Our little Posh is due soon! We have projected her due date for January 12th and we just can’t wait. Here she is lounging around pregnant as ever just waiting for her puppies to come.

We love to hear about our puppies in their new homes and see how they have grown with new families – it’s one of the best parts of what we do!
I do hope you have had a wonderful X-mas. I would like to send you an update about Mara. Although it is only 10 days she is here with us, it seems like she has lived here forever. She is very happy, plays a lot, eats very well and is not afraid of other dogs. We took her to the beach and she had a great time. She is quite athletic and loves to run around. We are very very happy with her and is a friend of us all.
Best regards,
Inge and Family

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,

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!

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!

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.
