Dear Mrs. Bolstridge,
2-2-06
2-2-06After visiting your farm in Abbeville, Georgia to pick out our new Pyrenees puppy, my wife and I would like you to know how impressed we were with the operation of your puppy house. It was extremely clean and neat which is important to us. The pups themselves were immaculate and spunky. It was obvious that they had been well taken care of. We liked your system of keeping the mom and the pups together while allowing the mother to go separately into her outdoor kennel by a pet door as she pleased. Additionally it was good to see a heat lamp available for the pups in their shed on cold days and an air conditioner for the hot ones.
The other Pyrenees seemed friendly and relaxed and got along well with the goats and each other. Most importantly we liked your philosophy of breeding only those Pyrenees with gentle and desirable temperaments. We also liked the fact that you rested the mothers by skippng every other breeding cycle to allow them time to fully recuperate from the stress of puppy rearing. We are most excited to have our new puppy arrive and thank you again for allowing us to visit your farm.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bruce and Pam Irwin

Hi, Jeannie,10-7-06
10-7-06I was very nervous about ordering a puppy on-line, sight unseen. Your on-line pictures were helpful in not only seeing the pups available, but also views of your farm and family.
I did use paypal and found it an easy way for both of us to be safe.
You told me the name of your vet and I found his office online. I called there and asked about you and your puppy business. I was told there wasn't anyone more caring or trustworthy than you. They said your animals were healthy and loved. I could not go wrong, buying a pup from you.
They were right! You have been wonderful to work with and I
would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a healthy,
happy, Great Pyrenees.
Thank you for all your hard work.

10-13-06I picked out my baby "China" from a picture on the website when she was 3 weeks old. Jeannie kept current pictures up for me so I could watch her grow, until she was old enough to be shipped to California. The shipping was safe and easy, Jeannie kept me informed all the way. And what a thrill when I took that ball of fur out of the crate! She slept on my lap all the way home and has been my best friend ever since.
China is now a year and a half old and the most wonderful dog ever! If I am ever in the position to get China a friend, I would only buy the next puppy from Jeannie.

1-22-07My husband and I purchased two great Pyrenees puppies from Jeannie. We found out about her on the internet and then called to talk to her in person. Her website was useful and updated very quickly with photos and information. This made it nice as we are out of state. We own an alpaca farm and needed guard dogs for our herd. It was important to us that the animals be well taken care of and all medical concerns be handled proactively. When we met her to pick up the puppies, they were exactly what we expected and needed. Both of them were healthy, happy and chubby. We are also pleased with Jeannie's post placement contact. She has written several times to check-in on the puppies health and transition to our farm. I would not hesitate to purchase animals from her again and would recommend her to any friend in need of a great Pyrenees. Over all it has been a very pleasant experience and we love our two new furry additions.

Dear Jeannie, 3-3-07
3-3-07I wanted to write and say thanks so much for all of your help through our puppy process. You have our vote !!! Not only did Jim and I find you to be a very caring and attentive person to your Great Pyrenees, your knowledge of this breed and all your assistance and ability to answer our questions was so much appreciated. I remember when we were trying to choose a pup. It was a very difficult task for me.When we spoke I gave you a tall list of what we were looking for in a pup, personality as well as physical attributes. Bandelaite has not only met all of those expectations but much, much more. You have a special ability to match pups and families. Not only is Bandelaite a beautiful pup physically, his personality is sweet, loving,( he always wants to snuggle !!! ) very laid back , and smart . I can not tell you how smart he is! It is unbelievable ! And as far as the children and grandchildren...you were right again ! He is extremely attentive to all of them. Loves to play but is very gentle always.
Bandelaite was the star of the show on his first well puppy visit. His Dr. said he appears to have been taken very well care of and described him as a healthy, happy, well adjusted great looking pup with a fantastic tempermant. I would recommend you to anyone considering a Great Pyrenees. Thank you so much for all you have done. Enclosed is a picture of Bandelaite going to the Dr.s.
Sincerely,
Jim and Brenda Wojciak
Our Prayers are with Brenda as she faces alone the loss of Bandelaite . December, 2009
We bought Abby from Jeannie in July, 2004, and we got our bundle of joy delivered to us by her daughter Hannah all the way from Georgia to New York! Talk about customer service and satisfaction guaranteed!
Our Abby is gorgeous, sweet, smart and those almond eyes will get you everytime. Jeannie is the best breeder to deal with because she is always available to answer any queries. She is very nice and her concern for her pups is unconditional. You will never find a better
person to buy pyr pups from. I highly recommend her and her farm.
I just hope everyone else is as happy as we are!
Best of luck and God bless your family Jeannie!
Love,
Jane, Renato & Abby

3-26-07I just want to thank you for all of your help in picking out our wonderful puppy Duke. Your many emails and pictures with updates were a great help to us as we are so far away and had to rely on your information. You were honest, forthcoming and upfront about everything. Your help in arranging the pick up and attention to detail are what made the process very easy. Duke is everything you said he was and more.
Duke's gentle personality is a perfect fit with our family and our livestock. Duke is kind and patient with our children and is showing signs of being a wonderful livestock guardian. I look forward to many years of working with Duke on our farm.
Best Regards,
Diane

A testimony for Sonya and Big John
July 18, 2007
My Husband and I have had the pleasure of visiting the home of Jeannie and her family of Great Pyrenees several times. We requested to meet both parents and the puppies the day after they were born and that request was happily obliged. She was very open and honest with us about Sonya and Big John. She showed us where she kept both dogs and the puppies, their diets, and their personality traits. The personality of the Great Pyr was a big seller to my husband and I. We live in a small community with lots of children and plan on starting our own family soon. We wanted a gentle giant that would work well with the people in our neighborhood but be a deterrent for any person trying to do harm to our family. Meeting Sonya and Big John was first on our to do list since the personality of the Great Pyr was so important to our family. Upon arrival the first one to meet us was Big John. Though he is not a shy dog he is fairly timid to new comers but warms up quickly to your presence. He is in fact one of the largest dogs I have seen which was pleasing to my husband and I since that was another important fact in a Great Pyr for our family. Our first impression of Big John was that he was very peaceable and gentle but if danger were to arise he would protect his family at all cost. Big John met us on his own terms; he did not bark but gave us watchful glances as we approached. He was very friendly and calm in our presence. We noticed his loyalty to Jeannie right away and were pleased at his reaction to us. We were also pleased at Sonya's reaction to our first meeting. Although she watched you carefully when holding one of her puppies she was very trusting of the human hand. Sonya's personality was very patient, peaceable, and gentle. She is very attentive to the needs of her puppies. If any of her puppies cried she immediately came over to make sure it was alright but was never aggressive if they cried in our arms. We have been very pleased with our visits and greatly appreciate the openness that Jeannie has showed to us. My husband and I were very pleased with the personality traits of both Sonya and Big John. We are looking forward to bringing our own puppy home and are confident in the personality of our own little one as she grows.

Mary Jean got Bear from us, and then he died suddenly from a car accident there in Texas.

Bear was killed January, 2008. Our prayers
were sent to Mary Jean during this time.

I never thought that I would love a dog as much as I love my Samson. He has been by my side for 1 year and three months now, and I can’t imagine how I ever got along without him. My wife turned him into the cuddler that he is today, however he also has a keen sense of awareness to protect us at all times. He’s also great with people of all ages. I am always amazed when we go on walks in the neighborhood and he doesn’t bark or growl at other dogs that are barking at him. He gets in front of me and assumes a stance as if to say, ‘Do not come any closer!’ no barking or jumping involved. He is obedient and extremely smart. I am 100% satisfied and I would like to thank you for selling this wonderful dog to me!
Take care,

Back in May 2008 my wife and I were wanting to get a puppy. After researching we decided on a Great Pyrenees. Then I began an Internet search and we found Jeannie. She had one male pup left, and he was gorgeous! I thought he was the "pick of the litter". We immediately contacted Jeannie and she went out of her way to help us and answer every question we had. When Rocky came he was amazing, my wife and I were besides ourselves with joy! Rocky was everything we had hoped for and so much more! Then we decided we would like to have yet another puppy, and got Dakota. Jeannie was awesome in making our dreams come true once again!
Dakota and Rocky have so much fun together, and often look like bookends. They are so loving, smart, healthy, and personable! They love people and people love seeing them. The neighborhood kids visit to play with the dogs, and the dogs are so gentle with them. Pyrenees aren't hyper, don't chase other animals, and stay close to their owners. Our Rocky loves to play fetch, which is unreal for a Pyrenees to do, but he does. Dakota loves chasing Rocky as he fetches tennis balls, but she has her own personality. She loves to cuddle!
Dakota is at the moment too young to guard, but our Rocky is alert to everything. There is no doubt he would protect us at all costs!
Our Pyrenees are the joys of our lives! We could never have made a better choice, or found a more loving breeder! The dogs have brought us so much joy and provide many happy moments in our home. Jeannie keeps in touch with us, and vise-Vera. She is such a caring wonderful lady! I you have any doubts about Jeannie and their wonderful puppies, I can tell you from experience, she is awesome and the puppies are healthy, very well cared for, loved, and simply wonderful animals!!!!
