Meet Cargo. He is owned by the Water's family. He lives in Alberta and his parents are Ginger and Dawson! He is turning into quite the little fellow! What a cutie!

Wendy says " I thought I'd give you an update on our precious Cargo. He's learned to go to his bed and lye down (with a little bribery) and he sits everytime he is asked. He's also learned to ring the bell on the door to let us know when he needs to do his business. He even rings it when he is alone and wants some company. When the bell rings we come...... huh? I wonder who is training who? Whenever we are out he greets everyone he see's, he just loves the attention and soaks it up for as long as they let him. We get so many people asking "What is he?" followed by compliments on how cute he is. Cargo has become such a joy in our lives. There isn't a day that's gone by were he hasn't made us laugh or brought a smile to our faces. When I'm soaking in the bath he has to be there playing in the bubbles, it's hilarious! He try's to eat the bubbles and nearly climbs right in with me. Things get alittle wet but it's a blast! I must thank you again for giving us the opportunity to have Cargo become a part of our hearts. We love him dearly!

Meet Luna and Maggie. They are owned by the McConney family in California. This is what Beverly says about Luna " Where to start.............She is amazing!!!!!!! I have her sweet face kissed off! I have always had dogs and loved each of them but have never loved a dog the way I love Luna. The nice part is she loves me back. LOL, she is so much fun and really makes me laugh hard. She loves playing ball with me and chasing me around the yard. We go for two 20 minuet walks each day rain or shine. She has just completed her first week of training and has one more week to go. I honestly cannot believe how smart she is. Jocelyn (the trainer) has been training puppies for the last 22 years and told me she has ever only trained 2 other dogs that have been as smart as Luna. She was explaining to me that most dogs can't "generalize" for a long period of time and Luna "got it" the second day. She seemed very shocked and surprised at how quickly Luna learns. She asked me all about you and your kennel after she ask me where in the world I found a puppy like this. Luna now knows "want to go for a ride", "sit", "down" and "stay" with nothing more then a hand signal! She also knows "in" to go in her kennel "bed" to play in her bed in the kitchen while we eat our meal. I can drop food on the floor right beside her and she will not touch it once I have commanded her to stay. She will not come out of her bed with her toys until I release her with the word "Okay"

Beverley has many more stories about Luna and how great she is! This is only the start of it, lol! Beverly was so happy with Luna that she also purchased Maggie from me. This is what she has to say about Maggie " Miss Maggie Muggins!!! She is such a cuddly and loving dog and so very smart. When I signed her up for training classes the instructor decided to move her to level two as she already knew all the commands from level one. She is learning to play soccer right now….. Luna is her teacher!!! She plays hard with Luna and then flops down and falls asleep. She recently discovered how much fun the water can be and is splashing around in the lake like a pony but not quite brave enough yet to swim. I expect that will happen within a week as she is watching Luna and I can see she wants to go in. She is 45 pounds right now at five months and, based on the size of her paws, I expect will be a big girl. She is losing her puppy coat and starting to wave up really nicely and David and I expect she will look very much like Luna. She is a really social dog (show me a doodle that isn’t) and people want to cuddle her and play with her whenever they see her. A little girl and boy in our neighbourhood come to the door every few days to ask if they can play in the back yard with Maggie and Luna. Once again Sherry you have matched us with the perfect puppy. I’m so glad I found you because there are too many unethical breeders out there. Keep producing the best dogs in the world!!!"

This is Lola. She is owned by Amanda. Amanda says "We live in the community of Kitsilano in Vancouver, BC. In Kits it seems every other person has a dog to walk along the beach. When we got our doodle we could not walk for more then half a block without someone stopping to ask what kind of dog she is. People would even jump out of their cars or yell out of their open windows to inquire about our little fuzzy doodle. They would creat names for her ranging from Chewy, to one of the characters on the Muppets, to big fluffy teddy bear. We felt "Lola" suited her perfectly. The greatest thing about our doodle - and there are so many great things- is that we can walk down the street with her and she will literally grin widely at every passerby hoping to get a grin in return. She makes everyone smile. She is the most easy going, laid back, kind, sweet, goofy dog. She gives hugs by squishing between people's legs and will hold still for a thousand kisses on her nose. Our girl brings sunshine into our lives every single day. I would highly recommend a doodle like our Lola!"

If you have any questions about Lola please email Amanda at movingintostillness@gmail.com

This is Uli at 11 weeks old. She is from the Ginger and Rex's litter of December '06. She is a standard goldendoodle owned by Carrie Williams. Carrie says "Uli is everything we were hoping for. We were initially nervous about the placement process, but after educating ourselves with a few books understood that it is truly the most responsible way to handle the process- both on behalf of the pup and the owners! Sherry was able to place us with the exact puppy we were looking for!

Uli is neither shy nor aggressive, but very fearless! LOL It's true that they do learn very quickly, and also grow extremely fast. Everyone that meets her is surprised that she doesn't shed when pet. Also, I am not allergic to her at all.

She's been extremely friendly and confident when meeting everyone including people, dogs and cats and doesn't seem to be phased by anything. We sincerely couldn't be happier!

Carrie & Dave, Hamtramck, MI "

Meet Knuckles. He is a pup from Ginger and Rex and is owned by the Regan!!!! He is so unique as he has a chocolate nose and green eyes!!!! Wow, have you ever seen a goldendoodle like this before. He is so handsome!!! Laurie says " I know this probably sounds like a broken record, but our Knuckles is truly amazing. Everyone loves him including people who have not owned or ever wanted a dog before. He had his first grooming on Easter Monday and the groomer asked me if he had ever been groomed before because he was Spectacular, he could not believe he was only 4 and half months old. He is now 47 lbs. and is so handsome and he knows it. He has become my daughter’s best friend, they are amazing together. My son could not be happier with Knuckles and we all love him dearly. Knuckles is so lucky he gets to see his sister (Lennox) all the time; she is amazing too they could not be happier. Our families our know and forever related. Please let me know how to send a reference because we are so proud."

This is Stuart. He is owned by the Dubchak. Shannan says "Congratulations on being named on the Premium Breeders List! That is exactly where you should be given the amazing animals that you breed. Thank you for your care and dedication in producing what I consider the perfect pet.

Stuart has been the best thing to happen in our family. He has given us so much joy and love. Stuart is everything you said he would be, he is smart and funny and he loves everyone in our family with the same intensity. He is so happy to see each of us every morning. Sometimes when he is sitting there looking at you, you almost expect him to start talking. I simple cannot say enough to describe how wonderful he is!

I don't think that I have ever had him out for a walk (these walks are Stu's favorite time of the day) that someone hasn't stopped me to admire him and ask questions about the breed. It is impossible not to smile when you look at Stuart!

Stuart is now 8 1/2 months old and weighs 77 pounds. He has been through obedience class, which he truly enjoyed. Stuart was neutered this week and very quickly was back to his vivacious self. He is one very healthy and happy Doodle.

Thank you so much Sherry for choosing this pup for us. We love him like crazy.

Sherry, our family can't thank you enough for bringing our wonderful dog Oscar into our lives. From the start, your help and advice has been invaluable in terms of selecting the right puppy for us, teaching us about puppy care and training, and providing telephone and email support, especially in the first days and weeks when we were adjusting to life with our new dog. I would highly recommend you as a breeder and your Goldendoodle pups.

Oscar is a walking advertisement for how great Goldendoodles are as family pets. He is a beautiful dog with striking colouring and an expressive face. He has a sweet, goofy, loving, intelligent temperament and has been able to charm absolutely everyone that he has come in contact with. He loves people as well as other dogs. We cannot go anywhere without being stopped continually by people who want to know more about him or even to take his picture! Cars have stopped on the street when we have been outside our home or on a walk to ask us about him! As you know, friends of ours were so taken by Oscar that they now own one of your puppies too!!!

Our precious Oscar has enriched our family's life in more ways than we could have ever guessed. He does something to make us laugh everyday. It has been wonderful to watch our children see their lifelong dream of having a dog come true, and to see them enjoy Oscar so much, especially when he greets them in the morning, accompanies them on walks, plays fetch (Oscar's favourite activity) or cuddles by their feet while they are doing homework, reading a book or watching t.v. Our weekends often include hikes in our local ravines or in the countryside, and Oscar is always an enthusiastic participant during our adventures! He can hardly wait to jump into the back of our SUV when we take him for a drive! We like to visit an "off leash" park near our home, and Oscar adores the chance to run (and dig!) but is always quick to come to us when we call him.

Oscar, at almost 9 months, is 82 lbs.!! He's really maturing into a great dog! He has captured all of our hearts and we absolutely adore him.

It is my pleasure to provide a reference for both you Sherry, and your wonderful breeding programme at Swissridge Kennels.

We just wanted to update you on how incredibly fantastic Mischa is! She is now 62 lbs and is turning 1 next Wednesday, on the 29th and we all are excited to celebrate with her. She has brought so much joy into each of our lives, and is able to bring a smile out in everyone we come across. We get stopped constantly when walking Mischa. People are amazed at how beautiful she is and always comment on her calm and gentle disposition. Mischa loves being around people and meeting new friends (both human and dog friends) but

most of all, she LOVES children! Mischa is now the same height as most of the children in the neighborhood and while most of them were afraid of her in the beginning, they now run over to say hello. As they approach, Mischa immediately lies down and will often roll onto her back, begging for a belly-rub. We take her to the dog run (park) almost every day, and while she loves to wrestle and run around with her friends, she is just as happy to

curl up beside someone on the park bench, resting her head in their lap. Mischa is the sweetest, most gentle dog we have ever met and we could not imagine a day without her. Our lives have definitely changed since we got

her and we all agree that she was one of the best decisions we ever made. Thank you once again Sherry, for matching us up with such an incredible little girl!

We would love for her picture to be up on your website, and for everyone to see just how beautiful and wonderful she is, as are all of the doodles you breed! Please feel free to post my e-mail address, for anyone who would love

to hear more about our baby.

Best regards,

Melanie

One great dog in sun…rain…or snow

Meet Ringo. He lives in Thornhill, Ontario with Shoshana and Martin. He is named after Ringo Starr, the Beatle, and like his famous namesake, our Ringo is always cool without having to try.

Wherever we go, people want to know more about him. Its those moments that make us so proud & happy to have him in our lives. Ringo has exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We are so impressed by his personality that he truly has become a part of our family. He’s a terrific companion -- friendly, clever, loving, easy to train and very sociable.

Ringo enjoys swimming at the cottage in summer, playing street hockey with the children and going on shopping trips to the Beaches or Yorkville where singer/designer Gwen Stephanie saw him from her limousine and complimented him.

Ringo enjoys simple pleasures like a blanket at bedtime, a peanut butter-filled chew toy, and music. I played the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” one day and he cocked his head, laid down beside the speaker and listened to the music. Shoshana commented, “He’s turning out to be a man of culture.”

We can’t thank Sherry enough. If you’re thinking about getting a Goldendoodle from

her all, we can say is that you’re in for a treat.

Peace , Love & Sherry’s Goldendoodles Rule. If you would like more information we can be reached at martin.greenbaum@gmail.com

Meet Morgan, he is owned by Lianne and Roger. Morgan is a standard goldendoodle. Lianne says”He’s so cute, he looks like a kid in a dog costume”, my sister-in-law blurted out as we walked through the door of her home. Truer words were never spoken about Morgan, our wonderful Goldendoodle. My husband and I felt it was the best description of Morgan, and in a lot of ways it spoke volumes. He is such an awesome creature that it’s easy to think of him as a 60 lb kid with a great sense of fun and humour. Not a day goes by that he doesn’t bring a big smile to our faces!

From the moment we picked him up at Sherry’s kennel we realized what a bright and personable dog she had chosen for us. It was our first experience with a professional breeder and she was amazing!

My veterinarian was super impressed with Morgan’s quality conformation and the worming program that Sherry administered. More praise came from the instructor of our obedience training classes. She is a breeder of Golden Retrievers and also runs a very successful boarding kennel. She has seen many goldendoodles, but told us that she knew immediately that Morgan came from a good breeding establishment, unlike so many doodles that she had worked with. She says he is a welcome addition to their ‘dog camp’ kennel and is so good-natured that she knows he can be trusted to romp and play with any dog in their care.

We receive so many compliments for Morgan and his excellent looks and behaviour, that they are too numerous to mention. Sherry is #1 in our books for breeding great dogs. Her high standards are a guarantee that any pup you purchase from her will be worth every penny!

Feel free to contact us (Lianne & Roger) for more information at lgsands@cogeco.ca

Meet Reuben, he is owned by the Stevenson family! Sandra says" Just wanted to give you an update on our boy, Reuben, who is now 14 months old (Sugar and Simon's litter). He has developed into a very handsome goldendoodle with a decidedly quirky but endearing personality. He has inherited the energy and independent spirit of his mother as well as the intelligence to know what he wants and how to get it from his father. Reuben loves his daily walks and excursions to the park. He has a "play group" of dogs that he loves to socialize with at the park. He has a great ability to adapt to the level of play with each of the dogs and has never shown any aggressiveness with any dog that he meets. The other dog owners often comment on his good looks and friendly personality.

Reuben is great in the house, too. He "woofs" once when someone comes to the door but takes our lead when visitors arrive and greets them calmly without intruding into their space. This is especially appreciated with a dog of his size!! When our 1 year old grandson was visiting at Christmas, Reuben was gentle and patient with him,too. His groomer says that he has the best looks (great coat) and nicest temperment of any goldendoodle on which she has worked. He has also been praised for easy handling ability by the "groomers in training" in the local community college program.

We are really enjoying sharing our life with our goldendoodle and are grateful to have serendipitously found your kennel. We have directed several folks to your website that have expressed an interest in Reuben and the breed in general. We both appreciate the dedication that you have to breeding sound and healthy pups."

If you would like to email Sandra to find out more about Reuben her email address is sandra-alan@cogeco.ca

Meet Murphy he is owned by the Harold family and his parents are Hewy and Bubbles! Christine says "I know my mother probably e-mailed you recently. She had her leg broken in a freak accident at the dog park and she is now healing quickly and doing fantastic! Murphy has been a gentle, sweet, adaptable boy throughout this ordeal, and last night when he saw his mommy standing, he was elated! Recently we have had to use dog walkers, volounteers from the local dog park, and mostly myself, Murphy's "sister" as my mom would say. I cannot express to you enough how intelligent and adaptable he is. He even licked her wounds, literally, last night after she had her cast removed. It almost brings me to tears how bright and loyal he is. As well as playful and mischievous.. He has eaten socks, and he is obsessed with fetching his ball. " If you would like to email Christine to find out more about Murphy her email address is haroldchristine@hotmail.com

Meet Howard he is owned by the Gawreletz family. Angie says "I wanted to send you an update on our beautiful boy, Howard. He really is the most wonderful dog we could ever imagine. He has the sweetest temperament and loves everything and everybody. He is now 3 years old (from Rex and Cheyanne, June 05) and weighs in at 85lbs (he's known as Howard Huge) - bigger than we expected but we wouldn't give up an ounce of him! He has been a dream to train and everyone remarks how good he is. He has brought so much joy to us all that we continually want to thank you for doing such a great job as a breeder. We have met several other goldendoodles here in Atlanta GA and many of their owners comment that they are 'highly strung' or 'skittish' - not a bit like Howard, so it's clear that the breed and the breeder have equal input! We love our boy!" If you would like to email Angie or Steven to find out more about Howard there email address is gawreletz@comcast.net

Meet Harley, she owns the Kennedy family! Jana says " We got Harley last April......she was out of Clea's litter born Feb 15th 2005. We celebrated her first B-day. I wanted to email you and tell you how wonderful Harley is. As you can see we have 2 small children and I am amazed at Harley's personality around the children. She is so awesome!!! Thank you! You did a wonderful job in choosing the right dog for our family. Everytime I'm out walking Harley I get stopped and people just love the way she looks. Harley is a very funny dog she thinks she is a lap dog and she has no problem just coming up on your lap and having a rest. She also sleeps on her back at night and I've never seen such a thing before. She also loves the snow and often when I call her in she would rather stay outside and play. We love her so much and want to thank you for choosing such a wonderful dog that loves children so much."

Mindy's updated email on how Moses is doing" I purchased a Goldendoodle from you almost six years ago. Moses is also on your reference page as a pup and 1 year old. I just want you to know that he is a HUGE baby boy. We just love him so much. He is over 110 pounds and one of the biggest ever seen by my groomer and vet. He has been 100% healthy with absolutely no healthy problems.

His parents were Dawson and Mavis.

We get stopped by people where ever we go just wanting to look at him because he is so big and beautiful.

Just thought you might want to add his pic or just look at him now.

Thanks again.

Mindy Winters

Meet Braidie. Braidie is a tiny goldendoodle out of Charlie and Rocky #2.

She is owned by Mari Ann Spoelstra in Wyckoff, NJ.

Mari Ann say's "Braidie has been such a wonderful addition to our family.

She arrived at LaGuardia Airport 4 days after the devastating Hurricane Sandy hit the New Jersey coast in full force. Her first meal was by candlelight as we were without electricity

for 9 days. As you can see by her pictures, she has very beautiful markings. She was actually my 3rd choice. I had never had a puppy that was chosen for me by the breeder and never heard of

temperament testing before. When Sherry notified me that I was getting a little girl, I was a little disappointed since I had

requested a boy. Of course after 2 minutes, I knew Sherry had picked the perfect puppy for me. She is so sweet and loving and has been very easy to train. The best attribute she has is that she loves everyone, human and canine, and she can be crazy dog, but then docile dog.

We live on a quiet street with lots of bicycles, joggers, and other people walking their dogs. We have a Canine Fence and she runs up and down the property greeting everyone who

goes by. I often invite my neighbors with their dogs into our yard so they can play and this has helped her to be very well socialized.

I could not be happier with a puppy than I am with Braidie.

The picture above is on our 303 Pearson sailboat which she went on this past weekend.

As you can see, Braidie adapted to sailing very easily.

My email is mgspoels@verizon.net "

Braidie is such a smart girl for her age. Watch a youtube video of her doing some great tricks here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUkAaNOl7Uc

Meet Rugby. He is owned by the Byington family. Jessica says "He is a English standard goldendoodle out of Hendrix and Carrie’s litter. Rugby is an absolute delight! Fun-loving and great with kids, Rugby was easy to train and will do anything for a little snack. He loves to play with the kids in our family and is remarkably patient and kind. There isn't a mean bone in his big, goofy body - he loves our cat, Lulu and any other pets he gets the chance to meet! Some of his favorite activities are swimming, boating, taking car rides with his head out the window, playing fetch, chewing on his toys, and romping around in the snow.

One of the things we love most about Rugby is his genuine desire to be around us, he especially loves to cuddle up or lay his head on our lap while on the couch. He is liked by everyone who he comes in contact with, especially children. The kids near our home adore him and are always overjoyed to see their buddy Rugby. They run to meet him, hugging and petting him - he eats it up and absolutely loves the attention! His other best friends are the horses and our old donkey, Jake - we find them, nose-to-nose through the fence, saying hi every afternoon! Thank you so much Sherry for matching us with the most wonderful dog we have ever known, we are truly blessed doodle-parents!" If you would like to email Jessica for more info her email address is byingtjp@miamioh.edu

Our pup Miss Fifi Mylo (Carrie & Sting, 22/Mar/14, Mini English Goldendoodle) has been such an amazing addition to our family. Neither my husband nor I ever had pets growing up, so we were hoping for an easy pup - we got her! It was love at first sight. None of us will forget the day we picked her up from the airport, she was very affectionate, and CUTE! She is now 23lbs at 8 months old.She is gentle, hilarious and very friendly. We never went through the nippy phase with her, and crate and potty training went extremely well. She will do anything for freeze-dried chicken!

She is on her third puppy training class, and is smart as a whip! And every where we go people what to know her breed and where she came from! She loves tug-a-war, and running around in the snow. Miss Fifi loves to play with other dogs and is never shy about mixing it up with big dogs. She is full of personality and rarely ever barks.

Not so long ago my 7 year old, Charlotte, used to scream at the sight of a dog, now she will sit with Miss Fifi on her lap and cuddle her, and hand feed her. Choosing SwissRidge Kennels and getting Miss Fifi was a life changer for us all. Now our girls do not go to sleep at night with out a kiss from their puppy, she was worth every minute of the wait! We all absolutely love her to bits, we can not thank you enough! Anyone with questions for us, feel free to email me, swawrow@gmail.com.
