Hi Michael,

Sherman is now in Hong Kong. He is relaxing on the kitchen floor with his "blankie", that Beth sent, and a chew toy. Grant is reading him a story. The process at the airport went smoothly...Sherman was a well behaved boy. At one point they take them out of the carte to inspect them and then they are expected to go back into the crate (they cannot leave the airport without being crated). Sherman went back into his crate without any issue...good boy Sherman.

We have been smothering him with hugs and kisses...and he has won our hearts already. Thanks again for everything...Sherman sends his kisses.

Regards,
Rita from Hong Kong

She gets so much attention everywhere we go and most people confuse her with a stuffed animal!

We really enjoyed meeting you and seeing the puppies. You have a nice family and nice way about you and the dogs. You are calm, gentle, and kind. I believe we are confirmed for the next litter.

Chloe is adjusting very quickly to her new home. She becomes more adventurous and playful everyday. I was able to get her to the vet yesterday afternoon. She checked out just fine. She's a good eater, sleeps reasonably well during the night and seems to be very happy in her new home.

Hello Michael, just a few lines to let you know how happy we are with Suave (2M). Here is a picture of my daughter and Suave who as you can see has grown a healthy dog.

Hi, Just a follow up about our little girl...who is now 47 pounds and still adorable…She continues to be a delight in our life, happy, healthy, and a lot of energy. She loves watching birds without doing anything about it -- just watching in total silence; stalking chipmunks and squirrels in slow motion can keep her entertained for hours. Easy to train, she loves the clicker, and the fact that she isn't doing amazing tricks has to do with the laid back nature of her owners, not her own ability to learn anything.

Ruby is doing just great. She is very well known all over town. She weighs about 60 pounds now. She is one big mush. Anyway, got together with Daisy, her sister at the beach 2 weeks ago. They had a ball running all over the place. You should have several pictures attached to this message. Just click on the forward arrows at the bottom of the screen. If you don't have it, I'll send re-send them to you. Daisy is getting her hair cut on Monday. Bill is now using our groomer, who loves Ruby.

Please put me on the list for another Ginger/Jackson puppy. I would LOVE to have a male and female! : )

She is so cute and she has not shed a bit! She has adjusted well and we are enjoying her immensely! Everyone has fallen in love with her and has wanted the place where I got her; so if you get a lot of requests from the southeast, don't be surprised!

We want to thank you for the wonderful puppy. He had a good trip last night without any problems. He slept most of the night. He loves the children very much. They took Jesse for a short walk this morning and they had a good time. Jesse is a very good puppy and he is, I can say, trained. He barked this morning to go outside. The children are very excited. And again, Thank you.

Hope you enjoy these pictures of our puppy, who we have named Colby. It is really amazing how quickly he has worked his way into our hearts.

He's growing quickly and checked out great at his vet visit. He slept through the entire exam, including when she clipped his nails. He raised his head and glanced at her once while she took his temperature.

I just want you to know that TJ is doing really well! He is a little over 4 months, and weighs about 25 lbs. He is growing right before our eyes, and everyone thinks THEY are his favorite because he gives so much affection. He is pretty well crate trained and is eating twice a day. He had the nicest temperament, always friendly and playful if someone is available, but otherwise quiet and calm when it is appropriate. He seems to be capable of transitioning from playful to calm very easily. And he just met the Weirenga's dog Mattie a couple of weeks ago and Mattie tried to make TJ know that she was in charge but after awhile the tables turned and TJ was running the show, and ultimately they played together so nicely. They were acting just like each other, batting each other with their big paws, and laying on their backs with total trust for the other dog, chasing each other. It was awesome! TJ also likes to play with a friends border collie and won over a friend's giant schnauzer who at first definitely wanted to be in charge, growling and bared teeth and all, but all of the sudden, gave in and let TJ jump and play with him. Can you tell we're happy with him? Also, are there any of your dogs and/or TJ's siblings that might've come to live anywhere reasonably near us?

We got Daisy from you last July. She is just the best dog ever. Very fun loving and active. Gets along well with people. Loves to play. Wonderful temperment. At the same time she is a good watchdog too! Best dog I have ever owned. I bring her to my office all the time and she is well behaved, smart and was easy to train.

She did very well!! She can do about a 15-20 minute down-stay with very few corrections. She sits on command and does Down on command. We worked on her jumping problem and she is almost broken of that. We have been working on controlled walking and heel lately. She is so smart. The only thing I am having a hard time with is Come. But I'm told that is one of the last commands puppies learn so that we are in pretty good shape.

He's such a sweet, mellow dog - I've been taking him pretty much everywhere with me - bike races, friends' houses, etc. and he always just goes with the flow and adapts to the situation. He pretty much slept through the night from day one and learned sit the second time I tried with him. Definitely a smarty-pants.

Well Ginger's 7 months old already. She's a very good puppy and listens well. We went to Minocqua , Wisconsin . She just loved the water and playing with the kids. When we returned, she went to the groomer. Here's some updated pictures of her.

She is a beauty...inside and out! We would love it if you would use her picture! (We're pretty proud of her!) Her coat is gorgeous.

Hope all's well - here are a few pics of Reagan on her first birthday, and her first round of golf! She has been a great dog - learns very fast and is super friendly - only negatives are that most everyone that sees her wants to know everything about her( I may have business card made for her) , and that she has learned that she can swim with her back feet on the bottom, kind of a walking swim, but just need to find a deeper lake. She retrieves very well, catches frisbee, and is learning to high jump.

He is so calm and gentle most of the time (especially compared to the neighbor's Bichon puppy). He seems to get a little wound up around the boys so we are working on the nipping/jumping (still nothing compared to the Bichon). The neighbors, including the ones that are petrified of dogs were really surprised by his demeanor and love him too.

Most importantly, my husband, skeptical that a dog with any part poodle was a bad choice, is convinced that he's the smartest dog he's ever seen.

He is soooooo ADORABLE! His plane was a little delayed but we finally got him at 10:30 . We thought he would be timid and so obviously scared at first but boy we were wrong. He had PLAY on his mind and so we did for a while before we left the airport. He loves to give kisses. He is exactly the spunky little pooch we wanted. Also, he REALLY likes my husband and I couldn't help but wonder if it is because he is used to a male taking care of him--I don't know but my husband loves it… Well, we LOVE him and his cute little personality so THANKS SO MUCH!

We all absolutely love this dog! He is awesome. Thanks for the good breeding and initial training you do with them.

So many people have told us that Lucy feels like chenille. There's nothing like having a dog that I love to touch. Lucy is luxurious.

She has had her last shots and today we found her playing with her tooth on the floor! She has gotten quite a few permanent teeth in by now. Dr. Murphy and everyone at Broad Ripple Animal Clinic are in love with her and want me to just bring her in whenever I'd like. In fact, Dr. Murphy is considering one of your doodles as she recently lost one of her dogs.

Hi- We absolutely love our little girl. She is soooo funny. Zoe is finally getting along with her. Kalli is house broken and can sit and come when called. She loves to play ball. And I take her everywhere with me. She is going to our church retreat next weekend! I just visited the website and I am glad all the puppies are spoken for. I fell in love with the chocolate ones-especially the phantom one. I know we will get another one at some time.

I was just checking out your site....GOOD JOB! Your dogs are so beautiful. My vet just raves about Justice. Who is the dog on your homepage? It looks just like Justice. Same litter???

But, just to tell you about Lucy. She is doing quite well. I think our dog trainer seems to think she would be a great agility dog. Lucy is the youngest dog in her class, but everything is easy for her. She's very smart, picks up on things very quickly and willingly. She loves to please. She's a very good girl.

I am sending you a picture of our dog. He is now 6 months old. He has been a real pleasure and fits right in with our family. He is also a very smart dog. He has been #1 in his classes. I have also taught him how to go up a ladder and down a slide.

His coat is quite curly, but is very soft and hasn't shown any tendency to matt yet. The coloration remains golden red with cream highlights. His gait is very nice and his looks get frequent compliments on walks.

Temperament wise he bonded to us quickly and is very affectionate. He appears intelligent and loves retrieving. House training is going well.

The dog made it to Philly okay. When we went to pick him up and he was certainly shaken, but we plopped right down on the airport floor and snuggled with him and he began feeling better. He got sick once on the car trip home, but didn't seem too phased. We brought him in and gave him some water. It was very sad to see him at first. He backed up against a wall in the kitchen and just looked around. I could just image what he was thinking. Where are my brothers? Where's my Mom and Dad and all the others I'm used to. This does not look like my home. I put a fleece blanket in his crate and he took a short nap.

Then we brought him out and let him run around. I could almost hear him when he smelled the grass and snow: 'Hey I know what this is!" He and Myles ran around and played. So far today he hasn't had one accident inside. Although I take him out regularly, especially after he eats or drinks. He ate a good supper and has seemed to settle in quite nicely by the end of the day. He even had a small fight with a trained attack leaf; it was a tie. But he didn't seem to mind; he enjoyed the completion. He's napping now.

I found out from my sister-in-law that my husband always used to say every dog needs a boy. Attached are pictures from this afternoon of Strider (we named in the car ride home) and his boy Myles.

Bryan and I wanted to give you an update on our girl, Liberty . But mostly, we wanted to thank-you! Liberty has brought us such joy!!

She’ll be 6 months old next week and she’s doing great. Liberty is so smart and she’s the hit of the neighborhood, training class and vet’s office (in other words, she’s spoiled rotten!). We get questions and comments all the time. Everyone loves her coat, especially the color.

We just had her groomed to give her some relief for the summer. I’ve attached a picture of her at the lake a few weeks ago. She’s really beginning to enjoy the water!

I thought you might like an update/pictures of Copper. In case you forgot, he was from Carrie and Jackson's litter last May. Copper is doing great! He is a little smaller than we were hoping - 46 pounds - but we love him just the same! He loves playing with the kids and could not have a better temperament! My 3 yr old has been known to take a bone right out of his mouth without so much as a growl from Copper! He also does not shed AT ALL! I have been in touch with a few of the owner's of Copper's siblings via the "doodle forum" and we love to compare pictures of your beautiful puppies!

Happy New Year, Michael! Thought you might want an Emmy update...she's doing beautifully! Gibbs LOVES her. They are best buddies and play constantly which is exactly what we had hoped would happen.

He is adorable. You can tell he has been around little boys because the first thing he did was climb into my sons lap. It made Matthew's day!! Koda looked scared but warmed up in no time.

Hi Michael! Just wanted to send you the latest picture of Dash. We just love him. He's a little spitfire full of spunk and personality. Everyone comments how gorgeous he is. Thanks for everything!

Arial is home and asleep in her crate. What an amazing beautiful puppy! She's a little doll and I can't get over how well she took the flight and how sweet she is!! She ate, went potty and settled right down. I will stay in touch and send pictures. I only hope I can breed puppies that are as adorable as she is.

We adore our puppy which we named Lakota. Even non-dog lover's fall in love with him. He does not get into any trouble in the house when left alone and he loves all people and animals. His disposition is excellent!

Our goldendoodle puppy (Riley) is unbelievable...the perfect dog!!!! Riley is just 14 months old; he has a golden colored coat, a great personality (everyone in our neighborhood knows him), etc. etc. Sunshine Acres and Michael more than delivered as promised and I do not hesitate in recommending him.
