my bed, so she could see me. She rumbled around a bit tearing at a tag inside, but went off to sleep. At 6 am I took her downstairs and showed her the wee wee pad again she did her business. What a girl! So, the kitchen has been turned into her playroom where she is running as if training for the marathon. She is getting stronger and today she barked for the first time, what joy! Every moment she is learning about the world and spreading her love. We are so happy with her, she is perfection. We met a young family at the local cafe while having breakfast on the patio. They were very curious who was in the carrier, and so I took her out to meet the family. No surprise, after ten minutes they were in love, and took the information about you. They said they have a small house and she would be the perfect size. There will be many more to follow, I am certain. I’m sending a short video of Sheebu playing with the balloon her first morning. I will send emails as she is growing. You will be proud. Thank you a million times for breeding such quality pups for the world to enjoy. Warm regards, 

Yvonne, Spike is so precious! He is so friendly and cuddly and not the least bit skittish. When we arrived home, at least 8 neighbors stopped by and he was in heaven. I was worried it would be too much for him but he loved it! He went to everyone and was very playful! Spike slept beautifully on top of his snuggle puppy. He only peed once all day yesterday and was dry all night.

Hello Yvonne… Izzy update. Maddie’s little “love sponge” but she is in need of a bath!! She’s doing great… Enjoy the summer and the new pups coming soon. 

Thought you might like to see recent pics of Belle! she is sooooooooo cute! 

Yvonne, We received Lola and she is an absolute doll. The kids love her. She did fine her first night, with only a couple short whimpers. She seems to feel comfort in her new crate.

Happy thanksgiving to you and your family from ours. Jake is doing great …he had a happy thanksgiving with lots of kids. He did a great job just hanging out today and his training is going great! He’s a such a great little guy …. Everyone loves him, especially all the kids in this pic. Sadie, the baby in the pic, just loves him and Tyler (holding Sadie) helps us out with potty breaks and treats him like he’s his own. Warm regards,

We love Murray so much! He’s playful, well-behaved and very smart. At three months old he can ready sit and go to his crate on command. Murray is a great addition to our family and we can’t remember life without him! Thanks so much 🙂

Hi Yvonne, Scarlet loves the snow. She is the sweetest. Thanks

Hey Yvonne!! We love our 2 Cavachons so much that we maybe want another! We have Emmie and Cotton (formerly Ginger and Hannah) and they are our obsession!

Hi Yvonne, wanted you to see how nicely Bella and Tessa are bonding. Thank you and your family for helping us pick the perfect little pet for our family. Bella and Tessa are adjusting to each other very well. This comes with sincere appreciation. 

Dear Yvonne, I wanted to let you know how Jake is doing, now that we’ve had him for awhile. It’s been a month, and he is thoroughly entwined in our lives. He has the most balanced personality – playful yet a snuggler. He is absolutely adorable, and the kids and extended family all love him. He slept through the night since the third night, and does not object to sleeping in on the weekends!

He has spent a few weekends at the cabin and enjoys lake life, as he gets to be outside most of the day and go for boat rides. You wouldn’t even know we have a puppy in the car – he settles in for a long nap and does really well. No car sickness, thank goodness!

He’s going to puppy classes and doing very well. There’s another Cavachon in class, and the owners are comparing their puppy to Jake weekly. Unfortunately it’s because Jake has such a great personality and their little guy is timid and not social at all. You can definitely tell that Jake came from a loving and balanced home prior to joining us! Thank you for that. The vet even snuggled with him and said that he really has a great personality. He went to the puppy spa today, and the groomer couldn’t get over how well behaved he was — he does well with his baths at home, and she said she could tell he was a very well behaved puppy!

I can’t say enough good things about him …. I can tell he’s a very smart little guy, and my husband is impressed by his lack of barking. Katelynn laughed the other night, because he actually made a noise that sounded like “I want up”. Ryan enjoys having a puppy to run around with him and are great buddies; Katelynn is a little mother to him. We are still working on the potty training — he goes outside no problem, just waiting for the day for him to initiate but we know that comes in time.

Thank you again for everything,

Hi Yvonne!!!!!

Stella is amazing!!!!! Tessa is like a little mom to her. Stella may be the alpha dog eventually. She gives Tess a run for her money with toys. They are constantly taking what the other one has away from each other. I’ll send some more pictures as she grows!!!!!

I love my little pen. I had a trainer over after we got Tess from you and she suggested for my lengthy outings, i.e. golfing, to use that instead of the crate she slept in so she wouldn’t have any accidents in the crate where she slept. I don’t think she even pottied in the pen. Tessa still loves it today…..that is where she wants to be for her down-time. Eventually I will just gate off the mudroom and leave them both there with the door open to the little pen.

Update:

Hope this email finds you and your family doing well. The girls are awesome…. bringing us much happiness and companionship. We can’t imagine not having them. Tessa is such a good big sister and little Stella is such a little love.

Thought you would enjoy seeing them in their Halloween costumes…..I couldn’t resist. They are little butterflies…..Aren’t they beautiful….oh, and they were just groomed today too……love groom day.

…we are absolutely pleased with Yvonne and our puppy! Sooooo happy…. that we are getting a 2nd puppy (transaction already completed), I couldn’t write the check fast enough! Yvonne and our puppy get a “10” from our family.

Yvonne’s puppies seem to be extra special! And, my husband and I agree, that this puppy has changed our lives in such a positive and healthy way. It’s just amazing how much laughter and happiness this little dog has brought to our entire family and friends!!

I could go on and on…. adorable, smart, loving, etc…..

Sincerely,

Bentley finds out he’s getting a new sister Lexi! He’s soooo
excited!

Love!

Dear Yvonne, Grace, and Kevin,

Yvonne- I forgot to mention, Lola is a very smart dog and know lots of tricks including playing dead… Here is a short clip of her.

Dear Yvonne, I just wanted to write now that we have had a couple of weeks to settle Pixie into our family and tell you what a joy she is to have around.

She obviously already feels very much at home and is quickly adapting to our household routine. Pixie was sleeping through the night from her 3rd day and has already had great success in the house training department. We think she is a very clever little pup!

She is very sociable and loves meeting new people. We are about to start introducing her to a few “safe” dogs and now that she has had her 2nd set of shots the vet tells us she can begin puppy school. We think it’s safe to assume she’ll be top of her class!!

I’ve attached a picture so you can see how she is looking. Rest assured she is very much loved and pampered. I’ll send you more updates as she grows.

Travis flew into Knoxville to pick Pixie up

Thank you!
