Manor Lake’s Jett lives at Rombauer Vineyards in California. We received this wonderful picture of him this week, wishing us a happy holiday! We wanted to share with our friends as we think he looks particularly handsome. Happy holidays!

He’s so handsome! We love getting these, thank you Michelle for the update. Hugs to Milo!
Kim and staff,
I’m excited to give you an update on Milo. He is the most hilarious dog we have ever had. He is the center of attention WHEREVER we go. As I am sure, many others experience the question, “OOOOHHH MY GAAAWWWDDD! What kind of dog is that?” from passing cars, people at pet stores, folks in truckstops (remember we’re truck drivers). It’s so funny how many folks are fascinated by his gorgeous coat and silly demeanor.
He has become quite the communicator. He touches whoever is driving the truck, ever so gently on the leg if he needs to go out. He will stare at you for what seems like an eternity when he wants water. He loves to have the wind rushing through his hair when we leave truckstops or shipper’s and sticks his head out the window. This may not have been a good idea but now we can’t keep him out of the passenger seat when we are going at slow speeds. He loves to snuggle on our pillows and lays on me will all of his weight when he gives me morning kisses.
We have thoroughly enjoyed having him in our family. I wish our truck was bigger because I so want another one. You picked the best dog for us. You were right, he won’t be a guard dog anytime soon but we don’t mind. He is sweet, quiet boy. Of course, if we get him to talking, he loves to communicate with the sweetest “RUFF”. I still trim him myself and have been complimented a handful of times from folks asking, “Who grooms your dog?” His puppy coat is beginning to come out and so we enjoy brushing time where he can relax and have his “mommy” dote over him. He’s almost 10 months old and 47.6 lbs. He’s the perfect size!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and an even more joyous Christmas. Blessings to you and your family!
Michelle and family
P.S. The picture is from a small hike we did in Eastern Utah. He’s so handsome!

Hi Kim,
This is Charlemagne, “Charlie”, son of Leo and Serena, at 6 1/2 months of age. He is wonderful; happy, mellow, funny, playful, athletic, responsive and affectionate. His coat is lovely; soft and non shedding.
Charlie has been a dream to train and is a simply grand companion for all, from kids to my 94 year old mother. He is a magnet for compliments on walks. Everyone loves him! We could not be happier.
We feel so lucky to have our Charlie.
Deb and Loren

Love this picture of Abby in the Starbucks Drive though line – they always give her a dog biscuit and she is waiting patiently.

It was our third year making it and it seems to get bigger and better each time. Kim and Erin flew down to California with our beautiful parti girl, Harmony to join the fun. There were 417 guests and 242 Doodles, so it’s easy to say that this is the largest Doodle Romp in the world. All the same great food, live auction items, pet photographer and entertaining Doodle contests were there again that created such a fun and exciting atmosphere. It was cool to connect with some of our Manor Lake families and dogs and also meet new Doodle lovers! Seeing so many beautiful Doodles of every different color and size is something that Manor Lake looks forward to every year now.

What a joy! We love our puppy! We had a hard time choosing his name but came up with Westie and it fits. We got it because he is from the west coast.
He is feeling right at home!
Thank you,
Jen and Family

This is an awesome opportunity for you and your family to have an amazing Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle dog or puppy in your home.
What is a guardian family home exactly? A Guardian Family Home is a place where one of our Australian Labradoodle dogs or puppies chosen specially for Manor Lake’s breeding program lives as a wonderful family dog. Manor Lake retains all breeding rights for all males and females, and guardian family gets a pet for free. The dog or puppy will live with you and come to Manor Lake only when required testing needs to be done, when it is time to be bred or when she is ready to have her puppies – health testing and any reproductive costs are that of Manor Lakes’.
We select our guardian families very carefully – and our first qualification is to live within a 100 mile radius of Bellingham, WA. We also ask for a $500 deposit that is refundable upon reaching the Canine Good Service (CGC) award which you can learn about in one of our previous blog posts. To see other requirements click here and please contact Manor Lake if you feel you or your family would be a good match!

We have gathered four very essential tips to speed up and enforce potty training with your new puppy. Enjoy!
Patience is very important to hold on to. Every puppy is going to have accidents, just like a new born baby it will take some time for your new puppy to fully understand what an acceptable behavior is.
Be sure to praise good behavior. This part of the potty training process cannot be emphasized enough– if they go potty outside or on a potty pad be sure to praise them immediately. Through positive reinforcement your developing puppy will be able to have a better understanding of what is expected of them.
Do not punish your puppy unless you directly saw them doing something wrong. If your come across an accident your puppy left and you did not see them do it, simply clean it up and bring your puppy outside.
Consistency is our final and equally important potty training tip. Devepop a regular schedule in which you will take your puppy outside to go to the bathroom such as, when theywake up from a nap, after they eat and when you notice them sniffing around.
Happy potty training!
