FIVE YEAR OLD  Update From Australia

"BONNIE"    daughter of Rutlands Stella and Shannon

 

31st October 2007

Hello Rutland Manor,

We thought we’d like to say hello today as it’s our beautiful “Bonnie’s” 5th birthday.

We collected Bonnie from Rutland Manor back in December 2002 (Stella/Shannon baby) and have had the most wonderful family pet/member from that day. She receives compliments each time we go walking. Our friends and family all love her to pieces. She is so devoted to us and feeds on and gives affection generously. Once again hello to Bonnie’s birth family and thanks for a great friend.

Regards Sharon Munro

 

 

Update From Berlin Germany

"CINDY "

Daughter of Clementine and Nirvana

 

Well our Cindy has taken over Berlin. There is not a place where you can go to without people just falling in love with her and asking what type of dog she is etc, etc. She is a huge advertisement for labradooodles here and should be on royalties.

 We have to say that the labradoodle is just as you described them - in every way. Really great is that it has worked perfectly with Gabriela's allergy.

 Above all else is Cindy's relationship to our daughter, Ashley: they are two pigs in mud.  Inseperable. It is so cute and hilarious seeing a five year old training a dog and the dog doing everything she says! (in the first few weeks it was really hard going with the Cindy's biting Ashley and other kids. We took your advice here as well and since then there has been no further trouble) .

Ashley is so proud of her Cindy: in kindergarten she is the attraction, here in the neighbourhood- the other kids love her and Ashley knows it!    Since almost after her first week here we have been going to dog school with Cindy twice a week. Firstly, it is great because Cindy has all sorts of mates that she can play with ( she is the toughest and roughest of all there, dobermans etc included) and secondly, she has really learnt. Again, exactly as you said it she is.  She really wants to learn and it is amazing at how clever they are. 

I would say she is very well behaved and listens well.  As you can see we are having fun! She is too!

 Lots of love

 

 

California Welcomes "KUMA" November 2007

Son of Kisses and Rustie Ryan

Kuma arrived in Los Angeles Thursday morning.  

So he's here, and cute as a button!  He only peed in the house once so far.  He learned to ring his Poochie Bells in one day.  He seems to know a few other things.  I'm wondering if you used the phrase "Drop it" when he chewed something wrong.  He keeps chewing his leash, and when I say, "Drop it," he stops.  And I've told him "sit" and "come" and he seems to know them too.

 He seems happy with his crate.  It's in the living room in the day and in the bedroom at night.  He goes in all on his own to nap all day long.  This morning I made him some greens, squash, red bell pepper, garlic, apple, and banana in the food processor.  I mixed it with a little cottage cheese, rice, and cooked chicken meat.  He seemed to love it, and it didn't upset his tummy at all.  His stools have been fine.

 I just wanted to tell you he's fine, healthy, and I already love him!  Thanks so much.

'MEGGIE' 

Holland Update

Dear people at Rutland Manor,

Meggie was born on 0ctober 24 in 2005. Her mom and dad are Lil Ruby and Yogi Bear and we received Meggie on january 13, 2006 and she has been a real joy to us ever since. We love her very much and we think that she is the most beautiful dog in the world!!!!

Meggie is smart, very comical and a real sweetheart for children of all ages. We are taking her to obedience-class and she learns quickly. She absolutely loves water... she likes to swim in the river and we often take her canoeing. The sandy beaches of our Dutch coast are another favorite of hers. She likes to dig and dig and dig....

Meggie started off with a black fleecy coat and after a while she started to turn chocolaty brown/black. That must be Yogi Bear's genes!!!

Our vet was very impressed with Meggie. She is the first labradoodle to come to his practice and he thought that she was in excellent shape when she arrived from Australia. You people do a wonderful job!!! Meggie is a healthy, strong and well-balanced dog. You prepare the dogs very well for their overseas trips and they are truely bench-trained when they arrive. Wonderful.


We have never been able to keep a dogs because of the allergies in our family. With Meggie all this has changed. Her coat is fantastic. No allergic reaction. It is a miracle. And we are so blessed. Thank you.
