Pico is doing great and had his vet appointment yesterday.  We all absolutely love him! I attached a couple of pictures--one where he is on a walk with our youngest, and another where he is playing in the snow with our oldest. Our twins also love playing with Pico, but those two are just balls of energy and tend to be blurry in all their pictures.

Hi!
  It’s been busy but a lot of fun! Mochi is adorable and very smart. He already knows how to sit, down, stay, come, and leave it. He loves his toys, snuggling, and meeting new people!

My dear sweet Mary Ann,
I have to report that Toby is doing so great!!!  He is already sleeping all night long - 8+ hours. He is smart. Already learned a few commands “come, sit, stay” and is fast learning our routine.
He is such a joy and blessing!

Hi Mary Ann. Thought you might like to see Cody after his first grooming. He's doing really well​ .

Good Morning Mary Ann,
​Hope you are all doing great!!
We send love and best wishes to all of you.
Phinney Boy is the absolute best puppy, we love him so much.
Getting ready to see Julie, she had her gall bladder out yesterday.
Her puppies are fantastic too.
Much Love, Lisa

​Good morning ...
We do not have a name yet, but Melly did great on the ride home. The kids were excited to meet him. He is signed up for vet appointments and Puppy kindergarten. 
He did well in his crate last night. He did not cry at all. He already has begun doing his business in the yard. Hopefully he figures it out completely as scheduled.
Thanks for the beautiful dog. Will keep you posted. 
Thanks  ,Marc

Hi Mary Ann, 
Xena is just wonderful. So sweet and lots of energy! She and Xander are getting along famously!
Hope you had/are having safe travels and enjoyed the desert. So lovely to meet you too! When you get a chance, we’d love to see the photos of us with Xena and Xander last week.  
Best,
Julia & Tony

Hi Mary Ann! Moose is doing wonderful! We all love him so much and he’s getting along great here :) I’ll make sure to send you pics as he gets bigger! Thank you so much for helping bring us such a wonderful member of the family.

Eric and Staci - and their sweet family, now have Biggie Smalls.  He has a wonderful family to be a part of.  

Mark and Amy - here in MO have gotten 3 of our Aussiedoodles.  Sully was the first one, then one for Mark's mom - and most recently - they purchased Cora, for Mark's dad - so he could have a walking buddy.
You can see how Sully comes alive when the fridge is opened - and you can see how nice it is for Sully and Cora to become good friends.

Tomi, on the right, is one of our F1 Aussiedoodles from Sheila and Barney - she is living the good life in South Carolina with Mark, Faby, Siri and Mika.  

​​Hi Mary Ann,  Merry Christmas to you, Jeff, and family! Hope all is well with you guys.  Here’s how Bailey enjoys her Christmas in warm south Florida! She’s relaxing for a nap and playing in the yard with her little cousin Leo (a Bichon mix). Bailey is a healthy, happy, loving little puppy who now weighs 14.8 pounds.  I’ll send a few more update photos ASAP.             Mike & Family

Romeo is one year old and loved so much! Romeo makes me laugh every day! He loves dog parks and has a reputation as the most playful of all the other puppies. We have hiked to more than 50 waterfalls in North Carolina. Romeo travels very well as he has been to Hilton Island, SC twice, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee. He played well with our 6 grandchildren. Romeo goes everywhere with us and is treated like a celebrity. He did get bigger than we expected, 65 pounds! We wouldn't have him any other way. He is so smart! Romeo does many tricks and most often hikes off-leash in woods to the waterfalls. Thank you so much for wonderfully great dog!   Cher and Charlie

Rory Rosebud and Della May are sisters, and they belong to cousins.  Here are pics and notes we have gotten.  :o) ~~
"I intended to send you a note much sooner, but just wanted to let you know how smitten I am with Rory! She’s doing great—weighs in at about 14 lbs at just over 4 months!  Her sister Della is doing great in Seattle as well. Jenny told me she weighed in at 15 lbs at the vet yesterday—Rory’s closing the gap on her!  Pictures of both girls attached. 
​Thanks again for sending me the furry luv of my life! She’s getting a groom next week, so I may need to find a new nickname—“Fluff Nugget” May no longer be appropriate!  Regards, Lisa
    "Hi Maryann!  Just wanted to send an update on Della May.  She is so wonderful and we are loving watching her grow up.  She has her first obedience training tonight and we are excited.  She has already learned sit, lay down, and we are working on off!  She is doing great and turns everyone’s heads at the dog park.  She’s so cute!  Thanks again for allowing us to be her parents!"  Jenny

 "We received our baby formerly “Goldie” and we are absolutely in love with her. Waffles loves playing with her big sis Daisy (Goldendoodle) and our neighbor Flash (Australian Shepherd). She is absolutely adorable and we are so thankful of her. Here are a couple pics of her!   Andrew & Sarah"  ~~  new pictures added 8/2019 "Our sweet baby is growing up so fast! She is such a sweetheart and we love her so much!!"

Hi Mary Ann!
   We just wanted to give you an update on how Iris is doing.  She's almost 13 weeks old (as I'm sure you know) and while she's still small she's definitely growing well. She's almost the same size as our cat but still significantly lighter.  Speaking of our cat, they are starting to get along a lot better! They're doing an okay job of playing although Theo (our cat) can only put up with Iris for about 5 minutes or so before he gets tired and hides.  
   She is doing a great job of learning.  We still have some pee accidents every once and a while, but we never have issues with pooping in the house.  She is also doing a good job with her crate training! She still whines and barks a little when she first gets put in her crate but she is mostly sleeping through the night in her crate now.  Iris is quite the smart puppy and really likes learning tricks! She already knows sit, down, up, stay, roll over, and shake, and we're currently working on her obedience training and her leash training.
   We love her so much (as do all of our family and friends) and she is just as cute as ever!
   Thanks again for letting her come and live with us!
                      Ryan and Andrea 

Mary Ann,
My sweet Annie (Myra) just had her 2 yr birthday. She matured to a whopping 12# and goes everywhere with me. My sassy smart best friend.️
​
Looking for a larger Aussiedoodle Standard or Moyen size 40# F1 or F1b female to live with my sister in Vermont.
Would prefer a blue Merle if possible but other colors may be considered. 

Please let me know if any litters are coming that may meet my criteria. Annie has been so special I would prefer to get a pup from you.
Thanks, Paula

Baby Simpson, now Miles, is such a wonderful addition to our family. He turned 2 early this month and I must say - miles is the best dog we could have ever asked for. He is so loved everyday and has the kindest heart. I just want to thank you again for bringing such a wonderful puppy into the world and blessing our family with miles! Here are a couple of photos! ♥️

Sue sent this nice letter: 
​"We love our pets!  Thank you so much!  I thought I would send you an update! The grey Aussie was Amos when you had him.  My dad named him Smokey.  After my dad passed, my great niece and her sister started staying with their grandma, and I help care for them. They have been calling him Albert; therefore, he goes by Smokey and Albert!  He is so smart!  We love him to pieces and he is fantastic with my niece who is 2 years old!  Just her size!
The blonde Aussiedoodle we came and picked up for my daughter. I am not sure what her name was when we picked her up. My daughter named her Manhattan nicknamed her Hattie!  She is doing great!  She is MaryAnn’s partner! We are so happy with both of them!  I had told you we would send pictures!  Thanks again!"

Hi Maryann 
This is our aussiedoodle Tess that we adopted from you last year.  She the sister of the litter you have now! Desi and Clara’s 
Thought you could show how adorable they are full grown.  We love her so much!  She now weighs 11 pounds.
Thank you for bringing a  best friend to our family!

Libby is one of Phoebe's Goldendoodle puppies - she is living in Texas with her family.  :o)  We got to meet in AR - and here is what Andrea wrote - once they were back home. 
"Hi good to hear from you. The drive seemed shorter on way home. She has done great no accidents in the car or house it seems like she is pretty much potty trained to me! She started whining yesterday, not long after she went outside, so I took her out and she went potty. So I’m really impressed. She does whine a bit in cage but stops after a while. we’ve been doing small intervals of being in there. She’s been sleeping with Paisley at night and won’t even try to get off the bed.  . . ."

Just wanted to check in. We renamed Napa, Libby. Hopefully she will be Libby the Library dog!! We love her. She is so sweet and gentle. She has met with the superintendent and did awesome. She went to school two days last week and acted like a pro.  She will be starting obedience training after Christmas. Then hopefully be ready to pass the therapy test right after she turns 1.
 She loves to fetch and having her belly rubbed. I think our school may be looking for more therapy dogs soon. Everyone just loves her. Thanks for raising such a good dog!!


Merry Christmas!
Donnetta and Libby 

Thank you !!!! We absolutely love our girl!!! She has brought sooo much joy To our lives and the clients in my office!
Please send pics of other litter mates if you have them.  She weighs 45-50 I think. Feel free to use pics of her on your site. We take some everyday!  She loves the dog park, doggie day care and my office.  She finds the fastest dog and runs them . When they get tired, she finds the next dog to run with! Lol. Loves running! 
   She was house trained quickly and I am currently leaving her for short intervals without crate.! Doing great on everything! She loves jumping when she sees me. I swear she jumps 3 ft off the ground.
   I took her to one round of 8 week puppy class early on and am starting two classes with her in Jan , one is brushing up on commands the second is for therapy dog.
   Best dog I ever had with temperament!  I have had dogs all of my adult life, she is adorable and all my friends and family think the same!
   You guys have done a fabulous job!  Please continue to do what you are doing... you bring joy to so many people!
Thank you Mary Ann from my heart!

Dear Mary Ann,
We are just so in love with Mischa. She is fitting so nicely into our little family and has already brought us so much joy! We’ve explored our neighborhood and took her for a walk to see some Christmas lights. Her potty training is going amazing and she even lost a tooth! Here are a couple pictures of her with our boys and Maggie. Thank you so much for allowing us to adopt her... we feel so blessed! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/26 update:  We just wanted to share how much we adore our girl and how well she has adjusted to our family. Our yellow lab Maggie adores her and our boys could not be more in love! She will be spayed in a couple weeks and is so much fun in our neighborhood. She goes on play dates with the 1 year old beagle that lives across the street, loves to retrieve a ball and is so smart! She walks well on and off leash and is just a total delight! Thank you for allowing us to have her! ​

​Thank you for providing this amazing dog to us!
She is smart as can be.
We have never seen a dog her size run so fast.
She has been participating in agility training and is
getting very good at it! 

Milt and Carol 

​Hey there! Well, you asked for a picture with us, I guess this is a good start. We changed her name to Bindi Blue
(bc she’s Aussie & Bindi is Steve Irwin’s daughter’s name).
Here she is with our Goldendoodle Suki. They became fast friends. Suki is only two years old, but she has been a
great mama to our new little one. They sleep together in the laundry room. No one has cried or pottied in there so far!
We are all in puppy heaven! Thank you so much for raising such a sweetheart.
I’ll send more pics! It looks like one of her eyes may be turning brown?  That would be cute! Does this usually happen? 

Hi Mary Ann, Shay is doing wonderful. 
Thank you,

​David.

​Hi Mary Ann,


Just wanted to send you a quick update on our boy Gus. He is so loved. He’s the most gentle calm puppy I’ve ever met. He got his first haircut today and it’s safe to say he is the most handsome puppy in the world. 

Good morning! 
Well it’s been a full week. They are so perfect. We’re getting to know each other still, but we’re coming along well I think. They are so different personality wise. Teddy is just so sweet, friendly, calm, cuddly, and loving. Alfie is aggressive, a bully, has an attitude, and very stubborn. But lucky for him he is so handsome that it’s easy to forget all that. And those eyes! Melt your heart! They play so well together and are really inseparable. They don’t really like their leashes yet or going for walks. But we’re working on that too. They much prefer playing in the yard and skipping the walk! They checked out perfectly at their vet appointment on Monday. I brought them to my friend’s house, she lives on the river, and they absolutely loved the water, they ran right in and played. They sure did need a bath after that though!! 
Hope you had a safe trip back home. Thank you again for driving them. I’ll keep you posted on our progress and more pictures! 

Veronica 

"I love him so much! He's wonderful!! He's not that shaggy now! He always looks like he is smiling."

Karen

"Thank you for a great experience and a wonderful puppy!!  We sure are loving our girl Kaya (queeny)! She's the happiest, healthiest, most obedient dog you could ask for."
Sara and Brian, in MO

Here is a video from Brian.  Kaya is 2 now - and she loves the pool  :o)

"It’s been great.  I ended up naming her Rayna instead. I went ahead and changed her microchip to that name also. 

She is named ‘Hearthside’s Rayna Leigh’. She’s very smart and is doing great at house training. 

She has decided she likes to chew on my old reading glasses while we watch TV.   This is a picture that I sent my husband while he was at work. She is really small so I pray she will grow bigger. 

Hope you are doing good and glad you enjoyed your trip!"

Melanie in GA

​"He's doing so good! And he's very smart. He already knows how to sit and lay! Making his first trip to Pennsylvania this weekend and he does very good traveling!"  Nolan in GA

Hi  -  I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did raising Roll Tide. He is sweet, happy and in excellent shape. He arrived on time and was very happy to meet me. Thank you for his toys and vaccination records as well as his supply of food. He doesn’t like being in a crate so we eliminated that part in trying to housebreak him. He is doing great having free to of several rooms in our house. He chewed his way out of my soft side crate but didn’t get into any trouble. He was quite proud of himself for figuring that out. He’s a very smart puppy and everyone that meets him falls in love with him.
Thank you,  Karen
(rec'd April 11, 2018 - Roll Tide was 4 months old when we sent him. )

Hi, we received puppy Lewis Friday and got him home that afternoon.  He is such a sweet boy and so smart!  This morning we all went to the vet for his checkup and certification and they were impressed with his health and temperament.  Attached are some pictures of us together, I slept with him on the sofa for two nights.  He already goes in and out of two dog doors. We live on 2 1/2 fenced acres and have a nine year old Aussie who is his big brother.  Thank you so much for all the gift bag items and the wonderful care and support we have received.

Sincerely,  Rosalie   (4/2/18)

  We have quite a few reviews from wonderful people on our other site - http://www.hearthsidemeadow.com/testimonials.html  and it would be so nice for you to go and see them on there.  Thank you.  :o)  I'll be posting new ones on this page, as much as possible.  We love   hearing from everyone.  Thank you for staying in touch.

He sure is a sweet, good boy! 
Hope you are doing well!
