Gigi	Hi Helen and George, Attached please find some pix of Gigi. She is a superb creature: friendly, sweet, brilliant and playful. She has been on Martha Stewart: The Apprentice and the Today Show. She's just fabulous. Thank you!

	Hi, Helen! I enjoy looking at your site, it looks like you've moved. Here's some pictures of our doodle, George. He was from your March 2005 litter from Cody and Belle. He's weighs in at a lofty 105 pounds! He's a big boy, but full of love. He's just the best dog we've ever had, so loving and gentle. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Keep up the great work. We've recommended lots of people to you. Are Cody and Belle still having puppies? Sincerely, Sharon Foote (Orangeville)

Sophie	Hi Helen, Just wanted to get this e-mail off to you now that we have chosen our puppy. We are the Clifford's and we came yesterday and picked our puppy from Ember and Dodger's litter. We are certainly in love with her already. Your husband said that she seemed to have more of a Golden Lab nose than the other two and as far as we are concerned she is just perfect. The other two were certainly sweet but everything about Sophie (think that is what we are going to call her) seemed just right. I'm attaching a couple of photo's that we took yesterday. Thanks so much..... Maxine Clifford

Ripley	I sent you a picture of Ripley on the lawn as a puppy and I was pleased to see it is still showing in your photo gallery. I thought I would send you one of him now that he is full grown. He weighs about 95lbs and is an amazing dog with a great personality and loves to swim � no surprises there. Enjoy the photo and thanks.

	Hello Helen - We bought our Golden Doodle from you on February 21, 2007. He was the last of a litter born on December 4, 2006. We have named him "Cato" - after a family of magistrates of the Roman Empire - and we thought you might like to know how he is coming along. He has grown very well (he eats heartily!) and now weighs 65 pounds. He is a fine healthy boy, with no fat on him, all muscle and energy. His personality has turned out to be all we could have hoped for. He definitely has a mind of his own, but is very intelligent and eager to please, and has a sweet temperament which makes him a great hit with everyone he meets, from our grandchildren to the neighbours and even the vets in the practice we go to, who all want to adopt him. His mouth has always been very "soft" right from the beginning and he will let us put our hands in and do anything to his teeth, tongue and mouth without any attempt to bite. He has completed the first of two sessions of puppy training at Campaign Dog Academy, and started on the second course. He is great with other dogs and with the other dog owners and the instructors. Of all the dogs there he is the least noisy and, in fact, does not often bark at all. When he does, he is now barking baritone instead of soprano and will undoubtedly be a quite impressive watchdog without being a nuisance about it. We took him last week for his first grooming session, wondering how the groomers would make out when they started to trim the hair around his eyes, chin and paws, which is what we asked them to do. When we went back to pick him up they said he had been really wonderful, gave them no trouble with any part of the process, and loved the bathing and the hair dryer afterwards. He had, of course, been regularly brushed at home, but we had been a bit apprehensive about the grooming parlour, but no problem at all! Last Thursday Cato was neutered, and he still has his cone on at the moment but bears it stoically. He doesn't fight having the cone on and off, but would obviously prefer to have nothing to do with it if he could have his choice. We are attaching a picture taken yesterday, in which he is wearing his cone. You can see he is actually a very happy dog, and also that he has a very beautiful set of adult teeth now. He is a great pet, a strikingly handsome dog, and we are very pleased and happy with him. Ken & Ann Harris

	Dear Helen, I thought that I would finally get around to sending you a note to let you know how Finnegan is getting along here in Toronto. We've been mighty busy these past few weeks getting used to having a new member of the family. Crate training has been an unbelievable challenge! He hates the crate and spent the first week barking all night long. We're persevering, however, and he has made slight improvements in the past week. Everything else seems to have been going really well. He basically got the hang of house training within the first week and we have had very few accidents. He already knows "sit", "lie down", "off", and we're really close on "stay" and "come". He's also learning to walk well on a leash. He LOVES meeting people and seems genuinely perplexed when people don't want to stop and meet him. He's met half the kids at the school and is very patient, letting everyone pet him. Don't be surprised if you get some phone calls based on Finnegan (I've already had a couple of people ask for your contact info) because almost everyone we've seen in the past few weeks agrees he is the cutest, gentlest, most beautiful puppy � they're right! I'm including a couple of pictures for you. The first (with the ball) was taken at 8weeks old. The second (with his stuffed animal alter ego) was taken at 10 weeks, and the last 2 were taken at 11 weeks. Thanks for all you did to produce our lovely dog. Mary Smeaton

	My wife and I bought a mini golden doodle back in December. We named her Fugazi. She has been wonderful. I wanted to share some pictures of Fugazi with you as we are very proud of her. Stephen Perry

	Hi Helen, It's Keri Maki from Thunder Bay. I just wanted to show you an updated picture of Copper (just over one year later). He is such a great dog and a has been wonderful addition to our family. My children adore him (they don't even argue when it's their turn for "poop detail") and my husband and I were so ready to have him join our family. He has a fantastic temperament and has had such a "go with the flow" personality since the day we got him. All of my daycare children and their families all love him as well, and he is so good with all of them. He was just at the vet for his check up and vaccinations last Thursday and is doing well. He weighs in at 60.7 pounds and stands at just over 22 inches at the shoulders. The vet says he has some "skin left to grow in to" so I am not sure how much bigger he will grow. Who knows, maybe in another year or so, he will need a friend. I am so thankful we found your website when we did as I cannot imagine our lives without Copper in it. I have told all of my friends and family about you and even the many people I don't know, as there is not a day that we cannot escape walking, or being out with Copper without at least one person stopping us to ask us about him and where we got him. Thank you again. Take Care, Keri Maki and Family

	Lola is loving the cottage and the water.She also likes getting dirty. All is great and she is doing very well John Reid

	Hi Helen Just an update on our mini dood Reggie (Echo/Rusty, March 23) I cannot believe this pup. Never in my life have I seen a puppy this age be so good! He has the sweetest personality and is so easy to train. We all just love him to pieces. He is gentle, easygoing and very well behaved. He is pretty much housetrained with the rare accident now and then. He walks well on a leash and loves people. We've started puppy classes and he can sit, stand and down on command. I can't thank you enough for Reggie. He has brought so much pleasure in to our lives. You are obviously great at what you do! Here are some pics. Take care, Katie Waddell

	Hi Helen, Just wanted to let you know that Jake is doing quite well. He's adjusting to "houselife" but still finds the outside his favourite place to be. He sure is a sweet dog! I thought I'd send you a picture so you know he's being well taken care of. Julie

	Hi Helen, I purchased a Goldendoodle female puppy from you on April 22, 2006. She was born on February 22, 2006. I call her Marlee. I just wanted to let you know that she is absolutely wonderful and I love her very much. She has the sweetest disposition- she is funny, silly, loving, really cute and smart too! She weighs 55 pounds and is in great health. I could not be any happier with her and have been meaning to contact you for some time now to tell you so.

	Hi Helen, Linus is almost six months old now and doing just great. He is so smart and such a happy puppy. He is growing like crazy but he is still very much a puppy - all wiggly and floppy when he meets and greets people and other dogs. I am attaching a picture of him and our daughter Gracie (who is 6 yrs old). It was taken at the beginning of July. At what age would you recommend getting Linus neutered? Hope you are enjoying your summer. We haven't had much of one weather wise, but I'm sure it's coming. MaryGwen Hi Helen, I hope you are having a great summer! We have been having a great summer with Linus. He has been swimming, kayaking, picnicing (is that a word?), and having a great time. He is was neutered about a month ago and that went smoothly. I really can't tell you enough how thrilled we are with him. He is so very smart and such a great listener. Attached is a picture that was taken of him kayaking. I hope you enjoy it. Are you planning any more litters in the near future...just curious. MaryGwen
