 Hi there,
     I'm writing this at Windie's request, of Calla lily Cavapoo's.  My name is Vivian --- and I live in LA (although my parents are in -------- NJ - do you know it?).  I actually visited Windie's house in Oklahoma this past summer.  She is wonderful, and the pups are in fantastic care.  I have the sweetest little puppy from Windie that I got in October.  She nanny-ed him over here personally.  His name is Jasper.  Photo attached.  He was 90% potty trained when he got here, and has the sweetest, most affectionate temperament, and is so smart.  Everyone loves him.  I keep telling Windie that he is perfect.
Best regards,
Vivian 

 Hi!

     I wanted to drop a quick note to assure you that these Cavapoo's and Windie are the BEST.  I have always had labs and I had to put my lab down at age 14.  I swore that I would not get another dog because my heart was so broken.  I was on facebook and saw a picture of a friend with the most precious puppy.  I emailed her and she told me the name of the breed.  I was so curious about the breed that I did my research and by God's grace was in touch with Windie. After we passed the dog owner test, it was time to get our new puppy, BOB!  Windie flew with Bob and we met in Denver.  I knew on the phone that Windie was honest, etc but when we got our puppy home, I knew this puppy was loved like no other.  They are so comfortable and the first night he acted like he had been with us forever. Since then, Bobby has been a delight.  People stop me on the street to comment on Bob's "energy" and how he should be a therapy dog because he makes everyone smile.  I have to agree that he does have this good energy about him.  He loves everyone and has so many dog friends!   He makes us laugh everyday!  We have a 3.5 year old and he is so good with her.  We are just thrilled!  He is loving his life in Aspen... he is here with me now in my office asleep at my feet.  However, I know in 30 minutes it will be time for our snow hike.  Anyway, so much for a short note but I just can't tell you how much we love our dog and how happy I am that I met Windie.  These dogs rock!  Like any dog, you need training, routine, etc... but he is the love of our lives!  I will send you a picture of him as a puppy and another one of him asleep with his office friend who is a Labrador in a separate email.

Windie, Bob wants to be on your website...Can you post some pics of him!?  I will send more to you if you would like.. thanks

Sincerely,
Megan 

 I'm happy to provide a reference for Windie (Calla Lily Cavapoo.)  
     My girlfriend Nicole and I purchased a cavapoo from her in June we named Hudson.  He is a wonderful dog who is playful, healthy, and a major part of our family.  And to Hudson's advantage, he is exceptionally cute.  His good nature and wonderful personality have made Hudson an excellent pet that we are proud to own.
     As for Windie's services, we are beyond pleased with her company.  Windie maintained regular detailed communication with us during our waiting period and was always available to answer our many emails with questions.  When puppies were available she sent pictures and YouTube videos of them and was always happy to oblige our requests to take just one more for us.  It was clear from the beginning that she took her role as a breeder very seriously and cared deeply about the home she was sending Hudson to.  And as confirmed by our vet, Windie went above and beyond in the amount of pre-care that Hudson received before we got him which I think speaks directly to the quality of her business.  
     We opted to have Windie travel with Hudson to drop him off to us so I also had the privilege of meeting her personally.  She is a wonderful and caring person and after having met her face to face, I feel even better about our decision to choose her.  We still maintain contact with her and send updates when we can about Hudson and how he is doing. 
     I offer my highest recommendation of Windie and would strongly encourage anyone looking for this type of dog to choose her.  If you have any specific questions, both Nicole and I are open to you contacting us directly.    I do believe that our experience with this breeder was exceptional and beyond what some of our friends have experienced purchasing their dogs. 
     I have attached some pictures of Hudson from this year.  He so well behaved that he comes to work with me.  He's a bit of clown and enjoys sleeping on his back with his legs up in the air. 
All the Best,
Christian 

 Our family recently adopted one of Windie's Cavapoo puppies.  He arrived at the end of October and we could not be more pleased!
We did a lot of research and spoke to several breeders.  Windie exhibited the most expertise, knowledge, and compassion.  My husband was particularly impressed with the Calla lily Website.  It was our first time adopting a puppy sight unseen.  However, in the end, we felt very confident about moving forward with Windie.
I have to tell you the adoption process went very smoothly.  And when we met our "Dino" (pronounced like Deeno) in Boston we were elated.  He arrived looking a bit weary, but so sweet, clean and had festive ribbons on his crate!  
Since his arrival, he has been an utter joy.  Dino is loving, playful, very social and so smart.  We have four teenagers with very different personalities and he loves them each.  He is always ready to fetch and play, but if we are in a quiet mode, he adjusts beautifully.  He slept through the night from the very first night.
Now, we can't imagine life without Dino.  He is awesome.  I have had many other great dogs of the spaniel breed, but Dino takes the cake.  There is no question if we add to the household we would return to Windie and her delightful Cavapoo's.
My husband and I agree that Windie while very professional shows love and attachments all her puppies and it is reflected in Dino's content personality, A-1 health, and beautiful coats/eyes, 

We are smitten.

Hello,
Windie asked me to send you a note about my experience with her.  I adopted a puppy from her a few years ago and I can tell you that our Cody is the best dog in the world.  I was never a dog owner and had no idea what to do or what it would be like to have a dog, so you can imagine I was a bit nervous and gun-shy about it.  I can tell you it was the MOST pleasant experience I could have ever imagined.  From the first conversation I had with her I could tell that she was one of the kindest, sweetest, and honest people I had ever come in contact with.  She was patient and answered all my questions over and over again (and I had a lot) both before I got Cody and for weeks after (I still go to her for advice).  I could tell from talking to her what a sweet and caring person she was.  And her puppies are just the same way. Their personalities and kind demeanor are a direct result of her.  I could not have asked for a more loving, sweet, kind-hearted doggie than my Cody.
From the moment he arrived at our house he has been a pleasure.  He trained like a dream (Windie begins that process at her house) and was instantly a part of our family.  He has been with us for 2 1/2 years now and has brought so much joy into our house you can't imagine. 
Cody is good with children (I have 2), other animals and of course people.  He's nearly always by my side or following me around.  I could not have asked for a better pet. 
I would HIGHLY recommend getting a Cavapoo as a pet in your home and for sure adopting him/her from Windie.  You will not be sorry!!  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  I have attached a picture of my dog for you to see.
Good Luck, puppies page!!!

 Good Morning Windie,
     I hope all is well with you, your family and all of your adorable cavapoos!  Yesterday was Sadie’s birthday and we had a celebration.  My daughter made special doggy cupcakes for the two dogs (My other dog’s birthday is in 2 weeks).  We absolutely LOVE Sadie!!!!  She is truly such a special part of our family!  It is amazing how much JOY she brings to us all………..ESPECIALLY JOEY!  It is quite amazing how Joey and Sadie have bonded!  Joey is Sadie’s favorite family member (outside of my other dog, Febe…LOL) 
     I just wanted to reach out and say “Thank You” for being such a blessing to our family!  I think of you often and continue to pray for the adoption of your sweet son to fall into place….. if it hasn’t already.
     Isn’t the picture of the two dogs adorable?!  You might notice a small bald spot on Sadie underneath her chin.  That is from her fence collar.  Unbeknown to us, we were keeping her collar on her too many hours during the day.  We now take it off more often, so she is starting to grow her beautiful red hair back in that spot. 
Many Blessings,
Joanne

I was so heartbroken when my dog passed away.  It took me over 10 years to be comfortable with the idea of having another dog.  When we decided we were ready for a pup, we were thankful to have come across Windie and her Cavapoos. Windie genuinely cares about all her pups, their health, their well-being, where it is they'll be going home to.  I loved that about Windie because taking care of a puppy is work, but its good work and they deserve loving homes. 
     Mila was worth the wait and she's been such a blessing.  She's a gentle and happy girl.  She's adventurous, playful, yet so well behaved.  I'm overcome with happiness when I think of her.  She's 12 months old now and we're ready for another.

Thanks Windie!

Hi,
I just thought I would let you know that we are all in love with Rocky! He is so smart and so lovable. He is adjusting well to his new surroundings. We went to the vet this morning and everything looked good. The vet commented about how smart he was. I just thought I would let you know how much fun we are having with him. Thanks for all of your help. I'm sure I may have questions down the road. Thanks for everything!
Rocky is a dream come true!

 I hope all is well with you and your family.

I have been meaning to write to you for a long time to let you know that we have relocated (temporarily/military) to Florida. Henry did so well with the move and seems so at home in our new house. He is the perfect dog for us and we could not love him more!!! For the most part is just mellow and hangs out with us all time. We home school now so he has people around all the time. Every once in awhile the comedian comes out in him and he is a total goof ball.

Thanks again for trusting us with him. We are a forever cavapoo family now and can't wait to get a puppy from you again in the future. I think Henry really enjoys being the center of our world right now.

Blessings,
The O. Family 

Windie asked me to provide a reference to you, and I am more than happy to do so.  Our Sophie is the most wonderful dog. She is now 6 years old and has been an absolute delight since the day we brought her home as a puppy.  She is bright and affectionate and has the most perfect personality.  She is great around adults and our five grandchildren, who range in ages from two to eight.  We were impressed with this family when we visited their home and saw the facilities.  Each puppy is given special personal attention and has time with family members before adoption.  I had never seriously trained a dog before we got Sophie and I planned only to do some very basic obedience training with her.  

      She was so bright and learned so quickly, however, that we not only ended up continuing our training we began competing in American Kennel Club (AKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC) obedience and agility trials, and I became an obedience and agility instructor at the Tulsa Dog Training Club.  Sophie now has twelve obedience and agility titles, and helps with demonstrations in the classes that I teach.  She has won more ribbons that we can count.  

       Most importantly, however, she loves our family and we love her more that we can express.  We have had poodles in the past.  The Cavapoo is, as far as I am concerned, the perfect breed, bringing the best of both breeds together in one dog.  I cannot say enough good things about Windie and the love and care that goes into each litter.  If you have specific questions, we would be more than happy to visit with you.  I have attached a couple of photos of our Sophie!  She is the perfect dog!

Just wanted you to know what a positive experience we had while adopting our puppies.  We will forever be grateful to have found such a wonderful breeder, from which to adopt our babies!  We researched different breeds, as well as different breeders, and absolutely chose the best breed and breeder!!  All the information you provided to prepare our home for the puppies was invaluable!  Since we picked-up our puppies from your home, we were able to see the kennels and runs and found them to be exceptionally clean and well-maintained.  Healthy puppies come from healthy homes and our puppies received the highest marks from our veterinarian upon our return home.
     Our puppies, Ella and Chotsy, have “put the smile back on our faces”, after the loss of our dog this past April.  The love and joy they bring cannot be measured or expressed with words. It is obvious these puppies came from a loving and nurturing environment…and we could not be more pleased!
     We will, periodically, update you with photos as they mature.  Thank you so much…and please feel free to use us as a reference anytime!!!

 Hi -
     Windie mentioned that you are thinking of adopting a puppy from her. We have a very wonderful and sweet cavapoo from Windie. We got her when she was 3-4 months old, and she's now 4.5 years old. We also know a few other people in our town who have dogs from Windie. Windie and her family are very caring and love the puppies from day 1...which means we all get very loved and loving puppies.
     She delivered our dog to us in NY -- and when she left, she had tears in her eyes. Our dog is very smart and she doesn't shed. She is very sweet and loving, and very good with kids (I have 3 kids). She was fully trained within a month of arriving at our house and never has an accident.
     If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
Good luck!
Jen 

Hi Windie,
      So sorry that I haven't been in touch in such a long time.  I think of you often and hope you and your family are doing well.  What can I say about my boy Cody?  He is an amazing little guy and we just can't get enough of him.  Every night my husband I look at him lying on our bed and can't believe how lucky we are to have him.  He is the most mellow, loving, well-behaved dog in the world.  He puts a smile on my face every day.  Recently, my daughter had a party and her theme was Legally Blonde.  We took pictures of her and Cody for the decorations and I thought you might like to see them.  The one in this e-mail is only of Cody.  I will send another e-mail with the one with my daughter (my e-mail can't send both for some reason).

     Well, have a wonderful holiday and happy new year to you, your family and all the new little doggies!!
Love,

Lisa

We just adopted a Cavapoo puppy from Calla Lilly Cavapoo's.  We met Windie at the airport (nanny transport) last Tuesday -- which I highly recommend.  The puppies stay with Windie as a carry-on.  The flight to us was delayed 2-1/2 hours, so we were happy the puppy was with her.  Our puppy, Holly, is the sweetest thing! 

     Windie is wonderful!  She is always available by e-mail for all our questions (we are first time puppy owners).  She is very informative with all the needs and suggestions for new puppies.  She is very organized, right down to the vaccination sheets provided with the puppies.  We took Holly to our vet here and he was very happy with her vaccination record.  She is very healthy and clean.  He said you could tell she was well cared for and handled well because she was so good natured.  He said it's important for puppies to be touched and handled so that they are comfortable with people.  It's only been a week, but Holly has settled in with us quite easily.  It was also nice that Windie begins crate training with the puppies because it made the transition so much easier.  Holly knows to go outside - we didn't need to do much to "train" her.  We did hang a bell at her nose level by the door.  We ring it every time we take her out so that she'll learn to ring the bell when she needs to go out.  She is very comfortable in her crate at night.  Windie said she may whine or whimper at first because she'll be missing her siblings, but she didn't.  We placed the crate in my daughter's bedroom where she could see her and she didn't make any fuss whatsoever!  I take her out first thing in the morning and she's great!

    I would certainly recommend Calla Lilly Cavapoo's to you.  Windie is a gem.  You will receive a puppy that has had lots of attention, care and loving during its first weeks of life -- setting the stage for a well adjusted and happy dog who is well on its way to easy training -- which makes everyone happy!

I wish you much happiness with your new puppy. 
-- Cheri 

 Hello Windie,

I wanted you to know that though we have only had your "Molly" our Casey for now going on 6 days, we all agree that she is much more fun and lovable than we ever expected!  She has wrapped us all around her little paw and we adore her!  There have been many of our friends who have met her and quickly claim that she is the kind of puppy they would all love to have.  Both laid back and playful, good natured, easy to love and smart, she continues to amaze us!  Thank you for all you did to infuse her with love and a gentle nature!

hugs to you

Hi Windie - I just wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put into your little puppies before they leave you.  Our veterinarian was impressed as well.  As you know, we picked up "Sugar" on Friday and she has been such a delight ever since.  She is happy and eager to please...slept through the night on her first night here (of course she had a 10 year old sleeping next to her!) and was passed from person to person over the Easter weekend.  She is so sweet and playful and all of us just love her!  Even our 13 year old Lab is slowly coming around!  Again, thank you...and, rest assured, Sugar is good hands and loved by all!

Hi Windie,

We are just in love with Tweety! He is the sweetest dog we have ever seen! Everywhere we go people ask about him and say they have never seen such a cute dog! One thing I was going to ask you is: he goes #2 about 6 or 7 times a day. Is this normal for these guys? Thank you so much for everything. He acts like he has been a part of the family forever! Also, how is your sister in law. We have all of you in our prayers.

Heather

On the Maggie front what a sweet baby girl. We are still working on pottying outside. She has had about one accident per day but she will get it soon I am sure as now she knows that the spot we take her to in the yard means potty time. She went to the quilt store with me today while Shelby was at the movie. She was so tired she feel asleep on the cutting table with her head on a bolt of fabric. She moved her head a tiny bit and this women remarked that she thought she was a toy not our sweet big girl. Shots are scheduled for this coming Saturday. She and Meshach are getting along great. They are so funny when they play together. So that's about it. Thanks for checking on us. Hope all is well with your sister in law. Blessings!

 Happy New Year Windie! 
        Been meaning to write you sooner to send you these photos of Roscoe taken last December.  I apologize for the large file size and hope you’re able to download them okay.  Roscoe is doing great – he’s mellowed out some since turning 1.5 yrs old, but that may because most of his energy is consumed on his 2-3 hour daily walks, so when I come home from work, he’s like “ah yeah, hi!”.        But he’s always there to greet me at the door upon my return.  And he’s still as sweet and loving as he was when we first got him - we just adore and love him so much!  He loves to cuddle on our lap and still follows us (me mostly) everywhere.   Sean gets a kick out of it when he can sense Roscoe doesn’t want to be let down after being held.  He also is well trained but Sean complains he listens more to me that he does to him Ha-ha.  He can even pee on command with “Roscoe, go potty” which comes in handy.  
    I saw you changed the format of your website – looks great!  We still get people routinely asking us where we got Roscoe and usually point them to your website for more information.  Just last weekend, I met an owner of a black and white cavachon who is a little smaller than Roscoe but had similar face.  The lady was thinking of getting a second dog and really loved Roscoe’s look. She was also impressed with how well behaved and trained he was while we were at the park playing fetch – one of his favorite games!  Oh yeah, last we weighed him – he’s now at 20 lbs and we think this is where he’ll remain into adulthood.
    Looks like you’re keeping busy, your Feb. liter is gorgeous – so many reds!  And speaking of red, Roscoe has developed ruby cheeks/sideburns around his muzzle, it seemed to have happened overnight.  So cute!
    Here’s wishing you and your family a blessed New Year with better weather conditions than last year!

Hi Windie, long time between chats.   Milo has grown into a wonderful little man. He is so sweet tempered and playful with just the right amount of mommy-attachment. No momma's boy is he! He loves being outside regardless of the weather and he happily gets to play with his bffs Mocha and Torry all the time. I am thinking of enrolling him in good citizen training and then looking into his becoming a therapy dog. He now weighs just under 20 pounds and his coloring is beautifully brindled. We adore him! Hope all is well with your family and we wish you a joyful and abundant new year.
Peace,
Joan

Windie, Brent, Hunter and River-
 

Hello from Shelby and Clinton in MO.  We are just writing to let you know how happy we are with our puppy Bella [ formerly Betsy] born April 27 ,2008 from Hollie.  Things are just going wonderful!!  Bella just turned 8 months old and is the sweetest, best dog anyone could ask for.  She is the perfect balance of playful and lap dog which is exactly what my husband and I wanted.  Bella weighs approximately 10 pounds so far, she was the smallest of her litter, and definitely has a no-shed coat.  She is a joy to be around and has absolutely everyone in our family, including us, smitten.  She caught on very quickly to potty training and hasn't had an accident in months.  We have been working with her on tricks and it is already apparent how smart she is, she can sit, stay, lay down, shake, and do a very cute trick we call big beg where she jumps up and dances on her back legs while begging with her paws.  She is a total people person dog and is our little shadow anytime we are at home.
 

Windie, I have recommended you to a number of people when they ask where Bella came from. I think you do a wonderful job as a breeder and how well Bella is doing is a direct reflection of your love and care over her first 10 weeks.  We thank you so much for such a wonderful addition to our family.  We have attached some pictures from Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  Please feel free to use this in the reference section of your website if you want.  We hope the new year finds you and your family blessed and happy!!
 

Love,
Clint, Shelby, and Bella 

Hi Windie

...we are doing great

...he is everything you said and more

...he is doing fantastic

...vet checked him out and said he looks great.
 So far...he is eating, drinking and sleeping well

..not to much wining at night

...makes it through for 8 hours just as you said and is a HAPPY puppy!!!!

You have done a wonderful job of raising your puppies and I thank you so very much

...How was your flight to LAX..is the other puppy in Korea yet? I will be in touch!  
Thank you!!!
Lynne

Hope you and your family are all well. I was just in your website checking out the latest and I wanted to write you to let you know our latest.
     Sass is doing well, she's over the jet lag and sleeping well at night. No trouble controlling her bladder at night, but she is still having occasional accidents during the day. I think I may have given her too much 'free space' her first week here, so I've limited her space to three areas- her exercise pen, our kitchen and family room.  

My kids absolutely adore her and I must say, she is the cutest dog we've seen so far. So playful, and very fast too. She's been here a little over a week now, and it's amazing how much she's grown, not just in size but in her ability to do things. She now bounds over stairs that she needed help climbing up and down her first day in our house, she's running faster than my 8 year old, and she's recently let us hear her bark. She recognizes my 'I disapprove of that' sound, so it's easier to keep her from doing certain things like biting and chewing on things she shouldn't. I try to leave her in her pen for an hour or two everyday, esp after a play session, and she still doesn't like it, she fusses for about 10 minutes before giving up and napping. Eating is not a problem, she finishes her food quickly and sometimes asks for more. =) 

She is going in for her third round of vaccinations this week. The schedule is a bit different here. I hope it's not too unpleasant for her. Wish us luck. 

Let's talk soon. Enjoy the beautiful fall weather,

and have a great Thanksgiving!!
xoxo

 Hi Windie!
     Ceili is doing fantastic!!!  She is a fluff ball of energy and love. 
I was so thrilled to finally meet you on Monday!  I can’t tell you how appreciative I am that you raised Ceili in a loving and caring way for the first 10 weeks of her life!! 
    I took this past week off from work to hang out with Ceili. We are both adjusting very well. Mommy is the one that needs lots of training.   
The poor little girl has had a big adjustment to the city and all the noises associated with it. Thankfully I live near lots of green parks!!  She is sleeping throughout the night in her pen.  I have her crate in the pen but haven’t not closed the door on the crate.       I know this week has been a big scary experience for her so I do not want to force the issue just yet.  I have slept on the sofa near her pen and tonight will be the first night I leave her in the room by herself….this should be interesting!  I told my neighbors to prepare themselves. Yikes!   
     I want to make sure I am training Ceili and not Ceili training me!  
The vet loved her and told me that she has always wanted her Mom to get a Cavapoo.  They have a few as patients. So I am giving her your info.  Are any of your other pups in the Boston area?   
     I will send you pictures this week.  Ceili is too funny – I swear she poses for the camera.  My mother loves taking pictures and Ceili loves getting her picture taken.  As soon as my mother sends me some of the pictures I will forward them to you.  
     Again we are doing fantastic!!  I know the first few weeks are a huge adjustment for her but so far so good!!  I just love her and everyone I meet thinks she is the cutest puppy they have ever seen.  She is Miss Personality!! 
Thank you so much!

 Hi Windie,
It’s been too long but wanted to let you know how much we absolutely LOVE Willie.  He is by far, the best dog we have had ever.
He is smart, and lovable , and has a funny sense of humor.
He looks like a fluff ball, but acts like a real dog!  He loves to race through our pastures chasing rabbits and who knows what else at our ranch and discovered that he loves to swim in the pool too!  My kids adore him and he is lost with us as well.  
His favorite thing is to ride in the car to pick up kids and receives attention each time from everyone.  They all want to pet and hold him.  :)
He is perfectly crate trained (so easy!) and really smart.  He is obsessed with tennis balls and can catch them out of the air!  We can tell him things to go fetch , like a stuffed cat he likes named “kitty” and he will pick the cat out from other toys in the toy basket... :)  Speaking of cats, he loves our barn cats and thinks they like them too!
I have told a bunch of friends here about your dogs and so I’m hoping they will adopt one soon and see how great your dogs are too!  
We love Willie!  Thanks so much
Emily
Here’s some funny pictures of Willie, about 2 1/2 yrs..   He ended up around 24 pounds. 

Hi Windie!

          Hope you have enjoyed your summer!  We wanted to give you an update on our little girl.  Zoey (formerly Annessa from Max and Brandy’s litter) is such a wonderful addition to our family.  She is loving, sweet and playful.  She loves being with us and follows us wherever we go.  Everyone she meets becomes drenched with kisses.  They also say that they have never met such a sweet and happy puppy.  Even the neighborhood kids ask if Zoey can come out to play. 
Zoey also has a new cousin!  My sister has a mini goldendoodle named Gracie.  The two are inseparable!  Believe it or not she is also best friends with our neighbor’s outdoor cat, Lucky.  Lucky joins us on every walk we take with Zoey!  The neighbors think it is hilarious.
            Zoey is currently 6 months and weighs 12 lbs, but she is mostly fluff.  She does shed a very little, but the furminator does help to minimize it.  Zoey also just graduated from puppy school and did very well.  Potty training was a little difficult at first, mainly on our part, with learning her cues.  Thank you for your advice on limiting her roam space in the house.  Overall she was a dream to train and we are looking into training her as a therapy dog.
David and I miss your weekly updates and pictures.  I wanted to thank you again for all your help and advice through the adoption process.  Neither of us had ever owned a dog and we wanted to be the best doggie parents we could be.  We have attached a few photos of Zoey from the day we picked her up at the airport to today and we will send more in the future!

Love,
-David and Kate- 

 Hi Windie- 
Hope you are doing well. I just wanted to share with you how great Brandy is and some pictures.  I see that Oprah and Ranger had puppies and I would be happy to speak with possible families. Brandy is officially a therapy dog. She is registered with Therapy Dog International. Both my daughter and I took the test so we will be off to nursing homes, nurseries, etc. The hardest part of the test was that Brandy had to leave hot dogs placed on the floor. She is very sweet and playful. She is 19 pounds and has long legs. I would highly recommend getting a puppy from you and would be happy to be included on the reference page. My husband who was reluctant at first finally said a week ago that he is happy we got Brandy- that is huge. Also, Brandy is often rated the favorite dog of the neighborhood. We love her and have many more pictures if anyone has any questions- take care - Caren F. 

 Dear ______,

I just heard that you are looking in adding a new member in your family... I was looking for a few month myself 3 years ago, and like most people wanted a pure bread until I came across Cava- Poo's and Windy.... I adopted Piper my cava-poo 3 years ago and their is no word to explain how amazing she is, I had done a lot of research before finding her and Windy was THE best person breeding them.... Piper is my most cherish and fantastic addition to my household, she was extremely easy to train and is the most loving animal I have ever had. If you are looking for an addition to your family, Windy is the BEST person to trust...
I wish you you can get the most amazing moments my baby gives me...
Best,
Christophe 

 Hi Windie, 
We have had Bailey for only a month and a half but it feels like she has been a part of our family forever! She is so sweet and loving, and is doing very well with her training! We think she is the best puppy ever! She is so soft and so beautiful! She is wonderful with the kids and loves making new friends! People stop us on our walks to say hi to her and to tell us how cute she is! She had a doggie playdate the other day with Cody...also from you! They had a great time :) attached is one picture, but I'll send more!! 
Best,
 Jen  

 My timeline for a thank you note has come and gone, and Christmas has come and gone, as I had full anticipation of sending you a Christmas greeting..., and here we are a YEAR later!  My sincerest apologies!  
You have brought the greatest gift to us! Izzie (formerly Ginger) is our little joy!!!!  Her personality changes ALL of the time, and when you didn't think it was possible for her to get any sweeter, she DOES!!!!  She turned one on March 19th!!!, and we celebrated with an all natural doggie cake -- which she LOVED!  We also gave her a new toy duck which she can now call her own....she LOVES it!  We have some ducks that tend to want to land in our pool / pond, and she wanted so badly to chase after them or play with them -- not sure which one...lol!  Neil keeps pondering the idea of getting her a little brother or sister, but that FINAL decision will be up to him; I'm ready to add to the brood ;o)!  I have included a picture that went on our Christmas cardthis year; she was a bit done after 25 pictures set on auto timer, but we got ONE! - lol - Neil was a trooper to as his Saints were playing in a playoff game- GO SAINTS!  Thanks again for bringing us SUCH JOY!  Hope all is well with you all!!! and you all survived this crazy winter!  Yea SPRING!
THANKS A MILLION!
Love,
Paige & Neil 

 
       Absolutely!  They met for the first time on Christmas day.  The funniest thing is the picture of Lily eating Chloe's food.  Chloe is so picky about what she eats, but Lily will eat any and everything.  And their personalities are so interesting.  Cassie's other dog, Penelope, is a Shitzu and completely runs the show. 

     Lily can hold her own, but poor Chloe is so passive we had to separate them.  And just so you know, Chloe goes everywhere with us and everyone just loves her.  I have given out your website info to so many people and can't even count the number. 
In any case, I hope you had a great holiday and I hope your family is well!
Phillipa

 Hi Windie,
 

    I'm so glad you enjoyed the card/picture!  I'll try to hook up the camera and send you more!
    Yes, Tess' coat is amazing.  It is as soft as can be - not "wirey" or coarse.  She's soft like...hmmm, hard to describe...maybe cashmere?  Just fluffy and wonderful.  Yes, the girls LOVE her.  They are constantly hugging her and giving her attention.  It's a great distraction for them!  Tess has added so much to our lives!  We always talk about you, and how much you care for your dogs, and how much we appreciate what you do!  We wouldn't be surprised if we added another of your pups to our family in a few years.  It has been a wonderful experience.
    Tess is about 20 pounds now.  We'll check her weight in 2 months when she turns one! 
We wish you and your family a happy, healthy New Year!  All the best!
Heidi

Hi Windie,
     I hope you and your family are all well!  We are freezing in NY.  It has gotten a bit warmer, but it's colder than normal.
    Tess is doing great!  We all love her so much!  She's so happy, healthy, playful, curious and smart - so much like a little person - without the moodiness!  She's laid back, and great with the girls (so patient); it's like she's always been a part of our family.  The funniest thing is how she gets so excited when we get home, even if we've only been gone for 20 minutes.  You'd think we'd been gone for years!  She jumps, snorts, wags her tails and gives kisses (and of course, has a little accident!)  We've learned to open the door to the crate and then quickly run outside for our greeting!!!
     Thanks for a wonderful puppy!  Tess is 9 and 1/2 months old, and she must be close to 20 pounds.  We found a great groomer who keeps her hair at a manageable length.  Her coat is sooooo soft!  We just hug her and hug her.
     I will learn to hook my digital camera up to the computer and send you some pictures - by Christmas, I promise.
In the mean time, have a great Thanksgiving with your family!
Your friend,
Heidi 

Hi Windie

As I write this email it is snowing and we are getting ready for a New Year’s celebration. 

Speaking of snow…..Lucie loves the snow!!! She is almost 6 months old
and has become a major part of our family.  Our life practically revolves around her.
As a matter of fact, we just returned from a long weekend in DC to visit family.
We drove with her from New York and stayed in a pet friendly hotel. She did great!

Lucie is a VERY friendly puppy. She loves all people and other dogs…even the golden retrievers in the neighborhood. She graduated from puppy kindergarten and my younger daughter has taught her to sit, give paw, fetch and roll over.
Lucie will be spayed in 2 weeks and then we will have her “officially” groomed. 
However, no short, butchered haircuts for Lucie.
I have attached a recent photo.  Please feel free to share on your website (which is great, by the way).

Happy New Year!
Best,
Felicia

Hi Windie,
We are all doing well, I've been very busy with the gift shop and with my new baby, Gracie!
She is just precious, doing pretty well with potty training, is eating well, had her 1st vet checkup last week and passed with flying colors!  She is also doing well with adjusting to our other dogs.  She has bonded so well with our 60+ lb springer spaniel.  Her name is Abbie and she lets Gracie pull on her hair, her ears, and they play chase and she even lets Gracie walk over her back and lays next to her a lot.  Gracie is pretty independent and a little hard headed at times but I think she gets that from me.  I'll send pics later, right now I have a cold and feel blahhhh.

Hope all is well with youl
Thanks for everything she is a dream come true.
Thanks, Robin

Hi Windie-

I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos!  I hope that you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving!  

Winston and I traveled to Colorado for the holidays!  He is doing wonderful...my parents have fallen in love, and I gave your name to 4 people on the plane!  I actually got bumped up to first class because of Winston, they thought he was so cute that they put me in first class, isn't that hilarious! 
So, I got the open crate as the trainer I am using suggested it.  Winston seems to love it, he is doing wonderful in the crate.  I don't cover it at night and he has a white towel in there and has not made any mistakes.  He is really almost potty trained, i am SO impressed!  We don't use piddle pads, as i told you, they just aren't my thing, and I'm with him enough to take him out constantly.  We even got him a sweater so that he wouln't shake every time we went out...haha..too much fun!  
My parents do have the kennel cab that you suggested, as do I,  and he does well in there too.  We still have the blanket you gave to us, and it travels with him.  He is really so sweet.  He's loves to cuddle and really loves walking on the leash!  He is SO YUMMY, and has made me and so many of us so happy!  He is very social and has many doggie friends.  He spent Thanksgiving with 6 other dogs, and he played mostly with a black lab puppy...Winston thought he was just as big, it was so cute!  I was a protective Mommie, but I tried to hold back and let him have fun!

best,
Lauren

 Dear Windie,

I know that it has been a long time since we were in contact but we just wanted you to know how great Farnsworth is and how much he has added to our life. He is an absolute joy. He is so beautiful, not a day goes by that people everywhere fall in love with him. His markings, his joyous personality, his sweet and loving disposition, they way he loves other dogs and people are the comments we get all the time He is the star wherever we go. He goes everywhere with us. We recently moved to Rancho Mirage and all of the restaurants allow dogs , we are known as the Farnsworth party. He is so well behaved and smart and was easy to train. He is also a very big boy he has leveled off at 30 lbs. and seem to have finally stopped growing. Luckily he still thinks he is a lap dog, and sits at our feet or follows us around. He is so affectionate and loving, we don't know what we would do without him. We love him so much and he has completed our family. I know I am rambling but we just wanted to update you on what a special dog he is. It is so obvious you all gave him so much love and attention and it set him on this path. We have recommended you to dozens of people that have fallen in love with him. It is hard to believe that he is about to have his second birthday. I guess I'll stop gushing and say good buy. Thank you so very much for bringing Farnsworth into our life. All the best to you family and keep up the great work.
Best Regards,
John, Phillip and Farnsworth 

 Hi Windie

 So sorry we haven't emailed you sooner.  Couscous is doing great! 
We are so in love with her.  We seriously believe that she is the cutest puppy in all of DC - everyone stops on their tracks to play with her. Her behavior has been getting better and better every day.  We couldn't ask for more.  When we first got her, she was just under 6 lbs, and now, she is 10 lbs!  Such a big puppy!  We absolutely love her!
We're attaching some pictures so you can have them. 
We'll email you soon with more updates, but thanks so much for giving us our dream puppy.
All the best,
Shannon and Scott 

Just to let you know Remi is just such a delightful little puppy and we just love her to bits! She's a clever little girl, very vocal and seems to voice her opinions about all sorts of things! She loves the outdoors and I know as she gets older her favorite spot will be sat on the deck, contentedly keeping check of the back yard. I feel she has more dominant poodle traits, I could be wrong but her agility and her expressions make me feel that way (my Nana always had poodles and I remember what they were like).

Anyway I just wanted you to know how well she's doing and how happy we are that she's part of our lives.

I hope everything is going well for all of you, I've been thinking of you and your trip to Haiti. After meeting you and knowing what a truly wonderful start in life you give these puppies I couldn't help but think of what you have done for these two wonderful children. What a wonderful family you are.

With very best wishes
Lisa

 Windie,

I am so sorry I forgot to include JJ's 1st birthday party picture for you to share with some of your prospective parents to be.  I want them to know how wonderful our baby is and how special we think your particular brand of breeding & service is.

Again, we are sooo happy to have him and he is such a special part of our lives.  We argue over who gets to cuddle with him next and since there just isn't enough JJ Puffin to go around, we simply have to have another cavapoo..  Everyone is fascinated by and in love with him... He is one that is difficult to detect the poodle.  He loves the lake and riding in the boat.  A true member of the family, he is very rarely excluded from anything we do.  And, when one of is sick, he is reluctant to leave that person's  side. Not only that but he seems to have a genuine concern for their welfare.

He is so happy and loving and just looking at him seems to make people smile or just laugh with him.  He is truly special and the best dog I have ever had.  We love him so very much and are excited at the thought of having a little blondie just like him!  He is 18 lbs. right now which is bigger than we expected but, what can we say... he is perfect (even if he does sill get into a little mischief).  His phantom coat is as unique and gorgeous as he is!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He is wearing his "I love my daddy" t-shirt so you can't see all of his coat but you can get the idea by looking at his legs.  His coat is so soft. too!

Like I said, we will be sure to bring him with us when we come to pick our next puppy!

Thank you for making these puppies HAPPEN!  Your meticulous attention to detail and love for what you do shows in every aspect of the process of bringing these little charming gems into the world and getting them to their "forever homes".

Love,
Alexis, Larry, Avery & Logan 

 Hi Windie,
I hope you and your family are doing well. Andy is doing fabulously and we adore him. A question for you -- when do these little guys reach their full height and weight. A couple different people (a vet and a groomer) think Andy could get up to 20 lbs! Do you think that's possible? He's about 12 1/2 right now and the vet says he is a perfect weight, not to fat not to trim. Just curious. He is a sweetheart and Molly and I start obedience class in two weeks with him.
PS This pic is a couple of weeks old already, but thought you'd like to see him. 
Thanks !
Heidi
