PRINCESS BELLA

Hi Katrina
We wanted to let you know how Princess BELLA is going!!!! She captured our hearts from the day we met her and nothing has changed she is absolutely adorable!!! Everyone she meets says how gorgeous she is. She has such a beautiful nature. She was a hit at the boys school, one day we had about 20 kids around the car saying how cute she is and princess bella was lapping it up!!!She is such a good girl and is growing beautifully as you can see. She has now had all her injections and never cried once, the vet was very impressed. She loves playing with boys, she adores them and vice versa, they can't seem to leave her alone. She completed her puppy pre school before christmas and although she did not finish top of her class she had an absolute ball with the other pups!!! I have sent you a couple of photos of her one with her favourite Christmas reindeer and one of her in her favourite sleeping position!!!! We want to say thank you Katrina for the beautiful new addition to our family. She has fitted in perfectly and you can rest assured that she is being smothered with love and treated just as a princess should be!!!
Thanks again
Paul, Steph, Lachlan and Mitchell

Hi katrina,

Here's gorgeous Ollie at 14 weeks-ish (in dire need of a hair cut - 1st one's booked for Monday). Getting bigger by the second and breaking hearts all over town. He's learnt several commands and loves a big game of fetch at the park with his favourite red ball.we still can't believe how quickly he learns things. He learnt 'fetch' and 'give' in a couple of days. He's still biting during play a bit but we're patient with him and know he'll grow out of that soon.
He's such a joy, and we're just so in love with him we have to remind ourselves who's boss sometimes. Thanks again for bringing him into our lives.

All the best
Krystal & Chad

Dexter graduates from puppy school.

Hi Katrina,
I hope you had a good Christmas. We thought we would give you an update on how Dexter is going. He is growing so fast and is such a sociable and playful pup. He has a great temperament and loves going to puppy school and to the dog park to socialise. He thinks he's auditioning to be the next Kleenex dog running off with the toilet paper ,whilst being naughty he is still extremely cute. We still have a few toilet house training accidents but we hope he will grow out of that soon.

We would like to get him a brother or sister we were looking for later in the year, however we have noticed that you have a boy from Calico and Shiloh that is listed as available on your website. If the pup is still available we would love to get a companion for Dexter.

Take Care
Amanda and Stuart

Miss Bonnie

Miss Bonnie has made herself right at home now. She is a joy to have in the family, such a happy and playful little girl. I took her to the vet today for her vaccination and he said she is developing well. (She is now 5.32kgs). Her first training session went well. It was really just an assessment. - A chance for the trainer to meet Bonnie and assess her training needs. Her first lesson is socialisation. Meeting lots of different types of people and learning confidence and trust. So far, she is doing really well and showing lots of intelligence. She is fully toilet trained now. She will obey commands such as "sit" "come" and "fetch". The trainer will return after Christmas to take us to the next step in her training. She and my son have a beautiful bond. She follows him everywhere and they are becoming great friends. I have attached some photos for you. They aren't great quality as they were taken on my phone.

Regards,
Claire

Oscar the mischievious puppy

Hi Katrina,

I just wanted to let you know that Oscar has been doing really well. He's an absolute ball of energy. He received his 12 week shots today and didn't even cry - he is a very tough pup. The vet kept saying 'He is a winner.. I could pinch him any time!'. He noted that he has a very sociable nature so we wanted to thank you for giving him such a great start at Burrinjuck. Oscar is a very smart pup - it took him almost no time to learn to sit, come and shake hands. He can be the smartest little pup, but also a dopey clown - we all have a laugh when he gets his head lodged in a moccasin or bucket, or when he bites onto the rope tied around the lemon tree and dangles there above the ground.

I hope you and your family have a brilliant Christmas and New Year.

CHUCK CASTS A SPELL

Hi Katrina, Hamish, Briellen and Felicity,

Wishing all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
Chuck has put us all under his spell. Much to Shane’s disgust he still sleeps in Kelli’s room. He likes to nick off with Shane’s undies and he is cheeky to the cat. He loves Kelli (which is good ) and cries when she is not around ( which is not good). Lots of people have fallen in love with him and we have handed out your website address to heaps of people. I think Labradoodles are about to get heaps more popular.
Anyway, once again have a great Christmas. Hope to get to see you. Call in if you have time, we may be able to go your way too.

Lots of love and licks
Jackie, Shane, Maddy, Kelli, Caitlyn, Oscar, Grizabella, Ralph and Chuck

DUGALD

Hi Katrina

Thought that an update on Dugald's progess is well over due. I had a noisy trip almost to Geelong. He very much let me know he wasn't happy, but then just as we approached Geelong he settled down and hardly made a noise for the rest of the trip. He got me up a couple of times the first night, but has slept through every night since. He loves his tucker and really has a bit of "go" in him !!! He certainly serves it up to Rupert, and isn't frightened by the other dogs at the Park each evening. Rupert takes it all in his stride, but has on the odd occasion given Dugald a "woof" and a "mouthing" to let him know that he's reached the boundary. He's won a few hearts at the Park amongst the other owners. Being the second dog on the block has advantages. He took to the correction collar and lead staight away, and is reasonably happy to trot alongside Rupert. He's already learned to "sit" and "stay" ( for about 5 seconds ). Rupert wasn't too sure of what was going on initially, but now seems to have accepted Dugald, and the two have lots of full on playing sessions together, and are often curled up together. I'm sure that you've missed the two litters of puppies but would be glad to get your life back again and to be able to give your own dogs the attention they all need. Thanks again for another wonderful puppy Katrina. I've attached a few photos - they're not portrait shots but will give you a bit of an idea of Rupert and Dugald's life together. Regards Ken

MILLY

Milly was born 10/4/09 and features on your homepage in the handbag. Uou guys sent her to Paraburdoo in the northwest of WA, we have since moved to the southwest of WA and Milly has 5 acres to play in, we regularly look at your site to see any new pups and thought it was about time we dropped a line. Milly has become a well loved member of the family and goes everywhere with us, we live about 5 kms out of town and she particularly likes the ride in to take the boys to school. We have a few bad habits that she is working on, but we expect to have these sorted out soon ha ha. Regards

BRIAN THE LOUNGE LIZARD

Hi Katrina

Just sitting on the lounge with Brian the lounge lizard! He has settled in fabulously and loves his comforts (as you can see)! He also loves all the attention showered on him by our girls - he has more attention than he knows what to do with!

He's a lovely puppy - thanks so much.

Kind Regards

COOPER'S FIRST WEEK

Hi Katrina, What a wonderful first week we have had. Cooper is an absolute treasure and we are loving every second. He is such a clever little boy. He already sits on command and is pretty much toilet trained. He loves to play with anything and everything. He is rather obsessed with leaves and loves bringing them in to the house. Thank you so much for bringing such a gorgeous little bundle in to our lives. He greeted us with a kiss and cuddle as soon as we met him and became an instant part of our family. We love him enormously.

Thanks again.

She has completed three of her four puppy classes and is doing very well, she is very easy to train.Bella is now enjoying all the running around and pulls her into line if she gets too bitey, they are a joy to watch. She even has her own silver name tag,my neighbor is a silversmith and it was a welcome gift to her. As you can see one much loved slightly spoilt and very happy puppy !

Many Thanks

HAMISH IS ONE YEAR

Hi Katrina, How are you? Hope you and you family are well. I thought I'd send you a photo of Hamish. I have been meaning to send you photos for ages. I cant believe he is nearly one. He has grown so much and is such a beautiful dog. He has a great personality and is so spoilt. Charlie is going really well as well and they have a play nearly every weekend and get into a lot of mischief when they are together. Are you planning on having any more pups this year? We were thinking of maybe getting Hamish a friend.
