We wanted to post the below so our new puppy owners are careful with their new Australian Labradoodle puppies and water. This was not a Manor Lake puppy that drowned, but we thought this information from another breeder was important to share and very sad.

“One of our puppies that went home last weekend drowned today in her families pool. This is the phone call you never want to get. We are all devastated. Please educate your puppy owners to the risk of water and pools. If the family has a pool, they should teach the puppy how to swim and how to find the steps to get out. I am modifying my puppy instruction sheet to spell this out for new puppy owners. Hopefully this information will help someone and you’ll never have to go through this. We handed this family a precious 8 week old puppy on Saturday and today she’s gone.“
