What are my puppy buyers saying about their pups?
Brenda,
Thought I would tell you that Lucky is the name of the most beautiful
labradoodle that there is!
He is great! Had a wonderful night! He is smart as a whip!!!! He
fetches / and brings it back / goes outside to the potty!
He is great!!
Just got back from the vet’s. He
pronounced him a healthy beautiful fantastic pup! Lucky weighed 10 lbs. 2
oz.
He delighted everyone at the office!

Hi Brenda,
Just thought I would bring you up to date on our little Maggie. Her vet. check up was perfect and she’s wonderful! She’s had lots of company and loves to run with the grandchildren. More later.
Brenda,
Pearl went in for her check-up this morning. She weighed in at 15 lbs 11 oz. Overall she has a clean bill of health.
She is adjusting well to our family life. She is such a sweet, loving, smart dog. The first couple of nights we had to get up around 3am to take her out, but last night she slept through the night. Fingers crossed! She is starting puppy classes next Tuesday, so she should get some new puppy playmates soon. All in all, I think she is doing just fine.
I will send pictures in a few weeks when she gets a little bigger.
Hope all is well in puppy land!
Brandy
Hi,
The pup that my daughter and I brought home last week is doing well. My daughter named him MAX. (not sure why)
He is all puppy–that is for sure. Our older “alpha” male bichon/cocker is having a little trouble with it, but he is warming up.
Hope all is well with you.
Hi,
Snuggles (the puppies name) is doing great. She is quite playful and upbeat, but also a cuddle bug, hence where she got her name. She is learning new things very fast, has an excellent temperment, and is trying very hard to be-friend my other dog.
Your main page is true, you can buy love, she can make me smile no matter how bad the day has gone.
Thank you,
Shannon
Thanks everyone!
I’m so thrilled to know that the pups are all doing well and being enjoyed.
Jennifer, thank you for your kind compliment. It’s really fun being able to share my love of these dogs with so many.
Tink aka Brenda
Hello Tink!
We absolutely love our sweet Wolfgang. (the calm black curly pup)
He is so sweet and a perfect addition to our family. He is getting B I G!
Hope your thanksgiving is great.
fondly,
Jenette and family
Hi Brenda~
Kramer is doing great and is adjusting well. Everyone cannot believe how good he is!
Seasons Greetings from
Matt and Kelly
Lily is doing great, we just adore her. Everything you said about her was true - she is really a sweetheart. We will send pictures soon. She keeps trying to get close to the cats, but our other dog is protecting them from her - rather funny, she just walks away and finds someone to pet her.
Her vet checkup went well - looks like she is in good shape.
Thank you for your help and for a great dog.
Jeanne
Hi Brenda,
Lily is doing very well, she is so sweet and very social. Whatever you did to work on her socialization skills worked well. We had a party on Saturday night and she was so calm and just slept right in the middle of everyone all night - the guests were very impressed by her behavior - especially when they found out she was only 5 months old. She is really growing fast - I promise to send some photos, we have lots, I just need to get them to you which means wrestling the computer away from two teenagers!
She was spayed last week and has done remarkably well, not licking at all, so we did not have to use the cone on her head or anything. What a relief. It has been difficult keeping her and Lucy from their wrestling, only one more week of that. The vet said she looked good and she was the hit of the office - that face is just so cute.
I would say you are doing quite well - like we mentioned before, the
website is really well done and I appreciated the fact that what I read was what I got - there were no surprises. I also appreciated the timely updates - nothing worse than an outdated website.
I will be sure to recommend you - I have had lots of inquiries about where I got Lily.
Good luck with the new dogs and the next litter.
Jeanne
Hi Brenda,
Sorry I haven’t written about our Maggie. She’s wonderful!!! -(into everything, just like a typical puppy!) She looks exactly like the last puppy you had - I’m glad he’s found a home. Maggie has started Puppy Kindergarten and is doing well. She’s the tallest in the class (she’s almost as tall as our yellow lab, Molly. She learns easily and loves treats!
Maggie and Molly get along famously (though not at first). We were careful to let Molly adjust to the new member of our family.
Next Monday, Feb. 11th, Maggie will be spayed. I hope the surgery and recovery will go well. I’m working most of my hours on Monday and Tuesday before I pick her up so I will have more time to be home with Maggie. I will send you a confirmation of her procedure once it’s over.
Both Dave and I are very pleased with everything about Maggie and the Labradoodle breed. Even Dave has been telling people all about Maggie and Labradoodles. Since he’s a long lover of Labs, it’s nice to see him so enthusiastic about Maggie. He loves her looks and the course wavy coat.
I’ve told numerous people about your website and show them if I’m near a computer. You’ve done an excellent job of giving people a site that explains the breed and shows what Labradoodles look like. Since I don’t know how to email a picture or use a digital camera, I’m glad your site shows so many stages of the breed.
Have to run. I come home midday to feed and take our Maggie and Molly (Maggie always wants Molly to go out with her). Then I return to work for a couple hours. It’s a change in my schedule, but it works for the dogs and I’m finding I can start a slow cooker meal at noon and have it ready for the evening.
Maggie has been exposed to our children’s dogs, as well as the 7
grandchildren and everyone loves her!!! Even the 1 1/2 year old Kate is learning how to handle Maggie. Maggie has also been introduced to our cabin up north and loves it.
I hate to admit it, but she sleeps on our bed with Molly and is great. She’ll gently come and lick our faces to let us know she’s up. She is also “kenneled” with Molly in our den (giving both a sofa and large chair to relax on). She’s also getting used to the crate as it is necessary for our traveling in the car. All in all, she’s quite spoiled, but so have been all our other dogs. She’ll continue her training at Ann Braun’s dog training facilities. I know the importance of having her trained, especially since
she’ll be a big dog.
Hope all the pups are happy in their homes and the owners are as excited about having them as we are. Maggie’s a beautiful, fun puppy!
Talk to you soon.
Carol
Hello!
As I write this, the sweet puppy is curled up at my feet. Wolfie is energetic, sweet natured, naughty and fun. He is huge….at least 40 pounds now and has wavey black hair (with a few white ones mixed in).
Bradd and I were very happy with the process of buying a puppy from you. We appreciate the website and your quick response whenever we had a question. It was nice to see how much care and love you gave the dogs.
Good luck in the future!
Thanks,
Jenette and Bradd
Hi Brenda~
‘Kramer’ is hands down the BEST PUP EVER!!! We absolutely just love him along with everyone else who meets him. He is doing wonderful. He has not chewed or destroyed anything. He knows the commands sit, lay down, shake, stay and come. He rarely even barks…..no joking, he’ll maybe actually bark 1 or 2 times each week! It’s so funny when he does. He’s absolutely loving the snow. We’re still working on the potty training and he’s getting the hang of it. He also enjoys hanging out with our friend’s golden retriever, my parent’s airedale, and my brother’s black lab. He’s a very social pup. It’s funny, how we originally wanted the other pup that was taken right before him (based on the pictures), now we couldn’t imagine having a different dog. We’re glad we got Kramer. The only thing that we would love to see on your website, is pictures of the other pups from Kramer’s litter growing up if the owners send them to you. We would love to see how Kramer’s siblings are doing. We attached a couple of recent photos of Kramer at 5 months old. Feel free to post any of his pictures if you want to. We wish we could come back for more pups when you have them, but one’s enough for now!!
Thanks so much~
Matt & Kelly Zavada (and Kramer too)
Maggie’s a real character and we love her a lot! She seems to understand everything we say. She’s smart and fast (and a bit of a thief). She’s as tall as our yellow lab Molly and they are very close. Maggie insists Molly go outside every time she does. It’s good for Molly to have a friend; and good for Maggie too.
Her last puppy kindergarten class is tonight. I’ll have to sign her up for the next level class – she needs to be trained so I can safely walk her once the ice and snow is gone.

Hi Brenda,
Thought I would update you on Lucky! Still the best dog we have ever had! He was neutered on Monday and came through that just fine! Now we are supposed to keep him quiet!! Ha! Ha! He weighed 47 lbs. He is totally housebroken, was basically from day 1, which is unbelievable. He is super smart and learns tricks very fast! Loves to be outdoors! Of course — he sleeps with us on our bed! I will send a picture as soon as I figure out how to do it on the internet, or else I will send one by mail! He loves to ride in the car — actually likes our grandson’s carseat!!!! Kathy
Good luck with your next litter! If you need recommendations about your labradoodles — have them call me!!!
Wow… I’m just so happy that so many of you have updated me on your Tinkerdoodle pups! Thank you so much for keeping in contact and letting me know how well our babies are doing. As those of you who’ve met me have seen, I do have a strong love for my dogs… so it’s impossible to stop caring about them even after they’ve gone home with their new families. Seeing photos of them and hearing how much they’re loved is a true blessing.
Some know that I’ve gotten one of my females from the Sept 2007 litter back. Her new owner was having problems with her landlord over the pup and naturally I wanted her back rather than to have her go to someone else. She’s a real sweetie and I’ve decided to hang onto her to see if she might just end up being a replacement for her Mother when I retire her from my breeding program. IF she tests out like I expect she will, I’ll have F1b doodles with her and my new chocolate poodle boy Chip. Right now the 2 of them are good friends and playmates.
Please keep up the updates. I seriously appreciate them.
Sincerely,
Tink
I took a look at this sight and it is so nice to see the responsible breeding practices you are taking. There are so many people out there cross breeding animals that they should not be and it is so sad. I can’t believe the number of mixed breeds that are bred, do people not realize that it can be very dangerous? You sound and look like you are a very reputable breeder. Good luck to you and you dogs.
Greetings,
I thought I would update you on Max.
He is a big boy. Around 65lbs now and all heart.
Training has not been easy. Housebreaking was pretty smooth, but he is into everything. We are working with him on his walks,to not pull or jump on people and to not “counter surf” around the house. Progress is slow, but coming along.
He is a very curious guy and good at problem solving, so hopefully the discipline part will follow.
Take care,
Marty
Hi Brenda,
Congratulations on your new litter. If you need any references about how fantastic your Labradoodles, have them call me! I wouldn’t trade Lucky for the world! He is getting very big! I haven’t weighed him since the vet, but he is bigger than our dalmatian and our goldador. Good Luck! Love the pictures!
Brenda,
Sorry to hear about Moses. Lucky does smile, so he inherited it from his dad.
Kathy
Kathy,
You made my day. What I miss most about Moses is him smiling at me. I love my other dogs dearly, but that was a trait that I found SO endearing and it was so unique to him and his babies. I’m delighted for each one that carries that. I hope the new babies will get that from him as well.
I’d love to see new photos of Lucky when you have a chance… I’m sure he’s gorgeous and would love to be able to show him off here on the site.
Appreciatively yours,
Tink
If you remember, I am a geologist
and I work on a drilling program–we take core samples out of the ground
and analyze them, looking for metals that are found in ’sulfide minerals.’
The picture is titled ” Sulfide Sniffing Dog.” In it, I am kneeling next to
some core examining it, and Yeti is sniffing at it. I told my boss we have
to put him on the payroll if he’s is going to sniff out the metals for us!
This picture and one other of Yeti actually made my company’s annual
report, so potentially thousands of people will see pics of him!
I work in the woods, and I plan to train him to be my field dog. We’ve been
out a bit–he likes to stay 50-100 yards ahead to scope out the path, but
he checks in with me, and comes right back when I call. We make such great
partners. I love my boy so much! He is the friendliest, happiest, cuddliest dog I
have ever met. He is so loyal–he likes to follow me from room to room, and
never likes to be left behind. He is smart and listens well. We walk around
town, and everyone stops to inquire about him, tell me he’s so handsome, or
cool looking, or interesting. Cars drive by us and I can see them pointing
and smiling. We get so much attention! He is a great runner with his long
legs and huge feet. From the few times we’ve been to the lake, I can tell
he will be a great swimmer. He loves all other dogs and people. He even
loves going to the vet.
Yeti is doing wonderfully. He is 57 lbs, tall, lanky, and has very long
legs, like Moses.
Thank you so much for the best dog in the world!
He’s definitely the best decision I have ever made.
Cheers,
Marcella
Lily is great, she is very cute and well behaved. I have finally attached a photo - she is now 9 months old. She is very sweet, full of energy and really enjoys doing high speed laps around the house with Lucy who is 5 years old.
I have been watching your website, the puppies are adorable - that little black guy still available is just precious!
Enjoy your puppies!
Jeanne
Hello! Kramer is doing wonderful. Before we even got Kramer, you described him as going to be ‘king-sized’ and he sure is living up to that! He’s at least 80lbs by now. Kramer just got a new ‘brother’ at the end of April. We got another dog, a Goldendoodle named ‘Newman’. He is almost 4 months old. We are very busy keeping these dogs entertained, but we love it. They get along great. We were sorry to hear about Moses. I have checked your site numerous times to see the new litters and updates. Kramer is doing great, and is truly a wonderful dog.
Thanks
Matt and Kelly
Hi Tink,
Maggie is doing great! Dave wasn’t too sure he wanted another dog after our male yellow lab died a year ago last August, but he loves Maggie and says she makes him laugh. She is a wild spirited clown who never just walks or runs, but has a jaunty gate to all her movements. She has been described as a lab with a bad hair day to an Irish Wolfhound. She’s already about 4 inches taller than our yellow lab Molly, but still acts like a puppy. She greets us in the morning by plopping down on our chests and demanding to have her back scratched. She’s very affectionate with us but does not
accept strangers well. She barks at them and refuses to get close until I have them give her a couple treats. Because of this, she is a great watchdog. She doesn’t bark at the ducks, turkeys and deer in the back yard, but sits on the loveseat and watches them with much interest. As you may have guessed, Maggie is truly a member of the family with privileges that include being on the furniture (as Molly is too).
Maggie loves being at the lake and bounces around in the water as if she had springs on her feet. She enjoys running full tilt down the beach and in the yard. It’s definitely her favorite place.
We love Maggie and think she’s a wonderful dog! Molly loves her too. She’s a great new member of our family.
We’re still trying to figure out how to get the pictures of her from our camera to the computer. I’ll send pictures as soon as our son Pete helps us with the camera. From the pictures on your website, she looks like the other pups having course wavy hair. She looks like Dakota except is thinner. She always seems to be smiling even through her bangs.
Hope all your pups are loved as much as we love Maggie.
Carol
Hi Tink,
Pearl is adorable. She is a big
sweetheart. I will send you some updated pictures sooon.
Peggy
Hi Tink!
Lucky is doing great! He is absolutely the neatest dog around! Entertains us all the time. He now weighs 48 pounds! He is a big boy! I will try to send you some pictures next week — after my son-in-law shows me how to do it!!!
Congratulations on your new litter! I would eventually like another
Labradoodle, however — not until we lose one of our other dogs! Three is a
nice number!
Kathy
Denali is wonderful! She slept in her crate from 9:30 – 4:15 and kept it dry. Out to potty and then back to sleep. Our oldest daughter sung her to sleep, it was adorable. She is playing all around the house with the kids this morning and has been outside exploring the yard. She is all ears when she runs in her excited puppy gallop. She has already eaten some puppy chow and taken care of business in the yard. She is getting non-stop attention and seems to be soaking up every bit of it. Thank you so much for such a beautiful, sweet puppy!
The Breyers
Hi Tink,
Thunder is great! He traveled well in spite of the poor weather. He is almost completely house broken. He gets so much attention he is exhausted at the end of the day. He is a very cuddly, sweet, good boy. He loves to play. He has many toys. I feel like I have an infant again!! Had a good check up with the vet on Friday. He is here at my office this am. Will forward a picture when I have one.
Thanks again for everything.
Gail
Hi Tink,
Rocket a.k.a. Cuddles traveled very well. She is already starting to pick up on potty training and is starting to learn how to take here humans on a nice walk.
We had her checked out by our vet on Thursday and all was well.
Rocket IS a cuddler! She seams to be nervous about getting near large bread dogs which surprised us since she came from a family with other large dogs.
I am sure she has had a lot of stress to deal with this week. And I am sure we will all work through this to make her transition to her new family a smooth one.
If you have any suggestions or comments that may help us feel free to offer them.
Thank you again.
Robbie Diana Taylor and of course “Rocket”
Hi,
Yes, things are going well. We named her Izzy and she traveled well. It was a long trip back and Izzy slept most of the way.
I took her to the vet today and all is well. I just hope that she can get use to the kennel that we put her in at night. She doesn’t like it at all and she let’s us know about it. So I haven’t gotten much sleep but I expected that.
It was nice to meet you and I hope all is going well with the new liter,
Ellen
Hi Tink
Thank you so much for thinking of us and checking in on Finley. Everything is going well. She is truly adapting better than we thought she would (potty training etc.)
My parents had a nightmarish ride home due to the flooding and road
conditions (they were exhausted) Thank you for being so nice and
understanding thru all of this.
Finley went to the Vet the next morning (6/13) and got a great report from Dr. Hoppe.
Hope all is well for you and the other puppies & thier families are as happy as we are.
Gale
Hi Tink,
Sorry this took so long. My son got married and my granddaughter’s birthday, both out of town events. We finally got a full weekend at home.
Gracie (aka Snuggles) is doing just great. We really enjoy her. She’s good company for the old dog and they get along pretty well. It’s like having 2 three year olds.
Gracie enjoys her pool to cool off in after a round of ball chasing. She also is now called “Gracie the Wonder Dog” after fending off a mother black bear and 2 cubs that were persistant in hanging around the house. They were there for about an hour and a half and Gracie would go right after the mother. I was real concerned about her but she got thru the ordeal better than me. I doubt the bear will venture into our woods any time soon.
Hope all is well with you.
Carol
Hi Brenda,
Your new litter is just as cute as all the others! Lucky is doing great! Finally got him in the Chippewa River and he loves it! He fetched a stick for over two hours! When he fetches a stick or his tennis ball, he immediately comes back and drops it at our feet! Such a smart dog. I was wrong on his weight! He weighed 60 pounds when he was kenneled last week. Loves our grandchildren and they love him! Our grandkids are 10, 8, 7 & 6. All were at the house this past weekend — when we were on the pontoon boat and for Lucky’s first swim! He is great! One problem — he loves to jump our fence! Kathy
Hello Brenda,
Lexi is doing fantastic.
She is a dream. No problems traveling and she never got sick. She never had an accident at my brothers either. We couldn’t believe it. She had a few when we got her to our house, but now she is going to the door by herself.
She loves the lake. She has been swimming already. I couldn’t believe that. I thought she would be too young. She is sleeping through the night. She gets up just before 7:00 am which is pretty good I thought.
She knows how to sit and lay down and she understands no pretty well. She is a smart dog. I have a ton of pictures. I’ll try to send a few. I am not the best at that though. I am working on it. If you want to contact me try my home e-mail. That way I will be sure to get it.
I’ll keep in touch,
Jeannette
Dear tink,
I just have to say that Thunder is the best thing that could have happened to us. He is absolutely lovable, cute, sweet and smart. We love him. We can never leave him alone. He is so spoiled.
