“Hello Grant,
Randy and I were just thinking about you and thought you might like to see a picture of the pup you sold us in Feb. of 2010. We are the folks you shipped him to via Phoenix.
He is an amazing dog. We named him Baxter. We have had several different breeds over the years and he is by far, the best overall….we enjoy him so much!
The picture was taken this month on the Snaring River in Jasper National Park, Canada. He goes everywhere with us, and has miles and miles of adventures under his belt.
Thanks so much for this great dog. If I could talk Randy into it, we would get another one!

Take care,
Linda”
