Here are some pictures of our gorgeous golden. Some are from days after we picked her up, and some are more recent.

We just call her Deja, but her full AKC name is Winkelman's Heavenly Deja Vu. I hope you can see her "angel wings" on her back. She's just absolutely awesome, and we love her so much. She's so smart, so beautiful, and has really made us both very happy

Winkelman's Heavenly Deja Vu

Hi Daisy,
Just wanted to let you know my puppy is doing great! I have named her Charlie Foxtrot. She has had all of her shots and now enjoys walks and coming to work with me. She has a great personality - very sweet and silly and not afraid of anything except loud noises. Her adult fur is coming in curly, and it seems like she will be a smaller-sized golden, exactly what I wanted! Attached are some photos.

Thanks so much and happy New Year!
Jenny

Good morning!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you again for working with us in buying a puppy! We couldn't be happier with her! She is SO intelligent and sweet....we named her California May...Cali for short! :0)

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Heather Willand

PS- Some picks of Cali May- she's growing so quickly!

one of Cali's favorite things to do- wrestle with the ball in the backyard

Hi Daisy,

We wanted to send you some pictures of Sadie from your 6-26-09 litter. She is doing extremely well since we brought her home.

Enjoy the pictures and know that she is an amazing puppy!

Hi Daisy,

Hope your holiday's were wonderful! Wanted to share a few updated pictures of Sadie with you and your family.

She is doing so well. At 6 months she is about 35 pounds and healthy as can be. She loves all types of weather, but snow seems to be her favorite. We got about 18 inches in one day and she had a blast!

Sadie enjoys running outside in the backyard or at the off leash dog park. She has made tons of new friends at doggy daycare and will be starting some classes soon. Overall, her temperment is great and she is such a joy to have as a member of our family. Rich may start working with her on pheasant hunting. She will love it!

Take care!

Hi Daisy,

Here is an update of our golden retriever pup that we got from you in September. We named him Bo. He is a sweet little boy and growing so big. He has a great personality and is very trainable.

I’ve attached some picks. He’s getting very red and curly.

Thanks,
Megan

I just I'd give you an update on Brandy. My husband loves her (we both do), and she goes to work with him everyday. Everybody she meets, just want to hold her, and says how beautiful she is. She loves our other dogs too. Especially the weimeriner, Remington. She follows him everywhere. She really loves the snow, she runs around, making a path with her nose, and rolls around. We enjoy having her so much.

Everytime my dad calls me from Chicago, he asks if we want to give her back, because he would take her. She just melted his heart.

I'm sending you a few pictures of her.

Take care,
Michelle Zeek

Hello Daisy, how are you doing? I hope all is well. I am always looking at your web site to look at the new pups.This is our boy Miller. He is such a good puppy. We could not be more happy. He is such a playful little guy. Him and Harley are the best of friends. Thanks so much Daisy for the great addition to our family. In these pics he is 5 months old and doing so well. Harley is such a big brother to him, watching every step he makes. You can already tell Harley will never let anything ever happen to this little guy as long as he is around.

Hi! I just watched to let you know that Dakota is doing great. She is already huge and incredibly beautiful and clumsy. She gets comments all of the time on her beautiful color and face. She learned sit in the first week we had her and is just incredibly smart in general. She gets to go to the dog park everyday and plays with every type of dog from teacup dogs to great danes (which is hilarious). She is so lovable, out going, and loyal. We will send you pictures soon. Thank you for the puppy!

Hi,

I just wanted to give you an update on Evee. She has conformed to becoming a princess very well!! If it's warmer than 80 outside she won't go out for very long, unless she is swimming with Rob in the pool. We have started to train her to hunt and she loves it!! She met her first toad the other day and snatched it up before I could get to it and she soon realized the wrath of a toad!! ;)
She has brought so much joy not just to us but our friends and family!! She is very sweet and very smart!! She has become the team mascot for both of the boys baseball teams.
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to have her!!

Hi Daisy! I just wanted to send you an update so you could see how Atticus (from Bear and Jake’s late Dec litter) is doing now that he’s a little over five months old. He is such a sweet boy, he’s my little buddy. He’s tons of energy, he runs like the wind and he’s obsessed with soccer balls. He is sometimes naughty but he gets a little less naughty every day. He is just the world to me and I love him to pieces. And now that he’s grown out of the super nippy phase my daughter loves him more and more too. She was his chew toy for a while but we’ve grown past that now. ;) If you ever need a reference by all means feel free to let me know. He’s so smart that every day he does something that amazes me. I hope I don’t jam up your email box with so many pics at once. Feel free to use any of them on your site if you want. He’s my little super model. J

Best Wishes,

Jamie Wilson

Daisy,

Jack and I are living large in Nevada. He has been extraordinarily easy to train and always goading me to play after I come home. I love this little guy and wouldn’t trade him for the world! Ive attached some pictures of Jack. Enjoy!

Thanks,

From the moment Harley walked through our front door, he's been a key part of our busy family. With three kids, we needed an athletic dog who could keep up with us, and after much research, we settled on the GSP. I found pics of Winkelmans dogs on the web, and I found "Harley".
Since adding him to our family, he's been everything we could have asked for and more. He's handsome, intelligent, up for a swim, a run, a hike or a ride in the car (with the top down). In short, he's amazing. When we add our next GSP, Winkelmans will be our choice. Thanks, Daisy!!!

Daisy,

Thank you very much for boomer my dog that I purchased from you over the summer. He is such a great dog that loves water and retrieving. 2 weeks after I took him home boomer broke his leg falling off the deck... The vet gave me two options have the surgery or wait it out. I let him wait it out 3 wk's after he was fully recovered it was the fastest healing leg they have ever seen. Thank you for the wonderful dog.

Hi, Daisy! Just wanted to let you know that Rosie has been the best little puppy. She just loves people and has left an impression on many. Rosie has caught on quickly to training... the girl will do anything for a tennis ball. She looks forward to playing at the dog park, going on three miles runs (although she is quite capable of going even further), and visiting her pals at doggie day care. After the loss of my German Shepherd I didn't think it was possible to love another dog as much, but Rosie has been the sweetest little pup that I had no trouble falling in love all over again. Thank you again for being such a thorough breeder who prepares the dogs long before they are handed over to their new families. Here are a few pics of Rosie...

Thanks again!

Daisy,
I just thought I'd share a few pictures of our dog we bought from you in May of '08. His name is Hogan and he was the runt of his litter. He has been a tremendous bird dog and member of our family. He is the most loyal dog i have ever seen and is truly my best buddy. The pictures were taken in early December at a hunting preserve in Wisconsin. One is of Hogan and my brothers Drahthaar and the other is of me and Hogan.

Happy Holidays,
Nathan

How are you guys?

This is Aaron Bunch, I bought a Pointer from you last year, around Sep 1st I think?? Oh well, sorry it took me so long to send pictures, but here's some very recent ones from today.

I named him simply Max, I still haven't registered him AKC yet I've been procrastinating but I will!

My wife and I absolutely love him, he's the best dog I've ever owned. I haven't been running with him too much, since he is still growing but I do run with him and no matter how far we go he wants to keep going, we've even hiked mountains around KY together, up to 15 miles! He's a beast. His temperment is great, not aggressive but very confident and strong. He never backs down to other dogs at the park, not even Mastiffs, and Great Danes he's the boss =)

I think he's a dead ringer for coco he looks just like her, but with his sire's head. He kept his white chest, but otherwise is perfectly liver. He is coming up on 8 months and weighs about 60lbs

Sincerely,

Aaron and Aeriel Bunch

Up date 5/12/10

How's everything going? I referred my brother in law to you guys he wants to get a GSP. He is very interested. We went hiking today 14 miles, I'm attaching two pics of us with Max, who is definitely the fastest dog I've ever owned! Take it easy and always keep us in mind for breeding.

Sincerely,
Aaron Bunch

Hey Daisy

It's Jason Hamburg. Just thought I'd let you know that Tucker ran in a Navhda Natural Ability test today. It was obviously his first test but also my first time handling. Overall he did very well. We scored a 96 outta 112. The only major issue we had came during the water portion of the test. Unfortunately I couldn't get him to go in the after the bumpers so we had to use dead birds. Good news is that he went right in after the birds. That resulted in a 10 point deduction otherwise we woulda scored 106! Just thought you may want to know. Hope all is well.

Daisy,

First and foremost, thank you so much for the opportunity to purchase a GSP from you. We could not have asked for more from you. Rebel is doing absolutely amazing in all his training and growing. We cannot
believe how fast he's growing. At six monthes he already ways 52lbs. From the pictures I think you will see he resembles his dad Max. He loves to swim and run for anything we throw his way. Truly a great retriever already. Here are some pictures.

Thanks again for amazing GSP,
Dustin and Kara

Hi Daisy,

Just wanted to quick send you an update on Bella. She is getting so BIG! We have been busy around here. The end of the school year is always so hectic for me! Our daughter graduated a few weeks ago and now we are planning her party. So the rest of family and friends can finally meet our Bella. She is doing good. She loves going for walks and playing with our son's 2 dogs. I'm looking forward to spending the summer with her as I'm off from School. She already is enjoying us being home 24/7!!

She has brought us so much joy already! WE love her!

Talk to you soon,
Michele

Bella

Daisy,

I bought a female Brittany on Sept. 25th. She is doing great. She is really a smart dog. Seemed housebroke from day one. Swimming came so naturally. She is already retriving. Endless energy. I am really happy.

Thanks,

Daisy,

I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our new pup. Jack is doing great and he is having a blast with his new best friend Lacey. He does show good instincts and it's been a lot of fun hiding pheasant wings in the yard and watching them sniff them out. We think he is part gopher because he loves to squeeze under or through any tight spot he can find. If anyone is looking for a Brittany or any other of the bird dogs you sell I would highly recommend you and your dogs. Winkleman's Gun Dogs is a top notch breeder with quality dogs.

Thanks again
Fred Sundstedt

4/25/10 Update

Hi Daisy,

It's been a while since you got a Jack (Tank) update. He's doing great. Here are few pictures. As you can see he still loves water, whether its straight from the fridge or in the form of mud. And he has also figured out how to keep an eye on the cat through the pet door. He and Lacey are still having a great time playing together. Thanks again.

Fred

Hi Daisy,

Just e-mailing to tell you that we could not be happier with our new puppy! He is extremely intelligent ,loving, and playful. He is by far (no offense to our other dog!) the smartest dog we have ever had. We have only had him for two weeks but he catches on to commands remarkably fast. I am always working on new ways to challenge him. So far Charlie has learned"come" (with a single hand clap), "sit" (I put my hand at an angle while I say this), "up" (my hands arched), lay "down" (right hand pat on the floor), "shake" (my right hand held out flat), kiss" (I make a kiss noise w/the word and he will give a single kiss), and of course "no bite" which all puppies do! For this I hold two fingers on my right hand up. It is awesome that he recognizes the hand signals, that way the kids can do them too, and he listens! We are currently working on stay which he is doing great with. I would say he is about 95% potty trained, accidents are very few and far between, he typically goes to the door and whines. All of this in only two weeks! He has all of those commands down consistently w/o any confusion. He learns so fast and seems to truly enjoy being challenge. He is also great so far about staying on the property, I just say "yard". At first he liked to explore but our other dog has been great about being an example to him for this. Once he is a little older we will start him on some hunting exercises. He has an amazing nose on him and tracks meat like it is nothing! We hope you continue breeding dogs for a long time to come. The quality in how you raise your dogs is excellent and we will definitely be recommending you and hopefully purchasing our next dog from you when we feel the time is right. I have attached a picture of Charlie with our other dog and the kids (whom he loves!)

Hi Daisy -

We purchased a Brittany from you in July, 2011 and wanted to let you know that she is an amazing pet/companion. We often think she was already trained prior to us picking her up at 8 weeks old.

Her natural instict was apparent from the first day we had her at home. When outside she will give you everything she has for as long as needed. The vet calls her the 'tank' because of her muscle structure and ability to get in and out of the thick stuff where the birds hide. When done working in the field and back inside the house all she wants is to be close to those around her. I believe you told us we were getting the hunter side of dad and lover side of mom - you were exactly correct on both.

Our only regret at this point is that we waited this long to purchase a Brittany from you ~

Thanks Daisy!

Bell is a very spunky girl....not intimidated by the big dogs at all!!! I have to watch them all because she likes to chew on them and her teeth are like little needles. She is doing fabulous and we are thrilled with her (only we are tired...haha!)
For the most part, she is going potty outside and is able to wait a couple hours before she needs to go out again. (your puppy door was a great start!!) She loves to play fetch and by watching the other dogs, (she eats right next to them) she whoa's for her food. She is SMART!!!

I'll pass your kiss on to Bell and hope you have a wonderful day!

Belle is lean, tall, and strong....vet thinks she amazingly healthy and she calls her our athlete. We picked up some birds last week and again this week and on Valentine's day morning, she pointed for Steve...yay!! He's thrilled!

We have a long way to go still but it's a start!

Hi Daisy,

I've been wanting to update you on the English Pointer we got from you last summer. We named her Maude and she is every bit as sassy as the TV character we named her after. She is an energetic girl, but very smart and took to potty training almost immediately. We don't use her for hunting (much to her dismay), but she does point out every bird and rabbit in our yard as well as our cat. She is incredibly social and loves people and other dogs. When people ask which dog is ours at the dog park we point out the white blur running around chasing other dogs. We've gotten a lot of confused looks by people when we tell them we have an English Pointer as a house dog, but we wouldn't trade her for the world.

Thanks for a great dog!

Dear Daisy,

I have meant to contact you much earlier.  Couldn't resist after this morning and being out with Maggie and catching this point on camera.  She has added so much to our lives and is loved by all.  We now wonder what we would do without her. We wanted to do a testimonial but didn't know how to leave pictures.

Maggie continues to be an outside dog, except when the weather was bad this winter.  Katie our daughter had a horrible car accident (pelvic and spinal fractures) 2 weeks ago with the freezing rain and Maggie is her companion now.  She comes in with Kate and then wants to go back outside.  It is amazing that Maggie knows to be gentle with Kate. She is so smart and beautiful.  We constantly get comments on how beautiful her face and body are.

Thank you for working with us when we wanted a puppy.  We may get another soon.

Gregg, Terri, and Katie O'Brien

Dear Daisy,

You might not remember everyone who purchases dogs from you, but I will always be a loyal customer.  We purchased an english pointer from you I think it was July or August 2011.  Her name is Kia and she's only about 6mo old.  Well let me tell you she is one of the best pheasant dogs.  Especially for being so young.  When my husband goes hunting he's not out in the field too long because Kia gets him his limit in about 15 minutes when other hunters and dogs are out for a few hours.  It was pouring last week when my husband and Kia went hunting and no one was getting any birds, but Kia and my husband were done in less than 30 minutes in the pouring rain. I just wanted to say thanks.

Daisy, let me start by saying we couldn't be happier with Max. I have hunted him numerous times this season and he is doing a fantastic job. Last Saturday, while hunting a pine land in SC he sailed past a huge old pine tree and spun around and pointed flat on the ground in a semi crouched position. When the single flushed, Max sprung into the air and caught him about 4 feet off the ground! He is part of our family, sleeps curled up by our bed in "his chair" and has been a real joy. Sallie, my bride, refers to him as a "lover", as all he wants to do when he is inside is be patted. He is listening real well, always comes when called, works real close, checks back and finds tons of birds. Please give my best to Joe.
