Happy New Year! I know I have been neglecting this page a little bit over the last year or so, but university has been keeping me quite busy. I will, however, try to get a few more updates going on here. Remember that pictures of your Entlebuchers are always welcome! Just send them to me and I'll put them on the page!

I added a Books section to my website, because I felt that maybe some of you would like to have some information in print for yourselves or to share with others. If there are any other good books about the Entlebucher or any of the four Mountain Dogs that you recommend, please send me their titles, and I will add them to the page. Thank you for your cooperation, and continuing support of this page.

Heavy reconstruction. I changed the titles of Image Gallery 1 and Image Gallery 2 to 'My Dog' and 'Your Dogs', respectively. Remember, if you find a glitch with this, or any other part of my website, please tell me about it. It'll make your life much easier, as well as mine.
I added a second page to the new 'Your Dogs' page because you have all been so kind in sending in your pictures of your Entlebuchers. Thank you!
December 28, 2000

As you probably know, this site is now one year old, and I have received well over 1200 hits. Thank you for continuing to make this site better!
I have not received very many pictures of other dogs besides mine for my second Image Gallery yet. Actually, I have only receieved one! Again, I encourage you to email your pictures of your dogs.
July 27, 2000
I have added yet another breeder to my Breeders page. Check it out! I am impressed with the response I am getting, and the questions I am receiving about these animals. Don't be shy to ask questions if you have any!
June 26, 2000
I have added another breeder to my Breeders page, so you might want to check it out. I am very impressed with the number of people that have visited this site since the opening in August of '99. The interest in these dogs seems to be climbing. Please sign the guestbook and tell me what you think of the site so far, and what, if anything, should be improved.
April 22, 2000
I haven't updated in a while because I need more pictures. I wasted a whole roll of film trying to get a good picture of my dog, and none turned out. Anyhow, no one wants to look at one dog anyway, so I would really appreciate it if you would send in more pictures of your dogs at home. Thanks in advance.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would email me about what I could add, remove or edit on this site to make it better. Thank you.
February 27, 2000
I have finally receieved an Entlebucher picture for Image Gallery 2 (now renamed to 'Your Dogs'), so you can go and check that out. I remind you all that you can send me your Entlebucher pictures or breeder information, and I will post it on my site.
I have added Blue-Jay Entlebuchers to my list of breeders.
January 20, 2000
I am very impressed with the number of guests this site has received. Since August of 1999, almost 500 people have enjoyed (hopefully) my site!. I know that a lot of you would prefer if this site had more pictures of the dogs, so I am trying my hardest to catch my dog at the best of times, and post the pics up on the site. Thank you for your patience, and remember that you can also send me pictures of your Entlebuchers through email
January 11, 2000
Today I corrected any possible resolution conflicts with the website. A reminder, this page looks best at 800x600 with 16 bit or higher color. Any resolution lower than 800x600 will result in scroll bars on the menu.
December 23, 1999
I added a list of Breeders to my site, which was inspired by a visitor who signed into my guestbook. I thought that this would be a good idea, so I added it. If any of you are breeders and you would like to be added to this list, or if you know of any breeders that are missing from the list, please email me their contact information. Thank you.
December 17, 1999
I am very impressed with the number of visitors I am receiving, but I have 2 concerns. The first, is that no one is signing into the guestbook. I have tried to make it as visible as I could on my page, but still, almost all of you have not left any comments behind. My second concern, is that Image Gallery 2 (now renamed to 'Your Dogs') has been empty for quite some time, as no one is sending me their pictures of their rare pets at home. Please send me your pictures of your rare dogs at home with the name of the dog along with some information. If you have any problems sending me the picture through email, please tell me about it.
November 16, 1999
I adjusted the menu on the left so that it could be viewed half-decently at a screen resolution of 640x480. If you are still having trouble getting the menu on the left, email me, and I will try to remedy the situation.
November 7, 1999
I am very impressed with the number of visits this page is receiving, however, I encourage you to sign my guestbook and leave your comments so that I will be able to make this the best site about these dogs.
November 1, 1999
Added the Angelfire.com Toolbar to the page (requirement by Angelfire.com)
