Showcasing  - Muggles - and Cara in Hawaii

Muggles was born Rutlands Snuggles and was the mother of some exceptionally beautiful and intelligent little Miniature ASD Australian Labradoodles before being retired to Hawaii.

Here are some photos of Muggles while she was still at Rutland Manor.  We are more than delighted that Cara Hellman took advantage of this wonderful little dog's intuitive and sweet nature and has trained her to reach her full potential as a Therapy Dog in beautiful Hawaii.

LILY  was born at Rutland Manor in Australia on 20th October 2004.  She was one of a litter of  ten puppies from Rutlands Funnie Bunnie and the infusion of the Irish Soft Coated Wheaten.  

Lily was nurtured and raised for the first ten months of her life in a family home and was then donated to Canine Crossroads Foundation in Texas where her brilliant mind excelled and after a mere four months of training, she graduated and  was placed with Katharyn as her Service Dog.

Showcasing  - Akilah    California

(Photos Coming Soon)

Hi there.Beverley,  I don't know if you'd remember a California woman in a wheelchair who was getting her first dog and was scared out of her mind...  You guys sent me my darling Akilah   She turned 3 years old in April 2008.   I want to tell you how much joy Akilah is and what an awesome little helper she is to me.  

 Our days start out with her jumping up (only after being invited) on the old blanket I laid across one side of my bed for her to lay on.  We snuggle for a few minutes while I watch a bit of the news then we go out for a 2-mile run (me on my wheelchair bike attachment) that ends at the park down the street where she plays with her neighborhood lab friends and plays catch with her favorite... the tennis ball.... 

 Then we go home, I pour her food and she may eat - or she'll just go for a long snooze.  If I'm going out for few hours then I leave while she is tired and if I'm going out all day she goes across the street to her boyfriend, Oggie's house where she gets to hang with two dogs in a huge yard all day. 

Because I saw how easy it was to train Australian Labradoodles - I continued her training.  These are the things she knows -

She knows boundaries (yard - won't go in the street)
Barks on command,
Goes out and gets the paper,
Retrieves things I've dropped,
Gets my Uggs or a pair of black tennis shoes,
Can turn off my alarm that I purposely set across the room so I'd be forced to get up =0),
Gets her leash,
Opens doors,
Gets the phone, and many, many more things.  She has been joining me in malls, grocery stores, offices, and restaurants since she was a puppy - even before I found a vest for her.  Everyone comments on how well behaved she is. 

You guys couldn't have picked out a better match for me.  Akilah is my heart and joy.  If I feel down or sick - I just have to get on my bike or take her to go play in the park and all is well with the world again!  I seriously get a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach when I see her running and her tail wagging...  She is just amazing!

 I wanted to write a note to thank you.  I don't have any family here or children and she has filled the void amazingly!  (Don't worry - I love her to bits, but she does know I'm the leader of our little pack and she is a very happy - not confused - pup.)

 I plan on getting Akilah a friend and I don't see how anyone could do a better job providing a perfect family member than you guys did so I will probably be sending in another application real soon.   I am just sooooooooooooo in love with my baby, Akilah, that I think I need to seriously consider Rutland Manor again.  I doubt anyone can produce a pup similar to Akilah - calm, yet fun and goofy, not a mean bone in her body, well behaved, loving, smart, healthy...

 Thank you, thank you, thank you for my little 3-year old family member.  I love her so much!!!  I truly appreciate her and all you did to get her into my home.

 Sincerely,

Happy, happy, happy doodle family member in Huntington Beach,

Ivanna Brown California

 

Showcasing  - Rufus Jnr-  New Jersey

The ASD Australian Labradoodle was developed with its primary purpose being a dog with a uniquely  intuitive, easily trainable mind suited  to be a Service Dog for the physically or emotionally challenged child or adult  who is unable to live with most kinds of dog due to dog related allergies.  Hence the 'ASD' (Australian Service Dog) Labradoodle name.   The way this serving breed has endeared itself across the world as the ideal family companion as well, has been a delightful serendipity.   This page and the next few pages  showcase just a few  who are distinguishing themselves as Service  and  Therapy Dogs.
