Hi Janet.

It's Katie checking in about Henry. He's 54lbs now! Everyone says he looks bigger, but he watches his weight. I was just admiring all of the new puppies. I want them! They are amazing creatures. Henry is very loved. I go to starbucks a lot and he's the mascot. Everyone loves the doodle. His new nickname is "casadoodle" on account of his loving nature. I am very grateful that my little doodle bug is in my life. I want to give his mom and dad a big hug, or maybe a little scratch behind the ear. I hope you are doing well, Janet, and I'll send another update. I've attached a picture of Henry in the mountains. He loves to hike! Thank you again, Katie

Hi Janet - we thought you guys would enjoy seeing the "pups" we got from you. Doodle (on the left) is Dantes and Ivey's pup, born in August of 05 and Shaggy -- the baby of the family and now and a 70-pound bundle of all love and joy -- is Dantes and Nellie's pup, born October, 2006. They are just the greatest dogs. Smart, great watch dogs and always ready to give unconditional love - plus both love to hug and cuddle. You should be proud of how well they've turned out. Thanks Janet! - Mary Sorrel

Janet,

I wanted to send you an update on our puppy from Joey and Chloe's litter. His name is Ryder and he just turned a year old. He is the best thing that ever happened to us! He has the best personality and attitude. I feel like the mix of the cavalier and the poodle was the perfect choice for us. He is so sweet, loving, and quiet (which is a plus) like the cavalier and he has the energy and intelligence of the poodle. He is very healthy and is full grown (14 lbs). We would love to get another one in a few years. I attached a few pictures from a boat ride at the lake. Thanks for a great dog! Ashley and Chad

Hey Janet, just thought i would send some new pictures of Harley. Can't believe he will be 9 months old this month! He is the sweetest boy in the whole world and everyone's favorite no matter where he is. We have been so blessed by adding him to our family. He is definitely a "mamma's boy"! A couple of the pictures show him with his new sister, Serenbe. She is a 4 month old Irish Jack. She thinks that Harley hung the moon and eats, sleeps, plays with him everyday. He is sooooooooo good with her it is unbelieveable. Never once has he resented her or acted out. He plays, protects and teaches her daily. He now weighs in at a perfect 58 pounds and she weighs 6 1/2. Just a slight difference! I wish you could see them play! There are also a couple of pictures of Harley in his first snow. Of course, he took to the snow immediately.

Sending all the blessings of the holidays to you and your family. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I can not say enough great things about the puppy! He has been so wonderful! The only time I have heard him whine is when he needs to go outside to do his thing. And we have played with him so much outdoors, that he hasn't had to ask often. He seems to love the kids and follows them everywhere. We haven't gone anywhere without him. He is doing great riding in the car and is constantly meeting new people and new dog friends. He does not seem a bit nervous; rather, his tail just keeps wagging. Yesterday my husband put him up into the kids jungle gym fort with Sophia and Michael, and Oliver decided to venture down the slide much to our surprise. He loved it so much, he wanted to go back up into the fort again for one more trip.

Our vist with the vet today went very well. Oliver was such a good dog!

Everyone who meets him just falls in love.

So far, he has not had an accident in the house. He has been such a calm (yet happy) puppy. I have no nightmare "chew" stories to tell; rather, he seems to understand his chewing needs to remain with his chew sticks and toys. He learns very quickly. We do not plan to put him in his crate very often, but when we have he does not cry. I'm looking forward to taking him to obedience school; so far he seems to be such a smart dog!

Hi Janet,

Its diana with Gibson the Goldendoodle from your 12/7 Molly/Dantes litter. We had some more awesome pictures we just wanted to share with you. Your very welcome to do what you like with them. We hope to get another one from you in the next year. Hopefully a dark red girl? Thanks!

Diana

(Diana and her family have purchased two beautiful goldendoodles from us! You can see pictures of Gibson and his new friend to the right and a video of them on a swing set on our homepage!)

I just wanted to thank you once again for the most wonderful puppy/dog. He has surpassed any expectations that I had set for him. He is not even 5 months old and is house trained, crate trained, can sit, slay, roll over, and come. He is unbelievably intelligent and I'm still shocked daily by his actions. He loves everyone!! He is great with all people, dogs, cats, and even horses. I have never once seen him show any signs of aggression. I couldn't ever imagine my life without him!! Thanks,Erin

Hi, just wanted to update you on Champ. He is from Kaley and Dante's May litter. He is now 5 months old and doing great. We bought him for my son George. We got off to a rough start with him mainly due to my over eager children. They had to learn not to play too rough with him and also to be calm with him. Champ was easy to house train. I can't even remember the last time he had an accident. He graduated from obedience school and is moving on to the next level. He was the only dog in his obedience class who could stay in a one minute sit. The obedience trainer said it was remarkable for a 4 month old puppy to be able to do that. He never meets a stranger and is friendly with everyone. Everywhere we go people ask what kind of dog is he. He thinks everyone has come to see him when we go to the park. He is so intelligent and has been so easy to train. He loves to play football with the boys in the yard and also likes to play on the skateboard. He can push himself on the skateboard. He also loves to ride in the car. If he hears me get my car keys, he comes running. Thanks for such a wonderful family member. We all just love him! He will lie on the floor next to George and wait for him to finish his homework. George brags about him like a proud parent! I am sending a picture of him taken in the car.Thanks again!The Turner Family

Hey Janet! I thought I'd update you on Killian. He's almost 10 months old now, and weighs about 50 pounds! He's one big puppy, that's for sure! I'm sending you a few pictures of him from Memorial Day weekend on the lake. He loves boat rides, and he found out that he loves the water - he learned to swim on this most recent trip to the lake, and that's all he wanted to do! Thank you so much for such a wonderful addition to our family. He is so friendly with everyone he meets, and plays so well with other dogs!

While he dotes on all 5 of us, he is most attentive to the youngest, Mason (2 1/2 yrs old)...what a great bond they have! There are several other doodles in our neighborhood, and I have to say that Killian is by far the most beautiful one I've ever seen (a mother's bias, I know!) :-) You guys just did a fabulous job in breeding- along with his good looks, his temperment is top-notch!

Hope all is well with you! Lisa, GA

Sampson is doing well. He is so sweet and great with Luke. He lovesriding in the car. I can't believe how mellow he is. He also is getting really big. I hope all is well in GA. We really love thistime of year and spend a lot of time outside. Take Care - Hext

Recent update on Sampson: Sampson and Luke are quite the pair(to the right). I wish you could see him play in

the snow. It is so funny. He sure does love Luke. I also had Sampson

fixed and microchiped since we spoke last. I hope all is well. Heather

Hi Janet! Hope all is going well for you and your family. We are smack dab in the middle of Fall up here in CT. Hard to imagine.

Just wanted to let you know how Harley is doing. First of all, it is hard to imagine that he has been here almost 5 months, and that he is almost 7 months old! He is such a joy and has so much personality. He loves the outdoors and we fenced in our 2 acres in the back so that he can roam at will. He loves playing ball and this summer we bought him a kiddie pool that was his favorite spot to get out of the heat. I take him to the doggy park, where he is the hit of the day, "oh my, he's beautiful. What is he?"

He has become quite good friends with our cats and there are times I wonder if he doesn't think he is one (see photo). He is absolutely beautiful and we can't imagine our life without him.Melanie and Eric

Hi Janet,I was cleaning out my e-mails today and luckily can across the pictures

that you had sent us last year of our now 1 year old Goldendoodlepuppy, Linus. He is sooo wonderful and I wanted to tell you that he isnow a whopping 75 pounds! All legs, very wavy golden/creamy hair. I

have spent a ton of time training him and am just shocked how smart he

is. We really adore him. I'm off to a meeting, but will take a pictureof him today, so you can get the most up-to-date look at him. Justwanted to tell you that he is very loved and safe up here.

I hope you and your family are well. Riley is doing just great … he is so much fun he makes me laugh every-day. My daughter Meghan has been living with us following brain surgery and I believe Riley helped her morale in a big way. When we picked him up he had some stomach problems which turned out to be nothing but nerves from leaving his mom and siblings. He is now 36 lbs. We took him on a trip to Wash DC this past week and he was great the entire trip. My son in Wash DC is a dog lover and thinks he looks like a Sesame Street character. I take him everywhere I go. He is house trained, sits, stays, downs, fetches balls in the dark, shakes hands and sleeps between mom and dad all night without a peep. He loves the car and sits next to me on our golf cart like his has been riding in it for years. I can walk him without a leash and he stays within 20 yards and checks back with me every 30 seconds.He smiles a lot and so do we! Best, Bob

It is hard to believe that it has been two months since we picked up Harold

from you. Harry is from Holly and Dantes 12/24/06 litter. We have becomeso attached tohim. He is a beautiful goldendoodle (of course I'm biased),has the perfect temperment for our family and fits right in with our littleYorkie, Belle.Harry is also extremely intelligent and loves the water down here in PanamaCity, FL. He is proficient with the doggy door and is nearly completelyhousebroken with only the occasional accident. He is also doing very well in obedience school. He picked up quickly on the sit, lay, leave it, takeit, come, and stay commands. He is also doing well with loose leash

walking. We often take him to public places and he has no problems stayingby my side on the leash! We're actually thinking about getting himcertified as a therapy dog when he is old enough. We'll keep you posted.I have attached a few pictures. Again, thanks for our new family member

and I would recommend your goldendoodles to anyone. By the way, he nowweighs 33lbs and is still growing.

Hi! We wanted to let you know how well Mandy (now called Mabel) is adjusting to her new home (Mini Doodle). She is a very good girl. We are so excited with her calm temperment and ability to learn quickly. She has had only one pee-pee accident, and that one was our fault. We take a nice long walk/run in the morning. This morning we ran about 2.5 miles (I jog, she trots) and walked another 2.5. After her long walk she likes to sleep for a few hours and then we play and pick up the kids from school and play some more. The fence people finished fencing in the back yard earlier this week, so now we have a large, safe place to play fetch with the tennis ball. Mabel also likes running at very high speed around, and around. The main thing we're working on now is her relationship with the cats and Carl, which improves every day. The vet said she is a really good dog. So thank you for such a nice dog! Already a friend who has allergies has asked me for your website. We'll keep you posted.

Dear Janet,

Just wanted to let you know how much we love our mini-goldendoodle puppy. We named her Elly and at 9 months she weighs 40 lbs. She is a great dog that gets along with all people and other animals. She is very athletic and loves to run and retrieve her tennis ball as long as someone will throw it for her. She loves the water and went straight in the ocean on her first trip as a puppy. We take her everywhere we go and she has already made numerous trips to the beach and 3 college football games. She does not shed at all and it has been surprisingly easy to maintain her coat. We have left her coat all natural but she loves to go in our lake so we will trim her soon. Sorry we have not sent a picture sooner.Thanks so much,Mark and Karen JonesRainbow City, Al

Janet,

Attached is a picture of Tyson. He turned 1 year old on November 6th. He had a special can of dog food and a few extra treats. He is doing great and is great pet for our kids. He did start chewing up toys so he is back in the crate when we leave. Most of the time he goes with us now that the weather is has cooled off. He goes with me to pick up my kids at school and he loves it. People always come over to see him because he is so cute. He did well in his training. The only thing he is not good at is the command "come". If he is outside playing he never comes. He never wants to go back inside. However, if I put him out on the enclosed patio by himself he will sit and cry at the door to go back inside. He always wants to be right by everyone. Just wanted to give you and update.

Hi Janet!!!

Here is a picture of Sadie Lady Duncan. She will be 1 year old on June16. She is doing great. She is my buddy ( even though we got her for the boys ). Sadie loves car rides, going on the boat, swimming, and chasing birds in the yard. She was accidentally shaved in January by a groomer so her hair is a little short still. She is so smart!!! She learned sit, down, stay, and high 5 with hand signals by 4 months old. Stay is a work in progress though because she just wants to be next to you all the time. We went to dog park near us and met Sadie's half brother. They loved each other. Thanks so much for letting us have our baby girl!!!!The Duncan's Kennesaw, GA

Hi Janet,

Iggy is now 2 1/2 years old and has brought so much happiness and joy into our lives, something neither my wife, daughter and myself thought was possible. He goes about 65 lbs and not an oz of fat, my wife wouldn't allow it. Every time we go out to the store or to Pet smart we spend most of our time interpreting for Iggy as about the only thing he hasn't mastered is the English language, he does however understand Spanish as my wife talks to him in both English and Spanish. As you can see by the photos, Iggy has grown up to be quit the personable young man. During the summer it is hard to keep him from cooling off in the pool. Last year some friends of ours visited us from Main and brought some live Maine lobster. Iggy didn't miss a beat and tried to herd them into the pot. Our family can't thank you enough for allowing us to have the pleasure of Mr. Iggy. If your ever in the Charlotte/Concord NC area please let us know I'm sure Iggy would welcome the visit. I hope you enjpy the pics Sincerely, Paul, Pirris, Aura and of course Iggy

PS he has the uncanny knack of burpping like no dog I have ever known, and always gets a laugh from people.

Hey Janet and family,

I just wanted to give you an update on Malibu. She will be turning 1 this month. I can't believe this year has gone by so quickly. Malibu is a reddish cavapoo. Everyone is always so curious to hear about her breed, amazed at how smart she is. She rings the bell to go out to the potty, caught on to that the very first weekend that she came home.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful family member that we rec'd from you. The girls love her so much and I love her the most...She is always so happy to see you and I declare she can understand English.The Steele Family

Janet, I have been meaning to send you an email for FOREVER!!!! I wanted to thank you for the wonderful puppy Payton that you helped us with. You shipped her to us on April 22 of 2006. She is the first dog I’ve ever had and she is SPOILED rotten. I just turned 40 and I had a rare muscle cancer when I was 37. I purchased her as a rehab dog for Children’s Hospital. Well, I had her in about three series of professional training and our trainer once getting to know Payton felt that wouldn’t be the best thing for her. She’s a hair shy. She is glued to my side and she is MY rehab dog. J Our family is CRAZY about her. CRAZY!!! We are so crazy about her we are seriously discussing another dog. I told my husband that I was thrilled with our first purchase from you and perhaps we should talk to you about another puppy. We are wanting the next dog to be bigger. Maybe the size of a goldendoodle or labradoodle but concerned that we want the next dog to be like brilliant like Payton (our cavapoo). She has the perfect activity level. We walk her 20-30 minutes in the morning, 20-30 minutes at night and she’s pretty pooped out during the day. She just sits by our side. She’s a great sleeper at night. She’s PERFECT. Any ideas on another breed that your could help us with that is between 30-50 lbs. pooh mix and really super smart?

Hi, and happy Spring! Thought I would send an update on not so little Ivy. She is doing great, loving the sunshine and great temperatures. We spend LOTS of time outdoors and have recently been planting a garden and Ivy is quite a skilled digger! She is all caught up on her shots, etc. and has an appt. coming up in April to be spade and have a microchip inserted. Hopefully it won't be too hard on her!

Here are a few pictures of Ivy w/ her three "brothers" ages 7, 5 and 2. She sure loves them all!

Hope you are well, Laura Beamon

Dear Mom & Dad,

I just wanted to send a photo of me that was recently taken when I went to Doggie Camp for a few days. As you can see, I was a good boy for Santa.

I love my new home here in Jacksonville, Florida. I have a big back yard to play in and lots of toys to play with. It's hard to believe it's been over six months since I saw you last.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Love,

Rocky

(and his adoptive parents & brother - Brian, Tammy & David Smith)

Rocky has a new brother to play with!

Hi Janet,

We adopted Zinny from you in June 2006; she was one of two in Bunny and Duncan's litter. She has been the best addition to our family of four!! I have literally given your name to at least 10 people who absolutely adore her wondering where they can get a dog like her. She is the most tolerant, sweet, loving dog ever!! Our two girls dress her up, teach her agility, take her swimming and just shower tons of attention on her and she eats it up.

She is very social; she loves people of all ages and enjoys other dogs, cats, goats and horses (all we have tested so far). She is really smart too. She uses a bell on the door to let us know she needs to go out and gives a gentle bark at her dog bowl if her water gets low.

I have attached a couple photos. The first one was when she was a puppy and we took her out on our boat at the lake and she LOVED swimming in the water. As you can tell she is very loved and she is adorable.

I have to admit I think we should wait until the spring to get another puppy (I take the summers off from work and work 3 days per week the rest of the year) but my family has fallen in love with the little black and tan girls from 8/17. We know we want another girl and like the idea of the poodle mom like Bunny was to Zinny. I assume there are differences with the cavalier being the mom. Is that mom Julie a bigger poodle than Bunny was (it looks like it from the photo but I know that is hard to tell and I am also wondering from the difference in the size of the litter...2 puppies vs. 4)? Can you also remind me are the puppies available at 8 weeks, or how old? We'll look forward to seeing the next batch of photos when they are bit older. Thanks for your help and we are eternally grateful for Zinny!Wendy McKee

I wanted to let you know that Ginger is a doll! We love her. She is sitting in my lap as we speak. She has been a wonderful puppy and is crate training really well. I can count on 2 hands the number of accidents in the house in 6 weeks. She is probably about 8.5 pounds. We all love her and the kids are so attached to her as well. Everyone that sees her falls in love with her and they love the color.

Looks like you have another liter already sold. I highly reccommend cavapoos to anyone looking for a family dog.

thanks so much for Ginger.

Hi Janet! Here are some snaps of one of the English Creme Goldendoodle puppies born in July '07. He was one of the smallest of the litter and weighs in now at around 36 pounds. We named him Dexter. He is a fluff ball of love and fun. We ( and many admirers) think he is adorable. I just love his coat (he sheds a little) but mostly we love his personality. He loves running around his huge backyard and is very patient when the kids pile on him for regular love fests. He is a keeper! Thought you would like to know how he is doing. Thanks, The Soderbloms

Just wanted to wish you and your family a very happy holiday and a joyous new year. We cannot begin to tell you how smitten we are with Ryleigh. She has a terrific personality, enjoys everyone and everything and has been a wonderful addition to our family. She is a veteran traveler having been in 14 states since we got her and has enchanted all of our friends. She is gorgeous (of course) and we have had many people follow us (in different states I might add) to see what she is and where we got her. Perhaps you have gotten a few new clients from her referrals... I am sending a few pictures and one of her with our Maine Coon, Niles who is her best pal. We hope in a few years to add to our family with another baby doodle but for now we are enjoying our one on one time. Warm Regards, Amy and Rich

Here's little henry. We're getting along fine. It's quite a change to be a new mom. He's a sweet boy. Thank you Janet. Henry is the perfect addition to my family. My parents have been trying to take him to Houston even before they met him.

I hope things are going great for you and your family. I'm sure you're making more familes happy with lovely little doodles. A lot of people stop and ask what kind of dog Henry is.

Have a great weekend, Katie Grese

Hi Janet-

I just thought I would take a moment to share some photos of Starsky. Hewill be one year old on February 3rd. He is treasured by every familymember and we laugh every time we walk in the door and see him wiggle withexcitement. I swear you can see him smile! He is 60lbs now, and at the topof his class in obedience training. You really only have to show himsomething twice and he gets it right away. He amazes me. The only trouble isthat I think he thinks he is a 5 pound Chihuahua and not a 60 pound dogbecause every time I sit down in a chair, he thinks he belongs in my lap. Heends up taking up more room than me! Anyway, I wanted you to know how happywe are with him and how our family has really bonded over his care. Thankyou for allowing up to adopt him. He is truly cherished. SYLVIA

Janet,

We got our goldendoodle from you about a year and a half ago. He was one of the older puppies left over when you had several litters at once. When we got him, his name was Clarence, but we named him Ollie.

I just wanted to let you know that he is the most wonderful dog we could have ever hoped for. We are constantly being complimented on what a cool dog we have. He is sweet, calm yet playful, well behaved, and cuddly. He got to be about 70 pounds of lap dog. I'm including some pictures for you.

Thanks for such a wonder addition to our family.

Angie

.Hi! Thought you might like an update on Milo, our cavapoo. He is now 1 1/2 and about 20 lbs. He is doing great! He loves to hike in the woods, run on the beach, and is an excellent swimmer. He is very smart and can understand many words and even whole sentences. Milo is extremely affectionate and loves to be hugged. He loves fetching anything, especially tennis balls and is very good at catching. I have attached pictures of him on the beach and playing fetch with his "summer haircut".

Thanks again for a wonderful dog. Deanna

.Hi Mrs. Janet,

I would just like to thank you for the wonderful puppy we received from you. (blue collar girl from Reba's litter) Bella is almost 4 months old and she is doing great! She is extremely smart and VERY playful! Bella rings bells to let us know when she wants to go potty (or play with the rabbit), she has perfected the "sit", and knows "stay," "down," and she is learning to heel. Everyone thinks she is sooo cute. When I take her on a walk, I always have several people tell me what a cute baby she is. I think you'll agree when you see the photos I have attached:) I could not ask for a better dog, and I would really like to thank-you for raising her so well. Wishing you the best, Caroline Schechinger & Family

Hi Janet,

Hope all is going better with you this weekend. Sadie is adjusting nicely to her new surroundings. My mom has been over at our house 3 times this week, more than ever before. She is love with this dog. The reactions we are getting from everyone is amazing. They all can't get over how cute she is. As promised, I have attached a few photos I thought you would enjoy. I will continue to send as she grow. These were taken this morning, Sadie at 13wk old. Nancy

Hello! Janet, Sorry this email of Lilah and Samson pictures took so long to compose. It's been a little crazy because we moved right before we got Lilah. Hope you like the pictures!

Lilah (Tina's white collar girl) has been amazing! She was so easy to potty train, and is so easy to train in general. She practically taught herself how to sit and lay down with hand or voice commands. She is so sweet and gentle. She doesn't jump on people or nip, and she loves to cuddle! She and our Golden, Samson, are like 2 peas in a pod (one giant pea and one itty-bitty pea). They love to play together, sleep together, etc. I could go on and on about what a wonderful puppy she is, but I think you get the point! Thanks so much! Sarah

Hi Janet,

Hope all is well with you. Sadie is doing great! She is now 16 weeks and weighs 5.1 pounds. She has learned how to sit, lay down, and speak on command. She is teething like crazy and has lost most of her little teeth on the bottom. She is really good about doing her business outside without hesitation. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful pup. Her personality is so sweet and she is so smart.

I have included a few new pictures. Hope you like them.

Also, we hope Karl is doing better too.Take care, Nancy & Ginny

Congrats!! How cool to be included in the Goldendoodle book!! They made a wise choice! Callie has become a Goldendoodle ambassador. She is such a hit at school pickup!! There is a park beside the girls' school where we wait for the kids. It takes us FOREVER to leave. Callie always has an audience before her, and she doesn't like to leave a single child or adult unloved. She has still yet to meet a stranger. Callie successfully completed Puppy Preschool. Without a doubt, she was the best socialized dog there! She remained class clown till the end, but no one learned faster than her!! As her "big dog" fur comes in, she's gaining a lot darker color like her ears, especially down her back and legs.

I've referred a few people to your website. Don't know if it will result in any adoptions, but if they're smart it will!!!! I can tell you this..and it is what I tell anyone I refer to you...you get what you pay for with you. I've already told you how the vet reacted to her superior health. Callie's disposition and social skills are beyond compare. All the early work you did with her (and the other babies) is so evident. The puppy door training is priceless. Add to that the health certifications of the parents, etc., and I am so, so glad we got our baby from you. Callie has completely altered our family for the better. Callie cries when the girls leave for school, and she has to lie in the bathroom while I dry my hair if I dress after the girls go. She wants our company as badly as we want hers. I refer to Callie as "Little Shadow" because, especially when everyone else is gone during the day, she is my shadow. Our whole neighborhood is in love with her. Everyone loves to see sweet Callie coming.

We look forward to watching the next batch of pups thru the website. I hope every family finds the same special bond with their pick that we did. Even Amy still says constantly that "Callie is just the perfect dog! I'm glad she's the one we got!". You can't wipe the smile off her face. Her stomach issues have lessened as well. I fully believe Callie plays a role in that. She certainly made Amy's dreams come true, and looking up to see them playing in the backyard gives me a smile you can't wipe off!! Have a good week!! Lisa

Janet,

Teddy and Ellie are just over a year old now. They are by far the best dogs ever. I can't imagine my life without them in it. They sleep in my bed every night and sleep in with me in the mornings. Ellie makes some really weird noises when she dreams. The family joke is that they are my little shadows. Thank you so much for giving me these wonderful dogs. They have really become part of the family!

the Normans

P.S. I'm sorry I sent you so many pictures but they are my favorite things to photograph! This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Yes, he is a handsome boy, with his hair long or short. He’s 7 months old, weighing in at 25 lbs. Do you think he’ll get much bigger during his first full year? We would be delighted if you use any of the pictures and/or our reports of his winning the Pet Smart best trick award (for jumping through my daughter’s hula hoop) at 5 months, as well as Mr. Congeniality. He’s a joy, but he is a handful too. I thought I lost my glasses this weekend until we found his hideout where he stashes his ABC (already been chewed) treasures. I think he gets lonely when we’re away. There’s no way we can afford another one now, but if you find you can’t place any of the female puppies and can’t keep them, let me hear from you. Thanks Janet.

Here’s a recent photo of Jackson. He has turned out to be the PERFECT pet for us. He is extremely well trained now….top of his class!! Responds consistently to most all verbal commands and has learned hand-signals for sit, down, heel, and come. He is extremely loving and well mannered and stays out of the crate most all the time now. After the bought with a urinary tract infection he has been doing very well….and has stabilized (we hope) at about 22 lbs. We could not have asked for a better dog. Thanks so much!

Hi Janet,

It's been 1 1/2 years since we took our Bella home. As you can see she turned out to be a beautiful girl with a terrific personality. Our Bichon Frise, Dante, loves his sister to pieces and they play together all the time. She has grown quite a bit. She is now 16.8 lbs but is a lean machine. We love her beyond words and want to thank you for allowing us to adopt her. She looks like Chewbacca from Star Wars and she makes the weirdest sounds when she has her game face on. Thanks again.

Hi Janet, Just wanted to share pictures of Sammy with you. He is 12 weeks old now and absolutely gorgeous. Jon and I are so happy to have him.

Our Veternarian and her staff just can't resist holding him and loving him. We have a large family of 10 grandchildren coming and going and he loves it when they are here to play with him. He is also just as happy when it is only the two of us with him. We have spoiled him just a little. Sammy sleeps in the bed with us and has never had an accident. He goes in the crate when we are not home (still not out of the chewing stage yet), but that will come with time and growth. Sammy knows commands such as sit, stay, and come already. He walks well with a leash and is scheduled for the basic puppy training class at PetsMart on January 23rd.

We had a marvelous Christmas and Sammy was right in the middle of it all. Hope yours was wonderful, as well. Well, I could go on and on about our new family member... anyway we wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year. Pat, Jon, and Sammy Savannah, GA

Janet, I just gave her a bath and dried her off. Here is what she knows how to do so far: shake hands, sit, wave, lay down, shake right hand, shake left hand, kiss, go to your room (which we do after each walk and they run to the kitchen for a treat), find Emily, stay (most of the time), and fetches tennis balls & nerf footballs and brings them back. I'm working on roll over, speak, count, next. Abby doesn't bark very much, so counting won't be easy like it was with Emily. :)

Hi Janet,We adopted the red ribbon girl from Reba/Ace litter on July 4th, 2009. Our three kids (ages 12,10, & 6) named her Peaches. Peaches is the best dog ever! She has passed

her basic obedience course and continues to practice her commands with my 6 year old-who now aspires to be a dog trainer. Peaches loves to ride in the car and has visited grandparents and dog cousins in N.C. as well as vacationed at the beach in S.C.. Everyone comments on how well she behaves and what a calm disposition she has. At 10 months old, Peaches is now a 50 lb puppy who still loves to snuggle in your lap. We can't imagine life without her!the Renner Family

Finn is five months old today. Best. Dog. Ever.

We've been going to obedience training and he is definitely the smartest (and cutest) dog in the class. He learns so quickly. He's incredibly sweet and plays well with other dogs as well as children. He loves to take a break on our afternoon walks to sit on the hill and watch the herons and cranes on the lake. At five months, he's right at 40 lbs and growing, growing, growing. Here are some photos we took yesterday...

Hi Janet,

Happy Mother's Day! Hope this email finds you and your family well. I can't believe it, but Sadie turned 1 yesterday, which makes this mother's day extra special for us. She is a wonderful dog. She is loving, friendly and just too cute for words. We are really enjoying being puppy parents. Sadie loves to ride in the car and even enjoys dining outside with us (when it's not too hot). Our dog trainer loved using Sadie for her role model because she was such a quick learner.

I have attached a few new photos of Sadie at 1 year old. Feel free to post them on your website.Take Care.

Hi Janet!

Its Harold's parents checking in again! Just wanted to give you an update on Harold and see if you have heard similar feedback from Anna/Spanky's litter.

First, it appears Harold's shedding is lessening but has not gone away. I know it wont entirely go away.. but I still think its more than what we should normally expect.

Second, we have learned that Harold's tummy has not been agreeing with his puppy food. Mostly, the vet believes he may need a different source of protein/grain mix. We learned this after a few bouts of diarrhea and no clue of the cause. We found when he ate eggs and rice, he was regular and fine... but a few days after his puppy food -- back to diarrhea. Have you heard of other puppies from this litter experiencing this? Any insight on the right food to transition to?

Thanks as always... here's an updated pic!

Janet, the dogs are thriving and growing like weeds! They have changed our lives for the better. We are looking forward to taking them to Vermont for a month to escape the SC heat. Lilly is 9 pounds now and doesn't let her small size stop her from doing anything. Oliver is 65 pounds and a gentle giant. Here is a picture of Hayden and Oliver at training school and of Oliver as a lap dog. Lilly doesn't stay still long enough to be in many pictues. Enjoy your summer. ~Abigail

Hi, for some reason I can not find the name of the vitamin you told me to get Waffle. It is the first of the month and I can afford to order it. Would you mind sending it again?

We sent some pictures of her earlier today. Janet we want you to know just how thrilled we are with our little girl. We are so silly about her, she is just so special. We can't imagine life without her. Smart doesn't even begin to tell the story! When the phone rings she looks in the direction where the phone is, when we ask her if she needs a time out she looks at her crate and begins to behave! We take her everywhere we go, she isn't left alone for more then 2 hours when we go to the market. Wherever we go people want to know what kind of dog she is, where we got her and is she good....well that begins a very long conversation! I continue to check out the puppies available thinking she might need a little sister or brother....and she is only 4 months old. She is truly changing everything we know about dogs. We love her so much.

Thank you so very much for all your hard work!

Hi Janet: Here are some updated pictures of Abby and Emily. Abby is now the same exact length and height as Emily, but weighs less (probably the Poodle part in her). Not the best quality photos because I used my iPhone. This is how they sleep together. Abby looks sad when she first wakes up. lol Abby is now a great swimmer and loves the pool. She couldn't swim too well at first (her back half kept sinking). I held her back legs up until she got the hang of it. They both jump in when I allow them to play fetch with the tennis ball in the pool (about once a week). They both get mad when I swim (almost daily) and don't let them swim too (I read I shouldn't let them swim more than once a week due to their skin / coats). Plus it takes a long time to dry them both. Abby especially gets mad and throws a fit barking and scratching at the sliding glass door. Emily barks and slams her front feet on the ground by jumping on her back legs. Funny to watch. They give up after about 10 minutes and just stare at me, probably still miffed. When I come back into the house, Emily barks at me in a way you can tell she isn't happy with me. - James

Hi Janet,

We adopted Tifa and Spanky's yellow collar girl last spring. I just wanted to tell you what joy she brings to our family! She is 6 months old now and is very smart and loving. She has traveled with us to both Maine and Florida, and has done extremely well on the long car rides. She is very playful with our two children, and she is very protective of them. On one of our Florida trips, when she perceived that the children were swimming too deep in the bay, she quickly swam out to round them up and followed them all the way to shore. I've attached some photos of our precious girl for you to enjoy. Thank you for the great job that you do in providing such fabulous puppies!

Have a great day,

Jennifer Blodgettxt.

Janet,

I just wanted to send a few pictures of Harry. We are utterly and absolutely in love with him. You picked out a great one for me. I may be interested in a good looking black and tan Cavapoo. Harry needs a brother. The only thing I am picky about are their eyes. I would love to have one with straight eyes. I am weird about the bulging/wall-eyed eyes that some cockers and King Charles Spaniels have. Just keep me in mind if you find yourself with a little boy that fits the mold.

Thanks!!

Wendy

.Janet,

I hope you and your family had a nice Easter. The day was beautiful here.

Lilly has adjusted beautifully to her new home. She is simply precious! Oliver was SO excited about her arrival and wouldn't leave her alone for the first few days. Now they play but also give each other peace. They are really cute together. There are times when I have to seperate them because Lilly is being too rough. :) She chases him outside and he looks like he is running for his life. A funny sight to see a 4 pound puppy chasing a 53 pound puppy. :)

Hi Janet,

Just wanted to send you an update on our precious Lacey. Today she is 7 months old - and the most wonderful pal to both Mike and me (she's definitely Daddy's little girl). She was spayed at 5 1/2 months - had a laser procedure (not sure if it was worth the extra money, but she did fine). I slept on the floor next to her the first night just to make sure she was okay. Anyway, she is just doing terrific. Yesterday was a pretty big milestone for Lacey. Up until now she would go into the water just up to her chest - and plunge her face into the water. Pretty cute. But yesterday she decided to go after a little leaf on the water, and she just LOVED the swimming. Mike was right next to her, but she was a natural. Such a fun moment for us - to see her having so much fun!

Attached is a picture of Lacey that I took a couple days ago. She is just beautiful - and has the sweetest heart and disposition. She is also very smart. (We're so obviously proud of our little girl!)

Hope you are doing well, Janet. Take care.

Hi Janet,

I just wanted to drop a line and give you an update on Parker (Fluffy/Dante's February '10 litter). Parker is now 7 months old is the love of our lives! He is such a sweet, playful, good boy! He has so much personality, and he loves everyone as much as they love him! He has never met a person or another dog he doesn't like! In his obedience class the trainer is very impressed with how quickly he's learned, and he often gets people who stop and watch him because he is SO CUTE and smart! He LOVES to go boating, and hiking, but also enjoys a lazy afternoon. I couldn't have asked for a better puppy! THANK YOU! I have sent some pictures of his growth, WOW is he a big boy now!!!

Thanks again!

Megan

I hope you and your family are well. It has been several months now since our puppy, Pasa (pronounced Pasha) born to Anna and Spanky on 2/10/10, arrived. He has grown to be a well behaved and handsome boy; as you can see by the attached pictures (and yes that is a teddy bear he is cuddling in his bed!). He was just neutered this past week, a bit late at 8 months, but he is recovering well. People stop us everyday on the streets of NYC to interact with him. He has this incredible magnetic personality, and smile....so we are told. He is a happy healthy dog and we refer everyone who asks to your website. Thank you again for the loving way you breed your dogs. Having Pasa in our lives has made us happier then we can ever express in words.

All Our Best,

Lorie Ryan and Ali Ozel

Hey Janet,

This picture is about 4 mos old. Riley is at the spa today today getting a hair cut. My friend Margie is actually looking for a new dog. Her Sam,a lab, passed a few months ago. She wants one like my Riley. I have not had Riley neutered yet and I was wondering if you could use him. He is awesome. I usualy get stopped during our morning run so people can say hi to him.

That is wonderful to hear your son is cancer free. Jess and I will keep him in our thoughts.

Thanks, Marybeth

.Dear Janet,

I wanted to tell you how much Fritz and I are enjoying Milli (born 12/10/10 to Anna and Spanky). She is a true joy, and has added so much happiness and activity to our otherwise very quiet existence. Never having had a dog as large as she is, it is something new every day, and we love it. She is very much my dog until Fritz gets home, then I do not exist. Her personality is adorable, she gets along so well other dogs and loves to be around children. Thank you so much for helping me through all of my questions since we picked her up. I think we have resolved most of our dilemmas. I am enclosing some photos we took on her 8 month birthday. Hope you enjoy seeing how our big girl has grown. We love her so much. Thank you again. Winnie

Hi Janet, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for our wonderful dog who came from Sonnie's litter this summer. Kingsley has a wonderful personality, he hardly ever barks, and he trains very quickly. He has been completely potty trained since eleven weeks, and he has learned to sit, stay, shake, and give hugs (something the kids taught him). He has also become a best friend to all my children.

I couldn't have asked for more in a dog.

Thanks again,

Jill

Janet,

I wanted to take a moment to share our Christmas card photo with you! Buck was 1 on August 13th. He has been such a wonderful addition to our family! The boys just love him and I have fallen for him more than anyone. He is so well behaved. His latest accomplishment has been learning to get his own ice cubes from the freezer by standing on his 2 back legs and using his nose to push the ice button. He gets so excited every time he is successful!! Thanks for such a fabulous pet!

.Hi Janet,

Here’s a quick update on a couple of your pups from this summer. Crash, the male on the left was born to Holly on June, 7. Elle, the female, was born three days later although I can’t remember her mother’s name. Dante was the father for both litters. They are fantastic dogs, well-behaved and full of energy. We get compliments wherever we go, and raves from their trainer. The pups are rapidly approaching 50 lbs, so we’re guessing they’re going to be big when they’re done growing.

Thanks again for the wonderful dogs.

Todd & Shannon Fluffy/Dantes and Holly/Dantes puppies

Hello Mrs. Ayers,

It's been almost a year since we've welcomed Emma to our family and we are so please with her. We've already decided that if we ever add another dog it will definitely be a Cavapoo. I've never seen such a wonderful breed. She's so funny and we swear she has a sense of humor. She housetrained so easily and is so loving with our family. She's playful, but totally happy to play lap dog too. She goes everywhere with us, but is completely happy in her crate at night and when we're gone. And not having dog hair everywhere is wonderful!

Thanks so much for our wonderful dog. Hope you have a wonderful new year!

Hi Janet just wanted to give you an update on our little boy K.C.. He is doing well and we love him very much. He is a daddy's boy for sure. He is so spoiled. He has been to Florida several times and he loves it there. He does very well on the plane. He loves it on Fort Myers Beach and EVERYONE loves him. Everyone that walks by can't help to stop and ask what kind of dog is that and where did we get him. He is a real heartbreaker. Everyone loves his color. We just had him groomed and he looks so cute. I can't tell you how happy we are for adopting this little guy. And to think I almost said no. And believe me my wife and son remind me all the time because he is like my shadow. He loves to go for a ride in the car also. He has his own Eagles football jersey. I just bought him a new sweater for fifty dollars and my wife said she does not even spend that much on herself. Again thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs. We love him very much now and can't imagine our lives without him.God Bless Al

Hi Janet,

Hope you are well. Remember us from New Jersey? I just wanted to se you an updated picture for your website. "PeeWee" is a wonderful boy, we love him so much an has adapted to our family perfectly. He is the best first dog we could have ever adopted. We are amazed, since he's from Georgia, and you have mostly warm weather, that he is an all season dog. He LOVED swimming in the summer and had just as much fun in the snow in the winter, he is a blessing, and has been a wonderful addition to our family. he is loyal and protective of our daughters as well.Always,

Lynn & Family

Dear Janet,

Sorry it has taken me so long to email you. After the holidays we left Texas and came back to Bulgaria with Barkley (Mika and Dante's October 2010 litter). Barkley is doing fantastic and Clifford (our 8 year old golden retriever) loves his little brother!! We are so thankful that he is part of our family. Thank you so much for letting us adopt such a wonderful puppy......he practically came to us completely potty trained. You and your family do an awesome job with the dogs and I am so happy to have found you. I have attached a couple of pictures of Barkley (with his brother, Clifford of course). I will keep you updated and send more pictures soon.

Hi, Janet!

It's been just over 2 years since we got our puppy from you. If I remember correctly, she was in Dantes/Athena's litter of Feb. 1, 2009. She has been a joy!! Her name is Lexie. She never fails to keep us in stitches, and she LOVES the water! I've attached a few pictures of her when she was a puppy & now. She swims at our lake house all the time. She wore a life jacket the first summer, but has quickly graduated to not needing it anymore. She will now get a running start & just jump! She's great with other dogs and people. We can't imagine life without her!

Thanks again for a wonderful companion! Sincerely, Judy & Ken

Hey Janet –Lucy is doing great. She has grown a LOT and is a big strong puppy now. She is beautiful, and a really smart dog. We found a lady near our house who trains dogs, and she just raves about how smart Lucy is. She has become sort of a grandmother to Lucy. My wife doesn’t like it when we have to leave Lucy in the crate for more than an hour or two (except at night) so if we ever go somewhere for the day, Lucy goes to her “grandmother’s” to get some training. We take her with us most places – like the ballpark and the lake, and while she is still a hyper puppy she really does pretty well. Everyone always loves her and talks about how pretty she is. They pet her and she does really well with strangers – we are working to stop her from jumping on them – but she is always very friendly. She is very gentle with smaller kids, which I think is neat because I don’t know how she learned that was important.

She really is like having another kid in the house. Most of the time, that’s a good thing! She is sweet and loves to play with my daughters (10 and 6 years old), and then she fights and plays rough with my son (age 3 – who starts the fights). She is very healthy and doing great as far as that goes as well.We are very happy with Lucy!! I attached a picture.

Thanks!! Wayne

Hi Janet,

It’s been a little over a year since Snoopy came into our lives and it’s truly amazing how one little pup can make such large impact. My husband grew up with dogs, but this was a first for me- and now I can’t imagine my life without her. How would I start my day without my morning kisses? She is the sweetest, most loving little girl (actually not so little anymore- almost 20 lbs now). I like how you described Rose (her Mother) as “never met a stranger”- because that is our Snoop. Makes friends wherever she goes. We can’t make it down the block without saying hello to everyone. I’ve included a few photos for people who are interested in seeing a Rose and Joey pup at age 1. The one thing I will say about her looks is that she is so adorable and has such expressive eyes- that it’s tough to say no to her. Nothing wrong with a little bit of spoiling, rightJ Thank you so much for our sweet little Snoopy. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to the family.Jaime & Tom

.Hi Janet

We are having a wonderful time with Willie. We love him so so much. He is a really good boy. He loves to hike, play with his toys, roll in the snow, & I think that he is close to swimming as he loves to walk in the rivers & streams. He has brought us lots of happiness. We take him every where we go. He loves to ride in the car.

How are you doing? Have all of Willie's litter mates been adopted yet?

Willie is now 22 lbs. He was 7 lbs when we left GA.

All the best to you!

Dana & Ivan

Hi ,Janet!

Ghee is our goldendoodle from Hera and Dante's litter. She is just the best puppy ever with a great temperament and is so calm. I'll have to admit shes also quite the flirt tossing her head to one side and looking at you with those soulful eyes. If we are not careful , we could spoil her rotten. She started herpuppy training and is a star already. Thank you so much ---- we could not be happier with our great , healthy puppy. The picture is Ghee watching the birds at

St. Simons Island--- she loves being a salty dog.

Hi Janet,Our family adopted one of Sandee and Benny's mini-golden doodles back in April of this year. Our baby, Millie, is now almost 5 months old and is doing great. She's very smart and playful. The attached picture was taken about a month ago. Millie weighs about 20lbs now. She is the center of attention everywhere we go! Everyone always wants to know what kind of dog she is and where we got her. Thank you for the beautiful puppy! Sarah McDanielYou can post this on your website if you'd like...

Hi Janet,

I created a book of Buckley's first year. When you have a minute, you should check it out (the link is below). He's an awesome puppy! You are more than welcome to put the link on your site. I remember trying to figure out what my dog would look like when I was first interested in getting a puppy. I think the month by month will give people a good idea of what to expect. Buckley has since had a hair cut. It's much shorter now and perfect for the summer heat.

I can't speak highly enough about Buckley. He brings such joy into our lives. If you ever need a reference, feel free to share my contact information. I'll answer any questions they might have.

Hi Janet,

I wanted to email you and tell you how happy Lily (Rose and Joeys litter) makes us. She is the perfect mix of playful and loving. She follows me everywhere and has adjusted to her new home as well as our other dog well! I can hardly believe it but she is practically house broken already and learned to sit the other day. I am truly in love! She makes our family very happy so thank you from the bottom of my heart. I attached two pictures one of just her and the other with our other dog Hope.Thank you again for everything and I will be back in touch soon with updated pictures as she continues to grow!Whitney and Tom Kennedy

Dear Janet,

I wanted to let you know that we are crazy about Grover! He is from Hera's 2/13/11 litter. He's almost 5 months old, and is growing like a weed; he weighed 26 lbs last week. He is so smart; not only does he pick up traditional commands quickly, but he figures out by himself how to adapt to situations. Sometimes this is very helpful, and sometimes not! Last week we started "puppy class", and there were three doodles in the group - a labradoodle, a goldendoodle from Kalie's litter, and Grover. I love that when I'm working around the house, he lies quietly nearby. He does like to chew on everything, and I mean everything, that he finds on the floor, so we keep a very clear floor now! He is a great retriever, and comes when he is called. Thank you for a wonderful dog. Sincerely, Lisa Yarn

Janet:Taco has been with our family for 3 months. It's amazing what a great addition he has been to our family. He is sweet, smart, and very friendly & playful. He graduated from puppy class and begins his intermediate training next week. He loves to ride in the car, has been to the beach, and has been swimming in the pool (reluctantly). We've had a couple of "doodle" playdates, which really wears them out. Taco more than tripled his weight in the first two months, going from 7 pounds to 25. He is now 32 pounds with huge paws. Everyone tells me he's going to be big, I mean REALLY big! We love him - he is the perfect dog for our family. Being a "cat family" before, it has been an adjustment - but we prepared for it and it has been well worth it. Here is a photo from when he first came home, and a recent photo (19 weeks). We will keep you posted.The Todd Family

Hi Janet - I've been meaning to get photos of Maggie to you and these were sent to me yesterday. Great shots! She is 10 months old now (Sonnie & Archie's litter of Dec 20, 2010). The last time she went to the vet, about a month ago, she was 50 pounds. The vet said she'd get to 60, just as you'd predicted.

Maggie is super sweet and a ball of energy. She's a great addition to our family.

I would highly recommend you if anyone is looking for a doodle - thanks a bunch for our sweet girl.

This is Luca. We got him from you back in February. My name is Jerry Esposito, he was purchased by my wifes boss for us as a gift, and he purchased his brother who is called Moose. I can't thank you enough for him. To be honest, I did not really want another dog, but my wife insisted and of course won out as usual. Luca is unbelivable. He has become one of the family and I never go anywhere without him. He is loveable, loyal and the best "friend" we could ever have wanted. He doesn't get in the way. Lets you do your work and waits patiently for play time. I can't thank you enough for such a great addition to our family. Thanks.....Jerry Esposito

PS...He is now 10 1/2 months old. He weighs 10.2 pounds.At what age is he full grown and what is the weight range at full grown. Thanks again

PSS....I never even knew what a cavapoo was!

Hi Janet –We got Lucie from you for Christmas last year. I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures and let you know how happy we are with Lucie! She is absolutely the smartest and best dog we could have ever wanted. She is SO GOOD with the kids, even when my 4 year old son wrestles with her like a stuffed animal. She is so gentle, and sweet. She greets me at the door every day when I come home and waits for me to pet her. If I don’t give her enough attention, she will gently reach her paw up and tap my hand…telling me to pet her some more. I think you will agree she is about the prettiest dog ever as well! Anyway, I hope you are doing well! Enjoy the pictures!
