Moose
Moose’s snout is very white and he is growing fast. He loves to be outside. He was housebroken in a very short time. He is also not crated at night. He is also a very sociable dog. He goes back to school school on Wednesday. He will see his first snow tomorrow night.
He is a very lovable dog
Jeanne and Jim
Canyon
Canyon is 80 pounds and tall enough to just slide his head right up onto the kitchen table. He is just the sweetest and best dog ever. We love him so much and he and our son are best buddies. Also everywhere we go people want to know what kind of dog he is, they think he looks like a big stuffed teddy bear :)

Toby
Toby looks great after being groomed. I was so worried because when I took him in, the groomer had to pull him while I pushed, just to get him in the door! He was there all day because I was at work. When we arrived to pick him up he was laying quietly in a kennel until he saw us, and boy was he excited. I had to do a double take because he looked so good! And let me tell you the groomer fell in love with him. She had told me when I dropped him off that she would have to do a lot of training to get him used to all her equipment, so naturally I was a little concerned. But she said he was awesome and didn't give her a bit of trouble. She fell in love with his personality, his beautiful eyes and she could not believe the no shedding. She also complimented us on how well we are keeping him brushed, because he had no mats. I have to give that credit to my husband, he brushes Toby every night, it is their "bonding time". The groomer questioned me again as to what breed he was, when I told her he was a standard Australian multi generational labradoodle, she looked at me kind of funny. I told her I had to admit I wasn't sure what all that meant. I just knew he was a great dog. Her commit was "well whatever that all means he is the perfect dog." She said she grooms a couple of other "labradoodles" that are nothing like Toby, and she cringes when someone calls her to groom one. That made me kind of sad wondering what other "breeders" are doing. So I wanted to let you know you're doing a wonderful job. Toby came from great genes! She told me Toby was welcome anytime and if my husband ever needed a job she would hire him!! LOL She even reduced her fee because she enjoyed him so much. I am hoping our camera will arrive any day, after it had to be repaired, and i will send pictures.

Rudy
You know at first I told you he seemed scared of my husband? Well--not anymore--they are best buddies now. Rudy loves it when Pete gets down in the floor to pet him. Rudy actually climbs up in his lap. (That's the only time he's allowed to do that.)
Funny--we boarded him for the weekend, and I was so worried about him the whole time. When we picked him up the man said that his wife was so smitten that they took him home with him and he slept with them and watched tv and ate potato chips. Wow--he doesn't even get to do that at home! He had a great time.

Julia
Julia is really precious and is learning fast. She’s a natural retriever and loves her tiny pool too. I plan to take her to a friend’s house to try out swimming in the big pool before it starts getting cooler here.
Julia continues to grow...and grow....and, well, grow. She has a great
personality, very loving and devious, too. She plays "basketball", rolling
her basketball around the yard with her front paws and nose. Very smart and
energetic. A great retriever....

Sunny
Sunny is doing great and we absolutely adore having him in our family! He is growing so big – he weighs 30 lbs now, his eyes are staying a gorgeous yellow/green, and his coat is gorgeous when he is not covered in mud. He LOVES water and dirt. Even if it is just the water from his water bowl…..he’ll splash it all over the deck, himself, and Hershey….then run off through the backyard and straight to any dirt area. He is also a natural watch dog! Hershey has never barked once since we’ve had her and runs to hide on the deck if even a squirrel enters the yard. Not Sunny, he wants to be clear that this is his family and he plans to look out for us! He even takes care of Hershey…while she hides up on the deck, he’ll go patrol the yard to see what needs his attention!
He adores Hershey and she is in love with him. They play non stop together. Then they pass out for a good nap together. Then they wake up and go right back to playing again. Sunny’s temperment has been exceptional and the two dogs really compliment one another well. I also have to tell you that Sunny boy is a great obedience student. He listens and he is a quick study! Such a smart boy. He is setting a good example for Hershey.
This week he went to the dog park for the first time, since we gave him his final rabies shot last week. He was a little nervous at first, but then after warming up to the place he had a blast. As soon as he realized he did not need to stay with us and protect us…he let himself go and play and have fun being a dog. He was the draw for sure – everyone wanted to know about him and those gorgeous eyes! Such a hunk.
Our Doodles have brought a much needed element of love, laughter, and joy to the family to keep us all focused on our love for one another and living life everyday with joy.

Hank
Aida
Our little Aida continues to become more loving everyday. Dwight is smitten with her. She loves to start watching for him when it starts to get dark at night. Then she goes nuts when he comes home. The other night she was on her hind legs hopping up and down like a little circus dog waiting for him to put his things down so he could love on her. She doesn't mind if he's dirty. I make him shower before he kisses me.
Suzanne
Stout
Stout is doing great. He likes to run with Chris. He loves his pal Kiko. Stout is a sweetheart. Wish I could have another. -Pam
Fenway
Hey Karen! Fenway goes with us everywhere and was a great companion on our short runs when we were training for our marathon. He is an amazing dog!
Jaime and Brent
Chloe
Chloe made it home ok, and she is just settling right in! We took her to a lake on the way home, and she peed, and we played in the sand, and she followed us all over. She was so cute, how she didn't pay attention to anyone else, just stayed on our heels. At home she jumped and pranced all over the grass, romping to each one of us. The cats are just fine with her. She is way smaller than them. They are all very curious. No hissing or swatting at all. We gave her a bath, and she tolerated that well, but that really tuckered her out, and she fell asleep on Nathan's bed under the covers. We are in love with her. Thanks so much,
Lesa

Coho
Coho is great! Very very healthy with lots and lots of energy. She's getting huge, and has crazy hair that dreads like crazy- SO SO CUTE!!.. You did an absolutely amazing job with her- she adjusted so well to our family, and is such a lover!
Things are great.. She weighs 35 pounds- perfect size.. Loves the water, ball, and as much cuddle as she can get..-- GREAT DOG!!!
Kim
Sparky
Sparky is really smart and calm. He understands "sit" and "come" and "down" pretty well. Mostly, he has stopped jumping up on folks and sleeps through the night from about 10:30 pm to 6:30 am. At nap time, he takes himself to his crate. He is such a sweet family dog and is content to just be in the room with you (he's sitting under my computer table right now licking my toes!). He has a blast chasing falling or wind blown leaves and running through the tall grass. In the evenings, he is much calmer than the mornings and even will sit quietly while Penelopy (the cat) saunters around. I took him to the barn and he was fascinated with the horses (and horse poop -- candy! -- but eventually would "leave it"). No barking or pesky behavior around the horses, very respectful while also very curious.

Maizie
She has been really good. We are watching her, crating her when we can't and taking her outside a lot and so far no accidents...don't think she's really trained... we just are =). She also has been awesome about her crate. I have heard her moving around with a little whimper around 2 am so I am taking her outside to go potty and putting her back in bed... but other than that she has slept peacefully in her crate both nights. We ended up getting a metal one for when we leave the house (just in case she decides to wreak havoc on the soft one) but she seems to be doing fine in the crate... a little protest at first sometimes when we put her in... but she calms right down and rests or chews on a bone. The kids have been loving playing with her and I think almost every neighbor kid has stopped by to see her. We are working with her on the biting/chewing... she wants to maul everything! But she can be redirected to her bones/toys and loves playing with those too... so hopefully soon the little love nips ( and the desire to chew the edges of the rugs) will stop. I am just trying to keep the kids consistent with her... she seems to be worse with them than us as she thinks they are puppies too =).
Thanks again for our beautiful pup.

Kitty
We LOVE Kitty! She graduated from Puppy Kindergarten, and went from there to the level 2 class. After only TWO sessions, they said that she is ready to go up to level 3!! Our Kitty is SO smart! We were working on down-stays today, and she was up to about 30 seconds without moving a muscle! We are amazed at how mature she acts. We already trust her to have the run of the house at night – as long as we put out the trash before bed. That way she lets herself out if she needs to go potty. And she waits until my alarm goes off in the morning before pouncing on me for snuggles and hugs. Then she runs to wake up Garion … and she knows that I don’t like to have my face licked, but that Garion LOVES to be awakened with puppy kisses.
Kitty has the most calm personality – at puppy socialization class, they would pair her up with the shy and frightened dogs to help draw them out. She knows which ones want to play rough-and-tumble, and which ones need a more gentle approach. She loves to play with the smaller dogs – the ones that are her size usually outweigh her 2-to-1 and overwhelm her quickly … but she quickly puts them in their place and then plays a nimble game of chase-me to keep them from bowling her over.

Coco
Coco lives in Paonia, CO with the Gillespie’s at the beautiful Azura Studios, gallery and tasting room. Molly and I visited and definitely recommend everyone should stop in, enjoy the art, the view and a glass of wine with Ty , Hellen and Coco.
William
Grizz
He is wonderful. Very smart. Already is taking to his crate with few accidents in the house. His pizza party was great and he has a new play date buddy Leon. He is a small Schnauzer and they got along great. We are having so much fun with him and he is adjusting wonderfully. Everybody loves him and says how "cute" he is. He is already getting taller but his weight is about the same at 12.8 lbs
Allie
Grizz is doing great and is such a wonderful addition to our family. I cannot believe he will already be 2 years old in January! His FAVORITE thing to do is play frisbee and we have worked a lot with him and his mad frisbee skills! Thank you for such a great dog :)
Allie
Lily
Thank you, thank you! What a blessing Lily is. She has been so sweet, curious, fun and affectionate. I can't believe how well she copes with meeting kids, big dogs, new people. And she slept in her crate so well last night. Many thanks to you,

Roscoe
Roscoe is doing so well with our family. He loves everyone including everyone that comes over. He really feels at home now. He can sit well on command and waits patiently by the back door when he needs to go out to use the spot. We are so proud of him. What a great breed of dog. I can really see that he is going to learn so much more in the future. Just wait until we take him to our Michigan house on the beach, boy will he be excited.
I have to tell you that Rob took Roscoe to our Michigan house and he did so well. Our friends out there have dogs and he played and ran around everywhere with no leash. When Rob called him to come he came right by his side. He was very impressed. Our friend couldn't believe how well trained he was at this age. Somehow he opened his crate last night in Michigan and he ended up sleeping on the floor in our bedroom there. Rob said that he slept so well that he thinks that we won't need a crate during the night just during the day if I leave. We are very lucky to have him. I miss him already and he has only been gone one day. I just wanted to let you know how well he was doing. He acts like he is much older then he actually is. He even is going to the door in Michigan to be let out. No accidents. Very smart puppy. It makes it so much easier when you don't have to be stressed out. Thanks - keep up the great work with the pups.
Callie
Callie is doing great. She was very shy and timid at first and was a super mellow pup, but more of her personality is coming out now. She is meeting lots of other dogs on the trail near our home and no longer hides from them!! She can sit and is doing really well at coming when called and she sits quietly when she gets her food. She adores her Kong and Marcolien has been busy making all kinds of fun concoctions for her to eat - frozen peanut butter mixed with her food is a definite favorite!! She is a beautiful little pup and we get many questions as to what type of dog she is, how big etc. -she is a lovely dog.
Anita, Marcolien and family
Bella
Just wanted to let you know that Bella did wonderfully yesterday. We had a great time with her and the kids are totally in love. Colin was up at 6am this morning to play with her. It's so funny watching them together as Bella teaches Colin how to play with a dog. It's been a long time since Loki jumped around and played fetch more than one or two throws! Bella and Loki are doing fine together as well. She ate well yesterday and this morning, and I ordered her food last night. We're off for a walk to the library. Thank you so much for letting us keep her; I love my new little shadow.

Hutch
We just wanted to touch base and give you an update on Hutch. He is doing GREAT!! He has been fantastic. He basically does not whine at all at night and last night he went 7 hrs with out going potty! We are working on the house training, but other than that things have been perfect. He is great with the girls and seems to be very happy in our home. We even gave him a bath on Saturday and he did great. Thanks for all your help. We sure love that little guy!

Ewing
Just wanted to send a note to say hello and tell you how much we are enjoying Ewing (formerly green collar boy). He's an absolute joy. We just took him to get his second set of vaccinations last week and the vet said he's perfectly healthy. He's 20 pounds now and growing everyday. Ewing is fun and active, but also pretty mellow and everyone says he is the most beautiful puppy. And Ewing loves water - his favorite place is our walk in shower! We seem to be past the potty training now. Only one accident in recent memory, but that was after we took down the Christmas tree (his favorite thing!) so I sort of get it. =) He also loves to jump. When we play fetch in the backyard, sometimes he'll jump up and grab the toy right out of my hand before I have a chance to throw it. He's really smart and he's starting to understand commands too. Such a great puppy! Thanks again,
Erin
Lucy
Just wanted to let you know that Lucy is doing great...we are already in love with her. She is so far the best puppy...no accidents, and she goes potty as soon as we let her outside..Also, no crying at night, and she sleeps until 5am.
It takes her a while to warm up to a stranger (which I like), and she already has a little protective streak in her.

Lucy
I just wanted to thank you for giving me the best friend I could ever ask for. We decided to name her Lucy, in which I call her Lucy Lou Lou. Spike absolutely adores her, however he can get quite annoyed, however he sees her as a little sister he must protect, and she sees him as her "teacher". She got to meet Collins, my cousin's 18 week sheltie, he couldn't stay away from her. He tackled her but she kept him in line and played rough with him. She slept perfect the first night. However last night, she squealed and whined because I put her in a crate and wouldn't let her snuggle in my comfy bed with me. She's had a few accidents, in which I know puppies do, however I showed her where to go potty on the training pads, and she just did!! It is so rewarding for me to see she's learning! I also set up her doctor's appointment for her shots tomorrow, also we start puppy classes Thursday and go to potty training classes tonight. She is so stinkin’ cute everyone loves her. She likes to go on walks with Spike, in which she kind of sees as a game almost to get in his way or run into him. She even shared her sun toy with Spike on Saturday night. She is just a joy and I can't thank you enough for giving me the bestest best friend ever!
- Love Lucy, Lauren, Teresa, and Spike
Sadie
Sadie did great at puppy class. She was a bit terrified at the prospect of going into the puppy pen with the other rambunctious youngsters but by the end she was having fun. We practiced walking on the leash in the class and I swear she's only done it one day and she has it down pat. She's a smart cookie that one. Sophie is doing a great job with her. The trainer pulled me aside and said I should be grateful I didn't have one of those OTHER puppies (crazy pure labs.... and I mean CRAZY).
She's learning new things every day... we've mastered going DOWN the stairs, but she's still terrified to go up and has only gone one step up. She's been in the car a few times and loves that. She rode in the back of the 4runner and did great. She's no longer afraid of the dogs next door. OH, and she's sleeping through the night for the last 3 nights. I totally forgot the best news..... She's going about 11pm till 6am. Today it was 5:30-- which is still middle of the night in my book, but today was Scott's day off so he got up with her. Hopefully, she'll learn to sleep in just a little bit longer?
We love her sooo much already! Thanks again-- Leanne
PS I love having a new office mate so I had to take a photo of her under the desk sleeping.
Zoe
Zoe is FANTASIC! We could not have asked for a better dog. Her big brother Corbin is starting to come around. He let’s her do her thing; but still really doesn’t want much to do with her. So far this week she has been coming to work with me during the day; sleeping at my feet and learning to ride in the car.
Thank you again for sending us such a precious little girl. We were in love from the moment we saw her.
Brian and Gretchen
Evie
Evie is doing great. She is super smart, and picks up on everything very quickly. She enjoys her belly rubs, long hikes in the mountains and sleeping right next the kids every night. She is a fully immersed member of the family and we love her very much.

Farley
Farley was accepted and donated to Canine Partners of the Rockies. They help Colorado residents with disabilities by placing highly skilled service dogs with individuals who have mobility limiting conditions and therapy dogs with professionals who provide therapeutic services to people with disabilities. He is with his new puppy raiser. They are volunteers that take a puppy into their home and begin training them to hopefully become a service dog.
Kooper
Hey Karen! Here are a few pictures of Kooper. He weighs 35 pounds now. He is such a joy and so much fun. We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful puppy. Hope all is well with you. Thank you again!

Autumn
I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you what a delightful puppy Autumn is. She has been with us for two and a half weeks now and everyday is a great, fun adventure. She is very affectionate, loves us and our Lab J.B. She was house broken the first week. Thank you for all the time you obviously gave her before she came to our home. She was crate trained and has always slept through the night. She continues to be bashful around new people, but, because of our business she sees people every day and I can see she is growing bolder. When we are alone and she becomes a typical rambunctious puppy. We walk every day and our Lab has taught her to hunt mice, and flush pheasants. Perfect for our lifestyle. Thank you again for such a delightful addition to our family.
Autumn continues to thrive and is a constant joy to us. She is about 23 inches tall and weighs 55 pounds. Must be that Montana air. She has become a champion swimmer this summer and had her first adventure fishing this week. She was surprisingly well behaved on the boat. She, however, is not so sure about this catch and release business..thinks a trout might be rather tasty. The sun was bright for her on the water. Dave shared his sunglasses with Autumn, but they were rather big. We have ordered some dogoggles for her. We’ll see if she will keep them on.
Thanks again for such a great companion.

Remy
He is now one year old. I can't tell you how much my wife and I love this little guy. We take him everywhere. He has been all over California, skiing, boating, and hiking. He goes to restaurants with us and flying with me, ( I am a pilot). He is so full of love. He has never growled at anything or anyone. We have referred everybody to you who has expressed an interest in getting a labradoodle. I don't know if you are still breeding Molly and Soloman, but it was a good match!! I can't thank you enough for bringing him into our lives.
As you know we live on the beach. Remy cannot stay out of the ocean. One picture is him in my office, I bring him everyday. The others are in our backyard which is the beach.
I wish you continued success.
All the best to you and your family.

Molly
Just wanted to share a few pics of our sweet Molly! She is so perfect we couldn't have asked for anything more! As you remember our daughter Tatum has special needs & loves dogs. We were hoping for Molly to be sweet and attentive to her needs. You should see Molly with her, it is the sweetest thing I have ever seen!! Molly will sit with Tatum for up to 30 minutes at a time. From the moment we got her home they have been pals and will be forever friends :) I can tell you Molly is fully aware that Tatum has special needs, she just knows. The best part is Tatum loves her just as much! She gives the perfect kisses and her gentleness as a puppy amazes me. Molly is completely house trained only after a few days and knows the command sit so far. At night she sleeps with us and wakes me with kisses when she needs to go out. We are now up to 6 hours at night. :) We will start her puppy training class on Friday and can't wait! She is so calm. It seems to me that once she does anything 2 or 3 times with praises and training treats she has already learned the command. Such a smart little love! When Molly does get her bursts of energy she will then calm right down. She stays at our feet when we are on the couch and also follows us around everywhere. Yesterday she came along to our son's football game and was an angel. Not shy at all with all the kids and parents who were just in love with her and her green eyes. Anyway we love her and are so thankful you helped us pick the best puppy for our family and our needs. Once it is time for another dog we will for sure be calling you!

Folly
Coming up on five months old, Folly is turning into a wonderful addition to our family. She appears much more Poodle-like in her personality than Lab-like, which has surprised me, but the benefit to this is her obvious intelligence and an extremely strong ability to be in-tune with her human companions. Every morning I think she could not be happier than she is when she sees me and gets to love on me...until my boys wake up and approach her and she loves on them! She just loves us all! Although she is still quite cautious, she does love an adventure and experiences serious offense if we try to get in the car without her. We allowed her to test her swimming skills before the weather got too cool and look forward to more of that next summer as she was just starting to really enjoy it when fall came on. She loves hiking as much as the rest of us do, and we look forward to her being trained well enough to hike off-leash with us next summer. She thought fallen leaves were the greatest thing in the world...until she got to play in the snow. We are training with Pikes Peak Manners in Minutes, where she is learning the fine art of negotiation with a pack of older, more socially experienced dogs. We saw the benefits of this system recently when we took her to Breckenridge and she proved that at 4.5 months, her social skills with other dogs were already superior to those of much older dogs. With this system, her intelligence is highlighted and she learns new commands very quickly. Her overall temperament is wonderful, and she brings great joy to our whole family. -Amy

Tycho
I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how our blue boy, Tycho, is doing and say thank you! He's adorable, happy, and playful. We couldn't have asked for a better puppy! Between Tom taking him to work and me playing with him after work, he's pretty spoiled and always loved. Even though he always gets attention, he does well on his own when we leave the house once in a while. Now that he's lost almost all of his teeth (only one canine left!) he's much less bitey and nippy, which we're happy for. He listens to and knows come, no, sit, shake, down, lets go to work, lets go potty, and give Mom kisses! So far, he's picked things up quickly and easily! Running around outside and playing fetch is one of his favorite things, as is curling up in our laps to take a nap! He's getting pretty big, about 20 lbs. now and his legs are unbelievably long! Though, I'm pretty sure he will forever think he's a lap dog. :) He is starting to look like his real daddy, Max and older siblings. I think he understands that when we say "Mom and Dad", he knows it's me and Tom. I told him he looked like his Dad a few days ago and he looked right at Tom and cocked his head. It was adorable! Again, thank you SO much for our wonderful puppy! We love and adore him! -Annie and Tom
Indy
Can’t believe that it has been more than a year since we’ve gotten Indy! He’s grown, and is a healthy 35 pounder. Everyone we meet just loves his color! He has some cream strands on his back and his nose. He’s super friendly although, quite deceiving when one hears his bark! We always joke that we should have a sign that reads “beware of licking dog!”
We just wanted to let you know that we have moved from NY to MN. I drove out here with 3 kids and Indy over the course of 4 days. I am so glad Indy does not get carsick!! He just loves to look out of the back window (I have a SUV so he sits in the trunk area behind the back seats). He usually ends up sitting on the baby’s folded up stroller so he can peek over the seats and see what’s going on in front!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!

Tanner
What an awesome dog Tanner has become! His first year with us has been wonderful, comical, at times confusing (for him and us), and just what I hoped for in a companion. He is athletic, loves the snow, bikes, kayaks, swims, skis, walks, and sleeps with me mostly and the family when he has to. He is not a people dog just as you said he would be. He puts up with others when I make him. He is never a problem but, because he is so darn beautiful people always want to touch him. He is a great obedience dog and will be great at agility. He plays really well with other dogs and he gets to play regularly with the neighborhood dogs. Great way to burn the energy! He is very energetic outside, but bring him in and he settles right down, love it.
I love his woolly fleece coat. I keep it fairly short (2-4 inches) in the winter so we can get the snow balls out pretty easily. He likes to be groomed so that makes things easier also. I tell him to get his comb and he brings me the pick out of the grooming box.
I would have another Doodle in a heartbeat but you would have to bury my 12 year old border collie and my 19 year old cat. No more puppies till they pass on. But keep me on your list of very satisfied customers.
