"Dougal"

Dougal is a medium fleece coated labradoodle

Look at Dougal's eyes closed. This is the look of pure contentment, when you tickle a doodle behind his ear.

Well, what can we say?! We know pup looked cute but nothing compares to meeting him. I was completely taken aback (as was my husband) at how gorgeous - and friendly he was. First impressions are, as you say, of a little pup full of fun, very loving but a sense of calm. We couldn't believe how good he was on the trip home. The only time he yelped was when the children were eating tubes of yoghurt and there was a strong smell of milk and even then it lasted 30 seconds and he lay down peacefully. I imagine he'll make some noise this evening as he doesn't like you disappearing for too long- understandably when he is used to being in his pack but he seems to be so easily placated.

We put the children to bed within a short time of returning and although they helped feed pup (we still haven't decided on a name- but it is likely to be Hamish, Dougal or Max!) we felt it was best to let him explore his surroundings undisturbed by the children and he was so sweet. He came to me for a cuddle first, explored close by then returned for a cuddle, a bit further the next time and back for cuddle etc. Just like a baby would who's begun to crawl. He is currently lying asleep between my husband's feet. He seems a very relaxed pup .

We would like to thank you very much - not just for providing us with a beautiful pup - but for the amazing level of professional ,but  also personal, service we have received from yourself. It has been second to none and we appreciate it greatly"

" Dougal is the name that we have chosen after much debate. Chosen I have to say with no reference to the Magic Roundabout character ! He is peaceful in his crate this evening at the moment. We thought he was very good last night. He yelped for short periods but always quitened down quickly We put a furry water bottle in beside him and he cuddled up to that. The most noise he made was when (name of children deleted), went to say hello to him this morning !"
