Comments About Our Labradoodles from Our Customers


      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

      Hi, Angelica.
Thank you for the note. I have attached a few pictures of Trot. He is really happy here. Just one more question. How big will Trot get? I was under the impression he wouldn't get too much taller than he is now. And his weight would probably be around 35-40 lbs. Could you confirm this for me?
The reason is, I am trying to buy a crate for my car (he keeps vomitting everytime I take him anywhere). I've had friends suggest putting him in a crate in the car. Right now I bought a "Medium" crate that he fits in well. However, if his potential growth is supposed to be the size of a labrador, then I will need to trade this crate up to a "large." 
      Thanks for your help!

      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

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!

Angie is a very active and playful puppy!

      Hi Angelica,
He is literally growing on us. He is about 2x the size that he was when we got him.

      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!
