(7/7/10)  Hi Judy, I was there about a week and a half ago with my sister and daughter and purchased a Goldendoodle from you (you'll remember me...I'm the one who's car overheated down the road!)  I wanted to thank you again for helping to rescue us!  I'm not sure what we would have done so far from home without your help. I also wanted to let you know how happy we are with our "Molly."  She curled up on my daughter's lap in the car and slept the whole way home from your farm!  My son was so surprised when he got home from school that day and Molly was waiting to meet him!  We have all just fallen in love with her.  She has a very sweet disposition and will fit in very well with our family. Here are a couple of pictures of her with the kids I thought you would like to see.  Thanks again! Jessica Mosher   Manassas, VA   (4/28/10) Hi Judy, We wanted to check in with you and let you know how great out little puppy is doing.  We think he loves it here as much as we love having him in our family!  We just couldn't have found a better dog for our family:)  Enjoy the photos pf Neo...Thanks so much! Best,  Brandi Blaha  Manassas, VA   (5/25/10) Judy, I hope you are well. We just celebrated Trixie’s first birthday (her actual birthday according to your documentation, versus our adoption day – which my kids are committed to recognizing in July), and we could not be happier with her as a member of our family...   Regards, Joe Farley  Naples, Florida   (8/2/10) Hi Judy, Here is a picture of 8-month old Daisy, who is healthy and happy.  She sure gets lots of attention when we take her out - folks admire her beauty, especially her fluffy coat.  She has been spayed and is being trained in order to keep some of her natural exuberance under control.  Could you please remind me when the yearly goldendoodle reunion takes place at Glen Eden? (9/25/10!) Thank you!  Janice Hazelhurst   Bethesda, Maryland
(7/18/10) Good morning Judy,  I just wanted to share with you some info about our new little man.  His name is ,"Rudy Doodle". He respnds to his name very well.  Jeff and I are amazed at his behavior for one so young ! He actually  goes to the door to potty. Of course he needs constant survelience,  but he is well on his way with that one. I am beginning with sit, wait,  ok, and out, oh, and of course, DON'T. He is very affectionate and  loves to be near us. OK, can you see we love this little red "fur ball" ?  What a pleasure just to enter your gates. The beauty and serenity are  worth the visit alone. We are looking forward to a long relationship  with you and wish you all the best.  Sincerely,  Donna Weintraub, Manassas VA (6/26/10)  Hi Judy,  I wanted to send you a picture of Jake, the labradoodle I got from you at the end of April.  He is 17 weeks now.  He is all ready for the 4th of July! Keeping him on the leash was such a great idea, thank you! He is such a great puppy and so smart - he knows sit, down, paw, high five, and he's in the process of learning roll over.  Everyone in the neighborhood loves seeing him on our nightly walks and he is so friendly with everyone and every dog he meets.  He has all of our hearts already - especially my mom's! I hope we can make it to the Doodle Romp this fall! Thank you for Jake :)  Sandra Meiselwitz   Havre de Grace, Maryland
(4/18/10) Dear Gleneden Family, A little less than 4 years ago, we purchased our Labradoodle, Lucy, from you.  She has just celebrated her 4th birthday and is a wonderful part of our family!  My grandchildren adore her, and she too is wonderful with them.  She is a great companion and is the smartest dog we have ever owned!  People stop and ask us about her and want to know more about the breed.  She is sweet, loyal, and completely spoiled!  We love her so much that we may be contacting you soon to get her a brother or sister.  Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs!  A picture of our granddaughter, Ella, used to be on your web-site with Lucy when she was a puppy.  Here is an up-dated photo of them hanging out at my daughter's house. Sincerely, Sue Reed   Norwalk, CT   (7/8/10) Hi, Judy!  Just wanted to send a quick not to let you know how fantastic Huck is.  Everywhere I go, people stop to pet him and love on him -- he gets SO many compliments.  He took the entire vet's office by storm by not only being strangely happy and content to be there (before AND after getting his shots), but also making friends with all of the other dogs in the waiting room. His little puppy smile and fuzzy face are always sure to brighten up the day!  Huck's best friend is a 9-month-old chocolate lab who is teaching him how to be a cool, older dog.  He's learning some important life lessons on when not to chew someone else's rope and is putting his energy to good use until he's old enough to hit the dog park.  We can't wait for the Doodle Romp -- so much anticipation! Mamie Belle   Washington, DC   (5/10/10) Hi, Attached is a picture of Stanley doing what he loves best – playing at the beach!  We were living in NYC when Stanley came to live with us, but moved to San Francisco when he was just a year old.  Now at 7 years, he is a true California dog!  He has the pure “retriever” gene and will fetch anything that we throw.  Preferably into the water, so he can swim to retrieve it.  We also had to activate the childproof features of the car windows, after he figured out how to open them when we were out for rides.  That still doesn’t stop him from whimpering to ask for the windows to go down whenever we pass near the ocean.  Thanks again for bringing Stanley into our lives – he brings happiness to each and every day!  Mark Gorman  San Francisco, CA	(5/23/10) Hi Judy, We adopted our first puppy from your daughter-in-law Becky a couple of years ago.  Our dog Scout is a wonderful addition to the family.  The experience has been so good we are investigating adopting a second miniature goldendoodle... Thank you,  Annette Price  Devon, PA   (7/10/10)   Hi, Judy!   just thought you'd like to see this picture of Hollywood at a little over 4 months and about 27 pounds.  So quickly he has become such an important part of our family!  Thanks for raising such special dogs!  Ryan & Jackie Severidt   Bristol, Tennessee (5/23/10) Hi Judy - Well, our Molly just turned 2 yrs old, and what a love she has turned out to be.  She is the sweetest puppy.  Did you know that she smiles?  Our vet thought that was the coolest thing.  The only problem is that since she is coal black and her teeth are very white, small kids often are afraid of that smile.  Bill and I get it whenever we come home. She is a very healthy, active little girl.  She loved the snow during the blizzards.  We could hardly get her in the house.  She has made friends with other dogs also.  When we take her to friends' homes who have dogs, she runs and plays with the best of them.  Someone recently asked if having only 3 legs slows her down - not at all!!!  She runs with the best of them. Just wanted to give you an update.  Molly has really been a blessing in our family - we love her a lot.  Hope all is well with you...  Sincerely,  Sandi and Bill Corwin Crofton, Maryland (5/16//10) Hi Judy,  I just wanted to let you know how Duncan was doing! He is a happy little guy and full of energy. Maggie is adjusting nicely and they do play together, and it seems that she is protective of him a little as well. He is on some meds for the intestinal parasite thing you mentioned, but loves those cherry tasting doses. Wayne and I look forward to not being awakened at 4:30 AM to take him out! We love to watch him trot....Thanks for everything, especially for bringing such joyous little souls into the world. Linda Juchatz   Kiawah Island, SC   (7/12/10) Judy: It’s been over 6 years since we picked up Sascha on a snowy weekend in late February, 2004.  She has been a hyperactive handful but the sweetest, most wonderful dog we have ever had.  We could probably benefit from a visit from Cesar Millan still but I wouldn’t trade this apricot F1B for anything. This note is just a very belated thank-you and to send you a couple of pictures from 2006 that will give you some idea of how she turned out.  She has such a beautiful carriage that I wish there were a breed standard.  In all, I wouldn’t change a thing about her although we have seriously thought of getting a larger, more sedate companion for her (like a mastiff) in the hope of curbing her enthusiasm. Again, thanks and best wishes for future breeding. Michael Stone, Harrison, NY
(5/1/10) Hello Judy: Our wonderful Beignet turned 9 this month and I just had to send you this latest photo of him celebrating spring.  Benny, as he is known to his friends, is the grand old man of our neighborhood....welcome in everyone's house and loved by all.   He has such a loving and happy disposition and we could not be happier to have him in our lives.  We hope you are well! Andrew and Ginny McBride  Washington DC (2/15/10) I bought my labradoodle from you almost 10 years ago and my Maggie is still as frisky as a puppy. We frequently get stopped while we are out walking her, because she is so adorable. I always send people to your website when they express interest. Thanks for a great dog! Sincerely,  Janet Reilly  Commack, NY (7/6/10)   Hi Judy, I have had "Ginger" (one of Ruth and Prize's puppies) since September, 2008. She is WONDERFUL. I've attached a pic of her as of a few weeks ago. I have become friends with Carol Vernon, who has "Sadie", who is Ginger's sister. We have a ball with our goldendoodles in Charlottesville!...Thanks!   Karen Schmidt   Charlottesville, Virginia (7/12/10) Hi – in 2000, we chose a Labradoodle from you guys.  We named him Marley – well ahead of the now famous Marley.  He remains the center of our world.  He’ll be 10 in November.  Thought you’d like to know.  Here are a couple pictures... Mitch, Susan, Courtney and Ben Freedman   Reston, Virginia
(5/6/10) Judy, we picked up a Labradoodle 3 years ago and now want a second. do you have any dogs that are older than puppies? if not, do you have puppy candidates for us to see next week. sincerely, Mark Zelinger, Vienna Virginia   (2/7/10) Judy: Stella is doing great - she just passed her first training class, and will start the intermediate class in a few weeks. She loves this snow! Everyone compliments her everywhere we go!  We are sure to tell her that we adopted her from you. She's beautiful!  Beth Wilson, Powatan, Virginia (6/20/10) Hi Judy,  Just an update: Teddy is doing great, he's very fun and friendly and great with our Boston and our daughter too! He's getting the hang of basic commands and his name. He loves chewing bones and chasing our other dog. A few accidents in his crate but we think it was some anxiety... Thanks again!  Adam Bayes  Winchester, VA   (6/23/10) Judy, Here is a picture of our wonderful Dutch who we got from you almost four years ago.  He was from a "litter" of two, so stayed in your daugthers home while he was a wee puppy!  He now has a new sister (1 1/2) and brother (4 months) and is so sweet to them which, of course, endears him to me all the more! Anyway, we just love him to pieces and thought we'd share a photo to let you know he is doing well!  Thanks, Pam Micciche	(7/21/10) Hi Judy, Sending along a photo of Dude on his 9th Birthday today.  What a wonderful dog he is.  Since bringing him home in 2001, we have been blessed with two daughters-in-law and four grandchildren.  Everyone loves him and he is as gentle and sweet to the babies as a dog can be.  He and I walk two miles every morning and he still Loves his toys.  We call him the Perpetual Puppy.  He’s sporting his “summer do” in this photo!  Thanks for the great job you do!  Cheryl Garcia   Haymarket, VA (6/12/10) Dear Judy, I don't think I have ever told you what a good decision we made that snow covered day when we decided to get our labradoodle now! and not wait.  We chuckled later how we braved the snow-covered road and how you gave us an old towel and puppy food to last a day or two and home we went.   As you may remember, my husband, was the one  who wanted a "buddy".........all of our previous dogs had been "mine" and I was  the primary caregiver .  Well, buddies they are ....every waking moment together, as hubby is semi-retired.  He rides up the road in the back seat on his blanket to get the paper in the morning and today we had a "first"........he hopped in by himself!   We laugh at Bosun's antics and enjoy walks up the road in the evening.  We know Bosun will love his new summer home on the Chesapeake Bay...........not ready till August.  He has visited the construction site with us and approves.  Thank you thank you for a wonderful dog!   Fondly, Lena Britt  Fairfax, Virginia (5/28/10) Hi Judy, I wanted to send you two pictures of Daisy.  We adopted her from you in late September 2008.  She is doing great--full of energy.  Our boys (ages 4 and 6) love her! We are always told how beautiful she is! And just as you said, she's right at 50lbs.  Thanks for such a great dog!   Sincerely, Sara Butler Palmyra, VA
