Manor Lake Australian Labradoodles Discover Water Rover in California

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Mollie and Jillian 1.jpg

In September 2009 I had the chance to attend the annual Doodle Romp in Malibu, California. It was so much fun meeting all the doodles and doodle owners that were there. At the romp there were different vendors of products, a dog bakery and even a photographer- one of the products that really caught my eye was the Water Rover.

water_rover

It’s this great portable water bottle for your Australian Labradoodle that you just hook to your belt and carry around. I found it very handy and learned that many of the people at the romp already had been using them, everyone had nothing but great things to say about how useful it was! Of course I had to buy one for myself, for Kim and for our Manor Lake Australian Labradoodles Staff- we have all been using them since!

We have enjoyed this product so much that we now carry it in our Manor Lake Dog Boutique for all of our Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle friends and families. If you are interested in learning more about the Water Rover check it out in our Boutique, www.manorlakedogboutique.com. -Mollie

Is a Grain Free Diet Right for Your Australian Labradoodle? Advice from the Vet: Grain-Free Diets

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Certainly something to consider.

Dr. Edward Moser, a board certified veterinary nutritionist, weighs in on pet food nutrition.

Considering a grain-free diet for your dog? Wondering what considerations to keep in mind when looking at nutrition profiles? Dr. Moser lends his insights.

With so much focus these days on the benefits of the grain-free recipe, it seems increasingly likely that a key consideration is being overlooked by some makers of natural foods.

Providing a diet that is free of grains and rich in meat and other protein sources is all well and good, but other nutritional elements must also be taken into consideration or the resulting diet could ultimately prove harmful to pets.

Creating a truly healthful, beneficial pet food is a real balancing act. Choosing the right ingredients is a great start, but a nutritious recipe is all about balance. For instance, it’s critical for pet parents to be aware that the addition of more meat ingredients to a formula naturally increases not just the protein content, but also the fat, calcium, phosphorus and calorie levels. In particular, integrating too much fat into a recipe can cause the kind of weight-management headaches already confronting too many owners of adult dogs. Fat content can be contained by using leaner sources of animal protein, a measure not every manufacturer is willing to take.

Also keep in mind, some brands may elevate a particular benefit of a diet at the expense of other aspects of a pet’s health. Nutritional balance is always the key in promoting an animal’s overall health and improving her life.

Dr. Edward Moser holds diplomate status with the American College of Veterinary Nutrition, and advanced degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (where he is an adjunct assistant professor Veterinary Nutrition) and The Ohio State University.

Elle Macpherson’s Labradoodle is the Face of New Fashion Brand

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Labradoodles in the news – fun article! 

The Dog’s Body – Elle Macpherson’s Labradoodle is the Face of  a New Fashion Brand for Canines
First it was the ‘handbag dog’ trend sparked by the likes of socialite Paris Hilton whose canine chum became her ultimate accessory.
Now, one celebrity’s designer dog has been signed up to promote a new high-fashion label – for dogs.

Bella, a five-year-old labradoodle belonging to millionaire businesswoman and former model Elle Macpherson, is to star in a national advertising campaign as the face of Dogside.com, a dog fashion brand.

Bella MacphersonBella, the labradoodle owned by former supermodel Elle Macpherson, is the star of an advertising campaign to promote a new high-fashion label for dogs

Macpherson, 46, who has her own lingerie and cosmetics ranges, has often been photographed out walking Bella near her Notting Hill home.

As Macpherson was known as The Body during her modelling days, Bella is, inevitably, being promoted as The Dog’s Body.

Elle MacphersonBranching out: Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson

The brand boasts that Bella is ideal for showing off its leads, coats, scarves and bowls, for ‘today’s stylish urban dog’.

According to Dogside, Macpherson was apparently so keen on the idea of Bella finding fame in her own right that when they approached her, along with a number of other celebrity dog owners, she was the first to agree, ringing up in person to do so.

Macpherson is also, however, said to be receiving a substantial five-figure sum for her dog’s time.

Celebrities owning labradoodles – a specially bred cross between a labrador retriever and a poodle that can cost more than £1,000 for a puppy – also include Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond and television presenter Graham Norton.

But Beverley Cuddy, editor of Dogs Today magazine, raised concerns about the move: ‘When Paris Hilton took her chihuahua everywhere, there was a rush in sales of handbag dogs.

‘Adopting a celebrity’s hairstyle as they chop and change is fine but acquiring a dog for fashion to mirror a celebrity idol is disastrous. Lots of people chuck these dogs out after a few months.

‘This also sounds like a lot of money for a dog that does not have any specific skills. Just like people who want to put their child on the stage, people may see this and imagine their dog can be a bit of an earner for them.

‘But there is not much available modelling work out there.’

A spokeswoman for Macpherson refused to comment.

Martha Stewart’s Pet Project

A Q+A with Martha plus her DIY dog tag instructions

By Rose Froesek | Photography by Anders Krusberg / The Martha Stewart Show and Johnny Miller

Our favourite doyenne of domesticity, the queen of craft, Martha Stewart, is not only known for her impeccable taste but also for her love of French Bulldogs, in particular, her two Frenchies, Francesca and Sharkey. To dog lovers who watch The Martha Stewart Show, the pair are recognizable stars in their own right, frequently appearing on her show to taste test dog biscuits and give their paws-up approval for dog themed projects. Now, with the introduction of Martha Stewart’s new pet-keeping website, marthastewart.com/pets, we dog people finally have one-stop access to Martha’s wonderful pet projects, as well as a place to check out the musings of Francesca and Sharkey, written in their very own blog, The Daily Wag. Step-by-step instructions for over 30 projects are already posted on the site and a new craft will be introduced monthly. There are also pet-related videos from The Martha Stewart Show, hundreds of articles pulled from Martha Stewart Living, pet quizzes, advice, and photo contests for pets wearing holiday-related costumes. With Martha’s love for pets apparent in this venture, we asked her a few questions about her own menagerie.

5 Questions for Martha Stewart
Q: Did you have pets growing up?

A: Yes, but only a couple. We had a dog named Shiner for a few months but my mother could not cope with six children and a dog. We also had a pet crow. I think that’s why I have so many pets now!

Q: How many pets do you have now?

A: I share my home with two dogs, five cats, and 25 red canaries. That’s not to overlook my three donkeys, five horses, and more than 100 chickens.

Q: How long have you had your two dogs? Were they adopted or rescued?

A: Francesca and Sharkey are four years old. They came from JustUs Frenchies in Maryland. Some of my cats have been purchased, some adopted. Four of my horses have been purchased and one is adopted.

Q: Do you subscribe to a particular training method?

A: I treat my dogs like little children—I talk to them, reprimand them gently, and spoil them. They want to please, which makes training very easy.

Q: What activities do you like to do with your dogs?

A: I often go for long walks with Francesca and Sharkey. They are very active dogs who enjoy outdoor activities as much as I do. They also like to run after the horses and the four-wheeler. They are constantly with me and they especially like to visit town, go window shopping, watch movies, and drive in the car.
