Hi Anna

We would so much like to commend you on your breeding and care of the puppies. I am 68 years old and have had many dogs pass through my life. I have never had a puppy quite like her.

After we picked her up from you she had a 4 hour drive to home. She snuggled in and not a peep. She drank water when we offered it on the trip. We had brought her pee pad with us, but she held it the full time until we got home. No car sickness nothing. We knew absolutely without a doubt that we had made the right choice. She will be traveling a lot with us so this was really important.

She had no problem settling in to her new home at all. We live in a very large home. The main floor is 4,000 sq. ft. I tell you this because my bedroom is at one end of the house and the kitchen is at the other end. Her pee pad is in the kitchen. We thought it would be quite some time until she would have the run of the house. She earned her freedom to roam the house in under a week. She was completely house trained in under a week. I was in my bedroom dusting and Teddie was with me. I turned around and she was gone. I immediately went looking for her and calling her. I checked every room on my way to the kitchen, when I reached the kitchen there she was on her pee pad tending to business looking agitated with me because I was calling her and she couldn't come at the moment. She had shown me with out a doubt that she knew where she was supposed to go. She will stop playing, eating, drinking or what ever to run in go pee and back out to continue .

She learns everything so fast. She comes when I call. She learned very fast that she would rather come when called than not come and then have to be confined for a bit. She is so eager to please that she listens and does everything she should. She sits and stays in her pen when I open the door, until I say the magic words okay. She eats well and has gained 2 lbs. She now weighs 5.7 lbs.

She is so good with everyone she makes all 3 of us feel like we are so special to her. You said she understood no and she sure does. I am attaching some pictures that prove the point. We have a 2 year old grandson, who is a very busy boy. At first Teddie would get very excited when he came in and we would have to put her in her pen. In less than a week she has learned not to jump on him but to just lay quietly and watch him. All I have to do when he comes in and she approaches him is say no and that's it.

She is a sturdy little thing and loves to rough house with Beamer. Then she will come and snuggle with me and have quiet time. Later she will wonder in to watch TV with my husband. She is the perfect pet for all of us. She will make her first trip with us to Vancouver mid April for a few days, so Beamer can shoot his music video.

Teddie is everything and more than we hoped for. She is beautiful inside and out. Thank you so much for all that you put into providing your clients with these amazing little beauties.

Thank you

Beamer, Michael and Heather

Dear Anna and family,

My little dog passed the six month mark yesterday, so I thought it would be a good time to give you an update about one of Rosie's January 2017 pups.

Penny is one of the sweetest and smartest little dogs you'll ever meet. Since day one, she has been a dream dog. She's calm, gentle and confident. She also loves to snuggle, give lots of hugs and kisses.

Since the very first days of bringing her home, Penny has been a great dog. She was comfortable with her crate right away, and she was house-trained within week.

She passed through the first phase of puppy classes with flying colours. She loves to please, and my favourite thing to watch is when she bounces back toward me with her ears flopping and her tail wagging.

She has already been asked back to her dog school for extra sessions to help another dog with its socialization. The owner of the school said that bringing Penny in to help the other dog made the world of difference. Penny livens things up, and she makes everyone around her smile.

Penny also takes in everything around her with ease. She sometimes comes to my office, she loves to meet new people, and she has no trouble getting along with other dogs that she encounters along the way.

Lately, Penny has been experiencing big adventures like a trooper. She accompanied me on an in-cabin flight, and has been on a two-day canoe camping trip. She's having a ton of fun in the water.

Thank you so much for all of the care and attention you put into raising dogs. Getting Penny from your family was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

I have attached a few photos here, and more can be found on Instagram: @ doodleydog

All the best,

Lesley Hemsworth & Penny 🐾

Have a great holiday.

Dear Anna,

I just wanted to thank you again for our mini golden doodle puppy. Lexi brings so much joy to our home. Our vet confirms she is a good and healthy beautiful dog. She is so smart and is learning so many words and is walking on leash.

Thank you again for taking such good care of all your puppies. You can tell by her calm disposition that she was raised in a a well socialized home.

I will always recommend you to friends and to strangers when asked.

Sincerely,

~Kevin

Hello Anna,

I wanted to share a couple pictures and videos with you of Noble. Noble is so loving and outgoing with people, and I realized its her calling to be a therapy dog. She has helped me heal and changed my life. She is really my best friend. Also we hope to be volunteering at the hospital by next Spring.

Initially I wanted a larger golden doodle, but she ended up being the perfect size and the cutest doodle in whole world. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love her so so much. She was my blessing.

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2020! perhaps one day you can meet noble again and see how amazing she is.

God Bless

Hi Anna and family:

Well Amaretto is 6 months old now and an absolute doll. Amaretto is the sweetest puppy ever. She is such a love bug and is very smart. I think she is the first dog I have owned that I have not spent the first several months feeling frustrated with all the puppy training. We have her in training classes and she just gets the lessons right away. It makes it so easy to just love her to bits. She comes to work with me every day and the clients just love her. She is very social and is a very content puppy. I truly feel so lucky to have found you Anna,as a breeder, and I treasure this puppy, more than words can say. My husband, who was not too keen in the very beginning tells me he loves her so much, he can't believe it. So all is good here on the Island with our baby.

Hi Anna

I can't express how happy I am with Eko, and with your professionalism and knowledge. He obviously was born into a home with a lot of love and security.

On the ride home, he was a bit anxious, cried for a few moments, and then settled down quite comfortably. From the moment he walked into the condo, he was at home.

Yesterday we went to my vet - he was thrilled to have a new patient. Eko is fine and healthy, he said. He'll get his follow-up shots in a week.

It took no training for him to discover where his water and food bowls were; where he slept, and where the pee/poo pad was (although there still is a tendency to play with paper).

Today we went for our first walk outside. I was amazed that not only didn't he react to the collar, but when he was on the leash, that didn't faze him either. In fact, when I stopped walking, he sat down next to my feet. I swear he's channeling some older trained dog!

Here are a few pictures of our play, and then nap time. Thank you again; I would recommend you to anyone looking for a quality pup from a quality breeder.

Cheers,

Dr. Michael

Good morning Anna,

Thanks for the advice on the sleep training, Summer had a fantastic first night, we took her out for her last pee at 10pm and then put her in her crate by herself on the main floor. She slept all all night not a sound until 5:30am this morning, she was excited to got outside to do her business. She's already getting use to going on the grass.

Summer is the perfect little puppy, she's very sweet and affectionate and always wants to be around us. She's brought a lot of joy to our family : )

Here's her favourite spot is this furry rug : )

Hi Anna,

Happy Holidays! Thanks for checking in. Summer is doing great. I've taken the initiative to groom her nails and her coat. I trimmed her body down to 1" and left her head big and puffy :)

We also bought her a coat for rainy days and wet trail walks. Her recall is amazing, I take her on the off-leash trail by our home and she wanders the many little rivers and creeks and always comes back when called, albeit soaking wet. I guess that's the retriever in her.

She has the perfect temperament for our 3 young girls and we couldn't imagine life without her. Thanks for bringing so much joy into our lives :). All the best to you and your pack in 2016!

Sincerely,

Jacob

First night went well. She was up at 6am and we headed outside for a pee and poop. AWESOME!

She is a pleasure and is enjoying her new toys. All is terrific. Just a beautiful new addition to our family! Thank you!
