Henna update with a few of her pictures…

June 14, 2009

Hi Vicky & Jeff,
Hope you are almost done with the heavy work schedule.  We are enjoying Henna so much!  Her personality continues to bloom.  I forgot to answer your question.  The first night we had Henna, we put the crate in our room with the door open.  We gave her the option of sleeping in her crate or with us.  She went into her crate, came out and jumped in bed with us.  She is like a beautiful graceful horse.  She leaps over stairs and from one chair to the bed.  She’s faster than all her dog playmates in the park.  Everyone we meet thinks she’s adorable.  I’ve been sending some pictures all along and hope you are getting them.  We start “Sirius Puppy Training” next week.  She has been eating better.  At night when we are in bed, so tired, she paws us and nibbles on us to play with her.  She knows how to “sit, stay, heel and almost shake.”  She’s very smart.

Aloha,

Greg & Sue

A Roxy-Rose update….

June 7, 2009

Hi – hope all is well.

 

Had a gal call me tonight who is a neighbor of a friend.

She’s seen Roxy and is interested in a labradoodle.

Got me looking on your site, 

and I just had to send you an updated picture.

 

Isn’t she just the cutest??!!!

 

She is turning out to be a GREAT family dog.

 

She’s definitely an ALPHA dog but loves to please,

and is already trained beyond our expectations

for this age (she’s almost 10 months).   Every day 

we work on voice command drills and she is 

amazing.  I’m still really interested in therapy dog 

training….

 

She’s been an easy puppy.  She has lots of energy,

but the 5 of us keep her going and a new labradoodle

standard puppy moved in next door – so she has 

lots of puppy play dates.

 

Thank you again for this great dog!

Oh Goodie! A Leo update (Gracie x Chief litter)

June 7, 2009

Hi Vicky,

How are you? I hope your trip went well, and your family is doing great!

I wanted to give you a Leo update. He is still the best puppy ever! Everyone we meet and everywhere we go, people comment on how good/beautiful/smart/soft/etc. he is. He is just under 30 lbs (a little heavier than we expected) but he is a good size – big enough that you don’t have to worry about squishing him, but small enough tot still fit on your lap. His fur is soft and wavy and great for snuggling. He loves to get his tummy rubbed.

He is a fun loving little guy, and he loves to steal things since he knows that he’ll get a treat when he gives them back (I’ve created a monster, but it’s better than buying new shoes….). He barks like a BIG dog, but he doesn’t bark often. He’s very observant, and cocks his little head when he’s listening to you. He is an “aggressive” chewer, so we have to make sure he has lots of things that he is supposed to chew on (again, he likes those shoes, the more expensive, the yummier apparently).

Here are a few pictures. I included a picture just before he got a haircut – and then after his summer cut (it came out shorter than I wanted, I loved the shaggy look, but he was really hot).

I’ve had several people asking where we got him – even the Camp Bow Wow receptionist called to find out where he came from, and a few friends. Lots of people didn’t realize Labradoodles can be so small. (Of course, I get, “is he a cock-a-poo, golden doodle, wheaten” most of the time anyway).

 

We love him lots!
