We'd like to thank all of our customers for their response and
feedback. We've gotten so many great responses that in addition
to the ones placed throughout the site we needed to create a
page just for them. Again,
we thank you for choosing a Stadler Fur Teddy Bear!
Dean, our beautiful little bear arrived today. Again we are so pleased with
your work. You are a special gift to many. This new little bear will be going
to "R". My Mama will give it to her Mommy at a baby shower
on Sunday. Many thanks. — L. and her
Mama D.
Hi Dean, Just wanted to thank you so much. The bears are beautiful, this weekend
is A's birthday I can't wait until I can give her the bear. Thank you
again they are more beautiful than I imagined. I will recommend you to anyone
who may want to have bears made. Terrific job. Thanks again — N.
Hello Tonya & Dean, I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job you
did with my "Miami
Sweatshirt" bear; he is beautiful! My Grandmother would have been very
proud of the love and attention to detail that you put into your work.
You have revived a wonderful family memory that will live on for generations
to come. I can't wait to give this bear; full of personality to my mother,
I'm sure she will cry but at the same time be grateful for such a unique gift.
It was really nice working with you, I appreciate your suggestions and I have
to say...your artistry and craftsmanship are 2nd to none. Thanks again. — S.H.
I have been meaning to send an e-mail to let you know that I received the
bears. They are BEAUTIFUL! Better than I expected. I love the moveable arms,
legs and head. I took a few to work and my coworkers were amazed at how well
they were made. I would recommend you to anyone who wants custom made fur teddy
bears! Thank you so very much for the excellent job you did. I just can't express
how happy I am with the end result! — J.F.
Hi Dean & Tonya, The bears just arrived and they are delightful. Even my husband
was smiling as he picked each up and gave them a once over...remarking "did
you know you were getting this many bears? And what are you going to do with
them?" I can't wait for the rest of the family to see them (& to give
a few as gifts, although deciding which bear goes and which stays will be most
difficult). First thing though will be a bear family portrait!
The workmanship and creative use of both furs, along with the linings, shows
your passion for what you do. Each of the bears absolutely have their own personality
and now what each lack is an appropriate name, which they will get before the
week ends.
It was a real pleasure doing business with you.
Thanks again. — J.B.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you both! "Vicki" arrived and she is so beautiful.
You did an excellent job with that ugly mink coat. — S.Z.
Hi Dean, Just received my bear. I was so happy - the workmanship and details
are fantastic. It was like having my dear grandmother with me once again. She
is sitting on a chair in my living room. It was a pleasure dealing with you
and your company. You are most professional. Thank you again — B.W.
Dear Dean, My bears arrived today and they are wonderful. Your attention to
detail is great. I'm so glad you thought of putting my mom's initials
on each one. That really makes them special and I love the
little pins. I think they will be passed down in our family for years to come.
I am putting a check in the mail today for the remainder of the bill. I will
certainly mention your name if people are looking for someone to make bears.
Thanks. — P.S.
Dean, the bears arrived today...I am once again impressed with your
talent..they are just adorable....I can hardly wait for my
sister to see them....we will wait to give them to our daughters
for Christmas..it will be hard to wait Thank you for doing such
an amazing job. Will
certainly recommend you to anyone who asks....my bear will
be on display in my living room!! Thanks again. — S.
Hi Dean and Tonya, I received our bears yesterday. They are beyond
adorable. I
love, love, love. I am so pleased with the quality of your workmanship
and attention to detail (i.e. the nostrils in the nose). Now
I can enjoy seeing my mink instead of having it covered and stored
away in the closet. Thank you so much. — D.S.
Dear Dean, I sent you a note from your website address but wanted to
make sure you heard from me regarding the stunning, wonderful
bears I received...I can not say enough ---except----"THANK
YOU so very much. After
the bears came out of the box I immediately looked at the
other furs in my closet and thought what beautiful BEARS you
coats and jackets could become. I will do some serious thinking
regarding my other coats in a couple of months. I love the
faces on each bear, they have personalities that make you smile
at each one. But
holding each bear is a joy, there is a feel to them that
is delightful.
Thank you again for your talents, I include your wife also
in my Thank You. — D.N.
Dear Dean and Tonya, The bear arrived yesterday and it is even more
adorable than in the photograph. I really knew it
was something very special when I gave it to my daughter and
her eyes lit up as they used to when she was a little girl.
You have given us a beautiful family heirloom which I am certain
my daughter will share it with her children when she has them.
Thank you for such a wonderful gif. — L.
Hello Dean and Tonya, I received the bears today and they
are soooooo cute I can hardly stand it. So… now
the million dollar question… do
you still have any of the fur left – I would like to
order another one. Thank you again for your efforts
to make the bears – I
am going to take them to work tomorrow to show them off – I
think they are absolutely darling. I am so lucky to have
found your company.
My very best to you both, — L.
Hi I picked up my bears at the post office
this morning. They are more than I expected they would be.
I can't believe how beautiful they turned out. I guess I had
forgotten how dark and how pretty my fur
stole was. Thanks
so much. I will show them to many people. My son & Daughter-in-law
will be coming next week I
am sure they will be as pleased as I am. — C. M.
Hi Dean and Tonya, Our bears have arrived at their new home
and are WONDERFUL! I'm hanging onto all four for a while; we
will be personally delivering them to the grandchildren (don't
worry -- they are all in the 40s) who are scattered throughout
the Northeast so they will be finding their real homes throughout
the spring. The one with the monogram, of course, is for me.
Love the "bling" on
the scarf! And you are right -- each one is unique and has
a different personality. Our bears are a joyous reminder of
my mother and will bring a smile and the happiest of memories
each time we look at them. Again -- thank you for your artistry! — M. & J.
Hi Dean and Tonya! Yesterday I received the
MOST lovely TREASURES, and they nearly brought me to tears
they are so wonderful! From the brooches to the original
Max Zeller tag on the other bear's cape. My gosh! I
LOVE what you have done. I thank you soooooooo much! Keep
doing what you do. You have preserved a memory in
a special way, and they even still have the scent of my grandmother.
EVERYONE I showed them to are so awed by them. You
made my year! It
is absolutely a wonderful gift of love that you provide. All
the BEST to you — C. M.
They're here and they are fabulous! I can't thank you enough
for making all these adorable bears! They are sure to be a
most treasured keepsake for the grandchildren. You are just
wonderful! Many thanks!
— C.
Dean & Tonya: I just want to tell you what an
absolutely beautiful job you did. I was so surprised and cried
with joy. You did a fabulous job with such an old mink and
it is just precious. I opened my gift Christmas Eve and brought
her to all the parties! Everyone said she is just darling.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. She is one of the
best gifts I have ever received. — K.M.
I wanted to let you know how thrilled everyone was with the
bears from Mom's coats. Needless to say, there were tears,
but of shear joy and memories. A friend who owns a monogram
machine made bows that said "Grammy" for
the granddaughters, for around thier necks, and then we put
plain red bows on for my sisters and me - red was mom's favorite
color.
Now, how on earth did you make each bear have their own
expression? The
day after they arrived and I had the bows on them I lined them
up for a photo shoot, and I'd swear they each had a different
expression.
I could to go on and on - Thanks just doesn't seem
like enough. The
eighth bear will go to my daughter's all girls high school
auction, as she is a senior this year, so I think it will be
a fitting good bye. I will do my best to get a picture to you
of the line up. Thanks again, — L.O.
I wanted you to know what a huge hit the bear
is. My
mom is absolutely thrilled and said it’s the best gift
I’ve ever given her. She said whenever she looks
at it she thinks of her mom and she thinks of me. What
else could you ask for!! All of her brothers
who are still living have seen it, and photos are being
sent by email across the country to all the grand kids and
great grand kids. My mom has explored the
bear in detail and has commented on your attention to detail.
What a wonderful heirloom. We can’t wait
for the rest of the bear family to arrive. — A.A.
Dean, I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful bear that
was made. It looks extraordinary. I know my wife
is going to be extremely surprised and happy with the outcome. I
also want to thank you and Tonya for the professionalism
and courtesy you both displayed anytime I called. It
was a true pleasure dealing with you. Thanks again. — D.M.
Dean, I truly appreciate your
hard work and prompt response. My mom died a little over
a year ago, had 4 girls and 3 granddaughters. One of
those granddaughters will graduate this year from high school,
so we are donating the 8th bear to her school's auction as
a memento item to raise funds. I think everyone is lucky
to have a remembrance of a special woman, and I thank you all
for helping me make that happen.— L.O.
Dear Dean and Tonya, I JUST LOVE THEM - they are so darling
and each one has it's own personality! You have made this holiday
very special for us! I certainly will pass your name on to
others! I also have 2-minks stoles that I will be contacting
you next year about and might even have you make a few more
of the perian lamb ones. Thanks so much again! Best wishes,
J.
Dear Dean, Thank you so much. I knew I kept those
coats all these years for a reason. Sincerely
J.T.
Hi, Dean
They arrived today! Both are fabulous but the muskrat is
exceptional. I love them both! I shall look on your
website regularly and keep in touch, I have no doubt I shall
see something else!!!!!
All the best, — V.
Hi, Dean!
The bears arrived safely and are adorable! They look
like a lovely elderly couple together! Thanks, again,
for your work. I appreciate it very much. My mother
will be celebrating her 75th birthday on December 7 so I think
these will make a perfect gift. Cheers, — C.B.
The bear is more than I imagined. Thank you for sharing your talents. — L.D.
Hiya, Dean
My bears arrived today!!!! And I was gobsmacked! They
are exceptional and much better than the ones I have bought
here in Oz. The raccoon one is superb - what a face!!! Thrilled
doesn't explain my reaction and they are so well made. I
adore them. Can you make me a smaller one (12"?)
in muskrat fur? I shall
leave design up to you as you obviously know what you are doing!!!
Again,
you are a genius bear-maker. Cheers, — V.
I just received my box of bears. They
are wonderfully made. I like the different styles I selected.
And the bears that have both of the furs I like even more than
I thought I would. Thank you again for the beautiful bears
you made me. I look at them every day, and they bring a smile
to my face and my heart. I cannot thank you
enough. — B.
Our daughter received the box on Thursday, as you said she
would, and opened her gift today, her birthday. She had
no idea what it would be and said the bear is just “WONDERFUL!!”.
She is going to send me a picture, and I will see it in person
in November when we visit. I know she is very, very pleased.
Thank you again for all your help and willingness to go the “extra
mile” in getting it there by her birthday. It has
been a pleasure doing business with you. — M.M.
They are OUTSTANDING! Truly adorable - each and every one!
We love them all. I have to give three of them to others and
I'm having a very difficult time deciding which three I am
going to keep! Each one has such a wonderful "personality"!
I think my favorite might be one of the little brown bears
-- the one with the scarf and the collar! He (or she) really
looks like he could be alive! I couldn't be more pleased with
the wonderful work you did! If you ever need a recommendation,
let me know! I will be passing your web site on to everyone!
Thank you again! You did an amazing job! — J.F.
Hi Dean, The bear arrived safely today, in good condition.
In fact he has not reached his final destination yet, which
is at our granddaughter in Copenhagen.
But she is going to have him soon. We like him, and I'm
sure she will like him too. I thought you would like to know
why we would cause a 16" bear to travel
half arround the earth. Thank you very much for all your help
and efforts! Please bring our regards to your wife. I will
keep you in mind in case we should get another - late arriving
- grandchild. All the best — K.R.
Hi Dean, I got the Bears when you said I would and they are
absolutely delightful and have already had someone ask me for
your info Again,Thank You for
your fine artistic creativity and workmanship. — G.
Dean: Just as you said, the bears arrived today! I can't
believe how individual they are & what different personalities
each of them has. I called mom & told her that I
would bring them over for her to see & to get a picture
of her with them. I'm working on a digital scrapbook
for her 4 great-grandchildren for Christmas - I hope they love
them as much as I do. The book will tell how my father
bought the coat for mom before he left for the service in 1943 "to
keep her warm while he was gone".
The boy bear with the glasses fits my great-nephew H.
perfectly - 'a little studious' The 2 girl bears with the scarves
fit my nieces 2 daughters - S. & N. - ' prim & proper'
Then of course the girl with the fur collar is for my granddaughter
O. - 'silly but sweet' The bears fit perfectly with each child,
it's unreal!!
And then what a surprise to see the antique rhinestone buttons
on the girls!
It must be very rewarding to do what you love & make so
many people happy. Thank you for helping me make such
a special keepsakes. — L.T.
