Here are just a few of the heart warming comments and pictures we receive from our clients on a regular basis.
MIKE & DC Rosi and Dwile,
We just wanted send you some updated pictures of DC and let you know how he is doing.
DC is by far the most loving dog we have ever known. We can’t imagine our lives without him, and didn’t really realize when we bought him how much we would love him. Mike and I build custom homes, so DC often get’s to be our sidekick whenever we go out to the job site. That is where most of these pictures are taken. He knows right away when we pull up to a site that he gets to run around and make friends with all the workers.
He has the best personality we have ever seen in a dog…everything you can see in his eyes! He loves to snuggle in the morning when we let him out of his crate… In the mornings when we get down on our knees to pet him, he gives us hugs (literally)… he puts his hands up on our shoulders and leans in for a kiss. He also will let Mike pick him up and lay him down backwards like a baby on the bed, and doesn’t move. His trust in us is incredible. He will sleep in my arms like a baby too when we are watching tv on the couch. (He does live the life of luxury.)
His favorite treat is Mother Hubbard P-Nuttiers… his will do his best trick for these (Play Dead), and he does such a great job… Mike will whistle the “wild wild west” shoot out and start out back to back with DC, he walks away turns and shoots him…DC will twirl and then fall on his back. He will also run suicide laps in our house if he isn’t done playing yet but we are. (I will have to send a video clip of this later…it’s the funniest thing you have ever seen…he just plays for hours by himself…and he is completely happy!) Although he is quite destructive with his toys…we only have a few toys we can buy that will last longer than a few days. (At least he knows what is his and what is ours). And it’s pretty obvious he likes to get dirty. (as you can see in the pictures)…if there is mud or water, he will find it. He will also fetch anything we throw him. (in one of the pictures we threw a huge branch, and sure enough he dragged it back to us.)
He is a GREAT swimmer, and prefers the mountain streams to just lakes. He is soooo strong…his shoulders and hind legs bulge with muscle.
SINCERELY,

PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER, CASEY BRAMLET, QUARTERBACK FOR THE MIAMI DOLPHINS AT THE TIME HE, AND HIS WIFE MARCI PURCHASED THEIR GOLDEN LIGHTNING LAB PUPPY. THEY ENJOY AND TREASURE THEIR FIRST "CHILD" BENTLEY.
BENTLEY HAS ATTENDED MIAMI DOLPHIN CHARITY EVENTS WITH MARCI AND CASEY. HE WAS THE LIMELIGHT OF THE EVENT.
EVEN THE NEWSPAPER HAD TO PHOTOGRAPH AND MENTION THAT BENTLEY WAS THE "STAR OF THE EVENT".
BENTLEY LOVES THE BEACH IN FLORIDA, AND HE ALSO LOVES THE SNOW IN WYOMING.
HE HAS A PAMPER LIFE, OF LOVE AND FUN.
THANK YOU MARCI AND CASEY FOR GIVING LITTLE BENTLEY SUCH A LOVING HOME.
Casey has been a member of the Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens. He was World Bowl XV Most Valuable Player with the Hamburg Sea Devils in 2007.
A note from Casey and Marci Bramlet:
Dwile and Rosi-
We just wanted to let you know how Bentley was doing. Since you sent us Bentley "Tate" in Fort Lauderdale, he has become the center of our family and the love of our lives. Just a couple days after we got him, Bentley helped Casey and I hand out Turkeys to the needy at an event for the Miami Dolphins. (Casey plays for the Dolphins...I don't know if we ever told you that.) A reporter there liked him so much that he included a bit about him in his piece about the event, "The Bramlets brought their new polar lab puppy, Bentley, to help at the event." He was into everything, being a very good "helper" and then he promptly fell asleep on the floor in the middle of all the action.
After the season, the three of us enjoyed a cross country road trip back home to Wyoming for a couple months with our families. We go back to Florida in a couple weeks. It has been so great having Bentley with us this whole time and introducing him to everything from the Beach to piles of snow in Wyoming! Bentley literally goes with us everywhere and loves meeting new people and dogs.
Everyone who meets Bentley loves him. Both of our parents, who have had their own experiences with labs, cannot believe that our puppy is so well-behaved and has such a great personality.
Thank you so much for giving us our first "child". And that is truly what he is to us...we couldn't love him more!
I am sending you (in a separate email) a Kodak Photo share of our times with Bentley...there are only a few pictures, but I should tell you that we've taken hundreds!
The first beach pictures were taken at Fort Lauderdale Beach, but the last beach picture was taken at Key Biscayne, the northernmost Florida Key. The snow pictures were taken in Star Valley, Wyoming. It is about an hour south of Jackson Hole. The picture of him watching TV, he is actually watching the Dog Whisperer. Its not a great picture because I just caught it on my phone, but it is hilarious. If you would like to know how old he is in any of the pictures, I'd be happy to tell you, although I'm sure you can make a pretty good guess!
We will continue to keep you updated on Bentley.
Take care,
Casey and Marci Bramlet

Hi Dwile and Rosi,
I just wanted to send you a couple pictures of Timber who is now 6
months old. We got her from you in September of 2007. She is the
daughter of Diamond Rio and Destiny.
She is absolutely amazing. Our lives have changed so much since we got her from you. She brings so much joy and laughter to our everyday lives. She loves to wake up in the morning and get a rub down from Mom, while at night she attacks dad playfully. When she gets excited she tucks her tail and runs like a race dog. She is on a mission and she sometimes doesn't even know where she is going. She loves to play out in the yard with her neighbor dog friend. They see each other through the fences and run up and down until they are too tired to run anymore. When dad gets home she plays fetch in the yard and goes on several walks a day, which she also loves.
She is such a blessing. It is unbelievable how good of a dog she is. You guys were wonderful at adapting her so when she came into our home she would feel at ease. We never had a problem with her missing her mommy and the second she scooted in the door at 2 months it was like she had been here all along.
You guys do a magnificent job and we can't wait to get another Lab puppy from you again!
Sincerely,
Shane & Aimee
Kansas
PS...Shane and Aimee did get a
second lab puppy from us.
Good afternoon Rosi and Dwile!
I just wanted to say hello and let you all know how
Khaki (BJ) is doing these days. We brought him home last March, and life just hasn't been the same since. He is just the most loving dog and he loves to play with our dachshund Bandit.
He loves to get his belly rubbed first thing in the morning, and likes to give "kisses"when asked.
He absolutely adores playing out in the snow and
will race around the yard at top speed, just for fun.
He has brought so much joy into our lives, we can't thank you
enough.
I’m sure raising labs as you do is very hard work, as fun
as it may seem to us. But I’m certain you have brought much joy into so many people’s lives, more than you can possibly imagine.
Will try to send you pictures from time to time, so you can see
how much fun he is, and how much we love him!

AND HIS SISTER
Dwile and Rosi:
Holiday greetings! We just wanted to send you some pictures and an update
on Crosby (Indigo) as he celebrates his first birthday this week. We truely
have been blessed with the world's greatest dog. If you remember it was a
big step for us to get a dog. You recommended Crosby to us because of his
personality. He is smart, loyal, loving, playful and fun. He was a perfect
fit for our active family.
I never thought a dog could have so much personality or become such an
important part of our family. Crosby loves to go for walks, swim in the
lake, snuggle in bed and play in the snow. He loves the recent snowfall we
have had here in Colorado. Crosby is a true family dog and is loyal to each
and everyone of us, especially our daughter. She has a unique relationship
with Crosby and he does whatever she tells him to. My daughter stills looks
at your website and is searching for a friend for Crosby. I'm sure that
will happen someday.
We had the opportunity this past summer for Crosby to meet at the lake to
swim with a fellow golden lightning lab that lives here in Colorado Springs.
Her name is Sassy. What a fun
afternoon that was. Thank you for raising such wonderful dogs. We are
truely blessed to have a golden lightning lab.
May you have a joyous holiday and a prosperous New Year!

"YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY.... CAUSE BABY LOOK AT YOU NOW!!" Alli Mae (Raegan) at 6 weeks old
"ALLI MAE" 9 MONTHS OLD
HI,
Happy New Year!
We bought Raegan from you. She was born in March, one of
Diamond Snow and Diamond Rio’s puppies.
Her new name is Alli Mae and she is almost 10 months old.
Our chocolate lab and Alli Mae have become the best of buddies.
They love to run in our fenced backyard.
Alli is such a sweetie. She gets into everything, but if she takes
something she shouldn’t have, she will always drop it when you
tell her to.
She is very active, but not wild and takes time for her naps.
She is a wonderful bed partner and usually you wake up with her
nose in your back. If she gets tired of the bed she goes on the
floor or into her kennel to sleep.
SHE IS THE SWEETEST PUPPY YOU COULD EVER WANT. We all love
her so much.
She cocks her head so cute when you talk to her.
We watch your website each week to see the new arrivals.
We would love to have another puppy but need to wait until Alli is
a little older.
We are sure you’ll hear from us again when it is time for a new
puppy. Thanks for the wonderful puppy!
Have a great New Year.

"RIO' 8 MONTHS OLD (MIDDLE LAB)
from Golden Lightning Labs a is owned by
Barb and Eric in New York.
Dear Dwile & Rosi,
Thank you so very much for our little Rio - she has to be one of the best puppies ever born!
She is so smart and loving, not to mention pretty and very fast!!
She has become an important member of the family - the other dogs play with her, clean her, nurture her - you should have seen them teaching her how to climb stairs AND break into where I keep the dog food - they really are "partners in crime".
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season and the very best in the New Year!

Hello, It's James and Alicia Mrdutt . We just wanted to drop you a line on how Amber is doing. Well it is that time of the year again. The yearly dog show was today and we entered Amber in Most Obedient. Amber was judged while running through all her obedience skills; including sit, stay and retrieving a mallard trainer and returning the trainer with proper release. After waiting for all the other dogs to be judged, we received the final results...for most Obedient...she took First Place...second year in a row. Last year she won at 4 months old, and this year she was 1year and 4 months old when she won. Thank you Golden Lightning Labs for breeding the smartest dog I have every had the pleasure of owning.
