Hi Gail, Tux is doing great! I keep telling him that he is putting Riley (his big sister) to shame because he's so well behaved and can potty outside and sit already. We are just loving him! Him and Riley are really warming up to each other too. I've attached a picture for you - Riley decided she wanted to get into Tux's crate and obviously does not fit :) Take care, Laura |

Gail, Thought I would let you know all is Very Well with Checkers and the Miller family. This dog is a treat to have. Smart and open to training. While it took us more time to adjust to him (than him to us) we all seem to be in sinc now. He is seen here “working” in my office. I keep thinking how fortunate we were to have met you and have found your kennel. You have made the relationship complete between us all. We watched the CD of photos the other night and thought how wonderful it was to have them to enjoy. |

Hi Gail! Here is my sweet Lucy! She is so
awesome! Everyone at puppy daycare just adore her!
She is tops in her puppy kindergarten, too !!! She is
so amazing! Thank you for such a wonderful friend
(I am her pet and vice versa!!!)! (Lisa) |

 Willie Nelson and Toby Keith Willie Nelson & Toby Keith are full brothers, coming from a litter by Latte' and Buster Brown, and are three years old this February. I'm so glad we got two! They are great buddies and still love to play with each other. And, we don't feel so badly when we have to board them because they have each other until we get home. Willie &Toby are such wonderful companions for us, and I cannot imagine our lives without the two of them! Thank you for letting us be their forever parents! Jane & Steve Hipp, Wichita, KS. |

Hi Gail
We went to the park yesterday and again today.
They love to run and Chukar and Buster swim.
Maggie is a Girly girl so none of that for her.
Enjoy this great weather

Mae is doing so well. She loves to run but stays right
near us at all times. I have attached another picture.
We love all of the pictures on your website! It's fun to
see all of the other dogs and families.
Thanks,
Laura

Hello Gail Wanted to send along an updated photo of Maddie on her perch. She and Jackson could be the sweetest dogs ever and we are so grateful to have found you. There is not a day that goes by that someone doesn't comment on how beautiful and how white and fluffy she is:) They are the best of friends and have brought so much joy into our family. Hope you are all well. xo Kristen D |

Hi Gail. Just a quick note to let you know how Lucy is
doing! Here is a pic of her after her first bath! She is
such a little beauty! And so smart! Her puppy
kindergarten teacher just goes on and on about how
intelligent and cute Miss Lucy is ! Thank you again for
my Lucy!
Sincerely,
Lisa

Hi Gale!
i hope you and all your puppies are doing well!
Sophie Mae has been the best dog ever! She loves to
sit in laps and snuggle! She also loves walks if she
can have a pine cone in her mouth! (its really
cute!) She has made friends with the puppies next
door and they are all bigger then her, but when they
play she wins.The cutest things about her are that
she LOVES our cat toys, the way she chases the cats
and at night she runs laps around the house like
crazy dog. She also loves to help do laundry and
sweep! I have also sent some of her cutest pictures!
Best wishes!
Andy, Debbie, Jillian and Sophie Mae

Ellie is
confused by all the new furniture and baby toys coming
into the house! She seems to be saying "How do I get in
my new dog bed, Dad?"
Just 7 and a half weeks to go until our little boy is
here!!
Hope all is well with you!
Love, Jess

Hi Gail!
Hope you, family, and dogs are all doing well this New
Year!
Mae is just wonderful, and we all love her. Her best
friend is my mother's dog Ginger. They have trails
behind their house, and the dogs could run all day.
I have included pictures of our family (from left, me,
Meredith holding Mae, Heather, and Pete), and Mae and
Ginger on a recent walk.
I also have some great movies that I will try to send in
a separate email, but not sure they will go through.
Will stay in touch,
Laura

Dear Gail and family,
Happy 2012!
Abby spent the weekend with her sister and we thought
that you would like to see the ladies relaxing.
They are so cute together and sometimes mischievous.
All the best
The Tillingers
Thanks for sharing this photo of the girls, we still miss them both! Gail (Abby and Sarah are littermates, retired breeding girls, out of our Rutlands Lil Cocoa and Primetimes Sir William of Whispering Winds) |

Hi Gail, Here is a photo I snapped of Maisey last night! She was worn out from playing in the snow ☺ Barb |
|

Star @ 3 months. She is already weighing 9 pounds and is doing great! She is having lots of fun with all of us, especially with our daughter Chiara and dog Angel. She is a delightful, smart and playful puppy. :) | |
|
Gail. Thank you so much for letting us bring home such a wonderful animal. Bailey is the absolute pride of the house. She loves everyone and everyone loves her back. She had a wonderful birthday Christmas Eve many new toys that were destroyed in a matter of minutes. She weighs all but 17lbs and is full of it all the time absolutely the best pup I have ever had. God Bless you Mike Brenda and Bailey |

 Monty, 1 year today. Thank you Carron |

Gail, Here is one of your precious babies. Toulouse
turned one year old on the 24th of December and because
of him, I have had a year full of love, laughter,
mischief and fun.
It's been a hectic year. I have extensively remodeled
two houses, sold one and purchased another and moved. My
friends thought I had lost it to throw him in the mix
with potty training and introducing him into the family,
but, in truth, Toulouse is what kept me sane, on target
and laughing. We are settled now and through it all he
has been my greatest gift.
So....thank you to the Widman family, Bandit and Bindi
for bringing this little boy into my life. Love to you
all and the happiest of New Years. Gigi

Hi Gail, Happy New Year! I hope this email finds you well. It’s been a wonderful time with our dear Bandit. Can you believe it’s been a month shy of a year already! He thoroughly enjoyed his first Christmas with us and was suitably spoiled rotten! We’ve had lots of car trips, walks and family functions. He’s turned into quite the little adventurer and walks everywhere with me. Bandit has wielded his usual magic personality and has charmed our family, neighbours and friends to bits. The true gift of his gentle nature shone through brightly when he succeeded (on numerous occasions) in bringing smiles and giggles to the face of my mother. She suffers ever so with her health so smiles have become rare. He truly is a special blessing.
Gail, we want to sincerely thank you for the truly precious gift that Bandit is to us. He is an integral part of our family and we are blessed to have him. He is happy, healthy and raring to go every morning!
All the best to you, your family and the brood of furry doodles that brighten our lives so very much. Here’s to 2012 – May it be filled with love, laughter and peace Deborah |

Hey, we got the video of Abby's baby pics. Thank you so
much; they are so cute! We can't imagine all the
time it must have taken you to take them all and with
her looking at you....wow! Our whole family adores
her. She is so fun and sweet! I would say she's
good except for she is teething so chews on anything and
everything haha! We are making progress on the potty
training. If she goes near the slider she probably has
to go. We can't believe how often she goes.
We took her in for her 2nd shot last Tuesday and started puppy socialization/obedience training that evening. She did well with the three other pups and learned to respond to her name and "come". We are practicing this for next Tuesday. My parents have brought their 11 month old doxie over twice now and Abby and he really have fun playing. Sure wears her out. She is totally comfortable here now and is very relaxed. At first she was a little nervous of new people and noises. She is a great little sleeper and if she gets woken up, like you said, you just say "shhhhh" and she goes right back to sleep.
Thanks for checking in Cafe's weight records. 27 pounds,
give or take a little, sounds great. How much does her
dad weigh as an adult and would that change you guess on
Abby?
She loves to chew on the raw hide you gave her when she
is starting to get tired. What kind is it; we'd like to
get some more? I can comb her when she is tired too. She
is so soft and cuddly!
Glad to hear Peppers/Lucy got a forever home now too. Im
sure they will love her to pieces since she has Abby's
temperament.
Hope you're having a happy New Years and enjoying your
latest puppies!
Isn't she a pretty little baby!!! (proud mom huh!)

Dear Gail, Just a quick note to let you know that Lucy is doing great! She has met the whole family and all are totally in love! We went to the vet this morning. My vet said to be sure and tell you what a great job you have done! She said Lucy is in excellent health! She also said she had never seen such a great demeanor in a pup! Lucy has spent the day playing with my grand kids as well as my kids. My Mom and brother also came by for a visit. We are having a few days of indian summer. It has been warm and sunny and Lucy and I have enjoyed exploring our back yard. She is so sweet and soft that I could hold her all day. Thank you so much for all your help and for raising such an amazing dog! I will send some pics soon. Have a Happy New Year! With sincere gratitude, Lisa |

Hi Gail, Just a few pics of our cute little girl, she is just the best in every way. we are so glad we were able to find you and Abby. Christmas will be special this year, cant wait. Merry Christmas, Dave and Debbie |

Hi
Gail and Wayne,
Just wanted to let you know how well Leonardo is doing.
His delightful nature has won the hearts of all our
family and friends and many a stranger.
We are so impressed with how content and happy he is,
not to mention how well he is doing with his training.
He's going to keep us on our toes to be a step ahead of
him.
We had him at the vet this morning, he's 9 1/2 lbs and
in perfect health.
Still scratching a wee but the vet wasn't concerned.
Gratefully,
Gord and Laura

Words do not do justice to express our level of appreciation
for the wonderful pup, Rocky. He uses the potty park on his
first day here. He was in the middle of Xmas chaos and
cuddled with each person who wanted to cuddle. He sleeps all
night in his crate. He is so calm, fun, ready to please. We
thank you ever so for creating such a special new addition
to our family. AJ calls him "my new best friend!" He is the
best. Thanks, Gail. Diana |

Below snap taken of Heidi following her first grooming!! She
was very cooperative with great results. The bow did not
last much longer than the time to take this photo!! She is nearing 5 months now. We have started lessons with a dog trainer and are all amazed how quickly she grasped and complied with the commands. We are all on the same page with her training and now making great progress. The "heel" command is a work in progress but it's mostly due to her wanting to jump up and greet all who cross her path. She is a delightful dog and a great inclusion to our family. She brings daily laughter to our home. Fond wishes, The McDermotts |

Hi Gail,
Thanks for the cute card and calendar. We are still
working on Luciano's Xmas photo shoot.
All the best

Hello Gail, Honor and I got back from visiting family in Portland late last night, and there was a package for me. Thank you so much for the handmade blanket honoring "Honor" and Whispering Winds - what a lovely gift. He is just everything we wanted in one small package - intelligent, gentle. fun and a companion. - I can never thank you enough for giving me this opportunity to bring him into our home and become a family member - he is so loved by everyone from a 2 year old grandchild to a 90 year old great - grandmother - he puts a smile on everyone's face. Hopefully over the holiday I will get a photo to you. He has had his second set of shots and is growing - he weighs 5.1 pounds! I believe you asked me about Bend and it is on the other side of the Cascade Mountains - it is called a "High Desert" - we have temperatures that range from 40 in the day to 14 at night! We get snow but it doesn't usually last too long - however Mount Bachelor is here and that gets all the snow. So far we have been pretty lucky with just cold nights and no snow, but winter is just coming - so we will see. Wishing you and your family a very peaceful and joyful holiday season and all whispering Winds Labradoodles as well. Before, I forget congratulations on your parti's - Truffle's had a beautiful litter. Please keep me updated on Chantilly Laces testing because I will be sending another $200 to be put on her wait list for her Spring mating. Happy Holidays and thank you again, Janet |

Hi Gail,
Thought you might like these. Pictures are attached.
Movies are in next emails and are a few minutes each.
All show Mae and Ginger at my mother's house for a visit
yesterday (she is taking the movie). Ginger is so gentle
with Mae.
Will send picture of the whole family when I can get
everyone together!
Mae saw the vet on 11/16/11 and she is in perfect
health.

Hi Gail, as promised here is a picture of Phoebe pre haircut. It is very hard to get a good one -- I don't know how you do it!
Just wanted to say hi and let you know that we are all
loving Phoebe. She is very sweet and smart and so
wanting to please us. She's doing well on her training
and I guess now we have to brace ourselves for the
teething times!! We haven't cut her hair yet and she is
one big fluffy so I guess we should do that soon.
I did pass on your name to a friend who may reach out to
you.
Happy Thanksgiving and best regards, Sabrina P

Hi Gail, Hope you, your family, and your new gorgeous puppies had a wonderful Thanksgiving. In the spirit of this holiday, I wanted to pass along our warmest thank you for Bodhi. As you said, he IS exceptional. He has only been with us a week, and already knows "sit", "down" and we are working on "paw". He also lets us know when he has to go, by patiently sitting by the door of our terrace. Bodhi is now sleeping through the night in his crate with only waking us up 1x to take him out. And he is wonderful in his crate whether we are home or out and about, barely a whimper now. We had a vet visit this morning so Bodhi could get his 2nd round of shots - and he just laid down on the table and gave licks to everyone, truly making himself at home :) Here is a pic from this morning - the camera loves him. As does everyone that meets him. Hugs from NYC. Jenny, Pete & Bodhi. |

Hi Gail,
Luciano and I participated in the local dog park
Halloween costume contest last month. Luciano went
as a punk rocker. We didn't win but we had great fun
and two photos of him were included in a local blog.
I also got him a squirrel costume as you will see in
the pictures.
By the way, I often talk to other doodle owners
about their breeders and their relationship to their
breeders. When I hear their stories, I am
sooooooooooo grateful for your kindness, patience
and complete dedication to Luciano and all your
pups! Thanks.
Love
Nancy and Luche

Hi
Gail...
I know you are busy with taking care of your brood and
mommies, but I must just drop this note to tell you how
much we adore looking at your new photos!
OMG.....Annie's babies have the most adorable
faces.........it makes me smile so big to see these
beautiful shiny faces with the big eyes...WOW!
We really would have taken Honor.......he is jsut the
right size for our next "Doodle" and so darn
loveable.....I am happy that he will have a new family
to
love him to pieces....but I really imagined him here
with us!
Just so I can keep this in the back of my mind......when
we are ready for a new member of the pack, what would
you recommend.........a boy......a girl?
I
am going to ask permission from the association to let
us have another dog at some point....I just wish I had
done it in time to get Honor....he is such a darling!
I know there will be new ones.....maybe you will decide
to have another litter of Annies pups.....or gosh.....do
I have to wait until Tilley is ready...or
Candy....HMMMMM?
Anyways......we have been trying to get a really good
photo of "Howard Huge" DUGAN to send so you can get a
feeling for our wonderful boy.....I'm just not the
photographer you are!
Anyways, I wish we lived closer.....we loved our visit
with you and Wayne and I would love to play with your
new pups....any day!!
Love to you both and best wishes for a wonderful
Thanksgiving!!!!!

Gail and Wayne, Here is Marley at 7 months and 31 lbs. We can't go anywhere without someone commenting on how cute he is and then asking us where we got him. We are sending them all your way! He is great advertisement! We live at 900 feet in Issaquah and are looking forward to Marley seeing his first snow (they are saying this week!) and the holiday season. He didn't like his halloween costume that much, so don't suppose he will be santa this year. Enjoy your Holidays and thanks again for such a great dog. Our Best, Jan and Dan |

Hi Gail-
So here is a "headshot" from her birthday (just in case you want to put her on the web-site- hint hint!!!!) I am going to send you a link to a few cute photos from Pixie's 1st birthday party (don't worry- we didn't let her eat the chocolate cake- just the bone cakes and doggie cookie cake!) PIXIE IS THE BEST!!! Please tell Tilly that she says hi and woof! Hi to Wayne and be well! xo Rachel |

Hi Gail, They're ready! These dogs are so talented. They now have titles in Tracking, Agility, Obedience, and Rally. They're working on Therapy Dog titles as well. There's an obedience/rally trial next weekend in Lynden if you want to see them perform. Bonnie  |

Hi Gail! I hope Café is doing well (oh, and I hope YOU are doing well tooJ).
Just wanted to touch base to let you know that we are still very much interested in adopting her or perhaps another of your retiring girls, when the time is right. Meanwhile, here are a couple of pictures of Murphy (Sundance) with two of my kids. Lauren was striking an “owners look like their dogs” pose. Take care.

Hello Gail I came upon your website today and thought that I would send you a quick email and say hello. Watson will be 3 next month! Hard to believe time has gone by that fast. He is a superb family member and the greatest friend two kids could have. Taya is now 5 and Devin is 2. Both are just crazy about Watson (well we all are!). Watson still comes with me to the office everyday and everyone that knows him or meets him is blown away by his wonderful demeanor. I hope all is well with you and that your business is thriving! Those puppies you breed truly are magnificent animals. All the best Gary, Kerry, Taya and Devin Benson |

Gail and Wayne, Here is Marley at 5 Months. Still lovin' the heck out of him. Loves a good chew! (Actually one of the ones you sent him home with!) Thanks again for a puppy with such a great temperament. Take care, Jan and Dan. |
|

We had a play date with Rugby, Maggie Mae and Buster Brown. They had a blast after the boys checked each other out! Buster is very overprotective. Rugby is taller than Buster and has more grey and also red in the face. They all had a great time. They loved all the other dogs too and everyone was interested in them, as there were three. We love our dogs, Joni |

Hi All,
After many near misses, Luciano has taken to

Hi Gail. Thought you might like to see pictures of
Cocoa sending her boys off to their first day back at school with a kiss. She's doing well and as you can see loves her family! Hope you're well. Julie |

Daniel had a wonderful homecoming from camp with Skylar..and
he thought she wouldn't remember him! Here is a pic I took

Hope all is well with you and the many pups.

Hi Gail! I just thought I'd send you a couple pictures
of Corbin after his first haircut. He looks so handsome!
We are still completely in love with him. He's so happy,
sweet and goofy. He's still been the easiest dog we've
ever had to potty train. He's just a little ball of fur
and love and we're crazy about him. We get compliments
on him wherever we go. People think he's beautiful and
they're always impressed with how calm he is for still
being such a young puppy.
As of last week, he weighed in at 16 pounds. He's
getting bigger! He probably lost a couple with his
haircut though because his hair was so long and shaggy!
We can't thank you enough for this boy - he's just the
best. :)

Dear Gail & Wayne, We LOVE "Bear", he is the perfect match for our family! He has the most amazing temperament - mellow, friendly, confident, calm, playful (of course!), smart, respectful. He and the cat are getting along fairly well :-). Today he was unfazed by the Blue Angels - yay! Everyone that sees him loves him, so of course we tell them about Whispering Winds! Violet is also having fun tracking your website. Photos & more later. Hope you are all well. Best, Kelly |

Hi Gail, It is Deb, Carolyn's mother.
Yes, it is true. After years of talking about another dog, we are at the
point where we are considering a 2nd dog. Willie
just turned 9 (can you believe it??) and we are
thinking that if we are going to get another dog, we
want to do it before he gets too old to enjoy
playing with another dog. Willie is PERFECT and we
of course looked at your website and were excited
about finding options for older dogs. We are
looking for another great dog that loves people,
animals, and a gentle personality. We have 1/3
acre and gardens but not a fenced yard. We are with
Willie when he is outside and he never runs away, so
we never fenced the yard. Our neighborhood is very
quiet and we are on a cul-de-sac.
My biggest concern is how Willie will feel about another dog. He leads a very loved life and has been the "apple of our eyes" for years now. I think another dog would be great but want Willie to like whoever we choose.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Dear Gail,
Hi! My name is Carolyn and
am the owner of Willie. We
are so happy that we have
Willie in our lives. He is
fun and exciting and we love
having him with us. We would
love to get another dog to
keep him company.

Hi Gail! Just thought I'd send you a few Corbin pics. :)
He's growing like a weed and he's still the happiest,
sweetest boy on the planet. He's been the easiest dog
I've ever owned to potty train - it's just been a total
nonissue for him.
We're starting puppy classes soon and I'm excited. He's
been very easy to train so far and he's so excited when
he does something we ask of him and he gets praised. His
whole back end wags from side to side with his tail.
He's just a great baby. :)
Thanks again,
Ryan
PS
When you're ready to retire his Mom, Cafe, we'd really
love to give her a forever home if you're not going to
keep her. We are totally in love with that girl!

Gail:
The Labradoodle puppy we purchased from you (you called
her Goldie) in September of 2007 turns four years old
tomorrow (June 15). Since she is an "Australian
Labradoodle", we named her Meggie after the
lead character in the Colleen McCullough novel The
Thorn Birds which is set in Australia. Meggie has
matured into an excellent dog and a wonderful companion
and important part of our family. She is a remarkably
intelligent creature and has quite a personality. I have
attached a few pictures of her from just yesterday
including one with her still trying to be Oksana's
lapdog despite her long legs (she was the tallest in her
group litter photo) and weighing in at over 32 lbs.. As
you can see she is all chalk now with the only touch of
Apricot left at the tip of her tail
We can't imagine life without her now.
Cheers,
Joe & Oksana

Dear Gail, Hi! We are so happy that we have Willie in our lives. He if fun and exciting and we love having him with us. We would love to get another dog to keep him company. Thanks, Carolyn M |

What can I say? We love her even if she does look like a
who-ville dog? So sweet, so wonderful. Hope you are having a
happy summer- Sam is at camp in Maine, Sophie is a camp
counselor in Brooklyn working with little ones who, for the
most part, come from Tibet. Cali makes us all laugh, a lot!
Best, sSs |

Hi Gail ~ I haven't communicated with you since the day she arrived in Helena. I wanted to send you a picture to show how she has grown. The picture in the snow was taken in February and the other just this week. She weighs 20 pounds and is small--not sure how to measure her height but she is lean and healthy. Her coat is very curly and mats easily so I keep her trimmed. I have enjoyed the last eight months and she really is a sweetheart. She seldom barks, loves her walks, and every dog and person she meets is her "New Best Friend". The manners have come along but we still have excitable greeting issues. But she quickly chills out and my friends like her too. We went to classes during the winter which were good--she can learn very quickly but is easily distracted. She loves everyone!! Australian Labradoodles. I haven't met another person in Montana who knows what this means, including my vet! A lot of people ask what she is (after all, she is very cute). They recognize large American labradoodles but not the small Australian LD. I never got around to registering her in the ALCA so will send membership money to further the cause of this wonderful breed. Thanks for all the work you and others have done to make these good-natured little companions! Jeanne  |

Hi Mama Gail, Look how big we are at 10 months old today!! Herc is 35 lbs, will he get to 40? Layla is 24 lbs, I can still pick her up! They love the new big kid food and eat when they are hungry, even though it looks like Herc eats all the time. Sending hugs to all, Didi |

It's been a month with Tilly and we LOVE her. She's a sweet
girl and as calm as you said she would be. Cricket is in our
puppy class and is 14lbs compared to Tilly's 9! Tracy J |

Hello Gail and Wayne, Wanted to update you with some photos of Marley and thank you again for such a loving and smart dog. He catches on really fast to whatever we ask him to do. He is doing great in puppy 101 (except no bite...we are still working on that!) He will be 15 weeks old this Friday and is almost 16 pounds. He is in love with our cooler at our cabin, and has made that his play den. What do you think?......can there ever be too many toys? PS, Our kids are very impressed with him and we all see a dog in their near future. Our Best, Jan and Dan

Thanks so much for the birthday greetings! Jake is doing
great and totally loves his domain here on Samish
Island. Hard to believe we've been in our new home
nearly a year already! He brings joy to us everyday -
even when he comes in looking more like a black
labradoodle! We didn't get a picture on his birthday,
but here's a recent one. I think he looks a lot like Taz
. . .

Hi Gail, Here are a few pictures of Rugby as we had a little party to celebrate his 1st birthday. We celebrated a little early since Megan will be at outdoor camp this week. We've had a blast with him. He's the sweetest, most lovable guy! We feel so blessed to have him. Thanks for breeding such wonderful dogs. Hope all is well! John, Stephanie, Megan and Adam  |

Hello Gail
and Wayne - We are continually entertained by these amazing boys. They are doing so well. At home, they like to play with each other and love to be together. We are taking them here and there separately so they know they can handle situations as individuals as well. Kiah is 5 months old this week! They helped me put plants in the ground today. They were good helpers. Must be in the DNA from Wayne. Now they are legitimate “brown nosers.” Carol & Bob Tucker is from Whispering Winds Latte' Kiah is from Whispering Winds Bindi Sire to both is Bandit |

10/11 : Schroeder is doing well, he is definitely the athlete of your two dogs, amazing jumping and speed for the little guy. He is totally a "snuggler", loves people and attention, and absolutely has no fear. Sadie is a little more cautious and passive, and she loves to play ball, all day... actually sleeps with the tennis ball in her mouth sometimes.
Just wanted you to see our pals, they are doing well, Sadie is the more sensitive dog, Schroeder is still the little bulldozer! (Schroeder on the couch, Sadie on our fake lawn) Chris & Rebecca |

Good Morning
Gail.....
It was great chatting with you yesterday....I know I go on too long, and am sure you’ve heard all the accolades before about your beautiful dogs, but just can’t help myself......I ought to be an Australian Labradoodle advocate (not that they need one!).
When
Dugan got his first haircut, my neighbor suggested I
collect all of the clean fur they cut off, which I did
(2 bags full!). She had the local yarn shop “spin” his
fur into yarn. For my birthday, she knitted the darling
bunny rabbit I am sending a picture of. I just cried at
how thoughtful a gift this truly is. I will forever have
my Dugan boy “with me”. You can’t tell from the pictures
I have taken, but he has the softest whisper of a
coat....I just love it!!! Maybe you have someone you
know that would do something similar for Miss Tilly’s
beautiful fur!
I had
labradoodle dreams last night that Tilly produced a
litter of apricot cream babies with red tipped
coats...they were stunners!
Talk to you soon!
Love,
Susanne

 Hi! This is Lauren. I just wanted to let you know how Rosie is doing. She is doing great! Her and daisy play all the time! I am teaching Rosie how to do dog agility and so far she's doing great(: daisy is also doing fantastic she is the best dog we have ever had. When she's eating and you call her she comes running to you, and she never leaves my bed at night. She is also very protective of me! In another email there is some pictures of daisy and Rosie.

Hi Gail - I promise I won't send pictures every day.
:) I just thought I'd send a couple more. He's such
a fast little dude that it's hard to get decent, in
focus images of him. But he's settling in more each
day.
We just love him - he's blended in seamlessly. He's
still accident free in the house and in his crate!
The transition doesn't seemed to have phased him one
bit either - he's eating and drinking like normal
and he's had no tummy issues. He's very much a
"people" dog; he follows us around wherever we go
and he hates it when we leave his sight. He's
just been a dream and we love him so much.
I also wanted to say how impressed we were with all of his documentation. It was obviously very well thought out and that you put a lot of time into it. We love his blanket too! I didn't even realize that it was embroidered with his name until today and we love it so much! I'll keep you posted from time to time. I hope you are doing well!

We celebrated Maggie Mae and Buster Browns 1st birthday today. They had a blast as well as Chukar the Brittany, Lucy- Chocolate Lab, Piper-Sheltie and Roy the Hound. Peanut butter Cake from the Immortal dog store, fresh baked treats and fun was had by dogs and owners. It has been such a fun year watching these two grow up and meet so many friends. They are very social. Can't wait now they can start the reading with rover program. Joni and Mike |

 He is doing great. He is so mellow. We keep wondering if we just got this lucky or he will adjust and the real bucky will show up. Either way, we are thrilled! Caroline |

Everyone loves him, NO one more than me !!!
He is my little shadow.. and perfect...

 Hi Gail- Thought you would enjoy a recent shot of Pixie (freshly groomed!!!) Wishing you and your family a wonderful Easter!!! Best, Rachel |

 Toulouse at 3 mo. 3 wks. Gail-Look at my sweet baby boy! Thank you! Gigi |
||
 Hi Gail! I take Toulouse everywhere and he gets raves. He is getting use to all sounds, people and circumstances. On this particular day, we were out during his puppy nap. He kept squirming to get down and he just climbed on to the display and fell asleep. Needless to say, we went home after this. I am having such a good time with him. He is funny, stubborn, loving, cocky, beautiful and super smart. His trainer thinks he is a genius. Toulouse is getting along with everyone, except my yorkie, Sabine, only because she does not want to relinquish her crown. I hope everything is good. I sent you a note on Doodlekisses, great info on that site. Thank you for everything. I don't know what I would do without him and I can't believe I ever lived without him. Love from, Gigi and Toulouse Your other pups are delicious. T and I look at your picts all the time ~~~~~ |
||
 Hi Gail, Here we are two weeks out. As you can see these guys are growing fast!! They hardly ever are on our laps like this, but did well for this photo shoot. I am a bit more tired in a happy, puppy way. They love to be in the yard with us and have helped on quite a few projects. Tucker likes to pick daffodils, but has not gone overboard on that. Kiah continues to be the "good" dog - always coming and following ME everywhere. It seems at this time that he has chosen me, and Tucker chooses Bob. Go figure! We are fine following their lead! Thinking about Café as she prepares to present you with some more sweet pups on Friday! Enjoy the sun. Carol and Bob |

Angus at the Beach - Winter 2011
He is the most popular dog at the beach. Not a biased opinion.
He kisses every dog he meets, people stop and take his picture
and several people have said if he is missing don't come to
their house looking for him. He is also really smart, learns
quickly and we will start agility as soon as i can get into a
class. I tell everyone where I got him.

 Tilly and Casey We are enjoying both of our puppies too much to be able to describe. It is so nice to be able to take them anywhere and the only worry we have is that Tilly likes to lick people or other dogs. Neither of them has ever snarled or snapped at a person or other dog. They love to play and will put their mouths around other dogs but will never bite down. Thank you for these two incredible dogs and helping with advice when we needed it. Sue B |
Charlie
Hello Gail - from Manhasset, NY. I wanted to send you some
photos of Charlie. He's doing great, very playful, well
behaved, a total joy! We all love him. It was a very snowy
winter here in NY and Charlie LOVED the snow (thank goodness!).
These photos are from January - he's much bigger now.
Warm regards,
Cathy C

 Titani |
| Hello Gail, Our Patrick is
beautiful (groomed & un-groomed). He is still the center of our household. He loves everybody & everybody loves him. He has such a wonderful personality & disposition. He absolutely loves to play, goes to his toy basket & selects what he wants. He likes to watch certain commercials on TC & when he hears the music for them he runs in to watch. He is still so crazy about our grandchildren (who are here much of the time). We have had a number of dogs in the past, but he is absolutely the best. Our thanks to you! Fondly, Mary & Ed |
