Just wanted to give you an update….Today Como did super!  He has not whined once, or acted worried about his environment.  We took him to the Farmers Market, so many great comments on him, all about his conformation, attitude.  He is going potty outside consistently.  Jonathan mentioned that it seems as though he has been with us for years.  Sometimes I look at him and he doesn’t even seem like a puppy.  Strange.  I am making an apt with our vet to see him in the next few days.  He follows us everywhere and never lets us out of his sight.  We had him on a leash at the market, he accepted it without a question.   What did you do to this puppy??  Did you send a puppy?  Seriously, he is so cool, sat outside with us tonight while we had a fire.  He is so full of character the way he manipulates his front paws, it’s as though he has little mittens.  We also took him to the pet store, he picked out a stuffed rabbit, carries it all over the place.  We are just so thrilled.   Your have chosen some incredible stock for your program.  Congrats.  Will send more photos soon.   You should probably send us some business cards.

 Best,

Christina

Oh Sue, Stanley (his new name J ) is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Ok, that was a lot of exclamation points, but he is just the sweetest most adorable dog EVER!  He bonded like glue to me … and to Chad to a strong degree but not as much as me since I can move and I take him out, feed him, etc.  We have been on 10 walks so far and he is eating like a champ.

Photos of Stanley!  He is getting better and sweeter every day …. Which I didn’t think could be possible. J

Stanley is the BEST dog ever.  OK, I've never owned a dog in my life before now, but Chad has and he says that Stanley is such a great dog.  He is smart as a whip - he has been doing his training for quite some time now and he is so well behaved....

Sue – Chad is doing much better, thank you for asking... Stanley was AMAZING at the hospital.  He wore his vest the whole time, and he really understands now that vest = good behavior.  He laid on the floor next to Chad’s hospital bed for 18 straight hours minus potty and walk breaks.  And the one time Chad left the room for a CT scan, Stanley was absolutely distraught – he parked himself exactly where Chad’s bed was and wimpered for a bit.  When Chad came back, he went straight back to his blanket (that I had put down on the cold icky floor) and slept peacefully again.  He really knows that Chad is his master. (please note: this was at 15 wks old)

I will send some photos shortly - would love to have you advertise our success on your website if you'd still like to.  We are still incredibly grateful for the help you gave to us, both monetary and in emotional support as I became a dog owner.  I love Stanley soooo much, and if not for the fact that I simply could not run two dogs on a leash on my bike, I would buy another dog in a skinny minute. :)   

Stanley is a service dog for his owner Chad, Stanley is kept clipped short for service work

Hi Sue,

It’s been a fun six months with our puppy and I thought I would drop you a note to show you how big he has gotten.  My daughters still love ‘dog ownership’ and he gets lots of play time when they are home from school. Gus has also turned out to be quite the good ‘trail pup’ as we have taken him on several hikes.  He loves to play with other dogs and runnnnnnnnnnn!!!.  I can’t thank you enough for choosing him for us.  He has been a great addition to our family and is still the ‘gorgeous boy’ at 55 pounds!  His disposition is very sweet and we have really enjoyed learning how smart he is!

We hope you are well and enjoying the new year.

 (Alpen Ridge had one standard litter, Gus and Como are brothers to Stanley)

Thanks Again,

Shelly and family

Hi Sue,

I am sure you must hear lovely stories from other people that have bought your puppies. However, I really feel like I could write a book about how happy I am with Rorie. She is just the Best thing to come into my life in such a long time. I feel she is a blessing. I am so grateful to my sister for finding her on-line for me. I am not much into the "fate" idea of things but I really feel that Rorie was meant to be with me. I've waited so long to find just the right type of dog to have and care for I feel like I struck gold with Rorie...

Anyway, like I said I'm sure you have heard many good stories about your puppies but I just wanted you to know how much I really appreciate that you picked me to care for Rorie. She's such a joy. Hope you had a nice weekend and all is well with you and your family. ~ Kristen

We have just purchased a miniature labradoodle from Sue at Alpen Ridge.  She has true miniatures unlike many breeders who claim they do but, are actually in the 40 pound range. Sue has been great through the whole process. She is quick to respond to emails, is conscientious for the well being and health of her dogs and puppies and is great with matching puppies temperament with their future owners needs. I was nervous with shipping of my puppy but, everything went smoothly. He arrived safe and sound and is in great health. He arrived with all the paperwork, food and even a pee pad and a blanket.  All documents and even a health history from her Vet was very professionally presented. Being in the health care field this was very important to me to have the proper medical testing of the parents and documented health history of the puppy. He is a well adjusted puppy and settled in our home like he lived here for many years. My last dog was purchased from a pet shop-I didn't know any better at the time. Buying from a breeder specifically Alpen Ridge is a 100% different. He is better socialized, already paper trained, and you have a health history with up to a 26 month warranty. He even slept through his first night here-amazing! I have seen the difference buying a puppy from the right person means and believe me he is worth every penny! I would highly recommend Sue at Alpen Ridge. She is a very nice person and I am just amazed at the quality and temperament of my little guy. Alpen Ridge is the best!!   (Charlie's owner)
Hi Sue,...I'll give Charlie a big hug from you. He asks how you are doing all the time.  He loves to run like the wind in our backyard and we found out he travels well too. No more car sickness-yeah. We went to visit my brother at his recreational park about two hours away and Charlie loved it....He really did turn out to be an amazing dog... We keep waiting for the other "shoe" to drop.  Because we can't believe how good he is. In the past year he hasn't destroyed anything not even a shoe.  But, he does love to chew. He is a very special dog.  His housebreaking went very quickly and you already know what a sweetie he is.  I'm so glad we had the courage to get another dog - what a difference from our last dog.  I know it's from your careful breeding and care.  I think my last dog was from a puppy mill. I try to educate everyone I meet about that now that I know better.
  ...I also met his half brother from the doodle zoo-Kian from Melinda.  He is also just incredible. I still would like to get Charlie certified as a therapy dog ...
Take care,
Carol

Charlie, son of Rorie
