Our customers mean everything to us

Hi Rebecca, Addison and Ashley!

 

I just wanted to check in and let you know that our puppy is doing great! She had her first vet visit last Monday and came through with flying colors. She was 8 lbs and her fecal was nice and “clear”.

 

We are all trying to establish a schedule with her and it is going well. She settles in nicely to her crate and goes right to sleep, waking up between 5-6 am. She is doing great with potty training  as long as we keep an eye on the clock- only one accident so far 🙂

 

Everyone in the family is just crazy about her, she has truly healed our broken hearts. I find myself having a much easier time thinking about Luna, and memories of her, because we have this little girl to snuggle. And of course because she is such a beautiful, “classic” doodle she often reminds us a little bit of Luna.

 

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts.

 

Of course if you ever would like  to refer anyone in our area to us for a recommendation  for your breeding program, feel free to contact us!!

 

Fondly,

 

The K Family

Ashley, hope all well with you. Dinger is one year old today. He is a great dog. Judy and I are thrilled to have him. He ’s a happy and healthy 57# and 23&1/2”.
Best to you,
John and Judy

Hi Guys! 

Ashley,

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much we love our new addition, Koa (Mr. Brown). He is extremely affectionate and intelligent. After losing our 13-year old Lab, we all had a hole in our heart, but it feels like Koa was meant for our family as he fits in so well already. He whimpered the first two nights, but since then he has been perfectly content! We have been showering him with affection and he truly is a member of the family. I can’t express to you how happy we are and how much we love him.

I wanted to send you a heartfelt “thank you” for all the hard work you put into our pup before he came home. It truly shows as he is a very well-behaved and socialized puppy. We are so grateful for all you’ve done. Thank you!

Second, he is doing really well with house training. He has taken to the bells and lets us know when he needs to go out. He knows how to sit, give us his paw, lay down, roll over, and he’s really good about not jumping on anyone especially our granddaughter, June. Third, he loves our son’s chihuahua, Cleo. They are fast friends and where one is, the other is literally sitting on her. She doesn’t mind though, we make Tucker get off her. They’re a constant source of amusement. They often can be found in Tucker’s crate napping together. Fourth, he is eating really well and is weighing in at a whopping 26.2 lbs. Our vet says he looks awesome and that he’s going to be a big boy. I’m not sure how much bigger he can possibly get but I remember you saying he was going to be bigger than expected for the litter. He’s such a teddy bear and he’s quite clumsy which is also a source of amusement for us. Everyone that has met him absolutely loves him. Tucker met Cash (Tyler, Kayla and June’s puppy) yesterday. I was a little concerned how it would go. I shouldn’t have been. Tucker just went up to him sniffed him, sat down and let Cash jump all over him. Like he’d known him all his life. It was adorable. I can’t say enough how happy we are with him and so glad that we found you! I’m adding some pics of him so you can see how much of a handsome Prince he truly is. Again, thank you so much for trusting us with one of your puppies. We are forever grateful! I hope you have a wonderful day!!” – Ashley M..

We had a great drive home; arriving in MI about 11:30 pm. Miss Black, now Patches was spectacular. Nothing could even be called a hiccup during her trip. She had her wellness puppy checkup on Monday. Remarks were, “She is so beautiful” (more than once), “You’re the winner. Best looking puppy we have had all day.” And the vet said “Keep a close eye on her, I would take her home in a heartbeat.” I also had a technician volunteer to puppy sit whenever I needed someone. Besides that, the vet, Mrs. Koan from Riverside Hospital in Flushing , said perfect health, she is 6.1 lbs, and her microchip was checked that it agreed with the information. We are to return in 3 weeks for shots. Our free gift included heartworm and tick and flea meds. Our 30 day health insurance has been activated. Food has arrived and vitamins are in plentiful supply. I hope I have not overlooked anything.

I learned that she did a full body assault on her food dish, but I probably would learn that too if I needed to get my portion with 8 other siblings. Never the less it was a surprise and made me laugh. I feed her by teaspoon now to slow her down, among other reasons. She will sit and we are learning “wait” (only a pause) between each spoonful. If you taught her sit, you are a miracle worker with so many puppies and for taking the time. And if not she is an Einstein for learning so quickly. She is Miss Manners for sure. She has had no accidents and has gone to the door on her own 3 times to go outside. She made 3 little whimpers the first night and fell asleep until 6:30 am. The next night, no whimpers. We have learned she loves human contact. Her choice is to curl up for a nap on top of my feet or on my husbands when mine are not available. When I am on the floor (most of the time), she curls up by my side but always touching. The crate is an okay thing but please do not shut the door. We are working on that. We continue to work of the Rule of 12 Guide. I love the ideas and the fun watching her explore and react. Thank you for the toys. The rope is her favorite to chew, a flat little crinkly monkey is her favorite to carry but the funniest to watch is the hidden squirrel toy. I’ve tried to make an attempt to put your information to use for her good.

The best testimony, was the family that was outside when I was leaving. They told me they got one of your puppies about a year ago and was a perfect fit for their family, so they came back for another one. How much better does it get than that?”

I hope you are well. I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our dog. Louis is just about 6 months old and his temperament has been amazing. He has a funny personality and very much likes to socialize. He has been great with our two young girls. We regularly get comments that people are surprised he is only 6 months old since he is so calm around people and well trained.

We used Mike Dunn for 8 weeks of obedience training. He staid an extra 2 weeks beyond normal since he was being a little stubborn. We have been impressed with his obedience since he has returned. We still have a lot to work on to get him to our goal, but well on the way. Thanks for a great dog. I have provided your information to a few people that are considering labradoodles. Feel free to use us as a reference if ever needed. Below is a picture of Louis in his typical relaxation pose. Take care.”

This email is so long over due that I hope you accept my deepest apologies. We are so thankful for Good Day Doodles. Here are a few pictures of Baley, named after Gareth Bale, a European soccer player. He, as a 21 month old, is about 42 lbs. He has the most gorgeous expressive eyes. He has a light gray stripe down his back like a skunk. It is so cute.

Baley has brought so much joy to our lives. He loves riding in the car. He helps fold laundry by laying in the middle of my folded clothes or by “stealing” socks. He plays basketball with the boys and is a very good rebounder. He plays catch too. He can carry the paper up to the house. He wrestles every night with my husband. He loves stuffed animals. He enjoys hiking, walking, and roller blading. He verbally sighs when he is tired. He cries with joy when he sees us and when he sees his friends. Baley still stands on his back legs when he is happy. He will also hug us by standing on his back legs and actually squeezing his paws around our waists. He loves nibbling on my husbands ears when he come home from the gym and he licks my legs when I get out of the shower. Every once in awhile, he has the most awesome toilet paper party.

Thank you so much for Baley. We check out the web site often. Let us know if you have a puppy or older dog that needs to be re-homed.

Thanks again.

Warmest,

Laurie, Ron, Simon, Ethan, and Daniel as well as Baley

This has been a good week for Miss Annie and other members of the Capps household. She has been playing, sleeping, exploring, snuggling, learning, sniffing every blade of grass and leaf in the yard, teaching her two-legged owners to be patient, among assorted other activities. The whole family agrees that Annie is the sweetest most loving creature on God’s good earth.
Miss Annie must also be in the top one percent among her canine cohorts in intelligence. ( We are not bias.) Already she can sit on command, knows her name, fetches, knows a few basic commands, such as come and outside, and is making progress on heel and stay. Stopping the jumping and nipping needs more work. The end of toilet training is in the foreseeable future.
I joking told a pet store owner last week that I would need to take out a loan to pay for Annie’s accoutrements. While she is being carefully disciplined, she is also somewhat spoiled. Of course, her favorite toys remain an empty Dannon yogurt container and a paper towel roller.
Rebecca, thank you for this special ball of fur and personality. She already has brought more joy to this household than the dollars she cost. You were a good surrogate mother. I had not shared this with you before, but, among other medical issues, I have been battling cancer for almost three years: major surgery, two rounds of treatment and continual monitoring. The prognosis was good following the completion of radiation therapy a month ago, and we all hope for the best. I was encouraged to get a pet dog as a part of my therapy by two of my doctors. I see progress in my Annie therapy already and know that it will only become more palliative as Annie matures and becomes a greater part of our lives.”
With respect and appreciation,
G.T.

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!”

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.”

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.”
