Families who went home with a baby

Stories

These are letters from people who bought a puppy from us. We keep them because they tell the truth about the breed better than we can.

Moose

My granddog, and a lifelong dog

Moose is from Zippy and Baruch. If there is any doubt about Giant Schnoodles and just how awesome they are, Moose settles it. He is still a young dog, full of energy, yet he knows to be still with Lucas. Within a few short weeks of coming home at 14 weeks he was ringing the bell to go outside. He will pee and poop on command, is kennel trained, and knows sit, lay down, stay, drop it, leave it, and go to his porch on one-word commands. He loves people even more than other dogs. He is protective of his family but not aggressive. He has never growled at the babies — they can pull his beard and take toys from his mouth. Thank you for this lifelong dog.

Lillie

Going to a service-dog trainer

Lillie is Baruch and Zippy's daughter, sold to a man who trains service dogs — he thought it was high time he had his own. At a little over five months she knew sit, down, wait, up, shake, and roll over. She waits to eat, sleeps great in her crate, plays well with kids and with Willie the service dog, and had not had an accident in the house in weeks. Everyone who meets her loves her personality.

Bosley

He's so perfect

Bosley is a hugger. One night he pranced over from the fireplace and gave Josh a big bear hug. Josh looked up and said, he's so perfect. At four months he knew sit, lay down, and come. Completely crate trained and housebroken. Gentle with Mimi, the five-year-old toy poodle, who remains queen. He does not shed at all. They're not just a pet — they're a family member. I would recommend everyone have a Giant Schnoodle.

Selena

A special girl for an outdoorsy home

Selena is a very sweet and playful dog who loves making new friends. House training was easy even though she can be quite stubborn. She loves being outside and will play in a hose or creek as long as you let her. She needed a very outdoorsy owner, which she got. These are great dogs — beautiful — but you have to be willing to get through the next two or three years of puppy extremeness. We used to raise Labs in Nebraska. They do not hold a candle to the Schnoodles as an overall family dog.

Poppy

Formerly Jasmine

Poppy exceeded in every way what we hoped for. She adjusted wonderfully in a short time — a testament to the nurturing she received at the farm. She eats and drinks well, whimpers at the front door when she needs out, comes when called, found a favorite hall spot where she can see everyone, and — amazingly — slept through the night in her crate from the start. We know how proud you would be of her.
