BELLA

Hello Wendy,
We were just thinking about you and how lucky we are to have one of your puppies!
Bella is very happy ( as are we with her ).  She has brought great joy into our lives. The best companion, but a little crazy puppy still, as per normal at this age.  We live near the sea, and she loves playing with the waves, she is great at fetching and is a great watch 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.

RUBY

Hi Wendy,
I thought I would drop you a line and let you know how little Ruby is going.

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. She is a most delightful and much loved wee Doggy and can't really imagine life without her really - a real credit to you in those formative weeks, as she is 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
Susanne

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
Fiona Hare

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.

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.

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.

MILLY KENNY

Milly.D.O.B 15.12.07 Daughter of Cole & Rupert. Thank you so much Wendy for breeding "The Perfect Dog." Milly has been such a wonderful addition to our family. She was completely self-toilet trained by 3 months (amazing as I have breed big dogs in the past who took nearly a year).

I have grandchildren & she is 100 per cent safe around babies, toddlers etc. What amazes me is her intelligence & loyalty. She is such a joy to take everywhere we go. Anybody contemplating giving a home to one (or more) of Wendy's Schnoodles will "Never" be disappointed.
