private schools listed below love our puppies, they have auctioned
off a few of our puppies at their school fund raisers. At the St Isidore
school, one of
our puppies sold for $19,000 at one of their school fund raisers.
How did they know about us, because quite a

they highly recommended us for having very healthy, very well
mannered and very gorgeous puppies!!!

Hi
Lisa,
Here are a couple of
pic's of Izzy that
were taken on her 5
month birthday, she
is 20 pounds, there
is a before grooming
pic and a after
grooming. We LOVE
her so much, she is
the best puppy! We
get stopped on our
nightly walks by
people that want to
meet her and feel
how soft she is,
which she absolutely
loves. She started
puppy training last
week and is timid
around the other
puppies, she either
turns and runs or
plays dead, but she
is very eager to
meet all the other
parents. Izzy is
super smart, very
eager and easy to
train :) She was
potty trained within
a month of being
home and either
barks or rings bells
to go outside. Her
favorite things to
do are go for walks,
ride in the car,
take a bath (she
climbs in the shower
if I don't close the
door fast enough),
play chase with her
Frisbee and sleep in
our bed. It is as if
she has always been
a part of our little
family of 3!
Just wanted to let
you know how much we
enjoy her and show
you some pictures.
Thanks for our
wonderful girl!!!!

In
August of 2002, I was looking for a Golden Retriever puppy when a
good friend of mine referred me to your kennel. She had done some
extensive research on breeders and had purchased one of your puppies
after losing her previous Golden Retriever to cancer. Lisa was kind
enough to offer me a male puppy from the current litter that she had
for sale that she had considered keeping for herself. I was going
through a serious illness at the time and had lost my 6 year old
Golden Retriever suddenly to heart failure. We have had "Max" now
for over three years. He is a GREAT dog - very healthy, great
personality, and very good looking! I would highly recommend your
kennel to anyone who is looking for a Golden Retriever puppy.
Sincerely, Vicki Czapla


Hello Lisa,
How are you? Not sure if you remember us. We purchased Willow from
you. His dad is Dexter. I just wanted to send you some updated pics
of Willow. He was born on August 2nd and he is the best dog ever! We
are going to be inquiring for another puppy soon. How is Dexter? Is
he still studding?
Vanessa Cheung


Lisa,
Imagine my surprise when I logged on your web site and saw two
familiar faces looking at me. What CUTE dogs. To give you an
update, Murphy got one leg in NADAC Jumpers (Novice) a year ago,
but because of health reasons (human) we dropped out of agility
for a while. I hope to get another leg on him soon but then go
back to obedience. He has grown into an excellent dog with a
great disposition. He is still mostly immature and very playful
but whenever I do any training work with him he is wonderful;
pure golden, with showmanship and a desire to please. He has
been as high as 92 lbs, but now we keep him thin, 82 pounds, (he
is a big boy. We give them both lots of exercise with daily
walks and weekly hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains. They also
get groomed every one to two days. As for Molly, aka Pebbles,
she did really well in obedience practice but hated showing, so,
we don't do that any more. She is a wonderful pet, very gentle
with children and adults alike, and a happy member of the
family. When we got her she weighed 79 pounds. She ballooned up
to 96 in six months (the picture you have up is of Molly at 94
lbs) but for the last year and a half she has been about 76
pounds and looks great. Her coat is so dense that she gets very
hot; I gave her a puppy cut this summer, but her coat is growing
back beautifully. They are both terrific company and our lives
revolve completely around them. They send woofs and wags,

Dear Lisa, As you
know I acquired a beautiful male Golden Retriever puppy from you
on September 16, 2004. I named him Cosmo and he is everything
and more a Golden Retriever could be. He is my first puppy in
about 20 years. Prior to Cosmo I adopted adult Golden
rescue�s. My first was a female, the
second a male. Both were 5 years old at the time of adoption.
When my male passed away suddenly of cancer in July 2004 I did
not believe it was possible to find a dog as wonderful as he
was. Cosmo is the love of my life. At sixteen weeks, when I
brought him home he was immediately house broken. I have never
crated him, and he has not ever chewed destructively on anything
in the house. He loves everything and everybody. He adores
children, even though I have none in my home. He loves to please
and is so easy to train. While he is protective of his home, and
alert to strangers, he only barks appropriately. I was prepared
for a year of difficult puppy hood, but he has never given me a
second of trouble! I wish I had room for another one, I would
love to get a female puppy for Cosmo, he
loves other dogs.Cosmo is the perfect companion! He is so
stunningly gorgeous people always stop us to find out why a
Golden Retriever is pure white and such a coat, thick and
beautiful. My vet loves him, the groomer loves him,
he is very popular! Thank you for
creating such a special dog, he could easily be a therapy dog
and I have considered this option.

Lisa,
The pups are wonderful. I will attach a picture taken last
week at the top of the stairs before they were big enough to
come down by themselves. Those days are over and now they
chase up and down just for fun. They are a beautifully mated
pair and truly devoted to each other: always licking,
wrestling and snuggling. Now I know the definition of puppy
love. They are growing so fast you can watch them grow. Rio
is more than twice as big as Aspen. They are both beautiful
and delightful. She is the most outgoing and pretty much
makes the rules. He is more happy go lucky, like a big
surfer. The potty training is better this week. They both
made it outside in time all day today and have learned to go
to the door and ask to go out. They are always perfectly
content in their crate if they are together, although we
only put them in the crate for the night or if we are both
leaving the house for awhile. They go to the vet on Friday
for the next series of puppy shots. I am sure they will grow
into bright, sensitive companions as well as gorgeous adult
dogs. I do need all the info about their parents. Like a
silly grandmother I am starting a baby book. I will keep in
touch as they progress, and thanks for breeding them. We are
so pleased.
Stefany Sanders

Lisa-
Molly is still under 20 lbs. We LOVE her and goes
everywhere with us. I have not gotten her fixed yet. She
is so perfect, that I was wondering if we could breed
her with another mini. Would you consider playing match
maker?

To Whom It May Concern:
October 1, 2005 is a day that changed we will never
forget: it is the day that we picked up dog from
your kennel.
In the 2 months that we have owned our goldendoodle,
Hector, he has brought nothing but joy to our home.
He is handsome, extremely responsive to training,
healthy and lovable. While he enjoys playing with
other dogs of all ages and sizes, he is happiest
when around other people. His gentleness and obvious
affection to every human he meets makes him, in our
opinion, a perfect pet.
In selecting your kennel to buy our goldendoodle, we
had done a significant amount of research on both
the breed and the breeder. Upon arriving at your
house, we were not disappointed, we found a
beautiful well-kept home, with a lawn and kennel
area that would bring sheer joy to any dog. The
facilities were extremely clean and sanitary and the
puppies all looked and felt very healthy. We were
able to meet Hector's mother and father, and, while
we reserved a male puppy, we were also able to
ensure that we like his look and temperament before
making our purchase.
Lisa and Fred the owners, were extremely polite and
professional; however, what made us happiest, was
their obvious love for the dogs which they raise.
If you are reading this letter because you are
considering purchasing a dog from them, we can
proudly and sincerely assure you that you are going
to come home one day soon with a wonderful dog.
Please feel free to contact us via Lisa should you
have any questions.

Lisa,
We bought Kepler from you in 2002.
You sent him to us in Colorado Springs. He came from the
litter of Ruger and Jersey and as you can see he has a lot
of both parents in him. He's been with us for three years
now, and he has been a wonderful addition to our family. I
recently sent your website to a friend who asked where we
got Kepler. As I was on your site, I thought you might be
interested to see a few pictures of Kepler now I'm sure you
wonder how all the puppies are doing as they go to their new
homes. Here he is on a hike with my wife and I in the
mountains this summer. My parents (Bill and Brigette), who
are technically his owner, weren't with us that day. Kepler
has been such a wonderful dog--we are all very pleased with
him. We hope you enjoy these photos. And please feel free to
contact us if you'd like to.
Best,
Steve Ruskin

Lisa -

Thanks for 2
wonderful dogs!

Hi there,
Just wanted to pass along this photo of Austin. This was

such a sweat heart!!?
He's a great dog!!

Hi
Lisa,
Here are some pictures

puppy classes. I don't have any adult show pics yet. We
will be showing at Palm Springs in Jan. I will send more
pics from that show.
Thanks,

Hi Lisa,
Just wanted to tell you what a joy my goldendoodle is.
Here's a link to her web page on the goldendoodle site
so you can see how she is doing. Feel free to use any of
those pictures.

Dear Lisa,
On July 12, 2003 our beloved Golden Retriever Samantha
passed away. We had her for ten years. It was
devastating to our family especially for our two four
year old daughters. We began searching for a high
quality breeder and decided on your kennel. Our family
was living between Atlanta, Georgia and Naples, Florida
at the time. Your kennel was very popular, and the next
litter that was expected had already been spoken for.
Deposits were made in advance to reserve a puppy. We
would have to wait for the next litter. So Lisa made
some calls and one of her clients was willing to give me
her place in line and wait for the next litter. I
couldn't believe she would go to so much trouble for our
family! We picked the largest female from the litter and
on September 15, 2003 she was flown into Naples, Florida
in perfect condition. As we walked out of the airport
people stopped us and asked where we got her. She was
this cream colored ball of fur with the cutest pink
tongue. We call her Sophie Faith. Sophie is laid back,
gentle with the kindest expressions. Her color and
markings are Impeccable. I have never owned a dog that
has gotten so much attention. She is a loving and happy
pet for our daughters. Lisa also sent along great
information on how to care for this breed. Our vet said
she was in great condition, healthy, and beautiful.
Thank you for all you have done for our family. In the
future we intend on getting a male from you and calling
him Elijah. Best to you and keep on BREEDING!
Rebecca and Gary Link

I just wanted to share a few pictures with you, I
picked up Bode from you in August. He is doing
great, growing like crazy, over 50lbs at 6 1/2
months. Has a wonderful personality and is a star in
his training class. I love him to death.
Happy Holidays, Pat Krogmann ( & Bode...woof!)




Hi!
I don't know if you remember us. We bought a Golden
Retriever puppy from you six years ago. In fact,
this is our puppies 6th birthday today. She was born
on February 27, 2000. Her name is Jenna and we love
her so much. Thank you for this wonderful addition
to our family. She is such a loving and gentle dog.
Her first two years were a bit difficult for us,
adjusting to having a dog and she went through some
rough chewing and destroying events...but having all
survived that... She is such a joy now, you would
never know that she was a psycho pup. Do you ever
hear from her other brothers or sisters? We are
always told, "Jenna is the most beautiful golden
I've ever seen." And the kennel where we board her
when we go on vacation says that she is the best
natured dog; they all love her.
On this momentous occasion of her 6th birthday, we
wish you all blessings and a big thank you for our
daughter, Jenna!
Regards, Janice, John, and Bobby Safoyan
Photos of Jenna attached to this email

I just wanted to write you and let you know
how Nala is doing. She is the most amazing
dog. Everyone that comes in contact with her
can't believe how smart she is. She has
brought so much joy into our lives. I want
to thank you so much for breeding such a
wonderful pet. We cannot imagine life
without her.
As you know, she had a slight heart murmur
when I purchased her from you and since
November 2005, she has been given a clean
bill of health. She has been checked by the
vet twice since we bought her and we're so
happy that she is healthy and happy. I thank
you so much for informing me upfront about
her heart murmur and not covering it up. I
could not be more happier with Nala.
I have a neighbor with a Goldendoodle and
her dog is not nearly as smart as my dog.
They are inquiring about another
Goldendoodle and I have given them your
website. It is nice to know that there are
breeders out there like you who produce
quality dogs. You explained so much to me
and I am going to purchase another puppy
later this year from you for my 40th
birthday. I will send you pictures as Nala
is growing up. Lisa, thanks again for being
so great.
Michelle Sample
Hi,
We bought a male golden retriever from
you about a year ago. Just wanted to let
you know he is one great dog. We had a
problem with a previous Golden that we
purchased else where. Buster is a great
dog.
Thanks,
Matt Simpson
I will upload some pictures and send
them soon.
Hi Lisa,
I got my puppy from you last month.
I got the big male pup from your
9-8-05 litter. I live here in CA in
Modesto. His name is Tanner and he
is really great! He took to the dog
door the first night we got home and
my husband has basically adopted him
as his dog. He no longer sleeps in
his crate at night and so far so
good (maybe I shouldn't have said
that yet) He sleeps in our room with
us and the other 2 dogs. Next month
we start Private Lessons with the
Trainer. He's very smart and knows
to sit when he gets a treat and will
go on a down command already and to
say the least he's full of energy
and runs through the family room
around and around a few times then
he stops. Everyone just loves him.
The people at the Vets are crazy
about him and treat him like a baby
when he's there for his weekly bath.
By the way, he weighed 23.7 lbs.
last week and they didn't say what
he weighed last Friday but he
usually has gained 5 lbs. per week.
He's BIG!! Happy Holidays to you and
the Family.
Marilyn
Our puppy Finnegan that we got
from you last spring is SOOOOOOO
wonderful. Except that I get
followed by people who want to
know all about him. Can't walk
half a block without getting
stopped.
He was the really big one. He is
huge and still growing.
My question for you is, will you
have any puppies avail. for
early Feb.? My daughter's school
is having a fund raiser and
wants to auction off one of your
puppies, if available. Please
let me know. Thanks so much,
Margaret Moore




Sirius (your golden) is
wonderful. She is 18 months old
now. She has passed her good
citizenship test and temperament
test and has entered the
training program to be a pet
therapy dog. We go for classes
for 8 weeks. She is a love, and
she is so beautiful.
The yellow dog is my new
puppy. He is a yellow lab
(not the best specimen lol)
and he is huge. He already
weighs as much as the
golden. Here are recent pics
of sirius.
2 of my maltese are now
living with a new family as
they weren't able to adjust
to living in the country, we
moved out east and the big
dogs love it.

HELLO, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY
WON'T REMEMBER ME BUT, WE
GOT A PUPPY FROM YOUR LITTER
OF PUPPIES FROM 1/1/05. AND
MY NAME IS LORRAINE PLOURDE.
ANYWAY REMEMBER MY FAMILY
AND I GOT THE LAST PUPPY
FROM THAT BATCH. REMEMBER I
WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE
COLOR. I WASN'T SURE IF IT
WOULD BE DARK ENOUGH OR NOT.
WELL ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED
TO TELL YOU THAT THE DOG WE
GOT THAT DAY IS THE BEST,
CUTEST DOG EVER!! WE REALLY
LOVE HIM AND HE TURNED OUT
TO BE SOOO SWEET!! I JUST
WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT. HE
HAS A VERY HAPPY HOME AND HE
IS VERY HAPPY. TALK TO YOU
LATER. LORRAINE PLOURDE

Hi... this is Pat
Driver. I bought Dylan
from you not quite two
years ago. I'm know
interested in a female.
If you have any
available could you
please sent pictures and
cost to me so I can pick
one. By the way I would
have a million Dylans if
I could he was born to
please and is just a
huge piece of velcro. I
LOVE HIM MORE THAN I
COULD EVER VERBALIZE.
All I can say is I love
Dylan more than words
can say...I And I am
convinced that a lot of
what I love in Dylan is
in the breeding. His
personality, if you ever
wanted a dog that is
your real best friend,
wants to be with you and
loves you. Listens
almost from day one to
commands like come, and
sit. He is born to
please and I couldn't be
happier. All my next
dogs will come from you.
My Dylan is what I
always wanted in a dog
and more.
P.S.
I don't know if you watch
the dog shows but if you
watched Westminster and saw
the best five in the show
one was a golden. Boomer son
.....my Dylan was all that
dog was in the body and
nicer looking in the face.
What a dog I got from you
guys :)

He is such a beautiful dog.
I'm not kidding when I say
that I'm
constantly stopped when I'm
out with him. Everyone wants
to know what kind of dog he
is, where I got him etc...
And his temperment...so
great. He gets a little
crazy with the kids, but for
the most part he's so
gentle. He absolutely LOVES
me. And since I'm newly
single, it's nice to have a
guy really into me. (Even if
he's furry).
Thanks again for everything.
As I mentioned in my last
email, I've given your
kennel name out to dozens of
people. I hope they come to
you when they're looking for
a pup.

We brought home one of
your goldendoodles in
June (Taz). We are
thrilled with him! We
had originally given you
a deposit for a female
to, but had decided just
to take the male at the
time. We would like to
purchase a female from
you next July. I know
that is a long way off,
but I just wanted to let
you know, not knowing
what kind of lead time
you're dealing with now.
Let me know when I
should check back in
with you! Thanks!
We love our "big boy"! He
now weights 85lbs, but is
very lean. Has huge paws!
Always has had, even as a
little puppy. I gave Brewski
the "shed test" the other
day. That's when you brush
the dog good, then the next
day wet your hand, flick off
the excess, pet the dog head
to tail three times and
count the hairs on your
hand. Brewski had 3, so that
falls into the "no shed"
grouping. I saw it on a web
site so am responding to
their survey with my
results. I'm happy to give a
reference. Would like to
hook up with his brother
though, to see if he got as
big as my dog. We have only
trimmed his face and paws a
little (so he can see!), but
other than that, no
clipping. We may take him to
the Romp in Bakersfield in
April. I'll get back to you
with a couple pictures. Ken
Hartman




I've been referring you
to, at least, 2 dozen
people so far who wants
to get a goldendoodle
like mine. You can use
me as a reference
anytime. So what are we
doing about getting a
male puppy for my
brother? I need to fly
him eventually or
directly to Italy. Do
you have any like the
one I got?
Thanks, Patrizia



Hi.
I just want to drop you
a quick note to tell you
how much I adore Reggie.
He is so cute and
playful. He is tall,
long and lean. He weighs
in at about 50 lbs. He
is the center of
attention where ever we
go. Thank you for such a
great dog. I'll email
photos soon.
Julie Lopez

I hope that you are
doing well. I was
wondering if you
have any puppy
litters available?
Matt and I are
considering getting
a female pup. We'd
like to have a
playmate for Murphy
and we're thinking
about adopting a
golden or
goldendoodle. Please
let us know if you
have any litters,
who the parents are,
and when they are
available.
I've attached
picture of Murphy
and his little
brother Will. He's
been so wonderful
with Will. Although,
he does like to
steal Will's
pacifier and socks
;-)
Thanks - Heather

You could not
have picked a
better puppy for
us - we
absolutely LOVE
him ! What a
great
disposition he
has - and
adorable too!
Thank you so
very much! He's
going to the vet
on Wednesday for
his first visit.
I'll send you
photos if you'd
like as time
passes.

Hi there,
I have wanted to
drop you a note
for years about
how much we LOVE
our golden boy
Jackson. We
"adopted" him
from you as a
puppy in August
1998...he was
born on June 6
and will be 8
this June. He
has such a
wonderful
personality and
he is so
gorgeous...people
ask us about his
breeder all of
the time. Now
that I have been
to your website,
I see other dogs
that look so
much like him. I
have attached a
photo of him
taken in our
yard in
Ojai...he was
snooping around
the Plumbago
plant and has
blue flowers
sticking to him.

Hi Lisa,
Almost 2 years
ago we purchased
a puppy from you
(ruger x kiki.
Sam is a
WONDERFUL dog
and my sister is
interested in
getting a puppy
herself. She
lives in
Michigan and I
was wondering if
you knew of any
one out there
that you could
recommend.
Samwise (the
puppy we got
from you) has
grown to be a
happy, healthy
member of the
family. I want 5
more of him!!
LOL He is a joy
and a constant
companion to our
Autistic son
Anthony. Thanks
for breeding
such great dogs.
Sincerely Debora

Here is the
picture that you
wanted of the 2
dogs that I got
from you. The
puppy, named
Piper, is 8 wks
old in the
picture. My
other dog,
Hailey, is 4
years old.
Hailey really
enjoys the new
puppy and is
happy again. She
was so depressed
after my other
Golden died (16
yrs old). I also
emailed another
picture. I will
try to get some
pictures in the
sun if the dogs
cooperate.
Thanks again,
Debbie Bervel

Dear Lisa,
My husband and I
bought a beautiful
Golden from you four
years ago, Lady
Sydney of Waverly.
Her sire was Duet's
Making Social Waves
and her dam was Song
Bird. She's grown up
into a wonderful dog
both physically and
in personality. We'd
like to get a second
female Golden but we
both agree it must
be another Golden
from you. They're
the best. Do you
have any Golden
litters available or
upcoming? We're
prepared to make an
immediate deposit on
a female. We're
willing to wait if
we can get a Golden
similar to Sydney in
disposition and
build. Color isn't
an issue for us.
Please let me know
if there are any
puppies available.
Many thanks,
Sarah & Dale Oliver
Greetings from a

lover. While
walking our dog
today we crossed
paths with a
stunning Golden.
Our beloved
Golden passed on
at l4 yrs. this
summer. He was
the perfect dog.
We find the
absence of a
Golden in our
household is
hard to live
with and so have
been keeping our
eyes open,
interrogating
all Golden
owners. The
Golden we met
today was just
like our "Buddy"
who passed on.
He impressed us
very much. The
owner gave us
your name.
We're hoping you
can send along
some price
information. We
presently live
in North Bend,
Washington, but
will be moving
to San Diego in
the near future.
The owner we met
said the Golden
came from L.A.
If that were the
case for us, we
would be able to
pick him up. I
forgot to
mention, we
would be looking
for a male. We
spend the
summers in
Montana on our
ranch so the dog
would have a
beautiful life.
We are just the
2 of us and the
dog would always
be at my side,
as Buddy was. We
never send our
dogs to kennels
, but rather
hire live-ins
should we leave
for a weekend or
so.
Forgive me for
rambling on.
Looking forward
to hearing from
you. Thanks.

You may remember
sending Barkley to
us in Williamsburg,
VA last Christmas.
After one year can
only say he is the
best dog we can
imagine....sweet
temperament and
really
smart...everybody in
the neighborhood
knows and likes him.
Attached is a recent
pic..(we've cleaned
up his beard a bit
since)...he was
one of Cream Soda
and Daisy's pups.
Thanks again for
breeding great
dogs...we wouldn't
recommend anyone
else...and have a
great holiday
season!

Happy New Year from
Tara and Benjamin.
We hope all is well
and thank you again
for our wonderful
puppies!


Happy holidays
to you and your
family. Hope
you're all doing
well. Just
wanted you to
know that
Charley passed
the Canine Good
Citizen Test at
11 months. He is
adorable and
amazing. I can't
walk him for
five minutes
without someone
stopping to ask
what kind of dog
he is, where did
I get him etc.
People are
constantly
asking me if
their kids can
pet him and then
thanking us
because he's
such a gentle
giant. A couple
of the women who
work at the Gap
in Tarzana get
upset when I
don't bring him
in. I have given
your name to so
many people but
who knows if
they follow
through. I've
started to look
into therapy dog
programs. Let me
know if you have
any suggestions
By the way, he
is not without a
mischievous
side. For
instance, he
likes to stand
on his hind
legs, put his
front paws on
the kitchen
counter and walk
around to check
for food! He
also knows how
to open doors
and big tin cans
of dog food. I
think you should
warn first time
dog owners about
how smart the
doodles are.
Riley is also
doing great.
He's calmer now
and just as
loving as
Charley. They
are the best of
friends or
should I say the
best of "uncle"
and "nephew."
They're both
wonderful with
my grandson and
he adores them.
I'll send you a
few pictures
once I get them
on my computer.
Take care and
have a healthy,
happy new year.
Warm regards,
Ellen M


Hi Lisa: The
puppies are
doing great!!!
Maya comes to
visit about once
a week and all
hell breaks
loose. They tear
around here and
then it looks as
though Katrina
has hit.
Gretchen did
bring her puppy
to see us last
Friday and they
all played
together! He is
soooooo
different than
Maya and Maisey!
I think he is
like my friends Labradoodle. He
has that tighter
more poodley
hair. Maisey has
kind of cowlicky
hair some lies
flat others
stand straight
up. Maya has
luxurious hair
all standing up
everywhere!
Maisey is
already 18
pounds. She
doubled her
weight in a
month!I will
send pictures
when I get home.
That is where
all my pictures
are stored!
Thanks for
keeping in
touch!

Hi Lisa, How are
you? Here is a
current picture
of our, now, one
year old Mini
Goldendoodle
Bailey. She
weighs about 34
lbs and we love
her to death.
Groomed and
ungroomed.

Here is the picture of Maggie that I promised you.
She is almost 8 months old now and the sweetest thing. She follows me around like a toddler.
We would really like to find her brother that is in the area. Any help you could give us would be great.
Thanks, Angie Sheaves

Every
parent
thinks
her
child is
the
best,
smartest,
cutest,
and most
wonderful;
but when
it comes
to our
mini
goldendoodle,
Riley,
everyone
agrees
that he
is
perfect!
He has
the
friendly,
loving,
devoted
golden
retriever
temperament,
but he's
smaller
and
sheds
less. My
father
is very
allergic
to dogs,
even to
my
brother's
standard
poodle,
but he
has no
allergic
reaction
to
Riley.
Our last
dog was
from a
rescue
organization
and
developed
such a
fondness
for me,
he
didn't
like
anyone
else
receiving
my
attention--even
my
children--so
he bit
them.
They
developed
a well
justified
fear of
dogs. We
needed a
gentle,
docile
dog and
we got a
perfect
one from
Lisa,
thank
you!
