"Goldy is very athletic & muscular we run, walk, & play with him outdoors for hours he loves it! He completed his first P.K.T. class @ the top of course. People can't believe how well trained Goldy is he comes, sits, downs, stays, gives the paw, sometimes booth / Famous Birgit trick called Paw Paw, walks well on the leash & most importantly he follows us everywhere off leash. We have a beautiful trail on the Hudson close to us that we all enjoy & Goldy has made some very good friendships. He is well socialized with dogs, kids, & adults. If every human would get as much attention love & positive affirmations we truly would have a different world. People go absolutely crazy when they see him some get very emotional. We found a trainer that trains dogs for therapy & we want to enroll him in the near future he seems to have a natural inclination to bring out emotions in people. It's been a very interesting time for us as well. We are learning a lot about dogs & dog owners. We never met so many strangers in such a short period of time. We have utilized the information from the puppy primer, the monks, & are watching the dog whisperer on the television. But mainly we watch Goldy he lets us know how he feels, we figured out all his sounds & body language up to now & have great dog / human communication. We think he is very telepathic & he watches our body language very closely. He is very easy to train we make it very playful & we think he does not know the difference between training & playing its all fun to him.

Much Love,

David, Birgit, & Goldy"

"We have so adored our Essex. I have attached some photos of her.  (Somehow black dogs are hard to photograph!) I think we ended up with the smallest of the litter, as Essex is just under 20 lbs. What a happy dog! Patty, your breeding certainly pays off as we have never seen such joy in a pup! And very smart. Her favorite thing is to find socks and hide them for later chewing. I find them everywhere. She nudges open sliding closet doors, and wiggles the zippers on luggage to find her treasures.
 
For all our great plans of training her for hunting as a little flusher/retriever, we haven't been able to proceed. A few months after we got Essex, Bob was notified that he needed an organ transplant due to an auto-immune disease he has. Since then we have been working to get him on the transplant list - a long and slow process. Finally last week we were successful. I only tell you this as Essex has been the biggest source of comfort and happiness to him. He has been bed-ridden for months now and all of Essex's down time is spent by his side. I have found that she is sensitive to his sickness and has been so loving to him, bringing all her toys daily to his bed. It is no wonder that they are companion dogs!!! Great news is Bob anticipates a full recovery.
 
We wish you a wonderful day with your wonderful pups!

Dear Reader,

We are writing this letter to inform you that we would give the highest recommendation to Patty Barnes of Log Cabin Labradoodles. Our daughter had been asking for a puppy since she was a toddler but we were always reluctant

as my husband is allergic to cats and dogs. For her 16th birthday she informed us the only thing she still really wanted was a puppy.  After doing

some research we settled on getting an Australian Labradoodle. We searched many places on the internet and after checking many breeders we decided to purchase a puppy from Patty.

Patty was the most informative of all the breeders and before we completed our application she invited us to her home to make sure my husband and children did not have any allergic reactions to the dogs. While we were there Patty let us hold and play with all the dogs as well as the potential mother and father of our puppy. We spent the most part of the day at her home while Patty and her husband Pete educated us on the dogs and their care.

Needless to say we were thrilled when our puppy Cody arrived. Cody is the friendliest and most gentle dog. He is very smart, eager to please and everything that Patty and Pete said he would be. Patty has helped us many times after we brought Cody home since this was our first dog in our 25 years of marriage. She is always available to answer any questions by phone or email.

Patty breeds her dogs as a labor of love. She treats you like an extended member of her family. Her main goal is to find the perfect puppy that would be a good fit for the family and their lifestyle. This is why we are getting

another puppy from Patty at Log Cabin Labradoodles. We have Cody just a little over a year and thought it was time to get him a companion. We wouldn't think of getting a puppy from anywhere else. We know we are going to get another wonderful dog from a person who cares enough to always stay in touch with you and help you anytime you need her.

Sincerely,

Margaret, Mark  & family"
