Dex and his family celebrating Christmas, 2011

An e-mail from Dex's family:

"Hi Leila, Just thought I would send you a picture of our growing family! Kylie is 8 months old now. She is crawling everywhere, and just LOVES Dex. He is so gentle with her. We are teaching her to be gentle with him. He is being a wonderful brother! He has started teaching her a few things too. He loves to play tug a war so she learned to shake her head no by watching Dex shake his toys! She also likes to put her toys in her mouth and shake them like Dex! As long as she doesn't start using the bathroom outside I guess we'll be fine!! Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas!
God Bless!"

An e-mail from Leo's family:

"Hi Leila, You did such a great job with this little guy! So happy, smart and well adjusted!!! You are at your calling!!!!! I wish we lived closer, I think we would be good friends : ) You're wonderful yourself. May God bless you and fill you with his love as you pour it out on those around you!"

"SHARING OUR JOY": An e-mail from Rosie's family:

"Hi Leila, We are amazed at how well Rosie has done today! I think the pictures tell all...enjoy them. We are so grateful to you for raising her so well. She is such a joy to us & a special member of our family...we just adore her. Thanks so much,"
Jackie • Virginia, 2011

See Emma's face full of sweet love for her new puppy "Rosie" (Grandville Valentine's Rose), and enthralled in her new book, "A Story of a Promsing Puppy," written by breeder and author Leila Grandemange, which shares her passion for passing on the message of responsible dog ownership!

"SHARING OUR JOY": An e-mail from Pepper Posey's family:

"Dear Leila, Two words: True Love! Thank you so much for such a perfect and beautiful puppy! She is so much more than we expected, we are so blessed! The trip home was uneventful as well as introducing her to the rest of the family and her new house. She responded so well and settled right in. She slept very well in her crate next to my bed and the boys slept in sleeping bags on the floor near her. I trust that she feels loved and cared for. We are just delighted..."

Beautiful Leia at 7 months

Leia and Barnaby

Princess Leia has found her castle at the home of Mike and Francis, where she is lavished with love. She truly has the "good" life-- she is also loved and cared for by Barbara and Allen, ( her grand-parents), who sit for her during the day. Totally enchanted by Leia, Barbara and Allen came to bring home Barnaby, a stunning black and tan boy. Now it's one big happy family! Barbara also has shared about how smart Leia is, learning to ring the bell to go potty....now Barnaby will have to work hard to follow suit!
Thank you to all the family for giving our Grandville pups such a sweet life!

After adopting Bennie last year, Meagan and Joel have returned for a second puppy. They just couldn't resist little Micah, and took home this sweet little Blenhiem puppy who has stolen their hearts and home, and is also a wonderful companion for their first Cavalier, Bennie! Here we see them meeting Micah's brother and sister with Bennie in their lap. It was a really fun day having them at our house to meet all our dogs!

"SHARING OUR JOY": An e-mail from Micah's family:

"Hi Leila, Happy New Year to you too! I just wanted to let you know that Mac is doing WONDERFULLY! He was a little angel during all of our travels, and seemed to handle it all very well-- not too much stress on his system as far as we can tell. His potty training is going very well-- he's had hardly any accidents. He has an incredible amount of energy and is totally fearless! He climbed up a big flight of stairs all on his own the other day (with our supervision), like it was a piece of cake. He and Bennie have already become best friends. As I write this; they are both in Bennie's doggie bed wrestling!
We love our Mac attack! Thank you so very much for letting us take him home. He is such a joyful addition to the family!"
Love, Megan and Joel

"SHARING OUR JOY": An e-mail from Murphy's family:

"Hi Leila! Well we cannot thank you enough for Murphy! He has been a wonderful addition to our family… Murphy has so much personality and character that he really entertains us every day and lights up our home. We love him so much and are overjoyed with our decision to make him a part of our family. He is incredibly affectionate towards us and Tippin and the cats and always wants to be with us which of course we love. He travels with us in the car very well also which was important because we travel often to see our families. He especially loves when we visit my sister because she and my brother-in-law got a Great Dane puppy at the same time that we got Murphy and they LOVE to play together. Ralph is, of course, significantly larger than Murphy but I think Murphy thinks they are the same size! They are great friends. I have attached a picture of them cuddling together on Christmas…
We have attached several pictures for you to see how he has grown - we hope you enjoy them! I promise I will continue to update you and send pictures!"

Happy Thanksgiving."
