GEORGIE Hi Wendy, It is hard for us to put into a few words just how much we love Georgie. As you know we have our beautiful boy Isaac who has his own superpowers (aka Cerebral Palsy), so it was really important for us to choose the right breed of dog. Once we decided on a schnoodle we were all very excited. Right from the beginning, you filled us with so much confidence. Throughout the entire process kept us up to date with videos and calls and emails, amazing service! As we live in Mount Maunganui we weren't able to visit the puppies once they were born, so we were a little anxious about meeting Georgie for the first time. We had nothing to be anxious about! Georgie is perfect for us, and from day one has been such an easy puppy with so much character and she fitted into our family as if she has always been with us. She is a very bright little dog and loves being involved with everything we do, from walks on the beach, to helping 'Dad' (who is a builder) doing all the dirty work, she is great at digging holes haha. |
She loves doing the school run with mum and Isaac and is literally by mum's side all day helping with the 'chores'. Isaac and Georgie have developed a beautiful friendship, she has been so well behaved at learning how to interact with Isaac (he has anxieties and uses a wheelchair and walking frame), it is like Georgie 'knew' that Isaac was special. Within two weeks she knew the dos and don'ts. Isaac laughs at all her puppy antics and snuggles up with her on the couch, the two of them are very cheeky together (ie Isaac dropping his food for her even though he knows he shouldn't, and Georgie waiting for him to do so!) She is well known in the community, everyone stops to say hello to her out on our walks, as she is just way too cute and has such a big personality! Wendy, thank you so much for giving us Georgie, we are so incredibly happy! Shelley, Shay and Isaac |
KANSAS Hi Wendy, I thought I should send a Kansas update 😊 and to thank you SO MUCH for being incredible through the entire process. He has been an absolute dream since we brought him home and has most definitely changed our lives. Leading up to the day to bring him home everyone I talked to told me he’d cry for the first couple of nights, most likely not |
eat all of his food and overall need the time to fully adjust. I mentally prepared for that, but to my surprise (and delight) we’ve experienced none of the above! He didn’t cry once, sleeps all through the night in his bed next to me, eats all of his food, almost perfectly potty trained and has quite the personality! Part of it may be luck, but I’m certain this seamless transition comes down to the effort, care, and love you obviously have for your puppies! Again, we can’t thank you enough. He’s growing by the day, incredibly smart, and the energy keeps us all active. 😉 Jillian & Ben |
BELLA Hello Wendy, |
dog barking at anything is out of the ordinary. We completely adore her, and she is so much loved by us. Thank you so much for our bundle of joy! Thank you Wendy for our lovely girl. Peter and Lynne Hall |
RUBY Hi Wendy, She has fitted into the family fantastically, couldn't have asked for a better new addition really. It is almost like she understands what we are saying to her and she can be most angelic and the perfect dog most of the time. She has free run of the property (15 acres) but the only time she ever wanders off is to visit the rubbish pit and always comes back with (in her mind) a little treasure of some description. The kids absolutely adore her (we all do) and they are great playmates - our Son plays rough, tumble with her and runs around with her at full speed. Ruby loves riding in the car and gets most pipped if she is left behind if one of us goes out. |
very very Human (or toddler like Lol!) Has her own possie on the couch in the evenings and is excellent with her toileting as well. That didn't take very long at all. I have hatched some Chickens since we had her, and because she has been with them all along she does not worry them at all. She comes out every morning and evening to unlock and lock them up, but she really doesn't take any notice of them, nor they of her. My Step Son arrived with his Corgi the same age as Ruby the other day and created havoc with them. I spent all day chasing his Dog and the Chickens and Ruby was so wonderful in trying to distract the other dog with sharing her bones etc. She would walk up to the Corgi and drop the bones in front of it and then back off a little bit as if to say "here you go - you can have it" Such a sweetie! Love her to bits So the up-shot is really she is a much treasured wee girl and an absolute joy to have as company and a family member. Cheers for now and many thanks |
LOCKIE Dear Wendy and Tony, We live in Tauranga and got a puppy from you 2 1/2 years ago. He is Ella and Rupert's pup and was the last of your litter of 8 at the time. We met you when we made a trip down to visit when the pups were 6 weeks old and then you flew Lockie and 2 of his sisters up to this area. Your description of Ella's intelligent but calm personality, but always ready for a game summarises Lockie exactly. He is very smart and understands a huge number of words, commands, does tricks, can be walked without the lead and listens to instructions (mostly!). He loves the water and fetching a stick/ball. He is so loyal to Graham and I, warning us when anyone comes to the house but has all the important people (friends and family) down in his little register of people to get excited about when he sees them - so therapeutic for the likes of nana who can get a little lonely and absolutely adores Lockie and of course he reciprocates fully making her feel very special! |
Not long after we got Lockie, Graham had an accident with his back and ended up off work for a long period of time. Lockie was an amazing companion for Graham and the two of them have a very special bond. As it was my idea to get a dog and Graham went along for the ride but was more unsure, it was lovely to see this happen and he often says how getting Lockie was the best decision ever - phew! I have included a few snaps of Lockie out of the myriad that we have. He is sometimes quite hard to photograph clearly - a bit like his mum and Lola with the dark faces. In the last year he has started to lighten up with silver coming through in his back and definitely the legs. Looks more like grey really but we say silver like his dad! He was a plain black little pup with fairly straight sparse fur and when we got him we were unsure what his coat would do but it has turned out great. He has curls! Keep up your great breeding programme and I can only hope new pups will bring as much joy to their families as our Lockie has to us. Kind regards |
JAZZ D.O.B 20.04.2009 Daughter of Ella and Rupert. A little black and silver cutie. Jazz became part of our family almost from the day she was born due to constant and most looked forward to updates from Wendy - one of the most professional breeders I have met and whose puppies are an absolute credit to her. Jazz arrived in immaculate condition with her pink blanket; already toilet trained and was loved immediately by everyone in the family. From a very early age she learnt her commands and loved learning new tricks, was super intelligent and willing and eager to please. Jazz is wonderful company and shadows us all everywhere. She is the first into the car and is always ever hopeful of a walk should she find her lead and bring it to you. It is almost as though she can tell the time, |
as she is ready to meet the kids from the bus at 3.45. She is always ready for a run or playing hide and seek or her favourite pastime - chasing blackbirds in the garden. Her sleeping arrangements began with a bed in the laundry but this of course has changed to the end of a child's bed - everyone, particularly Jazz seems happy with this arrangementWe can't recommend highly enough, the schnoodles from Rangeview Kennels. The whole process of purchasing your puppy is incredible - Wendy is a delight to deal with - she adores the puppies and takes a personal interest in each and everyone. Thanks Wendy - Jazz is one of the family and adored by everyone we
meet. THE RICKARDS FAMILY – Nelson |
MAC Mac has been a delight right from day one and we thank you Wendy for breeding and raising such a fantastic puppy that is growing up to be a big favourite with all our family even the older ones that don't live at home anymore. He follows us and JB our other dog everywhere and has been very easy to train right from the start. We go for big walks and rides in the car and he is a hit with everyone. He has a very big personality. |
Russell my husband, Mac's dad as he is known travels a lot and the first question I get when he calls is how's my boy, for someone that didn't want another dog he is smitten with Mac. I have recommended Wendy and her pups to so many people and hope anyone considering one of these breeds looks at her pups as they are a delight and beautiful. A big credit to you Wendy keep up the great work. ADRIENNE & RUSSELL CONNING |
MILLY After much deliberation we decided to get a puppy, a schnoodle was the preferred type of dog and I came across Rangeview on trade me. From the very first time I spoke to Wendy I was confident that we were making the right decision. Wendy was so helpful and reassuring and kept us up to speed on how our chosen puppy was doing together with lots of photos. |
When the time came to collect Milly from the airport we were very excited and also nervous on how she would be in reality but we need not of worried because she's been great right from the off, she has settled in so well and is a very much loved member of our family. She is one very clever dog, easy to train and great fun to have around, bags of energy, sometimes naughty but highly entertaining. KIWIGATE FAMILY |
