Hi Kim,

Thought I would send you a picture of Buster, Bella's cream boy who we received at the end of June. He is a good boy and so loved by our family!

Hey Kim and Mollie,
I just wanted to let you know that Izzie is doing GREAT!  She is so smart and is doing great with her training!  The trainer is amazed at how quickly she picks things up....after a few weeks, she can sit/stay, down/stay, shake, high 5, wave, and roll over.   She walks well on her leash and is great dogs as well as people.....My 5 year old daughter carries her around all the time and Izzie is so patient about it!  I am so happy with my purchase and want to thank you for breeding such a great dog!  I'm almost ready for another one!!  I've included some pictures for your to see just how cute she is!  Thanks again!

Kim,
 
I just wanted to drop you a note about Russell. Russell is such a blessing.  He and Shaggy get along so well. They love each other and rassel around and just have a great time.  He is  beautiful. Looks a lot like his Father. I promise a picture we are going to take some this weekend and I will send one to you.He is very well mannered and Shaggy taught him to sit on command.  He almost has the come, and wait command mastered, but I am not worried. He is very young. The children love him and it has been a pleasure. My friend Melissa is so excited about their new addition.  I have two more friends that are gong to be contacting you. My friends are so amazed that I ended up with two perfect dogs, and I tell them..."It's the breed, not me". I truly believe that the Australian Labradoodle is the best thing going!!!!!!!  It is all the qualities of all the great things about dogs all rolled into one.

We are extremely pleased with our puppies (Australian Multigeneration Miniature Labradoodles), Burberry & Pringle.  Kim Kochman, breeder, and her assistant, Mollie, have exceeded our expectations at this point.  The web site is www.manorlakelabradoodles.com.  They breed three sizes:  miniature, medium, and standard.  Also, many colors are available.

Dear Kim and Mollie,
 
This is a long overdue note of thanks for such a wonderful puppy. His arrival was a great experience.  the airline was fantastic.  We have all fallen in love with our Moose.  He is now almost 5 months old and enjoying life to the fullest.  He has had all his shots, is enrolled in puppy school, enjoys new experiences- kids, adults, other dogs, parks, ponds...., and continues to love to be held.  House training and crate training went very well.  He is taken on 2-3 walks a day.   
I will send pictures hopefully next week after he is groomed for the first time. We got together with Moose's cousins also this week- the Feltes's dogs.  I will send those pictures too.  They had a great time playing.  I have also finally sent along to you the health form.
 
Thank you,

Dear Kim,
 
Here is Shaina at 10+weeks 8 lbs + She is everything I had hoped for and more. About a week after her arrival in San Francisco, we moved up to Bear Valley in the Sierra for the summer. Lots of 'room' here and she loves it. Socializing nicely with neighbors, friends, kids, and selected other healthy dogs. I took her to the local vet a couple of days ago to introduce her to Shaina and to have her shot. (Shaina, not the vet) She is all the things a puppy should be. She is now almost 10 lbs at 12 weeks and seems to be having an eating and growing spurt. Thanks for the beautiful dog and the fine preparation.
I have started obedience training. Every day is an adventure and entertainment.
 
Warm regards,

p.s. a couple of days ago my wife discovered we have a near neighbor with a 12 week male apricot labradoodle. Taking over the world!
 
Hi Mollie & Kim-
I just wanted to let you know how the puppy is doing.  I decided to name him Winston, it fits him very well.  We’ve had a lot of family in town, staying at the house and they all adore him!  I don’t think his feet ever touched ground, everyone wanted to hold him.  He’s getting used to his surrounding and starting to investigate and pick on the shepherds (he chases after them and bites their heels).  He is now eating better and sleeping through the night.  Everyone thinks he is growing every minute and can’t believe it.  He started learning to swim, but isn’t quite sure what to think about it.  I attached some pictures, one is him playing tug with our 10 month old German shepherd.  My cousin got him a t-shirt that he is wearing proudly in the other one.

Thanks!

Hi Kim,
 
Hana is thriving in Colorado.  She loves the outdoors and gets great delight in chasing butterflies, leaves and anything else that flies by.  She would rather the deer stay out of her territory as they still perplex her.  Hana is a great hiker and is so proud of herself when she is leading in front on her leash.  She is doing so well in puppy school and knows sit, down, stand, wait, stay, touch, go bed, go crate.  We are working on come...it happens when it suits her as does leave it and off.  Hana loves the laundry basket and our exercise shoes which she knows are off limits but very tempting.  We love having her as part of our family.  She is both an angel and an imp and cute as can be.  This week she goes for her first grooming although she has already had several baths since she will be in any puddle or dirt that comes her way.
 
Thank you,

Hi Kim,

I just wanted to drop you a note about hopw in love we are with Penny! She is such a great dog! She is really really trainable and so loving and very sociable. Everyone is in love with her who meets her and she is the celebrity dog of not only our block but all the kids on the camp bus too! Penny has a lot of dog freinds in our neighborhood and loves to play with all of them. She weighs about 23 pounds now and is of course still growing. Penny is the perfect companion to everyone in our household and we all are so happy with her. She is also taking puppy manners classes!

Warm Regards,

Kim and Mollie,
 
The crate recommendation worked great (he was a tight fit on the way home, but we made it).  Thanks!  Nate is a hit wherever we go and he absolutely loves all the attention.  We recommend labradoodles and Manor Lake to anyone who asks (and that's everyone we see).  Keep up the great work!  Here are a few pics.

Hi Kim,

Lucy is almost 8 months old now and we wanted to let you know that she is an amazing dog and is doing great. She has been ridiculously easy to train. She just does what you tell her to do without hesitation. She is spending two days a week at doggy day care when I am unable to be home with her and she loves playing with all of her friends. She is great with kids, dogs and everyone that she comes into contact with. We are often stopped on the street to be told how spectacular she is. We have given your name and number out to a few people and hope that they contact you for a puppy. Hope all is well with your family and dogs.

Kim/Mollie,
 
Hope all is well.  I just wanted to give you an update on our new puppy.  He is doing great.  We named him Cooper.  We have had him for 2 weeks now, and he has been a great puppy, with a wonderful temperment.  Everyone who meets him thinks he is the most adorable puppy they have ever seen.  He has adjusted well to our home, and has not had any accidents.  We could not be happier.  I have attached a few pictures of him over the last few weeks. 
 
Thanks,

Hi Kim and Mollie,
 
Just wanted to send some recent pictures of Grady (from Grace and Eddie's litter).  Grady is now 3 months old.  He has made the adjustment to our home and is doing great.  He is a playful, smart and happy puppy.  He goes "potty" outside and has learned to sit and lay down.   He loves to play with our young boys and has become a wonderful addition to our family.  We love to watch him prance around.  He is a proud little boy.  Thank you for such a beautiful and special puppy.  We love him.
 
Sincerely,
Ann, Chris, Luke and Jake

Kim and Mollie,

Burberry is adjusting extremely well and is such a gem. In fact, he is adjusting much better than we could ever have imagined. He is at work with me right now… and is getting accustomed to all the new sounds! His Saturday delivery was without a snag (very impressive airlines) & he didn’t even mess in his crate. He came clean as a whistle, he’s such a bundle of love. Have a fantastic day… love from Burberry!

Kim/Mollie:
 
We could not be more pleased with our Snicker.  He is just a darling little fella and he has captivated the attention of everyone he comes in contact.  Manor Lake has provided us with the little darling we knew he would be and we will be forever grateful for the time and energy spent on him. Each day we grow more and more fond of our Snicker and he is a testament to Manor Lake's hard work. We cannot praise you highly enough.
We had him checked by our local vet and he passed with flying colors. 
Once again Snicker is an endearing little guy and he has a loving place in our home.
 
Thanks again for everything.

Hi Kim
 
I have wanted to send you a couple of pictures of Marley(about 15 pds) and Milo(14 pds). They were 6 months on the 2nd of May.
 
They were bathed yesterday and had the hair cut from their eyes.
They are the sweetest dogs, so love-able, great personalities. Marley is the shy guy he lets Milo do all the investigating. Milo is our busy guy and is always playing. They have brought so much joy to our lives. We are constantly asked where we got them. They get a lot of attention when were out with them. I am fortunate that I can bring them to work with me every day. They have completed two puppy classes with flying colors. They are very smart dogs. Their brother Teddy came up from San Diego about a month ago to see us and the dogs all got along really well, we believe they remembered each other.
 
Thanks

Kim,
I haven't sent you an update in a while and wanted to let you know that as we approach a year, we couldn't be happier with Java.  He has been one of the easiest puppies!!!  He is always willing to please and extremely trainable.  Here are a couple of pictures.  I am now grooming both doodles myself and even though Java hasn't gone through his coat change, I did give him a summer cut as it is pretty hot for him with a full coat and he looks all grown up!  He isn't swimming yet like Kona, but he is really starting to think about it.  I hope all is well in Washington.  You have some beautiful dog and some very awesome puppies on the way.  I have to stay away as they are all so temping.

Sincerely,

The Szukala Family, California

Just wanted to let you know Duncan is doing very well. He snuggled the whole car ride home, he is just a lovebug!
He is sleeping through the night in his crate, and hasn't had an accident yet! We absolutely adore him! Thank you for such a wonderful puppy! I truly believe that Manor Lake breeds THE best puppies.

Hi Kim and Mollie,

We picked up the puppy from the airport on Friday. Air Canada treated him really well. He wasn't afraid at all and was very calm when we brought him home. He's doing very well. We love him very much. He's exploring, learning and teething a lot. After a whole weekend without a name, we finally decided to call him Kobe. He is just the sweetest thing. He has such a funny personality. When we give him his toys, he takes them all to one little carpet and he keeps a whole pile there. He loves napping on big pillows, and we havn't had any accidents yet!!

Thanks again for everything...

Hi Kim,

I finally have some pictures of Buddy to send you.  He was exactly 5 months when this was taken.  He is doing great and we just love him, he is really a well behaved dog, He basically has free run of the house, he has a doggy door that goes out to his dog run, so he uses that when he as do go to the bathroom, but most of the time he stays pretty close to us, he plays great with his toys and our grandchildren. He also plays well with other dogs, sometimes when he sees another dog on his walk he thinks he is bigger than he is until we get closer.  He is really pretty funny.
Thanks again,

Cindy

Clyde & Cody are doing great. Horses haven't figured out what to make of them yet. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Hi Kim,

I wanted to send you a couple of updated photos of Cody and Clyde! They are 4 months old now and doing great. They are so energetic, smart, fun and loveable. Everywhere we go we hear ” What kind of dogs are they? They are sooo cute!?”Cody is the one outside( Cheyenne and Eddie) His coat is getting lighter as you can see by his ears. Clyde is so proud of himself as he found out how to get on the mantle and pose! (Lilly and Eddie) We potty trained them using poochie bells and in 7 days they were ringing the bells to go outside…..to potty and to play, but they picked up quickly. We will keep you posted on our sweet little boys!

Thanks again,

Hi Kim.
I can't even begin to tell you how happy we are with our precious labradoodle.  Buddy is a great puppy. He is so easy, so adorable, he give us so much pleasure.  He is really quite a character lots of personality, very smart, he is just a love.  We have taken him out with us when we go out to breakfast or lunch when they have an outdoor patio (the weather has been great)  He is so well behaved! He will start training shortly.  I think he will be easy to train. He  went to the vet today for more  shots, he weighs 15 lbs. he will be 15 weeks tomorrow. Our Vet always comments on what a great dog we have.  We really were fortunate when we found your web site I will send you pictures when I figure out how to down load them to my computer.  His black coat is just beautiful and his face gets cuter and cuter everyday.
Thanks for giving us a great dog

Hi Kim,
I just have to tell you once again how happy we are with our Puppy. Buddy is just the greatest dog.  He is so easy, so well behaved.  We take him with us all the time, he is just great.  We are actually up in the mountains this weekend, we have a home in Lake Arrowhead, he saw Snow  for the first time, he just loves it, He is having the best time, so easy, just adjusts to every new situation like he's been doing it forever. 
I had a private trainer come to the house last week I was going to do a series of private and then he would go into a group class, she said why am I here? he is so good, so we did one private and then he will go into the class, He is really a great puppy. Just wanted to let you you how happy we are, he has the greatest personality.  He is so wonderful with our grandchildren.
Thanks again,
The Wallace family, California

Kim,

I thought you might like to see some pictures of Laddie now that he is seven months old. There are two taken on his birthday and one at his graduation from puppy obedience school. As the pictures testify, he is growing into a beautiful, beautiful boy. He also did proudly in obedience school. We are finding that there is quite a network of labrodoodle people. I have given out your e-mail several times as we feel you provide wonderful puppies and superior breeding. We are also finding that labradoodles - at least the ones we have met - have similar characteristics: intelligence and a propensity for clowning around.

Thank you for such a wonderful puppy.

Sincerely,

The Dundas Family, Billings, Montana

 

Kim,

Lucy is 14 weeks old and gets more spectacular with each passing day. We are absolutely amazed at how smart she is and how easy she has been to train. Our vet and dog trainer are both very impressed with her and have both stated that it is obvious how well she was taken care of while in your care. She was sleeping through the night after only three days and now only has very rare accidents that are mostly my fault and not hers. Although my wife thinks that I am nuts, I am almost ready to bring home another puppy from one of your upcoming litters. Thanks for everything and mostly for breeding such an amazing puppy. Clover and Eddie should be very proud of their daughter.

Dear Kim,
Enclosed are pictures of Bosco in his new home. He has adjusted very quickly. We can't thank you enough for this bundle of love. He has brought so much joy to our family. He is very silly, fun and the best "snuggler"! We took him to the vet last week. He said that he could tell that Bosco came from a great breeder who spent a lot of time with him. He said he is very socialized and healthy and will grow to be a wonderful pet! He also started puppy school this past week. He is the best behaved puppy at school. The trainer even uses him to demonstrate commands. Bosco also gets along very well with our 10-year old dachshund, Oscar and vice versa. They play together often. We have fallen in love with the Australian Labradoodle breed. Thanks again!

My family had a great experience with Manor Lake Labradoodles.  Kim and Mollie are comprehensively supportive, flexible, and accommodating.  And their puppies are cute, well-mannered, with wonderful temperaments and well-trained upon delivery.  Manor Lake Labradoodles is a wonderful breeder.

Dear Kim,
 
There are no words that we can use to express how much we love our little Cali LG
(short for Little Girl).  We loved the name and thought we would continue it from mother to daughter.  Our little girl has brightened up our home once again since we lost our last companion after 17 years.  She is a fur ball of sheer pleasure and fun.  When we give her the command "Outside", she comes to us and sits down so that we can put her collar and leash on her.  The occasional accident in the house doesn't phase us as she is learning quite quickly to "go potty" outside.  Her intelligence, personality and loving kisses are a testimony to your wonderful commitment to breeding the best Labradoodles.   Starting with the attention that was given to her  during shipping to your phone support, we don't think that there could be a more caring or professional breeder anywhere.  Thank you once again for such a wonderful bundle of joy.

After searching for quite a while, I found Manor Lake Australian Labradoodles.  When I spoke to Kim, I knew I had found my breeder.  Our girly, Copper, has exceeded all of our expectations.  The joy she has brought to  our family is immeasurabale.  We get stopped everywhere we go with our little puppy and I have given out Kim's name many times.  Thank you so much for breeding such a smart, loving, and GORGEOUS puppy.

Sincerely,

Hi Kim,

Just a note to let you know all is well and she is doing just great.  The airplane ride didn't seem to phase her in the least.  It took no time for her to be playing with my 2 grandchildren in the back seat.  We got home and she acted perfectly comfortable with her surroundings.  As of this afternoon, I think she realizes that when we go outside she is not just out there to chase leaves.  I seem to be having a problem naming her.  Any ideas?  Seems I have too many opinions (my children).  My wheaten has her moments of frustration with her, but for the most part is good to her. 

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Judy



Kim,

Here's some of the the latest pictures of our little Maxer-Doodle...
and of course that's Jax in the background!  Hee-hee!  They are such buds!
I have to tell you, Max gets so much attention when we go to the park.
He's a superstar!  Everyone just loves his look and his color.  The public
reaction is the same as mine when I found your website!
Your dogs are gorgeous!  And so I guess I can say my dog is too!
 
Thanks a bunch!

Hi Kim,

Our puppy is doing great.  We have named him "Dewey".
We absolutely love Dewey and thank you for breeding such
wonderful puppies!

Deciding to get a Labradoodle from Kim Kochman has been great for our family.  Rudy is a chocolate and has white tips all along his back and tail.  He is very handsome.  By far he is the smartest dog we have ever owned.  He was house trained quickly and is very obedient.  He loves our Labrador and she is growing to love him.  Our Labradoodle is so sweet and adapts to new people and situations beautifully.  He is very playful and lives to please.  We love him and can't imagine life without him.

Hi Kim,

Well Piper has turned out to be a peppy little dog, I think he finally understands to go downstairs and out to potty! He is adorable & weighs about 22 lbs (from 7) now. We get stopped often on walks because he struts - but he is really only interested in playing with the dogs we meet - he has gotten growled at for being too forward, but doesn't seem to deter him. He is in Puppy Kindergarten; another labradoodle pup there, but looks just like a lab only and he sheds. Bought from a "breeder" but not multi-generational, I would guess. Was a good traveler on a week long car trip to visit family and had a ball, since every house we visited had a dog(s). One day, my also visiting sister who has Alzheimer's "went for a walk", taking 3 dogs including Piper, leashless. Left the property of several acres and after an hour. was found 3 miles away on private property. The owner's irate complaint call to the Sheriff, thankfully, gave us the location as to her whereabouts and she was found and gratefully, so was Piper! My brother was amazed that Piper was unleashed and still with them! He had his adventure - never having walked that far, ever!

Thanks, Mae
