Hi, we adopted Max, the last tiny tot born April 9, and think he is the most amazing dog ever :  )

We would like to get on your reservation list for a Christmas puppy.

Thanks,
Cindy, Greg, and Maria Fischer

​Hello,
My name is Cheryl Fuino, and I adopted Zoe aka Misty or Silver mist back in July. I wanted to give you a update on her, and let you all know that she is doing great! She’s such a smart, fun, energetic girl. She loves to play, cuddle, and watch TV! We have so much fun together! As you can see, she is getting ready for a Halloween, as she is wearing her candy corn bandanna. If we are ever out your way, we will stop in to say hi!
Cheryl ​

Thank you again for Kenny. He is amazing and our pocket pitbull adores him too  Rusco Family 7/29/17😊

7/17/17:  Hello everyone-

We were there about two weeks ago and adopted Bear. Just wanted to drop a line. This little guy is awesome! Wish we would have known about this breed a long time ago.

While we were there, we picked up one of the Kong Cozie stuffed animals. We found out on accident that they are not broken they do squeak. You just have to squeeze them in the right place. There is an air bladder right under the Kong cozie embroidered tag. If you squeeze it there, it will squeak. Bear is not big enough to make it squeak by himself but it certainly gets his attention at play time.

Regards,

Andy Eaton

6/14/17  Hi Pam,

Just wanted to let you know things are going great w/Copper. He is doing amazing w/potty training, and even goes to the door when he has to go. He cried most of the nite the first nite but slept thru last nite. We think he hated that small kennel but now have the metal one and he has no problem w/it. Jack woke him up at 4 a.m., took him outside and he voided then came back in and went to sleep. His appetite is great-he cleans the bowl out every time.

We have an appointment w/Rocky Mtn vet on Monday. Couldn't get him in any sooner.​     That's it for now.

5/24/2017  Yes, feel free to use us as a reference for allergy concerns.  The kids and I have had some mild allergies (itchy eyes, throat, runny nose, etc.) since he came into our home.  It was great the first few days and then seemed to get a little worse.  That said, it’s hard to tease out what’s due to the dog and what’s due to seasonal allergies this time of year.  And it’s good that the kids have not had any hives or major swelling, which they have both experienced from other dogs.

Tank is doing great!  He’s pure puppy right now…super playful and always chewing on something : - )  Pretty much housebroken and learning to sit and respond to his name very quickly!

Laura    

5/15/2017:  ​

We are having so much fun with Tank!  He gets tons of attention wherever we go and everyone that ha met him falls in love with him : - )  He has quickly acclimated to our house, is eating great, and is making progress in house training every day.  Best news of all is that the kids’ allergies seem to be just fine.  Our son hasn’t even gotten hives from him when Tank licks him (which happens pretty often with other dogs!).  Here’s a picture of him with the kids... 

Thank you for everything and we’ll continue to keep you posted as to his progress.

Take care,
Laura, Dan, Kaylie & Connor

4/14/17    Uncle Bink (aka 'Bubba') is keeping us busy. He passed his health check with flying colors and has bonded with us very quickly. He's a bit shy with new folks so we have been taking walks to the nearby park to give him a chance to watch the kids play and see new dogs. He's slowly getting over his shyness. On the plus side he sleeps all night and doesn't stir till we get up and he's only slipped up a few times in the housebreaking challenge. All in all we've been satisfied with his progress and see he has the potential to be a great new member to our family. 

4/1917 Well it has been a year 4/20 that we were able to bring Moji home to join our other 3 canines.  He continues to make us smile and laugh.  He has taken over the household and doesn't let anyone (young/old/dog lover or non dog lover) ignore him.  He hasn't met anyone or anything that he doesn't like which unfortunately includes coons, rabbits, squirrels, even snakes.  Moji loves his canine siblings especially 85lb Xocai.  Moji is the only one that can lay on Xocai's bed, chew on Xocai's chewies and drink out of Xocai's waterbowl (when he can reach it).  
I can't believe it has been a year, he fit in the minute he walked in the door.  

Again---Thank You Kenny and Pam

Becky & Chuck Wagner

PS:  Cooper is getting along fabulously in his new home poor little guy is scheduled for nutering in two weeks.  

4/03/17  Oh!  What a weekend we've had!!!  We are both in love with Latte and she has rocked our world!!!  She responds well to us, she responds well to her crate during the night.  I stream puppy sleep music across youtube on my tablet by her crate at night and she finds it soothing.  She is doing very well with housebreaking.  She only had one accident all weekend.  Our neighbors adore her.   I even took her to church yesterday with me and she was quite the little lady.  She is not lacking for affection in any way.  She got a pink princess bed at Petco.  She is adapting very well.    I will send pics this week.  We are very, very pleased.

Thank you so much!!!

Just a quick note to let you know how much we are enjoying our pup (we have decided to call her Wickett--what else with that face?). She settled right in from the first and has adopted the whole family, including the poodle and the sheep doodle, as her own. She passed her puppy exam with flying colors and was a big hit at the vet well.
I took her to my grandson's soccer game today and people kept asking about her and where we got her. Your pups are your best advertisement.
Thanks again, and we'll see you at grooming time.

Hi Pam:  We think things are going really well.  The directions for feeding and crating afterwords worked like a charm for 3 days……but last night, I took her out 5-6 times and she just wouldn’t poop.  I fed her before 5 pm, and she didn’t go poop until 9!  This morning was similar…..not as long, but she wouldn’t go after 2 tries.  I put her in the playpen and she went on a pee pad in there when I wasn’t looking.  All in all, she’s been doing really well.  She goes potty outside almost every time we go out.  She loves our dog Hazel, which we think is helping her confidence immensely.  She has not made one peep at night in the crate (which we can’t believe because we’ve never heard of such a thing with a new puppy!)  She made a little fuss being put in the crate the first few days, but that’s getting better.  We also really like the playpen, as it provides a nice option for when we’re having dinner or I’m studying.    She’s very sweet, and loves our back yard and being outside to chase Hazel.  I can’t wait for the nice warm weather the next few days..

Hi Pam,

I just wanted to give you an update on Bailey…  We have had him almost two weeks now and he is doing so well!!  The potty training is exhausting but paying off!  He could not be any sweeter or cuter!!  He is eating, pooping, peeing and having lots of fun!  We have been to the vet, a couple stores (in a puppy seat in the cart) and Home Depot.  He loves people… kids and adults!!  A little afraid of dogs so we went to our first puppy socialization class last night and have had a couple playdates with a neighbor’s friendly, healthy havanese.  I just wanted to thank you again for the sweetest little guy!!

Sorry still no family photo.  You are welcome to use any of these photos below and as soon as I can get someone to get a photo of us I’ll send it along.   

Thank you,

Shelly :-)

Hello Pam.
I wanted to let you know that Finn is doing awesome. He's only had 3 accidents so far and really seems to know where his potty is.  His first pee was in the play pen so I just put puppy pads in there and it's now his bathroom and he knows exactly where to go.
He's absolutely adorable and taking to the crate just fine.
Vet said he ops amazing and she called this morning to tell us his fecal sample is parasite free and no giardia. My vet also asked for your information as she is interested in a puppy. ;-).
Here are some pictures oh Finn.
Thanks again and happy new year.

The boy standing in the foreground is Madison. Fuzzy Pups class of 2012, Born June 20th. He's the one your husband liked so well at the time we adopted him. Think he had a sister that was much smaller, that you mentioned you possibly wanted to keep.

As I remember, he and his sister were the last two Bichons you bred.   The boy in the background is my first, Miles. Fuzzy Pups class of 2011. Born January 11th.
We're very close. He's getting older now, but he's still quite active.  Looks a lot like his great-grandfather, Superstar Sheldon.  I really would like the black & white Havanese boy, (Bishop) to become part of our family.  I'm ready...the Wahl Bravura is fully charged, my Gators are sharp, the bowls are clean, the shampoo is plentiful, the crate is ready, and  there's plenty of sliced fresh turkey and chicken breast in the freezer.

Hi Pam!

I have had Skater for a little over a year now and I don't know what I would do without him!  He is now a Certified Therapy Dog and gets to help many people!   Thank you sooo much.

11/26/16:    Hi Pam! I'm not sure if you remember us, but we adopted our sweet Bernie Bear back in the summer of 2014.

I just had to come tell you thank you again! He is THE BEST dog anyone could ever ask for. We got him and about a week later we moved across the country to Maryland. He is a great traveler! At the time our kids were only 2 and 4 years old and he has always been so wonderful with them. He also plays great with other dogs!

What I love most about my little Bernie is that he never leaves my side. I had been diagnosed with lupus back in 2010, but in 2015 I found out I had late stage chronic Lyme disease. I began some pretty intense treatments to clear my body of the Lyme disease and I was almost 100% bedridden (unable to walk/ blind at times) and Bernie never left my side. He would lay by me all day, if I got up to goto the bathroom he came right with me and sat at my feet- he literally watched over me like an angel. I do not think I could have made it through my treatments without him. Thankfully I am doing so much better now and am enjoying being up and taking Bernie on walks exploring the neighborhood! He is also content to run around in our fenced in big backyard where he runs the fence with the neighbors dog!

Anyways, thank you for what you do. Bernie is one of my children, I love him so much I feel like I could have given birth to him! We will probably be adopting another puppy from you within the next year or so. Fuzzy pups are amazing!!!!

5/31/16:  We got our "Quila" (Tequila) from you two years ago in June, born April 15, 2014. 
We have had such a great success with Quila that we know another Fuzzypup Havanese puppy would be best for our family.

Wow Pam, those are some adorable puppies you have coming in!  
We are having so much fun with our new little addition.  The boys are ecstatic and I surprisingly have more than enough help. I have her vet appt set up for Thursday and I will use the vet you suggested in Highlands Ranch .Potty training is going well, especially at nighttime...she only whines when she needs to go and the potty pad in the bathtub has been a lifesaver:)She's eating ok...not as much as I expected her to eat but it seems to be plenty for her little tummy and so far she's voiding almost like clockwork.  She's been such a joy around the house...and the boys race home to see her. They had to take her to show their teachers the other day and yesterday one of the teachers stopped my 8th grader in the hall and told him she had bought her a new little outfit....everyone is pretty excited that there is a new little girl under our roof!  We named her Nina which is Spanish for "little girl"...thought it was most appropriate for her Cuban/Spanish heritage :-).I would take another one in a heartbeat but I'm afraid it might be a bit overwhelming having two puppies, like you said.  Maybe someday down the road we will pay you a surprise visit for a new little member:)   I'll be keeping in touch with you on her progress. 
Take care,  Jodi Smallwood

Hi Pam,
      We have had Bearje just over a year and wanted to tell you what a great little dog he has become.  In addition to being beautiful, he is funny, affectionate, and a good guy.   He loves everyone and all the dogs he meets on our walks (especially big dogs!)  He hikes 6 miles with us now and has been hiking up to 12,000 ft in the mountains.  He fires up for anything we want to do (except brush his teeth) and he is a real "people magnet" as people stop and want to know about him and we have made some good friends in our new neighborhood because of him.  We even had someone drive by us and yell "Your dog is cuter than my dog!"  We are so glad he joined our family.  Here is a picture of him at the Ronald McDonald House, one of the places we take him as a therapy dog.  
Thanks,
    Nancy and Hugh Grove

 we love, love, love our new family member.  He is a bundle of joy and spunk!  the Bunker Family  5/25/16

 Hi,  we have had our dear, sweet Corky (nee Bam Bam) for one year today.  He is such a joy, loves to be held and cuddled and has brought us so much happiness.  Thanks for making it all possible.    Charlotte &  Guy Geoly

 Got "Eliza Doo Little" checked at the vet today. She's a whopping 4.5lbs. ☺ She and Henry are doing great together. And she's already sleeping through the night in her crate by the bed. Yay! She loves the kids and the feeling is mutual. Another sweet Fuzzypup. ❤ Thanks again!   Hogan Family

Jake is a Shih Chon and just a bundle of love. Jake adopted us in 2009 and we are so grateful he did.  He has brought so much love into this house and as his tag says he is truly the King!  Thank you so much for approving us for adoption.- we have so enjoyed the love!Susan  2/21/16

We purchased two puppies from you back in the mid 2000's. One a Shih Tzu  (born in 2005)  and one Shih Chon (born in 2007) . I am attaching a couple of recent photos of them. We now live in Florida, They have been out constant companions and true loves.      Thanks for making our lives more fun.

Rex is doing great!!!  Totally in love with Isaac and loves playing. He chases both boys around the house until he can't move anymore.   So far no allergies!    I put a jacket on this guy and he turned into a snow bunny!!!    Lori  01/10/2016

OWNER COMMENTS 2015
Someone had mentioned Fuzzypups on the Backcountry FB board about how great of a breeder you are and I chimed in and agreed. We couldn't possibly love or spoil this little guy anymore!  

I guess it's about time I sent you an update on our much adored puppy! Cubbie, ( formerly Tebow) is a big boy, now, almost 14 lbs! I was fortunate to have my two adult children at home for the past few months ( looking for jobs after finishing college) , so Cubbie has had lots of TLC, and the"kids" have had so much fun loving him and training him! I know everyone says their Havanese pups are very smart... It's true! He has learned to sit, stay, shake, roll over,come,and "drop it" (well, working on that one) , and he tries not to chase the cat ALL the time!   He is so much fun, a very good boy, and has just the right amount of mischief in his nature, to keep us on our toes. He makes our home fun and joyful, and charms everyone!    He definitely is a wonderful pet, I am so glad we came to see you at just the right time, when he needed a new home. I wish you and yours a happy holiday season!
Linda

Chewiee has been such a great addition to our family, and we absolutely love him.  He is now 11.2 lbs of love and fun, and clowns around in such a fun way that everyone is always laughing.   He's been in the top of his classes for obedience training, quickly learning tricks sometimes before we even get him home!  He's now working on his Advanced course, and he's the youngest by far in the class.  We got housebreaking down and don't have any more issues, although we have to keep him off one piece of furniture which he seems to continue to confuse with a potty.  The boys are doing great with Chewiee, they boss him around and he listens!  Chewiee is such a great dog, better than I ever could have imagined.  Inquisitive, intelligent, loyal, adorable, playful, loving, and eager and motivated to make us happy.  We love him to bits!    We would (and do) recommend Fuzzy Pups to anyone who asks!  Thanks so much,
Stephanie, Jason, and Chewiee

Not sure if you remember me. I bought coco & kona from you two years ago. I just wanted to say hello and let you know they are both amazing and spoiled rotten!!  We love them so much. We are finally reaping the fruits of all our labor. It was a long two years getting them to settle in and on a very regular routine. They are house trained which makes life much easier. My daughter Sarah moved this summer and my house had been so empty as well as my heart. Now I can enjoy coco & kona much more on those lonely days. They are never further than inches from me. Alan also loves them so much as well!!  So with that update I send a happy thanksgiving to you and your family. I was looking at all your cute puppy photos. It's so tempting but I'd better stick to "2".   I do from time to time give your info out to anyone looking for adorable healthy Havanese.

Hi Pam and Janae,
Just wanted to send a note that Mr. Bogey is doing great!  We are so in love.  It is very funny how I was so worried about his coloring.  He could be green with pink polka dots for all I care anymore.  This is my first Havanese.  So I don't know if they are all like him.  But I am going to have to go ahead and assume that we got the most awesome little personality of the litter(s).  He is just the coolest little dog.    So very smart.  So very sweet.  So NOT AFRAID to put the kids in their place.    But also so sweet and gentle with them (if you remember we had a cattle dog who was a bitter).  Bogey puppy bites.  But there is a huge difference in true puppy nipping. He is a good eater, a good pooper, a good sleeper.  He is an amazing snuggler.  He had his first vet appointment and is very healthy.  Nothing to report out.  We start puppy classes at Petsmart on Tuesday (Janae, this is with Mindy not that weird guy at Petsmart.  Mindy is awesome). And I hear...that you had another puppy go home to his new family just yesterday.  So funny.  I had some co-workers out here from CA.  Jami came to my house to meet my family and the new puppy.  And she fell in love with Bogey (I told you he is amazing - lol).  So glad that all worked out.  And just so funny.  She wasn't even thinking of getting a puppy.  Little stinkers are so cute. And know our other co-worker who got to hold him and love on him on the plane ride home...is in love to.  I told her to just let me know and I can bring the little black pup home to her in CA the first week in December (I am flying back for meetings).  lol  I am not sure she will.  She already has two little dogs.  So, just wanted to check and see if I get a free puppy for my referral?    Totally teasing.  I am so glad that Jami is happy.  And so happy that another Fuzzypup found a home.   I still can't believe that my favorite little pup with the black face is the only one left!  I would so have picked him if I didn't have little kids.  Another time...I will have my tiny tot    Hope you all are well.
Heather Wingate

Pam,
It's a miracle!   The "earthquake technique" worked!   I had to shake it about 5 times and he was good until 4:30. So happy!     Thank    Nancy

  I just wanted to let you know that Maxx is doing great!  We really enjoy him and it has been fun watching him grow from a puppy to an adolescent.  He still struggles to understand our cats and they him but they have been civil to each other and continue to learn about each other every day.  Attached is a picture of Maxx from a month ago.  He's been such a great addition to our family and we love him dearly!  -Danielle

Hershey is fine! As you can see Melissa and Hershey constantly play and tire each other out! Melissa is the controller over Hershey! Lol   Hershey did get sick twice on the way home yesterday! Having loads of fun with these two! 😃💜 I'm so proud of Melissa! She is potty trained!! She even went to the door this morning to let me know she wanted out and went potty! She's a smart cookie! Now we have to work on her not chewing everything! Lol I'm teaching her OFF but she's determined! She'll get it and I do put certain things away from her! So happy with her, she is really spunky and has great character!   DJ put her in a dress early this morning   

I wanted to give you an update on "Dragon" we adopted last weekend.We now call him Wilbur and he is just the cutest, smartest dog! He had a few rough days last weekend, but soon learned that we were his new home. He has been going over to "grandma and grandpa's" house to play with the other dogs during the week while my husband and I are at work. he loves it! He is already going up and down stairs and hasn't had any potty accidents for 3 days.  We love him so much and he's now potty trained. He goes up and down the stairs and waits by the door to be let out. He now sleeps over night with no accidents :)  Thanks so much for this little guy and I'm sure you will here from us in the future...My sister just got married and we all know that means the need of a furry friend is near :)  
  Jennifer and Luka Znidarcic

 Just checking in. This is Berkeley ....the same pup that you have on your puppy page with the black lab. She is almost 11 months now and the sweetest thing. 10 lbs of personality and love. Her "toy" of the week is a red bandanna. Go figure?! ( (By the way, I'm in love with Draygon and Snap. - so precious)    Take care,   Kelly B
 
We wanted to let you know that Boots (formerly Curly) is doing great!! We for sure picked the right puppy and he has been such a joy. He was so tired by the time he went to bed last night that he slept through the night! He has been so happy.   Thanks for everything. We are so enjoying our new family member! Susan  04/18/15 

Thought you would like to see pictures of the best little pup in the world. He is happy and adjusting beautifully. He loves his toys. He has been good in his crate the last 2 nights and is eating very well. He has hit the wee wee pad a few times, once it almost seemed deliberate! He is just the sweetest baby and we love him so much. Thanks for matching us up with him, it was meant to be!   Charlotte & Guy  03/06/15
 
This is Nalu and Crystal (Pebbles).  She is the new love of my life!   

 Pam - Missy Throup had her first hair cut today (she looks so different but beautiful)! She will be 6 months old next week and is scheduled for spading on March 30. She is now almost 9 pounds. Missy and her sister Annie play all day together and she is doing well in her puppy obedience class. She is a very happy girl! Nancy      Breckyn: DOB 9/24/14 -

Geoffrey,  the Shih Tzu, is now ten and just the love our lives. He is the sweetest most caring dog I’ve ever had. He loves to meet people and especially children. Attached is a picture of him on his tenth birthday and as you can see is getting a lot of gray hair. Thank you so much for breeding such a wonderful little companion.    Peggy

Thank you so much for your time this weekend. I love the little girl that I selected. She fit right in to our family like she has been there all along. I named her Ziggy as she love to chase Louie and my moms dog, Drango, all the time. Although she can definitely hang with the boys she is also very sweet.    

 Pam - just sending you a picture of our adorable Missy - almost 5 months old. She plays chase and wrestles all day long with her sister Annie (our 2 year old Bichon). We are so happy to have Missy in our life. Nancy Throup  02/23/15,

Here is Briar Rose, Now Sammy Kruse.    We had her spayed about 10 days ago, She is doing well.   She has discovered the toilet paper and LOVES to unroll it.  She is a perfect match for our family, she has a ton of energy and is very smart, smarter than us sometimes.   We just want you to know how much we love her!    Nancy Kruse 02/21/15
 
First of all, our little guy's doing awesome! He seems so happy and energetic, and he gets along so well with our girls : )      Yoni, Colorado Springs

 Cocoa fka Ginger Loves her carrots!   Hi there! Wanted to let you know my little girl is doing great!! Doing great with potty too! I did downsize her crate and no more potty accidents!! Yay!!! I think now it was anxiety too and crate just too big. She now overdoes potty because she loves her cheese and treats she receives after she goes. Super sweet and smart and she and Chanel are loving each other. We are having fun!!  Thank you!   Tamara

Below is the picture of Louie in the Harley bear costume my mom made for him.   Thanks again for providing me now -the two loves of my life!

   Hi Pam!
Wanted to fill you in on our new precious family member. We picked "Taylor" up from you just before Christmas. Being a soccer loving family, we named him "Cosmo" after the old NY Cosmos soccer team. He became part of our family without missing a beat. He seemed to transition effortlessly. He followed Margo, our 2 yr. old Havanese, around & fell right into her routine. They like to help tuck the kids in at night & wake them up in the morning for school. As for cuddling, he is the best to snuggle with. He is definitely a little love bug.  He & Margo seem to get along very well. They stick together all day long. They like to play, what looks like, a game of tag. They take turns chasing each other around the house. Our 13 year old Tonkinese kitty established the ground rules pretty quick that she is off limits & in no way will engage in a game of chase. Cosmo has learned to accept her wishes😉. Cosmo gets very excited when it's feeding time. We have nicknamed him "jumping bean" because when food is involved, he jumps all over the place & for a small puppy, can get fairly high.  He had his first trip to our vet the day after Christmas and was given a clean bill of health. 😊Thank you raising such an amazing puppy!                       Kendra Lauretti
