“Truly, this dog is one in million. Ever since adopting her, I am always hearing about horrible stories about puppies and how they wrecked havoc on the owner’s house, but she has been great with very minor issues. I am constantly amazed at her intelligence and intuitive-ness. I think she is one of the smartest dogs I have ever known, and sooooo very sweet in temperment. She really just likes to be with us, and she makes me laugh every day”. – Kate

Hi Barbara and family,

We have been very busy with Teddy this last month, as you can imagine!  We want to do everything right.

First I wanted to say how much we just LOVE LOVE LOVE little Teddy.  What an amazing sweetheart – and I give all credit to you and your family.  I tell everyone I know that he had to have had some amazingly great socialization with you and your children (and hubby) to be so wonderful and loving with people.  Teddy loves everybody.  My son was here to visit for a week this month and he and Teddy really bonded.  I will try to attach a picture of he and teddy at the beach.  We wanted to introduce him to the experience.  He loved the water.  He also does very well on the leash and loves walking with me.

F1 Goldendoodle Testimonials

Summer 2010 Litter

Here are some pictures and emails from the parents of our last litter of puppies. This was Daisy’s first litter. It was an all black litter of standard F1 Goldendoodles. Picture don’t even do them justice. They’re majestic, regal creatures with shiny coats and calm sweet temperments. They were truly a pleasure to have around. We will always miss them and remember them with joy in our hearts.

Here’s a very kind testimonial written by Kristen, Gilly’s Mom!

We have loved our Goldendoodle, Gilly, the instant we picked her at Barbara’s house! We couldn’t wait to come back and pick her up to take her home. We were so impressed with the care of the dogs, their health, socialization, home, and obvious happiness. I love Dreamydoodles helpful and interesting website also. It’s apparent these owners really love and care about their dogs. I regularly check their website to see the newest pictures and posts.

Gilly within the first couple of weeks of coming home. Everything around her (except the laundry basket) had been claimed as hers!

Absolutely all of our dealings with Dreamydoodles was top notch. I highly recommend them and am still telling everyone who asks about our puppy about them! Our goldendoodle is happy, healthy, well adjusted, and a loving addition to our family. As promised, she does not shed! It was something I intentionally looked for in a breed, as I suffer from pet allergies. The breed shares the best traits of their parents – intelligence, loyalty, friendly and affectionate. So much fun to have with two active teenagers and extended family with many other dogs around. It is a complete joy owning one of Dreamydoodles goldendoodles.

Gilly with her Goldendoodle Cousin

Little Miss Pink is now Gilly, and is doing soooo well!!! We love her so much and she is such a happy little thing!! My daughter just keeps saying “I can’t believe how much she just loves us!” (like we had to earn it or something!) Our Chihuahua was nervous at first I guess, must be what she’s remembering. Gilly is just attacking us with love! She is a nut! She is also very smart. After constantly showing her the back door and taking her out continually to potty, she was already going to that door by the end of the first day! The only accident she had the first two days was when I went to the store and the kids were home alone with her and didn’t get her outside in time after a nap. She’s doing great in the kennel at night.

She sleeps next to my daughter’s bed. We got up with her 3 or 4 times the first night and only once the second night. She’s just doing awesome. Today is her first day at home alone in the kennel, every two hours one of us will be able to go home and let her out. No accidents in the kennel – we sectioned it off to make it small, as advised. The kids and I need to sit down together and watch all of the videos. I know they will be very helpful. All of our family met the puppy over the weekend as well. Of course they’re also in love with her.

My brother with the other goldendoodle brought his over last night. His dog is just about a year and a half old and is HUGE. She was really intimidated by him because he has no body awareness yet and just pounced at her! Eventually she came around, but the adult dog was too big and clumsy to play with yet! All in all, we’re doing fabulous. I’ll send you pictures!  Thanks for staying in touch and caring so much about your dogs. I think that’s awesome.

Emails from Sandra, Don and their puppy Lyla

Lyla is doing great.  We had our visit to Fremont Vet Clinic yesterday and  Lyla came though fine – perfectly healthy! She’s quite relaxed & adaptable.  Last night she slept beside me, in her bed, woke a few times but went back to sleep when stroked & reassured.  This morning very frisky, jumped all over Minntah (grand-daughter) when she came over, was very excited.  Had lots of walks around neighborhood, doing well on leash.  Played with all four grandkids.  Eating well.

Sandra and Don

I’m lucky enough to get to see Lyla’s Daddy and Mommyy downtown Portland now and then and they even brought her by my work one afternoon so I could see her and she was so beautiful!! I love these little Doods and I feel lucky to have found them all homes in the Great Northwest.

You are truly an awesome person. You go way above and beyond any breeder I’ve ever dealt with. The patience, compassion and loving  kindness you most obviously showed these puppies at their most vulnerable time is so obvious in the calm and loving nature I see in Matteo, and I’m sure the others.

And about your website – it is filled with so very much helpful information and also fun stuff and adorable pictures.

I feel blessed that I found you as a breeder.

F1 Goldendoodle – Mac – 12wks

Email from Mac’s Mommy,

I am glad you care about him so much.  It shows the quality of care he received and makes me feel very good about recommending you to anyone who would want to get a doodle.  Laurel has already decided when she gets another doodle that she will wait for one of your litters.

His first night was great.  He did get quite sick in the car, but other than that he slept the whole way home.  Of course that meant major energy for when he got home!  He seems very comfortable and slept very well last night.  I was very impressed with how well he took to his kennel.  I figure it is probably because he had his bed and giraffe.  Thank you so much for giving us those – I am sure it helps greatly with his transition.

Mac – 12 weeks

Mac has been a great addition to my life.  I get giddy when I come home from work so we can play.  He is such a smart and easy guy and so good with children.  I get approached often by small kids who want to hug on him because he is so fluffy and he just sits there and lets them squeeze him or rolls over on his belly so they can play with him.  His temperment and easy training has made me look into seeing if he can be a volunteer dog for the Delta Society.  They have dogs and handlers that come to hospitals and hospice homes to cheer up the terminally ill.  I am waiting until he gets a little older so he won’t be too overwhelmed.

The vet complimented me on how healthy he was when he went in for his initial puppy check up and enjoys seeing him.  She said about him “If everyone had a dog like him, the world would be a much happier place.“  He is such a cheerful pooch that when he was neutered, he woke up from the anesthesia and wanted to play.  Don’t worry, he hasn’t been to the vet often, he just left a big impression on them. 

Mac & his Bone – 4 months

As you can hopefully see from his picture, he has a beautiful coat.  He is such a handsome guy and is doing fabulously.

Oliver

Oliver and Teddy – Hey! Your paw is almost as big as mine? What!!

Hi Barbara,

I am writing to you to thank you for bringing Oliver (aka Blue Boy into my life. When you said he was going to change my life I didn’t quite know what you mean but I do now. The amount and love and companionship I have found in him is boundless. I am in total love. People make fun of me because I am a crazy dog mom. For example, when I took him to the vet to get neutered I cried my eyes out and paced around he house all day. He is the joy of my day and my best friend. I couldn’t picture life without him.

Thank you,
Kathleen

Letter from Calley and Cooper

Cooper is doing really well – we adore him!  He has been such a great addition to our family, and has such a wonderful personality. He is so happy to meet new people and his tail is always wagging a mile a minute. He is very perceptive and picks up on people’s moods so well. We have a friend who recently had to put his dog down, and when he came over the next day to visit, Cooper immediately went and sat right next to him and snuggled. Usually when we have guests over, Cooper goes from person to person and wants to play, and this was the first time we had seen him do this. He also puts on a bit of a “guard dog” mentality when my husband is gone. He is super alert to any sounds that happen around the house during the night and will get up to investigate where they come from, whereas when my husband is home Cooper sleeps like a log!

He has been like a sponge with learning different commands – the only ones we are still working on are stay and heel. Both of those he can do for a while, but then he gets distracted by something and forgets what he is supposed to be doing. So we practice them in short increments, and have been gradually making him do it for longer; he is easy to re-direct when he gets distracted, because he wants to please us!

Last time we weighed him he was 54 pounds – that was probably at the very beginning of April or end of March 2011, so I would guess that he is somewhere between 55-60 now. His coat is soft and silky, with loose curls. It is black, but he has white hairs throughout, especially along his back, with a few around each eye! It definitely isn’t a fleecy coat, it feels more like a golden retriever than a poodle. He does shed some, but nothing like a lab or retriever.  Brook hasn’t had the allergic reaction that he typically has with dogs, it has been much more mild (he is pretty miserable without medication at people’s houses who have shedding dogs, but with Cooper his allergies have been much easier to handle.) We knew when we got him that because he was F1 there would still be a chance for shedding, and the allergies that come with it.

We always get compliments about what a beautiful and friendly dog he is! Thank you for checking in!

Best, Calley and Brook

Lucy

Letter from Marlene and Lucy

Lucy is doing great!  Just finished Obediance training and she did great and they recommended her to be a “therapy dog” to go on field trips to places like Children’s hospital for kids to pet and snuggle with.  She’s very happy and mellow and loving. Here’s a couple pictures from our play date w/ her brother Cooper (above) in Seattle.

F1b Labradoodles Testimonials

Spring 2011 Litter

Tate – 8 wk old Labradoodle

Tate cried for the first ~5mins, but then fell asleep and didn’t get sick at all!  He has really been a dream so far (I know it’s only been 24 hours, but still no inside accidents and he even whines at the front door when he has to go!!!) He’s not very happy with the crate though…we’ll have to work that one out over the coming days!  He follows me everywhere in my house – i felt bad this AM when I was putting away laundry and he kept following me, laying down where I was and then having to move again!
Here’s a couple cute pics!  He’s gotten really attached to his monkey toy Will send more photos as Tate keeps growing!

Moose – 8 wk old Labradoodle

Barbara,

Moose is doing good within 20 mins of leaving he was starting to whine so we stopped and he went pee and poop then got back in the van and laid down on the pillow and went to sleep the rest of he way home.  When we got hom the 1st thing we did was take him straight to the yard and he peed.  He only had one accident in the house last night.  At 1st last night he didn’t like the kennel at bedtime but we didn’t give into him and after about 10 mins. he went to sleep.  This morning he woke up and was whinning so I got him and straight outside we went and he went pee and poop.  He is eating and drinking.  He has found that my living room couch is very comfortable.  We went and got him some more toys like you have and he loves them.
You also have a great family and home.  Attached are some pictures we took of Moose last night. I will send you emails once or twice a week on how he is doing, maybe more if I have any questions.

Thanks,
Heather
