This note is from Kristen of Alpharetta Ga - 'Bianca' is a Manny and Pepper child. Hello Sue & Kelly, She is absolutely fabulous! What a personality! She has just moved right in & rules the roost! The other dogs get along great with her and they play great! The morning I brought her home she came in the door, jumped up on the couch and then stole a cracker away from Tate, my 2 year old. She already struts around the house like she has been here for years! And I am completely spoiling her rotten! She goes everywhere with me, for coffee & lunch with the "girls", tennis, soccer and all of the neighborhood kids are dropping by to play with her! She just loves it all! The vet said she was perfectly healthy, (although Bianca was very displeased with the visit!), and her knees where perfect. She is doing great in the crate...sleeps all night without a peep! I had a little trouble getting her to eat twice a day & not be used to nibbling all day. But I tried beef broth on her food & that seems to work. Next she will probably demand steak! And she will probably get it, too!! She is just so gorgeous! She has the most beautiful little face, I have gotten so many compliments on her! She is asleep on my lap right now as I was surfing the internet for her new Coach collar & leash! ;-) She is the perfect personality, pure diva, but is always ready for adventure & to play & rough & tumble with the boys! I could ramble on forever about her! I will keep in touch & send photos! Thank you so much! You have bred the most wonderful pup. She is the most fabulous birthday present and we already are totally in love! (Even my husband...who knows how much trouble he is in when I told him her dog bed is coming from Tiffany's !!) Thank you again so much ! Kristin 2nd email from Kristin Kelly and Sue, It has been a month now since we got our Bianca from you and she is doing wonderful! She has fit right in with our family. Her personality and disposition are just fantastic! She came to us very happy to be around children and our boys have loved that she is so anxious to play with them! You were both so accommodating answering my many emails and phone calls! I searched for over a year for just the right poodle and you were more than willing to answer all of my questions. The vet said she is perfectly healthy and I get compliments all the time on what a beautiful face she has!! Someone even asked me if I would consider her for commercial or print work!!! Thank you again for a being so nice to deal with and for providing good service. I appreciate the fact that you are keeping in touch and checking up on us. I would not hesitate to recommend one of your poodles to anyone interested! Sincerely, Kristin _________________________________________________________________ Casey - California Oliva and Pretty Boy's Black Female 'Sophie' Kelly- Just thought I would send you an update on Sophie. She is doing great and is the best dog ever. We are currently attending obedience classes (just started) and she is about 10 inches at the shoulder and maybe 7 lbs at 6 1/2 months. I didn't know if you would want that for your breeding records. She She doesn't like to sit still for measurements. She loves all people and animals and has remained black. She loves to cuddle, run and roll in the grass. She has a little bit of an independent streak at times but what else would you expect from a teenager! She doesn't whine or cry and rarely barks.She has a little half bark half growl that is very easy on the ears. One of her favorite games is to run while we pretend to catch her. She literally flies off the deck when playing this and goes through the dog door at a dead run. She is no delicate flower that is for sure. She loves my brothers 120 lb lab and wags her tail at strangers. She is very loving and playful. Thanks for the wonderful dog. Casey 
_________________________________________________________________ Donna - Atlanta GA Spaz and Pretty Boy's Tri Color Parti son 'Boomer' Hi Kelly and Sue! BOOMER is doing GREAT! We just LOVE LOVE LOVE him! He has brought so much joy into our lives! He is a shy guy and takes a while for him to warm up around strange environments, people included. He's a cautious doggie! But, he is totally our pup pup and loves us to death if we are gone for even 15 minutes! He's getting big, too! I will send you pics as I was just thinking of you all and was going to forward some pics once I have them downloaded. Hope all is well with you. We've gotten a LOT of positive comments about him... what kind of dog is he? what a cute dog, cute, cute, cute! Everyone loves boomer! Talk to you soon! Donna Hayley ps He's very smart, too! Pretty good on the toilet training... hardly any accidents inside, and it's always our fault... he's getting so good letting us know he has to go potty! He can sit, lay down, play dead, and is learning to roll over on command! We're still working on the come command, but it always works when we add "treat"! at the end of the command, come! come, boomer,,,, treat! he's right there! WE LOVE HIM! _________________________________________________________________ Ashley - Atlanta GA Roxie and Manny Black and White Parti Boy 'Zero' Ashley is a groomer and we get the most creative and great pictures from her! We love seeing what creative hair doo is coming up next!  The Joker! Happy Halloween! Are you sure you guys aren't crossing your poodles with springs? 'Cause he has springs for legs, lol. He jumps like a cat! It cracks us UP! ~ashley~
It's Zero's birthday! He is doing great. His coat cam in and it is perfect. It was so funny to watch all his spots develop as he grew. He's about 14" and 15 lbs or so. I am growing his coat out. I'll send you more pics once he is all poofy. He got neutered about a month ago. I wanted to wait till he was pretty much done growing before I did that. But now he is back in daycare and is the class clown/stunt man. Here are some pics. That standard is his girlfriend, Lola, hahaha. They love each other! Have a great day! _________________________________________________________________ Dee - South Carolina Olivia and Bailey's Son Kosmo Hi Kelly & Sue, Attached is a picture of Kosmo. He is a big baby, a true doll. Dee 
_________________________________________________________________ | This note is from Liz of Las Vegas Nevada - 'Marley' is Olivia and Doodle Male Apricot Puppy Sue, We can not thank you enough for all you did to assist us in getting the greatest puppy! He is everything you said, loving, fun and really cute. It took him all of 5 minutes to have the house cased out and is running all over right now! He has a favorite red ball and is chasing it all over! I was alittle nervous about this process, but it has worked out so well! He is really terrific and it was such an easy thing to do. I would be happy to act as a reference for you if anyone else has questions about adopting a puppy out of state. Thank you so much again, and Marley has already worked his way into our hearts and family!

Trinice - Snellville, GA Olivia and Doodle Female Apricot Puppy 'Jade' Hi Kelly, & Sue I just wanted to write to you to say thanks again for our precious little Jade. She is the sweetest and cutest little puppy. She has adjusted very well to her new surroundings really fast, but it could also be that we are spoiling her so much. She is a very playful and spunky little pup and has a personality all her own already. I would also like to say that I would highly recommend your kennell to anyone who is looking for a poodle. We can tell that she was very well taken care of during her first 8 weeks after her birth. We also appreciate you all meeting us half way to pick her up. If I know of anyone who is looking for a poodle I will definitely send them your way. Also, if we ever decide to get another puppy we will look no further than your kennell. Thanks so much for making it such an easy transition for Jade, because she is such a happy puppy and I know that it had a lot to do with her first 8 weeks with you all. Thanks again, Trinice P.S. I will keep you updated soon with some pictures, because I'm sure you all miss her cute little face. Take Care! :-) _________________________________________________________________
Debbie - Savannah GA Olivia and Doodle's Silver Female 'Sadie' Dear Sue, Yes, Snickerdoodle has a new name. The old one was just too much of a mouthful, and seemed inappropriate for such a tiny pup, so we changed it (for the last time!) to Sadie. Anyway, at the end of 10 days with us, she has fit right into the family. Truff (my male poodle) seems to view her as *his* 1st birthday present; a shiny new squeaky toy all his own. He's forever on her, searching diligently for her squeaker (and from the sound of her, he's found it several times!), but she is gamely jumping right back on him, and has backed him off on many an occasion! Her appetite is growing exponentially. I kept her on your puppy food mixed with goat milk for the first week, but during that week she managed to sneak a couple of mouthfuls of Truff's food, and after that she had no use for plain old dry with milk. So, I started adding meat to the mixture (puppy formulated, of course), and now she cleans her bowl in record time. She also tries to clean Truff's and Libby's (my German shepherd) bowls! If they don't clean them up, I have to take them off the floor to keep Sadie from stuffing herself! She's getting FAST too! In the last couple of days of taking her out front to pee-pee, she's shown amazing spurts of speed, especially when I try to pick her up and bring her back in! I wish I could let her out in the 3/4 acre fenced back yard, but I learned recently that we have a quote "huge snake" back there (according to our pest service who was checking our termite traps), and as small as Sadie is, she'd make a large snake a good snack. So, I take her out front at all hours of the day and night, but I'm going to have to start leashing her soon, or she'll be off and down the street at a pace I couldn't possibly match. Did I mention she's growing more curls? Yup...they're coming in on her legs and neck, and I'm hoping that once she has her first clipping, all that straight hair on her back will resolve into poodle curls. Cross your fingers! She's also showing much more silver at the roots, but I won't know if she's solid silver or parti colored until she's a little older and properly clipped. I hope you're feeling better by now. I know how debilitating it is to take a road trip when you don't feel well, and I certainly appreciate you bringing her all the way to me doubly as much, knowing as I do now that you weren't well. Thanks sooooo much! Well, that's about it for the girl for now, except to mention that she's also VERY intelligent. She was already responding to "Snickerdoodle", and when we abruptly changed her name to "Sadie" it only took her a couple of days to begin responding to that. She's coming when I whistle (most of the time....selective hearing is a poodle trait!), and she's SO affectionate with Quinnie and me. We love her to pieces. Best Wishes, Debbie P.S. - If you ever want to ask any questions, please feel free to write back. I'll send more pictures as I take more and as she changes with time.
****Another Update on Sadie**** 
Dear Sue, As for using me for a reference, I am more than happy to provide that service for you after you. Rest assured I will tell any potential customers what a delightful puppy I got from you, how accommodating you were to my needs, and that I would happily buy from you again! BTW, if you wish, feel free to give them my phone number, too. I don't mind a bit. Sadie is doing wonderfully. She and Truff are practically glued at the hip, and she is SOOO smart! We all get a kick out of watching her antics. Feel free to contact me anytime, and *do* let me know if you want me to continue sending updates and pictures of Sadie. I love doing it, but I don't want to bother you if you would rather I didn't. Best, Debbie

Joe - Portland, OR Roxie and Manny Silver and White Parti Color M ale 'Colt' I would highly recommend Oak Knoll Kennels. Working with Sue & Kelly was a breeze. Not only were they well informed about their dogs, but they also asked all of the right questions for their potential owners. The transaction was easy too, and the puppy arrived clean and safely. The vet check up was flawless too. And the puppy is a beauty....and extremely well-socialized. Everyone loves him! -Joe _________________________________________________________________ Tammy - Virginia Spaz and Pretty Boy's Chocolate Parti Boy 'Hershey' Here is Hershey he likes the snow.

_________________________________________________________________ Elizabeth - GA Olivia and Bailey's Daughter - 'Isabella' I thought I would update you and let you know that “Isabella” is doing wonderfully. Our other dogs are adjusting to a frisky puppy and are playing nicely with her. She has such a wonderful personality and makes us laugh all the time. Her favorite toy is a small stuffed shark that she has decided is the best of the choices. She has it in her mouth in the picture. Thanks.  _________________________________________________________________ From Michele in Florida Anton is a Roxie and Manny son He loves the pond! How's everything going with you and the new baby?
