Hi Angela,
We just want you to know how happy we are with Tuxy. We kept his descriptive name... He is now Tux, Tuxy, Tuxee-da, Tux Choco and Tucky. (Alina cannot say the x yet.) He is training easily, he is growing quickly and making us smile with his silliness all day long. He is so gentle with our toddler, and patient. We get endless compliments on him, no one here in Michigan seems to breed parti poodles. He is unique! People stop and ask if he is a water dog, or a springer spaniel... He got along well with our old cat, she definitly put him in his place. He actually obeyed the "no touch" command with kitty. His buddy though passed away this week, he was a sad puppy missing his 20 year old old Snowshoe cat "sweetpee."

We were wondering if you had any baby photos of tux for us, even the photo from his listing on puppy find.

We are Tuxified tuxaholics for our tux puppy! Maybe someday we will get him a buddy to hang with. He is amazing. We need more parti poodles in Michigan!

Best, Jesse

I'll send better pictures but just a reassurance that Etta is doing well and is getting along well with our schnauzer, Winston. We love her. My kids are coming home from boarding school Friday-what a surprise!

Check this out!  Great display of one of our dogs!

She’s awesome! The drive was brutal and we didn’t make it home until 12:30. She was an amazing traveler which made it much more fun.  Finally came up with a name around 8 hours into the drive.  It’s Kelsey to go with the Irish names of our daughters, Kendall and Devlin.

Everyone who meets her raves about how sweet she is.  She’s great with the girls.  For the first two days we were worried that she couldn’t walk because her feet never touched the ground as she was being carried so much.  She’s also doing really well sleeping.  The first night she cried three separate times and each time we took her out and she went to the bathroom.  Next two nights she only cried once and needed to go out.  Last night she slept from 10-6, so that’s going really well.

Right now she’s a chewing fiend so we’re trying to keep her focused on chew toys instead of furniture and feet.  Today she’s going to the vet at 2:00 so we can find out what schedule she needs to be on for her shots.

She loves being outside which is great since the weather has been really nice.  We all hang out together and run her around until she’s worn out.  Her favorite thing is chasing falling leaves so we’re well protected on that front.

All in all, we couldn’t be happier.  She’s a great dog who clearly comes from great parents and a great family.  Thank you so much!  When I get a chance, I’ll load some photos of her.

I just wanted to give you a little update on “Finnegan” – he is the most wonderful dog I could imagine!!  He is so loyal, well behaved, and just so much fun.  He goes to doggy day care while I am at work so he is very spoiled and happy.  He potty trained in no time, and we go to puppy training classes every week where he is the star.  The other puppy owners joke with me that he is actually 7 years old and I’m bringing him to puppy training to make the other dogs look bad.  I can’t believe how smart he is and how quickly he picks up on things.  Also, I live by myself in the city, and he is a great watch dog.  Anytime we are out walking at night and someone approaches me that I don’t see coming, he definitely makes their presence known, so I feel very safe with him.  People stop my on the street daily to ask where I got him and comment on how cute he is.  I could go on and on forever, but I just wanted to tell you that everything is going great, and to thank you again for everything!  If you ever need a glowing reference, feel free to give out my number/email address. 

Thank you again!

Hi Angela,

I thought you might like a one year report on Reggie. He tops the scales at 100 pounds! Can't figure out how he managed to get so BIG! But he is indeed a "gentle giant". People just flock to him wherever we go. They want to pet him (he loves it!) and they want to know what breed he is. 

We are still working toward certification for Animal Assistanted Therapy. I think we will certify within the next 6-8 months. On good days he could probably pass the test now; but his behavior isn't yet as consistent as it must be to work as a therapy dog .  He is still a puppy!!

And with his size, we must have complete control.

I am attaching some pictures.

Hi Angela,

Apple is doing great.  She is a very devoted, loving dog.  She follows us everywhere.  She likes to go in her crate at times.  I’ll say “I have to go to work now” and she goes in right away.  We never leave her more than a few hours at a time, and not every day.  We have her groomed about every 3 weeks now, not always a trim, usually a bath and some clipping.  She is a very good watch dog, very protective of us, but not aggressive.  She loves our 4 year old grandson, sometimes gets a little too rough with him, we have to watch closely.  We took her to puppy obedience class, she did very well.  She knows sit, down, give, leave it, her name.  We’ll probably take her to another obedience class as a refresher.  The only negative is our beautiful green lawn is burned in spots by her urine.  I can’t seem to correct that.  I bought some pills which I give her every day.  They’re supposed to balance the acidity in her urine, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference yet.  Any suggestions?  She also likes to dig, and has dug up some of our drip irrigation system.  Here in California we have to water a lot.  I’d be happy to talk or email to anyone interested in your pups.  We’re very happy with her.  She is amazingly beautiful.  We never go anywhere without her and people always stop us and comment on how beautiful and sweet she is.  She is so big, about 90+ pounds.  She always likes to walk between our legs when we come home.  Now she is almost too tall to do that without our lifting one of our legs so she can pass through! 

I’ll be gone 7/8-7/16 to Hawaii , but I’d love to talk or email anyone before I leave or when I get home.

Hi Angela,

Hawaii was awesome.  Apple is doing great.  She is so smart and affectionate, and very protective of the family.  She loves our little grandson, and he loves her so much.  It’s so cute to see them together.  I’m happy to talk to any potential Giant Schnoodle owners.  When she stands on her back legs she can look me in the eye, I’m 5’5”.  She used to like to walk between our legs, and now she’s too tall.  I think she weighs 90=95#.  She creates a sensation wherever we take her.  People love her.  I always tell them where we got her!

Hi Angela:  I'm Colleen, the one that flew from Idaho to Cincinnati and my sister and I met you at the gas station to pick up our schnoodle.  His name is Kaiser (means German Emperor).  My husband and kids names him because he is sooooo big.  He's already 21 pounds.  (born March 3).  I think he's going to be more than 50 pounds!  What a sweetie though.  He made a 5 hour plane ride back to Boise without a peep!  No drugs, and I put him in the cabin with me.  A man sitting next to me on the airplane fell in love with him.  I kept unzipping   the bag he was in and he'd stick his head out and look around.  The man (who was a big executive at some company in a fancy suit) kept talking to Kaiser like he was a human baby.  It was great.  The man forgot there was a plane full of people and he was talking "baby talk" to him the entire plane ride.  People were looking at him like he was crazy!  That's what a puppy will do to you!!

Took him to the vet, and he's great.  Kaiser eats like a pig...we have to really control it.  Our four year old schnauzer Palmer loves him more than life!  They play and wrestle all day long and are exhausted at the end of the day.  Almost house trained.  We're having to use the crate.  He's spoiled rotten to the core.  So, so, so sweet.  We can't believe what a great disposition he has.  He gets  baths a lot.  He and palmer have a rope toy.  His favorite thing to do is play tug of war and chew his chewy toy.  He's our little bear.   We'll send pictures soon.  It's hard to get a good picture of a black dog.  He has a periwinkle blue handkerchief around his neck which is cute.  It helps us find him!!

I think Paris is her mom. No I don't think you can do anything to better the breed. She is wonderful. She is just terrible, just kiddiour other schnauzers didn't grow up until they were 2. i hope that is going to happen with molly. I must say she is a very devoted dog. She follows me everywhere and will not stay in a room without me, unless it is with otr boys when they are in bed. I like her smaller size. she is a big dog, but not huge. You have great dogs and as you promised me great temperments. That was and is the most important thing to me. she is sleeping on the bed behind me has i am writing this. she likes to sleep with all four in the air. Keep up the great temperment and the cute dogs.

Angela,

I've attached a picture of Foster that was taken for our school's annual calendar - the theme this year was "teacher's pets." Foster is a great dog - he's plateaued at about 110 lbs, and is good natured and well behaved - mostly. We're still working on come when called and stopping him from jumping on people, but that's as much our fault as his for not making sure it happens every time.He really doesn't shed at all, which means he's welcome on the couch or in the bed, although it's pretty crowded at times.

Thanks

Emma has filled out and the vet said she is IDEAL! A whopping 72 lbs of fitness and beauty!
Here is a recent picture of her with her new best friend Cayenne (Ki for short). We worked with Emma at the service dog academy and she is just too friendly to pass the good canine award. She wants to stop and visit with everyone, people and dogs alike. Very well behaved, but fails on the ignoring others….Ki has been a wonderful addition to the family and so good for Emma. They play and play and play. They come to work with me and are the official red arrow greeters. Very interested to see a picture of the brindle that was in Emmas litter. I just saw my first one and they are beautiful

Hi Angela!

Wanted to send you a recent picture of the pups at daycare as well as provide you a quick update on how AWESOME they’re doing! Cecil Clark is 1 ½ years old now and tops out at 90 lbs. He’s calmed down tremendously and doesn’t even need to be crated when I’m at work during the day. He’s never shown any aggression toward dogs or people and just lets little kids in the neighborhood hug all over him. He’s so laid back, goofy, and social, I love it! Ernest Eldon is already 4 months and over 30 lbs.. he’s just the sweetest little baby. He’s getting much better with his potty training and only has an accidently every now and then and is starting to sleep all through the night! (yes!) He’s crazy smart and listens so well, too… it cracks me up how attentive he is! I’ll yell his name from across the field and he just comes sprinting and wagging his little nub in excitement. He doesn’t even require a leash when we go for walks.
Both Cecil and Ernest follow me around the house everywhere and just lay at my feet when I get ready in the mornings or am in the kitchen. It helps to take them to daycare because then when I get home, they are just exhausted and cuddly! J Some of their favorite things to do are play at the dog park (they are both crazy social and get all the attention!), swim in the river (they love water…. Sprinklers, shower, sink, etc.!), wrestle around the house with each other, and get spoiled at grandma’s house with baked treats! I’ve never ran into another Giant Schnoodle but get compliments on these two everywhere I go… people say they’re just the happiest looking dogs they’ve ever seen. I would have to agree! I recommend them to everyone I know looking for a dog.. who wouldn’t want a happy, laid back, big teddy bear, non-shedding, non-drooling, non-aggressive baby?!! J
I could not be happier with both pups I got from you! I can’t believe how much personality they each have and I just love them so much! Thank you thank you!

Hey there!
The puppy has transitioned very well so far! We're working on potty training him and he seems to be picking it up pretty quickly. He and our other dog, Curly, are new best buds! They both love to run around our acreage chasing grasshoppers, birds, and frogs! Here are a few pictures of him (yes, he got a haircut-we have cockleburs where we live and they are so difficult to get out of long hair!)

We'll keep sending pictures as he grows! Thanks again!

Hi Angela.
Here's a couple of recent photos. Lucy had a hard time with Gibs at first but they are becoming good buds. He really is a good boy. Just a pup!
Hope all is well with you.

Hi there! Colt is doing so well! Here he is with our 3 year old son Mason. He weighs a little over 80 pounds and still has a lot of puppy left in him. We love him dearly as he plays so well with our boys. We just added a baby girl to the family and he got a little jealous (he chewed up a couple of her outfits) but we paid him a little more attention and he has adjusted just fine. He has been such a wonderful part of our family and I don't know what we'd do without him!

I just want to tell you that considering the risk of buying a dog on line, I made the best decision. Paulie, that schnoodle, is the cutest dog in the whole world. he is so loving and fabulous and a great protective watch dog. He also is the smartest dog I have ever had. I'll send you a photo when he is all grown up. he is a giant galloomph of a dog
Thanks,
