Lilly and Pierre's last female offspring left on Feb. 4th, 2006 to live in Virginia. Cute Susan and Ariel forced their parents to make the trip to get their special little doodle pup! (just kidding!) It was a delight to meet the Mister family and if Susan and Ariel change their names..again....
let me know! We'll keep their names and photos updated!
Thank you very much for making that long drive! We know this beautiful doodle girl will make your family very happy.
On 2-10-06 we received the following email:
Hi Dee!
I hope this email reaches you.
I wanted you to know that we named the puppy Chloe. Chloe is from Pierre and Lilly's litter born October 30, 2005. She has been a perfect puppy. We took her to the vet the day after we got home with her and she is healthy. She weighed 15 pounds. She is their first goldendoodle patient.
Chloe is sleeping through the night and is making great potty training progress. She is really smart!
If you have any pictures of her siblings I would love to see them. It will be fun to watch them grow. :)
Thanks!!
Nicki Mister
Hi Nicki! Thanks so much for getting back to me! Well, this Chloe makes our fourth doodle named "Chloe"...so, I hope I don't get them confused when photos come in!haha
I am glad to hear all is great and we look forward in watching her grow with your family!
Hugs to "Susan" and "Ariel"!!! You'll have to go to our other "2005" past doodle pages to see her siblings, if they are on there. That is why we ask for people to tell us who the parents are and their birthday so that it helps others who have a pup from the same litter watch the siblings grow.....thanks for keeping in touch!
Dee
"this page is a new addition to all of our other past doodle pages and is still under construction"
On 2-11-06, we received the following letter and photos from the Matthews family in North Carolina regarding "Doodle"...such a cute name!! To the left is their letter and below are the photos!
Thanks Doodle for looking so doodly cute! We can't wait to see your photos at one year of age!
Dee
We stil remember the day you left with your new family! What a cuttttte face you have! Thank you so much, to the Matthews family for keeping in touch and may you have a really blessed year!
Dee
On 2-12-06 we said good-bye to the second to the last Goldendoodle male pup out of Angel and Darby's litter. This large apricot boy will be residing in NC with the Hartigan family.
Keep us posted as he grows and thank you for joining our doodle family!
On 2-15-06, we received the following email:
Hi
Had to send you a note to say what a fabulous web site you provide to everyone! As a proud mom of a 14 week Golden Doodle, Noodles (and a 3 1/2 year Golden Retriever and 18 year old Quaker parrot) - I am writing to say thank you for providing such a wealth of information about the breed! I knew nothing about the breed before Noodles joined us at home so I am learning as I go along. He was an unplanned but very wanted adoption. I found your page about the coat changes fascinating. My husband and I are currently playing the coat game now in an attempt to figure out if Noodles will be more poodle like or more Golden like. I guess time will tell. In the meantime, we are completely enjoying his very strong, yet playful personality. I see why you are so devoted to the breed.
Regards,
Elissa
Noodles at 8 weeks of age
Noodles at 11 weeks of age
Noodles at 14 weeks of age
Dear Elissa,
Thanks so much for the email and the lovely photos of Noodle. She is precious and so cute! She could pass for one of our own. I believe Noodles will have a nice, long and very thick shaggy coat with many waves in it.
Our doodle planet is The place for Goldendoodle owners to share their photos of purchased doodle dogs, comments and stories and a terrific place to locate a quality, beautiful, low shedding,first generation Goldendoodle puppy! Our website is a place where PEOPLE KNOW TO GO TO KNOW FOR FREE!!!!!! We are doodle owner recommended and advertise on numerous Doodle breeder'slists across the net, many doodle hybrid and other canine resources. We have been a professional canine breeder for 12 years as of Jan. 2008! The Goldendoodle gets its name from its mixed heritage .... golden retriever and poodle. The Poodle and Golden Retriever parent can be of any size. Goldendoodles are a hybrid dog, a first generation cross. We DO NOT create back-bred or inbred Goldendoodles. Some breeders claim "Hybrid vigor" with hybrids but Hybrid vigor has not been scientifically proven and is thus the personal opinion shared by manyPoodle hybrid breeders. This hybrid cross which is between two purebred dogs of different breeds such as the Poodle and the Golden Retriever are very family oriented dogs, friendly, intelligent, loving, cuddly and very affectionate. The Goldendoodle is easy to train just like the highly intelligent Golden Retriever. You will find our Goldendoodle site the largest, most comprehensive, informative and extensive doodle site on the net. Our DOODLE PLANET provides information regarding the shedding, coat phases of a Goldendoodle. The Goldendoodle is a low shedding dog and does work out well for many who have allergies. The goldendoodle, however, is NOT a hypo-allergenic dog regardless of how many people desire to believe this. Goldendoodles come in all sizes and colors. Goldendoodles can have blue, green, amber or brown eyes. All Goldendoodle adult dogs sport a very thick, facial beard. There are no "rare" markings or colors for a Goldendoodle. A doodle dog's coat is generally very thick, shaggy and wavey as an adult. Some doodles sport loose curls in their coat. A Goldendoodle should not have a flat or tight curly coat as an adult. Their tail, when not docked, rides high above the back and is curled over at the tip. Some doodles sport long ears and some doodles sport ears that are short but flip over at the tips. Despite the fact many breeders claim they breed "Miniature Goldendoodles", theKennel standardfor a Miniature sized dog is NOT to stand over 15" in height from the highest point of the shoulders and they should not weigh over 25 pounds as an adult. Kennel Standards do apply to ALL MINIATURE SIZED DOGS REGARDLESS OF BREED. Any dog weighing over twenty five pounds as an adult is not considered to be a Miniature sized dog. The size of the Poodle does not define the size of goldendoodle offspring. The Goldendoodle's entire lineage plays 100% in the genetic make up of a Goldendoodle. The Goldendoodle hybrid does NOT fall into size categories such as "Miniature", "Toy", "Standard" or "Giant" like purebred dogs. Such terms are merely "breeder" terms and not Kennel Club terms. Yes!!! Goldendoodles are a Kennel Club, registered hybrid. However, they are NOT a recognized breed by the American Kennel Club because they are not purebred dogs. They are hybrids and can be registered with many Kennel clubs that register purebreds and hybrids alike.
On 3-05-06 we said good-bye to one of Jayda and Pierre's beautiful dark apricot Goldendoodle boys! Quint's birthday is on 3-9-05 and this lovely boy is his birthday gift from his parents! Caroline was smitten too by "Brody's" super sweet and laid back temperament! Okay Quint and Caroline...take good care of Brody and keep us posted with photos and news as he grows!

On 3-5-06, we received more great photos of Jack and his "cousins" and the following email:
Hi Dee! I sent you a picture of Jack a few weeks ago but I wasn't
sure if you received it! It's not on the web site. Here are 2 new
ones!
First, an update...Jack is amazing! We love him so much. He is from
Sara and Pierre's litter (6/26/05) so he just turned 8 months and
weighs a whopping 60 lbs! He's huge! He is the most lovable and
friendly dog! He has the best time with all of my kids friends and
all the other dogs in the neighborhood. He has two "best" friends...
Charlie, who is a week younger (born 7/4/05) and Shaggy who is about a year older(born 7/26/04, I think)! Charlie belongs to the Kopelson family and Shaggy belongs to the Cahn family! It's a "doodle" party when everyone gets together.
The pictures I sent are of Jack in the snow and Jack with Shaggy and
Charlie (that was a hard one to take!!!). Boy does he love to play
in it! He had a blast with our younger daughter!
Thanks for an amazing dog.....
Beth Zive
*Jack, Shaggy and Charlie are Lake Ridge Goldendoodles*
Charlie seems to be telling Shaggy "And he was about THIS HIGH" when we met!!!"
Jack says " HEY MOM...I THINK THERE'S A KID IN THIS SNOW ...SOMEWHERE!!!"
Thank you Beth for these wonderful photos! If you or anyone who owns our doodles want to buy some great gifts with photos on them of your doodles...please visit our Goldendoodle store!
Also, you can find more of Jack's photos on our "2005" past doodle links from our main page.
We had alot of people interested in this beautiful, red and white male Basset hound that only weighed ounces at birth! However...there is only ONE person who needed to have him be a part of their lives and it was Ginny Singleton and her family.
Ginny lost her older Basset Hound to old age and I know, this boy was meant just for her! On 3-5-06, Ginny sent us the following lovely photo and email:
Hi Dee,
I just wanted to thank you for a great puppy! We named him Winston, and he has settled in very well with us. He has slept all night the last two nights, and his first doctor's appointment is Tuesday morning. He loves his fenced yard and, you're right, he loves attention, and he gets it during all waking hours. My daughter is in love with him as well, and already misses him, and she doesn't leave for college until August! He rode extremely well in the crate during the trip home, and he is already very loved in this family. Thanks again.
Ginny Singleton
Dear Ginny,
I am so glad that Winston could fulfill your life with happiness and joy once again. I personally know how hard it is to lose a canine that has a special place in your heart and believe me....it's difficult. But the hardest part is being without that unconditional love and gratitude for all that you do for your canine friend.
We are glad that Winston is able to complete your life once again and to refill your home with canine love. We are deeply saddened by your loss of your past canine friend, and we know he can never be completely replaced...but know that your canine friend is simply delighted that Winston could come into your lives and make you whole again.
Keep us posted as he grows! He has a special place in our hearts too! You see, Winston (Your winston) was only ounces when he was born. We have him a 50/50 chance at survival. We hand raised him, bottle fed him and eventually had our Tiny toy poodle raise him because he was so small, we feared his mother would accidentally lay on him and smother him. We watched him grow from ounces to what he is today....a simply superb Chestnut red and white beauty who loves to love!
Dee
Dee,
I checked out the website! Cute picture. I promise to send more! The kids will be excited to see it!
Thanks for the info about the pups getting along. Cricket is barely 4 and still has a lot of puppy in her. She is dying to play with him, his nips are just too hard. Sharp teeth! They will be fine soon, no doubt. By the way, Brody has had an AWESOME day today...really getting comfortable and seems to love me to death.....who's dog is this again? Ha! He is Precious! I'll be in touch very soon!
Shelli
On Tue 03/07/06 01:08 AM, we received the following email from Shelli after asking her how Brody (see above) was doing and adjusting to his new home and family. I also let her know we had put up a photo for her:
Hi Dee!
Brody is doing great. He is still as sweet as ever, and he is getting used to his surroundings and feeling more confident. My kids, my husband and I just love him! He and my poodle are not getting along great yet, but they are figuring each other out still. We are really working hard to play with them both and help to ease any anxiety. He is just being a puppy and wants to do the nip thing, but she sees it as an "attack" and gets really scared. She has a really sweet personality and loves to play, so I know it will work out. I am going to get online today and see if I can get any good tips about making this easier.
He does his business EVERY time we take him out and has only had a couple of accidents. We are crating him at night...he doesn't love that, but it works. We are getting up with him every 2 hours and will change to three hours soon. It has been a long time since I have been a mommy to a baby!His vet appointment was good....no worms or anything. He goes back in two weeks.
Again, he is as sweet as he can be. I will send you an updated picture in a week or so, along with a thank you letter to put on your website.
We will keep in touch! Thanks!
Shelli
Shelli,
Thanks for letting us know how Brody is doing and we are glad he is getting a feel for his surroundings. Your thank you letter has already been put up...see above! haha Don't worry about your Toy Poodle and Brody getting along. She will sort him out and put him in his place but as he ages, they will soon learn how to live with each other. Brody is just being a puppy and exploring all the new cool things of your home...to include Cricket!haha
I know...I said I would send some when he had at least changed a little, but when these turned out so cute I just had to share with you!
Please offer my email to the new family....I'm not certain that I would make the first contact, but would be happy to correspond if they want to.
Thanks again!
Shelli
Dear Shelli,
I know it is hard to wait to send photos when these babies are just too incredibly cute for words! Feel free to join our doodle map down below and our goldendoodle rap group!
On Tuesday evening, March 7, 2006...we received the following email from Sherrie, who is going to be picking up Brody's (see above) only sister on Saturday.
Hi Dee!! Thanks so much for taking the time to email me a photo of the baby girl. I REALLY appreciate it!! We are super-excited. BTW - your website is a great resource... I would recommend it to anyone interested in a doodle!!!
Thanks again,
Sherrie Masdon
Dear Sherrie, Not a problem! We'll put your photo on this page with Brody's sister when we meet you on Saturday! We had lots of people inquire about this one little girl...but as we tell everyone...it is "first come, first serve"...especially when there is just ONE male or female in any given litter. We thank you for enjoying our website! It is growing over the years just as we are. We welcome all to join and give our wonderful Goldendoodles a chance to show those naysayers how wrong they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On 3-11-06......"Penny" gets to meet her new family and her new Master is delighted! She falls to the ground in a playful fit! >>>
"Penny"......our lovely ONLY female Goldendoodle pup in Jayda and Pierre's litter......gets to meet her new playmate!
Both seem thrilled to make each other's acquaintance.
Okay...it's MOM's turn to meet Penny.... a beautiful dark, apricot Goldendoodle puppy by Lake Ridge. All are completely thrilled to meet their new family member!
A child's delight! Penny now wants to play with HER new playmate!
Penny says "Hey...I like these kids!!! Can I get a hug???"
A visual inspection on every puppy is required before they leave our premises when being personally picked up.
We ask each and every customer to check over the entire puppy....from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail.
Every customer signs their visual inspection worksheet!
This is a requirement so that everyone is on the same sheet of "Puppy" music.
Penny is enjoying chasing her new mommy and wants to play!
We thank the Masdon family for making Penny a part of their family. Keep in touch!!!!!!!!!
<<<< TODAY, 3-11-06, "Clifford" leaves for his new home!
Clifford was the last male available from Angel and Darby's litter born on 7-8-05. Clifford was a little reluctant to leave us, we know that the Wilson family will shower him with the same love and attention he has known with us and that he will soon accept his new family as his own.
Clifford gets a treat from his new playmate!>>>>>
We Thank the Wilson family for making Clifford a part of their family! We sure will miss him!
Keep in touch, Amy and make sure to keep us updated with photos!
He has a special place in my heart!!!!!!
Date: Mon 03/13/06 06:31 AM .........We received the following email from Sherrie who picked up the only dark apricot female in Jayda and Pierre's litter on Sat; 3-11-06:
"Hi Dee,
Just wanted to give you a quick update on Penny. It is hard to believe how well she has settled into our family in just 2 short days. She loves the children and they love her. She is so smart. She has already learned to "sit" and will even listen to the kids! I will send photos soon.
Take care,
Sherrie"
*Dear Sherrie,
It doesn't surprise us in the least that Penny has settled in so nicely with your family and has already learned commands in such a short amouht of time! Many people don't believe the information we put on our site about how great our Goldendoodles are, how fast they are to train and how smart they are....until they take one home with them, that is! Unfortunately, the naysayers over the internet tend to make some people Skeptical.........but we are glad when our customers keep in contact to prove those naysayers to be "incorrect".
Today, March 17, 2006 we received this awesome card by our lovely "SHIRLEY".....a Lake Ridge Goldendoodle.
Eleanor sent us a very lovely card and this VERY cool photo!
"I don't know how you got this great card, Eleanor...but I simply love it!!! It's wayyyy too cool!" Thanks so much for continuing to send us photos of Shirley...
She's an awesome Goldendoodle photographer!hahah
SEE...I TOLD YOU OUR GOLDENDOODLES WERE INCREDIBLY SMART!!!!!!!! Hugs, Shirley and Eleanor!

Subject: Penny Update
Date: Thu 03/23/06 05:58 AM
Dear Dee,
I just wanted to update you on our sweet Penny! Here are some photos, the boys just adore her. She is the sweetest thing. She loves to snuggle and is a great lap-warmer. She is working hard on potty training and will sleep all night in her kennel from about 11pm - 6 am without crying. She is so smart. At 8 1/2 weeks we have taught her come, sit, shake and yesterday she learned "speak"! I cannot get over how smart she is. No shedding!!!!! It is amazing. We took her to the vet - and she weighed 9.75 pounds (she is a good eater). We had a little earwax - so we have started her on some ear cleaner. Other than a few puppy-nipping issues... it has been MUCH easier than I had thought. The fence will be finished March 31st... but we don't even need it. She stays right with us and will follow us around the yard tirelessly. We have taught her not to go in the road. Luckily, we live on a cul-de-sac with little or no traffic. It is great for little boys and puppies!!
Take care... more updates to follow!!! Please share this with anyone interested in her littermates - she is great puppy!
Dear Sherrie...Thank you so much for sending these lovely photos of Penny and for keeping in touch! We appreciate very much our doodle families sending us their comments and photos! Give Penny a hug for us!

We thank you both very much for sending us a customer who will be getting a Goldendoodle out of SUGAR'S litter. We look forward in seeing updated photos of Sophie! Alot of people inquiring about Goldendoodles tell us how pretty she is. If you ask me...ALL OF OUR GOLDENDOODLES ARE SUPERB AND GORGEOUS! I am not surprised to know that Sophie knows so many tricks! Our doodles are keen at picking up new things and very talented and smart! WE WELCOME YOU AND JAN AS OUR RICHMOND, VIRGINIA AMBASSADORS especially since your area is definitely within driving distance from us! Keep up the good work.

Meet Goldendoodle Worlds doodle families of 2006
More email sent to us on 4/13/06 from Brody's Owner:
Hi Dee!
Hope you are well. I noticed all of Brody's siblings have been sold. That's wonderful! Brody is doing great. We have a trainer for him and he has been taking puppy socialization classes. You won't believe how big he is.....20 pounds this week. He is still doing great with us and the kids and he is getting better with Cricket. I will send updates pictures very soon! Also, I will be sending you the papers showing that he has been neutered soon...I can't believe how fast puppy hood is going by.
Just wanted to let you know that we are asked where we got him from all of the time. I have one lady who seems very serious. I think you will be getting a call from her in the next few days! I will make sure she tells you I referred her so you'll know that's who it is.
Just wanted to touch base and let you know I might be sending someone your way. Take care and best of luck with your latest litter!
