It's been a little over a year since we last spoke and I just wanted to give you an update on our lives with Gibby.





He has been the most wonderful dog ever since we brought him home. He's laying next to me on his back as I write





this e-mail. I took a lot of time out of my schedule to train him very early on and it is definitely paying off right





now. He is very well behaved and listens to our every command. He also gets along very well with other dogs. My





sister has a beagle that is roughly the same age as Gibby. The two of them absolutely love playing with each other.





Attatched are some pictures of Gibby to show you how much he's grown since we've taken him into our family.






We can't thank you enough for giving us this 16 lb. bundle of adorable! We couldn't have asked for a better





puppy. In fact, we are so pleased with him that we are considering getting another dog to accompany him when we get our own house (this is still a year or two away, but it's never too early to hope). As happy as we are with this little Shih Tzu, we are thinking about going with a different breed for the second dog. We have both agreed that a bulldog would be a good addition to this family. We see on your website that you do breed English Bulldogs and we would definitely prefer to get our second dog from you. Would you please give us some information with regards to owning a bulldog (price, health issues, compatibility with Shih Tzus, availability, etc.)?




Thanks again for making our lives much more complete. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season.









I just wanted to say hi and let you know that our babies are doing great! We named the new 








baby Kiya (Sockie). Keiko was a little uneasy at first about our new addition but she warmed








up quickly. We have to keep reminding her that Kiya is not her “TOY”. It is rather funny though,








we can ask Keiko to go get “sissy” and she will run right to Kiya. Our whole family has fallen in 








love with these two puppies and we can not thank you enough. We will certainly keep you in








mind if we hear of anyone looking for a new puppy. I will send you some more pictures as soon








as I download them onto my computer. Talk to you soon!




Remember me????? Look how big I got.............




I'm sure you remember us. We are the Polish couple that bought your puppy. I just wanted you to know that he is




going great and he's growing like a potato. I attached some pictures for you to see how big he got. He goes by the




name, Abis., and we have a lot of fun with him.




Thank you so much again. There is a chance that one of our friends will be giving you a call to get one puppy or
I have purchased the male Shih Tzu puppy from you last week.
His name is Kookie, he is a wonderful puppy. He follows me
everywhere, plays all the time with his toys, he is very hyper
and energetic, and very spoiled. I want to thank you from the
bottom of my heart for letting me to have someone like him in
my life. HE IS MY FURRY BABY! I enjoy every minute I spend
with him. Once again, thank you very much you're my hero,
I’ll keep in touch. I am extremely happy that I bought my
puppy with you! I am 100% satisfied.

Susan,
I just wanted to let you know that the puppy is so precious. And SPOILED ROTTEN ALREADY. We just love him.. And you were right, he is an escape artist. He found out how to open the door to the cage we have him in. We had to put a lock on the doors.
He follows us everywhere we go. He has to be touched when he is sleeping. We named him Smokey. He already knows his name. I am so happy we got him.
If we get another poodle, we will be contacting you. I knew when I first saw him, he was the one I wanted. I wouldn't even hold any other puppy I saw out at Canton.
Thanks so much for being such a great breeder and really caring about the dogs. I was really scared to buy another puppy after the experience we had last year.
Thanks again,

Hello Sue,
Just wanted to let you know that I was the one that bought the white chihuahua in Canton, Texas. Her name is Gracie. Thank you for such a wonderful puppy. My teacup pom just loves her and they play most all the time. We got her a heated puppy bed (talk about expensive), and she loves it. She stays in it most of the time when I am home:) We almost lost her 3 days after we bought her, but it was hypoglycemia. Amazingly, after the vet saw her, and kept her for the day, she was jumping around that night. It scared us to death, though, because she started siezing that morning, foaming at the mouth, etc. My daughter was crying.....anyway, thank goodness she was fine. We were doing what you told us, with the syrup on her food, however, the vet told us to start, daily, giving her 1cc of honey, more if she needed it. My pom was getting jealous, and now that is an every day treat for them both. They absolutely love "honey time." Anyway, she is doing great, loving life, and loves my daughter....which was my goal. If we ever get another one, I will be calling on you. Thank you for breeding puppies with such wonderful dispositions. My teacup pom breeder uses me as a reference, and I have had letters from people as far as New Jersey e-mail me for a reference. Feel free to use me as a reference any time.

That would be good if you came sometime in the morning or mid-afternoon I could come and get her then. But I will graduate that night so if that gets in the way, could I get her that Saturday? I would really like to tell you THANK YOU for all you have done! I will definitely use you and your kennel as a reference.
We purchased a wonderful Yorkie “PUP” from Ricsue Kennel. The purchasing experience we had from them was a very positive one. Sue was very helpful in the selection process and she provided information to us on a timely basis. The puppy pics that she sent us were terrific. It was a great way to see his growth and enjoy him vicariously while waiting to bring him home. Sue has a wealth of information regarding all puppy issues from health to training. We appreciated all the advice she gave us prior to and after the purchase of our puppy.
We are using Webster Groves Veterinary clinic to service all of our puppy needs. They are timely, professional and very caring. We look forward to many years of enjoyment from our Yorkie, Henry. He is a source of great pleasure for our family. Thank you RICSUE KENNEL for making our experience a most positive one.

Hello. How are you? I came across your web site and had to write. We bought our Dachshund







from you in 2001. She is an awesome dog and we know that is mainly because of your breeding..







We were very impressed then, and even more impressed with the temperament/training of Dixie.







I have attached a couple pictures of her.











She never goes in the house, she has never bitten and loves everyone.











She has outstanding health and a very strong back (which we all know is











very important for doxies) .












Thank you for running such an outstanding kennel. Being a military family,











we now live in Florida and Our son lives in Oklahoma. We sure wish your











kennel was closer for we would definitely purchase from you again. Good job!!


SUE I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MY ADDITIONS TO OUR FAMILY SHE IS A DOLL SPOILED BUT GREAT SHE FOLLOWS ME EVERYWHERE . EVERYONE LOVES HER ,HER NAME IS STAR ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU AND I WILL SEND PICTURES OF HER ON EMAIL AND I WILL KEEP IN TOUCH.

Hi Sue,
I can't believe it was already a month a go I picked her up... ! Her name is Miko. She is doing so
great, i take her to work with me everyday and she is fabulous on potty training. I took her to the
vet to have her first shot. She did awesome i don't even think she knew that she got it. She has
gained 3 pounds in a month, now i forget how tiny she actually was.. everyone loves her and i love
her so much, and i think my mom is trying to take her away from me...wanted to share these pictures
with you.
PS. I believe my boyfriend is looking into a Westie.
I'm not sure when though....it might still be awhile till he gets one.




Hi Sue,
Thanks for responding so quickly. We're really interested in short hair due to allergies but if you have any future litters of short hair we would be very interested. I would love to know if you plan on having a litter of short hair, waiting is fine w/us and I'd rather go through a breeder that I trust. Just on a side note; although our first doxie is no longer with us, I wanted to tell you he was the most gentle and loving animal we have ever had or seen even after having two children invade his home and it is a true shame he is no longer with us. He loved our kids as much as we do I'm sure of it. But I think he was such a good pet because of how he was brought into this world and I'm glad I was able to find your site and know that you are still out there as a breeder....A very good and trustworthy breeder.


Hi Susan,
I bought a yellow puppy from you last week and just want to let you know that we are extremely happy. We named him Eznho Einstein. I ran into a lady at Pet Smart who wants to buy a puppy, but she only speaks Spanish, do you speak Spanish or know someone who can translate for you. Anyway, I gave her your number. Thanks again for the great dog.

Sue, thank you for the Yorkie. He is so cute and my kids adore him. He fit in right away; he was very playful and very hungry; ate a lot so the transition was smooth; We named him "Buddy." Took him to Petsmart after pickup for bath and brush. He came out looking and smelling good. We bought him chew toys which he loves and growls and plays with. He is really close to me. Everyday he runs to me and sits and lays on my feet and pulls on my socks. I will take him to the Vet today or tomorrow. Thanks again for your help and for recommending me the hypoallergenic dog that's perfect for me and my family. Will keep in touch and send you referrals.



My children and I just want to give you a huge thanks for this perfect chihuahua. We just love and adore her and will take the best of care of her. Can you please help us understand what her potty habits are- how many times a day does she go out to potty, around how many times a day does she go #1 or #2. What signs-if any- does she give when she needs to go out- how soon after has eaten does she need to go. Any info would be helpful so it will take me less times to figure it out. Thank you. She is truely adorable!
Hi!
I received a toy poodle from you last Friday. He is a great joy and I am very pleased with him.
Hello Sue,

him Wrigley! He is a blessing.. the sweetest thing EVER !

She looks fine, I wish she had more white but she looks beautiful.....Thanks for keeping your word on replacing my other puppy, I feel good that you have an honest business and your health policy really does mean something.
Hi Sue,
We just passed the milestone of Sydney's third birthday and I can't believe we have had him for 3 years already. Our adorable "tea cup" is really a coffee mug and is the love of our life. You know my husband hates to leave the house these days because he misses Sydney so much, he'd rather stay home. Anyway, one of these days I will convince him to get another dog . Do you send out alist of your current puppies and if so, would you add me to your list? Either email me at camiddle@charter.net or cmiddle@cbgundaker.com or both. Would love to keep up and thanks for the adorable dog.
hello! we got the puppy and we are inlove with it! thanks so much. but when we left the man forgot to give us the papers so if you could please mail them to me at 10311 S. California Chicago IL 60655 that would be great! thanks again!
Just wanted to let you know that my puppy is as expected. I took him to pet mart so as to do the shampoo thing and every one loved him. He has brightened our live the few days he has been here. He is very playful and seems comfortable. Thank you!
Yeah we are having a lot of fun with her. She is a great puppy. Everybody at my house loves her. I am glad I got her. Thank you. I will keep you posted on her progress.

Hey Sue! Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our Beagle!!! Carolina "Cosmo" is a great addition to our family. From the day we met her, we were in love!!! You all have been great to work with and we would for sure recommend you to any of our friends and family looking to add a new four legged member to their family!! Take care and thanks again.
Hi Sue,
I've been looking for a play mate for our Yorkie we got from you in June. Fred says I can look around so I looked up your web site and saw the maltise and teddy bears I was wondering how much they are and if you had any of them left? I'm just getting ideas. Our little Yorkie (Pickles) is a wild thing but we love her. Hope you don't mind me e-mailing this to you.






They are doing great!! She is so stinkin 








cute, has a bladder the size of a pea, but






adorable. I attached some more pics.
Ric and Susan:
Here is a picture of my pride and Joy. Ms. Alvena Bren Barrale Smith. 5 years of age. Alvena is the
picture of her daddy. Alvena is the sweetest puppy and I love her very much. I give her the best of
everything that I can. I had a little scare. I felt a lump on her neck and I was so worried but to come
and find out it was nothing and there wasn't any cancerous growth. Infact, it was not even a tumor as
thought. Her chip is still intact and operable. it wasn't in the stuff he took out. I sure was relieved.
Hope you and Mr. Ric are doing okay. Well, Susan please know that I will always be grateful and
know that your choice was exactly perfect for me, since I could not be there. My sister Rosalie loves
Alvena just as much as I do. She has two their names are Luke and Tipper.





Thought I'd send you an updated photo of




our lovely Shiba Inu romping in the woods




behind our home. She's great---gotten over




being overly timid and is now great fun. 




She's about 13 months old in this photo.

BELLA COLEMAN
Hi,
Bella is up to 3.4 lbs. and a lot of fun. I will keep you up to date. She is eating very well and runs like the wind. She has also learned that she is not allowed in the living room, but has realized when I go in to get her she can run through (open floor plan) and make me go in circles. The funniest thing she does is knock the wise men out of the nativity and crawls in herself.
Dear Rick & Sue,
It's been almost a year since we purchased our Labrador puppy from you. I have to tell you that he is the love of my life! He is beautiful and has such a good disposition. I can't thank you enough! If you ever need a recommdation I'd be happy to speak to anyone that has reservations about buying a puppy online. He is perfect In every way! Thank you for breeding such a wonderful puppy. Take care and have a Merry Christmas.
You can reach me anytime at 847-343-8021.
We thought you might like this of Shelbys Pink nails, Very Merrry Christmas to you Both. Miss you lots and lots hope to see you again some time
Hi Susan
Well sugar is still just wonderful, we love her she is still very small, but that is what we want.
Just to tell you if you ever get another one small and no one wants her call me.
972-270-0490
We thought that Sugar should have a play mate.
Just so you know she is just close to 9 pounds.she will be 3 years old. 9-15-2010.
She has been the best 400 I ever spent.
I love her so much, I have sent you two pictures hope you get them.




Do hope to hear from you .




Dee And Dick Schultz - Garland Tx
Hey Sue!
Just wanted to check in with you. We got her home and she is adjusting well. I named her Mizuki, which means "beautiful moon" in Japanese. She loves to sleep, but is very sweet and playful when she isn't. I have a vet visit scheduled for her tomorrow. I'm so excited to have her, and I know she's happy here too. I'll send pics as soon as I take some good ones.
Hi Sue
Just keeping in touch! The pup is fabulous! I am forwarding your website to all who ask!
Sue - Thought you might like to see how the "punk rock star" looks after his first grooming. We have named him Charlie Brown............because he is a real little clown. Since he has had a lot of the puppy hair trimmed, the light apricot color on his back is much more noticeable from a distance, but he is still a creamy color when viewed up close.
