Hi Andrea and Family! We’ve been thinking about you all a lot. Timber is AMAZING!!! (Katy and Phoenix - black ribbon boy DOB 4/9/13) Enclosed are some pics highlighting the past year. We fell in complete love the moment we met him and I think he did too!
He has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is a funny, lovable, silly, snuggly guy. And OH SO SMART! We get compliments and comments from people every day about how handsome (he has the best coat!) and calm he is, so well mannered. He’s so friendly. Kids love to pet him - his coat is so soft, it reminds them of their favorite stuffed animal:)
He’s a big boy - tall. When I last checked he was about 77 lbs! Truly a gentle giant. But he is so agile and such a love bug. Great for laying around with the kids while they’re reading or just need to snuggle.
He is showing great potential for therapy work. In fact, shortly after we brought him home from your house, we were at the park and someone came up to me and asked if he was a therapy dog. He just has such a calm, loving nature about him. He is so good with kids(big kids, little kids, shy kids, playful kids), adults, elderly, other animals.
Do you remember when I was still deciding about getting a doodle and I asked you if I could bring my son over to play with your dogs so we could see how he did around them with his allergies? You were so accommodating and friendly and you let us take all the time we needed. We all fell in love with Katy. And Cullen was able to snuggle and pet her and just hang out to see what kind of allergic reaction he’d get. NONE! He was fine! That was a really big deal for us. And his allergies have been doing well with Timber, too :) Timber amazes me everyday! He brings us so much joy everyday! I can not believe we were so fortunate to find you…and him. He has been a blessing! And you are truly doing something special.
The only ‘problem’ is he misses his kids so much when they’re in school:( He goes with me/us everywhere and to the park all the time, but I think he needs a 4-legged sister/brother. The kids have been asking when we’re getting another one. And I’ve been thinking about it since the day we brought Timber home. I knew right away that if/when we do get another one, it would be from you, so it’s funny that I received an email from you about your sheep doodles. They look and sound wonderful. We moved to Rochester, NY last summer, so unfortunately I can’t just pop over to see them:( How do they compare to Timber (F1B - Katy and Phoenix)? It sounds like they’d be about the same size. The kids were thinking of a smaller size (they fell in love with one of Cinnamon’s pups when we came to pick up Timber), but although Timber is a big dog, he doesn’t overpower people or things. Temperment? etc? You also mentioned a discount for current families. Can you tell me more about that as well?
