 (9/6/11) Hello Judy and Becky,
Your Gleneden doodles are famous. We adopted a golden doodle (Scout) from Becky
back in Feb 2008 and then a chocolate Labradoodle (Cricket) from Judy in July of 2010. See if you can recognize your famous
doodles in this online news clip; http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7377461n
My daughters roommate was an intern
in NYC last summer for CBS and the roommate produced the story. The pups are really good buddies and provide lots of joy and
entertainment here at the Price household. Thanks again for such a lovely pair of pups.

(6/10/11) Hi, Judy! Scout turned 6 on Monday and we could not possibly
be happier that we came to Gleneden to find him!
He has been 100% healthy and still has the fun personality of a puppy!
He is protective but gentle, loyal, incredibly intelligent, and extremely obedient.
We would take another doodle from
Gleneden in a heartbeat!!
Thanks!

Mechanicsburg, PA (11/27/11)  Hi Judy!
I have not contacted you with an update for quite a while. Smokey
just had her sixth birthday in October. While I've always known she is the best dog I've ever had, she is also
the most remarkable.
In May of 2010, we were up north visiting my sister who had recently undergone surgery on
her brain. My sister has 2 Boston Bull Terriers. The female has to be kept on a leash whenever she is outdoors.
My daughter was walking her through the woods when the dog pulled out of the leash and ran off through the woods. We
stood there speechless and I began calling to the dog to come but she was too far gone. She was nearly out of our sight.
Smokey, who was sitting at my side took off through the woods and cut Zoe off and herded her back to us. She kept her
very close and delivered her to my feet and sat down. Smoke looked at me wagging her tail and we all just looked at
each other. It was amazing!...She has always been the best dog and she is truly remarkable as well. When we went
camping this past summer, a family came over when we were packing up the site to go home and commented that they had been
watching our dog for the past several days and thought she was a very good looking dog. For six years old she is graying
but so fit and beautiful. She still acts like a pup and lives to play and be petted. If she sees an idle hand she will
place her head strategically under it. We walk or ride bikes daily and she loves to run.
She is extraordinary
in every way and there is not one person in our family who does not love her. THANKS for the very best!

Good morning Judy,
Bella is doing just great. She has been at her new home for a month now. She has fit into
our lifestyle beautifully. Needless to say she goes everywhere with us. She loves riding in the "big truck" and
looking out the window. Training is sooo easy with her because she is sooo smart. She has lots of fans around the neighborhood.
The vet said she is doing beautifully.
Best,
Phyllis &, AJ Locklar Ashburn, VA (6/19/11) 
Hi Judy, This is Mike, Christine, and Danny Friedman from Stuart, FL who got a yellow female Labradoodle from you!
She is now 7 years old and we love her. Very playful and comes with us everywhere we go including her favorite place,
the sandbar by boat! Just wanted to check in and see how everything was going! Thanks, Mike, Chris and Danny

Good Afternoon Judy,
We, my husband Joel & I, picked up Mimi, the puppy, on May 25th and it has been
nothing but a pleasure since that day we picked her up.
She is an amazing puppy, she is an 11 on a 10 scale.
She is very personable, trainable and loveable.
Whatever you did with her the days before we got her was great
because she just a great puppy.
Just to give you an idea of how smart she is, at our house, work and my parents’
house we have hung a bell beside the door and now every time she wants to go out she rings it, it is awesome.
The
timing of her joining our family has been perfect because on June 6th we had to put my family’s dog down, Maverick,
who has touched so many people’s lives. Mimi has served as a great therapy dog in that respect and makes people
laugh.
We bring Mimi everywhere and we joke we need to add 15 minutes to our trip because everyone always asked about
Mimi & wants to say hi.
Please thank your daughter for us for raising such a great puppy.
Have a great day!
Erin, Joel & Mimi Dull York, PA

Hello, Judy! I hope you had a great
holiday and a happy New Year! I just wanted to send you some updates and photos of the new love of our life! Ruby
is absolutely amazing and we are so happy to have her as a member of our family. The first week, admittedly, was difficult
(I didn't realize I dog could bark for so many hours...), but we settled in together, got her some puppy training classes,
and within two weeks, she became a very calm, loveable, and extremely smart puppy! She graduated from puppy training
on Monday and was a star performer! I'll send you a picture with her graduation cap on. She adores being around
people and dogs, and has created her own racetrack in our backyard. She has put on about 10 pounds since we got her,
and it's become a running joke how many people comment on her "huge paws!" when we are walking her. She may
end up bigger than we'd hoped, but we wouldn't trade her for anything. She also doesn't seem to shed at all, nor does
she chew or bark - she's perfect! She's happy, we're happy, and we couldn't thank you enough! More updates soon! Lindsay Mareau, Kevin Cuff and Ruby Ambler, PA (1/7/12) Dear
Judy,
I failed to tell you, when Linus gathered with his Berryville cousins (now all living in Washington and Bethesda)
that your ears were surely burning. We all said what a lovely farm you had and how terrific you have been as breeder of adorable
dogs, to our puppies, and to us personally. Of course, secretly, Bob and I feel that you loved Linus more than anyone else
but we would never be so mean as to utter the thought aloud.
Linus has now had a bath and is as fluffy as Josie Sams.
He continues to be gentle and sweet, although is so fascinated by the traffic passing along Connecticut ave, and is so interested
in every smell at every corner, that it is still hard to entice him into a brisk walk. But that will come. And a puppy's sense
of wonder is a fine thing not to be ignored lest he not develop imagination enough to go to Harvard…..
Be well,
keep those dear puppies coming, and know we three Geniesses send our warmest thoughts
Affectionately,
Jane Geniesse

Dear Judy,
Over the past fourteen years, we have had the good fortune to share an amazing companion along
the walk of life. Today Virginia is 14 years old (72 in "dog years"!) She has been with us through so
much and has made our lives richer for having known her. She is smart, playful, and sweet and we are happy to say she
is in very good health for her age. She doesn't run like she used to but she still loves to play. We take her
to a beautiful park where she and Harry have fun barking at the cows across the river...We cannot thank you enough for this
wonderful presence in our lives. She and Harry are our children in our "empty nest", and they are both wonderful
dogs. We can't imagine life without them. We put up a public album for Virginia on Facebook.Hope you and Bill are doing
fine. We are making the most of our "semi-retirement" up here in the Smoky Mountains. I see on your
site that you will be traveling this Autumn so there will not be a romp. Hopefully we can all make it next year. Again, Thank
you for these wonderful dogs!

here once and said lucy and i have bonded better then anyone he has ever seen. i said i bet you say that to everyone and he

(9/23/11) I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Kody (goldendoodle) whom we got from you 5 yrs
ago. It is hard to believe he is 5 yrs old. We absolutely love him to death. He has more personality then he knows what to
do with. The first picture of him jumping off the dock (see the Scrapbook section of this web site) was in our local
newspaper ( The Pilot) in Southern Pines, NC. I hope all is well with you guys.

(6/16/11) Hi Judy,
Our Bentley is almost 8 months old now.
We got him in December and he's from a Mari/Simba litter. He's just the best little guy ever. Has so much personality and
love. We can't imagine our life without him. We had him groomed for the second time today and I wanted to send you a couple
of pictures. Thank you so much for such a wonderful puppy.

Judy, a picture of Bebe from the Friday…she
loves the lion she came with…and is growing…she fine in her crate at night and sleeps 7.5 hrs., which is terrific.
We are working on the potty training and nipping… very social, very cute and everybody loves her!
Thank you, Sally Nolan Bloomfield, Connecticut

Dear Judy -
I wanted to send
you a picture of Lucky. Lucky was part of the litter born May 28th this year and is now almost 8 months. It looks
like he will be spot on your guesstimate of 35 pounds - now being 29.
He has turned out to be a wonderful dog - and a true family member:) Thanks! Regan Skjævestad Great Falls, VA
(12/12/11) Hi Judy, This is our Christmas photo 2011 with Lilly,
our 1 year old cavachon, and Lucy, our 6 year old labradoodle. They are such great friends. They have brought
our family much happiness. Lilly is currently enrolled with the Good Dog Foundation, training to become a therapy
dog at our local hospital and elementary schools for their "Read to Dogs Program". She'll be graduating
in a few weeks. I'll be sure to send you a picture from the graduation ceremony wearing her "helping humans heal"
bandana. Thanks again for breeding such special dogs! Sincerely, Sue Reed Norwalk, CT (6/7/11) Hi, I just wanted to give
you a update.
Tito's doing fantastic, a real joy to have and on top of that he is very smart!
We have been going
to puppy classes and he is the star, Bob feels slighted because the instructor doesn't spend that much time with us!!
He
travels extremely well, we have taken him to Deep Creek Lake and went out on the boat with him. Thanks again,
Phyllis

(1/17/12) Hi Judy, Wanted to get out our annual photo of Sydney. Can't believe she turned 8 in December!
She is still an absolute puppy and will probably never grow up (maybe we should have named her Peter Pan!) She loves
everyone especially the kitten (who kicks her butt by the way). Poor Sydney, her whole body is a giant cat toy.
Hope you have a wonderful New Year. Sincerely, Diane and Chuck Henderson, Henrietta, NY (6/22/11) Hello Judy and Anya - Here's our beautiful boy, Murphy. We couldn't be happier.
He will start dog school later this week - and he'll be easy to train because he is sweet and smart! All the best, Angela, Brian and Michael Giancarlo
Alexandria, Virginia (7/17/11) YoYo at home enjoying running all around our yard.
She is a wonderful puppy and we adore her! Shari Danch Washington, DC

Dear Judy, I thought that you might enjoy seeing this
poster of Chester who turns 4 next month. He is the most amazing dog and really stands out with his therapy work at
hospitals, nursing homes, libraries and schools. He is the featured dog for the winter season of Tales to Tails at the
Norfolk Public Library and last week, he visited 4 year-old pre-schoolers at a "Meet an Nice Dog" program at a local
public school. Chester has been a delight since we picked him up from Gleneden in April, 2008. He is smart, loving
and a great companion. Thanks! Mary Lou Nexsen Norfolk, Virginia
