Hi Kim and the Manor Lake Crew,

Hope you are all well! We just wanted to drop you an email telling you how absolutely in love we are with our puppy, Charlie Brown. He has been an absolute delight. He is growing well (now 4 months, already 28 pounds!), fully potty trained and extremely obedient. Since the day we got him off the plane he integrated into our family immediately.He is extremely adaptable in all surroundings and loves living in NYC. He makes so many friends walking down the street (he is truly a show stopper!) and is so well-behaved when I take him into stores (NYC is extremely dog friendly). He is truly a dog that can be taken anywhere — and loves doing just that — I rarely go out without him by my side. He plays so well with other dogs too! He is an all around A+ and we love him very very much.

We could never imagine a better dog or a better match for our family. We are just so happy and so grateful to Manor Lake for bringing our bundle of joy in our lives.

Thanks again!
Best,
Amy

1. Always have fresh, clean water available. Your dog needs to stay hydrated too, even if this means you carry around a water dish, water bottle or a water rover.

2. Do not leave your dog in the car unattended at any time, unless you choose to leave the air conditioning running. You know how hot it gets in the car while sitting under the sun…

3. Provide shade for your Australian Labradoodle. Have a place for them to escape from the sun at all times.

4. Do not tether your dog outside while unattended. They may find themselves wrapped around the tether and stuck under the beating sun without shade.

5. Avoid activity during the middle of the day with your dog. Try to schedule their time outside to be in the morning or afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the days.

6. This tip goes in hand with #5, avoid walking your dog on pavement, asphalt or gravel during the hottest part of the day. Be conscious of the surface they’re walking on and its temperature as burnt puppy pads are quite painful. You wouldn’t want to walk on hot pavement either…

7. Do you have a chocolate or a black Australian Labradoodle? These colors will attract heat faster than others, so keep this in mind while watching your dogs comfort and temperature in the sun.

We hope you can find these tips helpful while enjoying the summer days to come with your Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle!

Hello Kim, Erin, and everyone,

Nera, from Blondie and Soupy, was 1 year old yesterday!  We feel so blessed to have her.  She is about 38 pounds now.  Thank you for choosing this very sweet puppy for us.  She has been the perfect family companion.  I never imagined it would be so easy!  Most important, my son has not had any allergy issues.  His allergies and asthma have remained about the same.  Nera is a very loving puppy, adapting to each of us in a special way.  She cuddles with the kids like a teddy bear.  She is patient and forgiving.  She loves walking and is an awesome walker on leash.  She also loves romping with other puppies and dogs.  She can play gently with a 12 pound pug or hold her own with a 90 pound lab.  She did great in her puppy training classes and is very obedient – very much a pleaser.  She is so good for rides in the minivan, calmly sitting in the backseat watching out the window.  We take her everywhere we can – all the kids sports activities, Starbucks, anywhere we can.  We have taken a few short trips with her and she does excellent staying in a hotel room with us.  I can’t say enough about this wonderful puppy.  She will always be our “puppy” no matter how old she is!

Thank you again for this wonderful addition to our family.

Love and hugs,

Judy Day and family

SnugglePuppies™, with a new and improved heartbeat, will capture your pet’s heart! All ages of animals love our adorable SnugglePuppie™ because they connect with the “real feel” heart beat and gentle warmth. Remember that children and seniors love to cuddle them too! Heart beat with batteries and two types of heat included.

We like Snuggle puppies at Manor Lake because they can make our Australian Labradoodle puppies more comfortable when they are transitioning to their new homes.  The young puppies really like the heart beat and warmth of the SnugglePuppy, it reminds them of their litter mates and mother and comforts them through this separation.

We carry the Snuggle Puppy in our Manor Lake Dog Boutique, check them out!

We are frequently asked about proper ear cleaning methods for our Australian Labradoodles, and ear care is very important!  The above link, from WSU College of Veterinary Medicine,  is recommended by the Australian Labradoodle Association of America, an organization of which Kim is very active in as the Vice President.  It’s easy to follow, with great pictures, and with some practice you’ll have a happy dog with healthy ears!  We recommend the use of ProEar Medicated Ear Cleaner from PetEdge (www.petedge.com)  Manor Lake Peyton loves to show off her ears don’t you think?
