This page is photos of our past Mini Labradoodle puppies and their parents.
All these puppies have been placed !

This is our Thumper he has been renamed Cody- SOLD
to Jeff and Judy and their Family in Surrey BC

Here are some photos of Cody (formerly Thumper), who is growing like mad and settling in nicely to our home in Surrey, B.C. Since he arrived in September, we've had some great weather, and he's enjoyed plenty of play in our back yard, as well as walks through local forests and the beach. He hasn't yet ventured into the ocean; still a little unsure. Cody loves to run and play with kids, and the highlight of his day is usually walking our son to and from school. Other kids literally line up to pet Cody. The vet gave Cody and thorough examination after he arrived, and said he's in great health. I was surprised to hear that our vet finds "flaws" (like an overbite, diseased eyes, etc.) in one in three puppies he sees, and recommends the owners return those dogs to the pet store or breeder (though he says by that time the owners are usually too attached to their new pet). Anyway, it looks like Cody is from a good set of parents.

We will send more photos later. Right now Cody weighs 18 pounds. The photos I sent are a couple of weeks old; he probably weighs about 14 pounds in them. He was eight pounds when he arrived.

You asked in an earlier email about any tips we could give other Canadians when importing a dog from the U.S. It was relatively simple. Before the airline/shipping company will release the dog, the new owners must take the paperwork to the Canada Customs office at the airport, where the dog must be declared like any other commodity, essentially so it can be taxed. In Cody's case, we had to pay the standard B.C. provincial tax (seven per cent on the purchase price) and the federal tax (called the Goods and Service Tax, or GST, which is six per cent). So we paid 13 per cent on the purchase price, roughly $130 Cdn. Of course, someone who buys a dog in B.C. from a breeder or pet store would also pay the 13 per cent tax -- it applies to everything item bought in B.C. or imported. (And you might think you're overtaxed in the U.S.)

Talk to you later.

Cody at one year

Here are some pictures of Cody. He is absolutely a gem. Such a great personality. He loves everyone and in turn everyone seems to love him. He got a summer cut and looks great.

Here is our newest addition to our puppies, Tony our new toy poodle stud dog in training.
SIESS' SHADOW BUDDY TONY

Studley - Male SOLD at 5 1/2 months
Hello! I just wanted to send you a brief note to say how much my sister and I are enjoying Studley. Our first few days with him were interesting as he was scared to death of stairs and new people. However, he has adjusted well and now spends his days following me around the house. He truely is my little shadow, everywhere I go he's two steps behind. He's better than we could've ever expected. We are constantly hearing people tell us how cute and well behaved he is. I'll be sure to send you some pictures when I get them downloaded. Thanks! Allison

Here is Stud at 1 year

Studley just celebrated his 1st birthday last week and couldn't be doing any better. He's becoming more relaxed everyday and is able to learn new tricks and commands quite quickly. His strange little habits are definately keeping me entertained. I'll be sure to watch your website for pictures of the new puppies.
Thanks, Allison

Lenny -SOLD Has been placed with Sharon and her family. He will be a playmate with Oreo her mixed YorkiePoo.

Lily - SOLD
Has been placed in California with Eileen and Andy's Family.

Lil Jess one of Jessie' last Labradoodle puppies in 07
Opposite photos shows Jess and Benji a full blood lab at the same age. Our Labradoodle's are half the size of the typical Labrador Retriever since we breed with the Toy Poodle. So we call them "Mini Labradoodles"

Things are going great. We love him so much already. He sleeps in bed with us. Probably a bad habit to get into but hard to change now since Sunshine already sleeps with us. He has only had two mistakes in the house and that was the first day. He has not had one mistake since that day. He is a pretty smart puppy. Our other dog loves him to death. She just puts her cheek up against his and he is find with that for awhile and he lets her know when he doesn't want to be touched. She always has to be touching someone. He sometimes prefers not to be held or messed with and she has started to know when he wants to be left alone. He may be little but as they say dynamite comes in small packages. He is very loving and just cuddles up around my neck.
