Summer Vacation at the Hanging out at the house Drying off after a swim
lake
Hi Donna,
I feel I am past due for a Paisley update! I saw that she has some little brothers and sisters available now! Bear and Bella certainly have the sweetest pups. I think Paisley looks a lot like her mom, Bella. She is 2 1/2 years old now and she is the sweetest dog I've ever known. She's quite popular with friends, family and neighbors due to her friendly happy disposition, not to mention how cute she is! We did obedience training this summer and she was one of the best in the class. In fact, she was used as the demonstration dog almost every week. In introductory agility she was not at all afraid to try anything new and was quite agile! As you can probably tell we are absolutely in love with her. I tell people all the time how she truely has lived up to everything I read about the breed. I would have 10 of your dogs if I could! Attached are a few pictures: 1. Summer vacation at the lake. 2. Hanging out at home. and 3. Getting dried off after a swim. I hope all is well in Florida.
Take care,
Gina Hutchison


Donna, Jasper is super. He is through almost all his shots, and takes each one as a trooper.
He's really enjoying his big sister, and gets compliments everywhere he goes. We were just on the deck commenting on how handsome he is. He's learning commands so fast that we have to think of the next thing to teach him. He is just learning to keep his crate dry and clean at night, and his "accidents" inside are becoming fewer. I guess he's training us better each day.
He's now up to 8 pounds at 14 weeks. The vet was most impressed on how he had been trained by you as he knew his name and was attentive to the doctor's voice. He seems fearless to loud noises, and does not retreat from large dogs.
My wife has said many times that he was well worth the drive to get him. He's cute, sweet and loves his mom totally. In other words, he's exactly what we wanted in a second dog.

Hi Donna!
I hope all is well there in Florida! Just thought I send a few pics of Paisley, who is a year old now. Just wanted to let you know she is happy and healthy and we just love her to pieces!
Take care,
Gina

We just wanted to let you know how greatful we are to have this little guy and we love him so much!
Thank you again for bringing him to us!!

Hello Donna, Attached are some pictures of our Remy (Remington) at 6 months old. We sure do love him. He is such a part of our family. Remy gets along with his brothers Oliver, a Yorkie, and Snoopy, a Cocker Spaniel. He was very easy to train. We would love to have another one in the future. They are so good natured and love to be around people. Many thanks for such a wonderful dog.

I just wanted to e-mail you and fill you in on our little Chloe. She is doing so great. She has slept through the night every night so far without any crying...and no accidents in the house so far(knock on wood).
She loves the Christmas tree in the house-it is her favorite place to lay with all of her toys. I think she will be very sad when she see's it leave after Christmas.
We have a crate for her: however, she is rarely in it - only when we leave - she sleeps in bed with us at night with her head on the pillow - the little princess!
She went to the vet Tuesday for her puppy check and got a great bill of health... she's eating very well and taking naps regularly and playing a lot! We love her so much. She really is the highlight of our little married life thus far!

Many thanks to Sandcastle Labradoodles for our sweet Paisley! She is doing wonderfully! She is so smart and training her has been a breeze. She has mastered "sit,stay,come,down" and is great at walking on a leash and fetching. No doubt the love and training she received from Donna was just the start she needed! The allergy-free shed-free aspect of the Labradoodle is such a nice bonus. It makes having Paisley as a house dog very enjoyable and low maintenance! She is great at riding in the car. She has her little spot on the backseat and loves to go places with us. We take her on many outings. She loves to go hiking and walking in the park and is very friendly to other dogs and children. Paisley also loves the water! Can't wait to take her fishing this summer. While she is very spunky and fun, she is equally cuddly and sweet. We just absolutely love her!! Thanks so much!
I think that says it all. She is doing great! Still gets a little upset when we leave her at home but I think that will continue to improve. She seems to settle down after we leave and doesn't seem mad or upset when we get home; just happy to see us. She has gained about 4 pounds. What a great little personality she has. Still sleeps in her crate at night with no issues. I can't tell if she is more partial to one of us over the other. Most dogs pick one family member to attach themselves to, but she stills seems equally attached to both of us. It's amazing. Such a wonderful little girl!
Thanks, Gina Hutchison

All is well with Rosalynn - we are enjoying every single moment with her. This is a wonderful dog and we thank you - we are in training mode of course and love that part too. She hikes daily and has a real thing for squeeky toys - a great training tool. This picture was taken this weekend on one of our hikes - and for some reason I love the shot of her here!!!
We took your encouraging words and she is back spending a few hours a day in the crate - she is very smart and we are still working on getting her incorporated with the other dogs - I have one Papilon that is giving her attitude but it is inching in the right direction. Thanks again and we'll be in touch.
Best, Allison Fayer

It is official....I am completely taken with Chewbacca. I can't tell you how perfect he is for me. Everyone who meets him says he is a gentle and wise soul and that we are perfect mates. He has an uncanny ability to match his behavior to whatever animal he is around. My neighbors have a Cairn Terrier who is quite the pack leader. They love to play fight and roll around together. On our daily walks he is happy to greet people he already knows but takes his time deciding about new people. I truly believe Chewbacca was just waiting for me to take action after meeting his kennel mates at the Winter Park Farmers Market. I would never hesitate to recommend potential owners to Sandcastle and your Loving care.
All the best and Hello from Chewbacca

All 3 of my doodles volunteered this week-end at the Children's Miracle Network Telethon. They are therapy dogs at Geisinger Children's Hospital and this is held every year. This was Toni's first telethon and she did great. They attended a Princess and Pirate party and got lots of pictures with kids. Teagen and Toni kept their crowns on, Giovanna kept shaking her's off. They had a very, very busy weekend.

Toni the beautiful daughter of our Tegan Park Mikaila (Mickey) passed her test on 3/10/09 and is now a Certified Therapy Dog.
Congratulations, Toni!!

I would like to introduce the newest member of our family, Sammy Ballard. He is the one with all the brown curly hair.
My children have wanted a dog for a very long time, but they have terrible allergies. I heard about the Labradoodles and was very curious. My mother and I went out to the farm to see what all the commotion was about. We fell in Love. Sammy came over to me and sat down and placed his head on my lap. It was love at first sight. We took him home that very night to my children, Taylor who is eight, and Connor who is four. They were ecstatic! It was like he was a long lost relative that came back home. He has a very calm demeanor and loving way about him. They children seem to even act better around him.
Sammy has never had one accident in the house and goes to work with my husband, who works in an office! He just lies on his pillow and is so happy for the company.
We are so grateful for the opportunity to have met the owners of the farm and to learn about this wonderful breed. I think Labradoodles must have been human in their last life. If you ever get a chance to meet an Australian Labradoodle, don't miss the opportunity; you will be glad you did. We sure are!!!

"Just wanted to let you know that Sayer and Rigby continue the lovefest! After having Rigby to our vet for a 1st check-up he was impressed with her temperment and health. After looking over Rigby and the paperwork you sent home with her he commented it was obvious you were doing everything right.
It appears there is going to be a 3rd Sandcastle Labradoodle in our family! My niece from Chicago who has been researching labradoodles for some time was just visiting us and fell for Madigan. She has now returned home and has sent me an email telling me she is going to reserve one of your pups due January 7 as a birthday present to herself.
You and your team are the best"

"I have two Labradoodles from Tegan Park's Zepher. I purchased the first pup from Kim in November of 2007. I shared with Kim that a family-friendly dog was a must since we have a large family with over 10 nieces and nephews who are quite young, and also have two children of our own. She told me she had a wonderful dog for my family, and she was so right. Tegan Park Cappuccino ("Capp") is a wonderful dog who is mellow and loving. He is the hit of the neighborhood and attracts children like a magnet. After we had him for six months Kim helped us get our second pup from Zepher who is six months younger than Capp. We named him Tegan Java Joe. He is SO incredibly intelligent and obedient and is very fond of his brother Capp. They are both the most loving, loyal and intuitive dogs we have ever had. They both adore children and dote on their family members.
I checked with various breeders before purchasing a dog from Kim. The decision was sealed after working with her and listening to the characteristics of these wonderful dogs. She was patient and friendly, and I knew that I wanted to purchase the pups from her. These dogs are welcome and loved members of our family. They are smart, easily trained, and wonderful with people. I have had many dogs over the years, but these Labradoodles are awesome!"

"I just wanted to give you an update on Romo. From the moment we picked him up from the airport, (Philadelphia International) he looked great. Romo he has been an absolute pleasure to be around. I can't say enough about how wonderful an experience it was dealing with you Kim. Romo has a great disposition and is getting more adorable as the days go on. Our family was amazed at how smart he is and how quickly he was able to train. Romo is also a very social dog and he gets along with all kids and loves to be around the other dogs in our neighborhood. Keep up the good work you are doing an amazing job in breeding these wonderful dogs."

"After all, my little one, we are all journeymen on the bus of life. We are only blood and tissue. Some days it all lines up correctly and some days it doesn't.
When it doesn't, we have GOD. But for when HE is silent, HE gives us dogs and laughter."

We love her and think that she is happy with us. Thanks again for making such a difference to our family.
I had to send one more picture. If you knew my husband, you'd understand how unexpected this was.
He has been allergic to pets all of his life and tends to be a little less demonstrative anyway. Imagine my surprise when I came home to find him and Des snuggled up together on the couch!
She has totally won over the entire family and is such a sweet natured dog.

"I wanted to thank you for all your help on getting Captain Jack for us. He is all that you said he was and more, he is so smart, loving, affectionate and playful, he fits our family to a 'T'. He is just perfect, he never cried and he was so easy to potty train, my boys love him and we are so grateful for your help and for breeding such an excellent dog.
He arrived happy and ready to play, he is not shy or timid, and he has the heart of a big dog in a small package. Everyone that meets him is smitten, they ask what kind of dog he is and where did I get him from. I whole heartedly recommend you to anyone who is looking for the perfect dog. Keep up the good work."

"Just wanted to wish you luck on new venture. Coco is now 7 months old and is actually in charge of the family. I thought my kids would have given up their responsibilities by now but, it is the opposite. They are the first ones to volunteer for walking duty. She has been a great addition to our home and we would not have done it without your amazing help. My - the first day we talked until today, you have been there for us. I would recommend anyone interested in adopting a Labradoodle to speak to you first, and only you ...you are great."

"I wanted to say thanks again for making my adoption process the best I have ever experienced when purchasing a puppy. As you know, I did a lot of homework before deciding on an Australian Labradoodle, and after speaking to you (phone & emails) I knew my purchase would only be a puppy from you! Flip is doing great and starting to become more of a lighter brown/cafe' color, which is very cool. He's about 38 pounds now and 20-inches at the shoulders (the perfect size medium-type male doodle). He is now completely housebroken and I am starting off leash training to which he is doing great at. He makes constant eye contact with me, and never runs off. Again, thanks for helping me decide on a dog that matches (me) perfectly; his personality is starting to mature and he has become an awesome dog (1 year old on June 2nd) I can't wait to see what's ahead for 2008 but I'm sure this will be the year for puppy #2."
