Dear Nicki & Brian,

Thank you so much for bringing Ladi into our lives!  She has the most amazing temperment, is easy to train, and is such a lover.  Although I got her for the girls, it seems that I may have fallen hardest for her!  We will be sure to keep in touch with photos, etc...

Thanks again!

Dear Nicki,

Thanks you so much for providing our family with Wally.

An absolute love, he has provided so much joy to our lives.

"Tillie has been the perfect addition to our family. Everyone that meets her comments on how calm and friendly she is as she walks up to them and sits at their feet.

Originally i though getting a puppy would mean a lot of cleaning, sleepless nights and chewed shoes however I am amazed how calm and intelligent Tillie is. She always sleeps throughout the night, is toilet trained and quickly picks up tricks.

When we take her for walks/runs she is always close by our side and obedient. The only downside is the amount of people that want to stop and meet her...

I don't know what you guys are doing over there to your dogs but i wouldn't change a thing!"

Hi Nicki!

I got your message yesterday. Great to hear from you and it's nice to know you are interested in how things are working out with Kingston.  Let's see where should I begin?

Kingston is such a wonderful pup! We can't believe how fast he is growing. We have a great veterinarian who always asks if he could trade his puppy for Kingston. He always jokes "let me see if he has a heart beat because he looks like a stuffed animal and way too mellow for a puppy!  We prepared for a really energetic and naughty puppy as others have warned us that the Labradoodles they have met have all been pretty rambunctious. Kingston is playful and smart and is learning commands rather easily. He was completely potty trained by the 11th to 12th week - going to the sliding door giving us the signal to let him out. He took to his crate the first night we brought him home with very little whining. Week after week we prepared for the "crazy puppy phase" but we feel that if he continues as is- we got pretty darn lucky! He tries to chew on socks and tries to get into the trash bin if it's accessible but once told no- he walks away.  Like a toddler we just have to keep an eye on him as he loves to put stray items into his mouth. But for the most part he just enjoys his place among the family- often laying in the comfort of his bed in the family room or just sitting right beside one of us. When he can, he tries to creep onto the kids bed or our bed and tries to snuggle up for a nap. He is great with bathing and brushing. It's hard not to think about adopting another one from you guys to join our family!  He has his "brother" my parent’s maltipoo- who he is now 3x bigger than.  They play with each other at least 4-5 times a week. 

But I can't help to think if one is great two will be better !

He is the star whenever we take him for a walk in our neighborhood or at our outdoor mall. We are constantly stopped and asked what breed he is. In fact I’ve had to provide your website info to so many people I thought about recommending you give your adoptive families business cards to pass out when we bring our puppies home.  During his first few weeks with us - people could not believe his temperament for a 10 week old puppy and his face then and now can melt anyone’s  heart ! He is a beautiful pup inside and out!

He is a wonderful addition to our family and brings us all joy!

Dear Nicki and Brian,

I am really enjoying my puppy, Lucy (Arrow).  She is so much fun to play with and easy to train.  Lucy's coat is so easy care since she doesn't shed !

On walks, I am often stopped and asked which breed Lucy is.  She is a great looking dog with a striking appearance!

 Thank you so much for breeding such a great dog.  I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a second puppy from you.

 Sincerely,

 Sherry

"Camper, our 8 1/2 month old Labradoodle, is a beloved member of our family. He is wonderful with all children and our 3 and 7-year old daughters adore him. He loves to play, but is careful about moving too quickly when children are around. He loves to cuddle and seeks out attention whenever he can. Camper is a fast learner, as well. He lets us know when he needs to go outside and waits to have his paws dried when he comes back inside. Camper loves walks, camping trips, playdates with other canine friends, and playing in the backyard with the kids. We love that he is hypo-allergenic and doesn't have that yucky "dog" smell. We love our good boy."- Lisa M.

Hi Nicki,

Basil is a great dog, and he' s brought a lot of joy and laughter into our lives. John and I remark constantly to each other how lucky we were to have found him. Everyone who sees him gushes over how cute he is; he has the prettiest dark eyes and the longest blond eyelashes ever! But the best part is his temperament. He is amazingly calm and well behaved, and not the least bit destructive. He has learned to ring a bell to go out, and walks on a leash better than any dog we've ever had. He's so smart, one of his nicknames is "Einstein" because he catches on to training so fast. He has bonded really well with our female Labradoodle, Cholula. They play together enthusiastically, and happily share food bowls, toys, and beds. It's a constant source of amusement to watch their interactions; one of his tricks is to bite onto her tail as she tries to run away from him! Plus, he's super cuddly, and can't seem to get enough petting, which works out great, because we can't stop petting him, he's so adorable.

 All in all, he's turned out to be the perfect dog for us.

 With many thanks,

 John and Charlotte

Dear Brian and Nicki 

I would just like to say that your labradoodles are awesome dogs.  Scout has become such a great addition to our family with the most amazing temperment I have ever seen. Scout is now 5 and a half months old and we have still not experienced "the puppy stage"  He is so well mannered and well behaved it is amazing.  He loves everyone and thinks everyone should LOVE him!  Nobody is a stranger to him.  He is such a great mix of Labrador and Poodle.  The parents must be amazing to breed such great pups.  Just enough poodle but still the labrador temperment.  His non shed coat is a huge plus and his care is so easy. 

I made the best decision to purchase my Labradoodle from you.  I loved that you had a family home and the puppies were a part of your family from the very start.  I could tell you loved each and every one of them.  I looked for a puppy in alot of places and nobody compared to your puppies. I also appreciate all of the help with any questions I have had even after the purchase of Scout.  You have become a family friend.  Again, thank you so much for the opportunity to own one of your pups.  Scout and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.   

 Respectfully,

The Carrillo Family

"Lucy is a fantastic dog. Easily trained, family friendly and a great member of our family. Each day we think about how lucky we are to have her in our lives. When we are at parks or elsewhere with her, people constantly ask what sort of dog she is as she is a total lover and super cute. She loves to fetch, jump in the water, cuddle with the kids, play with other dogs and just be with us." - Ariana Sexton

"Poncho is great. Calm, quiet, yet playful. Not much of a guard dog though! He also will not help my chocolate lab kill groundsquirrels on the farm. Great with kids though!" - Zack Griffin
