Godzilla
September 2010

Originally a Southern California girl, Godzilla was rescued from a shelter in Redlands, California when she was 2 months old. Now age 7, this Yellow Labrador mix's love for people matches her love of treats. She relocated with her proud parents to Northern California in 2007 and has loved the cool weather. She enjoys lounging around on her sofa and playing catch in the backyard. Godzilla is incredibly loving and has the ability to put a smile on anyone's face. She loves everyone at Classy Canine and although we no longer live in the area - we will remain loyal to Godzilla's favorite groomers. We are lucky to have such a wonderful dog as a member of our family.

Rocco
June 2009

This is Rocco. He is our 4 year old yellow lab. Rocco loves playing tug-a-war with his rope. He’ll give you a hi-5 any time you ask. Rocco is a good watch dog….he barks at anyone that walks by our house. He enjoys going on longs walks and just lounging around the house. His only job is to fetch the newspaper every morning. Thanks Toni and staff for doing such a good job at grooming Rocco. We appreciate all your tlc.

Punkin
May 2009

This is Punkin, she is a 6 years old long hair Chihuahua. She lives in Castro Valley with her Mom and Dad and two feline brothers. Punkin is a lovable lil girl. She loves nothing better than to go for a car ride in her Daddy’s arms. She loves to fetch and snuggle under the covers when she sleeps. When we come home at night she greets us with treat we gave her in the morning. After she gets groomed she is sassy all day "Like look at me, I'm beautiful".

Betsy
April 2009

Hola, I'm Betsy a Bichonapoo. Jorge says I'm  bella bonita.  He sings to me in Spanish and I let him do anything as he works his magic on me.  As a final touch, he ties a scarf around my neck and, voila!  I'm even more beautiful!

I let Ruth, my guardian, take me out for walks.  And, I must say, after a grooming at The Classy Canine, everyone, I mean everyone, stops to comment what a pretty dog I am.  They call me Diva or Princess. It's o.k., I am.  And, Chase, a Golden Retriever down the street, always runs to see me.  He wants me.   But I walk on by.  You see,  I already have a boyfriend, Hersey, a big Lab.  We live together and he adores me.

I'm the bella of the neighborhood, too.  I allow my neighbor to take me on walks whenever I want. I think I make her look good when she's walking me. Spread the joy, I say. 

I look great, let's face it. I AM the dog of the month. I can't bark enough about The Classy Canine and everyone who works there.  They make me feel like the divine diva that I am!

Mee-Too
March 2009

Mee-Too is a Sable Pomeranian male that I've had since he was about 10 weeks old, he'll be 5 on March 10th. The breeder I bought from had 3 litters born days apart so there were allot of pups to look at, every time I would walk toward one he would follow, it was like he was saying 'take me too' he was so loving that I could not resist him, hence came his name Mee-Too. He loves riding in the car. He's smart, not much of a yapper unless the door bell rings and was very easy to house train. Every night and often during the day he's on my lap laying and wanting his tummy rubbed, and if I stop rubbing his tummy, he'll use one of his paws to nudge my hand to get me started again. He's very loving and a snuggler. I love him so.

Kallone
February 2009

Kallone loves going to Classy Canine. She is a very special dog and gets very special treatment and needed attention from all of you which is much appreciated. Kallone has many hobbies and likes water sports, enjoying the outdoors and sun, and is very protective of children. 
Kallone is a very special yellow lab. She has the spirit of a very young soul and keeps "The Empty Nesters" in check.

Joey Bruss
January 2009

Hi my name is Joey Bruss. I am a twelve-year-old Australian terrier and no I do not care for Nicole Kidman’s acting.
I have a pretty good life. I get any kind of treats I want by barking a lot. When my mom goes to work, I go upstairs to her comfy king size bed and watch the squirrels until the afternoon sun warms me and sleep overwhelms me.
I am a seasoned airline traveler and have visited family in Chicago and Milwaukee but prefer the Palm Springs desert. I recommend United Airlines for the best cargo accommodations.
One of my favorite places to get cleaned up is Classy Canine. All that outdoors time dries out my skin and causes me to itch. The massage bath exfoliates so well my skin tingles. They take great care with my sensitive skin and I especially like the waiting area with the large flat screen TV to catch Oprah.

Bijou Harper
January 2008

Bijou is a 2 1/2 year old Shih Tzu. He really is a sweetheart. He loves to play with his squeaky toys and that is how we usually find him when he is hiding, we just follow the squeaks. He has grown to be a lap dog recently. He is a very playful and happy little guy. He loves to play rough with his baby sister who is a 35 pound mini bulldog, Liberty. Bijou definitely can show her who is boss. Bijou loves to go see Toni at The Classy Canine. She buys him chicken nuggets and always can find cookies. He has her wrapped around his little paw.

Miss Dee Rubio

Jake Sumner
November 2007

Jake is 3 year old Golden Retriever. He loves EVERYONE and that's no exaggeration! He's also friendly with other dogs. One of his favorite past times is being in the mountain wilderness with his family camping. He swims and "helps" catch fish. He is a great outdoor dog and when Dad gets lost Jake's GPS comes in handy! Jake is a real sweetheart who also loves to cuddle. We love to see Jake here at the Classy Canine. His smiling face and wagging tail always brightens our day.

Friday Deininger
September 2007

We are proud to announce our classy canine for the month of September, Friday Deininger. Friday is a eight year old Doberman Pinscher. He was born Friday the 13th, but there’s nothing scary about him! His tough guy exterior conceals a sweet, loving boy is a true gentle giant.

Bella Bouchard
August 2007

Bella, Bella, Bella awww, what a sweet, innocent name for a sweet, innocent puppy. Wrong! She obviously had us fooled from the beginning. I think it was those eyelashes?? One bat of those and she’ll have you wrapped around her little paw. Bella is one of the most feisty, high energy pups you’ll ever meet! The neighbors call daily to see if she can play with her pals Sophie, Billy and Mini. They always say how much they like her around because she never fails to tire out all of the other dogs. Other than playing with her friends Bella also likes to take walks around the park, play keep away in the house and she loves to chase all of the wildlife out in the backyard. And I mean all the wildlife, including the skunks. Miss Bella has been sprayed twice in the last week and thanks to The Classy Canine she’s come home smelling as fresh as a daisy. She is now known in our household as Stinker Bell. Although Bella is high energy she can also be very sweet and cuddly. She loves to sleep on the end of the bed every night and when you come in the house she’s always the first one to greet you with an excited wag of her tail. As you have probably guessed Bella is an absolutely wonderful dog and she is honored to represent The Classy Canine for the month of August!

Written with love by Stinker Bell's Mom, Nicole.

Scotty Calderon
July 2007

We are proud to announce our July Classy Canine of the month, Scotty Calderon. Scotty is a 14 years old Sheltie/Corgi mix. He expresses his joy by jumping up and nudging you for attention, which we are always happy to give. We love Scotty here at the Classy Canine Dog Salon.

Maya Brown
June 2007

Maya is a bundle of love in a compact, hairy exterior.  She adores being with people and is always excited about making new friends. She sometimes likes to radiate a tough-girl attitude, but it is only play and she quickly succumbs to a vigorous tummy rub.

Her happy-go-lucky personality belies the fact that she is an incarnation of Diana the Huntress.  Her love of people is only rivaled by her love of an exciting hunt and a challenging game of chase with fleet footed prey.  Did I mention she likes to eat bees???
