"Happy Wanderer of Rutland Manor"

The lovely Wanda came to us completely by accident.  Her pedigree was not impressive, but she was special from the very first day.  Gentle of spirit, kind intuitive and biddable she was an absolute joy.  She produced outstanding puppies to Rutlands Magnum, Stuartleigh Rustie Ryan and Rutlands Redd Baron, and all her babies refflected her own sweetness. Whereas she was 'Happy Wanderer OF Rutland Manor'  her baby daughter we have kept to carry on her tradition has been named "Rutlands Happy Wanderer"  (Happy)  in her beautiful mother's honor. Wanda retired to her loving Forever Home the United States in November  2007.  Here is her new family's accounting of her arrival. "Beverley, She is here and she is fabulous!  Her tail has not stopped wagging. I cooked brown rice and chicken, and she ate well and seemed to like everything. She is great and I am thrilled. I will send pictures soon." And....  "Beverly, I have to tell you how much I adore Wanda! She is a fabulous dog. Her tail was wagging in her crate at the airport, and it hasn't stopped except when she is sleeping. I have not heard her bark in the 2 weeks she has been here. And she loves attention and affection (actually, so do I). She is beautifully trained, and so much easier to walk than my 2 Maltepoos. (I wish you could train them for me.) She has been completely accepted by Rosie (my 15 lb. Maltelpoo) and Bella (8 lbs) is working on it. She briefly forgot herself yesterday and started to play - then she remembered that Wanda has disturbed the balance. It was pretty funny. I think the fact that she has had puppies makes her very accepting of the other two. Bella barked at her a lot in the beginning, and Wanda just ignored her.  We're walking a couple of miles every morning and maybe 1 mile in the evening. I did take her on a 6+ mile walk, and she did very well. I just want to make sure she is getting everything she needs and is used to.  Thank you so much for this amazing dog - she is even more wonderful than I hoped she would be. I will send pictures soon. We are moving tomorrow after 33 years in the same 5200 sq. ft. house, and I have been so busy. We are going to a 1700 sq. ft. house on a big lot with a big fenced yard. I am looking forward to spending some quiet time on the sofa with all the dogs, which I will do before all the boxes are unpacked.  Karen." Some Typical Feedback on Wanda's Puppies Hi Beverly-  I’ve had my doodle, Henry (from Wanda’s first litter), for two years and a week now.  We just couldn’t be happier together!!  We are so happy, in fact, that my husband (We’ve been married 5 ½ weeks now!) would like to see about adding to our little family.  Could you please send me current pricing for your puppies?  I am in California, USA.   Thanks a million,  Jeanette J Hi Beverly, Brynlee is doing fine.  She is an amazing little puppy already.  Our first night went quite well, we stayed up and played for quite awhile after finally arriving home and she quieted for the night within 10 minutes.  In some ways, I’m thinking it is more of an adjustment for me than her.  Vet check tomorrow and I expect everything to check out ok.  Thank you for my wonderful little dog.  She is such a delight already and very smart with lots of personality.  She is filled with wonderful puppy energy but no hyperness.  I have Thurs/Fri this week and all next week off for vacation so we’ll have lots of time to know each other and set the pattern.
