I was just telling my sister about the support and help I get from DoodleKisses (she's jealous there's not a ShepherdKisses - lol) and got to wondering how long it actually has been around, AND how long you all have been a member? Maybe there's a place I'm missing on our page that says when we first joined?
July 21, 2008. We learned about doodles on a camping trip in June, found and picked up Ned by June 30! We found and joined dk a few weeks later. I have looked for English Springer sites - but nothing.
I joined on September 10, 2008 when I found the site researching breeders. Ironically Gaston-Cramer was born the very next day! This site has been invaluable to us. Without it Rose would not be joining our family next month. For that and so much more I will always be grateful I found DoodleKisses!
I think I joined the day after Peri was born - April 7, 2009. It was a sad sad day for me because I didn't think I was going to get Peri, but my breeder still invited me to join while I waited for the next mini litter. Peri's litter was smaller than anticipated and I was at the bottom of the waitlist. Luckily, 2 folks in head of me didn't want a girl. I was open to male or female, so that is how I ended up getting my Peri!
I believe that Adina started DoodleKisses on either the 15 or 16th of April 2008. I know that because this is the same time that we got our girls. Although I didn't find DoodleKisses until a little while after that I just remember the timing because I thought "Oh that's the same time we got the girls".
We joined May 16, 2009 shortly after we got Harlow. I originally heard about DK from my family doctor, but it was an invite from Dianne Carter that got us started. Many thanks to Dianne for the invite and Adina for creating.
Because it's fun, informative and a great escape. That's not counting that it's a place to meet great people from all over. You guys are doing a great job with the Olympics. Go Canada & USA!
Nevermind...I joined BEFORE Peri was born (even though I didn't think I had a chance on the waitlist). March 30, 2009; Perebear was born one week later :)
