We set off on a journey to find the perfect family pet…My husband wanted a lab, and I did not want the shedding, and we both wanted a great dog that would become part of our family. After quite a lot of research, we started to learn more about the Australian Labradoodle which led us to Goodday Doodles. At that time, our son was 13 months old, and we wanted to see how he would interact with one of Becky’s breeding dogs, Sophie. Sophie was due with her litter very soon---and we soon learned she delivered what would be our café girl, Bailey, later that night. Even during what we know now was labor, Sophie had the most incredible temperament and was wonderful with our son. We can honestly say, the “adoption” process for Bailey was pretty unbelievable; far more than we could have ever imagined. We watched Bailey grow daily, which helped our son with the bringing home process. Most importantly, our girl Bailey has become an integral part of our family- she makes our family complete. Our 22 month old son and Bailey are now best buds! She is wonderful with kids and on some days, she joins our son to daycare to play with the children and the official “day care dog”. She goes with us everywhere and we look forward to this summer where she will be heading to the lake and beach with us! We are truly grateful for meeting Becky and the Pugh family and for the wonderful adoption experience and for Bailey.
I am writing to let you know of how happy we are with our breeder of Australian Labradoodles. We just received our first labradoodle pup from Rebecca Pugh at Good Day Doodles and we can’t say enough about how pleased we are with her, and with our pup!!! There are not enough words to describe the enjoyment and trust we’ve had of Rebecca from even before we decided to get our pup from her. We looked around locally, talked to a couple breeders close by in our area but were not happy with the impersonal response we got, or the lack of interest in getting to know what we were looking for. When we contacted Rebecca, my husband and I spoke with her at different times and both immediately came away with the same feeling, that she was the person we trusted to give us a great pup. And we have not been wrong for a moment. Rebecca showed genuine attention, care and concern and always went above and beyond to answer questions, put our minds at ease and to help prepare us for our newest addition to the family. One day, shortly after we committed to getting our pup from Rebecca, a package arrived in the mail, unannounced. It was a “build-a-bear” stuffed puppy for my two young daughters with a little handwritten note (on paw print embossed stationary) that read, ”Dear Casey Mae" here is a practice puppy for you both, until your labradoodle finds his way home.” It is personal touches like that, that made our entire process enjoyable and way better than ever anticipated! Rebecca was so thoughtful and always had the interests of the pups AND us in mind. Rebecca e-mailed me unsolicited with observations about our pup, and she drove from NC to DC to meet us with our, pup and even made an extra trip to the vet which was 3 hrs. away, so we could get our puppy a little earlier, as she knew we would be travelling with him in a couple short weeks, and wanted to be sure he’d have enough time to adjust to us and his new home before the trip. Rebecca’s puppy webcam was a HUGE hit for us and our friends and family, and her facilities were of the utmost in cleanliness and developmental opportunities for the pups. It was clear to us at every second of the process that Rebecca was committed to the best experience possible for the puppies and her adoptive families. I would HIGHLY recommend Rebecca Pugh and Good Day Doodles, as a breeder to anyone interested in finding the best of breeders! Sincerely, Kelly Beins, MD ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, We are John and Maria Burns and we reside in Lovettsville VA. We are both animal lovers and have multiple Australian Labradoodles. Our most recent little guy was adopted from Good Day Doodles in Greensboro NC. "Boomer" is a standard size Australian Labradoodle. We wanted to contact you so that other families may have the opportunity to visit Good Day Doodles and adopt thier forever family pet from them. We have adopted all our pets through a few different breeders and we can honestly say that Good Day Doodles far surpasses any of them. This breeder is fantastic (and rare). It is evident that they go far beyond what most breeders would do, they care for and love every single pup so much. They keep each and every adoptive family updated constantly, and allow us to peek inside their puppies homes at all times. (even from different states via cameras) When we brought our puppy home he was almost 11 weeks old. It's very clear to us that he has been socialized beyond anything I could have imagined! He walks on a leash, recognizes all the various daily noises and sounds. He enjoys being loved and cuddled by any and all members of our family at any given time of the day or night. His temperment is exactly as one would want, he is loving toward all members of the family and tolorant to the noises and activity of a household with both young and older children, as well as other dogs. We think it is so important that the first weeks of a pups life is a positive one, his surroundings at that time have a large impact on how well adjusted they will be once they leave for thier forever families. Without a doubt it is very clear to see that our lil guy had much love and attention, met many people and was given more then enough encouragement to be a well adjusted, affectionate, and gentle canine. We both whole heartedly recommend Good Day Doodles for anybody who is looking to adopt this beautiful breed into thier home. We are thankful to be able to have this opportunity to share with others what we have experienced. We will, without reservation, adopt through them again in the future! Thank You, John and Maria Burns, VA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Good Evening Rebecca First let me thank you again for your lovely informative sweet e-mail.. Actually it made me cry with joy that I have met someone who has lived up to all my expectations! My instincts were right when I chose you...most books I had read said to look for a breeder with many years experience ... but what I felt from you made all that concern fall away..I just knew you would put your kind heart and strong mind into these pups and give them a great start at life. It would be my sincere pleasure to share my thoughts with anyone seeking a reference . Ronnie Force, NJ ------------------------------------------------------------------- I got my labordoodle 5 days ago and he is precious. He is calm and is quite the perfect puppy for old people. I know what a hyper pup can be like, having had 2 in the past. Rebecca did an outstanding job. My pup is not afraid of new people or loud noises (except my husband's rider lawnmower did frighten him, but my vacuum cleaner did not. He is not shy or timid and she did wonderful things with the pups. She socialized them, did some agility training and soooooooo important crate training. I never crate trained a dog before. I decided to do that this time. Well the first night he cried about 10 minutes and fell asleep and DID NOT SOIL HIS CRATE. He can go 8 hours at night in his crate without soiling. The second night no crying at all. I am amazed. The crate is in our bedroom and perhaps that helps because we are with him. We are retired and so we don't put him in the crate in the day - we are home. At most he got crated one day for about 1 hour. Anyway, I'm very very pleased and would recommend her highly. She gave us toys, a little blanket with his sibling/ mom's scent, a brush, a bag of food that she was feeding them and two books on puppy training. She is great. Linda and Jim Nickerson, NC ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Becky, Thank you so much for Murphy! He is everything we had hoped for and more. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter, smarter, more mild mannered yet playful little guy. Within three days Murphy learned many of the basic commands and walks perfectly on the leash. He is so smart and eager to learn. He slept from 9.30 until 5.30 the first night home and has continued to sleep through the night and whine very little during day time crate 'naps'. He travels wonderfully in the car and is a wonderful little companion to have by my side. He visited my daughters preschool class yesterday and was a hit! All the teachers at the preschool were stopping me begging me to show Murphy to their classes. Murphy was so calm and sweet while the young children petted him. I was so proud of him! He has obviously been very thoroughly socialized- I have not seen him react afraid of anything yet. He came out to lunch with me and Will today, just sitting under my chair patiently while we ate at an outdoor cafe. He attracts people wherever we go, commenting on what a beautiful dog he is- I know I am biased but he is VERY cute! Many people have asked where I got him and I have been so happy to recommend Good Day Doodles to them. It was a wonderful adoption experience from the very beginning. Our family loved receiving your weekly updates and beautiful pictures of the puppies as they grew. Even my vet commented on what a great and thorough breeder you must be - just by looking at the records that you provided for me to give to him. You really do go above and beyond for your labradoodles and their families. We truly appreciate all your hard work and continued support. Please visit anytime you are in town. Best Regards, Angela and Will Bailey, NC
