Hi Kim
One of my friends asked
me who had the biggest influence on me in 2009 and I said you, as it was the year we received our wonderful dogs. It was in
January my husband decided he wanted a minature australian shepherd. I wanted a little dog but wasn't sure what. Well, we
drove up there and Jim got Duke and you placed a little aussiedoodle girl in my arms and she is the best I ever had.
We named her Daisy and she is great. Then in September we again drove up and got Daisy's half brother Derby. He is such a
nut and cute as a button. The aussiedoodles love to travel and they have been to Mississippi, South Dakota, and Minnesota.
Duke is Ok with it but really is a homebody.
I take Daisy three times a week to the nursing home and she is the
favorite there, All of the residents know her name (even tho sometimes they can't remember their own grandchildren).
So again thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs! Nancy

Hi Kim, My wife and I bought Brewski (a blue merle Aussie-Doodle) from you just over a year ago.
I wanted to write you to tell you that our baby is doing great! Brewski is my best buddy spending most of the day working
in my office with me. He is super smart and surprises us every day with just how smart he is! He is also gets
along great with our older dog, Hula a 4 year old Cock-a-poo. They are best friends! I have attached some pictures of him we took recently. He’s around a year
and three months. Thanks again for a great dog! Debby and Mark Cherney

Hi Kim, OMGosh
- I am in love! This little guy is such a sweetheart. We named him Windsor. He is so smart - catches on
to everything so quickly. He has a great temperament and he's so darned cute! He hasn't had one accident in the
house, and after only about 2 minutes of whining the first night, settled down into his crate like he'd been in it every night.
He did well for his bath and pretty good for grooming - wasn't too terribly impressed with getting his face cleaned up
or his ear hair pulled!! He was good though. Windsor enjoys the couch and our bed, and is a total cuddler.
He loves to climb in my lap when I'm in my rocker, and we snooze together - should be fun when he's full grown!! He begins
obedience on the 23rd at "Rude Dog U" and I'm looking forward to it. I will attach a couple of pictures. Thanks again. Windsor is very, very loved and I will
keep in touch. Jeanne

Hey Kim!! Everything is
going great! The drive home went really good. And "ash" is already going to my back door when he needs to go potty
so training is going good too. He whined quite a bit the first couple nights but did really well last night! I went to the
vet this morning and he was in perfect health! I'll keep you updated on everything and send you some pictures! Thank you so
much for everything! -Billy

Hi Kim, yes please have your clients call me about their shipping concerns. Tess
is fabulous. I crate trained her from day one and she slept through the night the second night in the crate. She
usually goes to beds around 9:00 and sleeps unitl 7-8 the next AM. She is growing and is absolutely the best puppy I
have ever had. Lots of fun and very interested in everything. She loves other animals and is always willing to
play. I have had her in the car on a trip the past two weeks and she has no problems sleeping in her crate for 3-4 hours.
Very bright and alert. I would recommend an aussiedoodle puppy to anyone. She goes everywhere with me and
people can not believe her beautiful colorations and big blue eyes. Definitely a keeper. I will pass along your
information to anyone interested in a puppy. Thanks for everything, Eldridge and Tess.

Hi
Kim. Jazz is doing fantastic. Abby and Jazz are currently in a puppy kindergarten class and he is
so bright. Everyone keeps asking us what kind of dog he is. People with Australian Shepherds can pick up that
he is part that. He is healthy and growing like a weed. He has a hard time being left in his crate but finally
is sleeping through the night with no crying. We are currently working on leaving him during the day which he does not
like. He gets all worked up in that crate. We have faith that this to will pass as he grows. If some future
customer would like to contact us that would be fine. So far, this experience even though it was our first time buying
a puppy this way has been great. Unfortunately, it is those breeders out there who do it for the wrong reasons make
it difficult. Your website convinced Abby that you run your business honestly. It was a big risk for her heart
to do this after losing her first puppy to a neurological disease. Thank you for this
beautiful gift, Jazz. Cheryl Mills

Hi
Kim, Well, I have had him a week and so much fun and love love him---he is really a sweetheart---Amigo---think
he is really a farm dog ---we have been to the vet and all is well---am taking him in the morn to the groomer---just for a
little trim around his eyes, on his feet and bottom---my boyfriend died in May and he was a real animal lover—then soon
I lost my old dog, Toro---so Amigo is just simply perfect for me---he is wonderful---and I can’t thank you enough for
him----am enclosing one picture but have not had good luck with taking good pictures of him---but I will do better and send
them to you----he has been with us to feed cattle and he rode in the Polaris Ranger and loved it---I have left him very few
times in the short time he has been with me--- Thank you again ! You are a great gal!

Kim, I wanted
to thank you again for my wonderful experience buying a puppy from you. We are so in love with our little Aussiedoodle,
Daisy. From my initial contact with you to her arrival at my home, everything went perfect. As you know, I had
lots of questions and concerns. You were so responsive and patient with everything. I had lots of concerns about
shipping such a small dog so far (from Wisconsin to Texas). But everything went just as you said it would. She
delights us everyday.
I would encourage anyone interested in buying one of your puppies, to
be assured it will be a great transaction and you will be delighted with your new family member. If I can ever give
a personal reference regarding my experience, please let me know.

Hi, Kim.
It past 5 days after we received your puppy.
My two boys named him Charlie.
Charlie
is already very famous to our neighbor and my
kid's friends.
He is amazingly smart ! He knows where is his toilet and
never
missed.
I took some pictures so I send you.
Thank you for giving us such a cute puppy!

Hi Kim,
It's long time.
I send you some grown up pictures of Charlie.
I have
never seen another Aussiedoodle here yet.
When I am taking Charlie somewhere, a lot of people
ask me what kind
of dog is Charlie.
If someone is looking for Aussiedoodle, I will let them
know your website.
Take care,
Akiko

Kim, We are really enjoying KOKO. He is quite a character. He sits in
my chair with me in the morning when I have coffee. He sleeps with us and keeps my feet warm. He is growing and
I will send you a picture. This one is after
his first haircut. He is quite the snuggler. We love him. Bonnie and John Turner

Hi Kim -
After a long, rainy ride home, Gracie has been adjusting well. She and Harley play and sleep
together every day. It's just like having a newborn baby - 2-3 hours of sleep, then play, then 2-3 hours of sleep.
We have found Gracie loves car rides and follows Jonny wherever he goes. She is a VERY smart dog! She has also
transitioned to outside potty training very quickly, and she will have her first checkup this week.
I have attached two nice photos - one of Gracie and one of Gracie and Harley. Thanks again,
Joy

Hi Kim!
Well, we got little Franceen poodle home and do we love her!!
I probably should of just gotten two from you... I think she would be happier if she had someone to play with.
Anyway, she went to the beauty shop and looks great... I just got the puppy cut,
but, she has been warm so next time will probably cut her down all the way. Anyway, if you're ever in the city,
give me a buzz if you'd like to see her.

Hi Kim,
He is getting along great!! We just love him
to pieces! Batman loves going to work with daddy and snuggling with his sisters. He's a wonderful fit for our family!!
Thanks!!

Hi Kim,
Sunny is doing great. He fits right in. He is such a cuddler. If I am sitting in my recliner he will jump
up on my lap and slowly work his away up onto my chest an curl up right under my chin. Or he will lay in your arms like a
baby. He is a wonderful pup! We all love him dearly.
Talk to you soon!

Hi Kim!
Well, Stuart turned 6 on the 11th and Archie will turn 1 tomorrow, the 22nd.
Stu weighs just a bit over 50 lbs while Archie is closing in on 60 lbs.
Stu is 24"+ while Archie is on his way to 26". Archie's color had stayed very
much the same, with beautiful black points. His coat is no longer a puppy coat,
but not quite a real adult coat either. I get so many compliments on his color.
Many people have never seen a Red Standard Poodle.
Stuart remains the true gentleman. He cuddles up in a ball in bed and lays his
head very softly on the pillow. Archie flops heavily on me and his head lands like
a rock
also on me. He really wants me to know that he is there. He stretches out and
takes over
the bed. He is a warm dog, always trying to cool by airing out his tummy.
Stuart has reached Excellent in Rally, then RAE, the Champion level. It takes 10 days
of qualifying in Advanced and Excellent, on the same days. That makes him RAE. He is on the way to RAE2, we have
3 legs for that now.
Archie has been a challenge! Although there is not even the tiniest meanness in him,
there is an extreme exuberance and love of every little thing in his life! He doesn't
just come to eat...he leaps and bounds into the kennel to be fed. He is so fast outside!!!
I thought Stu was fast, but Stu is under complete control. Archie "burns rubber"and
moves like a flash with less control and absolutely no fear.
A lot of time has been spent on discipline. He is a bit mouthy, always wanting to have
your hand or clothes in his mouth. He playfully nips my but, that stinker. He thinks everything is a game.
He is an excellent catch with balls and Frisbees. I throw balls all night, whatever else I'm doing, and wait for him
to put them in my hand before throwing again. He sometimes sets them on the coffee table and uses his nose to roll them
across the table to me. He picks on the other dogs playfully, until they tell him to knock it off. We are not
as far as I had hoped with some training things, but the other day when we went to train, he saw Stu do a dumbbell retrieve
over a high jump. He seemed very interested so I let him try.
You would not have believed how he took the jump, went directly to pick up the dumbbell,
and took the jump back to me with the dumbbell! I was shocked! He just didn't do a sit in front with the dumbbell.
Some people work many, many months just to get their dogs to take the dumbbell in their mouth! We have done a little
bit of dumbbell work ever since he got here. It paid off.
Stuart can get tired of training, even pooped at a show after waiting all morning to show
twice. Archie however, probably needs a walk before training just to take the edge off.
They both love to go in the RV. If they think I am loading or getting it ready, they
drive me nuts, and once outside, they scramble for the RV and all but plaster themselves all over the door. It's a hoot
to watch.
Well, as different as they are, they are a lot alike.
Archie and I have finally bonded very closely. It took a while, partly because
I am sooo close to Stuart and partly because Archie can be a bit distracted and actually had to slow down long enough to get
close. Things are looking very good here at a year...doesn't seem possible that my baby is a year old. The puppy
thing is cute...but I love it when they become "your dog". Archie is now the one who follows me out of the room and
has to know where I am every single minute. He is still very independent, but he sure knows who mom is and wants a close
relationship. He is getting much more praise these days, and he has earned it. The lady I take classes from absolutely
loves his spunk and is sure he is extremely smart. She says he is her favorite kind of dog...he loves to train and is
enthusiastic about everything!
I could keep talking about my boys all night. Instead, I'll put in a few pictures...

Hi Kim,
Thought I would send some pictures...for your web site.
I will also send
some other less formal pictures.
I am so proud of him...he is so special! I am doing all his grooming now.
I
am so hooked on Standard Poodles. I also teach an Obedience class.
On to Open Obedience and possibly Rally.
We do some Agility also, but
Obedience is my favorite.
You should be very proud of your breeding skills!
Let
me know if you ever have more apricots.
Nancy and Stuart
