Manor Lake Seeking Guardian Family Homes

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.

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!

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!

Six Summer Safety Tips for your Australian Labradoodle

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

With the heat this summer its always important to keep puppy practices safe for your pooch. Here are six of the top summer safety tips we have compiled for you and your furry companion to apply to your every summer day behaviors. Enjoy!

One, if you and your canine friend are headed to the beach on a warm day remember to not let your dog run right into the water unless they are familiar with swimming. If your pooch is familiar with swimming be sure to look out for strong tides– they can be dangerous for even the most expert dog paddlers.

Two, we thought this one was a gimme but ALWAYS be sure to have access to fresh water for your pup.

Three, try to avoid strenuous exercise on particularly hot days– it can lead to heat exhaustion.

Four, NEVER leave your furry pal in an unattended parked car. If the temperature outside is 80 degrees Fahrenheit the inside of your car can heat up to about 120 degrees.

Five, pups with short and or light colored hair can easily burn in the sunshine so be sure to apply sunscreen on their ears and nose at least 30 minutes before heading out into the sun for an extended period of time.

Six, if you are headed to the beach on a hot and sunny day take care to not let your pup drink the salt water– the salt can upset their tummies.

Hope you enjoyed our summer safety tips for 2011, enjoy your summer and safe travels to you and your furry companions!

Manor Lake Hogan in Calabasas, CA

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Hi Kim/Mollie-


Hogan has been such a wonderful puppy!!! He is sweet and such a good listener! He welcome our guests with a quick sniff and lots of love, and has been a wonderful addition to our family. We talked about him so much that my husband’s brother also has a Manor Lake Labradoodle now! So, we have a “cousin” close by for Hogan to play with!!!

Hogan has a girlfriend! She is also a Labradoodle and they play together all the time. He is very social with other dogs as well, and has lots of neighborhood “friends.” All the kids love to pet him and they all think he is so soft! I even had one little girl ask if he was a bear- but that was before he got his summer haircut

Thanks again- we LOVE him so so much! I have attached a recent photo of him at his “perch” – he likes to sit on the front yard grass when the kids get ready to leave for school.

Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle Training for Seizure Detection

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Hi Ladies, Holy Cow…look at Emmie’s new babies! I don’t suppose the government would allow me two service dogs????? Dea’gla’n is about half way through his training and awesome in every way. He has alerted several times when I didn’t know a seizure was coming. I know everyone says this…but I REALLY cannot imagine getting through a day without him! If you ever need a recommendation on training your dogs as service dogs, please feel free to give my contact information. Thanks again for an awesome companion!

I just had to let you know how extraordinary your breeding program is. I just ran the Houston Marathon and while alone in my hotel room immediately after, I had a small seizure. Dea’gla’n was playing, but as soon as I seized he stood absolutely still for a few seconds, then ran to me and lay across my chest, then moved to my left side and licked my ear and face until I recovered. I was so stunned at his actions that I forgot to get upset about the seizure!! Since he is only four months old and has had only basic obedience training, I believe this behavior can only be the result of your breeding program. I just can’t express to you what a sense of freedom Dea’gla’n gives me already…thanks!! Kate

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

Thank you Jimmy for your kind email and pictures on Alfred! He looks wonderful! Manor Lake Alfred is a chocolate Australian Labradoodle.

Hi Kim/Mollie,

Alfred is doing great. He had his first Chicago exam yesterday and the vet said he’s in great shape. He really is an awesome dog…so well-tempered and loves the attention he gets from everyone. Even as a pup, he walks better on his leash than any other dog I’ve known.

Thanks again!
