Hi Sam

Happy Christmas from Sophie (and from us, of course).
She's doing fine, growing like mad (nearly two stone now!), and is going to grow up into a super dog.

All the best Lionel

Hi Sam

I thought you might like to see the attached photo of Sophie at 7 months old -- just after a bath and a trim!

She's doing fine. Bright; lively; affectionate; and still growing. She's now taller (just) than Jade, our golden retriever. We
hadn't realised what a talking point she would be; I can guarantee that every time I take her out someone will stop to admire
and ask about her. And I've lost count of the number of times I've been asked if she's a labradoodle!

She's a typical teenager: absolutely brilliant at training class (we've been doing rally obedience), but can sometimes run riot
when we're walking with her friends (particularly Henry the chocolate labrador and Holly the German shepherd). And she's a
real mud magnet -- but it brushes out eventually. :-)

All the best  Lionel
Hi ya Sam,
I was just looking at your website to see how the
dogs were doing and thought I’d let you know how
Gypsy’s pup number 3 is getting on.  By the time
we got home we’d named her “Libby”.
She’s very mischievous but loving too and loves
nothing better than to curl up with you on the
settee after a being out for a walk.  Libby loves the
beach and wasn’t afraid of the water pools the first
time we took her down, although its taken a few
times before she went into the sea and she loves
helping in the garden!  
Thanks again for a beautiful puppy!

Hi Sam,
Thought we would send some birthday
photo's of our Poppy, she was 2 at the
end of November. Can't believe where
the time has gone, she is so special to
us and as you can see, has passed
her kennel club good citizens bronze
and silver and is on her way to gold.
I've started taking her on tracking days
and she loves it, a great friend and
companion and always eager to please.
Regards Steve, Maxine, Claire, Chris
and Poppy.

Hope you are all well, I see your dogs are keeping you very busy.  The girls are keeping us very busy, they are
both nuts such good fun to have around and they are both so lovable and so enjoy having a cuddle,  training is
still going well, both enjoy my garden pond and when every they get the chance they like to go in.  When ever we
take them out for a walk people always comment on how lovely they both are, and I can't believe that they are
both 1 year old now, seems like we have always had them.  Well here is an updated photo for you of them both,
Peppa is the one laying down, she likes doing that.

All the very best to you all.

love Cheryl, John, Chloe and Phoebe, and not forgetting our super girls

Just to let you know that Buster has settled in
really well, he did not go off his food, he
sleeps really well in his crate and just loves it
out in the garden with Billy.  

Thanks for a great puppy

Finally found time to email you and let you know how Jet is getting along.  He is coming upto 11
months now and is a big lad.  He is such a joy and we all love him to bits.  Getting Jet was the best
thing we have ever done!  He is such a character and so loving - no matter where we are, he is
there sat with us, even if it is under the dining room table while we are having dinner.  He has
become so much a member of the family, well behaved and very loving we feel so lucky to have him,
he brings us so much pleasure.  Please let me know how to submit a couple of photos of him.  
Regards

Hi Sam & Ian,
I can't believe it's three years since Asha arrived, and being as it's her birthday I thought I would drop you a
note to let you know how she is doing.

Asha has turned into a very well rounded dog, both as a family pet and as a working dog. The kids wouldn't be
without her and she is constantly around my feet while I'm sat working.  Out in the field she is so game.. she will
head into anything (just in-case) and in typical springer style she end up covered in thorns and mud by the end
of the day. She loves being out, either in the fells walking or just strolling round our local woods.  She has a
passion for water unless it is clean bath water.

I have attached a couple of pics for you. Congratulations on the move, I hope that you are all settling in well.
Best regards,  Andy
Hi Sam,

Billy is doing great, we love him! He's
weekend at the coast yet to be
downloaded on the computer.
We're talking about getting him a
friend and wouldn't think of going
anywhere else but you guys to get
Either springer and cocker?
Hope all is well with the family and
dogs.

Kind regards

Dylan is coming on fine, having great fun in the snow (pics attached).
Is now 'of the lead' quite a lot when out on the bridlepath, and paths up
to the moors. Recall is good, as is 'walking to heel' as long as there is
not to much distraction.He socialises well with other dogs and has
been good when meeting people.
The funniest thing is his reaction to things on TV   He watches
anything with other dogs, the horizon programme about dogs and
humans kept him busy for nearly the full hour .He reacts to some
strange things though    actors arguing of being distressed and
suspensfull music seem to make him quite worried and protective.
Never had a dog do that before. Loves the snow and seems quite
happy to be out in it.
Longer walks have got to about 2hrs, usually up the lanes towards the
moors, and occasionally up onto the tops. Not encountered any loose
sheep or grouse yet but doesn't seem bothered by the ones in the
fields we walk by.
Best wishes John Marion and Dylan

I’m sure you get sick of
seeing follow up photo’s
but thought I’d forward
you this one of our
two……..Poppy has
settled in brilliantly and
is very entertaining.
They are pretty relaxed
for a change, proper
couch potatoes!

Family up in Cheshire
Hi Sam,

Just letting you know how well Darcy has
settled. She cried on and off for the first night
nights. She has had a very busy weekend
and was the center of attention at the party
on Saturday! Several families now want a
labradoodle and one have already asked for
your details. She loves the garden and plays
football with the boys. Here is a picture of her.
Thanks for everything we are all delighted
with our new addition to the family.
Karen, Mark, Charlie, Sam and Darcy.
Hi Sam,
Thanks again for coco and jet. They
are doing really well and are lovely
gentle
boys. We will see you again!

Many thanks, Hazel.

Mike the Springerdoodle, who lives with Alison & family
Mike is getting on (from your litter born in mid September last
year)
He is now nearly 8 months and he is thriving.  He is doing
really well and always gets admired when we are out on our
walks.  He even has a Golden Retriever girlfriend!
He was very quick to settle and only cried on the first night for
about half an hour and was absolutely fine after that.  He has
been to puppy training which he really enjoyed and we are
starting obedience training next month.
He has obviously done a few naughty things (steeling food off
the side, chewing dummies etc) but he has learnt very quickly
what are his toys and which aren’t.  As I have two small
children I obviously have toys around all the time and I am
pleased to say he has never destroyed any thing of theirs.  
He did however, chew and ruin my husband’s mobile phone
which he was not pleased about!  It is just a case of watching
what you leave around when they are small.
He is really good and gentle with the children and really
enjoys playing with them.  My smallest (2 in July) is really fond
of him and always wants to give him his chews.  I’m looking
forward to our first summer all together.
I have attached some pictures so that you can see what a
grown up boy he is now!
Once again, thank you so much for such a lovely, affectionate
dog (ps - the non shedding is BRILLIANT!  Other dog owners
are very jealous when I say he doesn’t malt, especially as he
has such a lovely coat).
Thank You!!!! Lots of love from Alison and family xx
Sam,
The children have been pestering me
to let you know how our Izzie the
Springerdoodle is coming along...She
was born April 2010 to Cracker and
Sally.  She is now 8 months old and we
can't remember a time when she wasn't
a member of the family!!! She is full of
fun, love and more than her fair share
of mischief!!  She is getting very good
off the lead (altho easily distracted by
imaginary leaves ) and as the attached
photo shows, she had no hesitation in
extending her friendliness to 9 swans...
The children love her and she is so
gentle with them, although her
enthusiastic welcome for them when
they come in from school knows no
bounds :)
We love Izzie (or Fruit-Loop as my
friends call her...ahem) , she is an
adorable member of the family and the
best decision we ever made!!
Kind Regards
Fiona, Scott (9) and Lorna (8)
