Maverick
‘My Maverick is ~13.5lbs and handsome as ever. It has not even been a year since I got to take him home, but it feels like it has been forever. I 100% believe part of this is the time I spent watching him and his littermates grow from 2-9 weeks. I cannot thank you and your team enough for the AwesomeDoodle process. Special thanks to Maverick's mom's human mom, Nancy. I told her that I promised to continue to nurture and grow the love that she instilled in them their first few weeks of life. I like to think I…’

Cody
‘Cody is 7 months old and is the smartest most loving dog I have ever owned! He has sailed through puppy and advanced puppy class and is now working on Canine Good Citizen! We are hoping to take him all the way to become a therapy dog!’
— Kathy and family from DeKalb, Illinois
Luca
‘Luca is incredible! She is smart, loyal and hasn’t met another dog or person she hasn’t loved being around. She is playful and surprisingly obedient when we need her to be. We are so happy that Luca is in our lives and we are still excited to continue to shape her into a wonderful full grown AussieDoodle. Here’s to 8 months… Happy new year!!’
— Doug and family from Jersey City, NJ
Kobi
‘Kobi is the sweetest dog ever. He is so smart - consistently ringing the bells and tells us when he needs to go outside to go potty. He is so amazing. We love him to pieces. He also loves toddlers and babies!!! Every single little kid he sees he runs up to say hi to! It’s adorable. And every single person he meets he also runs up to say hello to! The most friendly guy in town!’
— Rachel and family from Hoboken, NJ
Massimo
‘Just wanted to share a Massimo pupdate 🙂 He's been doing great! It was hard to get adjusted the first couple of weeks, but now we feel like he's been a part of our family for much longer than (almost) 3 months! We love him so much and so do his grand-pawrents haha! He plays well with everyone! Including children and other dogs, which is super important to us coming from a large family. His Likes: Cuddling with his snuggle puppy Running along Lake Michigan Watching TV - March Madness, Dogs 101, Say Yes to the Dress, and Crazy Rich…’
— Lexi and family from Chicago, IL
Rae
‘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’
— Diane and family from Queen Creek, Arizona
Franklin
‘Franklin loves playing with anything that squeaks just as much as he loves burrowing himself into pillows on the couch. He’s interested in other dogs but is still a little shy on the playing front. He walks on a leash nice and is SO good with new people. He’s been on the subway, in stores, near fountains and sprinklers, and even taken the bus in the city. He is very interested in pools, and likes to sit on the first step, but has yet to swim. He’s good in the car as well. He goes into his crate, which is…’
— Neil from New York, NY
Juliette (Jules)
‘Juliette (Jules) is doing so great! She is growing so fast. The vet says that she will be 40+ lbs which is great. We thought she would be around 25-30 due to her small size compared to her litter mates. She is incredibly intelligent and is doing very well with “Sit, Stay, Here, Come, and Leave It” as well as Leash training. We have been reminding her that barking is not allowed. She loves to jump so we are working on reminding her not to jump up on people. She is such a love and snuggler! Please let Natalie know…’
— Dorothy and family from Aliso Viejo, California
Bali
‘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.’
— Frances and family from Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico
Pebbles
‘Pebbles is just over 20 pounds at 16 weeks. Hopefully, the rate of weight gain slows and she ends in that 35 to 45 pound range. She is now sleeping later, 9 to 7 as opposed to 9 to 4 or 5. She has been excellent in her nighttime crate, with any accidents from day one! She understands poops go outside, occasionally in the pine pellet tray, but peeing in the house is still a problem (luckily we have hard surface flooring and not carpet). We occasionally put her in her daytime crate and go out for short periods and…’
— Ron and family from Fort Wayne, Indiana
Lexi
‘We’ve had our Aussiedoodle now for 3 ½ weeks and she is super sweet, fun and smart. We finally had good success with potty training by the 3rd week, she’s 100% outside or in the litter box if we aren’t quick enough. Lexi thinks everything in life should be approached with eagerness and excitement. She has mastered sit, look, leash, let’s go, go to bed, her name and here even under distraction and off leash almost 100%. She’s still working on not jumping, she gets a little over excited sometimes and just can’t quite help herself yet, but it only…’
— Tracy and family from Kiowa, Co
Bailey
‘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.’
— Bob and family from Bay City, Michigan
Finley (Finn for short!)
‘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!’
— Lori and family from Sea Bright, New Jersey
Ziggy
‘I’ve had Ziggy now for about 6 weeks and he’s truly a gem! Getting him was the best decision I’ve made. Ziggy was crate trained by day 4, potty trained within a week and he can now sit, go down, give his paw, high five, leave it and stay for about 12 seconds. With your guidance, he’s really become such a well mannered pup and will be starting puppy development classes when he’s done with all his shots. Ziggy is so smart and so loving. He’s got such personality and he just makes the days so much brighter for my…’
— Paola and family from New York, New York
BluBelle
‘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!’
— Patti and family from Driftwood, Texas
Tango
‘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!’
— Kreg and family from Belleair Beach, FL
JakJak
‘He might be the smartest puppy ever ? you might think I’m biased but I’ve barely had to work with this guy or teach him things…he just gets it almost right away…sometimes I think he speaks English because he just knows what I say. So far he’s mastered in any environment and with the other dogs here, sit, down, enough, go potty, eat your own (food), get a toy, off (except the dishwasher), give it (unless it’s food), he plays fetch if the other two aren’t around so he does – ready – go get it – bring it here…’
— Tracy and family from Kiowa, CO
Toula
‘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…’
— Teresa and family from Plymouth, MI
Mabry
‘Mabry is 11 weeks and doing great. She has sit, watch me, leave it, down and come. She struggles with stay but can do it sometimes. She just had a bath and did great! She surprises us every week with a new thing she’s curious about and getting in to. We’re having a great time with her! Thanks for the articles! - Joseph’
— Joseph and Olivia from Atalanta
Scarlett
‘Scarlett is 8 months old and is wonderful - awesome actually. She's sweet and spunky and loves meeting people and especially kids. Our daily trip to the local dog park is the highlight of the day and helps wear this puppy out. She goes to daycare one day a week while I'm still working from home. She can't wait to get out of the car when we get there. She can barely keep her eyes open on the drive home. Thanks! I refer to the website often and appreciate all the information there.’
— Patricia from Oakwood, OH
Blue
‘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!’
— Azalea and family from Palmetto Bay, FL
River MKC
‘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…’
— Kimberly and family from Noblesville, IN
Lincoln
‘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!’
— Elizabeth and family from Manhattan, New York
Binkley
‘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.’
— Max and family from Los Angeles, CA
Tessa
‘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.’
— Paula and family from Noblesville, IN
Buster
‘Welcome to our home sweet little Buster. He is so smart. He came potty trained! Thank you Dana for your special care.’
— David and Robin and family from Centennial, CO
Miso
‘Miso is an adventure loving pup! He loves to explore the outdoors any chance he can get!’
— Alex and family from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, OH
Otto
‘Eight Weeks Old. So so good. Otto is so sweet and so smart. Mostly you can tell he already knows a lot of the basics. We drove back 16 hours from picking him up and got home last night. Night one was in my camper so we just let our hair down to get through the drive and that first night in the camper. Already using the litter box like a champ. So impressed with that. Dealing with a 2 hour time change for him so our hours were a little off but he went about 6 1/2 hours in…’
— Bill in Colorado
Bean
‘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.…’
— Karley and family from Chicago, IL
Georgie
‘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!’
— Tim and family from St Paul, MN
