Hi Dee,
I realized after my last update on Molly that I may have been sending your emails to the wrong address. Hopefully this one will get to you. Molly is doing great. She is now 6 months old. Can’t believe how fast time goes by. She’s been housebroken since about 4 months and we’re glad that period is over. She has been spayed and came through the surgery with flying colors. That was the last time we had her weighed and she was 12 lbs. She is probably around 14 lbs now but I think her weight gain has slowed down a bit. We’ve noticed she hasn’t been eating as much the last couple of weeks. We had been feeding her 3x’s a day but lately she seems to want to eat only at dinner time. Not sure what that is all about but she’ll eat her treats at any time of the day!! She loves her walks but today we switched her to a gentle leader to help with her pulling. She is such a friendly, social dog that whenever anyone is in her sight she’ll pull you all the way till you reach them. We tried it on her today and it seemed to help. Probably will take her some time to get used to it. Everyone is always saying what a cute dog she is and are always curious to know what kind of dog she is. They especially love her coloring. As you can tell from the pictures her favorite spot in the yard is in the border grass. In fact it is all flat now since Molly lays in it all the time. My husband is excited about the summer so he can introduce her to the pool. She seems very curious about it but so far hasn’t ventured in. She loves her bath (not the blow drying though) so I think she’ll probably love it. I hope you’re doing well and I still check out your website regularly. I love seeing all the new puppies. Thanks for breeding such a loveable, beautiful, sweet dog. She’s a joy!!
Fondly,
Nancy B.

Dee,
Cokey (Trixie and Kosmo's litter) will be 5 months old on Monday! Thought you might like to see her after her very first "big girl" haircut! She now weighs almost 10 lbs. She has the cutest personality and is one smart puppy! Best of all, she is the joy of our household!

On a side note, this little lady weighed just about 1.9 lbs when she went home! She has turned into a beautiful girl!
Hi Dee
Dudley graduated from pre-school training at the Canine Academy in Bolivia,NC recently. This 6 week course helped with the basic obedience commands like: sit, down, come, wait, good visit or no visit, heel, and stay. Dudley did great but would have done better if his owner could remember the correct commands! Dudley is a very smart and playful dog. He is wonderful!
Thanks for helping us get him as our new family member.

Hi Dee,
We just wanted you to know how pleased we are with Baxter (Kosmo and Libby's litter). He is the best dog and sooooo smart. We taught him to ring a bell when he needs to go potty (starting at four months). It has worked wonderfully and made potty training a breeze. We travel with the bell and when we visit friends, we show hi where it is and he has been a perfect house guest. He also loves the sailboat and the water. We were complimented by the vet on what a perfect cockapoo he was-physically! I have attached a couple of pictures for you! He is now 20lbs at 8 months old.
Thanks Again

Hi,
We purchased a puppy from you last September. He was one of your buff males from a litter of Bunny and Kosmo born on July 23, 2009. Toby is now 10 months old and we couldn’t be more in love with him or happier with our decision to get a puppy from you. I thought I’d tell you that he’s a bit bigger than expected, he recently weighed in at 22 pounds. But we don’t mind because he’s so adorable. By the way, when does a puppy reach his full size. He’s well behaved and believe it or not, doesn’t jump on furniture and isn’t a chewer. He has lots of toys and contents himself with them except for the occasional sock which he loves. He took awhile to house break, about 6 or 7 months, but we’re over that hurdle. He absolutely loves children and we live in a neighborhood with quite a few kids who also love him. He also loves other dogs and socializes beautifully.
I’ve attached a few of photos so you can see just how beautiful he is. He has his mama’s eyes. We delighted with him and so pleased we got him from your kennels. He’s happy, healthy, well-behaved for a 10-month old and such a wonderful addition to our family.
Best regards,

Dee,
I had to write and tell you how wonderful Juliet is!!! We are blown away at what a great puppy she is! Only one accident in the house and she is happy no matter where she is......with the kids, in the yard or in her crate! You really are breeding dogs with great temperament.
The funniest is when she jumps up and hangs off of Murphy's ears!
Thank you,

Dee -
Thanks again for your great customer service during our adoption process! I appreciated (and anxiously awaited) the new photos of our cutie-poo twice a month! I loved the articles you provided on the litter's webpage - they were of great help. You were also kind enough to give personal updates on our little one when we got curious about his day-to-day happenings. It adds up to a great relationship. Thank you.
Now, that our Sparky has been home for a week, we can see the other personal touches he must have received. He is very people oriented and comfortable around us, even our loud 4 year old twins. We can tell he has been in a home & acclimated to household sounds like the vacuum, phone, dishwasher, etc, because he fears nothing! He loves being bathed & having his nails trimmed, which tells me you cared for him often. His temperament is fabulous. The vet (I'll get to more on her later) did a little temperament test on him & said we could not ask for a better disposition in a puppy! He's very laid back & forgiving.
The vet check-up went extremely well. She said she wished all puppies from breeders were as healthy as Sparky & has as much documentation from the previous vet has he had. She & all the vet techs commented that he had the most luxurious coat of any Cockapoo they had seen.
I am sure none of this surprises you, because you have built your reputation on such, but I thought it might help families who are considering adopting their Cockapoo from Acura Cockapoos make the right choice.
I'll be sure to keep the photos of Sparky (Dolly & Eli)
coming, since you did as much for us!
Sincerely,
Michelle & family

Dee,
Izzy was 16 weeks old on Monday, August 9th. Attached are 2 pictures from this past weekend. She went to a cookout with us and got to go swimming in our friend's pool for the 1st time. She is quite the swimmer and very trusting. She is completely potty trained and of course rings the bell to go out. She does sometimes ring the bell to out and play (she is very smart). We currently have her in puppy kindergarten with Pawsitive Results. She is doing very well. I will send you a dry picture soon because she is quite beautiful when all "fluffed up". Of course we love her and she is a little spoiled. Hope you are doing well.
Sandy
She is a beautiful puppy, loves people and we are so grateful to you for the healthy start she had!!!!!
WOW! Thanks for putting Sage upfront!!!! Needless to say, we think she is a beauty. I did speak with Jennifer about transporting their puppy. I reassured her that all would be well. I am certain Ellie will arrive safe and sound. I think she is still a bit apprehensive, but that is to be expected. I do hope all is well with you. I visit your website often...love looking at your puppies. They are the best! Will keep in touch as Sage reaches milestones that amaze us. Such a smart little girl. Her beautiful blue eyes are now blue-green...they suit her name perfectly...
