Ringo
Hi Libby! Ringo turned 1 a few days ago on July 2nd. He is behaving very well. We read the testimonials on your website and found one about Ringo's sister, Lili. It was like Lili's owner was talking about Ringo, because he is behaving just the same way. Ringo has fun at training and he is getting better and better. When we are on vacation Ringo stays at his best friend Spot's house. They have a lot of fun together. I tagged on a picture of the two of them together. Ringo got his first haircut at the end of May. At first we thought he looked so silly, but now we have gotten really used to it, and it is already starting to grow. I bet he is glad that he has shorter fur since it is extremely hot this summer.I included a few photos of Ringo.

Norman aka "John Boy"
Libby, Norman AKA John Boy from Boonie and Boomer's litter is now 75 pounds of joy and love in our family. He has the cutest personality one could imagine and was easy from day one. He adores all three of our kids and is loved also by our 13 year old West Highland White Terrier. They can be quite the dynamic duo. Norman has added some spunk into our Westie's life. We noticed on your website that you might have an upcoming litter from the same lineage. We would be interested in another male puppy. Please keep us in mind. Norman truly is the perfect family dog. Blessings, Jody Davis
Tucker
Hi! We are just back from a trip to Austin. Tucker didn't go as he was at the vet having his "clip and snip" operation. He is a fabulous dog! I have taken him to three obedience classes now and I get the same comments from different people each week telling me how adorable he is, how calm and obedient he is, how smart he is, etc.and, of course, they are all absolutely right, but on top of that he is an absolute love! He is really growing and may outgrow his parents. At 5 months he is 48 pounds and quite tall. When I bathed him last week, I was surprised at how slight his body is because his fluffy fur makes him look so much fatter :) He is very affectionate and attached to us already. He loves to play outside by having us throw his squeaky hedgehog so that he can chase it and bring it right back to us for more. He has only ventured onto the top step of the pool, and got quite upset if we swam out in the middle away from him so I'm hoping he will get more daring as time goes by. However, he loves to sit in the water on the top step and plunge his whole head under, blow huge bubbles and then come up for air before doing it again. His funniest pastime is to grab hold of his own tail with his mouth and then try to run away with it, sort of crab walking across the room until he trips himself up and goes sprawling. We look at each other every day and ask how we could have been so lucky to get such a wonderful puppy. Thank you so much! We'll try to send a pic soon. - Dick and Judy
K.C.
Hi Libby, I just want to let you know that we are really enjoying K.C. We have been to 2 puppy kindergarten classes so far & she is doing very well. This past weekend our son & daughter-in-law visited us from Houston plus a friend brought over her 2 granddaughters to meet her & a neighbor brought her grandson--she was adored by all! She is very friendly to people & other dogs. We hardly noticed house-training her! Thank you for allowing us to bring her into our family. - Carol & Bill Bornstein
Nacho
Libby, Here is our comment for your website. We acquired Nacho in January 2008 when he was eight weeks old. He is an amazing dog--smart, sweet, athletic, good looking and has a great personality. Everyone loves him and he even has his own fan club. He was potty-trained in one week and never destroyed furniture or other items in the house. We could not imagine having a better dog--and are already thinking about getting another one. Libby made it very easy for us to "purchase" Nacho. She is a concerned and loving breeder and our dog received a great report from the vet when we first took him there at eight weeks. It is a total joy to watch Nacho continue to grow and develop into an even better dog every day. Thanks again, Libby. Hope to see you soon. Best regards, - Heather and David
Lucy
Olivia, Here is a photo of Lucy taken at in late April . She was 5 ½ months old and weighed 40 lbs. Today she weighs over 46 lbs and stands at least 2 inches higher at the shoulder than our 8 ½ yr old Golden Retriever. I have many more images of Lucy but this is my favorite. Lucy is staying with the trainer who very fond of her. When we return I plan to get her groomed and trimmed. I’ll get you some more current images either before or after she gets a modest haircut. Later in June, we might drop by for a visit. - David
Kingston Cole
Here is a recent photo of Kingston Cole from a birthday party...he is getting BIG....he will be five months old this week....he just lost his first tooth!!!! He loves going to doggie day care during the week...he has soooo much fun playing with other dogs! He loves to chase bubbles...and squirrels!   - Juliette Port Arthur, TX
Major
Hi, Major is doing wonderful. He is the sweetest thing ever!! We are so happy to have him. He is growing so fast and we are having a blast with him. I attached a couple pics of him. First one is a couple days ago when my son was trying to read and he wanted to play. The second one is him and our cat about a month ago. The last one was at the park about a month ago. Thank You!! - Shannon	Photo #2 ~ Photo #3
Marley/Candy
Just wanted to let you know that Marley is quite the pup! She traveled from Texas to Louisiana with no problem. She is such a calm puppy. She, and my other dog Hula and the cat Lucy are all getting acquainted and starting to enjoy each other. The cat will bat her with her front paws but no claws are drawn. Enjoy the pictures.	Photo #3 ~ Photo #4 ~ Photo #5
Twinkie
Hi Libby, The pup is doing great and growing every day...very friendly and already house trained (as long as someone is around to let him out). It took about 1 day to train him and he will use a training pad if nobody takes him out--easiest puppy I've ever house trained. We renamed him Twinkie b/c he is blonde/yellow and has a white coat on his stomach, reminded me of a Twinkie (yellow with white on the inside). I'll send some pictures later. - Eva
Lucy
Libby, Thought you might like to see a good looking dog. Lucy regularly stops traffic. The photographer that took this picture ran after Lucy and me in the park. After shooting, he took my card and the next day brought me a CD with the 21 images he took. This is my favorite. I eliminated a lot of pixels for email delivery but still have the pixels if you would like a better quality image. - David
Labradoodle
Libby, Thank you for e-mailing back. Do you want the pictures online I never thought about that until I realized you put them on-line. I can send them to you. Of course we think he is grand, His expressions are priceless and personality is great. We went to one training class but he was so young we have enrolled in another. He is so smart also. All who meet him want him. Will talk again soon. - Judy Davis	Photo #2 ~ Photo #3
Remi
Hi Olivia, Remi is doing great! I keep trying to get a good picture of him to send to you but he always moves before I can get it. He looks just like his daddy though. He is very good with other dogs and is so sweet he's really attached to our lab. He will let you wash, brush, and blow dry him without any problems. He has started learning how to jump up on the couch and almost has gotten on the bed but we still have to help him some. I have attached some pictures that we were able to get but as soon as I can get a better one of him I will send it to you. Talk to you soon." - Kristen UPDATE: "Just wanted to send you some updated pictures of Remi. He got a hair cut at the beginning of July and looks so different. He's such a wonderful addition to the family and we are go glad to have him. Thanks for giving us such a great "son". - Kristen Jordan	Photo #2 ~ Photo #3 ~ Photo #4
Tank
Libby, I have attached a couple of pictures of tank at his new home. He has gotten along great with MJ and the kids. My only complaint is that I have to buy a king size bed now (see picture No. 0150). We will keep you updated as Tank gets older. Thanks again for our new family member. - The Herberts	Photo #2
"Ace" aka Sammy
Hi Libby!! I finally got some pictures for you of "Ace" aka. Sammy. He is a WONDERFUL dog and we are greatly enjoying his personality. We love our labradoodle and are very proud when people recognize what a sweet, gentle, loving dog he is. Thank you again for sharing him with our family!! We hope all is well and that Punkin and Dandy are healthy and thriving!! Take care - Sandy & Mark The Stanley Family	Photo #2 ~ Photo #3 ~ Photo #4
Mojo
We are all doing great. The residents absolutely love Mojo. He is currently being trained as a Delta Dog. I will send a picture soon. This is Mojo at 11mos. Thanks! - Vikki	Photo #2
Dude
Libby, I wanted to share a few photos with you of our precious puppy Dude. He’s really been a super dog with quite the personality. Michael has been training him to be a bird dog and Dude has been very responsive to Michael’s commands. We’re still working on playing fetch but he’s slowly getting the hang of bringing the ball back and releasing it. Our friends comment on what a sweet dog Dude is and how affectionate he is with people and other dogs. Michael seems to think that Dude looks a lot like Dandy, I think he’s a good mix of Dandy and Punkin. My in-laws love Dude and talk about him to their friends all the time. They say they have never seen a better dog, I would have to agree. How everyone is doing well!!! Thank you so much!!! - Nicole and Michael Johnson	Photo #2 ~ Photo #3 ~ Photo #4 ~ Photo #5
Labradoodle
She is just a joy we love her so much and fits so we'll in with our family thanks again. - Deonna
Jake and Elwood (aka "The Blues Brothers")
Loved and Spoiled The Blues Brothers Littermates Jake and Elwood, (aka "The Blues Brothers") have been such wonderful additions to our family. They are Bonnie and Boomer's pups and turn one year old tomorrow, Dec 8th,2009!! We get compliments on them all of the time and are celebrities wherever they go! I love their unique apricot fur, green eyes and liver colored noses. I always called them my lion cubs because of their coloring and big paws. Yet everyone says how mellow they are, even as puppies. You know how Elwood was bigger than Jake? Jake has caught up!! I believe they're both at around 75 lbs. Some have said that littermates are difficult to train and , with names like The Blues Brothers, we had our doubts! However, they are very well trained: they heal, sit, lie down, stay in their place, go potty all on command. They are both so smart and friendly. They love to wrestle with and care for each other yet they always come to cuddle too. Even though we work full-time, they are healthy and happy dogs and don't get into too much mischief while we're gone. They are gorgeous and have given us so much joy! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to find more love!!! Amber, Rob, Ben and Cameron Zielinski (and, of course, Jake & Elwood!!) My heart is bursting with pride! - Jake and Elwood	Photo #2
Winston
Hi Libby, We love Winston. He has been a great addition to our family. - Betty Vance	Photo #2
Maggie aka Tethra
Hi Olivia, How are you? Wish you and your family a Happy New Year! I just wanted to give you an update on Maggie, aka Tethra. She is six and a half months now and we got her spayed recently. She has recovered and is back to normal. Just wanted to share some pictures with you. She is so adorable! She gets so much attention from everyone! She is a big hit at my son's school. She came with us on our Christma vacation to new Mexico and Arizona. She just loved the snow! Thanks once again. Take care. - Pavani G	Photo #2 ~ Photo #3
Lili
Everywhere we go, people stop and ask about her because she is absolutely gorgeous. Her behavior is improving. (She was never bad, just a BIG puppy.) The weather on the beach has been socked in lately, therefore, she doesn't get to run as she should. I think she just has locked up energy. Lili is a good car dog. I take her on trips about the peninsula. We are trying to teach her to jump in as she is getting harder to pick up. Sometimes we feel a bit guilty that there are no youngsters around to run and play, but we wouldn't give her up for anything. Have all good things! - M, L, L
Shadow
Olivia: Shadow is almost 1 year old and (thankfully) is leaving puppy hood behind. He is a joy to all in our house, and loves being included in all family happenings around the house. He especially likes his walks. We don’t take him in the car unless necessary because he gets very nervous and often gets sick. Until recently, he slept in a kennel in our bedroom, but now sleeps on a mat instead. Our 2 grandsons love their “Shaddy” as you can tell from the attached photo. Thanks for remembering Shadow at Christmas time – he really liked his toys! - Regards, Dave Hood
Chloe
Dear Mama Libby, We are thankful for Chloe. - Love, Jenny	Photo #2 ~ Photo #3
Mac & Lili
Mac, Sam, Sue and Joel came for a visit! Mac and Lili hit it off right away. They played for two whole days and only stopped when they fell down on the spot. Sam, the lab, simply ignored them as best she could. It was a blast! We love our doodles! - Marcel and Linda
Ellie
Hi Olivia, Ellie and I want to thank you for her Christmas present, that was so sweet and thoughtful of you all! By your website it looks like Dandy, Punkin, and Mona are doing well! Your new dogs are beautiful. Our Ellie is a wonderful member of our family, she was 2 in November and has been an excellent puppy. She has always had great manners! She is a big girl weighing in at 70 lbs. +, so she takes after Dan! When my husband said lets get a girl he was thinking she would be smaller like Punkin! We love her to death no matter what size she is. We have told her she is a large dog, but she just hasn't accepted it, so she still remains a lap dog. She hasn't gotten use to her large body because she has been known to fall off the bed or couch. Ellie sleeps with our 9 year old twins Grant and Reed, in their king size bed! She loves to go out to the deer lease, run around, and chase cows. People think having a Labradoodle, you have a designer dog, a foo foo dog that runs around with bows in her hair! Our Ellie is a 'Dawg', that enjoys nothing better than rolling around in cow poop! Ellie gets lots of bathes! Thank you again for the wonderful present, and for our Ellie! Merry Christmas to all of you! - Darby, Russell, Danes, Grant, Reed and Ellie
Owen
Hello, Sorry it has taken so long for me to write! Owen is doing soo good! We just love him! He is now 5 months old, and already weighs 45lbs! We are expecting to be a big boy! When do you expect to have another litter? We are wanting to get another one when he turns 1, we want a blonde or chocolate... to everyone looking to add a sweet puppy to your family, this is the place to go! We had such a wonderful experience! Our puppy Owen has been extremely healthy (No health problems), he is very sweet, and very handsome! Everywhere we go, he is the talk of the town! We cant wait to get another!!! (I attached a picture of Owen at 4 mos, I will send more pictures later) Thanks Olivia! - The Payne Family
Lili Marlene Elissalde
7 MONTH REPORT Lili continues to do well with her training. She is still a little exuberant when company arrives. Lili likes everyone. However, she will sit if treated to winnies as guests come inside. Once people are here, she will calm down and be wonderful. Lili always loves all 2 and 4 legged creatures. Her weight is 46.5 lbs. Her proportions are just right. Once the weather improves, she will be able to obtain more exercise which will help. Lili has stayed for 2 trial sessions in the living room, instead of her crate, when her pack leaders go elsewhere and has been very successful. She continues to be a beautiful, charming, and full of life puppy. - Pack Leaders, Marcel Elissalde, PhD. Linda C. Elissalde LILI'S NINE MONTHS REPORT CARD Weight: 47.5 lbs. Behavior: Mostly good. Looks: Gorgeous Area of improvement: Better at greeting guests. (Still needs some work.) Areas that need improvement: Leash walking and coming when called while outside. Milestone: First haircut. It is a little short, but her pack leaders did not know that it had become quite so tangled near the skin. Groomer said that she behaved very well. Lili continues to be a joy to her pack leaders. She so loves to run and play. Lili is friendly to all she meets. Her pack leaders are looking for lively playmates with whom she can cavort. Lili Marlene Elissalde Turns One! Lili's One Year Report Card Lili turns 1 year on July 2, 2010. These pictures show her in Godmother Melanie's pink basket when we first brought her home, and how she looks now. Lili has been, is, and will be beautiful. Lili, with her harness, is a pleasure to walk. She can sit and shake hands. Lili knew that when we picked her up as Miss Olivia had taught her. She can now go to place, do down, stay and several other necessary acts. Lili has lived with us for 10 months. We can't believe how fast the time has passed. We love her more all the time. Everyone of our friends has been very support and helpful with Lili. She truly feels that she is a part of this community. She and her best bud Dundee will continue to meet, play and swim at the shore. This will be her last report card. However, we will send updates periodically. Love to all of you from, Marcel H. Elissalde Linda C. Elissalde Lili M. Elissalde	Photo #5
More Testimonies (No images)
Hi Libby.....sorry it took us so long to answer your letter. Good to hear from you! Maddie is doing incredibly well! She loves to play....especially in the water with these hot temps we're having already this summer. She is very loyal and eager to learn and please. Thank you for her. She is pretty perfect! Her sister "Baby" comes over two or three times a week for a play date. They adore each other's company. Maddie is detinitly the larger of the two and weighs quite a bit more! She will no doubt throw some large babies. She has had one very light heat cycle....only spots! My veterinarian husband says we should mate her after the second heat cycle.....but since it was extremely light.....we may wait for the third cycle depending on what the second one looks like. We plan to mate her with your Labradoodle.....I'm not remembering his name right now. But, you know who I mean....I hope. He's the beautiful Labradoodle you had just gotten when I was there to pick up Maddie. What do you charge for stud fees? ALSO...we have a referral for you. Our neighbor down the street has a 50/50 Labradoodle....Her name is "Jesse" and belongs to Cynthia Adams.. They want to mate "Jesse" with Maddie's dad Shadow.....unless you think your labradoodle male would make a good match. Jesse is half lab and half poodle....chocolate. She needs more poodle in her pups. It's up to you....I gave her your email address tonight.....so you can expect to hear from her soon. Thanks Libby. Again, it was good to hear from you. Look forward to future Labradoodle news. Yes, I have several pictures of Maddie I'd love to share. Don't know how to send via email. But will try to figure it out! See you sometime soon! Warmly, - Terri Hi Olivia Just wanted to send you a quick email to tell you how much we LOVE our puppy. We named him Kota. He is getting so big we can't believe how fast he is growing. He is an incredible dog and know that he is the perfect match for the kids and our whole family. He loves to get a bath and be brushed! He is really just a little touch junkie but we are more than happy to oblige. His most favorite thing to do is play catch. He learned it so quick we couldn't believe it! The squeaky toys are the ones the prefers to play with. We are looking for obedience schools right now and are finding some good ones. Thanks again for helping us add love to our home! More updates and pics later! - Kimberly and Brent Corie Taylor, Payton, and Preston and don't forget Kota! Libby, I just wanted to give you a quick update. Cooper is doing wonderful. He is in full puppy mode, is adorable and he knows it and is up to almost 26 lbs. We have started puppy training classes and does wonderful with walking, staying, sitting etc...but is having trouble with no biting. He has had a time with his puppy teeth, poor thing, but mommy has bought him every toy under the sun and we keep him chewing on those. His adorable meter is way high and I (we) but especially me, have grown so attached, he makes me laugh all day long. I just love him!!! I will send pics soon. Thank you for his wonderful upbringing. - Kim Rable
