hello!

fudgepuddle · 05-28-2009, 06:28 AM

Hello!

I'm from the UK and am owned by 2 doodles - fudgey is a lovely choccy scruffy F1b - she's not very big by UK standards (just 20" tall but is not a 'mini') and scrumpy is our pup - she'll likely be bigger than fudgey and is an F2, we live in the new forest with our 2 ancient burmese cats.

I also do homechecking and fostering for the Labradoodle Trust - which is the UK rescue for labradoodles, I'm organising a fun dog show for the south of england to raise some funds for the trust, and have just finished putting together the Labradoodle Rescue calendar for 2010 - all photos of doodles owned by members of Doodle Times (which is a really good labradoodle chat forum based in the UK)

Anyways, less of my prattling, here's some pics - and if you get a chance have a look at www.labradoodletrust.com (and am going to be really cheeky and put some info on about our show - just in case you have UK members and they've not heard about it

)

helllllooo and WELCOME MIA

fudgey is soooooooooo cute!!!
love the pics.

we have members that are from all over and so many others like you, help out doodles either thru fostering,
one has a non profit org for assistance doodles for people in need of them, and other members who like you do charity
fundraisers and more.

its great seeing how many doodle parents fall in love with this breed and end up helping them out.

have a great day!

fudgepuddle · 05-28-2009, 10:08 AM

thanks Annemarie

I was in New York at the start of the month, what an amazing place you live in!

We kept looking for doodles in central park, but only saw one in the distance

Wish we'd met before - we wanted to take home some fancy new york sparkly collars for fudgey & scrumps, and really struggled finding a petshop in NY, but eventually found one near bloomingdales. I'll have to put a pic on of them modelling their "I (heart) NY" collars

Raleighsmom · 05-28-2009, 10:30 AM

HI again...... meant to say i live about a 9hour drive NORTH of NEW YORK CITY as i very close to Canada

where i live is the country with lots of land and lakes actually one great Lake: lake ontario and then finger lakes and other lakes
tons of wildlife and peace/quiet so my doodles run on a 6 acre backyard we listen to crickets, peepers, hawks and my doodles barking at times

How noble of you to dedicate so much of your time to this amazing breed!!
I was born in Southern England (many,many, many years ago...I'm an Air Force brat!!) I would love to go there again some day.
Without digging out my birth certificate.....I have this picture my mom recently gave me...

On the back she wrote.....
" Little Park House, Brimpton...I think in Maidenhead
The caretaker told me it was Queen Victoria's retreat. It used to have flowers all around & was well groomed. Some kind of pond on the left, in his time..
He said people would come to view it, on tours or something."
We lived on the bottom flat. Kind of spooky looking!
I have tried to find info on line about it but had no luck.
Do you know if it still exists?

fudgepuddle · 06-01-2009, 07:45 AM

that's an amazing photo!!!! and how very interesting

I've no idea whether it still exists or not, but you might try having a look on 'google earth' if you have a postal code or better address? Maidenhead is about 1 1/2 hours away from us, but it's another really beautiful part of the country

thanks again everyone for your kind comments, we're starting at puppy class tonight with scrumpy, so wish us luck!
