Hi Karri!!
Please forgive me because I have been meaning to contact you for a while and just haven't gotten to it!!!
I wanted to update you on Sophie. She is doing very well! She ended up getting a bladder infection so she's just starting to become fully house-trained. She has an accident here and there. If you have any suggestions with house training let me know!!
Her coat is very interesting. I have gotten many, many comments on her. Everyone just loves her!!!!!! They say they've never seen anything like her before. I even referred you to some of the people that asked.
She will be going in for her 3rd set of vaccinations soon. She's taking Heartguard and I started her on Frontline as well. We go hiking alot on the trails! She absolutely LOVES being outside! She's great and digging holes in my backyard too!! Ha Ha!
Here are some pictures for you!!

Karri, I truly believe that things happen for a reason ... I just turned 44 and have never been a pet person but feel in love with Maggie and my husband Mark has always been a pet person and has said he feel in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her! She truly is a blessing. I am happy to say that she is the joy of our life’s. Her name as mentioned above is Maggie Kissee. She is just so wonderful, has such a lovable personality and is absolutely beautiful. She is very happy with us and well taken care of, spoiled I must say. She truly is our baby!!! She also has a goldendoodle cousin who is just two weeks younger than her down the street. My husband’s twin sister and her family got him two weeks after we came home with Maggie and they are really great playmates. I could go on and on but that would seem like I’m bragging but you would be proud she is amazing!!Hope you enjoy the photo. Also, forgot to mention to you she was just at the vet yesterday and is weighing in at 62 pounds! She is a big girl.
Thank you,

Hi Karri,Congratulations on your new litter of Doodles. I thought this would be a good
time to let you know how great Lucy is doing. She's growing quickly (26+ lbs at our last vet visit a few weeks ago) and learning
almost as fast. She is crate trained and is almost there on house training. Lucy likes to go for walks around the block
and does well in her leash, even finding our house on the way home! As you can see by the photo, she's proud of her diploma
from Super Puppy class, where she learned her basic commands (although she has to be reminded of them from time to time).
She goes to doggy day care once a week where she plays with her friends and comes home exhausted.
Thank you for bringing such
a great puppy into my life. I know we'll be best buddies for years to come.

Hi Karri,
I thought you'd like to see a picture of Miss Phoebe since you've not seen her for
a few weeks. She is growing fast. She is sooo smart and sits already, she comes when she is called and is doing great
in her crate. She gives my mom's dog a run for her money but they enjoy each other. She is a great pup! I've recommended
you to a few friends who are thinking about labs and doodles. She has her second vet appointment on Friday but she has had no
problems. She likes to go for rides in the car and loves going to the pet store where everyone tells her how cute she is :).

Hi Karri,
Attached is a copy of the bill from Phoebe's surgery to spay and microchip. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy her. She is the perfect dog for me. She is so smart and has a great personality, is a cuddler and did well in her first puppy class. She is growing fast and gets along well with our other dog and our cat. She loves going for walks and rides in the car and has even spent a few afternoons at work with me. We've almost conquered house training now that the weather has finally gotten nice. She is a little thief. She loves to steal socks and any sort of paper and even stole a bunch of bannanas. I attached a picture. Unfortunately she had to be shaved down because she got a little matted on her legs but we've been working on the brushing so she doesn't give me such a hard time anymore and I'm able to brush all her hair not the just the top layer.
I love checking your site and seeing all the new puppies grow.
Thanks again for everything.

Just a quick update on Fintan... He is doing VERY well, and is extremely smart (which
means curious!!!) and pretty laid back. The kids are doing well with him, and he has pretty much accepted his role in the "pack".
He is a puppy, so he does occasionally have his puppy moments and needs to be reminded who the alpha dogs are. He
has pretty much figured out the house traing at this point, but still has a puppy sized bladder so he has to go out pretty often.
The vet says he is a very healthy puppy, and the gals at the vet clinic just love him and can't believe how smart he is. With
a treat, I can already get him to sit and lay down on command. We're still working on coming when called, but he is pretty
good at that too. He weighed 12.6 pounds last Saturday (two days after we got him) and this Saturday he was up to 15.6
pounds, so he is eating well. He's not getting pudgy, just growing like a weed. He goes right into his crate at night
now (and even during the day if needed), and generally only needs to go out once between 10 PM and 6 AM (usually around 1 AM).
He cried a little the first two nights, but now the only sounds you hear are grunting when he shifts position or occasionally some
noise when he is playing with his toys in there. He has met most of the neighborhood dogs, and gets along great with all of
them too. We really couldn't ask for a nicer puppy than Fintan, and will gladly recommend you for anyone looking for labs, poodles
or labradoodles.

Hi Karri,
Here are a couple of photos of Mia (Fiona) although they are about a month old now. Just wanted to let you know she has settled in exceptionally. She is a very sweet dog and has an incredible personality. We feel very fortunate to have her. She is so good with other animals (did her best to get my mothers labradoodle to play in the attached photo).
Thanks again!!

Another Fintan update.... Took him in yesterday for his 3rd vaccinations, and he now weighs 25.6 pounds at 13 weeks. Looks
like he is on pace to be a 65-70 pound dog. Vet said his neuter (planned for ~ 6 months of age September) should be routine
as everyhting is in the right place. He is sleeping straight through the night from 10 PM-7AM. We were getting up
around 3AM to let him out, but he wouldn't get out of the crate to go outside unless you carried him, and then he would just lay down
in the yard!!! He also does great when we put him in during the day if needed. He seems to completely have the house
training down now, and we haven't had an "accident" in the house for 2 weeks or more. I think he may have had 6-7 the entire
time we have had him. He has a pretty laid back personality, and gets along great with everyone he meets (dogs and people).
I'll probably start him in puppy obedience classes in a few weeks. Overall, still doing great and getting a LOT of attention
from the whole family.
Final update until he is neutered (Sept. 13th is his appointment). I'll send a copy of the neuter paperwork as soon as I get
it done. Took him in today (16 weeks, 2 days) and he weighed 34 pounds. Vet says his weight is good, as you can feel his
last rib and he has a definite waist. He is approximately 19" at the shoulder now. He is absolutely reliable with
the potty training, and even goes to the door and barks when he needs to go out (if we aren't paying close enough attention). He
is super smart, and is soooo easy to train with treats (he likes his food). We have been working on recalls, and he comes very
reliably when called if you have (or he thinks you have ) a treat. Basic obedience begins in a couple of weeks, and I expect
him to do great. He is just a GREAT puppy with a GREAT personality. You are definitely breeding for the correct temperament
and got intelligent dogs. Every person that meets him comments first on his personality, and then on his beautiful green/brown
eyes. I think he is starting to lose his puppy coat, so not sure exactly what his adult coat will look like. He is getting
an apricot stripe down his back and neck, and that hair is coarser (sort of like Timmy's hair). His legs also seem to be getting
more apricot. Last thing, he was pretty much unfazed by the fireworks going on the last few days, and has shown no fear of thunderstorms
either.

Hi Karri
Just wanted to send a couple of updated shots of Raisin. She is in her second week of training and doing great. She has taken well to the water and enjoys chases balls and pulling on Rita's ears!
She was 31 pounds 2 weeks ago and goes to the vet tomorrow for a booster shot and a weigh in -we are all placing bets
Hope all is well,
