Tom,

This has been a grand week for the puppy (Wilma) I purchased from you. Last Friday, she spoke (her first) with a beautiful voice on a covey of quail, on Saturday she barked on a rabbit, on Sunday she trailed 2 different rabbits and filled the air with music, and today she joined my 2 brankos for a couple of good races. Wilma is beautiful and loves attention. Her voice is incredible. Loud, booming and beautiful. Thanks for all your help! Darryl

Buddy, Holly:
Dear Mommy and Daddy, I love my new home these guys are great, they feed me two squares a day and call me "Jake" I think there names are big Lew and Lewie? They keep shoving this furry thing in front of me, and I think they want me to chase it? Whatever makes them happy I guess? It was a long plane ride by myself to New Jersey but even with the noise I slept rather well. But I'm very happy and I know there very happy with me. Tell uncle Tom I said Hi! By the way I'm the handsome one in the picture with four legs!!!
LOVE YA!

Tom,
This is a picture of "THYC Cox Road Chief" (AKC registered name) and my niece Nicole. Chief is 6 months old and has great form. He has a very deep voice for a young dog and has impressed all the local beaglers already. Many have requested him for stud service when he is old enough, without even seeing him run. The notable reputation of Hutman Beagle Kennels has certainly been obvious here in New York State, evidenced by the attention my puppy has received.

I would like to say thanks for the smooth purchase of the newest addition to our family. Thanks to you and your family, we have found the best beagle in the USA. Your hard work and efforts to make sure we got a dog is truly appreciated.

Tom,
I just wanted to say thanks again for the for the invitation at Salamonie Reservoir, Kyle & I really enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot on the do's and don'ts of rabbit hunting with beagles. Kyle thought that Chip was a real "ACE" in the field, I thought all of the dogs did great. I just hope that my dog does as well as yours in the future. I also valued your Dad's experience in the field, I could tell by talking to him that he's had a quite a few hunts under his belt. Next time you get down this way call me so we can do it again....again thanks for a great time!!
Rick & Kyle

Tom, Here are some pics we shot of the kids and Mack. He's a cool dog and the kids love him.

I'll send more pics in the future when we take him out in the field and see how he does. Thanks! Rick - Nov-26-01 9:42 EST

Hey Tom, We just bought a pup from you and we couldn't be happier with him. He is truly the best dog we have had yet. The personality of this dog is wonderful, playful yet obedient. He has fit right into our family without much grief, training him so far has not been to bad. He is great with my 8 year old twins that pester the poor thing from dusk to dawn. I just wanted to say thanks for putting so much into breeding your dogs, I'm lucky to have such a great family pet!!! Lori Tucker Valparaiso In. - Oct-23-01 15:28 EST
