Lillyroux

Hi there Libby:)

Just wanted you to see Lillyroux after her day at the salon. She's an absolute joy to everyone that meets her. She loves to wake up my oldest son for school. When she gets tired she wants to lay down by my 4 y/o. She rings a bell hung on the door knob to be let out. Absolutely loves the shower and will jump in at any opportunity! My husband puppysat for me over the weekend last month...never leave a man to do a woman's job:). She had an accident but went to the shower and got as close to the drain as she could!!

Oh and if it rains...she throws a fit until you let her out. She stayed outside all day the last rainy day we had. It was cold and pouring and I couldn't have dragged her in. She ran and jump in every puddle she could find:)

Lots of people ask about her and where I got her...hopefully I'm sending you some business.

Thank You and have a great day

Jethro (was "Boss Hog")

5.5 month update

Jethro continues to be a super doodle.  Very people oriented and lovable.  Very quick learner.

In the attached picture he has been groomed and has a beautiful kinky poodle coat of hair, still very soft.

In the picture he is 39 lbs and is concentrating on a treat to be picked up when released.

Jethro (9 months/55 lbs) & sister Ziva (40 lbs)

 

The picture attached was taken at a beach house.  They loved the beach and actually loved the sand and salty water.  Jethro would follow you into the deeper water.  Ziva is the one with a leash.

Jethro and Ziva are very similar but with different personalities.  Both very intelligent and people oriented.  Jethro is “laid back”, loves to chase and retrieve objects, watches birds and planes.  He is protective in that he notices things/animals/people that are not in their normal place and will alert you with a Grrr…or bark.  Once they are identified or he is introduced he will quiet down.  Very friendly with kids, will sit and let them pet him.  Loves water, but won’t jump into a pool yet.  Likes to lay his head on your lap or beside you to have his ears scratched.  Occasionally, he won’t leave his crate unless you give him a tummy rub.  Does very well at pet boarding giving no trouble and getting along with other dogs of all sizes.

Ziva has a great outgoing personality, gets a little too gregarious with new people, loves kids, still a lap dog, will get on a sofa if invited.  Chases squirrels.  Loves water also, but is wary of deep water.  Seems to prefer the outdoors more than Jethro.  Jethro likes the A/C.

Jethro and Ziva romp and rough house like any kids but Ziva is almost too active for Jethro and will wear him out.  We will not send a picture of them in a muddy yard.  They both are easily taught new things, sometimes it becomes a little scary how well they understand.

All-in-all Jethro and Ziva are great labradoodles.  We are constantly approached and asked about them, their breed, age, where we got them, etc.

Scarlette

Hi Libby!

We wanted to write and update you about Scarlette... she is the best thing that's happened to us! Scarlette plays great with the kids, runs great with my husband and keeps me company in the kitchen. She is everything we could have asked for. Her favorite things to do are play fetch with tennis balls and go hiking, when we go hiking she stands right next to our daughter who's 4 and helps her get down the rocks.
We don't have any other dogs but she's met other dogs at the park and is always really friendly, no mean bones in her body. We always get compliments on how gorgeous and well behaved she is and I always mention you. You really did a great job training her before she even came to our home. Thank you so much for everything, we LOVE her!

Rockie
Hello!

Our last year with Rockie has been wonderful!!! Rockie is happy, fun and wonderful with our kids. He likes hunting, swiming and barbies! We have went through a lot of barbies this year. I wanted to thank you for him and know we love him a lot.
Thanks

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.

Your Labradoodlelovers,
Katharina, Meggy, and Uli Seemann

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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".

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.

"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

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

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

Dear Mama Libby,

We are thankful for Chloe.

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!

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!

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.

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,

Lili can catch, walk with the Wonder Women Walk! group, bark at new people, allow herself to be petted by strangers, play with anyone who will play and eats her expensive dog food augmented by egg, peas, meat and cheese.

She stays at Winnie Vet or Pampered Paws when her family goes on trips. People go and visit her at these establishments. When Marcel takes her for a walk, women stop to admire Lili.

We love our Lili!

Cayenne

Just to let you know, Cayenne is adjusting/bonding really well. She & Gary really bonded on way home, he slept most of the way and she slept on his chest the whole time. She did throw up after the first hour of traveling but we were prepared, cleaned up and she was fine after that.

She sticks by us constantly but seems very relaxed. She seems to really love our back yard, it was very cool yesterday evening and this morning. She hasn’t had an accident in the house and we didn’t crate her last night, ( we may take the crate back to the store, not sure I want to use it). She slept on her bed next to our bed and seemed very comfortable.

We are so pleased with her, she is just precious!

Thanks for picking the perfect pet for us!

- Sheri

 

 

Sorry I haven’t sent pictures before, I have taken so many but am just now getting them uploaded to the computer. These were taken today. I have some cute videos of her playing in the backyard but they won’t load in an email.

We are enjoying Cayenne so much. She is everything we wanted when we searched for so long! She has a great personality! She is still a little shy when new people come over, but she gets over it quickly. We don’t have any problem with her jumping up on people. She gets along great with my 2 ½ year old granddaughter that I babysit. She is the sweetest pet and Gary & I fell in love with her right away.

She seems very smart, I hope to enroll her in a training class this next week. We don’t have a doggie door, but she is very persistent in letting me know she is ready to go outside for potty.

Gertie

Hi Olivia. Been thinking of you. Gertie is wonderful she's smart and funny She's just like you said - she loves to crawl Up on us and cuddle and have her belly rubbed. She's growing fast (weighs 17 1/2 lbs and has really long legs and loves to leap up with all four legs off the floor. She's definitely part of the family and a delight! I'll try to send a photo if I can thanks for writing. I'll keep in touch.

(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!

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.
