It seems to take forever for a litter to arrive and then the short 9 weeks we have them seem to fly by although I know for all the families waiting for their new labradoodle puppy it seems to take FOREVER!

At Van Isle Doodles we carefully screen and select our families and spend time and care to make the perfect match between family and labradoodle puppy. We thought it would be fun to share stories and family photos from the first day or two after going to their forever homes.

[td1] Aqua Collar Boy  [/td1] [td2]

Adorable Aqua collar boy is now “Casey” and living in Lantzville. This is the first time we have had sisters each take home a Van Isle Doodle. Sister Jan with Mom Edith took black collar girl from the Mixed Nuts litter home and called her Jacq and sister Liz took Casey home to her house. Here is what Liz has reported about Casey’s progress:

“Doing very well after a good check up with the vet. Happy in his new home and getting very settled. Slept all through the night the last two nights and goes into his crate with absolutely no problem, no whining etc.”

[td1] Green Collar Girl  [/td1] [td2]

Beautiful, bold, green collar girl is now “Charliz”, known more frequently as “Charli”. Charli lives with her new Mom and Dad in the Fairfield area. Charli has always had a strong personality so it wasn’t a big surprise to hear she wasn’t an easy push over on the first night but she showed her true colours and typical labradoodle intelligence by the second night. Here is what Charli’s parents had to report:

“The first night was tough, Charli hardly slept at all. Second night she was much more comfortable and slept right through the night. She is adjusting well and is just so adorable. “

[td1] Black Collar Girl [/td1] [td2]

Black collar girl is now “Maggie” and living in Delta with her new parents. Maggie has always been a very sweet and loving puppy with a very strong desire to please. Maggie has an elderly feline to share her home with named Oscar so we needed to make sure this puppy would respect the sacred domain of Oscar. Here is what Maggie’s family had to say about Maggie’s first day:

“…she settled down & slept most of the way home. ..we put Maggie out for a pee & in fine form, she christened the ferry. Oscar let her know who’s house this is at their first meeting. One giant ‘HISS’ & Maggie is giving him quite a wide berth. Although she does try to play a bit with him when she is in a more playful mood. Oscar does appreciate the ‘lounger bed’. When I took Maggie outside around 2AM, Oscar was a curled up in it in the kitchen. I’m sure they will be almost friends in a few days.”

[td1] Tan Collar Girl  [/td1] [td2]

Our little red headed girl with the tan collar is living in Anmore and now known as Yatou. Yatou is an affectionate term for a young girl in Cantonese and holds strong sentimental meaning for this family. Yatou shares her new home with 2 lively boys, a Dad who was “seduced” by her at their meeting at Van Isle and a Mom who wanted a wonderful, loving daughter. Yatou had to be a labradoodle who could fill a lot of wish lists and she is doing so quite nicely. Here is what Yatou’s new Mom has had to say:

“Yatou is doing well. A sweetheart. She only whined when she was first locked in the crate when we all went to sleep and slept thru the night. I took her out for a walk and she did her thing outside today. She lives to follow us, me especially and loves to sleep under the couch. “

[td1] Red Collar Boy  [/td1] [td2]

Red collar boy is now “Tucker” and full of enthusiasm and energy for life. This labradoodle puppy is destined for a life of fitness as both his parents are involved in serious running competitions. I don’t think they will be able to tucker Tucker out as he is a leggy fellow who loves to use his limbs to “talk” and interact with people. Tucker is also a gorgeous red tuxedo labradoodle who just loves to love people. Here is an update on Tucker from his family:

“Tucker is doing great! He has captured the hearts of the whole family already. Thank you again! He has settled into our home already.”

[td1] Yellow Collar Girl 

[/td1]

[td2] And last but not least is yellow collar girl, now known as Van Isle’s Spirit of Bijoux. Spirit is the labradoodle puppy we kept back from this litter as a potential breeding prospect. Spirit suits her name perfectly as she is full of life and can’t wait for every new day and adventure to begin. Her gorgeous cream colouring with a hint of red reminded us of the Spirit Bear and thus her name choice was obvious. Keep checking back to see how Spirit progresses in her quest to become one of our amazing labradoodle mamas. Spirit will be a touch larger than Bijoux, so a nice sized medium labradoodle showing off a straight, fleece coat in gorgeous tones. We are very excited for what the future holds for us at Van Isle labradoodles with this amazing girl.

One thing is for sure, Spirit has inherited Bijoux’s typical doodle love of being upside down!

Finally, an enormous Paws Up to all our terrific Van Isle labradoodle puppy families!  It is a wonderful feeling to know our babies are being well loved and cared for.  The joy on the faces of both the humans and the puppies when they go home forever together is the most satisfying feeling I know.
