Here is Jasper! 9 months old and 52 lbs of puppy. Loves playing outside and taking long walks. He is leash trained, potty trained and crate trained. Patient with kids and absolutely no shedding. Has been through basic puppy obedience but still learning his manners with reinforcement. Sleeps well and naps well.

Hi Kari,
We bought a puppy from you in September of 2011. You named him Tucker and we kept his name. He is coming up on 5 years old now. He is the most amazing and lovable dog! My girls just love him to death and so do I! Here are a couple of pictures my 13 yo took last weekend. Kodiak was his father! Thanks for sharing the love of our lives!
Hi
Kari and
Doug,
Just wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Bella is now 1 year, 4 months old, weighs in at 43 pounds and is just such a joy to have in our lives.
She is one classy lady and loved by all.

Just wanted to touch base to let you know that Cranberry n.k.a. Elphie (after Elphaba in Wicked) is all settled in and "living the life"!! Teagan and Elphie are the best buddies and we are all in love! Of course she is growing way too fast!!!
Have a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving!

I hope this note finds you well. It's Grace's 1st birthday tomorrow, Nov 20th. I took this picture of her last week. Thought you'd like to see her. She is great girl. We are so happy to have found one another. All the best to you and yours. Ann Paul and Grace

I wanted to thank you, Kari and Doug, for carefully breeding and caring for your adult dogs and their beautiful pups. Thank you for providing a 4 week training option with Gayle Mulvey. Admittedly, the last 4 weeks seemed to pass at a snails pace, but we are now reaping the benefits, Rudy, at 12 weeks, has joyfully walked into our home with exemplary puppy manners. Rudy seemed happier, more adaptable and better socialized than any of our previous pups due to the training month. Everyone meeting our precious pup is blown away at our pups obedience and control. What a dynamic duo you both make ,,, Best Breeder and Skilled Trainer - respected friends working together to ensure wonderful family dogs. Thank You. Rob and Ann Weller, Indiana

Ferris and Lulu Here they are! We are just sending an update. Lulu is now six and Ferris is 3. This year they passed the test to become certified therapy dogs. We love them to infinity and beyond.... They are such sweet, well behaved dogs, loved by our family and everyone who meets them. Just thought you would want to see how they are doing.
Hope all is well! Stephanie |

Indy has stole our hearts! The boys want to name him Blaze, so Blaze Indy it is!! His crate was dry when we finally got him at 7:00. They would not unload the plane due to lightning. He was calm and tail was wagging! He slept like a champ in his crate in our room and no accidents in the crate or inside. Thank you for this little guy, he has found a forever home. Marcia, Tampa

Thought you would enjoy seeing how "Sunflower" (we call her Lala) is doing. She is 13 pounds now and we just LOVE her SO much! She has brought so much joy into our lives and really has a girly personality just like mine :)
I can't wait until we have more space so we can get another doodle! Best, Kelli
PS. We even made her own Instagram account. You can follow her at lalawalabear . |
Hi
Kari!Aiko
is one of Kona
and Kodiak's
pups born
3/1/2006. 
We
just
celebrated his
7th birthday,
and it's hard
to believe we
ever existed
as a "family"
without him.
He is the
best, most
well rounded,
loveable dog I
have ever
known. He is
such a huge
part of our
lives. He goes
everywhere
with us, makes
everyone's day
brighter, and
sleeps with my
daughter every
night. He has
been a
wonderful
since the day
we got him and
has been a
pleasure to
train and hang
out with. He
spent two
weeks at an
overnight camp
in New
Hampshire with
us last
summer, and
when we left
there were
hundreds of
kids who
needed to hug
and kiss him
goodbye.
|
Our darling puppy Dude is now over a year old. He is cute and cuddly as ever, and we love him to pieces! And I thought I would share his Dopplegänger photo... Haha!😉 M. Hoag |
Hello
Kari, I
just wanted to
let you know
that Lincoln
(Jon Jon) is
doing great
and he's the
best dog in
the world.
Thank
you again for
allowing us to
be part of
your family.
I have
to keep my
daughter off
your website
as she wants
Lincoln to
have a sister.
I hope
all is well. Best
regards

Hi Kari! |
Doug & Kari,
I'm not
sure what we
did before we
got her, cause
all we do now
is play with
her. :). Dean & Barb |
Dear Pat (MeadowparkLabradoodles) and Kari,
Just wanted to
send you a few
pictures of
Wrigley (and
Roxy).
Wrigley is
adjusting well
to our
family!
Our boys were
very surprised
and excited on
Christmas
morning. Wrigley
is very
playful and
maybe a bit
too playful
for
Roxy!
She's an
older girl
and likes her
beauty
rest.
It's funny
when Wrigley
starts to play
with our cats,
Roxy comes to
his defense
and chases the
cats
away!
Wrigley has a
great
personality
and is very
well mannered
for a
puppy.
He loves the
snow and runs
in circles in
it in the
backyard.
Attached are a
few
pictures.
Well send more
as Wrigley
grows.
Thanks
again for
Wrigley!
He is very
loved!
Cheryl
& Frank

We made it home to some really happy kiddos! I have attached some pictures! I think we are going to call her Mocha.... She did wonderful last night. She slept in her cage all night....didn't make a sound! No accidents in the house yet :) She is so cuddly and loving. I think she is a perfect fit for our family! Malia, Ohio

Pure Perfection in every way!!!! Thank you! Malou

This is the red dog we got from you a year or two ago. She is doing really well as you can tell. Jana |
Well Shogun is twenty weeks old now. Here he is at the sit position. Training is going well. He walks great on a loose chain, and he sits in this position until release by another command. He does well in the down command but is still a bit stubborn. I also have been training him to stay in a particular spot until released and he is doing very well with that. Overall is making very good progress. He is the baby of the family and everyone really loves him. Everyone that sees him thinks he is adorable. Just keeping you posted.. Take care. John

Rylee
We are so deeply in love with this dog!! It's hard to remember life before we had her. She adjusted very nicely to her new home. She and our cat were getting along and the cat was very interested in her, dare I say he really enjoyed her. Two weeks after we got Rylee the cat took ill and had to be put down. Our family was incredibly sad, and I think Rylee understood that something bad happened. Having Rylee in our lives and home cushioned the blow for all of us and she helped us heal. As they say, timing is everything and she is just what we needed. We've had Rylee for two months now, and in that time she has learned so much. Without jinxing myself, I'll say that she house trained within a few weeks. Sure, she thought the rug was a great place to pee and poop when she first got here, but she quickly learned that outside was even better. Alyssa trained her to use the poochie bells in just a few days and now she rings them when she has to go out. We even put a second set of bells in our family room and she learned to use them if we are all sitting in there. She graduated from Puppy Kindergarten this week and begins basic training next week. She has learned to sit, down, down stay, high five, shake hands, spin, roll over, fetch, come, and is working off leash to heel, stay, and come when called. She learns so fast and is really fun to train and play with. I've been taking here with me everywhere and she melts hearts wherever she goes. She loves the car, kids, adults, other dogs, even the vet and groomer. People can't get enough of her! We are working with her to not jump up on people when someone comes to pet her. As hard as it is for her to not jump, she really works hard to sit first before petting. I really believe that she will make a perfect therapy dog and I also think she can be scent trained to detect low blood sugar. Once basic training is complete, I plan to start with scent training. A friend emailed me last night asking to meet Rylee. They are thinking of getting a dog so I sent her the link to your website. After looking at all your babies, it's hard not to get another one!! Thank you for selecting Rylee for our family. She has exceeded all my expectations and she amazes me every day. We couldn't love her any more and she has brought such happiness to our family. I will keep you updated with her training progress. Happy Easter to all! Jill |
Hi Kari and Doug, Just sent you a picture that I like to call double doodlicious. So, we took our boys to the airport. While we were waiting for "our friend," we game them a small box and in it was a leash and collar, plus the ID tag with the name "Ferris" on it. (Our family is a big fan of the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Ferris is such a dreamy puppy! He is sweet, cuddly and playful. He knows where to go potty in the yard and had only one accident right when he got to the house. Really, I can't believe how easy he has been so far. Lulu is adjusting just fine to her new little brother :) (who is actually her nephew...) Thank you for giving us another gift of puppy love. Have a Merry Christmas! The Schrodts, IL |
|
Next week Wolfenstein "Wolfie" will be 5 months old. He is a little over 25 lbs now and is fully housebroken. He is doing so well with his training.....he is happy, playful, sweet as could be and the softest boy we could have ever hoped for - inside and out. He had his final shots today and is super healthy. His vet adores him. We had an intense winter this season and I was proud of Wolfie learning to go "outdoors only" while living in Manhattan and among many inches of snow. We endured a lot of elevator rides daily from the 39th floor, but he caught on so quick. We have a perfect routine now. He is a true gritty & tough New Yorker now. :) I hope you are all well and enjoying the new double blessings in your lives and the rest of the kids & puppies (big and small) are doing great! Now I understand how hard it is for you guys to truly capture how gorgeous your Labradoodles are in pictures. It is so hard to get the camera to feature their incredible coats and the awesome character in their faces. But, I keep trying and learning. God bless you guys. It is not easy. All that matters is we know how stunning he is. I am eternally grateful for the gift you gave our family. We are giving him a lot of love. Much Warmth, Sheera, Steven, Baxter & Wolfie (oh and all the nutty cats too)

Dearest
Kari and Doug,
|
We spend a lot of time throwing frisbee in the yard (the mere mention of the word "frisbee" gets him into a huge frenzy). It is his favorite toy. He also loves to play in the fountain we have in the patio behind the house and to chase his rubber bouncing ball. He definitely thinks he rules the house and that I live here with him! As you can see from the picture, he is quite the poser. He went through beginner training this year and did very well except that the trainer says he really has butterflies in his brain. He gets so easily distracted. He has a great personality and everyone that meets him falls in love immediately. Thanks for giving him such a great start in life. He is truly a best friend! Dwight

Just wanted you to know that we are so thrilled with Vinni and he makes us smile/laugh every day. He's such a smart and sweet dog, and loves to be around the family. We are so glad we adopted him from you and appreciate your giving him a great start. Fondly, Leanne, Tyler and Ron

Last
November I
adopted
Toffee, born
on August 16,
from you.
I
remember that
you like to
keep up with
your adopted
puppies so I
thought you
would like an
update.
He is
now named
Tanner and has
settled in
nicely.
The
picture
attached was
taken in
October so he
is about 14
months old.

And she really is. She is doing so well. Housetraining is going pretty good, only a few accidents. We started puppy classes last Friday and she learned how to sit, come, stand up and lay down after 1 class. My husband is amazed at what a calm puppy she is. Don't misunderstand, Daisy does have her energetic fun and crazy moments like when she does her "puppy run" around the yard and makes us laugh so much! She loves to walk around with my husband when he waters the flowers and she loves to play in the daylilies and sit on the flowers! We've only had her for 3 weeks this Sunday but I don't know what I did before we had her. Barb and Joel, Toledo |
 I
did take my
daughter to
the airport
yesterday. She
thought we
were going to
there for
something
else. When
they brought
the dog out
from behind
the counter,
she was like,
"look dad
isn't that dog
really cute?"
I was like
yeah it really
is, and guess
what, it's
yours. She was
in disbelief
until I showed
her our name
written on the
crate. It was
like a Kodak
moment...she
was shocked. I
can also tell
you that thepup is a real hit on our block. Every one who saw her said she was so cute.
Brian, New York |
The
picture
attached was
taken the day
we brought her
home.
She is already
up to 10 lbs.
getting bigger
each day! We
picked her up
at your house
on the 4th of
July.
You're husband
was standing
at the door
holding her
and I thought
to myself, I
sure hope this
is our puppy
he is holding
because it was
"love at first
sight". I'm
sorry I wasn't
able to meet
you after all
our emails
back and forth
but Doug was
so nice and
took care of
all the
business. The
3 hour ride
home was no
problem at
all. She slept
on my lap for
most of the
time with just
one potty
break.
She is so
beautiful.
I just can't
stop looking
at her cute
little curly
face. I
love
everything
about her. Her
coloring is a
combo of Lucy
and Rudi which
is perfect and
her BLACK nose
just tops it
off!!!
You were so
right in your
email when you
told me.
"She is
exactly what
you are
looking for".|
I
picked Jaxon
up from Nick's
house today
(as I do often
when Nick is
working) so
that he could
come over and
play at our
house! :-) As
you can see he
loves to ride
in the
car. He
puts his head
on the center
console and
stares at me
when we
drive. I
love the first
pic on the
left that
shows him
smililng
:-D
Also, he likes
to ride behind
the seat
belt. I
have to fasten
it or it
beeps, so he
sometimes
crawls behind
it! Wanda |

The timing of our puppies last year, allowed us to become the favorite gift of the season. The emails and phone calls blessed our whole family. "He is a gift of the Magi. Today a pug met him and wanted to play. At first the puppy was being rolled around and then he caught on for an equal match. In just 3 days he runs twice as fast. He is still all paws. It looks like he will be fully house broken very soon, but his bladder is small and he loves water. He is sublime. Thanks", Tom, FL "We are tooooo busy playing with our new puppy. We are calling him Cooper. He is so happy, playful, and loving, not at all afraid. Our two children (16 and 18) are on the floor with him, laughing at his antics. Thanks soooo much, he is already a part of our family from the first minute he kissed our fingers through the crate." Susan, John, Kristen and Ryan from Denver. "We are still loving every minute of Ebony although the boys are considering changing her name to "Chuey" as that seems to fit a bit more but nothing has been approved by mom/dad. She is the most sweetest puppy ever and is bringing so much joy to our boys, especially my son with Tourettes/OCD. We let her sleep with him until it is time for us to go to bed, then we put her in her kennel. They are forming a very strong bond! All the elderly people loved seeing her and she got lots of hugs and petting that morning! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, you made ours the best in the world!!" "Well,
it's been a
busy day here
today. I met
some of my
cousins and
aunts as we
had several
visitors and
everyone
seemed real
nice. They all
thought I was
adorable and
well behaved
and I was the
center of
attention.
Lola is
Sarah's
daughter and
she really
loves me. I
think I love
her also but
it may take me
a while since
this is all
new to me. I
seem to be
fitting right
in though and
the transition
is going
smoothly. I
slept in my
crate next to
my Grandma
last night and
only went out
one time
during the
night when I
heard Grandma
getting up to
go to the
restroom. She
is real nice
and likes me a
lot. They are
all so happy I
decided to
come to live
with them. I
was surprised
to see all the
Christmas
presents under
the tree just
for me.
I still miss
you all so
much though
and I will
keep in
touch."
Love, Ruthie,
Kentucky
He
just turned
one today. I
attached a pic
that was
featured on a
doodle
calendar for
2010 (he made
August) He is
a total
blessing. Such
a sweetie. She
is
amazing...my
husband and I
are totally in
love with her
already!
She snuggled
the whole way
home. My mom
had her last
night and she
was
perfect.
I can't wait
to see the
kids' faces
tomorrow
morning. I
will
definitely Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Kara, Ohio |

Hi Kari and Doug, I just wanted to send you a note and a few pics of Finn. He is just over 4 months old now and is absolutely wonderful. He had a little face trim the other day so we can see those beautiful eyes again and weighed in at 24.9 lbs at his 4 month check up. What a great guy he is. He has been house trained pretty much from the first week and he now rings a bell hanging from the door to let us know when he wants to go out. He is so social with everyone we meet as well as other dogs, even though he was a little cautious for the first few weeks with any dog bigger than him. Not anymore!! He is playful and great with the other dogs but is a gentle loving boy at home. So far he is keeping his color but with his face trim we can see more Uluroo. I hope things are going well with you. We continue to enjoy visiting your website and see his siblings and "cousins" as they come along .More beautiful pups. Thank you so much for such a beautiful smart healthy and loving dog. Take care, Gina
|
|||||||
We absolutely love her! She is adorable and smart. Only one accident in the house so far and she can sit on command. It’s obvious she was well cared for and loved before she came to us. Looking forward to many years of happiness with her. Thanks so much, Julie |
|||||||
Sadie is adjusting nicely and she and Chance are having a good time, but Chance is also having an adjustment period and he does not want to share the love the rubs, hugs, and kisses. Cedric, Delaware |
I'm
Dean, Visnja's
husband and
happy owner of
Charlie. He's
a wonderful
little puppy
and seems
quite happy in
his new home.
He's also very
intelligent
and is finding
his place in
our pack quite
quickly.
He also sleeps
a lot during
the day and
especially
after a big
run around
outside. He is
sleeping
though the
night as well
and wakes
around 5:30am.

Brady our
loveable boy
is doing
great! He is
loving the
beach at lake
Michigan. He
is small at 10
pounds but
eats like a
champ, we all
love him
dearly!
 Kari
and Doug here
is a photo of
Roscoe who is
now 3 months
old. He
weighed 5.4
lbs on his 1st
the day after
he arrived and
6.5 two weeks
later.
He is a great
little guy
with lots of
personality.
He slept
through the
night in his
crate from the
very first
night we had
him.
Yeah
Roscoe!
After 3 weeks
he is not
totally
housetrained,
but we have
him on a
regular
scheduled for
visits outside
that has
minimized the
number of
accidents.
Roscoe is
really smart
and
affectionate.
He is exactly
what we were
hoping for in
an Australian
Labradoodle.
Kevin and Leslie, Denver, CO |

We are stopped constantly and asked about him. His face has the sweetest expressions and my boys just adore him. I have never had one day of regret about getting a second dog. Please keep up the great work! Julie, PA |

Her name is
Leila.
She is
beautiful,
happy,
playful, calm,
well-socialized
and
smart.
She has not
had one
accident in
the
house.
She has her
potty spot on
our
lawn.
She slept
through the
night last
night from
about 10-5:30,
woke up and
went potty,
played for an
hour and went
back to sleep
until 8.
She has a
crate with a
divider.
We keep the
door open and
she goes in
and out of it
all day.
She brings her
toys in there
to play.
Leila is comfortable around all of the neighborhood dogs. She acts like she's known all of them her whole life. My kids take her everywhere in the neighborhood to play with their friends and go to the park. Leila is so comfortable. She just goes with the flow and seems so laid back in her new home. We could not have gotten a better dog. Thank you for everything! Cynthia, IL |
I wanted to drop you a note about our growing Cooper. What a joy in our lives!!!!
He has been an incredibly happy, well behaved puppy who is now pushing about 25 pounds! After a few challenging first days...he quickly settled into our home. He has done very, very well with crate training and comes to work with us every day. I know you will be happy to know that in 3 months with us he has only had a handful of accidents....and even with his serious puppy energy, he hasn't been the least bit destructive. He's comfortable driving, playing, walking in the city or in the park. We feel fortunate he was born in your home....because the "chaos" of your loving family with lots of kids has made him immediately comfortable with our family, friends and coworkers. He especially loves our nieces and nephews. The only time Cooper pulls on his leash is to get to children so he can give them his love.
Jay and Stan, Cincinnati

Thanks
again for
making our
family
complete this
year!
I hope your families are doing well this holiday season, we send our love! Dixie
understands
when we say
"Grandma and
Grandpa are
coming" and
barks and
starts running
around just
like the
kids. It
is so
funny.
Once we were
in the car
driving to
visit my
parents and
Roman said,
"this is
Grandma's
road", Dixie
stood up in
her crate and
let out a big
bark-yelp type
thing and we
all
laughed.
She is
the smartest
dog I have
ever met!
Dawn and Randy |
Riley
has turned out
to be a
wonderful
dog. He
is so sweet
and easy to
train
(although his
owners haven't
been so good
about him
jumping on
people coming
to our
door!).
He has truly
become a
member of the
family and he
"forced" me
into a great
routine of
walking
several miles
a week.I so
appreciate
your help in
those first
few weeks and
am glad it all
worked out and
that I endured
through
it! My
daughter,
Maddie, still
takes great
care of him
and we visit
the website
frequently to
get a glimpse
of the new
pups. I
keep
threatening to
come just for
a visit but my
husband is
afraid that I
won't leave
without
another puppy!
Amy, Cincinnati
Hello Kari. Just wanted to send you a few pictures of our 21 month old labradoodble, Jake. What joy he has brought to our family. His gentle nature and intelligence is such an amazing combination. So many people have stopped by our home to ask what kind of dog he is because he is so cute and well behaved. We have recommed you often to friends looking for a dog and Jake's cousin became part of our neighbor's family just this past fall.
Jodi, Columbus,Ohio
Dear Kari
&
Doug,
Just thought I
would send
over a few
pictures and
let you know
how I'm doing.
I am growing
like a weed, I
weighed in
today at
42lbs. and I
am only 41/2
months
old. I'm
a "BIG"
boy! My
Mom & Dad
they're the
best.... They
really spoil
me!
They call
Simba the King
and
I am the
Prince.I graduate from puppy school in 2 weeks, I am sooo smart!
Sometimes
I eat
something I
shouldn't (
like
my Mom's
shoes) I only
do it to keep
them on there
toes.
I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Love, Ozzie Doodle, PA
Hello
Lambert
Family,
Thanks again for the wonderful puppy. We are having so much fun with Diego. He is like our little child. We could not have asked for a better puppy. Jesse and Hannah, Columbus, Ohio

Hi Kari and Doug!
Just wanted to update you on Murphy! He is doing great and is the sweetest, smartest, most wonderful dog! We are so happy with him, he is such a great addition to our family. He is so playful and friendly and loving and amazing with our boys. Its hard to believe we have only had him for 5 weeks. He is basically housebroken, he goes to the door when he needs to go out. We couldn't be happier with him, thank you for such an amazing dog! He is about 14 pounds now and at least from the pictures on your website he looks just like his daddy! I am attaching a picture of Murphy with our boys - it was just taken on their first day of school. We have been recommending you to all of our friends who are considering getting a dog!
Thanks again, Marisa |
He did so good. No accidents so far. He is just a lover. Loves to hug and kiss. My four year old says he loves me now that I got him his puppy:) He slept in his crate all night with no fussing. We had his crate in my bedroom. The four year old slept on a futon next to him all night. He did not fuss in the morning either. He just wiggled around in the crate. I let him out. He went #1 twice and #2 once. He is quite good. Thank you sooo much for the great book of instructions. That was very helpful and gave me a lot of confidence. Also, thanks for the great communication. I will keep you posted. We already love him. It was instant. Thanks, Stephanie |
Sampson
is doing so
well...growing

We're
from Virginia
and we
purchased our
"Macy" from
you in
February 2006.
She is from a
litter between
Bella and
Kodiak. Well,
I know you
hear this all
the time, but
Macy truly is
"the perfect
dog!" She's
been a great
addition to
our family and
we couldn't
love her more.
She's
beautiful, has
an even/gentle
temperament,
is
loving/playful/smart,
etc. We are so
thrilled to
have her in
our family! Hi
Kari,
Just thought I'd give you an update on Mackenzie's 18 month progress. We have completed novice obedience class. She participated in a "Show 'N Go" obedience trial (just a practice trial, nothing official) this past Sat. She was off leash and did well for the first time in such a situation. However, it was clear where we need more work! We will start agility class in August. We think she will enjoy that because she creates her own obstacle course in the back yard, and she's a great frisbee player. She is such a great dog. Very lovable and lots of fun.

Lucy has added so much to our lives. She is doing remarkably well (not that I'm prejudiced or anything). She is a hit with our community and at the vet's office. The vet's office has a groomer onsite and we took advantage of a special puppy grooming offer. The groomer owns a goldendoodle so she was familiar with the coat type -- hooray!!
When I get home from work this evening I will give her an extra hug from the Lambert family!

I
wanted to send
you a long
overdue update
on Chloe. She
turned 6
months old
last week, and
is just a
delight to us.
She is such a
beautiful pup
- everywhere
we go people
ask what kind
of dog she is,
and comment on
how cute she
is. She has
such a nice
temperment -
so loving and
great with my
boys - she
loves to play
with them, and
is so tolerant
of them. Chloe
loves to play
outside - she
loves to run
as fast as she
can from one
end of our
yard to the
next, with her
ears flapping
in the breeze
- boy is she
fast.
Regards, Lisa and Jay
Rugby (still cute a as peanut!) is doing GRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!!
He is the most awesome little man! We love him more than words can express! =) I was just visiting your site and saw the precious photos of your red babies!!!!!!! Congratulations on another perfect litter!!!!
Loving thoughts, Monica
He
is such a
lovely puppy.
He's almost 8
months now and
is quite a hit
with everyone
he meets and
greets in the
neighborhood.
We've settled
into our
routine and he
goes to the
dog park every
evening to
play with all
of his
friends. It is
truly so
enjoyable to
watch them all
run around and
play. We get
so many
compliments
and questions
about
him--where we
got him and
about his
breed.
We are so thankful for him every day--he has brought us unending joy and we thank you again for bringing him into our lives.
Hi Kari,
Just an email to let you know how Bailey is doing. He is a joy! He has had his second vet visit and weighed in at 5 lbs. 1/2 ounce. He is such a sweetheart, slept in his crate at night right away with no problems and still loves his crate. He is happy all the time when he is with us.
He loves to ride in the car, too, he just curls up and sleeps. We try to take him lots of places. His first outing when we had him only a few days, was to a high school football game, because we didn't want to leave him home in his crate that long of a time. We took him in a carrier bag which looked like a purse and no one ever knew he was in there. (we kept him in there the whole time because he hadn't had that final Parvo virus vaccination at the time.) He did great!!!! He loves high school football.
We start puppy school soon.
thanks so much, Betsy
I'm not sure what happened after we said good-bye. I was in a box and my box moved from place to place. After a long time and many moves, a tall man looked down at me and said, "There you are, Missy! Well, hello! How are you?" Then he poked his fingers through my box to say hello, and I said hello back. He picked up my box and carried me to a bigger box. He put my box inside the bigger box and got inside the bigger box with me. Then the bigger box made a rumbling sound and started to move. It moved this way and that way, sometimes moving slowly and sometimes moving fast. When the bigger box finally stopped, the tall man got out and took my box with him to a really big box. The tall man carried my box inside the really big box and put my box down inside of it. I heard many voices. Then my box opened and I saw three faces smiling at me. At first I did not know what to do. I had been wanting to get out of my box for a long time, but I did not know the faces. After a while, I decided to leave my box. I think that I made a good choice because I found water, a chew toy, and three very happy kids. Since then I have been discovering many new things and having a lot of fun with the tall man, the three kids, and their boss.
I
am sending you
a picture of
me as I left
my box because
I left it for
a wonderful
place!
Please visit
me if you ever
get the
chance.
With love,
Maya
I don't know if you remember me, I'm Valerie Silvestri and we adopted a puppy from you about a year and a half ago. He is cream colored and we named him Max. I just wanted to update you on how everything is, it's great! We love him to pieces. He keeps us on our toes but we love it! He is doing great and everyone loves him. I thought that people used to say how great he was because he was such a cute puppy, but they still say that he is the most well tempered dog that they have ever met and that he has a great disposition. Even though he is not a puppy any more he is still the cutest thing I have ever seen. |
Hi
Kari.
Jessie is
doing great!
She is a big
Steeler fan,
as you can see
from the
excitement on
her face!
Potty training
is much
improved and
she's pretty
much over
mouthing.
She's such a
good dog. Take
care.
Renee, PA
Hi Kari and Doug! I hope you and your family are all doing well. We just wanted to say hello and give you an update on how Bailey doing. Yesterday she turned 8 months. She is now 44.5lbs and just too funny. She has wiggled her way into every aspect of our lives and we just love it. She is the mascot for Walt’s softball, the pride of the neighborhood, and everyone just loves her. Since we have gotten her, Bailey has very much developed her own personality. She is energetic at times, dramatic when she doesn’t get her way (she actually seems like she sighs and pouts), and is always so happy to see and meet people. I have to thank you both so much. She has just been perfect. She has her friends in the neighborhood, and her friends at the dog park.

Chester is now
2! And still
wonderful.
I am
passing on
your
information to
our friends
here in
Minneapolis.
Hope you
have a puppy
for them, they
lost their lab
this past year
(old age) and
would like to
have a dog
with the
benefits of
the doodles.
So,
please take
care of them.
Oh, are
you breeding
smaller
doodles than
Chester these
days? He
is around
32lbs. Still
cuter than
cute. And full
of it
sometimes.
A bit
chatty with
strangers, but
loves his
family and we
love him!
Trying
to convince
Mark he needs
a friend......
Thanks again
for our family
member!

Max is doing
AWESOME!!!
He is 4
months old now
and weighs
about 25
pounds.
He is
house trained
now
(no
accidents for
the past
month).
We have
a spot outside
next to the
side of the
house that he
goes to the
bathroom in.
He is
great about
this as
well.
He is still a beautiful chocolate fleece puppy. His coat is Fantastic!!! Wavy and butter soft! And best of all, not one hair has be shed yet!!! He is in puppy school now and doing great. He is picking up all the commands very quickly. My 7 and 9 year old daughters taught him to climb the rock wall on their play set and slide down the slide. It is so cute to watch him do it! J Thanks again for such and awesome puppy!!!!!
Shannon
I cannot tell you how many people stop me to ask what kind of dog he is and tell me how cute he is. My sister absolutely loves him. She's been to my house more times since we got Max then she had been in the 10 years I've been married. When we take him to the vet or to the groomer everyone falls all over him.
He is the best dog we could have ever gotten. We can't imagine our lives without him now. I have been giving your name to people like crazy! Everybody wants a labradoodle!
Valerie
Kari,
I just wanted
to pass along
the news that
Mocha is now a
Therapy
Dog.
Even though
she was only a
little over a
year old at
the time, she
passed all
three testing
sessions with
Therapy Dogs
Inc. with
flying
colors.
The evaluator
was totally
amazed the
first time she
met Mocha,
because of her
calmness,
poise and
friendliness.
I now go on a
twice-weekly
basis to visit
in a nearby
hospital and
nursing
home.
One day last
week, a lady
with dymentia
got this
really "clear"
look in her
eyes and
talked about
the dog she
used to own
for 15
years.
Sometimes the
nursing staff
gets cheered
up
by seeing
Mocha, and
probably
passes that
right along to
the
patients. Often,
we stop in at
the hospice
wing and the
people there
are
so touched
by
Mocha's smiling
face!
The evaluator
wants me to be
a part of the
Ann Arbor
Schools'
visiting dog
program, where
Mocha will go
visit
classrooms.
Thanks for raising her right! --Jane, MI
Hi,
Kari
and Doug, Just
a brief update
on Cassie. She
has
successfully
completed
"Puppy
Pre-school".....complete
with diploma.
.......she's
98% on house
training
...... weighs
22 pounds
...... and not
a day goes by
that she
doesn't make
us smile and
laugh out loud
with her
antics.
She is
sooooooo
lovable.She
had a
wonderful few
days at the
cottage
again...everyone
that meets her
falls
instantly in
love........both
humans and
canines. She
is madly in
love with a
young male
Puli that
lives across
the
street.
Hope your new
litter is as
good as this
one.

Hi Kari -
Hope all is
well with you
and your
family.
Doc had his
2nd vet appt.
this Am and
weighing in at
17 llbs.
We are
crazy about
this
dog. He
couldn't be
cuter.
I'll send
pics. He
is healthy,
close to being
house-broken
and great
temperament.
He's the
first
labradoodle in
our town and
getting lots
of attention
at the vets
and
groomers.
Your pups are
a wonderful
representation
of the
breed.
Thanks again
for a great
pup!
Carol
We
have had an
awesome
weekend with
Tyson!
He is so
wonderful, I
just cannot
tell you how
happy we are
with him.
Last
night I moved
off the aero
bed next to
his cage
onto the couch
in the room
next to
him. He
slept soundly
until around
6:30
am (7:30) your
time
when he
got up to
potty, eat and
play.
The night
before he did
the same
thing...no
crying at all
in the
night! I
will
probably to
back to my bed
tonight. :)
He
is going potty
outside and is
doing
beautifully!
Only 2
accidents in
the house that
were our fault
and it's not a
big deal on
the
wood floors
anyway.
For now I have
rolled up my
good rugs on
the wood
floors (I am
just going to
put them away
for a couple
of months) and
for now he
runs around in
that area
which is a
large
kitchen/sitting
area. Of
course
when we are in
the other
areas watching
tv or whatever
we bring him
with us and
he sleeps on
our lap.
His
personality is
showing more
by the
minute.
He is
laid back but
so curious and
bright.
He plays with
his toys and
seems to
be
understanding
which things
are his
toys. He
already has a
couple of
favorites and
goes to them a
lot. He
struts around
a lot and
seems to be
very
happy.
He loves
to be
outside.
He
was much
of yesterday
and
"helped" rake
leaves.
He jumped
right in the
pile one
time.
God's
Blessings!
Deb

I
can't thank
you and your
family enough
for our
wonderful
companion.
You were so
nice to deal
with and very
understanding
of all my
emails.
You know what
you're doing
and I am so
glad that I
found you and
your
dogs!! I
am honestly
already
thinking about
when we should
get puppy
#2 and aside
from Tom,
you'll be the
first to
know.
I'll
stay in touch
and keep you
updated as to
how Roscoe is
doing and also
send
pictures.
Please pass
along our
thanks to your
family
and anyone
else who had a
hand in
Roscoe....
especially Caleb's
family
too!
Thank
you so
much...we
couldn't be
happier!
p.s.
I thought Tom
would be the
most passive
about
getting a dog,
but he LOVES
having
Roscoe.
He plays with
him, snuggles
with him, and
loves the fact
that he
follows him
around and
will plop at
his
feet just to
be
close.
He was home
while I took
the kids trick
or
treating.
Roscoe was
laying by his
chair and when
the doorbell
would ring
he'd simply
pet him,
answer the
door then come
back.
Roscoe would
stay put
and go right
back to sleep
once Tom was
back in his
chair!
He couldn't
believe how
calm he
was.
Needless to
say, we're ALL
happy to have
him in
our
family.
Kari,
Just
wanted to send
you a quick
note to let
you know
how Mackinac
is
doing.
He seems to be
adjusting very
well to his
new
home.
We just love
him. I
have never
seen such a
relaxed
dog. He
loves to
stretch out
(and I
mean really
stretch
out) and
sleep on the
floor.
He usually
lets us know
when he needs
to go outside
by crying at
the
door.
He spent today
"taking care"
of our son who
was home sick
from
school. Mack
stayed really
close and made
sure he was
ok.
Everyone loves
him and he
really likes
to play with
the neighbor
kids in our
backyard.
What a great
dog!
Thanks for
everything.
We'll keep you
posted.

Teddy is absolutey the most adorable puppy. He has changed my life, he is such a joyous fun little dog. Teddy weighs 13 pounds now and looks exactly, and I mean exactly, like Violet. He is house trained and crate trained. He is happy to go in his crate, maybe because I save special treats just for the crate. I can go run errands for 2 - 21/2 hours and he is fine, never cries. Maybe I am house trained but he is only 4 months and 1 week and sometimes he sits by the door and other times he barks to go out. Rarely has accidents I wish you could see him bouncing through the woods you would laugh. We could make a Disney movie of him. He especially likes to leap through the pachysandra.
We have had our first "class" and he is so smart! He stays right with me on the leash, comes immediately when I call him, is starting to learn that jumping is not the best way to get a treat.
The girl next door is crazy about him and wanted your web site. He recognizes her car and I can hardly contain him when he sees it!
People actually stop their cars and ask me about him when we are out walking. He is a hit at the groomers, everyone wants to pet him He has the most friendly happy disposition.
Jill
Latte is turning out to be one awesome puppy and a real "daddy's girl" She has had zero (not one) accident in the house so far, loves to just lay on the couch next to me when I am working and loves going for rides in the car. She likes to chew a little so I have to watch that, but what puppy doesn't! Thanks for letting me have her, she is awesome!!!!

Hi Kari, it was great to hear from you again. Annie is still doing awesome and we love her so much! She is soooo beautiful! Whenever we take her out, everyone stops us and asks us millions of questions about the breed.

Kari, We
want to thank
you again for
you
hospitality
today and for
letting us see
your wonderful
Labradoodles.
The puppies
were cute and
well behaved
as expected,
but the older
dogs had the
best
temperament in
any dog I have
ever
met. My
family always
had a dog when
I was growing
up and there
are a lot of
dogs through
out our
family, and I
was very
surprised at
what a good
feeling I got
from all the
Labradoodles.
It was much
more than I
expected.
Mark

Hi Kari, Just
wanted to let
you know how
happy we are
with
Didge.
He is so sweet
and
calm!!
He slept most of the way home yesterday, no carsickness thank goodness. He also slept all night in his crate without so much as a whimper!! This is too good to be true! Hopefully, tonight will be the same!
It was nice to meet you and your family and all of your lovely Labradoodles yesterday. We'll recommend your doodles to anyone who is interested!

Chauncey is quite the popular dog in the neighborhood. We have had a constant parade of visitors. Mostly kids. Everyone agrees he is the cutest thing around. The drive home was easy. He played for awhile then slept for a good portion of the time in his create. He only cried for an hour each of the 1st two nights in his cage. Now he only barks for 1-2 minutes. But he gets into everything. He has taken to playing with the tags on the underside of the kitchen table chairs. The house training thing is going slowly. We can predict by watching him when he has to go but he has not figured out how to "tell us" he has to go.
We took him to the vet and he was the center of attention. No one had ever seen one before. So everyone in the place had to take a look. He has really figured out how to play up his cuteness and get lots of attention.

Mocha is doing great! She is doing great in school and with the private trainer, the woman can not get over how smart she is and how cute she is too!!!! We had 2 1/2 feet of snow last sunday and she LOVED it! She hopped in and out of it with the girls and just had the best time! Mocha went to the vet today and she got rave reviews!! Everyone loved her by the time we were finished there were 6 people that worked there hanging all over her!!! He said that she looks great and he LOVED her disposition he said that he felt as though she was going to make a great adult dog.

Wembley is wonderful!!! It took him some time to get used to us, but he if now finally being more cuddly. I guess he has soooo much he would rather do than cuddle, like playing with his toys and eating!!! .... He is also soooo funny...He is just perfect!!! Thank you sooooo much for him. ... I love him sooo much. ... Thank You so Much for Wembley, he is GREAT!!!!
Mitzi

I'm sorry that I didn't e-mail sooner,, but we have been very busy with Gizmo. He is the love of my life! I can't even begin to express how happy I am with him....Thanks again, and he is adjusting well. He fits right in with my family and life. We couldn't be happier!
Jody
New Jersey
Melba is absolutely fabulous. Of course the crate sits empty. She sleeps in bed with either my husband and I, Rebekah or Tessa. She makes it from 10:30 to about 7:00, no accidents....You can certainly quote me, you were one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with and I just recommended you to a couple of people who are debating about a dog.
