Magic
Congrats to: Anthony and Hibo in California on this Red Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"This has been a great experience. Thank you for all the emails/updates. We have learned so much within the late few weeks. We will keep you updated."
Fitz: the red sable aussidoodle puppy
Congrats to: Nikki and William on this Apricot Tuxedo F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
We are loving having our little guy, so much love & happiness despite the increased workload - wouldn't change a thing! Vet appointment went well, said they should have videotaped his exam as he was the perfect example.
McCloud
Congrats to: Shauna and family from Brookline, MA on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We are so in love with McCloud. We’re so impressed with him! He is so well trained for his age and knows to use a pee pad when indoors. He’s so smart, I can’t believe it! He’s also doing so well at home adjusting and didn’t even cry in the crate last night at all!"
Izzy Blue
Congrats to: Reba on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
Izzy is doing amazing! She is sooo smart!(maybe a little too smart at times, haha) I found a solution to my bells on the doorknob issue that I mentioned previously (no handle on the door). I found an electronic doorbell called the Smart Bell by Mighty Paw. I installed it about a week and a half ago and everything finally “clicked” for Izzy a few days ago! She now knows to ring her doorbell every time she needs to go potty (only downside is that she thinks she should also ring it to go play outside). I have to try to remember to film her doing it and I’ll post it for everyone! Training is also going really well. She knows how to sit, lie down, come, and learned shake in two days! We are working on stay now—that’s a tough one. We weighed her and she is now 8.2 lbs (up from 4.2 at 8 wks)! Next vet appointment is the 20th for more vaccines. We are looking forward to when she is 16 weeks so she can start going on walks in our neighborhood and around town with us. This week we brought her with to go counter top shopping and everyone in the store fell in love!" - Reba
Sasha
Congrats to: Cindy and Tom from Pittsburgh, PA on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Sasha is doing great. She finished all her shots last Friday including the start of the lyme disease shot since PA is number 1 for lyme disease. She weighs 17 pounds - wow and the vet thinks she'll probably be 45 pounds, but he's not promising either way. Sasha has a great personality, she loves, loves, loves people. Everywhere we go, everyone we meet she loves people and will sit and wait for them to notice and talk to her if they don't:) She is so absolutely beautiful it is incredible and she is so very sweet. Our next door neighbors have two girls who come and play with her frequently - they are 4 and 7. She loves her girls and longingly sits looking at their house waiting for them to come and play. Sasha has had one private session with a trainer and she can sit, down, up and stand. She is walking on a leash and some days are better than others. She has had 3 weeks of puppy kindergarten with 4 other puppies who are all fairly close to her age. The first 2 weeks of class, she had no interest in free play and sat and watched. When the boys were rambunctious she came and hid under our chairs behind us. Last Thursday she was all in though and played with every puppy there, she just wanted to observe for awhile. She has had a few puppy playdates with a corgi, a six month old goldendoodle and a dachsund. They have all gone very well. Potty training is most of the way there - she has slept through the night since she was 9 weeks old. It's always our forgetting to take her out when there is an accident. She can go about 2 hours during the day. She has learned to sleep in on the weekends (til 7:30 or 8). She is up when she hears a sound during the week. She terrorizes her older cat brother Rex who does not understand how this puppy will not bend to his will:) We will probably do more private training. The trainer said she was so smart we'd be able to teach her lots of things. She crosses her feet quite a bit on her own, so we'll work on that one soon. We have been working hard to socialize her well and she doesn't respond to dogs, cats, squirrels, deer, etc. on walks." - Cindy
Atlas
Congrats to: Javier & Nilka on this Red Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Happy Holidays Awesome Doodle Family! Thank you for the greatest gift we had this year. We are truly grateful and enjoying every second with Atlas at home. Now, he is almost 7 months. He loves watching our neighbors kids getting off their school bus, is obsessed with frozen peanut butter (Kong brand), and is beyond a master in potty training along with other ~7 commands and counting!! He has done 5K race with us, loves attention and enjoys playing fetch with us. He has indeed being the greatest addition to our family and definitely want to express our gratitude." - Javier & Nilka Congrats to Javier and Nilka on this handsome boy.
Aya Belle
Congrats to: Brian & Sam from San Diego, CA on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We are absolutely in love with our 4 month old doodle, Aya❣️ She is just the sweetest, most loving, fun puppy. Everyone who meets her can’t help but gush about how beautiful her coloring is. We have been training her everyday and taking her with us pretty much everywhere we go, and it has really paid off. She is just so obedient, attentive and calm. She loves running in the yard and playing fetch, especially with duckie, her #1 toy! We couldn’t ask for a better pup." - Sam and Brian
Kona
Congrats to: Karen from Maryland on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
One week in and Kona is doing great! She got a clean bill of health from the vet, is eating well, sleeping without protest in her crate, is learning several easy commands, and using the litter box like a champ. We’re working on the transition to outdoor pottying too. The puppy crazy time is frequent and hilarious. Sometimes hard to distract her with toys, so that’s a work in progress. I think my favorite thing is to see her quietly observing us from her fenced off area of the kitchen, inviting us to come say hello and give her scratches. Thanks for the surprise gifts too! The tennis balls are a big hit. We’re having a great time with her! - Karen and family
Bert
Congrats to: Allyson from Seattle, WA on this F1 SheepaDoodle puppy.
"I wanted to give a quick update on Bert the 8 month old Sheepadoodle (Anna Banana x Indy). Now that he's outgrown many of his puppy woes, he truly is awesome, very sweet and well mannered! We took him camping for the first time this weekend and he slept in the tent like a champ!"
Hamilton
Congrats to: Jennifer and Chesney in New York on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Hamilton is just amazing! It’s hard to believe it’s only 2 months that he has been a a part of our family, because he just acclimated so quickly to our world and lifestyle! Favorite things: ANYTHING that Wilson has is exactly what he wants, even if he has the same thing :). Aside from that, he loves belly rubs, the cat, playing fetch, morning walks, training class, every person he meets, (regardless of its the first or hundredth time), his bed, crinkling water bottles, the pool, (water in general) his brother and above all, Chesney and me! I have yet to find anything he doesn’t like. Anything that he was leery of, we’ve conditioned him to accept it, like the vacuum and hairdryer. Socializing is a constant activity. Now that he’s all set on shots, we’ve really been hitting the town. He’s been to Rhode Island and Boston and played at several beaches and parks there. He’s stayed in 3 different hotels and met lots of new dogs and people of all shapes, sizes, colors, and abilities (dogs and people). We start every morning with our trail walks with dog friends where we work on calm greetings and lots of recall. He completed star puppy and is now in canine good citizen and will eventually test for TDI. He often goes into the office with me and will go into any store or restaurant that allows pups, even our bank! And always, people want to know what he is, and everyone wants to steal him! He had his first swim experience in a pool the other day, and loved it! He swam to Chesney and then just lounged in her arms then swam back to me on the steps and sat on the top step for a while. He’s going to try paddle boarding tomorrow and I’m sure he will be a natural like Wilson. His intelligence shows in so many ways! Quickness to learn new tasks and adjusting to new stimuli/situations are done with ease. He is the youngest dog in his training class and is often the one to demo in class. Wilson does rally course so Hamilton has learned several of those commands simply by emulating Wilson when we practice at home. He’s not to be outdone by big brother. He has mastered sit, stand, down, spin/turn and loose lead walking. He’s working on wait/stay, leave/drop, and calm greeting, recall is excellent, and ongoing. He’s potty trained, and is now maneuvering stairs up and down with ease. He rides calmly in the car for any duration. He has zero reaction to fireworks and thunder. He is starting to lose teeth. Hes chewing on lots of good toys and ice cubes to help in this process. He’s so tall and fluffy! He looks so funny when he’s wet because he’s so skinny under all that fluff! He weighs 17.5 lbs as of Monday. Our training plan is to continue with canine good citizen through completion and probably on to advanced obedience and/or rally. He won’t be able to test for therapy dog until he is one. Volleyball season starts in less than 3 weeks, so he will meet the team soon and he and Wilson will continue to bring smiles and joy to stressed coaches and players! (And overly anxious parents in the stands) he is such a snuggler and gives the best kisses! He is always so happy and full of bounce, everyone who meets him loves him! People and dogs alike! We could not be happier that he is ours!!" - Jenn
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!"
Blue
Congrats to: Sharon and Bill in Virginia on this Blue Merle F1b AussieDoodle puppy.
"Blue arrived home like she has always been here!! "
Huckleberry
Congrats to: Kyle in Missouri on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"It's been awesome. He is a great little guy. He does really well with his kennel. Still working on the potty training but he does decent with it. I'm really enjoying the little guy."
Gracie
Congrats to: Leigh, Joe & Luca on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"She is AMAZING! I hit the jackpot with this girl! She is sooo sweet and good! She did great last night, slept in crate from about 9:30-5:45 with waking 3 times whimpering, each time I took her outside, she peed and then went back in the crate. Cried for a couple mins and then would go back to sleep. We went out again at 5:45 and she peed again and then we came in and she ate. She chowed down on her food this morn and let me know she had to go out immediately after by going to the gate in the kitchen and whimpering. We went right back out and she pooped! Every pee and poop has been outside! I’m so impressed with her and hoping it’s not just beginners luck! She def had some puppy crazy time last night biting pants and hands. We were able to redirect her with a toy tho which was great! This morn we worked on some sitting and eye contact with little bits of chicken and she did great. The hardest part is getting my son not to chime in and distract her. I will have to make sure I do some training when he’s at school and occupied with something else, but right now he won’t leave gracies side! Overall she is transitioning nicely and we are all so in love already with this sweet sweet girl!" - Leigh
Tanner
Congrats to: Chris & Jennifer from Dracut, MA on this Black Tri-Color F1 BerneDoodle puppy.
"Tanner...11 weeks! He’s doing amazing! About 15.5 lbs and growing like crazy . Adjusting well! He’s a busy body but training is coming along. Sit, stay, down, he’s catching on. Potty training has gone well... he knows how to use the bells . Crate training is going ok.. it’s just when that door closes, he doesn’t like it but getting used to it. Definitely in puppy mode, nipping, play biting (trying to be armed with toys etc.....he’s just very fast ) Overall.....he’s a love and we couldn’t be more happy. Hope his siblings are doing well!" - Jennifer
Cooper
Congrats to: Rich and Lynn on this Black Tuxedo F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Cooper is doing great and we couldn't be happier with him. He was pretty much house trained on his 2nd day with us. He only had three accidents and two were our fault for not getting to the door on time. He loves his crate, and except for the first night with us rarely whines at night. He has slept until at least 4:30 every night. His training is going well as he learned sit and leave rather quickly. We continue to work on down, stay, and come. Our biggest issue is teaching him off as he gets his front paws up on the couch.
Franklin
Congrats to: Diana from Medford, MA on her new doodle boy! on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Just letting you know how well Franklin has been doing. He is in training and learning quickly. We are able to use commands and he responds during walks and at the park. He learned fetch after a couple weeks at home and he loves his bully sticks, chewing on ice cubes. He gets socialization with people and other dogs on our daily walks as we live in a city. He loves when people on the street give him attention and pets. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves playing at the park. On hikes he walks with us off-leash never straying away. Even passing other people and dogs he does not tend to run off. Dad walks him every day but mom is definitely his favorite. His weight was 14.6 pounds at 14 weeks vet visit. A few photos attached. There is no mystery as to who his father is. No Maury Povich paternity test needed :) Also, Tessa from 15th Aug Bernadoodle litter is his cousin and they play together every week." - Vincent & Diana
Odessa
Congrats to: Ara and Alice in California on this Phantom Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Odessa has been having a great time so far with her brother. She’s gone to the vet and just like Oscar had no issues with shots. She’s been to puppy class and at week one completed up to week 3 exercises to advance into the week 4 class, so it’s clear she’s very smart and capable. She was timid around the unknown puppies during playtime, but she loves playing with Oscar. I’m almost certain they could tell quickly they are siblings due to how instantaneously they were comfortable with one another. We’ve been keen to monitor and discourage any resource guarding on either side, and encourage sticking to their own toys or food or allow sharing when it’s calm and real sharing. Odessa has already started learning Release at home, which is good. And she’s rewarded for showing calm quiet behavior. Once she’s old enough we will teach her how to speak, whisper, and be silent like her brother."
Sparky Miguel
Congrats to: Paola and family from Ypsilanti , Michigan on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Sparky is doing great! He is pretty good at sit, stay and focus (eye contact), he’s also loving his crate and learning how to ring a bell for potty breaks ❤️, he is so smart! We are doing online training and so far so good, still trying to teach him some leash skills that’s what he struggles the most but we are on it!"
Pepper
Congrats to: Jesse, Renee, Ella, and Henry from Mooresville, NC on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
At 8 weeks, Pepper is off to a good start. We had our first Vet visit and we have the next one in another week to begin vaccinations. She is gaining weight and chewing on everything that we let her chew on. We have been working on a few small training sessions per day. After a $100 in an assortment of dog treats, she prefers boiled chicken. She is getting real good with sit and look at me, down and stay are 70/30. She is up-to 2 hrs when she is awake when it comes to wanting to go out. She has been getting a solid 5-6 hrs of sleep at night before she starts milling around in her pen. As long as she can see one of us, she seems content. We get her outside right away anytime she wakes from a nap and we have been very fortunate so far. We are working on fetch in the hallway. It’s early in the process. So far she hasn’t been afraid when meeting the neighbors which are all strangers to her. We wipe her down after every trip outside as the vet wants us to be very careful with her until we get through the vaccinations. So far, so good - Jesse
Ozzy
Congrats to: Lauren and Jason in Florida on this Black Tuxedo F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Hi! Ozzy has been doing amazing! We are amazed by how smart he is. We paid for a set of puppy group lessons and about half way through the trainer told us he has graduated and we should bring him to the adult group. He is her “star student”, but that’s not surprising! We work on training him in different environments, the vet tech was so impressed watching him “sit” and “wait” in the waiting area. Ozzy loves any one and any dog! He loves giving kisses and playing with all of his toys! His favorite is fetch. For more weeks than we should probably admit to, Ozzy has slept at the foot of our bed. He goes all night without any accidents!! His color is evolving every day, as of now he looks like he has a mask on and his inner ears are lined with silver! It’s adorable! Thank you for everything!"
AussieDoodle Puppy Spotlight
Congrats to: Sophia and Brad on this Black Bi-Color puppy.
"Kentucky" the puppy has far and away exceeded our expectations and dreams. He is so compassionate, intelligent, and loving. He is incredibly smart - he has learned so many tricks so easily, and really enjoys being challenged and trained. Definitely follow all of the training tips and advice from AwesomeDoodle; this breed is an interesting one to master and they has that knowledge to help you. Tux also has an amazing emotional intelligence, you can tell how important your approval is to him. Even though he challenges us regularly, he is always wanting to appease us and be loved. He's very high energy and attached to us, but we don't have a problem with that! AwesomeDoodle was a dream to get our dog from, as they genuinely cared about our pup's training and well-being, and our sanity through it! We had the lucky opportunity to meet Tux, and the AwesomeDoodle family, and even visit their home, before we decided to take home our Awesome Doodle. Talking to them and seeing how special their little family operation is, really sealed the deal. Thank you for my dream dog! And for those considering Awesome Doodle- know you're getting the best of the best. One other piece of advice: Pupperoni is the answer to every question!
Scarlett
Congrats to: Roberta from Minneapolis, MN on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
Hi Tom and Sharon, I just had our first meeting with our trainer. It was an amazing hour long training session. She has been a trainer in the for 20 years. She has a total positive reinforcement method. She was so impressed with Scarlett, said she had seldom seen a 12-week old puppy as well trained and responsive already as Scarlett. I told her about you guys and she said that the training you did with her was incredible. She said you are in the top tier of all breeders in the U.S. She also said she would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for an Aussiedoodle. She said Scarlett obviously has good genes, is one of the smartest puppies she has ever worked with, but also had an amazing start in life. Scarlett is a quick learner, wants to please, and has such a happy personality. The trainer was impressed with the fact that you have the puppy cam on all the time while the puppies are in the nursery. That just isn't done by most breeders. Thanks again for all you have done for her. The trainer said Scarlett is lucky to have me, I am lucky to have her, and our yard is a beautiful, big area for her. -- Roberta
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."
Toula
Congrats to: Teresa and family from Plymouth, MI on this Black Bi-Color F1b AussieDoodle puppy.
"Simply stated—she’s absolutely amazing! It’s incredible how quickly she’s adapted to her new surroundings. She does a wonderful job sitting, will lay down and come when called. She’s also doing a great job playing catch with us. She gets into her bed willingly and hasn’t cried once and from the second night home, she’s slept all night! Her vet appt went great and the dr and nurse immediately fell in love with this baby girl. She definitely gets puppy crazy time and has an affection for shoelaces and anything else we don’t want her to have haha We expend her energy by playing fetch and working with her on walking with a leash on. We also have several treat puzzles that she loves. She’s also mesmerized by the tv and will sit quietly and watch for several minutes. We couldn’t be more happy with this sweet girl and are so thankful that Awesome Doodle and Shannon gave her such a wonderful start."
Merlin
Congrats to: Dan and Lynnea in Washington on this Black Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Merlin is doing well. He definitely loves to be with us! We upgraded to a stronger carrier this past weekend so he can accompany us in the car for our weekly soccer practices/games. He has become quite the mascot both at the kids school and sport teams! We are sleeping better after a few weeks of figuring things out. Our nighttime routine now includes more intentional puppy play or at least better toys for him, rather than wrestling away towels and socks. :) He is also better at holding his bladder all the way downstairs to the outdoor exit. For the most part, he is getting lots of exercise because of morning walks, learning to fetch (tennis ball/frisbee/toys), and field play in the afternoons with kids. He has been healthy and so good at letting me bathe him and even brush those teeth/clip nails. Thanks for all the supportive advice and encouragement."
Enzo
Congrats to: Tracy and family from Kiowa, CO on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We’ve had our Aussiedoodle home now for 3 ½ weeks and he is super smart and doing great! He’s only had 2 accidents in the house since the day we came home otherwise he’s 100% outside or in the litter box if we are not fast enough. Enzo has learned sit, look, let’s go, leash, off, his name and here with success about 95% of the time even off leash and under distraction. He rarely jumps on us even when he’s excited. Chewing on everything to chewing on appropriate things got about 90% better in the first week as we just replaced inappropriate items with appropriate ones. Crate training is great, occasionally a wine or two when we first go to bed, but typically he puts himself to bed around 9:00, he gets a small playpen with a litter box and 2 toys in his crate and we don’t hear a peep until 6am, then he’s positive it’s time to get up. He takes naps in his crate during the day with the door shut and if I need to run an errand or go outside he stays in his crate, when I return he is just lying there settled. We are working on go to your bed on command and staying off the furniture…he struggles a bit with these two. He loves loves the blowdryer and thinks it’s a game when the air hits his face he bites it, he does pretty well with baths and grooming and is getting better every time. He is a little shy about new things but very quickly watches for a minute, then approaches and checks them out, decides they are OK and moves on, we rarely have to re-visit anything that was scary initially. He’s very calm, smart and well adjusted, we’ve had so much fun so far with him…he’s actually a little too smart for us sometimes!"
Dakota: Cinnamon merle aussiedoodle puppy
Congrats to: Savannah & Paul on this F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Dakota did so great on the way home! He just "chilled" in his crate. He has gone potty a lot, and seems to have a toy he loves already. We are so in love and hope he continues to do well."
Poppy: Blue Merle Doodle
Congrats to: Stephanie and family in Minnesota on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Poppy is doing great! She finished her two-week, full time puppy training and is now a pro at sit, down, and wait for it...as long as there are treats involved. She has slept through the night in her crate from day one and is starting to ring the bell when she needs to go out. She has made fast friends with our dog walker and charmed everyone in sight in her first trip to Home Depot last weekend. She's just about the perfect puppy. Except she's getting big too fast. Any advice on how to slow that down?"
Jordy
Congrats to: Diane and family on this Black Tuxedo F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Jordy had his vet check today and he is doing great!! He is a super little fluffy guy. So excited to have him in our family."
Casey
Congrats to: Jean & Don in Michigan on this Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We had a very easy 8 hour trip home today. We picked him up at 7:30. He settled right down in my lap with his piece of blanky from the whelping box and the yellow duck you sent and never made a peep. We stopped three times and I took him over to an unused area. He didn't like the wet grass so I took him to a spot with dry mulch and he peed immediately Repeat 2 more times. He is now cuddled up on my old dog's bed with duck and blanky, just happy not to be moving I think. I hand fed him some of his food and he took it perfectly. He pooped in the place we want him to go after eating. All is well now we have to wear him out for sleep tonight. Hope the crate at night goes well. He is so dear! Thanks for all the wonderful help."
EmmyLou
Congrats to: Stephen in Florida on this Black Bi-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
EmmyLou is perfect in every way. The airport pickup went well and the drive back to Sanibel Island was a good opportunity to begin bonding. She is happy and active. She has adapted completely to her new house and people. I am rather amazed at how relaxed and comfortable she is in her new situation. She has her vet appointment tomorrow. Thank to you and the other folks involved for making such a good experience for us and for EmmyLou. - Steve
Gidget
Congrats to: Melissa and family from Charlotte Hall, Maryland on this Blue Merle w/ White & Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Gidget is a wonderful puppy. She sits by nonverbal command, is learning to wait until allowed to go through door or eat, and continuing to work on place, down and come. She has yet to nip or bite us, but I think big sis, Sofie, gets it all (bonus to have two AussieDoodles). She also sleeps through the night (8-10 hours)- even if she drinks water before going to bed. Overall, our second AussieDoodle experience is wonderful! Natalie did a wonderful job!" - Melissa
Prim
Congrats to: Kana and family from San Mateo, CA on this Blue Merle w/ White & Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"It’s been 2 weeks since we brought Prim home from IN. Having two AwesomeDoodles is double the cuteness and fun, and (at times) triple the work, but we love having her as part of the family! Prim’s personality is really starting to come out as she gets more comfortable in the house. She is quiet, a little defiant, has a feisty side but is also super sweet & cuddly. She and Rogue (11 months old now) are becoming the best of friends. Their favorite games are chase & wrestling and we're teaching Prim fetch, which she's picking up fairly quickly. The biggest challenge with the two of them is separating them and forcing both of them to take naps throughout the day, because all they want to do is PLAY, PLAY, PLAY! We have taken Prim to a lot of stores, she's met our neighbors, some of our friends & family members & their dogs & horses at the stable where our younger daughter rides; she's done really well in every new environment. She knows how to show calm behavior really well, has mastered sit & knows her name. We're currently working on down, "look at me," and recall. She sleeps in her crate like a champ every night and for the last 5 nights has slept from 10pm to 6am without making a peep. We're still working on potty training during the day, but she's made a lot of progress in the last day. Thank you to the whole AwesomeDoodle team for these two amazing pups! Never did we think that we would go from NO dog to two dogs in one year, but we can't imagine our family without them." - Kana, JM, Anabelle & Sofia
Sitka
Congrats to: Emily and family from New Ulm, MN on this Black Bi-Color F1b BerneDoodle puppy.
"Sitka has been home for a week now! He loves: naps, meeting new people and dogs, running in the snow, his crate, and rope toys. He is the sweetest pup, as long as we aren’t in crazy puppy time. 😉" - Emily
Lexi
Congrats to: Steve and family in California on this Black Bi-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Everything is good. Nothing too challenging typical puppy stuff getting her acclimated to California time is getting better. She’s doing fine in the crate she’s doing fine with potty training (few accidents) we’ve done a lot of socializing friends family and Father’s Day. She’s been everywhere but the pet store with us and she has a Vet appt. tomorrow. Having are other dog here I think helps from not missing momma and litter mates too much"
Luna
Congrats to: Chris and Rachael from Pennsylvania on this Phantom Red Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
We were just outside playing and I took a couple of pictures so you could see how Luna has grown and what she looks like now. She really is a beautiful girl and we love her dearly. She is sleeping through the night and has been since day one. We have been exercising her brain with training and taking walks, playing ball and frisbee to exercise her body. She isn’t quite getting the hang of fetch. We will keep trying. Her enthusiasm to chase our 8.5 month old AussieDoodle overrides the desire to chase the ball. I think we just need to work with her without Jasper. We will keep you posted and send pictures as she grows so you can show others what similar colored pups will look like as they mature. All our best! Chris, Rachael, Jasper, and Luna
Tundra
Congrats to: Kate and Chris from San Bruno, CA on this F1 SheepaDoodle puppy.
"Tundra, just hit 7-months old. She's about 55 lbs, and with how she's been eating the last week she's probably got another growth spurt left in her! She passed Puppy+ training last week, and will be starting Obedience 2 classes at the local Zoom Room. This has helped her focus when there's distractions, and increased her patience. Tundra loves our house guests, neighbours, mailman and anyone she meets at the dog park. If they bend down, she loves to lean in to them and lick their faces, and if they don't she might even try and jump up to lick them. She gets a lot of exercise playing with neighbourhood dogs, and loves to play tug and chase in the backyard (she lets us know which one). She does well at the off-leash dog park too, she goes off and explores on her own but comes back to us as we move along. And she gets along with every dog she meets, and has learned to match their energy/play style. We bath her usually a couple times a week, particularly if it was rainy out and she got a bit muddy or sandy. She's very tolerant of our attempts to DIY groom, we've graduated from trimming her eyes and doing her nails to using clippers to buzz her coat back. She also has gotten to be quite smart, she rings the bells to go outside and she sits in front of the kitchen sink to ask for water. She's also a bit of a watchdog. She likes to sit on the couch and watch out the window and sometimes warn us when people go by. She also does this from our back deck. All in all we love her very much, she's really coming along well as a great dog and we get a ton of compliments on her looks and behaviour!"
Maverick
Congrats to: Janie and Christopher in Washington, D.C on this Black Tuxedo F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"He is truly the best and too smart for his own good. He is very obedient and a social butterfly. When we go to the dog park he greets every dog and human that stops by like they’re old friends. He loves sprinting and herding other dogs at the dog park, but don’t ask him to give the ball back because he just wants to play tug-a-war. He should also win an Oscar for when he plays dead. Maverick always wants to be close and get pet. I couldn’t imagine a better companion or cuter face to come home to. Thank you AwesomeDoodle for giving me my best doggy friend!" - Janie and Christopher
Coco Bi-Color AussieDoodle
Congrats to: Dale & Robert on this Black Bi-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Coco finally made it home to us this morning!! She is doing beautifully, and already adjusting to her new home in California. We’ve been exploring the front and back yards, as well as the kitchen, and even tried our first training session! The bells are on the door, so we’re working on everything out of the gate. On to the vet this afternoon. It’s a lot for the first day, but she seems to be adjusting really well and she has the sweetest disposition. Not a peep out of her on her long flights home - she started losing patience literally the last mile! She’s wonderful and we’re totally in love. Thank you!"
Tulio
Congrats to: Armando and family from Mexico City, CDMX on this Blue Merle F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Tulio is the smartest pup I’ve ever worked with, sit, look at me and coming when called are going pretty well. In fact I’m starting to tech him fetch, down, and go to your place. Crazy puppy time is the funniest time of the day, a challenge but really fun if lured to a play session."
Sadie
Congrats to: Kelley and family from Parker, CO on this Blue Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Sweet Sadie has been an amazing addition to our family. She loves to go for motorcycle rides, meet new people and never be too far from her humans. Even after getting injured while she was very young in a meet and greet with some other dogs, she is fearless and loves everyone she meets."
Ruby
Congrats to: Lisa & Zachary on this little beauty! on this Red Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Hello! She is doing wonderful!! She sleeps all night in crate next to me and does not make a sound until she sees me get up😊 she has mastered sit, down, eye contact, and fetches ball about 80% of time. She is about 60% potty trained. Pee is doing much better than poop😐 she is a road warrior and loves car rides. She gets very excited when meeting someone new😬. We just love her and do not know what life was like without her😍" - Lisa

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."
Teagan
Congrats to: Tara and family from Renton, WA on this Black Tri-Color F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"Teagan is a sassy, fluffy ball of energy."
Kip Black Tuxedo AussieDoodle : July 2018 ADOTM
Congrats to: Chris and Helen in California on this Black Tuxedo F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
Kip is a mischievous little smartypants. Our trainers are super impressed with how quickly he learns new tricks and how easy he is to train. Kip is smart and he knows not to play with shoes on the rack or pull items from the table. However, if we accidentally leave shoes/towels/socks on the floor, Kip will wait until we're not looking and play with them like toys. I guess that gives us extra motivation to be tidy... Kip is a super food-motivated puppy. If there are treats involved, Kip's eyes are on you and he will be on his absolute best behavior. Kip. loves. food. He also loves people. Every time someone walks by him, he gives them that puppy-dog stare in hopes of getting any sort of attention. He loves going to daycare to play with his furry friends. We'll hand him to the daycare staff and he'll literally run inside without looking back at us. Kip is also an adventure dog. At 6 months old, he's been to Los Angeles, D.C., Monterey/Carmel, Stanislaus National Forest, and numerous beaches. He does have his fair share of dislikes. Kip really dislikes the vacuum cleaner and actually once piddled in our apartment because he was so scared. We're working with our trainer to help him feel more comfortable around it. He also dislikes getting his teeth brushed, ocean waves, the Swiffer Sweeper, Taste of the Wild kibble (haha), and a certain Bernedoodle in our building who obnoxiously barks at anything with 4 legs. We love our little guy and we can't imagine life without him! We look forward to sharing many more adventures together. Thank you AwesomeDoodle for bringing Kip into our life!
Brandy
Congrats to: Pam and John S on this Red Phantom F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We LOVE Brandy. Very, very smart. Training going well. Brandy is the sweetest, loving, gentle dog. She and our Goldendoodle get along famously. She loves everyone and even other dogs that come for a visit! She weighs 34.3 lbs at 6 months old She’s 21 inches tall from floor to top of shoulders."
Ollie
Congrats to: Beth and family in Maryland on this Red Merle w/White F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ollie. He is a true joy and we all love him to pieces. He is easy going and loving. He is a great to cuddle with and lets me lay my head right on him as a pillow. He is bouncy and always smiling. What a great friend to come home to at the end of a work day. He is also a great hiker and we often go on 5 mile hikes. I can’t imagine our lives without him. Thanks AwesomeDoodle!" - Beth
Otis
Congrats to: Adam and Sheila in Washington. on this Blue Merle w/ Copper F1 AussieDoodle puppy.
"We received Otis this morning at the Portland airport with the Puppy Nanny. We couldn’t believe how handsome of a boy he is and super sweet! Our family couldn’t be happier with him!! He and our current dog, Zoë, have already been running and playing doggy tag together in the backyard. I haven’t heard my girls giggle that hard in a while! Too funny. I wanted to personally thank you guys for how much time and energy you guys put into each and every puppy, it shows! I also wanted to thank you for the items you guys sent us through Amazon. Otis loves his squeaky duck. We’ll be staying in touch and updating you guys with his transition here in WA."
