Billabong Creek Farm has a peerless reputation for quality pups. Some of their dogs now work with Police as companion animals. Others are in TV commercials.

Hi I'm writing on behalf of Tobi and Simone Skovron who purchased their Spoodles, Subii and Coopa, from you a few years back.

Tobi, Simone and the dogs thought you might appreciate an update on the pet product that Subii and Coopa inspired: The Pet Loo - they have mentioned you in their latest online blog:
These jet-setting pooches have moved over to LA, and have been featured in magazines, newspapers and television, both here in Australia and in the US - one of these television programs aired in the US recently:

Hi Larry & Liz,

Since Teddy's arrival we have been so busy. 
We are absolutely in love with Teddy.  I could not have wished for a more
perfect dog.  He had big shoes to fill after the death of Scruff and Maggi
(especially Scruff due to his police work) and he has certainly done that and
more!

We have done so much in a short period of time:
-handed over a $5000 cheque to the Childrens Wards at the local hospitals
-many visits to school, daily sports class, went to watch the kids today
-visits to Eliza Purton Home for The Aged (almost every weekend)
-now an official police doggie - Commissioner gazetted him as our Public
Relations Dog....media release real soon.  He has access to all police
buildings, vehicles and the academy. -loves his pram and bike trailer
-loves canoeing
-rides the scooter with me
-loves going water skiing & falls asleep in the speed boat
-doesn't mind a swim but gets cold quickly
-had our first puppy class lastnight.  Star of the show.  Teddy can sit, stay,
watch (eye contact), lay down

Everyone who meets Teddy loves him.

Lisa and Family now own a Black Spoodle Billabong baby

Hi there, my family and I are interested in a spoodle. We have just met a cockerpoo from the USA whose life we saved in the tsunami in Samoa. Her name is Ruby. She survived because of her temperament and love of people. She wrapped herself around my husbands neck as we were submerged in the wave. We have decided as a family and because of the healing effects this little dog has had on so many people around us who have been through tragedy that there is no other dog to have.  We think this will be the best tonic for our family. I will ring you when we return to Australia, but if you have a puppy with that beautiful nature that fits our wish list we would love to have her. Many thanks Lisa

Thanks Liz and Larry, I suppose we still pinch ourselves and think how lucky we are. We are apparently all over the news in our home town and the Channel 7 news team have been here interviewing us, which we find a little surreal... the people here are lovely and I feel for them as they try to build there homes and town. The human loss is the worse and friends here lost their lives... but we are just so thankful to have each other still. I will send you a link with our interviews if you are interested. We sent our son home and we are sorting out our boat with the insurance company. We have been sailing on our sailboat from the USA and were heading back to Australia. Our boat is no longer able to be sailed as she has been badly damaged. 

THIS IS BILLY THE THERAPY DOG FOR YOUTH WHICH WAS DONATED BY US TO BE USED TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE IN OVERCOMING PROBLEMS THEY EXPERIENCE ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS AND REQUIRE COUNSELLING. HE ALSO GOES TO MEET YOUTH IN DETENTION CENTRES AND HELPS BY JUST BEING THERE FOR A BIT OF NON-JUDGEMENTAL COMPANIONSHIP.

WE WERE HONORED TO BE ABLE TO DONATE A DOG FROM BILLABONG CREEK FARM WHICH HELPS OUR YOUNG AUSTRALIANS GET BACK ON TRACK WITH THEIR LIVES. WE WISH THE MANNINGHAM Y.M.C.A ALL THE VERY BEST WITH "BILLY" (named after Billabong Creek Farm), AND ARE SURE HE WILL BE A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTOR..

Hi there,

Here are some pics of Billy!! I will get you some pictures of him with young people shortly and get them too you!

Billy is a truly amazing dog who has brought so much to not only the young people but the entire Youth Services Team. He is a hit with all the staff's children and his nature lends beautifully to assisting our Youth Counsellor with her clients as well as accompanying staff to local high schools, in particular, two local special needs schools. He is the highlight of many young peoples day, especially those young people with disabilities and has to be one of the most loved and best treated dogs on this planet!

He is happy enough to have 'sleep overs' with each of the team members and is quite at home anywhere he goes. He has rarely spent a moment alone since Fiona picked him up at the tender age of 8 weeks and was in the office from the very next day. The short amount of time he has on his own is not necessarily a good thing, as he tends to get his nose out of joint if he is not able to come somewhere or if there is no one to stay with him in the office!

The love and happiness he has given is honestly contagious and we are ever so grateful for your support of the Youth Services. Billy will also be featuring in next weeks local paper for a story on the increased demand of youth counselling so I will also ensure a copy of this article reaches you.

Thank-you sincerely again,


Kind Regards,
Heidi Buhner
