Sestra
Congrats to: Kim and family from High View, WV on this Black Tuxedo F1b AussieDoodle puppy.
"It's hard to believe we've had Sestra for 9 weeks already. It's been a lot of fun watching the dynamic between her and Hemi and they've fast become the best of buds. It's been amazing getting a second AwesomeDoodle. The challenges I had with Hemi are virtually non-existent with Sestra, and I give Hemi all of the credit for that as he is the one that takes the brunt of Sestra's puppy crazy time and incessant biting. Hemi has been a real trooper and because he's the one to burn off her energy, she's quite the lovable, calm, snuggle bug with us. It's been absolutely great. Her training has gone extremely well and I'm still shocked at how well she listens for a 4 month old puppy. I attribute this to Hemi as he seems to have taught her the cues to the behaviors we're expecting. She has a fantastic "sit" and "down", a very strong "leave it", "stay" and "release" and a pretty good "come" (excellent without distractions, and pretty decent when outdoors with distractions). She understands and complies with "off" and "enough" (used to calm her when she becomes exceptionally rowdy with Hemi) and is spectacular with our "no bite" command which has prevented many holes in us, Hemi, and our blankets! She's been taught to ring bells to both go out and to come back in and she's been consistently utilizing them for several weeks now. She's only met a few other dogs so far and was a little timid with my sister's humongous 100+ pound golden retriever and incredibly tall and rambunctious mixed breed shepherd, but after her initial reluctance, she was accepting, if not fully appreciative, of their attention. She absolutely loves people and her little tail starts wagging when she sees people even at a distance. She's a wonderful traveler and has adapted fabulously to traveling and living in our camper. She rides on our ATV with us and did absolutely great on a recent trip to an ATV park; she wasn't scared at all of the noise and commotion and would just wag her tail when other people rode by. She has developed a respectful relationship with my chickens and is able to mingle with them while they're free ranging. Stuart the Rooster has accepted her into his flock and she has a healthy understanding of which hens prefer she stays further away so she wisely keeps her distance from them. :) We couldn't be happier with her and we're so glad we decided to get a second AD. She has a great personality, she's a nice size, she's been a wonderful friend for Hemi, and a lovable and attentive companion for us. We love her to death and pray she lives a super long and healthy life with us and her big brother, Hemi Doodle. I also wanted to let you know that our second experience with AwesomeDoodle was even better than the first (this time we got to watch the puppy cam!!) so thank you for being a wonderful resource and a great breeder. A special thanks to Michelle and Mark who we have no doubt influenced the snuggly personality and foundational training for Sestra. You guys rock!"
Georgia (Georgie) Grace
Congrats to: Anne and family from Houston, Texas on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Thanks so much for all the updates along the way. They have been super helpful!! Georgia (Georgie) Grace is doing great! She is just the best dog! She is very social, loves all people and dogs. We have gone to quite a few outings with lots of people and she’s done really well. She’s very brave and willing to try anything. In the training department she is truly amazing. I knew she would be smart but she picks up on things MUCH quicker than I every imagined. We have sit down, and rollover and potty training is at 99.9% with doggie door and going out all on her own. We are working on come when called (with distractions) and she could play center field for any MLB team!! She looooves balls and will play forever just fetching and bringing back. We have enrolled in puppy school and had our first lesson last week and she was top of the class! I couldn’t be happier with her. Thanks for all the tips along the way!"
Cooper
Congrats to: Samantha and family from Trumbull, CT on this Blue Merle w/ White & Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Cooper is doing great with his commands! He is crazy smart and will do just about anything for his chicken treats lol. He definitely tests us with his crazy puppy time though. Lately if we tell him “off” or “no” or “leave it” when he’s biting on something he’s not supposed to he goes ballistic and growls/barks and bites at us. We know it’s not forever but those sharp little teeth sure do hurt! But he is such a love and truly a good boy when he’s not acting like a maniac. We couldn’t be more thankful to Natalie and Kris for the wonderful work they did from the get go with him!"
Tessa
Congrats to: Paula and family from Noblesville, IN on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Just wanted to let you know Tessa is amazing…. 25 pounds of sweetness. Well behaved, gentle, loves any age people and dogs. Easy to train. Silly and goofy… We can’t write enough of what joy she had brought to us. We would recommend Darla puppies and AwesomeDoodle with confidence."
Hopper
Congrats to: Shae and family from Shawnee, Oklahoma on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"I just wanted to update you to tell you Hopper is the best dog for our family! He is fun, adventurous, active, cuddly, a lil ornery, but so so happy. He goes off to training in two weeks to start the process of becoming a therapy dog so he can come to work with me (I’m an LPC, LMFT). He enjoys car rides, trips to lowes, playing with kids, other dogs, kayaking, and even in water. I just wanted to share that he is the perfect fit for [us]."
Miss North Dakota USA, gets an AwesomeDoodle
Congrats to: Congratulations Jaci and her Husband Kolt on this Blue Merle w/White puppy.
"The reason I chose AwesomeDoodle for my new little AussieDoodle puppy wasn't just because they have pretty puppies. In fact, when I signed up, my puppy wasn't even born yet. I chose AwesomeDoodle after I studied their website, and saw how much time and energy they put into their puppies. AwesomeDoodle offers a unique experience, allowing you to know exactly how and where you puppy is being raised. I valued having a relationship with the people raising my puppy. Not only did I get that, I got to SEE my puppy being raised, and bond with my aussiedoodle before I even met it; I watched him every day on the puppy cam. I saw everything. I saw Tom, Diane, & Morgan getting in the puppy box - petting him and loving on him. I saw how he played with his litter mates. I felt like I knew him so entirely before I even held him or brought him home. There's no other breeder doing anything like this. We're hooked."
Willow
Congrats to: Seve and family from Fort Worth, TX on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We love our little Willow, she's great. - She loves rope toys and playing fetch. She also enjoys going on walks/hikes and travelling. She loves playing with other dogs and meeting people! The vet called her one of the most well behaved dogs he's ever worked with. - She does not like greenies or going potty with the sprinklers on haha. - We take her almost everywhere with us. We love going out for food and drinks at restaurants and breweries with patios and she enjoys watching other people and dogs and getting loved on by anyone who passes by. - She learns commands very quickly but she is also stubborn so she will stare us in the eyes and disobey when she feels like it. But she's too cute to get angry at! - She works well with commands but we are working on backyard barking and pulling on the leash but other than that, she does great. She started sleeping through the whole night the second night we had her! We will find some videos to send but her instagram is @_willow.doodle. Thank you so much for being there for us!!"
Binkley
Congrats to: Max and family from Los Angeles, CA on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Binkley has been home for a little more than 24 hours now. She is unbelievably sweet and smart and brave even when being sniffed inquisitively by a cat four times her size. She was offering calm behaviors (for chicken treats) right out of the gate and slept in her crate almost seven hours straight the first night. Hopefully we’ll be lucky again on the second. Thank you to the wonderful folks at AwesomeDoodle for raising such great pups."
Kenai
Congrats to: Beth & Don and family from Parkton, MD on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"I just wanted to share a quick update on Kenai. This is our 3rd awesomedoodle. Kenai, is an amazing pup. I am really shocked and super happy with his personality. He is really laid back, which our other 2 never were. He settles down very easily (except during puppy crazy time) and has slept in his crate with very little crying since we got him. He is afraid of our other dogs a bit, but, slowly that is getting better. He has hardly had an accident in the house. I just felt like I wanted to write because we have other dogs to compare him to and he seems extra special. I really hope people adopt the rest of the pups in the litter soon as they are in for a real treat. We just love him to pieces. Hats off to Christie and her family for molding him into a great puppy."
Finley (Finn for short!)
Congrats to: Lori and family from Sea Bright, New Jersey on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"I just wanted to send along a note letting you know that we literally have the BEST dog on the planet!! No joke - I feel like we won the lottery with Finn. He’s beyond kind, playful, loving, smart. The perfect mix of everything!! Every time we go away (twice now), the whole trip is about how much we miss Finn!! Anyhow, thought this might brighten your Monday. You guys run a great business and I thought you should know!"
Angel
Congrats to: Kathryn and family from Parkland, FL on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We chose the name Sparkle before our puppy arrived. When we realized how sweet she is, we renamed her Angel. This being our first pup, it is hard to believe how sweet and well behaved she is. She truly is our little Angel. We are grateful for the joy that Angel inspires in us and in everyone she meets. The VIP information on the Awesome Doodle site has been a big help with bringing Angel into our home, and in training us how to be Angel's people. Many thanks to the Awesome Doodle Family!"
BluBelle
Congrats to: Patti and family from Driftwood, Texas on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Thank you so much for all the videos and pictures. This girl has my heart! They do such a good job with these pups and it shows in the temperament of BluBelle. It definitely makes it easier for me. Please tell Michelle thanks for us! BluBelle adjusted so well to us and our home today!"
Luna
Congrats to: Sarah and family from New Smyrna Beach, FL on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Luna is a cuddle bug. She loves people more than anything. She loves her snacks more than her meals. She has no boundaries and does not respect ours. Luna changed our lives for the better."
Izzy-Bella
Congrats to: Marilyn and family from Columbia, TN on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We picked up our puppy yesterday. She has had an easy transition to our home. Put her in the kennel last night. Nancy played classical rest music at night, so we played the same thing. Within five minutes, she calmed and went to sleep. Took her to the vet and pet store today. Everyone she meets says she is beautiful. They also comment on how sweet and laidback her personality is. No accidents so far. The only time she didn’t get outside was my fault, so she used the litter box. What an Awesome Doodle. Thank you to everyone who helped us with getting Bella. Even when I was crazy puppy mama-to-be you were very helpful. I want to especially thank Nancy as she did a great job raising these puppies."
Cosmo
Congrats to: Stephanie and family from Seattle, WA on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Cosmo is doing great! He has quickly learned to sit, up, stand, down, leave it and watch! We are amazed at how fast he is learning."
Bean
Congrats to: Karley and family from Chicago, IL on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Hello, thank you so much for all of your support along the way! Bean is so, so perfect and we cannot imagine our life without her. Overall Bean has just done such an amazing job, and we fully credit AwesomeDoodle! Diane and Morgan started her off with such an amazing foundation, and all of the training videos and informational materials have helped us continue to support her growth. I have friends who got a puppy the same time we got Bean and hearing their struggles with potty training alone made me feel so grateful to have gone through awesome doodle. We would truly have had no clue what to do without you!" - Karley
Twix
Congrats to: Wendy and family from Humble, Texas on this Black Phantom F1b AussieDoodle puppy.
"Twix Thunderpaw is the cutest little busybody around. He is learning how to walk on a leash without tripping us left and right....definitely a work in progress ? but he’s mastered sit, down, and shake. Smart little guy (Thank you Martha❣️)"
Enzo
Congrats to: Heidi and family from Brookings, Oregon on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Enzo is doing great! My three year old cockapoo is getting more exercise than ever! Enzo is learning sit and come. He has work to do with coming when called. He is sweet and learning good manners! He loves to chase and play with my older dog. He is a joy!!"
Bailey
Congrats to: Bob and family from Bay City, Michigan on this Apricot Bi-Color F1b AussieDoodle puppy.
"Sit, eye contact is good. Working on come when called. Bailey comes about 70% but is easily distracted by geese and golfers going by (we live next to a golf course with a pond between us and a fairway). Just started spot training. He seems to be picking it up. Potty training has good days and slip ups but over all not bad. Bailey is a real people puppy. Took him to a senior assisted living facility and he sat quietly while the people petted him. Great pet. Really appreciate all the support from AwesomeDoodle."
River MKC
Congrats to: Kimberly and family from Noblesville, IN on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"AwesomeDoodle changed the way I view the process of having an adorable new baby join my family. AwesomeDoodle dotted all the I’s and crossed all the T’s with every step of the way being a meticulous journey. The entire experience was stellar and allowed me to bond to my new baby before ever bringing him home. The 24/7 customer service and webcam put my mind at ease as I anxiously waited for my turn to have him in my arms. The personalized weekly photos and videos from my reputable breeder permitted me to see his transformation and growth. I was also thrilled that AwesomeDoodle promoted and established training and care after I pick up my baby. The entire experience was outstanding and one that reassured me that I made the right decision. Thank you for the gift of my baby River, he is the love of my life."
Oliver — Ollie
Congrats to: Susan and family from Lebanon, TN on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Ollie is taking the transition like a champ! He has such a calm disposition that nothing has bothered him yet, not even the vacuum, or an indoor volleyball match. He acted like he'd won the lottery when he was introduced to our big standard poodle. They are fast friends. He has settled in so quickly it's difficult to believe it's only been over a week since we picked him up. He is a beautiful pup with a sweet, lovable, people loving personality!"
Koda
Congrats to: Paul and family from Spicewood, TX on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Koda is doing great! We started puppy class the week she got home (local place offers a sanitized environment for pups not fully vaccinated) and she’s been super well behaved with the other pups and gets along with everyone. She’s also extremely focused for her age and equally motivated by treats or toys. She has excellent eye contact and will offer calm behaviors even when there are distractions. We started day one with behavior shaping, but that quickly transitioned to learning commands. By week 10 she had sit, down, stay, shake, rollover all nailed down. Our favorite is “play dead” after a finger pistol “bang” motion? Toy-wise she takes after her mom Juno as a fetch machine, and naturally caught on to the idea of bringing the ball back to us, and will calmly sit until we throw it again. She also seems to have inherited Charlie’s temperament as she is a small dog without any of the yippy and annoying small dog characteristics. The only real challenge we’re still working on is separation anxiety. She’s a total velcro dog and doesn’t enjoy being alone. She’s content in her crate for the most part, so we’re slowly working on making that her safe space to be alone in. Thanks!"
Lincoln
Congrats to: Elizabeth and family from Manhattan, New York on this Blue Merle w/ White & Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We hope you’re well! We just wanted to say thank you and update you that Lincoln is doing great! He is such a sweet and calm little love, with of course healthy bursts of fun and adorable puppy play. We can absolutely see that he was very well taught to keep all four paws on the ground, to be calm around kiddos and all people, and to potty outside or in the litter box, although he definitely prefers outside. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Vader
Congrats to: Katie and family from Newport, KY on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"The sweetest troublemaker I have ever met"
Grizzly
Congrats to: Anu and family from Sharon, Ma on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Thank you awesome doodle!! Grizzly is a total love and has completed our family!!! He is the most gentle, fun loving puppy and has filled our home with a special love we didn’t know was missing! We are working hard on potty training and he is sleeping through the night - which has been an amazing bonus in these puppy days!!! My two boys have greatly benefited from his calm and loving demeanor and he is a total joy to be around!"
Miso
Congrats to: Alex and family from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, OH on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Miso is an adventure loving pup! He loves to explore the outdoors any chance he can get!"
Oscar
Congrats to: Lázaro and family from Juncos, Puerto Rico on this Black Tri-Color F1 BerneDoodle puppy.
Oscar is behaving 70% to what our goal is, he stays when commanded for long periods of time, bitting is almost none, walking with leash is almost perfect, he understands down and reacts immediately as same as no, boundaries we have for him are about 80% followed, no fences. With food change we had no problem and he is SUPER with my two kids, tender and lovable. WE LOVE OSCAR !
ZuZu
Congrats to: Diane and family from Easton, PA on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Absolutely in love with our new little girl Zuzu!!! She was a dream on the 9 hour car ride from Kentucky to PA and slept the majority of the way home in my lap or snuggled by my side ? She had some BIG puppy crazy time last night once we got her settled home, but is pretty outgoing, calm, and super snuggly when in non-crazy mode. She is whip smart and learning SO quickly. These are truly genius dogs!" - Diane
Tango
Congrats to: Kreg and family from Belleair Beach, FL on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"It’s been a while, but I wanted to acknowledge the incredible experience we had with your Awesome Doodle team and the fabulous care and environment Nancy provided the litter that gave us Tango. He is an amazing puppy and has become a vital part of our family. Thank you for all you do!"
Pickles
Congrats to: Angie and family from Charlestown, MA on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Our Pickles is the LOVE OF OUR LIFE. I've never met a more calm, well behaved, loving and BEAUTIFUL puppy. He melts everyone's heart who meets him. He's playful and fun outside with other puppies and calm, sweet and cuddly inside with EVERYONE!! We are beyond grateful for this perfect little angel."
Sgt Pepper
Congrats to: Leslie and family from Saint Petersburg, FL on this Black Phantom F1b AussieDoodle puppy.
"I had a great experience with Awesome Doodle and with Martha. I think it's great how this website can connect you to family breeders around the country who you know are going to provide a loving childhood home for the puppies to grow up in during some of the most pivotable weeks of their lives. I loved being able to see my puppy in the web cam and had it open as often as I could. My coworkers and I would watch it at work, trying to figure out which puppy was mine. By the time I went to pick up my puppy, I knew all the dogs by name. Sgt Pepper loves people more than anything, and she loves to cuddle. She was timid at first, but has become brave. We go swimming at the beach, kayaking, and playing at the park. She has beautiful copper markings that are getting more visible as she gets older. She weighs around 20 pounds and has gotten nice long poodle legs. She is full of personality and life. She is such a great dog and worth the wait."
Georgie
Congrats to: Tim and family from St Paul, MN on this Apricot Bi-Color F1b BerneDoodle puppy.
"Georgie is weighing in at about 8.75 lbs (almost 14 weeks old), and is so darn smart! He is learning things so quickly...not all of these things are good things, but it has been pretty easy to redirect his attention to more positive behaviors. We just love this little fur ball so much!"
Blaze
Congrats to: Patricia and family from Dallas, TX on this Blue Merle w/ White & Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Blaze is an Awesome Doodle. Probably 22 people in the last 2 days stopped us and asked where she is from, and I said Awesome Doodle from Michigan! She picked an old purse of mine from when I lived in California. She has her leash, her baby and her chewy rope and blankie in there…she hops in and barks at me…that means she wants to go ridin’ in the car. If I do not respond quickly she will get the leash and pull it out of her purse and run around until she has my undivided attention. She is hilarious!!! Shannon, thank you for this precious angel!!!"
Rae
Congrats to: Diane and family from Queen Creek, Arizona on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"After an 18 hr round trip?? journey, Rae is home ?? Can’t say enough about Diane and Morgan?? Rae is confident, a snuggler, smart as heck and full of vim and vigor (lots of positive energy?) Couldn’t ask for for a sweeter puppy and a better experience! Makes the waiting well worth it!!" - Diane
Bali
Congrats to: Frances and family from Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico on this Blue Merle w/ White & Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Bali is doing great! Crazy time has been minimum, we have a 11 yr old Westie and they love each other, she is obsessed with him LOL. She learns super quick, anything you teach she will learn the first time right away. She is now about 6.5lbs, still wondering how big will she get. She has truly brought tons of joy to our home, she is super loving and such a good girl! She just got her 3rd round of vaccines so hoping to start training classes soon."
Nauset
Congrats to: Emily and family from Collegeville, PA on this Chocolate Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"First off, thank you for making the process of getting a puppy (a first for our family—we have never had a dog) so enjoyable. Second, the guides and videos, suggestions of toys/treats/crates were invaluable. And lastly, thank you for giving us the missing piece to our family puzzle. My husband and I have one daughter, now 9. We fell into our routine and were very happy just being the “three musketeers”. It’s a hard transition to go from your uninterrupted daily schedule of 3 to having a puppy (aka newborn). But we literally can’t imagine what life without her would be like. She’s SUCH A GOOD DOG!!!!! We stuck to all your advice and training and everyone says she’s a polite puppy with a BIG personality. Nauset does her commands flawlessly (sit, stay, “more”—taps our knee with nose instead of jumping for food)—unless she’s mad about something then she acts a tad sassy which is still cute?. But she loves us too much to hold onto it. She is absolutely gorgeous—we get stopped daily and asked where we got her and always point them in your direction. Most of all, Nauset knows we are her people and she is our family—we would do anything for her. We love her so much and she shows us love everyday. My daughter got her fur sister and Nauset has completed our family without a doubt."
Blue
Congrats to: Azalea and family from Palmetto Bay, FL on this Blue Merle w/ White & Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Thank you so much for all the tips & info.. it has helped so much. We truly appreciate it and AwesomeDoodle is absolutely amazing. I already told the fam “we should think of getting another one” lol Blue is doing amazing, he is growing by the day!! A little out of hand with the barking but thanks to the Facebook group I've gotten great advice that seems to be working. Your pups are amazing..so smart too!"
Okra
Congrats to: Emily and family from Washington, DC on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We picked up Okra one week ago today and he has absolutely stolen our hearts. The pickup process was so smooth and easy, and Okra slept in our laps or calmly watched the road the whole 8-hour drive home. He’s already learned “sit,” “down,” “drop it,” and his name, sleeps in his crate through the night without issue, and has never had an accident in the house. We are still in a bit of shock at what a smart and eager-to-please pup he is! Thank you so much to Morgan and Diane for raising such amazing puppies and to AwesomeDoodle for making sure the whole process was seamless, and for sending all of the helpful training articles and videos. These are such smart dogs!" - Emily
