Manor Lake Australian Labradoodles’ Milo

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Here’s a great note we received from our Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle’s family, Michelle and Milo. 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!

Manor Lake at the 10th Annual Doodle Romp in Malibu, California

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Manor Lake was so pleased to be in attendance at the 10th Annual Doodle Romp in Malibu, California this year! 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.

Manor Lake Westie at Starbucks

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Everyone from Manor Lake can enjoy a good cup of Starbucks – even the dogs!

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

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

We are looking for guardian family homes here at Manor Lake. This is an awesome opportunity for you and your family to have an amazing Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle dog or puppy in your home.

Tips for Potty Training your New Puppy

Friday, July 8th, 2011

We all know it can be a bit of a process to fully potty train your new pup, but with patience, praise and positive reinforcment you and your puppy will be well on your way to good potty training. 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!
