Tucker is a very smart and great dog. He lives up to his name, he loves to eat. He is dominated my the cat, but they tend to get along. That was our biggest concern. He loves going to the beach and has just started going into the water. He goes in up to his belly then just goes crazy and runs around. He is very happy. Attached is a photo of him now. Thanks for letting us have him! He is bringing so much joy into our home. Richard Summers Craig This is Sarah & we absolutely love Charlie!

Jerry and Mary Lou Clarks with " Amigo"~ Going Home Napa area Napa Vallley- English Cream Golden Retrievers-White retrievers- San Francisco-Bay area- Family pets- dogs- Kathleen, I was just thinking that I wanted to drop you a line to tell you how thankful we are for our puppy, Rangeley. He is such an incredible dog! He already passed his puppy preschool. He is almost 6 months old. He is so smart, gentle, and loving. He really is amazing. He was even super easy to house train and crate train. We bring him to the Stanford campus all of the time and he gets so much attention there. He goes to all of my son's soccer and baseball games and he stays calmly with us on the sidelines. He rides around in his crate in the car with us to most places that we go. He has added so much to our family. We feel so thankful. He brings us joy every day! I really can not thank you enough. He is the love of our family! We are stopped on the sidewalk all the time with questions about where we got him from and we are always recommending you all! We wish you all the best! Sincerely, The Roddens and Rangeley
