9/29/2014 Min Pin, MI.

I speak on behalf of my wife Sue. Having recently gone through the loss of a very devoted and special older MinPin of 15 years old, we had a HUGE void left in our hearts. It would take a small miracle to fill that void. Enter MarBrees MinPins. Words cannot express our true feelings on the acquisition of our little wonder now called Willow. We are at peace because Marj created that little miracle for us. Her extremely devoted, professional and caring demeanor, both for her animals and especially for our little girl was very evident when we met her with Willow in her arms. It was an emotional meeting, one that will never be forgotten. After riding in a car for over 14 hours, and yes, numerous stops, it was a testament to Marjs' careful and dedicated breeding finesse. Our little girl is by far, much more than we expected. She plays hard and enjoys her naps. A little sweetie to hug and kiss all day long. If you are looking for that SPECIAL DIAMOND, look no further. It only takes a quick phone call as we did, to open up an entire world of wonder, excitement and pure love. We probably should have bought two little wonders. Marj, you made a dream come true and you healed our broken hearts. Thank you so much. She even watches TV.

Thank you, John

Hi Marj

He has been so awesome since we got him in the car. He slept the whole way home. He has adjusted to the house already, slept all night. Not sure if you potty or kennel trained him but he seems to understand that system pretty good.
There is a Chuck and Don's between work and home so I stopped in to get him some more food. Really nice place and the people were super nice. We couldn't be happier with him and look forward to getting to know him more.
Thanks

Hi Marj, Aug. 2013 Min Pin MN.

We picked up the little red min pin "leo" last Tuesday and brought along Oscar formally known as "Hercules" Just have to let you know that Leo has been doing great! He eats like a little pig and Oscar his brother absolutely loves him. Oscar has shown no signs of having the need to be the alfa male! They play with each other non-stop and sleep together in the same little doggie bed. It is absolutely adorable.! Still working on potty training but of course that will come and Mr. Leo hates being in the kennel by himself. He cries and cries!! So glad we found you almost 2 years ago when we got Oscar from you and now these 2 will grow up together for many years to come! I will send you a picture once Leo gets bigger. He pretty much looks the same!!

Thank you,

My name is Michael Brennan and I am writing to you to thank you for the most

amazing dog/friend that I could have ever asked for.

I'm a 42 year old disabled veteran, I live in Fort Myers Florida. I was given Shiba from a couple in

Cape Coral Florida in June 2008. I think she was born In September 2007. I say with no

hesitation that I would not be here today if it were not for her. She has an intelligence

that few people I know posses and understand me like few ever will. She does all that and

she may be the most beautiful dog you will ever see.

I hope next time that you are working hard to take care of all your animals, that it will

make it a little easier knowing what some of them do when they leave.

I attached a pic of her it is a little blurry, but still her.

Michael Brennan.

Every where I go with my Mom and Dad, I�m always told how cute I am. She tells the people that I came from MN and if they asked any questions she tells that that you have beautiful puppies. I�m very people friendly and love the attendance. I am very happy in my new home. I would refer you to anyone who would be interested in buying a Min Pin puppy because we are very cute, healthy and happy.

You may used any of this letter for your web site, because I am very happy and healthy.

Have a nice day,

Dear Marj-Thank you so much for our little bundle of joy Suki. She is a red Shiba born on July 31st 20/12. What a fantastic experience we continue to have with Mar Brees. I was a little leery of dealing with an on line breeder. You made the entire process extremely easy. What a first class operation! Suki arrived at the airport in fantastic condition ,and she came to us even earlier than we expected. I would like to thank you for all of the time you spent with me on the phone also.. I highly recommend Mar Brees to anyone looking for an outstanding Shiba Inu breeder. BOB

I copied this e-mail from Doug, not sure why the white boarder stayed around it, I can't edit it to remove it. Marj

Hi Marj,

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to tell you how much we love our new Shiba named Nikita... Nikita, within just a few days of arrival, is already potty trained and seems to be very adjusted to her new home; so much so that we have actually trained her to ring a bell when she wants to go out to potty and play - it's absolutely amazing. Nikita has such a great temperament and has already bonded with our 4 year old daughter who she loves to chase around. On another note... I want to thank you again for the time you took with me on the phone and how seamlessly you made the whole process of purchase to flying the puppy to our location. I can tell you that this was the first time that my wife and I ever purchased a puppy over the Internet and not to mention out of state. I can honestly say that if you ever needed any referral please have them call me because I will tell them what a great puppy we have! and not to mention if we decide to get a little brother or sister for Nikita, we are going to be calling you... Thanks again for everything... and please see the couple of pictures that I have attached.

Best regards,

Doug

Hi Marj,

I wanted to let you know that � Jersey � is doing unbelievable!! She has brought us so much joy.
We still miss Stella so much but it certainly is much less painful!

She is a typical Min Pin � no fear and very full of herself. Our dachshund Ginger took to her pretty quickly. Ginger is very good with her, almost taking on a motherly role at times!

Jersey is doing so well at potty training � better that I would EVER expect. She has had 4 accidents. Considering she poops and pees up to 10 times a day, I would say she is doing exceptional. We take her outside to the grass immediately after waking, eating and after an hour of playing. She goes immediately!! I can�t tell you how thrilled I am about that.

Anyway, thank you again. We love our Jersey Girl!!! I will e mail pics soon!!

My girl, Farah, was born on 11/12/09 and has been my faithful companion ever since I got her from Mar Bree. 
 I fly frequently on business and Farah has attained registered service dog status which helps me on long distance flights. 
 Farah was named after her namesake, Farrah Fawcett, who died about the time I got my Min Pin. 
 My girl is smart, obeys my verbal orders and impresses the masses.  She is an amazing Min Pin!

I highly recommend Mar Bree as a reputable breeder of champion animals!

Hi Marj, this is Dick from Chicago. I can't tell you how happy I am with my new puppy, he has been absolutely perfect since he sprung out of his kennel after I picked him up from the airport. I am so glad I found your site, I know I got my new family member from a terrific breeder who really loves and does justice to the breed!!! I will continue to care & love this little guy everyday, I do not take being a dog owner lightly and I promise the wonderful puppy you raised will be loved and spoiled everyday !!! Thank you so much for allowing me to own one of your little treasures.... I will be adding a buddy for him in the next year, and you can bet I will come right back to you!!! No worries with Marj's puppies!!!
Thank you again, Dick Glass.

Hello Marj, just wanted to send you a photo of �Roscoe� aka formerly Duncan with his new best buddy, Bob

He is doing great. He is full of himself and even has successfully be accepted into the family of other dogs�Daughter�s 3 year old Boxer Chief, my son�s 18 week old Doberman Chopper and my friends two beagles. He is quite the little thief! He steals ladies lingerie, drags around hubby�s sweatshirts and steals the chew sticks right out from under Chopper�s nose

Thanks again!

Hi Marj~

I just wanted to let you know I am so happy with my puppy! I think you had called him "Weston" born on Aug 17, but to us, he is Jethro. And Jethro is just the cutest pup ever! For being a munchkin, he is all dog! He is playful, energetic, smart and cuddly. Even my husband is madly in love with him; and he is not a "dog-person".

Jethro is just the perfect dog! Little enough to be a lap dog and playful like a Lab. He loves playing fetch, playing in the snow and giving kisses. He sits still during baths even if he doesn't love them.

I attached a picture I took of him earlier this week.

Marj,

I�m sure you remember your newborn Minnie born last March. We call her Mieko. We brought her to the Renaissance Festival in Shakopee yesterday. She got so much attention we took her to the car for a few hours so we could enjoy the festival ourselves. People thought she was so beautiful and calm.

I just thought I would let you know that 5 people typed your web address into their phone so they could contact you for a Shiba Inu. We have great things to say about your farm, and breeding. Mieko is awesome.

Hey Marj,

I just wanted to thank you for helping us to find the perfect puppy for us. You made the search for a dog seem so easy. We couldn�t imagine finding a more friendly breeder. After having Puma for a week we couldn�t be happier. He is the sweetest dog and learns so fast. Having him potty trained by the first day was a miracle and we haven�t had any accidents since. He already feels like part of the family.

Thank you,

Hi Marj, I really appreciate you checking in. Merrill (not your everyday cat name, I know) has done a phenomenal job adapting to his new home. He gets along very well with our two dogs and everyone in the household adores him. He is scheduled to get neutered the very end of summer. He is very well behaved and the second you call him name he is right there at your feet. We all love him and would like to thank you for such a lovely kitty. I attached a few pictures of him, I've taken hundreds, he is just SO cute! Have a great day! -Annie

6/7/11/Bengal Kitten, MN
Hi Marj,
I just had to write you a quick note and tell you how pleased we are with smokey (still working on a name). He is beautiful inside and out. I swear he's more beautiful every time I look at him!! He ate lots this afternoon so I don't think he's too stressed this being his first day in his new home. We pet him the whole while and he purred and purred and purred!! He's in our bedroom and having alot of time to himself as he acquaints himself. We go in every hour or two just sit and start playing with a few toys and out he comes. He's learning to trust his surroundings and us I guess. Thank you for all your time & patience while I was at your home choosing my kitten. Char

1/12/11 Bengal Kitten, MN.

And as for Silas, he is doing great! His personality is just as you described! He is such a wonderful and loving kitten! I think he found his new playmate as well. Our German Shorthair Sadie, he follows her around everywhere! It's so darn cute! I got a few pictures of them laying together and next to each other. He definitely keeps busy in our house as we are a very active family, so there is never really a dull moment and I think he enjoys that. He loves being around everybody. At night I keep him in my room to sleep and he cuddles right up to my neck and puuurrrss away! :) You did a wonderful job with him! I'll keep in touch with you with pictures and e-mails and who knows we just may be wanting another one of your wonderful kittens in the future! :)

Thanks so much! Kayla Lewis

Just wanted to let you know how "Leo" is doing! He did awesome on the car ride home and has adjusted really well to his new home. He is a lover boy- so sweet and gentle. He is very social and plays plays plays!! He has been a great joy for us! Anyway- here are some photos!

Merry Christmas!

Hello Marj,
Thought I would send a couple pictures of our puppy we purchased from you this summer. She is female #1 from Shorty & Jasper. One picture was taken after her first haircut in August, and the other is with my daughter on Halloween. Now her white ear sticks up and the dark ear lays flat...so cute!!
She is such a fun puppy, and we enjoy her so much!
Thank you for taking such good care of your pups! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Hi there Marj!!! Remember me??? Bought "Izzi" from you SIX years ago. How time just really flys!!!
All is well with her. She's starting to get grey under her chin. But still is the BEST Min Pin ever. Awesome disposition.
Everyone still admires her looks and she LOVES every minute of it. Ms. Queen as we call her!!!
I have a couple rescues, You can just see the difference in their appearance & temperament compared to Izzi.
But, not one compares in any way to Izzi. That's the difference between a backyard money making person and a reputable breeder like you.
OK...hope all is well. One day I will get that chocolate male from you!!!
Regards
Linda and Izzi

9/26/10 Bengal Cat, MN
Marj -We love our kitten. He's perfect.
I named him Teges (TEE-jes), but we also call him Teeg or Mr. T. He's friendly, sociable - everything we wanted in a cat. He's doing very well on a raw diet and enjoys eating his food very much. He's eaten turkey necks and gizzards, some liver, turkey wings and some fish Ken caught the other day. Our kitty has worked out well! He and Gus can and are in the same room without problems. He has remained the same friendly, affectionate boy you knew. By the way, he is thriving on his diet of fresh chicken/turkey. You can pet him while he is eating and he purrs while he's chewing. We'd be happy to recommend your cats to other people. You were honest in the way you represented them and that means a lot to us. Thanks again! Thank you for breeding such a nice cat.

06/18/2009 Bengal Cat ( Minnesota)

Marj

Thanks again for everything and making the time to chat with me at length on the phone as we are first time Bengal owners. Ours is exactly as you described him. What you were saying makes sense � that kittens need to be handled daily since day one so they�re used to people. This guy doesn�t have any of the wild temperament that I�ve sometimes read about with Bengals. He LOVES people. He is very trusting and is quite content watching tv with us on the couch. You kept his nails nice and short and we�re doing the same. So far (knock on wood), we haven�t had any problems with things getting destroyed. I�ve wanted a Bengal for a long time. So glad we finally got one. Love the �wow� factor too when people drop by to see him

If we end up getting him a buddy we�ll be looking you up again.

Thanks! Clint

06/20/2009 Bengal Cat ( Minnesota)

Marj,
You'll be happy to hear that the little guy did very good in the car, and getting used to my dog, and house. I locked him in a room for the past 2 nights, and he did good with that too. Today will be the first long day, as we are both back at work, so we'll see how he responds to that. He seems very happy, and has been very playful! He also has a very good appetite, and ate as soon as I got him home on Sat! My husband just loves him as much as I do, and was very happy with my choice!
Thank you again! Cindi Busse.

04/22/10 Maltese ( Massachusetts)
We are doing very well. We love him so much and can't thank you enough. God is good to me and Simon is certainly a gift from God's creation. He still has a few problems remembering where to go to the bathroom but with the better weather he is getting the drift of going outside. He weighs 5 lbs. and every bit is filled with love.
Take care. Jane

01/20/10 Shiba Inu ( Paris, France)

Hello Marj,
The pup as arrived on schedule. It didn�t get time to get bored waiting. Vets and Pet handlers took well care of him during the hour of paper work with customs and fret reception. Within one hour from landing time the pup was walking on leash with my wife. He was happy, not bothered by the flight at all. He is now, heading south on a road trip with my wife, back home (in the Alps at St Bonnet de Chavagne). He should be there by the time you take your morning coffee Anyway, thanks for all your help in sending us such a beautiful male for our breeding program here in Paris. Best; Ivan

01/18/10 Min Pin ( North Carolina)
Marj, We now are living in North Carolina.
Which by the way my min pins love. It's a lot warmer. I also wanted to
tell you what great quality of a dog she is. We named her Bella Blue.
She is about 7 pounds. She is so loving, and much calmer than my other
dogs. I'm very impressed with the quality of her coat, temperament, health and quality.
Thanks again! Michelle

04/8/10 Shiba Inu ( Alabama)
She is the most enchanting little Miniature Pinscher.. and has all of us...plus everyone she meets....wrapped around her little paw! You did a wonderful job socializing her!
She is happy to everyone she meets.... human & animals. She arrived in excellent health and not scared at all, she came out of her crate happy to meet us and ready to make herself at home. Please keep breeding Miniature Pinschers ..... Phoebe is, in our opinion , is living proof that your breeding program is well thought out...... our vet even said that we had gotten ourselves a "Good One" We have no doubt we will be purchasing another Min Pin from you in the future.
Marj....
You have two more satisfied customers, and super happy owners, of one of your Miniature Pinschers here in Alabama and we are more than willing to tell anyone, and everyone where we got our precious "Phoebe"
Sincerely, Sandra & Roger Alvison, Elmo & Phoebe too!

Marj, Pete had a great trip home with "Willow". What a beautiful beautiful kitten she is! Her markings (marble) are going to only grow to be more and more beautiful every day. She curled up on the seat in the pickup next to our labs all the way home. She is incredibly soft and cuddly....and tame! She absolutely loves Samantha! She follows her throughout the house, crawls on her lap, just like a lap dog. She has had no accidents, adjusted right away to the litter box and new home. We can't believe how well she gets along with our two grown labs and other cat, they act like they are best of friends. This is only a testament to all the handling she got before she came to our house. She is so playful, and we spend hours just watching her learn new tricks. Samantha has already taught her to fetch and sit! Thank you!!! Pete, Connie & Samantha
