Dear Julie & Rai at Manorborn,
I felt it would be interesting and informative to your
future puppy families to hear my story and experience in how we came to
choose our perfect puppy and breeder.
I
really hadn't realised just how much information and types of
labradoodles there were around; in look, temperament, fur and even
facially. I thought it would be an easy task. I was
baffled by the information on the internet.
Eventually I came across an E book which I purchased on Labradoodles.
It was a fantastic read; in turn this lead me to various other websites
around the world; which then lead me back to Manornborn again!
Great!!! ( I thought!) I was nearly there now and it was a toss up
between two breeders, so my search had been condensed greatly.
I was
now in search to find one "in real life" instead of looking at
photo's on-line. I visited my local parks and saw various sizes and
looks to the "labradoodle" but none of them looked like the ones on
Manorborn's website that I so longed for; my search had come to a stand
still.
I asked everyone I met with a labradoodle over the course of many
more months where they had bought their doodles from and took note. Some
people said they had paid very little and some had paid more! Some came
from the breeders unwell (they said) and some had their
puppies couriered to them from the breeders which I had read is not
generally considered good practice. I knew I wanted to see the parents
of my puppy and where he had lived for his first 8 weeks of life anyway.
I was nearly ready to give up on my search altogether because I
found the research all too much and wasn't sure whom to trust. I called
Manorborn and another breeder one more time asking both breeders the
same question.
"If I can't visit you before I buy a puppy from you. How do I
know I'm going to get an authentic ASD like the ones on your
website?"
I wasn't prepared to go ahead and spend a huge amount of
money on a dog that looked like the ones I'd seen in my local park
when I wanted one like the one's I'd seen and read about on-line
...I felt deflated.
I remember when calling you to ask this question the patience you
and your daughter had with me as I told you how I was feeling and
you listened and answered all my questions and kindly lead me to
another owner of one of your puppies not too far
from me. Do you remember that?
I went to see Muddy....I was delighted. There was no question after that; you were the right breeders for me and Muddy looked just like my perfect puppy from your website and
being patient and reading up on choosing the right puppy and breeder
really does pay off.
Manorborn in my opinion are the most pleasant and informative Labradoodle
breeders to talk to and
are truly dedicated to this wonderful breed. I felt rest-assured my
puppy was coming from a great breeding stock and it was worth the
wait and patience to find him .
We joined Manorborn's waiting list and counted the months
then the days.
Our beautiful Diesel was born 3 rd March 2010. Manorborn
sent me photo's every week and updated me regularly.
At week five we went to visit; you can imagine how
excited we were. Greeted by two wonderful ladies as nice in person
as on the phone and walked into this beautiful and clean home to see
our new baby and his parents.
Before we went in we had to have our shoes dipped in
disinfected and our hands disinfected too. I was pleased to do this.
It was another confirmation to me that Julie & Rai were considering
the health of the puppies and I now understand why you just can't
"turn up!". They take no chances.
On collection day we came home with all the correct
paperwork, food, puppy pack and Rai had spent along time with me
showing me the health checks of Diesel's parents and beyond. My vet
was very impressed by this when I took Diesel for his first check.
I am now a member of "The
UK Doodle Club Labradoodle Forum" where I have found new friends and
doodle lovers alike and met up with a few too.
In a nutshell...
Thanks Julie & Rai from Manorborn; Diesel is everything we wanted
and more!!! I enclose some photos taken today.
Lots Of Love

Hi Julie and Rai,
I haven't sent you any photo's recently so thought it was about time i
did.
Its been nearly three years now since we first met you both and your
beautiful Labradoodles and pick up our wonderful doodle who is such a
special part of our family.
Over these past 3 years of owning Scruffy and coming in contact with other
dogs one thing has become so clear, the importance to chose a GOOD breeder,
a breeder who genuinely cares about their dogs, their health, nutrition,
temperament and well being, and will do their utmost to make sure that their
dogs have not only the best start, but best life in a happy home. I feel so
thankful that we did find that 'GOOD' breeder at Manorborn.
They are truly wonderful dogs, who if you put in the time are so easy to
train and willing to please. I have had more positive comments about Scruffy
than I can ever remember, and she has helped quite a few adults and
children I know ,overcome their fear of dogs.
Thank you once again, and keep up the good work, we need breeders like you!!
Lots of love
Dawn, Mark, Grace, Lily and May and of course Scruffy xx
Scruffy F1 English Labradoodle

Hi Julie and Rai,
I just thought I'd send you some gorgoeus
pictures of the delightful, yet still naughty, Toby and Bertie. They are
both so gorgeous but different in their little ways. They're still getting
into mischief, as you know, and also thanks for all the advice you've given
me since their last escapade. It means so much that you're both there for
me even though I've had Toby for over two years, Thank goodness I can ring
you!
Bertie is much better now and back to his usual
mischievous self, he is so clever, he isn't called Bertie Houdinikins for
nothing. Toby stands watch while Bertie does the deed, they also share the
proceeds of whatever they've done. They also have a new game, a cross
between hide and seek and 'tig'. It's so funny to watch.
They're still turning heads as they are so
stunning to look at. The vet who treated Bertie thought he was fabulous, I
gave him your contact number, I hope you don't mind.
I've sent you a copy of my favourite photos,
hope you like them.
Thanks again for being such caring breeders, I
must bring them back for a visit, maybe in summer.

_______________________________________________________________ Hi Rai and Julie, Hope you are both keeping well. Here is an updated photo of Dexy in our garden. She is absolutely adorable and we are all madly in love with her. She is admired everywhere we go and a walk in the park can take twice as long as normal since so many people want to stroke her and ask what type of dog she is. She has an amazing temperament and is fantastically sociable and super intelligent! I have to thank you again for breeding such a beautiful, lovely natured dog who has added so much happiness to our lives. Kind regards Stella

Hi Guys, we just received an email to say that one of
our doodles from Corrie's litter, 2 years ago is in a music band, getting in the
limelight.
Amanda & Family Lulu's Blog Hi Julie,
My husband has had no
allergic reaction
to Lu Lu whatsoever. He can't believe that
he can give her a cuddle and often does, as he has never been able to
even touch other dogs.
I have attached some pics and will send some
more to you or website. Sorry for the delay but a bit bogged down with
my sons leavers yearbook. Will keep in touch.
love
Amanda and family xxx
