Dear Laurie, Just wanted to say thank you so much for the happiness you've brought into our lives. Sam is the most precious, kind and loving pup ever, it's amazing how perfectly he fit into our lives and loves us as if we had been with him forever. The experience has been wonderful, thank you for making it such an easy transition, especially with it being our first time buying through the internet. I look forward to doing buisness with you again and would definately recommend you to anyone who wants healthy, home bred, loving chi pups. Enclosed are some pics of Sam for you to enjoy. Love and Friendship, Cynthia Murgas Puerto Rico

Dear Laurie, I tried to send you an e-mail yesterday but got a message that the message didn't go throught because you didn't have an e-mail address at yahoo! So here we go, I'll try again. The trip home went great. The baby slept, clutched to Grandma's bosom the whole trip. He is doing great. Had him to the Vet yesterday and he was very pleased with his overall appearance and thought he seemed to be in excellent health. I take him back in two weeks for more shots. He spent the day yesterday at my office and, of course, captured everyone's heart. He met my brother also and they had an instant bonding experience! He is just so sweet, cuddly and a little ornery and I couldn't be more pleased. My best friend came to see him and brought him a little stuffed elephant that is as big as he is and he just loves to beat up on it. The Snuggle Puppy worked out great. I put the heartbeat mechanism in it and he cuddled right up to it and I didn't hear a peep out of him all night. If any of your future customers are interested in one they can find it on www.epets.com. Please feel free to put this letter on your web site with my gratitude for such a lovable, beautiful puppy.

Hi Laurie- I wanted to share with everyone what a wonderful experience I had working with you. From the day we first spoke until the day I brought Penelope home, it was a happy and exciting experience. Thanks to you and your beautiful babies I was able to welcome a wonderful new addition into our family. Penelope is healthy and happy and quickly became my best friend. Although nothing can replace the one I lost, she certainly worked her way into our hearts (and our bed!!). Your professional breeding ethics and love for these animals is obvious in all the babies. You can tell that my little girl was and is truly loved. I hope anyone looking for a quality puppy will come to you and be able to find the perfect friend. I would love to work with you in the future (if I can convince the hubby to get another one), and I look forward to seeing all your beautiful new litters. I am so glad I found you. Thank you for everything, Jackie Carbone

Hi Laurie I want to thank you for Cowboy! He is an incredible dog. He is so sweet and so loving it's hard to believe! He is the perfect dog for my mom. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. You were very patient with all the questions that we had and everything you told us about Cowboy was very accurate. It is obvious that you love your dogs very much. I would have no reservations about buying another dog from you. Thanks for all your help and for breeding such a wonderful dog! Jennifer Keller

Just wanted you to know how much we love our new baby. I think he is a wonderful addition to our home. I have been shopping around for a while and was truly looking for an exceptional male. I believe I have found him in this little boy. I need to get you address, as i accidentally took home Tempe's Pedigree. I appreciate the time you spent with me and I also appreciate you letting me change my mind on the order. We have named him "Prescott". I will send you pictures as he grows. Thanks again Michelle

Letter of Recommendation I want everyone to know that Laurie Hayes of Hayes Chihuahuas is an excellent breeder. It has been a wonderful experience dealing with Laurie. She has taken the time, knowledge and love to produce such a wonderful breed. I was a little skeptical doing business on the internet. After contacting Laurie I felt more at ease and knew I was on the right track. She quickly answered my questions and concerns regarding buying a puppy from her. I am pleased to do business with her and shall continue to refer anyone who is interested in a chi puppy. Ms. Hayes is a loving and caring person who is looking out for her little babies because all her puppies are happy and have great personalities which makes it easy to love them. Laurie greeted me with a hug and took the time to explain everything I needed to know about my new puppy. Even my stuffy husband warmed up to the new puppy and gave him a name (Chewy). I love my little puppy. I recommend Laurie Hayes of Hayes Chihuahuas to anyone who is looking for that Special Chihuahua. Thank you Laurie Hayes. The Cordova's

To: Laurie Hayes and all prospective customers of Hayes Chihuahuas From: Lynda and Donny Saveski Re: The quality of puppies provided by Hayes Chihuahuas My husband and I gave another puppy very careful consideration before we even began researching breeders in the area. We are newly married, in a new home and currently have two adorable dogs, Reginald Peabody III (a 3 yr old orange/cream Pomeranian) and Samson Fitzpatrick( a 2 yr old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Poodle mix). I have always wanted a chihuahua and once we agreed that we were ready for another family member of the four legged kind we began our search for the perfect bundle of joy. Most of the breeders’ websites we visited didn’t show many photos of the pups available or of their growth from newborns to ready to adopt at 8-10 weeks. We really didn’t want to have a puppy shipped to us either so we restricted our search to breeders in Arizona. We went to meet Laurie and see the puppies she had available a few weeks before Christmas and were extremely pleased with her personality, the condition of her home and the puppies themselves. They were clean, appeared well-mannered and comfortable with people. My husband agreed to purchase our puppy as a secret Christmas present for me so I was unaware of his visit to see the little puppy and check out how much he’d grown and changed two weeks later. We wanted to be sure that our new puppy was healthy, cute, strong, and well-adjusted. I hate to see animals treated shamefully. I have been to certain breeders’ homes in the area where I couldn’t imagine human children growing up in that environment let alone a puppy. The carpet and furniture was filthy and tiny dogs were running around dirty, skinny, and displaying behavioral problems at 6 weeks. That was not for me and there is no way I would pay someone for a dog from that kind of environment. Our puppy, Theodore Paddington I, is so sweet and loving. He is calm, playful, silly, and adventurous as well as lacking any behavioral problems you generally see with puppies who have been neglected. We couldn’t be more pleased with how physically beautiful he is. He is progressing nicely with learning to potty outside and enjoys sunning on the patio and streaking through the grass at top speed. We have no reservations about recommending Laurie because we feel she genuinely cares for her puppies as members of her family not just potential money in the bank. She keeps a clean house and her puppies stay in a playpen with their mom not in a cage. We feel that it is important to purchase a puppy that is not only physically sound but also one that has been well-loved by people from the beginning of its life. Snuggling a puppy , talking to it, and letting it explore your home make for a well-adjusted pet who is not fearful around new people or places. There is no way for a puppy raised in a cage with no human contact to be anything but a behavioral problem! Why take on that responsibility when there are respectable breeders like Laurie who truly love their puppies and provide a comfortable, safe and nurturing environment for them? We feel that if you want a puppy that will flourish in your home then please make arrangements to purchase a puppy from Laurie and don’t waste your time and money with breeders unless you visit their home. Sincerely, Lynda and Donny Saveski P.S. please see attached photos!
