Hi Gina,
Just wanted to send you a new pic of stella. She's doing great. Im convinced she's the greatest dog on the planet. So loving, calm and happy. She loves everyone, barely ever barks, loves her puppy class and makes the cutest snoring sound when she wants a treat. She does not chew my furniture at all. She really is great. Hope all your puppies are doing well.

"Koda"
Dear Frank and Gina,
This week is Koda’s first birthday. When we started looking for a new member of our family I thought it was going to be an impossible task. We wanted a dog that would be loyal, loving, well mannered and intelligent. A dog that would be a pleasure to have around the house, but a couch potato just wouldn’t do! We also needed a dog that could hunt!
He needed to have a high energy level, be powerful enough to break through icy water and swim over 100 yards with a 20+ lbs. goose in his mouth in the middle of winter. He needed drive, he had to be confident and outgoing and psychologically sound to overcome the many challenging situations he would face in the field.
And lastly, we wanted a dog that looked true to the breeds standards. He couldn’t be too big, and he couldn’t
be to small, he needed a thick coat and powerful muscles. In
short, we needed the perfect Labrador Retriever. A dog that was bred to be exactly what it was intended for.
We looked at breeders all over the country. There are hundreds of hunting dog breeders in the country, most breed over-hyper dogs that barely resemble a Labrador Retriever at all. Their coats are to short, and they just aren't built for the harsh winters up here. The others breed Labs for the couch. Often weighing in at over 120lbs. and so far removed from what a lab was intended to do.
When we found GaetaCreek I thought it was too good to be true. Beautiful, Well bred dogs right around the corner? When we saw Koda , we had to have him !!!
To date, Koda has already retrieved over two dozen ducks and geese and he is a loving member of our family. He could, without question, go straight from the icy waters of the Peconic Bay and without a doubt hold his own at any show in the country and at the end of the day snuggle up with us on the couch and be a perfect gentleman.
He is a joy to have !!! Koda is exactly what a Labrador Retriever was intended to be !!! Well Done !!
Thank You so much !
Love
The Villafranca Family

Hi Gina, This is Durrell Smith and Lisa. We are the folks who got the privilege to adopt cole (in his former life, known as Cash)!!! We just celebrated his 2 yr old birthday!! He is a joy! We have been meaning to send along pictures of him. He is such a great dog with a great personality. Everyone who sees he thinks he is sooo handsome!! He loves to hang out with "his peeps"!!!!! We bring him to a local lake alot! He has such a great mild-mannered personality! A friend of ours wanted me to inquire to see if you had or may have in the near future another young lab available to be placed?? I am going to try to forward some pictures as well. I'm not real computer savvy, so not sure if it will work or not!! Hope all is well with you and Frank! We love Cole!!!!

Hi Gina just wanted to give you a Lucy update. It is official..she is the greatest dog in the world. Everytime we walk her, we get stopped, people can't get over her, we have a trainer coming to the house and even he said she is an incredible lab, he gave compliments to the breeder. She is getting big, and is learning so much. We couldn't have gotten a better dog anywhere...We took her to Massachusetts with us for three days, and she had a ball. Hope all is good with you. Lucy says hi!

This is an email
sent from a family who owning on of our dogs:
"Hello Gina &
Frank....Sorry it's taken us so long to send you a
report on our puppy "Sweetie Pie". Been so busy
these days...adjusting our lifestyle so to
speak...Sweetie is just wonderful. She is
everything you said she would be and so much more.
We are hard in love. Very smart....uses the dog
door and goes about her business out in the woods behind
our home. So, we feel she is just about house
broken. And growing before our eyes....she likes
to crawl under the coffee table and sleep. But,
I'm afraid she might grow while sleeping under there and
not be able to get out....LOL. She's almost 20
pounds now...and only 12 weeks old. And loves the
water...cannot keep her out. She is very calm for
a pup...lovers other dogs and everyone she comes in
contact with. She has a great disposition.
She's been sleeping through the night (10PM until
6:30AM) since almost day one...amazing. You folks
breed a wonderful lab. Our vet thinks she is
special and so do we. Thanks again for the
wonderful dog......Bill & Cheryl Odell.
P.S. - Photo taken
3 weeks ago...she is twice the size now...LOL...and boy
can she eat!!!!
Sweetie Pie Update:
dear
frank & gina: well sweetie pie is now into her 14th
month and as you can see from the photo, she is all
lab.. weight is about 76 lbs with a huge chest..we
cannot keep her out of the water. she love our boats and
is always ready for a day of adventuring ..and she sure
loves florida when we go down to our house for the
winter..the heat does not seem to bother her..and she
has the pool to swim in.. she loves all dogs down at the
dog beach and can swim for hours and hours.. we are
always getting comments on how beautiful she is and what
a well trained dog. her manners are the best,, we can
take her anywhere off the leash and she will mind and
heel without a question..which all means that you guys
sure do breed some smart good looking dogs..she means
the world to us and we are so happy that she is ours and
we found you guys who breed wonderful dogs.. thanks
again and we will always keep you updated..bill & cheryl

"With Gina Gaeta, from Gaeta Creek Kennels, we were able to
adopt "Bentley". "Bentley" is a healthy, loving, and mild two
year yellow Labrador. "Bentley" has become a companion to the
entire family, but most of all to my youngest son. The two are
inseparable. He is so well behaved, that we receive comments all
the time. I can never thank Gina enough for "Bentley" . I would
not hesitate in recommending Gina and Gaeta Creek Kennels."

"Sonny" Hi
Gina....I hope you are well! I just wanted to drop a line
and keep you updated on Sonny! He is so amazing. We are so in
love with him. He really is an amazing puppy. Thank you so much.
You and Frank obviously breed truly amazing dogs.
He is very healthy and is growing every day! On his first visit
to the vet (2 days after I picked him up), he weighed 15 pounds.
We took him for hi second visit this past Friday and he had
grown to 21.8 pounds! He has such an amazing personality and
such a loving demeanor. He is so well-behaved for such a young
puppy! It is amazing how well he listens to us and how easy he
has been to train. All of our friends and family who have met
him can’t believe what a smart little puppy he is! He is the
star of the family! Haha! We get so many comments on how
gorgeous he is, as well. He really is a beautiful lab. He is
still quite the mush and loves to snuggle with us and relax. He
definitely loves his toys, too, though and loves to play.
We could not be happier with him, Gina. I cannot thank you
enough for this amazing addition to our family. We love him so
much......Thanks, Gina! |

"Gialla"
Hi Gina,
Please forgive me for not
e-mailing sooner. Hope all is well with you. Gialla is
growing quickly, and we adore her. Sometimes, I think I am
a little too attached to her. She is very lovable, and
seems to welcome all of our hugs and kisses. She does love
to eat everything even what she is not supposed to. We
have some chewed woodwork, furniture, wallpaper. We
will just wait until she is completely out of that habit
before we fix anything. She loves everyone and every dog
she meets. She attended puppy kindergarten and especially
enjoyed playtime and all the treats. I must tell you that
anyone that sees her always says what a beautiful puppy she
is. We have told many people about you and how wonderful
you were. Needless to say, I still do not know how to send
you pictures. I am sorry, and I will get the children to do
that soon. Take care.
Love,
Jo Ann

"Kobe"
He is an absolute
joy and he was the perfect fit for our family! He is spoiled
and well loved. He has a fantastic disposition and he has been
a relatively calm puppy. Hes energetic when he wants to be and
calm most of the time. Hes got such a great personality. Our
Vet can't say enough about how beautiful he is and how he well
he was bred. Thanks again!

"Sienna"
I have been meaning to
send this e-mail for the last three mouths and the cold, rainy
weather finally gave me the opportunity Ineeded! Sienna is
wonderful! She will be 8 months old tomorrow, and quite
honestly, is like more like a mature dog than a pup. She does
have her totally crazy moments but is absolutely sweet and well
behaved 99.9% of the time! I’m sending along some photos. You
may recall my mentioning, we have two cats; one who has adjusted
and has become Sienna’s best bud, and the other…still coming
around. Frank was concerned that Sienna had never seen a cat –
but she is so sweet and so gentle…wagging her tail; and nuzzling
all the way! She wants to play with them like she did her litter
mates though, so that’s when things get very interesting! |

Hey Gina, just wanted to
drop you a quick Hello and say thank you so much for such a
wonderful puppy. You were right, he is so smart and is such a
good boy. He loves to play and loves to sleep (he has woken me
up from his snoring at times). I do have to keep an eye out for
the neighbors because they all want to steal him. They have all
offered to watch him while I am at work and I have met more
people in my development because of the little guy. Everyone
says he's so beutiful and such a mellow puppy. They all think
he looks like the puppy on some flea collar commercial. I will
keep you updated and will send you some pictures.
Thanks again Brian..... |

"Tiki"
Hi Gina,
Just wanted to say hi and give you an update on Tiki. She is
wonderful. I could not ask for a better pup. Happy, sweet,
playful, loving and outgoing. When I take her out for a walk she
wants to meet EVERYONE, people, dogs, cats, squirrels, bugs, you
name it. If someone passes by without stopping and saying hi to
her she truly is disappointed...She is soooo friendly. We
nicknamed her "Crash"....because she has fun, plays for like 20
minutes and then crash to sleep for like a hour or two. She has
become "best friends" with a Dachshund across the street from
us. My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE her, our cats, ummm, not so much.
Tiki is very loyal and attached to me, always at my feet with a
lick or two at my toes.
She comes to the bay beach with us at least a few times a week.
Photo attached is from today. She loves it all, sand, salt,
seaweed, clam shells. Thank you, thank you for an exceptional
dog. With her friendly nature I am going to start Puppy
Kindergarten in Sept at Doggie U in hopes that she can become a
therapy dog.I will keep you informed.
Best to you and Frank.

"Hurricane"
Hi Gina...As Hurricane approaches her official 6-month birthday,
I just wanted to pass along an update and some photos.Although
still a rambunctious puppy and a very free spirit, Hurricane is
the biggest moosh of a lab I have ever met. She's a 45-pound (so
far!) lap dog who likes nothing more than taking a snooze while
lying on top of her people. She's also a real lover who gives
kisses freely to everyone she meets. Every person who meets her
is simply blown away by how affectionate and beautiful she is.
I do have to say that I was surprised and impressed by
Hurricane's smarts. She was completely housebroken within 3
weeks and learned all basic commands by the time she was 4
months old. She's been a joy to train. She's really remarkable
dog and a wonderful addition to our family. Our son Jack simply
adores her.Hope your well and that you have a very Happy New
Year.
All the best,
Chris |

"Murphy"
Hi Gina,
I apologize for not writing sooner. I don’t even know where
to start, so I will start with a quote from my mom “I think
he is the smartest dog I have ever met and so handsome too”
He is giving the entire family so much joy, always puts a
smile on everyone’s face every time they see him. He watches
TV with Russ and I, he loves watching the Dog Whisperer.
Russ works with him every day and it is amazing how fast
he learns. We get the same reaction every time someone new
meets Murphy, he is “so beautiful”. My nieces and nephews
absolutely adore him and he is so good with kids. He has
been the talk of the family since the day I brought him
home...... my parents ask everyday “how is my grandson?”
It’s amazing how a puppy can brighten so many people’s
lives. We absolutely love and adore him. I feel so blessed
to have been able to adopt him when I did for Russ’
birthday. I don’t know how to thank you and Frank for
having such well tempered and beautiful puppies.
I hope the family is well. Will keep in touch and send more
pictures.
Love,
Diane
