Clinton Oaks Photo Gallery

Welcome to our photo gallery...here you will see pictures that were sent to us by the owners of dogs bred here at Clinton Oaks.

I LOVE getting the pictures and seeing how they have grown up. I want to thank each of you for giving one of our dogs a wonderful home, which are obviously full of love. I also want to thank you for staying in touch.

We have made some wonderful friends over the years!

These are pictures from the past few years, In 2004 we had a web site crash and lost photos that had been emailed to us since our web site was launched in 1999. Enjoy the beautiful people, dogs and the wonderful notes.

Gina,

Hope all is well with you and your family. Marcia and I are extremely happy with our Kodi, here are some pictures from pup to now. Take care of yourself and I look forward to your reply about If you have planned a day for all your dogs to meet. We are interested this summer, give us a date and were in.

Best regards,

Hey Gina,

How are you. I have been meaning to send you pictures
of Chase. So I finally got around to it. I can't believe that they are 6 months old already. Chase has outgrown Dee Dee by about 11 lbs. She is 60 lbs and
Dee Dee is 49. They are great puppies. These are all taken up north and my uncle is standing with Chase in one of the pictures and then there is a picture with both Dee Dee and Chase.

I hope things are going well with you and at the Kennel. I hope you have a wonderful 2010. :)

Stella dob 7-9-09

Happy New Year Gina,

I thought it was about time I sent you a Picture of Stella (DOB 7-09-2009). Six months old and I no longer have any rights to the couch. She's a very very smart pup! Sometime too much so. Can you tell me who's training who?

Thanks again for everything. Feel good in knowing she's loved very much

Your Friends,
Sheryl & Ken Johnson

Teague Boshoven, of Mount Airy, MD mouse hunting!

Not only is he gorgeous but he is really smart and really mellow!! We had him at a football party yesterday at someone's house and he settled right down unless someone bugged him to play (at which point he went crazy).

The mouse thing is funny because we watched him the other day rooting around for like 20 minutes... he would root, stop and listen, dig and root some more. We never saw him come up with anything but were suspecting he had something trapped under the snow.

Thanks again, he really is a GREAT dog!!

Hi Gina.
David and I wanted to wish you and your family happy holidays and send along a few pictures of Cooper at 5-1/2 months. He's gotten quite a bit bigger since our last email. He is really a wonderful dog. We couldn't be happier!

Happy Holidays!

This is Josie Bendix of Michigan City, Indiana, as a baby and all grown up! Josie was born the day after Thanksgiving last year at our home in Northern Michigan...the first and only pups ever born there! Thank you for the pictures JoFran, she is just beautiful!

Gina,
Merry Christmas to you as well.

I've been meaning to send photos of our Josie. She's great company and watches everything. I've sent the sleeping pup, the first time she noticed a bird, two shots of her watching from one of her favorite "perches", the family room couch; and two shots of her up at the Lake Place in Minnesota, again watching, this time the action on the bay and the neighbors. She loves to wrestle with her master and is always very playful. We love her to bits!!! She also has a wonderful, cuddly downtime ability. I'll try to send more photos.

She, of course, has just turned one the day after Thanksgiving.

I'm so glad we found you.....we love our Josie!

Keep in touch,
JoFran and Garry Bendix

Gina!

Can you believe that Mia was 1 year old yesterday? It really seems like just yesterday that I came to pick her up on December 27 on a snowy cold day! I just wanted you to know that as she has grown each month, she has become a wonderful companion and a very loving and affectionate dog. We love her so much.

She is such great company for my mother who is 85 and is at home with her all day. She is never alone. I always wondered why Mia always smells like Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds fragrance. My Mom told me each morning Mia sits on her bed while she is dressing. When my Mom puts her powder on, she dabs Mia on the top of her head and tells her that because she is a girl, she has to smell good. Mia has come to know she will get her head powdered each morning. It is the cutest thing as she sits and waits for my Mom to do this. Jennifer and Jeff play with her and love her up all the time. She gets plenty of kisses from all of us each and every day.

We are so thankful you decided to sell her to us because she was the only female in her litter. But the good Lord had other plans for her life and she was meant to bring happiness and joy into our home once again after much sadness over our loss of our beloved Willow.

You have given me two of my most treasured things in my lifetime . . . my two beautiful cocker spaniels.

Sandy Wallace, St. Clair Shores, MI

Hi Gina,
It has been over a year and I have not let you know about how Riley is doing. He is a very affectionate boy, and way smart. I take obedience lessons from Denise Whitfield in Indianapolis area and she thinks that I should give him to her. HA! He is a natural for heeling with style. He is progressing on his tracking to where I will get him Certified soon. I had his eyes CERF and his Thyroid checked, and he is normal on both. We still have to crate him when we go to work, he is only safe for short periods of time. Those active minds can find something to get into...and my throw rugs are a great tug toy.
He is a great addition to our family. He has fit right in and is a fast buddy to my other Golden Clancy.
I have attached a recent photo that was taken by a friend of mine. She sells these pictures to calendars. Clancy made the 2010 Golden Retriever by Browntrout, hopefully Riley will too.
Thanks for breeding such a nice dog for me.

Hi Gina. I just wanted to let you know that David and I are really enjoying our puppy, Cooper. I attached a recent picture of him - he's so cute & getting big! He's the hit of the neighborhood - you wouldn't believe the number of people we've met (and I've lived there 6 years!)

He's a really great dog so far....has his stubborn moments, but what puppy doesn't? We are approaching our 3rd puppy kindergarten class and we've been taking him on Tuesday nights to a "puppy party" where he can run & socialize with other dogs. He does really well with people and other dogs. He's not really interested in going on walks yet but everyone says that's temporary.

We were curious if you might be able to share how he scored on the puppy aptitude test. Now that we've gotten to know him, we thought that the comparison would be interesting.

Thank you again for such a great puppy! We really are enjoying him!!

Dexter of Jenkintown PA, all grown up!

Thank you Herm for the updated pix!

Hi Gina,

Sorry it took so long to get some new photos – a bunch were sitting in the camera, and I just took some more today after his grooming last week. He seems to be holding at about 17 pounds. Pretty handsome, huh?

Hope all is well out in Michigan. Any new litters planned?

Regards,

Hi Gina,
All is well with the Green family. Ruby is a great addition to the family. She is bringing out the "puppy" in her big sister Piper. Potty training is going great. She is growing leaps and bounds. Here are some pics of her first days and first trip to the lake. She's going to be a great swimmer like "Piper".

this is Forrest Malek...is this a guilty look or what??? He must have done something....

Hope everything is well with you. Sometime later today I hope to send you a few pictures of Abby on the anniversary of her first birthday. Jerry was having problems getting the pictures off of the camera onto the computer. She is such a sweetheart most of the time. She loves her big brother, Seamus. She recently completed Beginning Obedience at Canine Workshop and in my opinion she was the best young dog there.

Her favorite spot is either in Jerry or my lap as we sit in the Lazy-Boy. She plays, she runs, she jumps, she stalks birds, she attacks Seamus when he is trying to sleep, and she does get into trouble. She has recently found fascination in electrical cords (which weren’t plugged in thank goodness) so she is definitely not allowed to be without supervision.

I tried to get Jerry to buy Carmine but he thought 3 young dogs would be too much for us old folks. Hope we can bring her by some Saturday so you can see her in person. Look for pictures soon. Thank you again for your high standards in breeding dogs.

Gina just wanted you to know that eli is alive and doing very well. He is one smart puppy. He is fitting in around here very well with the other two dogs and two cats. I have some pics if you are interested? Let me know.

Thanks for everything.

Coop gets his CGC certificate

June 22, 2009 (YAY COOP!)

Hi Gina,

We did another AKC Trial last weekend in Cumberland, Maine. The Obedience and Rally events took place in a dirt-floored Pulling Arena that must have been a veritable Smorgasbord of smells! We qualified for our 2nd leg in Rally Novice A. We NQ'd again in Obedience, but it was mostly my fault this time, I couldn't stop talking to Cooper. He was doing so well and watching me and heeling nicely and before I could stop myself I was talking to him -- oops! He did also break the sit stay again, along with two of the other dozen or so dogs. Is there ever a novice event where all the dogs stay?

We also completed our Beginners Agility Class and move directly into the next Agility class this Sunday. Cooper is doing all of the obstacles (except the weave poles, which we haven't seen in class yet) with confidence, even the teeter. He really loves being on the move.

We have been working on scent articles too and Cooper is doing really well. He is consistently finding the right article out of 3 in both metal and leather.

I was away last week, so Ken took Coop on his morning walks. On three different days they saw two black bears (a mom and baby), a gray fox, and a turkey! This morning we startled a pair of partridges right under our feet. In each case, Cooper just sat and watched. What a perfect dog!

We are totally amazed each day by what a wonderful dog Cooper is. He is sweet and funny, and just about the smartest boy there is. I don't know what your secret recipe is, but don't change a thing

:-)

Hi Gina,

This is Christine LaFond. We got our dog from you back in 2007. I’m not sure which litter he was in, but he was born on 9.11.07. His name is Mondego, and I’m just giving you more recent photos of him to add to your website. One of them was taken last year at our wedding, he was our ring bearer.

Clinton Oaks Delta Breeze 1995-2010

Delta was the second generation of Parti Cockers born here. She had the cute habit of scrunching up her short little nose in what is commonly known as "smiling" a trait passed on to her from her mother. Delta was in our breeding program and retired at the age of 5 and went to live with Linda Pidutti of Mt. Clemens, MI. Linda and Delta later retired to the Tampa/St. Pete area, where she enjoyed the rest of her life. Delta passed away at the age of 14 years 7 months and her owner sent us this little tribute. Thank you Linda for providing such a wonderful home for one of our dogs.

Hi Gina,

Happy New Year. We took a few pictures of Abby during Christmas and I wanted to send them along to you. There is also a picture of Seamus, Abby’s Big Brother, who she loves more than us. If you notice the picture of the tree with no ornaments or bows on the bottom – Abby did her own decorating this year. She was constantly taking the ornaments off. It’s a good thing she is so cute – it keeps her from getting in big trouble.

She is so much fun and has a fabulous personality. She talks – in the mornings mostly – she has the funniest howls.

Thank you again for your dedication in good breeding of your cocker spaniels. We have only had two of your puppies and they have both been exceptional. Hope to bring Abby by soon for you to see her in person.

"Bruno" (Ch. Meadowpond Mac Truck son)

Gina,

Bruno was a big boy, but never heavy. He absolutely loved to swim and the last weekend of his life he spent at Hubbard Lake swimming his heart out. He was incredibly gentle with any children. All of our daughters loved him, especially our youngest, Allison. He was very good friends with my Dad's dog, Murphy. Murphy passed away this past spring. Bruno loved to sit in our front yard and watch the world go by. He also loved the leaves and the snow. He'd find a big pile of either and roll around in them. He was such a wonderful dog. I still miss him everyday. Thanks for letting me share.

Dear Gina,

We are so happy to share these pictures of Stella with you. Our little Cocker

Spaniel is now 7 months old. She is spunky, sweet and fun! Our Ginger, the

English Yellow Labrador enjoys her romps in the woods with Stella by her side.

They are great company for one another. Stella was just groomed this week, and

the groomer wanted to know who Stella's breeder was. Stella was so well-behaved

while being trimmed. What a compliment!

We are all set for Christmas and just wanted you to know how complete our family

is....now that we have Stella!

Merry Christmas!

AHHH!

Gina, I am sooooo overdue getting you pictures, I am sorry!! He is doing FANTASTIC! He is really good, really smart and was the star at his first obedience class on Wednesday night (he already sits, stays, and down stays). He is also gorgeous!!

Anyway, I will get some pictures soon. This one if from Halloween time where he was going through a little bit of an awkward phase. He is much "prettier" now (as my wife puts it).

We are VERY happy with him.

Dear Gina,

Charlie went peacefully yesterday. He no longer has to be pain or suffer. He was my beloved friend and faithful companion, who will be in my heart forever. We have so many great memories of Charlie and will cherish the the many wonderful years that we had. The grandchildren already have him up in heaven with their pet guinea pig.

I thank you so much for your words of encouragement which helped us not to be selfish and do it for Charlie. He did let us know. Here are a couple of pictures of Charlie. The last 2 were taken last week.

Again thank you for everything,
Pat

Gina-

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how our puppy Dexter is doing. He is such a wonderful addition to our home. He loves to play with our lab and the lab loves it too. The girls love to cuddle and play with him and I enjoy having him run around the house and follow me while I do laundry and sweeping - he loves to attack my dust mop! I actually have crate him because he just can't resist it! He really enjoys going to soccer games and sleeping in the grass or meeting other dogs - he is very social and loves to meet people and animals. We are so happy with his temperament - just the right amount of confidence without aggression. Thanks for sharing him with us!

Oh- I almost forgot! Can you resend me the link to the Cocker Spaniel board - it got deleted by accident. Thanks!

Gina,

I have one of your dogs. He is 9 and he is the best dog in the whole wide world. You handed him off to us March 2000. He is a golden retriever (very light) in color. His parents were Cora and Trick or Treat. He is gorgeous. Everyone, and I mean everyone stops and says what a beautiful golden we have. He could be a model! I have been hesitant to get another puppy because how could I get another perfect dog like Griffin? However, I think we might be ready. Is it true you have some males ready for pick up? I would love a male. Let me know.

Hi Gina-
We just finished looking at all of the photos of your beautiful dogs
over the years and wanted to share ours with you too!
We brought Riley home from your home in June of 2000. He is the best
dog we could of ever hoped for: sweet, affectionate, smart, and _we love
him dearly_.
He is a healthy, fun-loving family member and he brings us joy every day.
We truly appreciate the dedication you have in breeding wonderful family
dogs. Keep up the good work and thank you for giving us Riley.
Sincerely,

Hi Gina,

Forrest had his first visit to the doc yesterday. All is well, he weighs 12.7 lbs now.

He is sleeping very well in his cage at night, about 7 hours, which is all we get anyway!

The potty training is going amazingly well, not to jinx myself or anything, but he is going to the door and woofing to go out.

Hope you are enjoying this cold, wet summer!

Hi Gina,

We ARE enjoying him so much. He is really fun to be around and everyone he meets wants to steal him! He has been coming to the office with me
last week. Today he saw Dr King, my longtime vet, who thought he was a terrific puppy and was so glad to see me with a Golden again.

Only downside: I'm EXHAUSTED! :-)

Paula Powers

This precious photo is Mady and Cameron (Cameron is the dog) It was love at first sight and now they are inseparable and are a true testament to the Cocker temperament AND how well a 5 month old puppy adapts to young children and can fit seamlessly into a new home. For folks looking for a puppy...Please consider a puppy a few months old. Often they work out the BEST.

It will be 12 years since we had the pleasure of purchasing a pup (Prissy) from you.

Her parents were Gaitway's Bridge Mix and Clinton Oaks Ice Queen. She is a sweet, playful beauty still today. Attached are two pictures that I thought I would share. One from when we first received her and a more current one.

Thank you again.

Hi Gina,

Cooper is on his first vacation with us at Cape Cod. He had an adventure filled morning (attached a couple of pics)! We went out fishing in Ken's small aluminum outboard. Cooper jumped right into the boat at the dock and was very excited by all the fresh, salty new smells. Then, as he peered over the gunwales of the boat, the bow splash became irresistible and before I could utter a sound, he jumped in! I had his long line on him and he was paddling furiously. He drifted back a few feet and Ken hauled him out of the water. I thought he would be frightened out of his wits, but after several vigorous shakes (a soaking for me) he was back peering over the gunwales, although with a bit more caution. We pulled the boat out on an island and got out to walk the beach. Cooper was thrilled! He ran like a crazy man cutting big donuts in the sand. He tried chasing a few seagulls, then came back for hugs. What a morning!

On Saturday, we will compete in our first AKC Trial - we are signed up for Rally and Obedience. On June 28th we take our Canine Good Citizen test. We'll let you know how things go.

Hope all is well with you and your happy Goldens!

Dear Gina,

I was just browsing your website to take a look at the puppies and how they are coming along. I sometimes browse through your photo gallery and I was looking at all the wonderful dogs that you have proudly placed with their loving families and I thought about how lucky we all are. I see the pictures of Cali who was the love of my life and I know that her spirit will always be in my heart and I looked at my sweet little Remy who has brought so much joy to my life.... you might consider yourself a professional breeder but I thank you for being who you are and having the integrity of bringing these little angels in our world responsibly.

Remy is so handsome everywhere I go everyone tells me how good looking he is and what a wonderful dog he is. In fact, at his new school they have doggie ambassador's that are exceptional canines... you guessed it, he will be featured on their website as their new ambassador. Remy is smart, get along with everyone and gives clear and precise messages, I am so proud of my little guy. I am just grateful that I have Remy especially during these crazy times we are living in he bring joy and light in my life.

Thank you Gina

Hi Gina, I have been meaning to email for some time to tell you what a joy my little Cody is, thanks for creating this wonderful gift! He is such a smart little guy, he learns new commands so quickly. He's also incredibly social; he loves puppy kindergarten class and puppy daycare, lots of chances to romp and bounce with other puppies! The cold weather here in Syracuse has not been his favorite thing, but we are gradually working up to longer walks. He has such a loving and wonderful personality, when he gets a little sleepy his favorite thing is a lap to curl up on. I just adore him, and wanted to let you know how well he is doing!

Thanks Van, GREAT pictures November 26, 2008 Dear Gina, Thank you for your patience, It has been a busy couple of weeks. "Sailor" is doing great. She is full of energy now and is having so much fun with us. There isn't a single place in our home that she hasn't explored. Every once in a while we'll lose sight of her and then see her dart out from under a bookshelf. Yesterday we had Thanksgiving at Alaina's families house in Brighton, and we took all six dogs for a walk in the woods. It was so cool to see her following the 2 bird dogs, trying to see what the were looking for. She loves to go on walks and is getting used to her leash. Her brother Cowboy has been teaching her how to squirrel hunt the past few days also. Just this morning on our walk they worked together to chase down four squirrels. They have such a great time together. Thank you so much for everything. I hope that you had a nice thanksgiving, and best wishes for the upcoming Holidays also. Jon Scherer Sailor Scherer (somewhere under that pile of dogs!) Love these pictures...thank you for sending them October 7, 2008 Gina, Sorry for the delayed reply. I have a new email and only check this one every once in awhile. My husband, Bryan, and I were just talking about you and we always check in on the website and noticed the new litter... so stinkin' cute! Wish we could get another one!!! If you still need another reference, we'd be happy to do it. I'm also attaching a few pictures of Wrigley. He's a wonderful dog and an important member of the family. He's so active and LOVES sticks, retrieving, and swimming... especially when you put the three together. He could seriously go all day long if we'd let him. I also think he'd run himself to death if we let him! And then he snores, so funny! Two of the pictures were taken this past summer in Charlevoix, MI. We had a boat out on Lake Charlevoix and Wrigley was retrieving sticks and figured out how to climb the ladder the in the back to get onto the boat between throws! He's a character alright! The other picture is quite rare... of him being lazy. We love him very much and are so pleased with the dog you matched us up with. Thanks, Bryan and Nisha October 5, 2008 Hi Gina, Everything is going well, Zeke is a very special member of our family, and is very smart and well trained. He goes hunting with me at every opportunity. He has turned out on the small size for the breed, he is only 45lbs, and just 23 inches at the withers. I would be happy to talk to anyone interested in a puppy from your kennel. Bill Zeke of the hill! Thanks Bill October 2, 2008 Just wanted to send you this picture of Abby. She is doing really well. Eating good, behaving relatively well, aggravates Seamus to no end. She starts Puppy Class in two weeks and I am having her spayed on October 23 so she will miss one week but that is OK. She comes when you call her and knows “sit”. Great personality which was the thing that I loved about Tyler who we bought from you. Thank you for breeding exceptional puppies. Judy This is Mitch, the Ellsworth family recently lost this beautiful guy. You have our deepest sympathy. He will no doubt be remembered in your hearts for many years. Isn't this a great picture!! (it is the background on my laptop...) loved by the Jensen's of Prescott, MI Loosy Lucy Magnini! Murphy Fraczek Konnyr & KC and Diana (proud mom) Now this gives a new meaning to enjoying the water!	March 9, 2009 Herm (the human) and Dexter of Jenkintown PA! Welcome to the family Herm! March 16, 2009 Konnyr almost 1 year, loved by Diane and Ken Vavra, of Davison, Michigan what a good lookin dog! February 2009 The Chor puppies (above) LIFE IS GOOD! the black one is Casee (13 years young in June) the first dog the Chor family got from us, the buff baby is their newest addition. This is Mattie Anderson, of Barrington IL, all grown up. She was two years old on February 6, if you scroll down you can see her as baby puppy somewhere in the gallery. Happy Birthday Mattie! Gina Believe this is Mattie's birthday today -- now two years old. She is as wonderful as she is pretty. Everyone loves her -- people complement us all the time when walking her -- never barks -- the kindest friendliest dog -- a fast learner --- something really special. Jim Anderson (below) Samantha Another Trucker daughter owned by Lori Bean, she was born February of 1993 and the Bean family recently lost her. Thank you for your kind words and while we are saddened by your loss, we are happy you had so many great years with her. Merry Christmas from Karma, Sequoia and Apollo Creed This is Murphy Pope of League City TX., Murphy recently passed away after 14.5 wonderful years he shared with his owner Barbara, Gracie the Cocker, Nika & Abby the kitties. Our condolences go out to Barbara as well as our 'thanks' for loving Murphy through thick and thin and all those miles! Nov 20, 2008 Gina, Just wanted to let you know how the baby is doing. She has settled in very nicely. She loves her new home and loves to play with cowboy. I see her growing up so much every day, and she is having so much fun exploring her new world. She is getting very good at house training and rarely goes in the house. She had her vet appt. on Monday which went very well also. I will send you some pictures as soon as I sort through them (We've taken so many already). Thank you so much for taking such good care of her and matching her to us. Jon Scherer ~ November 17, 2008 Hi Gina, Now that farm activities have slowed a bit, I thought I'd send you an update on "Puppy D", the 4 pound wonder puppy! PeeDee is 50+ pounds of energy now, but is able to calm down so that he can been make visits to the senior citizens residences. They LOVE him. He's a very sweet boy. "Golden" people are interested in his breeding, & I've been giving them your info. Thank you again for your help & we wish you the best!! MaryAnn D Spencer, IN Cidney Gebara...a Trucker & Flame daughter she is 11 years old...what a pretty girl :-) 9/08 Thank you to the Travis family for sending these GREAT pictures! This is Guiness and Miller (pup) We matched this family with what appears to be the PERFECT companion for their 2 1/2 year old Guiness.... ~ Update: October 2008. It is with great sadness that I am posting that I learned of Taylor's passing in mid Sept. I recently spent some time with this very beautiful and dignified dog. I know that Joe and Kathy are just devastated by his loss. You both are in my thoughts. Taylor Melito...now a senior, this picture was taken when he was 2 It is one of our favorite photos that capture the distinctive look of our dogs...this is the background on my office computer! He is loved by Joe & Kathy Melito ~ Remy on the 4th of July! The whole family! A couple of New puppy owners shared phone #'s and get siblings together for play! This is Arlo (left) & Ellie Rose his sister on the right!
The life of our puppies!
