Dear Kathy

It has now been one month since receiving our puppy Khiara (Chula & Tio's litter). Khiara has settled into her new environment really well. In the first week we managed to house train her, teach her how to sit, shake and many other tricks. We can't believe how smart and intelligent she is. She caputured our heart from day one, it was love at first sight.

Khiara has brighted our lives and not only is she loved by us, but by all our our family and friends, she is the first to run to the door to greet our guests. S

he is gentle and playful, but gutsy as well. I guess that comes with being the only girl out of her litter. On Monday we are off to the vet for her 12 week injection and then we look forward to venturing into the real world. We thank you for providing us with such an affectionate and gorgeous puppy. She is all we ever dreamed of and much more.

We would love to keep in touch with the families from Chula & Tio's litter, so please feel free to pass on our email address (avalable on request)

Keep up the great work

Hi Kathy,

I thought I’d send you a picture of Stanley aged 6 months. Surely he is a brother of BRUNO, on your home page currently? They are the spitting image of each other and Stan looks like his mum just as much as Bruno does.

And they both share a sock fetish, although Stanley’s also extends to knickers! Could you put him up on the site with Bruno? Since taking this picture we’ve had Stanley trimmed, so he’s now a very unusual ugg-boot colour all over. So many people stop us, remark on his (now) unusual colouring and compliment me on what a handsome boy he is!

The whole family adores him.

Hi Kathy,

Just thought I'd give you an update on our little boy as he comes into his 12th week. When I picked him up from Mascot on Nov 23rd, he was not impressed with being freight. At the freight centre it took me 15 minutes to coax him out his crate but he eventually came.

Zappa is now 12 weeks old and is just gorgeous. He already knows sit, down, stay and has learnt the areas of the house he can't go into (sort of...this is an ongoing battle but hes getting it). He is fully house trained, mainly thanks to you Kathy and has only had one 'excitement' wee inside.

We stopped him from mouthing pretty early but occasionally he still tries it on. About 90% of the time hes very laid back and the rest... mad as a cut snake! He loves a cuddle but only on his terms ;-). Coming is not his strong point but were persisting.

His attention span is about 2 seconds unless there is food around then you have his undivided attention. My god hes a pig, the concept of chewing 20 times before swallowing is completely lost on him! He weighed in today at 5.6 kilos. He is now successfully sitting and waiting for his dinner, this is quite hilarious, as he goes into an almost zen like trance, staring at his bowl, until he gets the 'eat' release command.

. At this stage he hasn't gone down the path of destroying anything but  were looking at this as a 'when' rather than 'if' moment.a

He has a  lot of chew toys so this seems to get the majority of the attention. He goes in for his injections on Thursday so we can't wait until a  week after that when we can actually start walking him.We love him to bits and think its the best thing we've decided to do  for a long time.

Well I hope you, your family and your pack have a great Christmas &  New Year.

All the best

Tim, Kylie & Zappa

Hi Kathy,

Its Millie. Thank you for finding me these lovely parents. I am excited. I have already doubled my weight and have had my needle and wear a tic collar. I have my own yard and my own house and lots of toys. I am also very often invited in Mum's and Dad's house where they have a lot of brown grass which is so inviting for peeing on. And when I do, they get upset. I don't understand why.

When they don't want me peeing in the house they should not have that grass there. I still have to work that out. I also have a krate where I retire and sleep, if not in my house. I also have a play penn which can be anywhere in the house or on the deck. It does not have grass. I get a lot of cudles and give love bites in return, sometimes bloody ones which is not very popular with Mum and Dad. Yeh, and the food is good too.

I have made friends with the dogs next door and we visit on occasions. And I have to tell you that: last Friday I was with Mum and Dad at "Dogs and Grogs". That was great fun. All these dogs running around and playing. At the beginning I was scared, but after a couple of minutes I joined in and had a great time. Can not wait to get there again. At night I sleep in the laundry (in my krate) I have worked out by myself how to open the cat door to my yard so that I can get in and out at leisure.

Mum and Dad think that I am smart (what is the case) and I heard them saying that they may send me to university once I have finished puppy school. I will visit puppy school early October and am keen to learn new things.

After all, one has to be smart nowadays.

Love Millie

Hi Kathy,

I have been meaning to send you some update/feed back on the puppy that we purchased from you, but time gets away, and now it’s been 6 months since we got him. The puppy is from Chula x Tio’s 07 litter (black collar) and we called him “Teddy”. My daughter Kirsten and I came up to your place to see the litter, and we picked him out.

He stayed with Rachel for a few weeks before we could take him home. We have been extremely happy with this little fellow – he’s a real crowd stopper/chick magnet when we go out with him. The number of people who have said that they want one just like him has been numerous.

They have enquired where we got him from, and if half of them ended up contacting you or checking out the website, then it must surely have generated some enquiries. He has fitted in well with the family, even winning over my partner who was not keen to get a dog again.

He goes with us most places, and I’m glad some of the cafes around Coffs Harbour allow dogs, because it gives the dog more socialising, and it helps break down the barriers that dogs shouldn’t be allowed out in public places. He has become a very inside dog, but with our backyard situation that is a good thing.

We are the place, that had to get the puppy downstairs, out the back, and then back upstairs to get to the backyard. We did purchase a “Pet Loo” which after an initial teething period, Teddy did learn to master. The box the “Pet Loo” came in featured photos of Labradoodles on it.He has such a loving nature, and mixed in with a rascal personality, makes for a great mate.  He loves the beach and racing up to every dog that comes along.  We need to work on this part though, as I don’t want him to get into trouble one day.

Thanks for a great little family companion, my daughter just adores him (and he’s become my little shadow).

You were certainly right about neutered males making loyal companions.  I was concerned initially as I had only had females before, but I think being desexed early makes the difference in the males.

Attached are a couple of photos for your info.

Cheers
Ditte Krams – Kirsten and Greg

Thanks for getting the group together… it was so lovely to see pictures of Macch’s brother and sister. The children especially thought it was pretty special. They picked Mac up tried to show him. Well, Macchiato has certainly brought a lot of joy, laughs and love to our family. He has settled in so well and like the others we are so grateful for the hard work that Kathy and her team put in before he came to us.I think we might have the “big boy” of the litter. He weighed in this morning at 7.1kg.

I promise I am not feeding him too much but he has basically doubled in size as you will see from the piccies. We are also doing the modified barf diet which he loves with some different treats on top.Kathy, yesterday we took him around to Nikki and Andrews house to meet Lola! They had sooo much fun together and played for about 4 hours straight. It was so lovely to watch. 

We are all heading up to the beach on boxing day so they are going to have a ball up there.Our little fellow is the biggest sook too.  He has got into this routine of needing to go for a wee about 4.45am of a morning so we let him out and he goes and plays for about an hour or so in the yard after which he comes back and will not leave us alone unless we spend ten minutes cuddling him and picking him up for hugs…(lucky we are early risers)Anyway, would love to hear and see more piccies of other brothers and sister so pls stay in touch.

Cheers
Lisette, Scott, Harry, Bronte and Macchiato

Dear Kathy, Ruby has been a part of our family for some months now, and we can't imagine life without her. She is a bundle of joy and affection. She is the best friend of our two daughters - despite chewing the hands and feet off Barbies! It's hard for her though, as Ruby thinks she is one of the girls, and can't understand why she isn't allowed in the playroom!

We can't go anywhere with her without being stopped in the street with people commenting on how beautiful she is and what a gorgeous colour she is.

Thank you,

Nikki Hutchinson

Hi Kathy

Just wanted to give you an update on our gorgeous Gem. She is now 5 months old and we can't imagine life without her. The children love her to bits and she adores them. She loves the beach and the sea and is so, so good with other dogs. We have done puppy school and everyone there thought she was just lovely. Our walks take twice as long as we get stopped by everyone saying how beautiful she is and asking for a cuddle! We couldn't be more happy with her, thank you.

Best wishes

Lin, Andrew, Meg & Sam

Kathy,

Good to hear from you. I am doing well. I'm glad you liked the Christmas card, I think it turned out pretty well. I wanted to get a good family picture before Mike went off to Iraq. I took that with my tripod and camera timer. Christmas was good, and we stayed busy, even taking a four day trip to Kauai, which was lovely.

My parents spent the holiday with us. Mike left the first week in January, and we miss him, but have gotten into a routine that keeps us busy and the days seem to go by fast. I am firm on getting the kids into bed by 8pm.

So I can have a few hours in the evening all to myself. I think this helps me to stay sane. Wow, it's so nice of you to donate the puppies to become assistance dogs! Your dogs are wonderful and I know they will make for a good line of dogs for that purpose. I love Sulley more and more as the time passes. He is such a excellent dog! Maddie is so attached to him! She usually won't even share him with Noah or Grace, he is her dog as far as she's concerned. He sleeps with her at night.

She actually lays her head on him like he's her pillow! He doesn't mind, but he waits untill she falls asleep and slips out from under her and lays on the floor or the foot of her bed. I think maybe he gets to hot. Then he jumps up on the bed with me for the rest of the night.

He is just the best dog! I keep thinking maybe we'll order another from you someday, but probably best to wait a little while longer. Since we are moving soon. But the kids keep saying they would like to have one more dog, so that they get the opprotunity to love on one. Maddie really won't let them pet or love on him at all. It's too funny! The other two have to sneak when she's not looking and pet and love on him. I told them maybe we will someday. I certainly love the one we have now, and I bet he'd love the company, he just loves to play with other dogs. In the mean time I am trying to encourage my brother in law to get a labradoodle from you for his family. They live in California. They have wonderful children. We move May 1st, that's the day we actually fly out of here to Montery California.

I have good friends in the San Francisco area and they love dogs and have a golden retriever, they are going to pick us up from the airport and we will stay with them as long as we need to. We will hopefully be given a home by the military right away. It's nice to have some friends to stay with though, especially ones that will take in Sulley too! I don't want to board him, I just hate that, and I haven't had to do it once yet! I will keep this email address, I have no plans to change it, but I will of course give you a forwarding address once I get a house. If you are ever in Northern California in the next two years, please let me know, you are welcome in our home anytime! I do hope we get to visit you sometime in Australia, I really would love to see such a beautiful country, with such unique wildlife. I can't believe how much rain you've had!!

They had a good time. Mike managed to send flowers even from Iraq and I was so surprised to get them. They are planning a doodle romp for April 20th here, and it will be hosted at the house where Tom Selleck's character, Magnum PI lived in the TV show. It's a really nice estate and will be awfully nice to visit.

Should be a lot of fun. Wish you were closer, would be nice to have you attend. Anyway, we are all doing really well and in good health. I hope despite the rain and mold you are doing well and the pups and dogs are all well even though they must be soggy most of the time! It was really nice to hear from you. I am attaching a photo of Maddie and Sulley that I took recently. I just love it, because they are such good buddies.

Feel free to add it to your website with your photos of families and their dogs if you want.

I will try and send a photo of Maddie asleep on him, it's so sweet! Talk to you later.

Take care, Kate

Hi Kathy

We have had the BEST weekend! We have had visitors from Adelaide, which has been great for her. This evening we went down to the harbour and sat by Luna Park (don't worry, we didn't put her down) and everyone walking past loved her, and kids stroked her or said "is it real?". 

She went to puppy school on Thursday. I was a bit worried it was too soon, but it was the first of a 5 week course, and the trainer is brilliant and I learnt so much. The trainer said the earlier the better - but there are some much bigger puppies in the class and they were a bit boisterous, but she coped well. 

Rafa is amazing. She has only had one accident inside (and that was my fault, I didn't wait long enough) and she slept in the crate beside the bed for 2 nights without a sound, and now is in sleeping in the lounge room - no crying at all. She has learnt to sit, and is really happy. We have cut off that bit of hair which is sticking in her eye in the photo. She is very placid, but also very playful.

Thanks for breeding such a beautiful dog :)

Best regards - Jan and Robin

Hi there Kathy,

Its been a while so I thought I had better let you know how Bagheera is settling in. Well let me tell you, we are all one big happy family. He is just marvelous. Simply the best dog ever. We love him dearly, he is just a delight. Very easy so far in our little bits of training. Night time is no problem he has been sleeping through since his 4th night. He knows where to do Bizzo (his business) and off he goes.

The rare accident, but we have had a bit of rain. Not that the rain stops him. Tony came in the other day and asked did you buy a fish or a dog"? I said "why"? "Cuz he loves the water the rain" he is a cracker an absolute cracker. He's good in the car on the little trips that we have done with him, nothing big or long yet. Working on the lead at the Mo. Sit and Drop is good. He loves his toy basket. He goes over checks out what he wants and eventually chooses something to play with. He is simply FANTASTIC. We just l;ove him to death. We are so happy and have you to thank. I did good choosing you, and you did good choosing him for us. Thanks again, oh.........................do you want my 4 year old?

We will take 3 more Bagheera's. ha! Ha! Ha! I can hear her having a whinge and he is at my feet peaceful.
