Our Moodles...

 Maltese x Miniature Poodle, we get the darker coloured puppies in these litters.

 or 

Maltese x Toy Poodle, we get the lighter coloured puppies in these litters.

This type of dog is very intelligent and socializes well with other dogs and animals. They come in a wide range of colours from the lighter shades through to black. They are a loving, loyal active dog, weighing up to 7 kgs and standing approximately 30cms at shoulders. The Moodle will suit either inside or outside, but if kept inside they will need  to have toys to play with and go for walks and runs in the park often. They may need  to be clipped around the face and ears and depending on your own preference, you may like to get them clipped all over.

Now !!!!

 

 

 
 

Hi Steven and Donna,

 
Just wanted to let you know that everything is going very well with our Moodle pups. They had their first puppy pre-school last night and did very well.

 Nearly everyone we know has visited to coo over how cute they are. They have settled in fairly quickly, I think because there is two of them, though the toilet training is still a challenge. Thank god we have wooden floors!

 They're growing bigger every day and we're very happy with them so thank you.

 

Kind regards,     Lyndal July 2005

Oscar & Lucy Update !!!! 

Hi Donna,
 
Another progress report and some photos of almost-adult Moodles which you might like for your website. Oscar and Lucy are 6 months old now and they got desexed 2 weeks ago. 
They both have lovely natures and people tell me all the time how cute they are. 

We had a family picnic a few weeks ago and they encountered small children properly for the first time. The kids were all over them, picking them up and slinging them over their shoulders. They were completely fine with the rough treatment. They're very tolerant and will let you do anything to them really.

 They're also quite sensible, they don't run off down the street if the front door is open, that kind of thing. Oscar likes to swim and is quite adventurous. Lucy is a bit more cautious and enjoys paddling and digging in the sand. My beautiful doggies start Obedience school soon, so that's the next challenge! 

Their coats are very soft, fine and furry, rather than hairy. It is straight around the head and has a soft kink on their back. They have a little bit of the white fur coming through along their backbone, its not a true black on their back.  I cut the fur around their eyes. My sister clipped a short length off them with scissors to tidy up the rest of the coat as the ends were looking a bit straggly. But you wouldn't have to. 

They don't really moult although very fine black hairs stick to the sofa a little bit.  I don't really comb them except when they're having a bath, then I comb the shampoo and the conditioner through. They have baths every two weeks because we walk them near the harbour (on the west side, across from the fish markets...) and when they swim they get a bit smelly!

Thanks again, needless to say, we love them lots. 

Kind regards,    Lyndal January 2006

                       BUFFY.  AKA:

 Buff Buff, Fluffy, Nugget, Shadow, B, Guinea Pig, Munchkin, The Buffster and Psycho.

Buffy is a wonderful, friendly, playful puppy full of energy and loads of personality.  She loves playing with ANYTHING she can get her little paws on and can entertain herself for hours. 

 She's very good with walks and insists on saying hello to every person and dog we meet along the way.  She's a little princess that poses for the camera, hates cold baths, and wet grass.  Strangely though, is quite happy to take a dip in a pond and roll around in the dirt, producing a gorgeous lamington look.  

She'll follow you where every you go so that she's in the know and with the action.  Toilet training has been a little difficult, but she's improving fast with a little help from elder dogs.  For a tiny puppy, Buffy loves puppy play dates hanging with the Big Dogs.  She's quick to learn new tricks from them always well behaved.  (She does this awesome running launch thing off chairs and decks that's to die for!  She gets a lot of air for a teeny tiny puppy!  Must be the fur… ) 

 Everyone just loves Buffy and I will never be short of puppy sitters!   Buffy is the most adorable little fluff ball that has won the hearts of everyone who meets her.  I get tones of comments and questions about her breeding and I always direct them to your website.  

     Thank you Donna and Steven  for Buffy.      Regards,    Mia Binnie December 2005

NEW BUFFY UPDATE

Buffy is now three years old and around 5kgs.  She's a wonderful, friendly, playful puppy full of energy and loads of personality.  She loves playing with ANYTHING she can get her little paws on, is obsessed with squeaky toys, fetch, puddles (or any other body of water) and digging holes.  She's very good with walks and loves to explore and socialise with both humans and all sorts of animals (even the big ones).  She's a little princess that poses for the camera, hates cold baths, and wet grass.   

Toilet training had been a little difficult at first, but she improved fast.  Buffy is very smart and passed obedience school quickly.  She's quick to learn new tricks from other dogs and always respects the pecking order.  She's very aerodynamic for a little puppy, dances for her dinner and always stands on her back legs.   

Buffy is very hypo-allergenic, which is perfect for my allergies. She’s a fussy eater and would dine on fresh chicken and Smackos if I let her! 

Everyone just loves Buffy and I will never be short of puppy sitters!   Buffy is the most adorable little fluff ball that has won the hearts of everyone who meets her.  I get tones of comments and questions about her breeding and I always direct them to your website. 

 

Thank you Donna and Steven for Buffy.  She is everything to me.

Hi Donna and Steven

 
Well what a delight my lovely Moodle puppies are...........

Thankyou for providing top quality puppies and an excellent service 

 

Sooty and Sweep are a real delight and are giving myself and my family lots of pleasure, they're great company and are always a 'crowd pleaser'
 
I took them for their second round of vaccinations today and the vet was very pleased with their progress and state of health
 

I have also taken them to a puppy training class in the last couple of weeks, where I have gained valuable lessons with behavior, house training etc.

In fact I think that we have turned the corner with the house training and they are now, both going straight outside to relieve themselves when needed

 

I crate them at night and they sleep straight through with no fuss and during the day, they wander in and out of their crate (bedroom) to take naps
 
They have grown quite a bit in 6 weeks, I'm not sure if you'll be able to tell from the photos 
 
                                 Thankyou once again                                                                 Kind Regards Christine   Feb 06

These 2 puppies flew to Melbourne

 

 

 

 Hi Steven and Donna,

 

Thought you might like an update on how Remi is going, our gorgeous Moodle. She flew to Melbourne from Bathurst last year at only 8 weeks old, then had another 4 hour drive to get to her new home in Swan Hill. 

She already has an older brother Jaz, a Maltese x Shih Tzu, and although it took a couple of days for him to get used to his new mate, they soon became best buddies. Now they are inseparable, they do everything together -- lying on the couch, playing with toys, barking at cats across the road -- you name it.

 
I want to thank you so much for Remi, she is a wonderful addition to our little hairy dog family and I could not fault her. She has been a little terror at times, but all puppies are, and it only makes life more interesting. She is an intelligent, attractive, friendly dog and as time goes on she learns new things (playing fetch, toilet training etc)
 
She has some white through her (the Maltese in her coming out we suspect) but is predominantly black with white down her chest, paws and the tip of her tail.
 
I hope our feedback helps others in their decision-making. I didn't know anything about Moodles before we bought Remi, but now I would recommend them to anyone who loves a cuddly, happy companion!

Hi Steve and Donna,

                I thought it was about time I sent your some beautiful photos of our little baby Gypsy.

 She is a real character and definitely a real little woman. Gypsy has been to puppy school and graduated with honors. 

Her best friend was a bull mastiff  and heaven help anyone who tried to go near her when he was around. Hope you like the photos.  

             Thankyou Anita Winter   April 2006

 

Hi Steven & Donna,

I'm giving you an update on "Judd" our moodle boy who flew all the way to Perth in February to be with us and enjoy the Perth lifestyle. 

To start with, he's just fantastic and a real bundle of personality.  He
has settled very easily and coped very well with the Perth summer
(although if wasn't much of a summer this year).

 

He has a big back yard in which he guards as his domain and still hasn't worked out why the passing felines keep a very safe distance from him. He's finally got his bark fine tuned, which he uses very rarely and only when he wants to appear big and scary.

 

Judd loves the water and spent many a summer day lazing in a big bow I had filled up with water in the back yard.  He loves to jump in the pool with us (hates being left on the side) and although we didn't get to the beach I'm sure he's going to be bounding along the breaks.  He passed puppy preschool with flying colours and has become exceptional with his manners.  Having trained past dogs its been a real breeze teaching Judd.

He loves human company!!, he has to be near you, sitting on your feet if your standing in the kitchen or at least be within his sight.  My son and Judd get on like a house on fire and of course chasey is their favourite game.  Half time your not too sure who's chasing who!!

He's a great car traveler, which makes life very easy considering he
goes nearly everywhere with us.

  We're off down the farm this weekend for his first encounter with horses, sheep and lots of open space - he'll be in his element.

 

Donna and Steven thank you for sending Judd to us.  He's definitely not short of love and affection and has provided us with many a laugh.  I couldn't have asked for more with his spontaneity in character and gorgeous expressions.
 
           Kindest regards Bronwyn Jake and Judd - PERTH   May 2006

 

Dear Donna and Steven,

 

Thought I would pass this on for you to have a look at.

This is the chapter a US publisher are publishing about Moodles

(Maltipoos as their named in the US ).

Thank you for passing on my name to them for pictures of Judd.

He has increased his "legend" status once again by outclassing himself enough to have his photo published in a book.

Hi Steven & Donna,  

Our beautiful little Moodle Phoenix was flown to the Gold Coast in July 2005. When he arrived he looked like a little teddy bear, and I must say was the cutest thing we had ever seen.  

Phoenix graduated from puppy preschool with flying colours, and although he was very fast to learn his tricks (sit, drop, beg, rollover, 360 spin, speak which is bark on command, fetch, shake, kiss) he was slow with toilet training.  

We would describe Phoenix as the perfect dog! He is cute, smart, non aggressive, interacts well with other dogs (big and small), is great with kids, has a beautiful nature, does not shed any hair, does not smell, and LOVES swimming in the pool. What more could you ask for in a dog?  

People often stop us on walks and ask about Phoenix , and we always rave about Country Puppies and refer them to your website.

Phoenix loves going to our local dog park, the beach and playing with his mates. He has more toys than any kid I know, he loves to play fetch and his ultimate goal with stuffed toys is to rip the stuffing out!  

We are throwing him a party this week, and inviting his friends around to mark his 1st Birthday (9th May).  

Phoenix is loved by everyone, treated like royalty and is one very spoilt Moodle!  

Thank you for breeding such a wonderful dog. He brings great joy to our lives!

 Hi Steven and Donna,

 
Our Moodle,  Milly,  is nearly 11 months of age (born 12 July 2005) and she has been the most lovely addition to our lives.
 
Ever since she arrived here in Adelaide she has been a joy to own.
 
We took to puppy pre-school which she really enjoyed meeting the other puppies,  everyone thought she was very cute.  We had a few problems in house training,  but she suddenly got her act together at 7 months.  Milly lives indoors with us (We are a retired couple) and loves to go for walks most days and ride in the car.  We decided to have her clipped at 9 months in a " puppy look " style which really suits her.
 
We had one traumatic moment when she decided to consume a poinsiettia plant;  very poisonous, we dashed to the vet for a quick fix.
 
We find she has a great personallity and is very intelligent (she predicts every move we make)
 
Thank you very much for giving us a most delightful puppy.

Hi Steve and Donna, 

We bought Maybe back in September 2006.

She is now 6 months old and she is such an amazing little pup with a beautiful nature.

She is an absolute dream to have and quite smart. She picked up toilet training very quickly and rarely has an accident inside.

Her coat is amazing also…she doesn’t shed (I suffer from allergies!) and when she comes home from the groomers she becomes quite the fluffball. 

We love her to bits and are now contemplating getting another one! 

Thanks again for such a beautiful little dog.

Hi Donna & Steven,

 

We bought our Moodle (Misty) from you in September 2006. 

I thought you would like to see her now. She is absolutely beautiful and definitely runs the household.

She has a wonderful temperament & personality and is fantastic with the children. Our 2 boys adore her. 

We will be starting obedience classes soon which will be a challenge because she likes to be in charge! 

We wouldn’t be without her.  Thank you very much for bringing Misty into our world.

Dear Donna & Steven,

Hi there, I thought you may like an update on young Coco who we got from you back in Feb this year.  

This week she turns 5 months old so we have had her now for 3 months and I have to say she is an absolute delight, she has brought so much joy to our lives and is such an important part of us we couldn’t bare the thought of life without her now!  Her personality is simply “adorable” and everyone who meets her becomes smitten by her…she has a truly lovely nature and gets on beautifully with other dogs, people and children alike, she is just so friendly & social…she has become a bit of an icon in our neighborhood and at our local café and has made many friends (both dogs & humans) who go out of their way to come up and talk to her whenever they see her…and we can’t believe how many, perfect strangers stop us every day and ask all about her…I have answered the questions, “what breed is she?” & “where did you get her?” so many times now, I should have cards printed and just hand them out! 

She is already a very well traveled and cosmopolitan kinda gal…she’s been on the plane between Melbourne & Sydney several times, on a boat twice, a bus, a tram, a taxi…she comes shopping with me all the time, to the hair salon, to friends houses for dinner & attends functions at the gallery and all the while just sits quietly in her puppy carrier at my feet…she is always well behaved and handles it all with aplomb!  

In the training dept, we have already completed a puppy kinder course and are about to embark on an 8 week obedience course.  She surprises me daily with how smart she is, training is an absolute breeze and enjoyable.  She was house trained “weeks” ago, can walk on lead fabulously, knows how to sit, stay, wait, lie down, fetch, drop & respectfully understands the word “no”…amazing!  The best of all though, she makes us laugh everyday with her playful antics & sweetness, she is very funny & loving but never naughty…unlike many horror stories I’ve heard about puppies, we have not had one thing destroyed by Coco, she very quickly understood that she could do whatever she liked with her own toys but that everything else was ‘not for chewing’! 

Anyway, I just wanted to share all that with you both and to compliment & thank you, because obviously, without your professional breeding and the care of her in the early formative weeks we wouldn’t have our special little girl today, so thanks a million! 

                     Kindest regards Kerri, Stuart & Coco   May 07

UPDATE ON SOPHIE

Hello Donna and Steve,

Here is an update photo of Sophie at 7 months.
She is doing well at obedience training. She loves 
to play with three neighbors puppies in the park.

Her coat is beautiful with no shedding. Traveling in
the car is easy as she loves it. As Steven predicted she
loves to be by my side and trots around the house as I 
go about my day. She is a wonderful companion.

                      Regards, Joy August 08

 

     

 
Hey Steven & Donna,

We bought our little dog from you last year (2007) on the 24th of February.
Romey is a moodle, male and is now about a year and a half old.
Though he still is quite a bit smaller than all his friends at the dog park! 
He is very loyal, and at the same time very naughty! 
He is also an excellent explorer (not that great, but he does have guts).

Romey is also very intelligent, and learns tricks very quickly, given the right encouragement.

We would really like to thank you for our wonderful puppy.

Hi Steven and Donna

 
Thought I'd send you an update on Jelly, our beautiful little Moodle that we bought from you in November 2008.
He's given us so much love and happiness it's amazing how much a dog really can change your life. 

 

Jelly loves absolutely everyone, he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. He also has no fear and will try and make friends with every dog in the park even if they are big and scary! He's such a confident little dog who just loves life! He's great with kids and loves to play with his ball and his teddies!

 

I want to thank you so much for giving us such a beautiful natured little guy. He gets so much love and attention and gives it straight back in return, I couldn't imagine life without a dog now, it wouldn't be the same!

 

Thanks Again     Emma and Chris  Aug 2008

 

 

Hi Steven & Donna

 
We bought a little moodle boy about 6 weeks ago and met you in Katoomba just to meet him but ended up buying him.  We have named him Charlie and he really is a little character.  He was born on 28.5.08.
 
He had his second lot of needles a couple of weeks ago and met his new vet who thought he was so beautiful.  He is such a little charmer. 
 
He has settled in great ... has a fantastic appetite.  We have started giving him the odd chicken wing and loves them. He even eats his worm tablet as if its a liver treat...
 
When playing with his ball & toy rope he 'sits' on command before its thrown.
 
We still have a few hiccups with house training...gets very excited when he sees us and has a little accident !!
 
We would like to thank you again for our Charlie.  He really does bring us lots of fun and love.  We have sent you a couple of updated photos and we will send you more as he gets older.
 
Kind regards
Ross Caroline Brittany & Heather Ayden.
