What owners say about our pups

Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how Cosmo is doing....

Of course we all adore him, and he has very quickly become part of the family.

He cried a little on the first night, but has been great since then - happily settling down for the night in his special corner of the kitchen.

He loves playing chasings with the boys. They've done countless laps of the backyard. He always wants to be around us, and has a bit of a thing for feet. If possible he will go to sleep on someone's feet, or using my shoes as a pillow is another favourite option. But one day when I was out he discovered the joys of the hammock (it's quite low down so easy for him to hop into). Now whenever we get home he is almost always sound asleep, swaying, in the hammock. He looks up at us as though asking for a tropical cocktail!

He definitely has the labrador food genes. Meal time is his most exciting time of day, and it all disappears in about 30 seconds. After which he runs around for a while making sure there's no more anywhere.

So all is going wonderfully. We're just waiting for him to get the whole concept of weeing outside a bit more under control! Then we'll all be happy!!

Thank you for a wonderful puppy!

Hi! Hope you're all well. Just a little update on Tilly....

We are enjoying our wee puppy immensely, she is a real character! Very affectionate and very mischievous! Her coat is going quite tan now down the centre of her back, on her legs and on her ears. She has learnt a few basic commands and will now obey "come", "sit" and "go potty" (go to the toilet). We are working on "drop" as she's not too fond of giving you the ball after she has fetched it!! She would much rather have you chase her round the yard for it.

She is very fond of taking off with socks and undies from the laundry basket, as most puppies are, and we usually have to bribe her to get them back. Last week Tilly had her first meaty bone which she loved and she is very fond of corn-on-the-cob and raw carrots (which are apparently great for cleaning their teeth).

Last week she had her first trip to the beach and absolutely loved it. She did not stop digging for two hours and was so exhausted in the end we had to carry her to the car!! Needless to say she slept for the rest of the day. This Saturday we start a 4 week course of puppy classes with her which will be fun.

She's not much of a lap-dog as she just cannot contain her joy when you're holding her, and will drive you completely mad with her wriggling, sniffing and licking. But she will sit very nicely on her mat at our feet when we watch TV, so that has became our evening ritual.

All in all we are just loving this new little member of our family and she certainly returns the affection many times over.

Take care,

Tilly's family, Collaroy Plateau. (Banbury Litter)

...Benson has developed into a lovely dog, so full of love. Every Sunday morning, he runs out the front & brings us the paper back from the lawn.

It took him until the age of 10 months to start cocking his leg against trees. We never thought he was going to do it. The vet told us that not all male dogs do this.

Best wishes to your family & we hope Shakira stays well & the new litter is as wonderful as the Banbury one was....

Best wishes,

Benson's owner, Chipping Norton (Banbury Litter).

"Sorry its been a while but with the move to Qld and getting settled in, I have forgotten to let you know how Jackson is. Well, he's great ... no, GREAT! He has grown so much and he is not the little puppy that we brought home in September. Jackson loves the pool and he now climbs up the slippery dip and the girls' play gym. He climbs up the stairs and goes down the slippery dip. He has once gone down the slide and into the pool all by himself. He loves to give you a paw and to roll over for a bone. He loves 'pig ears'.

The vet says he is in perfect condition including his shape. Everyone comments on his personality and that he has such a lovely nature. Jackson has been no problem at all and he rarely barks. But when he does we know it's for a good reason.

I would like to thank you for this beautiful dog, as he has brought so much joy to our family."

"Our pup Bam Bam is a great looking dog. He's lean as a lot of the labradoodles are but he's muscling up quite well and seems to be really healthy. We live up at Pittwater so he gets plenty of excercise on the beach and the bays. He's a great swimmer, kind of looks like a platypus and he's completely fearless in the water.

He's a very happy little dog; when we're at home lying about he comes up every 5 minutes and says hello, tail wagging as usual. He's a little on the timid side which we expected a little bit because he was pretty quiet when we picked him up. He just takes a little time to get comfortable with new surroundings.

We had an older groodle when we got him and he adores his sister, Pebbles. Most of the time they play all day and are happy just with each other's company."

Hi there,

I would appreciate it if you could add the following to your web page –

We Love Amber.

When we lost our first dog, Daisy, we really never thought we could replace her.

Until we found Amber.

Amber is now well over 2 years old and the best thing that happened to our family. Being a mum with small kids I was worried about getting another dog with a 2 year old. Jamie is now 4 and Amber and he are the best of mates. I can not fault Amber, she is fantastic with both my children. She is loyal and loving and all in all a great companion for the kids.

We would certainly say that this breed is great with young children.

Thanks for everything
