Jake |
Hi Dr. Kelly!
This is Kathi Piette from Racine, WI. We adopted one of
your larger Goldendoodles in May of 2007 and absolutely
LOVE him!!! We would like to adopt another dog from you
sometime in May 2010. Jake, our Doodle, is a large dog
and since we camp every weekend during the summer and
fall we cannot accommodate another large dog and
therefore are looking into a Cockapoo or small
Goldendoodle. Jake is a certified Canine Good Citizen,
does a reading program with small children and visits
nursing homes. Do Cockapoos have about the same
temperament as the Doodles because we would like to do
the same programs with the new dog or would you suggest
going with a smaller Doodle? |
Jake also has the soft wavy
hair, which is what we like, do the Cockapoos tend to have
that same type of hair or do they have more curly "poodle-like" hair? We would prefer cream,
white or buff. We would like a female but the temperament and
personality is more important.
Attached is two pictures of
Jake. One of when we first got him and another of him now.
Jake will be 3 on March 5th. He loves going camping, car rides,
his family, playing in the snow and catching snowballs, visiting
the senior citizens, but mostly loves all his puppy friends
at daycare!
Thank you and hope to hear from
you soon,
Kathi Piette |

Jack |
Dear Kelly,
I am so sorry for not writing sooner...
it has been "crazy" here while building a house, adjusting to a puppy, and
moving into an apartment for 3 months. This good news is we will all
survive.
Jack is so cute and all
personality. At first he was growing like mad and all anyone could
notice was the size of his feet... but now at 5 months old, he is 35
pounds (and still all feet... but says he is willing to go one on one with
Fred Astaire anytime)... So we feel that Jack will be well within the
weight we were hoping for.
I am sending along a photo that we took a few weeks ago... I hope you
can see the "Einstein" hairdo that he has developed. |
Please tell Lilly that Jack seems to
take after her Retriever side of the family and she should be proud of
such a fine son. We just can't thank you enough for all your
guidance. We just love "our boy Jack". He is the Best.
Hope all is well with you and the family... will write again soon.

Dr. Kelly,
Sorry I haven't written sooner to say "THANK YOU" for the best puppy in
the world! We have had Roxy now for about 2 weeks. She is from
Sammy & Huggy Bear's litter. She is an "angel dog." She is so smart,
good-natured, laid back & excellent w/our 3 year old and 7 year
old children. She was a surprise early Christmas present from Santa.
This is definitely going to be one of my children's most memorable
Christmas's, thanks to you.
Your husband was very informational when we picked Roxy up in Maryland.
Thank you for delivering her there. It was only a short hour drive from
our house. Roxy did great in the car, she slept most of the way home.
The first night we had her, we crated
her in the kitchen and played soft Christmas music on the radio all night.
She woke up to go outside about every 2 hours. The next day she
seemed to adjust quickly to our crazy household.
She is crated every night, has yet to
have an accident in her crate, and has very few accidents in the house (we
take her out during the day about every hour). She is up to sleeping
a 4-5 hour stretch at night in her crate and then goes right back in her
crate and sleeps for another 2-3 hour stretch. |
Roxy |
I took her to the vet the 3rd day that we had her. He was very impressed
w/ her disposition and commented on how lucky we were to get such a laid
back dog. She just laid on the examining table and calmly let him give
her a check-up. He was also impressed that you had already treated her
with her first 30 days of Revolution. He said that he doesn't see very
many breeders that do that. She is going back in next Thursday for
shots. She didn't need any shots at her first vet visit, b/c you had
already given her her second set of shots they day before we got her.
Everyone that meets her falls in love immediately. We had prepared
ourselves for the "Tazmanian Devil" and instead received the "Angel Dog."
She has already won our hearts and is fitting very nicely into our
family. I have a good friend and two neighbors that are going to be
getting puppies in the Spring and have asked for our breeder's name. I
directed them to your website.
Thanks again for the "sweetest dog in the world." You definitely do a
great job breeding these dogs. We couldn't be happier. Thanks again and
Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Brie |
Kelly,
I just wanted to bring you up-to-date on our
Goldendoodle puppy, Brie. She is six months old and weighs 35
pounds. Her size thus far is perfect! She is an absolute riot to be
around. She is so friendly, playful and well-behaved. We take her
to doggie daycare 2-3 days a week and she just loves to play with the
other dogs. We love it too...because when she gets home she is
exhausted. I appreciate all of your correspondence and patience
during the process of selecting a puppy. I have recommended you to so
many people that question us about our Goldendoodle.
Thanks again,
Heather & Jason Hatch |
Hi Dr. Kelly,
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and bring you up to date with our
Molly. She was born in November of last year to Molly and Dancer. She has
grown up into quite a beautiful young lady. Molly loves to play outside
and snuggle inside. There does not seem to be a bad bone in her body, she
loves everyone, especially children. She is also an excellent guard dog.
|
Whenever anyone walks
by our home, day or night, she is sure to let us know. This has been an
unexpected treat. Molly is closing in on her first birthday and weighs
approximately 68 lbs. Our Veterinarian feels she may
get close to 75 lbs when fully grown. My wife Michele and I wish to thank
you for helping bring us a most wonderful and special addition to our
family.
Sincerely,
Michael and Michele Musto

Chilly |
Hi
Dr. Kelly,
I apologize for taking
so long to give you an update on Chilly. We adopted her from you
July 27, 2008. She has been an amazing addition to our family and
now we cannot imagine life without her.
Chilly has grown into a beautiful dog. Her disposition is incredible and
we find ourselves giving out your information often. She is wonderful
with our two boys (Ty 8 and Tommy 10) and does really well with toddlers
and babies. She is very playful and fun but can also be very mellow and
laid back when in the house.
|
We know many people who have Golden Doodles and they just cannot believe how sweet and calm she is. We put her through training beginning at 12 weeks of age and she took to it immediately. She is very smart and obedient.
Thank you for breeding
such amazing dogs. We met a couple this past summer that have two
Golden Doodles from you and their dogs have the same disposition.
Your dedication to temperament and health of each dog is evident.
We are so happy with Chilly and we wanted to say THANKS!!
Fondly,
The Kane Family

Dear Dr. Kelly Barr
and Family,
Hello from the Jones
family in Garner, North Carolina.
Just wanted to write
to let you know how much we love our Laurel Ridge Goldendoodle!
We came to visit you in Blacksburg back in late March, 2008 & went
home with our "Phoebe". She will soon be 11 months old. |
PJ and Phoebe |
She is very smart and athletic, and is
the sweetest, most "huggable" dog we know.
Every time we see her from a
distance we stop and say " man, that's a good looking dog". She goes
to doggie day care a couple days a week and is known as "miss
congeniality". Every day is a happy day for Phoebe. She makes
us laugh with her enthusiasm and bouncy energy, and I do mean "bouncy"!
Recently, we also found out that
Phoebe's brother "PJ" lives about ten miles down the road from us in
Clayton, NC!! His family is Judi and Peter Thompson. I have
attached three pictures of Phoebe and PJ. He is about 70 pounds and
she is about 56 pounds. Other than the size difference they almost
look like twins. They immediately hit it off and ran around playing
until they were exhausted. Thanks again for providing such
beautiful, lovable dogs (from Iris and Huggy Bear litter January 20,
2008).

Brandy |
Hi Dr. Kelly,
Thought I would drop you a line and
let you know that today is Brandy's first birthday. She has been a
wonderful addition to our family and has adjusted very well to boating.
The pictures say it all. She has replaced me as first mate!!
She is Sammy and Teddy Bear's kid and weighs 53 pounds. She is such a joy
and attracts attention whereever we go. As we come into marinas on our
boat other boaters are yelling at us "What kind of dog is that?" As
soon as we dock they come over to meet her.
Take care,
Terry Lyster |
Hello Kelly and John,
I wanted to share some pictures of “Brewski”, I (The Guilfuchi Family)
purchased him from you in December of 2005 as a surprise Christmas present
for the family. |
Brewski |
As you may recall I have various allergies, among them are allergies to
cats and dogs! Having a pet was completely out of the question, until
research led me to you and your spectacular Goldendoodles. I’m not
allergic to “Brewski”!
“Brewski” has rounded out our family- he exudes love and is loved. He is
definitely a mama’s boy, very caring, smart, obedient, loving and gentle
towards others. He will alert us with a low growl and on occasional a
bark, to alert us of approaching strangers. He ignores barking from
unruly dogs during his long walks. He’s a great ball catcher, retriever
and hide-go-seek player! Did I mention he’s the best foot warmer! |
Kelly and John, we receive some many compliments and inquiries. We truly
appreciate the opportunity to have acquired such a great companion, he is
the best, please pass along the compliments to your team and the parents.
Teddy Bear and Rhiley did an “AWESOME” job!
He’s 18 months now and currently weighs a lean 74 pounds!

Hi Kelly,
Happy Holidays to
you and your family. I wanted to share these pictures of our Buddy with
you. He is the son of Lily and Dancer and he was purchased by Jay Crowley
a year ago in June/July.
We absolutely
adore Buddy (see pictures attached above and the one below from one of
your emails). He is our only boy, with three middle-school aged girls. He
is very smart and sweet, well trained, loves the water, has a super
disposition with younger and older kids, barks very infrequently and what
can I say……he’s adorable. We can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful
gift/experience. He has brought our family so much joy.Our best wishes
from our family to yours,
The Crowleys |
Buddy |
Dixie |
Hi Kelly and John,
Huggy Bear and Lilly did a great
job with Dixie. At 8 months, Dixie is about 65 pounds, same as Huggy
Bear, which is pretty good for a girl. Dixie is full of energy,
extremely smart, and a great companion. She is gentle with my 5
Grandchildren and loves people. She rarely barks, but alerts me with a
muted woof when the mailman comes. Thank you for breeding these beautiful
and loving Goldendoodles..

Sammy |
Dear Dr.
Kelly B,
I wanted
to share with you about how my sweet 17 month old "Sammy" has grown.
Sammy has become my loyal companion. Sammy is so handsome,
smart, healthy, gentle, and extremely friendly with a "happy-go-lucky"
expression on his face. He has a very confident prance in his
walk. Sammy never passes up an opportunity to go swimming, loves
children and has won the hearts of dog owners & non-dog owners alike.
He has been nicknamed the "Mayor" of the dog community in my
neighborhood.
Sammy placed "First" in a local Dog Show for "Best Tail" and received &
wore his blue ribbon with pride. Sammy is the first dog I've owned
and what a fine prize I have been gifted. He represents the "First
Class" category for the Goldendoodle breed. I sincerely thank you
for "Sammy". |
Hi Kelly,
Here is a new picture of "Sophie of Maine" at 2.5 years old. Her
mother was Sarah and her father Dancer.Sophie takes Agility Training. Her
class worked out in a heated horse arena over the winter jumping horse
jumps with artificial roses on the top. Her big Christmas trick was
to jump through an elevated 6 ' lighted Christmas wreath with a huge red
bow and streamers. |
She can pick up her
toys and put them in her toy box. She went to the beach almost every
day and played in the surf throughout the winter. She is a bundle of
energy on the beach, but is quite calm at home while she relaxes near my
easel while I paint and listen to music. She continues to love all
people, children and dogs.
The most surprising thing is that she is
extraordinarily musical. Whenever I begin to play the piano, she
makes a bee-line to lie underneath the piano. Whenever she hears a
melody she knows, she begins a quiet song which builds into a passionate
soprano as the music crescendos. She really has a beautiful voice.
Best,
Ann Legg |
Sophie in Maine. |
Hi Kelley,
Attached are some pictures of Sarah's pup "C", or Sophie in Maine.
She is a fantastic dog. She loves and is gentle with everyone
including children, babies and other dogs, huge and tiny. Every nice
evening I take her to the beach, where she can frolic with a wide
assortment of dog friends. She loves to play in the waves and chase
balls into the surf.
Best, Ann |
 
Sophie in Maine. |
Snickers |
Hi Kelly,
Just a short note to let you know that Snickers is doing fine. She is
about 41 pounds and is full of
energy. She is crazy about water of any kind, running through it at top
speed and plowing through it with her face. She is lovely after one of
these outings. She is also getting along well with Daisy, our Terrier
mix. They play together nonstop, snapping and growling at each other, but
never making much contact.
She’s a great dog and we are thrilled to have her. Here are a couple of
photos for your collection. Let me know if you’d like any other
information or photos. Take care.

Kelly, thanks so much.
Her name is Samantha and she’s 7 months old. At 7 months, it’s all
about playing ball. She wants us to throw it in the house, outside,
everywhere (must think she’s a retriever). She will even drop it in the
shower for you to throw. She did really well at puppy school, and walks
so beautifully on a leash in the neighborhood that everyone knows and
loves her. She sits when I stop and any kids that ask will get a paw.
We are proud and grateful to have Dancer and Molly’s kid. Thanks
again.

Simon and Sophie |
Hi Dr. Kelly,
I have finally gotten around to sending
you a picture of our wonderful dogs! Sophie and Simon are Katy and
Shaggy’s babies from the Oct. 31, 2007 litter. Here is the picture
we are using for this year’s Christmas card. Simon is 52 lbs., and
Sophie is 42 lbs. I can’t begin to tell you the joy that these dogs
have brought to our home; they are so smart, loving, and sweet tempered.

Hi Kelly,
I don't think we received your E mail
about putting Emma's photo on the your website.. but of course you can...
Emma is the daughter of Daisy and Dancer ( I don't think my husband gave
you any info with the picture!) She is now 5 months and weighs
27lbs... She is an absolute love, we couldn't have asked for a more
wonderful dog! She is doing great in puppy school, is all about the
treats with her.. you could ask her to do anything as long as there is a
treat involved! Thanks again for breeding such a wonderful dog!!!

Dear
Kelly,
I will send you a Christmas card with a photo of our beautiful Sandie (Goldendoodle)
but I just had to tell you how much she has added to our lives. She
is just a wonderful playful (and smart) puppy and she makes us smile
everyday! We find our whole family sitting on the kitchen floor just
hanging out playing with her. Of course, Sandie does not understand
where everyone is during the day – and why she is not getting constant
attention!!
Sandie is just a beautiful dog with slightly wavy fur. She is around 34
pounds now and we do not think she will get much taller (medium size dog).
Whenever I am walking Sandie people stop me all the time to ask what kind of dog
she is and where is the breeder – so hopefully you are receiving many inquiries
from the Chatham, New Jersey area.
Loren has not had any allergy
problems – and very rarely do I find any dog hair anywhere. I
thought you might like to know this information. Once again – thank
you for such a wonderful loving puppy – she is truly a member of our
family!
Happy Holidays!

Hi Dr. Kelly and John:
Just wanted to update you on our Molly. She is almost a year old and has grown up to be a beautiful
sweet girl. People stop to talk to her at our fence a few times a day and she loves every bit of the attention. She's a great cuddler
and an equally great watchdog which was a surprise to us since we thought a dog called a doodle would be a wimp.
Molly is everything we've hoped for and more. Thank you for her. Here are updated pictures that
(we think) show her great personality.
