Dear Frank and everyone at Kimbertal,

Kent has mellowed greatly over just the past week &endash;it took a long time! He tends to 'lord' over everyone, people and dogs included, so he is very aptly named! He weighs over 80 pounds, is 29 inches at the shoulder and is almost six feet tall when he stretches to reach the top of the rail. He is a wonderful puppy, thank you, Frank!!! He understands English and Russian, loves walks, people, children, balls, and any kind of food delicacy. One of his favorite meals is the Cesar &endash; Puppy Chicken, and his favorite desert is a natural multigrain dog cookie with a peanut butter soft center, (homemade) although he eats many different foods and treats, apples, carrots, etc. He eats from ceramic bowls on placemats, sometimes eats from a table spoon, or likes us to hold the dish! and does not like anything to fall on the floor.

Every other week at his training class, he is the best dog in the group, on alternate weeks, all the other dogs get extra points for sitting still while Kent does his best to distract them!

He goes to Camp Bow Wow five days a week while we work, 6:30 AM until 6 PM and for this month Sundays from 6 AM &endash; 4 PM.

One day we will bring him to see you.

Love from all,

Dear Kimbertal,

I hope all is well with everyone there. I just want to thank you for Bullet. I can't begin to tell you all the good he has done me. Out of all the dogs I've lived with, seen, or trained, I've never seen this quality in breeding, though I've read of it. I've bred dogs before thinking that I was doing it right, but I'll never breed another, without you alls guidance. I've spoiled him just a tad, but he's healthy, good looking, loyal, loving and smart as a whip. He says to tell all "hello" and that he loves the weather here so far (I'm sure he'll say more after a full year).Thanks again and have a good day.

P.S. I feel like I should send more money, but don't wait on it. Ha-ha

Dear Kimbertal Kennels,

We are writing you regarding our Lucy. We had decided that we were going to bring a dog into our lives. With some convincing from my husband, we decided on a doberman and we had the great fortune of obtaining our baby girl from Kimbertal over 8 years ago. Today was Lucy's 8 1/2 year birthday. We lost Lucy last night to sudden death. There are just no words to describe our devastation. Our telephone has been ringing all day as the word spread among our family and friends to express sadness in her passing. You see, Lucy was a big part of not just our lives but of all our family and friends who shared in their love for her. She was the very best we could of ever hoped for. She was ever so loving and sweet. Lucy was diagnosed 5 months ago with serious heart condition. We tried every method of treatment in hopes of sustaining her wonderful life for as long as we could.

Thank you, Kimbertal for bringing this wonderful animal into mine and my husband's lives. Lucy had the temperate of an angel. She was also so gorgeous that just yesterday, on one of our walks a gentleman stopped to admire her beauty. Again, we want to thank all of you at Kimbertal for enriching our lives with Lucy. Should we see through our grief and decide to grace our lives with another dog, we will call you in hopes that this wonderful experience could be duplicated.

Thank you again for bringing us such a joy, which we will miss and will never forget for the rest of our lives.

Sincerely,

Dear Kimbertal,

Almost 13 years ago, my son purchased a female Doberman puppy from your kennel (8/2/94 from Can. Ch. Captain Kid's Black Hawk and Kimbertal's Dolma). He named her Porsche. He was unable to care for the dog and gave it to my wife and me to take care of when she was about 2 ? years old. We already had an older Doberman named Turbo, also purchased from your kennel (3/24/81 from Ch. Kroysing's Duke Ellington and Kimbertal's Manson DeVille).

The two of them were beautiful dogs. Turbo was a great companion with a gentle and compassionate personality. She died about 10 years ago at the age of 14. Porsche was always a character and quite entertaining. She passed peacefully in her sleep last week just 2 months shy of her 13th birthday. Even though she was hit by a car when she was 6 months old and had a metal plate in her leg, she was always happy, full of energy and ready to go!

Porsche owned our living room area and always slept on our velvet couch. Her favorite game was stealing things (an empty box, a bag of chips, a box of tissues, a bag of clothes, even a 2" wide yellow pages phonebook!) and then arranging and rearranging everything in a straight line. She would lie down and guard her acquired items until someone came over and acknowledged her efforts. She also had a basket full of plush musical toys that she would play for my daughter every morning before she went to work. Her favorites included a skunk that played "Wild Thing", a bear that sang "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" and a monkey that whistled "I love you!" She cared for her plush toys as if they were her own pups. She'd also pester us for a piece of bread every morning which she hid in her toy basket or under the couch pillows. She'd bring it out later in the day and walk around in circles humming until someone tried to take it away from her.

When she wasn't nudging my wife to share her canned peaches or hiding under the covers when it thundered, her favorite past times were watching the neighborhood from her window and going for a ride in the backseat of my car. When she got out of the car, she'd pick up her leash with her mouth and carry it back into the house. She was an incredibly smart dog. You only had to show her something once and it became a habit (sometimes good, other times not so good!).

I can't even begin to tell you the laughter and amusement this extraordinary dog provided to us on a daily basis. Words can't even describe how quiet the house is without our Porsche.

When my wife and I are ready, we will definitely come back to your kennel to purchase our next companion.
