LETTERS ABOUT OUR BABIES
Mindy, Mike, and Jessica,
I wanted to take the time to thank you for all your help and advice with our new baby "Monkey". I will refer anyone who is looking for a pekingese to seminole ranch. I enjoyed picking out my puppy and visiting with the ladies and men of Seminole Ranch. Mindy you have been a wealth of knowledge. I love how all the dogs have their individual personalities and our members of your family. I believe that is why your puppies are so sweet and well adjusted. I have looked into alot of breeders before getting our "Monkey" and you were by far the best. Nobody knows Pekingese like Seminole Ranch. I hope you continue to have the upmost success. I also never thought that I would fall in love with your Bearded Dragons. I can't wait until your baby beardies hatch. My boys are looking so forward to getting there dragons. I will tell everyone I know about your Bearded Dragons. Good luck and we will see ya when your dragons hatch.
Thanks again,

Dear Mindy,
I want to thank you for letting me take care of Stacie's Peke that had been in your care since Stacie's death. My husband picked her up and came home raving about your beautiful dogs and how you let them have the run of the place. Not like most who keep their dogs penned up all the time and just use them for breeding. As for the Peke that he brought home........WOW! Well adjusted, really healthy and her coat is just gorgeous. I know that you've helped other people sell their puppies and/or dogs on occasion (like in the death of our dear friend Stacie) and I know that you take risks in doing so. I also know that you minimize those risks and take extra precautions with all the dogs. Upon your suggestion, I used your vet about a month ago. He did nothing but rave about the quality of your dogs. Anyone would be proud to say that they had a Pekingese from Mindy at Seminole Ranch!

I purchased a puppy from Seminole Ranch and I just couldn't be happier with him. My first contact with Mindy Sims (owner of Seminole Ranch) was when my husband and I visited her home to pick out our puppy from one of two new litters in October of 2006. All of her PETS (meaning all but the new babies who are in their own nursery room) had free run of her home ( NO kennels here). I was immediately impressed that although she was out in a country setting, there was not one flea to be found amongst all the dogs - and no evidence that there might have been any ever !!!!! We went to pick up our pup in November when he was 8 weeks old. Again, I found a beautifully well-kept home where all the dogs were free to play and sleep wherever. Quite honesty, I have NEVER seen 8 grown dogs and pups that got along so well together. I can only think that it must be due to the love and care that they are all given. Each dog had quite a unique personality, and they obviously had a special place in their owner's heart. We took our dog, Mango, to our vet the first week we had him. We received an absolutely glowing report as to his condition. The vet also remarked that he wished that all the pure-bred pups he saw from other breeders were in such great shape. Mango is now 6 months old. He remains as happy and healthy as the day we brought him home. We have had Pekingese dogs in the past, but none ever had as good a disposition as Mango does (though I loved them all). I would highly recommend Seminole Ranch puppies to anyone who is looking for a wonderfully cared-for and well-nutured animal to add to their family. My search for a great Peke would end here.........I personally think you won't find any better. Please feel free to call me if you'd like any further information. I'd be more than happy to provide you with my vet's name and phone number if you'd also like to speak with him.

As a breeder myself, I have know Mrs. Sims for several years and can say she is very upmost dedicated caring breeder. We have spoken and met on many occasions, traded opinions, asked advice, and used each other for emotional support during this time. She certainly has done her research on this breed and continues to keep updated. She truly cares about all her Pekingese, both young and old. I have witnessed first hand, the love and care she has for them, they are always her pets first. She will sit up all night waiting on a litter, assisting the new mother's, helping with the puppies, & if some unforeseen problem may arise, will be up all night long trying to help and make everything thing in her power to make the situation a good one. To me, you can not find a better breeder than this. She has some of the most spoiled rotten dogs, and beautiful healthy puppies. I would most certainly recommend her, and promise you that you will not be disappointed.

Dear Mindy, Mike and Jessica,
I just want to tell you how much I love my "Seminole Ranch" puppies. My two, Goose and Wilbur are beautiful with exceptional, though different, temperaments. Goose is the lover and I attribute that to the personal attention he received from Jessica. Wilbur is also a sweetie, everyone comments on how pretty he is and he loves everyone. But I think the biggest success has been Killer, the puppy I bought from you for my sister Jacki. They absolutely love him and, of course, is very smart. Jacki says that every time they take him to the vet for routine visits the vet always comments on what a sound dog he is and how unusual his brindle coloring is. This man has been my family's vet for many years and has taken care of all the family dogs so I think that is quite a compliment. And need I mention my friend Janet, who has two of your puppies, one of which is a full brother to Wilbur. Hopefully soon I can send you a new picture of Wilbur. . I am always telling people where they came from so don't be surprised if you hear from some of my friends.
Love,

I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how much I love my babies that I have gotten from you. I have always had Llaso apsos and was never interested in pekes. When my friend Ruth and I visited your home and saw first hand the type of breeder you are, we were very impressed. You treat your dogs like they are members of your family and not just a profession to make money. I appreciate the fact that you breed pekes because you love them all as if they will always be yours. As you know my first peke was Allie, and she is a wonderful and healthy little girl. She is so so sweet. She is treated very well (spoiled is the real word) in my home because we treat her like she is part of our family and should be treated as such. Now I have Izzie who is the sweetest little thing. Don't get me wrong she won't let Allie run all over her just because Allie is bigger, she really takes up for herself. I love the way you socialize the puppies before they leave your home; I think that is a very important factor when they leave their nest (yours) and go to a new home. It really helps them not to be shy and introverted. I think my limit of puppies is two but if I should decide to get another baby it will definitely be from you (even though Ruth and I get lost every time we come to your house)!

Mindy:
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much fun we are having with Killer. I have never had a dog with such a personality in my life. He is never still and yet when hedecides to sleep, he just drops and it looks like a multi-colored dust mop laying on the floor. He has learned to play hide-and-seek with my husband Jim. I don’t know who gets a bigger kick out of it. He has beenneutered now, so we have a happierhousehold. I am trying to take a photo that will really show you his coloring now that he is getting larger. The brindle really is obvious. WhenRuth was here she could not believe the coloring or his outgoing personality. Compared to Killer, hers are so docile. Not my baby, he loves to play and figures anyone who comesthrough the door is his.
Thanks for the wonderful baby that even my vet wants to take over.

I have bought two beautiful,healthy puppies from this couple. I have also had the opportunity to visit their home and see all of the dogs that they own. They are all cared for with much love. I have seen litters of new puppies and how they also have been cared for. This couple has a great love for this breed and all of the dogs are treated like family. I have had no problems with my puppies except that they are very spoiled. I would highly recommend Mindy to anyone who wants the joy of owning one of these little ones. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at bev.mike@suddenlink.net and I will be happy to answer them. On a health note they have a wonderful vet which I contacted before I ever met Mindy and there was only praise from the vet about how well these dogs were cared for.
Thanks,
Bev Cordier
