We are considering getting a puppy from GDA. Would love to hear any advice anyone has to offer.
Thanks

I purchased a puppy from GDA back in October, 2008. Our little Zosia is adorable and smart. The only problem I had was crate training her and that took almost 3 weeks. If you have any other questions, just ask. Potty training was easy. I did as Janece said to take her out every hour. I would say she had NO accidents by December and we brought her home on 10/25/08. Good Luck---my husband and I just love our little Zosia.

Thanks for your reply. Who are the parents of Zosia and how big is she now? What is her personality like?

Hi Julie,

We purchased a goldendoodle this March from GDA. WileyFin is a super smart adorable puppy. He has long cream-colored wavy (shaggy) hair and a sweet personality. Wiley is 5 months old and weighs about 45 lbs. We expect him to grow a bit more. His father was Gromit and mother was Ginger. By the way...he loves our aging Golden the two of them love playing in the water together.

Janece from GDA just told me about doodlekisses. We were looking at the pictures and yours was the first I posted to. Couldn't resist your darling picture. We are thinking about getting a puppy from them. Gromit lives in a guardian home in DePere. (That's where we are) Did you ever meet the parents? Any advice on GDA? You are obviously very happy with your dog. How old is your other dog and where did you get him?

Hi Julie,
We purchased Agnes from the same litter as WileyFin (Ginger and Gromit born in early Feb). She's a bit smaller than Wiley... 35 lbs now. She's extremely loving, but also playful. Very smart, loves to practice "tricks." We don't have children, but I'm a teacher and I've taken her to school a few times. She LOVES kids (and they like her too). I met Cinnamon (Ginger's sister), and visited Janice's home. We have been very pleased with Agnes, and I'd be happy to answer any other questions for you.

Thank you for your advice. I did meet with Janece yesterday and got on a waiting list for a puppy. Janece was so kind to us and she obviously does a great job with her dogs. I'll post some photos for you to see when we get our puppy. Thanks again for your thoughts!

Her parents are Coco and Dakota. She will be around 30-35lbs. and now at 10months she is 26lbs. Her personality will vary she can be loving and sweet, always friendly, and on the other hand she can be a barrel of laughs tenacious not easily distracted from something she chooses to do. She loves to take walks and go for a ride in the car. When we first got her she wasn't crazy about going for a ride in the car, she would salivate. Now she is fine---loves the car. Zosia is the child we never had. Like I said before we just love her. If you have any other question, just ask. If you would like to see a picture of her , just send me your email address. She is beautiful and we are proud of her. Did I tell you how smart she is........well I will need more time. She amazes us daily...........

I am thrilled to tell you that we met with Janece yesterday and are on a waiting list for a puppy. She was so kind to us and we were very pleased with the environment and the puppies. Thank you so much for helping us make this difficult decision. We will have a half sibling to Zosia as Dakota is our puppies Dad. I'll be sure to post some pictures when we get him. Thanks again!
