Comments About Our Labradoodles from Our Customers


Dear Angelica and Family,

Our precious little angel, Lucy, is home and doing wonderfully! On the way home in the car she fell asleep within 5 minutes and clept all the way to CT! I had to wake her and take her to "go potty" which she finally did, after smelling everything in the yard (and decided it was safe).

She looked at the front steps and decided she wasn't going to go up...but when she saw me going up, she followed me right into the house...where she was met by my two Siamese cats! I don't know who was surprised more - Lucy with her tail wagging and her mouth kissing the male cat right on the nose - or her by his reaction not to move! Her smelled her and decided she wasn't a threat, and turned on his heels and strutted away to his room! The female cat just high-tailed it out not wanting to get her "bath of kisses"!

I introduced her to her new home/crate with her bed and toys, and made her dinner that she wolfed down like a starving Marvin! Ate it all, drank her water and then wanted to come out and play. She played for a few minutes and in 20 minutes I took her out for her "after dinner potty" trip which she did promptly...but not before having a small "accident" on the way out. No big deal...she was just excited I think.

While we were outside, her new Daddy came home, and she watched the car and the man coming up the walk...she wagged her tail as soon as he called her by name and went over to him to cover him with kisses. He was done for! It was instant love at first sight, and into the house our new family went for more playing and kisses! My husband, Rob, is totally in love with her, and her loving nature. She settled in on his lap nicely as I went to make dinner. As soon as she saw that Momma was gone, she whined alittle and she came out to the kitchen to explore. That's when the "Royal Photographer of Lucy" went into action, grabbed his camera and started shooting pix of her. I will send them as soon as he dowloads them for me...

Now, for the best part.....I fell asleep on the sofa where she could see me, and with one eye open, Lucy also fell asleep. She woke at 11PM and started "talking", quietly at first and when I didn't respond to her, she got louder! She's got quite a set of lungs on her too. I got up and took her outside for her evening potty trip...she went almost immediately and we came back inside and I put her in her bed. I left music on for her and a nightlite, she cried for a few minutes and drifted off to sleep and didn't wake up until 8AM this morning! What a good little girl! She ate her breakfast and we went out and she did her duty. Came back in and we played for awhile with the cats peaking around the corner and this fuzzy red thing that had invaded their home! I'm sure everything will be fine with her and the cats in the near future. No problem there.

I finally settled in and looked at all of the papers you sent with Stephen. Thank you for being so organized and making everything so easy for me. And, thank you for the Bible too! She is now taking a nap, lying on her back with her feet in the air! How cute is that? Belly fully exposed and doing just fine. I guess she is relaxed and comfortable.

Thank you all again for raising such a delightful, well-mannered little bundle of love! She is already healing my heart and those of the rest of the family. Words cannot explain how she has captured our hearts!

I will send you another email today with the name, phone numbers, and curriculum vitae for Dr. Pless at Mass General Hospital. I spoke about him yesterday with your husband. Perhaps he can be of some help with your son who has vision problems. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Pless and his knowledge and caring of his patients...he was wonderful to my best friend who recently became blind due to a genetic defect in her DNA. He could not help her with Leber's Disease, there is nothing that anyone can do at present, but research is ongoing and he is keeping us uptodate. I wish your son all good wishes when he gets to see him, should you decide to make an appointment.

Blessings to you and yours,

Barb Metcalf

Hi Angelica,
Here are some recent pictures of Fergie. She has leveled off at 27 pounds and she is very happy and playful always. She is looking forward to meeting her brother white boy once Tracie and Howie have settled him in. Thanks for being so nice. They are very happy.
And we look forward to seeing you this summer.

Take care,
Paul & Sandy Radochia

Best wishes for the new year. This is not a great picture of Teddy but wanted to share how adorable and wonderful he is.

Hi Angelica...happy 2011 to you and your family as well !!! Lulabelle is such a treasure...joyful, affectionate, bright and the dearest pup we've ever known...she is living a very happy life and, in turn, is making our lives even better !!! Thank you, Angelica...Betsey & Don Wright

Happy New Year!
We wanted to send you an updated picture of Daisy, our little Labradoodle that we purchased from you last spring. She has been a joy to own and we love her very much. She is a very happy little dog with a great personality. We have had several people ask us where we bought her and we have given them your name & address. I would recommend this breed to anyone. She is a great companion to both my husband & I. Sincerely,
Tom & Mary Ann Dexter

Angela,

I hope your family has a blessed year as well!!
Laurie and Annabelle Peach

Angelica, Thank you so much for the Happy New Year message. Our puppy "Blue Boy" born November 16 2009 and now know as Baxter Breen O'Malley is doing just great. He came home to Freehold NJ on January 18th 2010. He now weighs 25 pounds and is a healthy energetic boy. We just love him. Hopefully we will be able to send you some impressive pictures. He has fun playing with other dogs and everyone thinks he is the cutest dog they have ever seen. Best Regards to your. Sally O'Malley

      Dear Angelica,
Thanks for the response to my email. We are proud of his strong name � he�s the only Kozak that we know! I know that letting Kozak go must have been very difficult for you, since you had taken care of him for a full six months. However, please know that he is happy, healthy, well-exercised, and very much loved at our home.
I am trying to get some pictures together to send to you in honor of Kozak�s upcoming birthday. I�ll send them as soon as possible.
I see that you have an upcoming litter from Brandywine and Chibbi � hopefully they will all be as beautiful and gentle as their brother, Kozak! I also see that you still have a link to Kozak�s page on your website. I love seeing those puppy pictures when I log on. His puppy-ness is going away, but he is still beautiful and a bit goofy.
    Thanks again,
    James D. Prybyla

      Angelica,
I wanted to touch base and let you know how Kozak is doing with us in Massachusetts. He is the sweetest and most gentle dog, and we are completely enjoying having him living with us. We can�t believe his one-year birthday is coming up in less than a month. We never could bring ourselves to change his name, so Kozak it remains. We get a lot of questions about the source of the name, but I must admit that our Ukranian is a bit rusty. You probably know that Kozak�s coat and beautiful color consistently get positive comments from complete strangers, and all the neighborhood kids stop and pet him when we are walking him near home. Kozak has been a complete joy to own, and we thank you very much. I�ll try and send some up-to-date pictures when I get a chance.      
Best regards,
     James D. Prybyla

      Congratulations Angelica!!
Our Teddy is thriving. He is 7 months old today and 19 1/2 lbs. Every time we walk outside New Yorkers stop me to admire him. You would never know that he is from a quiet place in Maine, because he barely blinks at the city sounds of sirens, jackhammers, etc.. He is very affectionate and playful. We love him.

      Hi Angelica,
We are doing better here � started to feed Miss Megan Chicken and rice and a little cooked carrot with plain yoghurt yesterday and her tummy seems to have settled down (no more diarrhea). She even slept last night from 1130 straight through til 630! She is a sweetheart and we love her! Thanks for your help on Friday night � 
      Hope, Maine

      Hi Angelica!
Let me first start by saying that we are thrilled with Red Boy and he is doing amazing! He is LOVED more than I every thought possible. Truly the best and a wonderful addition to our family.Thanks so very much for everything. Again, I truly appreciated all of the time you spent providing myself and the girls such thorough information and care. Many, many thanks!

      Hi Angelica-
I wanted to let you know that the puppy we got from you has given us great joy. He is getting bigger now and still much fun to be around. Thanks so much for Oscar (thats his name). He draws a crowd everywhere he goes, but you must know that. 

      Angelica,
I wanted to send an email follow-up about Kozak. I think his transition to our non-Ukranian-speaking house is going well. He slept well both nights, with very limited crying when put in the crate (5 minutes maximum), and slept until 6AM in the crate. We�re starting to get the hang of his potty needs, and he has been great with the kids. We�re making the necessary vet and grooming appointments today. We�re very happy with Kozak, and we�ll try to give him a very loving home.
      Thanks,
      Jim. MA

      Hi, Angelica.
Just wanted to let you know Trot is doing great! He is so funny and loves the kids! All of my friends have fallen in love with him! He's so easy--potty training is getting better. I just keep him w/ me 24/7. I never asked you... why did you decide not to keep him for breeding? Just curious.

      Hi Angelica,
Kozak's doing really well. We are struggling a bit with the crate. He doesn't like it very much so we are working on making it more inviting for him at night time. A couple of my friends are probably going to call you about the other 2 puppies you have. They fell in love with Kozak!
      Thanks,
      Jim. MA

      Agelica,
I just want you to know we are so enjoying Gresha. I actually ordered a fence for him today. He is ajusting very well and as of yet, we have had no trouble with our allergies. We are looking forward to securing our gaurdianship of this sweet guy. Here is a picture of Zack and Gresha. I am sure it will be just one of many you will recieve. We have just one question. It is about a brush. What kind do you recommend? Thank You 
      Dory. Maine

Your puppies are beautiful! Tucker looks so much like his mom.

      Hi Angelica,
It was so nice to meet you last Saturday-Thank you for your hospitality.
We've decided to name Blue Green Boy -"Jack" and every day Paula asks me "when are we going to get our puppy?"
We are unsure of the exact date you are coming to Boston and we'd like to mark it on the calender.
Once again, thank you so much for the time you spent introducing the pups- we enjoyed it immensely.
Look forward to hearing from you and seeing the weekly pictures .
      Sincerely,
      Jeff, Paula and Luke, MA

We are enjoying our new addition!

      Angelica,
We wanted to write to you and say thank you again for allowing us to adopt Cyrus (green boy). He's adjusting WONDERFULLY and we are all having a great time with him. I am attaching one photo of Jacob and the puppy - we'll send another in a few months when he looks older. 
      Best,
      Karen, Jeremy, Jacob and Eli

      Angelica,
Congratulations to Kents Hill on another adorable litter.
I have sent your puppies link to a few families who have met Katya and think she is wonderful in terms of temperament and appearance; I hope that they decide to contact you.
We are very happy. Katya is a great member of our family (we decided to keep her name!). She loves long walks and hikes and is getting used to being my running partner. She is so well behaved and loves the children -- she knows now to wait for them at the stairs in the morning. Very smart girl indeed! She loves to go with us to soccer and baseball games and meet people. She has made a real dog friend in our neighborhood and loves to go to Stanley the border collies house for some running and ball chasing in the backyard. Whenever we walk her people stop to ask us what kind of dog she is and remark at how calm she is for a puppy and how good looking she is.
I am sending along a picture of Katya and our Isabelle. They have become very good friends. Katya has a new summer puppy cut since the weather is getting warmer.
All the best and good luck with your puppies!
      Regards,
      Cait, NH

      Hello,
Joe's been a great addition to our family. Great personality, quick learner, and excellent companion for the kids! Plus, another bonus is he's already house broken!!
He's really helped us deal with the loss of our other dog. 
      Thanks Again,
      The Bland Family

      Hi Steve and Angelica,
We love our puppy and have named him Bayley. He certainly fits in well with our household and my German Shepherd has welcomed him. Upon arriving home we could really tell how well cared for this little guy was with you two raising him his first ten weeks. I am also surprised at how mellow he has been so far and well-mannered, mostly!
      Thank you, it was a pleasure meeting your family,
      Cara and Anthony Ragucci

      Angelica,
Lucy (formerly rainbow) is doing great. We are scheduled to have her spayed on Monday, after which I'll send you her records. We love her! She is smart, obedient and very gentle for such a big pup.

      Hi,
I am writing an update for you. We picked up our puppy on 7/7/07. On the way home to Ellsworth, I gave him the name "Charlie". He is such a love! He had his first vet appointment today and he is doing well. We are working on crate training and toileting. We are going to our first puppy class tonight. We have lots of pictures and I will send some soon.
My vet said there are two other puppies from your litters around here because she has seen them. Maybe sometime we'll all meet up. I left a message on your phone so this note is really a repeat.
      Thanks again.

      Hello!
We wanted to share our most recent picture of 'Moose'. He has so much personality and has been a wonderful addition to our family. We love him!
