This is a beautiful golden girl. She is fun and loves to please. Kind and as sweet as can be!!! A great family dog and very obedient

A beautiful deep red girl weighing about 55 pounds, with a sweet and loyal personality. Paddy is kind and a gentle dog that is patient and a super mother.

This is a medium golden girl that is fun and outgoing. She loves to play fetch and is very athletic. She is smaller, weighing about 45 pounds and stands about 20 inches tall.

Here is our “big” girl! This was taken last week! She is the joy of our life! We cannot go anywhere without people stopping to look, admire and play still! And often it’s the same people adoring her over and over again! We cannot believe it’s been a year??? We cannot imagine our lives without her! Now that the leaves are starting to fall it reminds us that a year ago we were blessed with her! Thank you soooo much Arika! As you know when the time is finally right we will be getting another pup to join her!!! Is it that time yet???? We cannot wait!!!!

Hi Arika,

Bailey or your puppy name, Tula (which she still knows by the way) she is a great dog and a healthy dog – skinny still. She has lots of personality and spunk. She loves to cuddle all the time and wrap herself around you day and night.She still loves to be held like a baby over your shoulder…from your daughter carrying her that way as a pup.We were walking her last summer and we had someone stop us on our walk and asked us about her. They asked us a bunch of questions about her and offered to buy her ….we had to decline and tell them she wasn’t for sale.People love her tiny size. She looks very different than the typical doodle dog like Boomer is the poster dog for the doodle looking dog. We love her and she gives us lots of enjoyment even though she keeps eating the starfish ornaments off our tree! ha-ha

Have a great new year and take care,

Donna

Hi Arika, we purchased Chevy from you in April. He is from Ruger and Goldie’s breed of very petite minis. We are truly in love with Chevy, he has been such a blessing to us. I am including a picture for you. I was wondering if you plan to breed these two dogs again as we may consider getting a companion for Chevy but I would want it to be on the smaller side like he is. Please let me know if and when you might be breeding them again.

Thanks,

Penny

We brought “Ike” home when he was 11 weeks old, I had been corresponding with Arika for about a month who willing answered the many questions I had – it was a pleasure to work with Mountain Doodles!

We loved him at first sight! He spent the next 5 hours riding on our laps in the car, just snuggling us. We have a 7 year old golden retriever at home and were worried about his reaction. Ike immediately followed him around and within a day or two they were fast friends.

He knew his name at the end of the first day! At 13 weeks, Ike is exactly the kind of dog we wanted! He is so playful and smart! We are failures at crate training, but he seems to be mostly potty trained with an occasional accident, if we don’t remind him! He spends most of his day with us and really likes being out in the yard. He is really good about laying on his bed when he needs to relax during the day.

He lives to chew and play, and has made friends with every dog he meets, including all the big dogs. He does take a little bit more effort to keep brushed, because he loves to run through the tall grass and dig in the mud. His coat is very curly and soft, he looks exactly like a little teddy bear. His Vet recently commented about how “perfect” he was and we couldn’t agree more! We will begin puppy obedience training soon and hope that Ike has some “service” dog training within the next year.

Both Montana and Morgan are the perfect examples of mans best friend. They are loving, playful, gentle, and the envy of the neighborhood. We cannot walk down the street without someone asking about these 2 incredible dogs. They are the perfect size, disposition. They don’t shed, and are just love on four legs.

The kids do everything with them, form playing on the trampoline to swimming.

Thank you for such wonderful additions to our family.

Hi Arika,

It has been far too long since I have written. Poppy is growing up before our very eyes. We had her spayed 2 weeks ago, and she has recovered well. She is so smart and sweet. She is learning new tricks. She likes shake and roll over, and is learning peek-a-boo. I swear she knows what I’m saying when I talk to her. The only thing she’s not crazy about doing is coming when called outdoors. She comes close by, but she just doesn’t want to go back inside. I can’t blame her. We just need to work on it; it is totally up to us to do more training.She still sleeps in her crate most nights. Sometimes she will sleep upstairs with one of the girls if they are feeling scared. She has several dog friends in the neighborhood, and she plays with them regularly. When I go out during the day, I have been taking her with me. It is getting warmer now, so I can’t leave her in the car. I leave her in the kitchen and she is just fine. She doesn’t chew a thing; she is so sweet. Pretty soon we’ll be able to leave her in a larger area. We have a lot of French doors, so she can see out into the garden even when she is inside. All of the cats in the neighborhood drive her a bit crazy and she does bark quite a bit. I’m sure she’ll quiet down as she gets a bit older. She does not like the broom, shovel or rake either, and barks every time I try to do yard work!?We are just delighted with her. Thank you! I will send a photo to you very soon. I just don’t have a recent one on my computer. They are all on my phone. She is 18.2 pounds at 7 months. She is very tall and lean. She isn’t very motivated by food unless it is meat or some other treat. Hope this isn’t too much information. I just thought I’d share with you, because I can tell that you really loved her until you sent her to us.

Best,

Peggy
