Cool Dood!
Keeping Your Labradoodle Cool!

It is a hot, sultry, summer day. You are sitting in your chair, in front of the fan, with a glass of iced lemonade. You are wishing you would quit sweating and would just cool down.

You look down on the ground at your faithful labradoodle. You wonder, “Hmmm… [...]

They say that a smile can change and influence others. Smiles are associated with the color yellow, with sunlight and of course with happiness.
Dogs generally show their happiness by wagging their tail. Think for a minute, what if you showed your happiness that way, by wiggling your backside, back and forth, uncontrollably with [...]

I have had a couple of people from The Netherlands ask us how we will be celebrating the 4th of July, The United States Independence Day. I thought I would tell you a little bit about what we did.

Most people celebrate the 4th of July with the 4 F’s:
Family
Friends
Food

Around a year or so ago I posted a blog about Luna who had a short modeling career.
Though her career as a model was not all that long, her family is still surprised when they come across one of her photo’s in a publication!  Just recently, Raili Calvert, Luna’s “mom,” was at a doctors’s office, [...]

We have had a busy few days here, at Pine Lodge!  Our Maternity ward kept us hopping!  But, the stork finally came…
and the suspense is over… or just about.  We now will watch the little puppies change and grow.  Then the families will be guided in selecting the puppy that best suits their family.
Let’s meet [...]

There is [...]

Scout as a puppy

We got Scout about 2.5 years ago when she was just 8 weeks old. It was love at first sight! She was absolutely adorable! She was our first and our only goldendoodle so far. She’s an f1b from Abracadoodles.
Scout immediately moved in with her Guardian family, The Blakleys. [...]

It’s been a very fun and exciting week at Pine Lodge this week.  We “imported” an excellent trainer from The Netherlands to give us a crash course on clicker training in the Martin Gaus method.  Our instructor was Sharon Rademaker.  Her dog school is Jottem Dog school in De Volger.  Some of our guardian families [...]

This is Sydney Doodle here.  Scharae came to stay the night last night at the Pine Lodge.  It’s her first time all by herself!  Her older sister came and stayed without her a couple of weeks ago, when she had her tonsils out.  Scharae thought it was her turn.  Us dogs kind of like the [...]

The dogs got to talking amongst themselves recently.  They were having what you might call “itchy feet”…..
Copper, who sees herself as quite international, having been born in Canada, became the spokes person for the group.
“It’s this way,” she said.  “You go to Holland and see Europe.   Our puppies go to Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland and [...]
