Hi Lisa,
 
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to contact you. We seem to have been so busy lately I dont know where the time goes. But it has been on my mind that I MUST send you a picture of our gorgeous Dillon. For some reason I can only attach one picture in an email so I will send you another couple of emails with a couple more pics.
 
Firstly I must say what a complete joy Dillon has been since we have had him. George and Freya have totally fallen in love with him and him with them. (He cries when they go to school.) He has been such an easy puppy to train. We have had a good few weeks now without any accidents in the house. He goes to work with Stuart a couple of days a week and sits in his little bed under the desk and gets totally spoilt by the girls that work in our shop.
 
We have been enjoying the weather and Dillon and I have a lovely walk every morning through the fields. He is so good off the lead and always comes back when called - actually he never really goes far away from me. He loves a rough and tumble with other dogs and is very brave considering he is still pretty small!
 
He has got the funniest little personality. Really cheeky and playful, then between 5-6pm he has his bonkers moment when he runs around the house at top speed, ears pinned back, grabbing any shoe, book, controller that might be in his way. Then he settles down in the evening and just lies there while we fuss him (the ear cleaning business,,,, although that has become Stuart's job - i still havent got to grips with that ripping the little hairs out of his ears), trying to cut the hair around his eyes - Im worried he cant see much - must find a groomer soon. As I write he is lying by my feet. Whatever room im in he has to wake himself up and come and sit with me.
 
So thank you Lisa, for Dillon. We love him and he has fitted into our family beautifully. We'd love to know how his sister is doing. My daughter has asked me lots of times about what the rest of the litter was like. Perhaps if you get a minute you could send us a picture of her. What did you call her... i cant remember?
Well i hope you, your family and all the animals are well.
 
best wishes,
Amelia

Hi Lisa,

Hope you and the family are well.

Just thought I’d update you with how Marley is getting on. He is so well behaved and we can’t quite believe how good he is considering he is only 4 months old! He can now to ‘right paw’ and ‘left paw’ and his recall and ‘stay’ is improving all the time. We are trying hard to get him not to jump up as sometimes he gets a little excited but he is learning. He has lots of doggy friends he now plays with at the park on a regular basis and people cannot believe how confident and well behaved he is, he truly is a little treasure

He had his first trip to the groomers yesterday so you can see from the last photo he looks incredibly fluffy and lovely to see his eyes. He weighs 4.9 kilos now but it’s hard to remember how small he was when we picked him up.

We will be attending a ‘Scufts Dog Show’ for the local Lions Hospice first Sunday in September so we are hoping he might pick up a few prizes in the puppy competitions! He is so cute I don’t think the judges will be able to resist!

The new puppies you have on the website are lovely and my mum is seriously considering getting one perhaps early next year so Marley may end up having a labradoodle friend to play with.

Claire, Steve & Marley
