Awesome, Adorable Puppy!

Absolutely awesome breeder! I have a beautiful, baby, chocolate lab. She is SO smart, she was basically potty trained in 4 days. She has the most gorgeous colored coat. The absolute best chocolate puppies I have ever seen! Breeder has a great facility, very clean & well organized. I would recommend these puppies to anyone! Email me if you would like even more compliments about Brainerd Bones & Biscuits! Tessa tessa@bearpausetheater.com

Joanie was great to work with. You could tell that she really cared for her pups! The little cavy we bought home is wonderful and full of personality! Joanie had all the information regarding vaccinations and health care ready for me along with a puppy kit. We couldnt have asked for a better breeder/experience. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND JOANIE!

First boy they adopted, Kip, at a year old.

Returned for another cavalier puppy, Albie, at a year old. Thank-you Carrie and Jake for giving both boy's a wonderful home!!

AMAZING!

I have never had a more pleasurable experience in my life! Purchasing a pup isn't an easy task, and if you're looking for a Chihuahua you've stumbled exactly where you should be. William & Joanie are amazing, caring, educational breeders. I felt like I was at home and relaxed. Joanie sent me pictures via email until James Bond (my dog) was old enough to bring home. Now-a-days James Bond is 1 year old, 4 lbs, and a model!! He has gotten 2 modeling jobs just by being himself. I have not actively tried to get him anything. Just right place, right time, with the right little guy. Thank you so much for James!

Forgive me for forgetting your name, but I wanted to drop you a note about the puppy I purchased from you about 2 years ago. Tessa has been a joy and we are so happy she is part of our growing family. Recently my daughter had a baby & Tessa is wonderful with her. I do not have any recent photos of her, but as soon as I get one, I will send it to you.

I want to thank you so much for breeding such a loving, gentle soul of a furchild.

Hi Joanie!

I just came across your website the other day and thought I would share with you a photo of grown-up Hobie who came from your December 2007 lab litter. I've also included a puppy photo so you can remember which one he was. When he's not playing fetch, he's curled up on a couch, chair or bed. He's a great urban dog (loves visit Minneapolis dog parks and shopping in the pet stores) and doesn't leave our side for anything, except maybe an enticing body of water. I'm constantly amazed at how laid back he is for only 14 months!

We couldn't be happier with him and will definitely keep recommending your dogs.

I've also included some photos from your other litter (born in February 2008 I think?) that I had taken while there and was planning on sending you. Sorry it took me so long!

Hope all is well and can't wait to see photos of the new pups!

Hi -

Here is Gibbs now - he looks a lot bigger in these pics than he actually is- a whoppin' 3.5lbs and he is a hoot- he's really quick on his feet and loves to wrestle with stuffed animals and our 11 lb cat and "hunt" with our choc lab. To say he has a cushy life would be an understatement- his hair turned white but now he has a reddish brown stripe down the center of his back that is ever increasing - so i think once he grows out of his puppy hair that will be his color. We absolutely love him and can't thank you enough-

If you are looking for a Chihuahua you have found the right site. Joanie and Dan are the best breeders, knowledgeable, friendly, and caring people you will ever meet. They breed the best temperament and beautiful puppies I've seen. Joanie responded to my numerous emails and even sent me pictures and updates all the time. She even called me and answered all my questions. I finally received my little white Chihuahua "Millie" and she is a doll! The sweetest little puppy ever. I love her very much and am so glad I found this site and this puppy! If you want more of a recommendation about them, please feel free to email me at kennaspain@hotmail.com

Joan,

I just wanted to drop you a little note to say thanks again for our little puppy. We love him SO much! We have named him Chico and it really fits him. He has been such a blessing to our family. I will never forget about our other dog Taco but Chico sure helps with the healing. He is very loving and energetic and is doing wonderful at the potty training. He goes pee on the pad all the time and poops for the most part on the pad. He has some accidents but he is a puppy still so he will get the hang of it. So thanks again for making all of us so happy!

I Love my Chihuahua Skye!

I had a great time working with Joan and Dan. They were very helpful and caring people. I have added a Fantasic long coat Blue and tan Chi to my famliy and she is extra extra special. I recieved her in October of 08 and she is now 8 months old and is perfect in everyway!! I would reccomend adding a puppy from Joan and Dan to your family. Barb Lee

Hi Joanie,

Just wanted to send you a few pictures of Keisha and give you an update. You have truly given such a great puppy. She is so good and tiny. (2lbs 4oz.)She is not a barker. She is very quiet and loves attention. The only time she barks is when someone knocks or rings the doorbell. She's our little guard dog. Or at least she thinks she's one. She is the perfect match for our family. We are truly greatful.

We were interested in getting her a brother or sister soon. Possibly, a yorkiepoo this time. We want one w/ the same temperament as Keisha. Please send me more info. Could you also send me a picture of Keisha's parents? We'd like to make a scrapbook for Keisha.

Phenesy

I thought that since Rosey turned one last month I would send you a good picture of her. She is everything to me. I love her so much. She is just about fully potty trained and loves her blankies. She also loves to go for bike rides in the trailer with Aaron (4) and me. She will go down the slide with Aaron and loves to swing in the baby swing (I will have to send you a pic of that one sometime too.) Her favorite candy is jelly beans(mine too.) She also loves to sleep like a baby, all wrapped up in a blanket, with me. She is the world to me.

Thank you SO much. I have had so much fun watching her discover all the new and hidden things in life. She is also getting her first camping experience. We have bought lots of glow sticks for night time, haha.

Thank you,
Kenzie

Joan-

Thought I would send you some pictures of the pup I bought from you this summer. I named him Igor. He is doing great so far and sure seems to love his fenced yard. He is already around 50lbs. He is going to a two week intro to birds and gun puppy training class this Friday. I get him back just in time to take him with on my two week hunting vacation. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

We just purchased a Chihuahua puppy from Joanie and Dan. When we arrived the puppies were in the house and had free roam of the kitchen and dinning room. Some of the puppies were kenneled and they were clean dry and all look happy and healthy. The puppy's nails were trimmed. And even on the lighter puppies their fur on their feet weren't discolored an indication that they aren't locked up standing in their messes for hours a day.
I was extremely pleased to see how well the puppies were socialized they were out playing, running and very happy. We received a blanket, food, papers, shot records and a health guarantee for our little girl. They also gave us some extra wormer and something if she got an upset tummy. For the 4 hour drive. In which we had no problems at all with her, because she was so well socialized it didn't faze her at all.
Thanks for the happy, healthy and extremely well socialized puppy!
