Hi Liz & Larry,

We bought Pepper from you back in February 2011 and she has been the most wonderful addition to our family.  She was from Viola's first litter and Sammy is her dad.  We couldn't have wished for a better temperament in a dog, she is affectionate, cheeky and intelligent and altogether irresistible.  She's a very independent little pup, equally happy to spend time on her own or time with the family.  She is a fantastic friend for our kids who just adore her.  People are always commenting on how lovely she is with her unique colouring.  After a lot of research before picking a puppy, we are so pleased to have found Billabong Creek Farm and would recommend them to anyone.  We have attached a couple of recent photos of Pepper at 9 months old.
All the best.
Kind regards   Jo & John
 

Hi Larry & Liz

Just wanted to send you some photos to put in your website gallery of our
VERY much loved 5th member of our family "Abbey".  It took us 20 years to
finally make a decision to get a dog and after 4-1/2 years of Abbey joining
our family we cannot imagine life without her and wonder why we waited so
long.  As you can see in these photos our girls love dressing Abbey up and
she just goes with the flow.  Abbey's mum and dad were Alfred the golden
poodle and Tara the black cocker spaniel and I do remember Larry saying that
any dog from Tara or her sister Ginny always had placid personalities and
Abbey is testament to that, she is scared of the vacuum cleaner, the motor
mower, the hose but not scared of thunderstorms.  She loves cuddling up on
the couch next to you while you watch a movie and follows you where ever you
go in the house, just wanting to be with you.  She loves going for runs
along the creek even without a lead but is the most obedient dog so will
come immediately when you call her.  Her favourite things are retrieving
balls and going for walks, both which we can only spell out as she gets very
excited when you mention these two words.  We love the way she tilts her
head from side to side when you talk to her, it's like she is really
listening to you.  When I go out she sits at the front window in her sphinx
position until I return home.  I love that 4-1/2 years down the track she is
still treated by all members of our family like the first day she came home
as a cute little puppy.  Every time we go away on holidays my folks look
after Abbey for us like she is their grandchild, and when they are
unavailable we have had different friends have her and by the end of the
holiday they don't want to give her back, as everyone who meets Abbey falls
in love with her.  Thanks Larry and Liz for giving us the most beautiful dog
who we absolutely love to bits.

Dear Liz, Larry and Jo,

We promised to send photos of Winnie (Rae and Sammy's black and tan pup)
when she had grown up.  Well, here she is, 10 months old!  She has been an
absolute delight.  Not only is she gorgeous looking (she always gets
comments about those eyebrows) but she has a lovely nature - she loves
people and other dogs.  She is very playful and loves to play with her toys
and she can be so funny to watch.  She also loves walks and going to the dog
park.  We started training early and went to puppy school and have
progressed to dog obedience classes where she is now in Advanced.  She has
been a very quick learner and eager to please (as well as very food
motivated!).  And what a fantastic car traveller!!  She settles down and
goes to sleep, every time.  We are so glad we decided to bring Winnie into
the family and we can't thank you enough for the obvious care and attention
you pay to breeding lovely dogs.

Kind regards
Ruth and Andrew

Hi Liz and Larry 

I just wanted to thank you, as have so many other people, for the beautiful dogs you breed.  I was very lucky to get Heidi – dark golden female Spoodle from you last year.  She was born on the 25^th of January 2010 – mother being Ginny and Father Sammy.  Liz you told me when she was five days old and we came to see her, that she was a lovely puppy and her coat was beautiful, which it is.  From the time Mum and I picked her up from you in March to this present day – we have had nothing but absolute joy from her.  Reading other people’s testimonials , we all say the same thing.  Heidi is a gentle, pretty, intelligent, fun, cheeky little girl.  She loves other dogs, cats, people, and her toys!!  There is not a mean bone in her body.  I love her cheekiness which I think she gets from her father and her gentle face very much like her mother’s.  When you give her a pat, cupping your hands over her nose, her eyes, to her ears, she just loves it and gives you this beautiful look (exactly like Ginny does Liz when you would pat her!).  She is easy to train.  She loves the car and the beach.  She is very well socialized and has lots of friends at the local park.  I cannot tell you how many people have stopped me since having Heidi to ask all about her and where she came from.  So there have certainly been a lot of people Liz and Larry who have come via Heidi’s help!!!  Not that you need it mind you!  Once again,  thank you Liz and Larry for our beautiful dog.  She is a very important part of our lives and is a lovely company.

Larry and Liz, 

Our “Billy” was one of those special animals that only come along every now and then. Her happy face and wagging tail greeted us every morning, Everyone who came to our house, loved her, even people who weren’t dog lovers, ended up loving her. In fact she was responsible for at least 4 of our friends getting spoodles, although none of them came close to her. It is a credit to you, Larry and Liz, for your excellent breeding, and loving nature these dogs have. We only got her, because a friend of mines brother had bought Billy’s half sister from you, and I immediately fell for her. While my wife wanted a smaller type dog, when Billy turned up six years ago, as an eight week old pup, she had no idea what size she would grow up to, but she was the perfect size .     It was perhaps her eyes that made her human to us. She was a delight to have been one of our family, sadly she passed away this February, from eating the seeds of a Cycad. They are extremely poisonous, so please be very care full to keep your dogs away from them.  We loved her very much and she is sadly missed.

All the best to you, Kind regards Mark, Elena, Olly and Gabriel.        Breeders note: do you have this in your garden if you do and you have an animal you should remove this plant, check this link for plant description.

 Dear Liz and Larry
 
This email is looooong overdue. Our little girl, Paddington is 1 year and 2 months old now, which means we have been wanting to send you thanks for the best 'gift' we have ever had in the world for over a year now. We also wanted to send you some photos so you could see what a gorgeous Spoodle she has grown into (you still have a picture of her on your puppy gallery, although you may not recognise her now!) - people stop us everyday to ask about her and we think she is the most beautiful puppy. We have actually been lucky enough to meet 2 other Billabong Creek Farm spoodles in our area and they are undoubtedly the prettiest and happiest spoodles.
 
Paddi has a wonderful bubbly, energetic and confident personality and it is not possible to fully describe how much light, fun and smiles she has brought to us. She has truly made a house a home and we could not imagine being without her. Thank you for making it possible to have this bundle of joy in our lives!!
 
Warm regards

Dear Liz and Larry,

Our beautiful Tarli has just celebrated her first birthday.  She occupies such a big place in our hearts and lives that I cannot imagine life without her.   She is spoilt rotten living here on a farm and holidaying with us at our beach cottage.  She loves ball games on the beach in the summer and in the winter loves to get under the doona on our bed.  Tarli has her own toys and plays games with them constantly yet she has never destroyed anything.  Tarli to us is the perfect companion – loving, cuddly, loyal, obedient and fun.   She travels well (thanks to your initial advice) and is happy and contented.  Thank you both so much for our little “bundle of joy”, who looks just like her mother Tilly.

Many thanks,  Judi & Phil Thomson,  Canberra.

Dear Larry and Liz,

Hi Liz and Larry,

Just wanted to give you an update on Desmo, our spoodle, who we picked up in May. Desmo was born in March in Buffy's litter. He is now a big boy, 
12kg and happy ever since we picked him up. He is a lovely dog, hasn't 
stoped waging his tail since we first saw him. Enjoys being around us and 
absolutely hates to be alone. He likes to sleep outside in his kennel as 
it gets a bit too warm in the house for him. Desmo is going to have his 
first haircut on Tuesday.

We go for big walks and runs in the park almost every day and keep 
meeting other dogs, and there are a lot of spoodles around in our estate 
too. People just love them for their wonderful nature.
 

Best regards,
Renata
 

Hi Liz and Larry
We wanted to thank you for our puppy Kespa (Winter's litter born 3/9/08). Kespa is a delightful puppy who falls in love with just about every person she meets, particularly kids. She is showing all of the traits that attracted us to spoodles originally - she is easy to train, loves people, loves walking, doesn't shed any hair and has a very good nature. Kespa also has an incredible self cleaning coat - we will see her in the morning with legs covered in dirt (after 'gardening') and then an hour later the dirt will have fallen off and her legs will be completely clean again.
Thanks again for our beautiful puppy.

Hi Liz and Larry,

My sisters bought me a puppy from you for a birthday present back in march this year and I though I would send few photos to show you what ashleigh is like now. She is absolutely beautiful , and very clever, just the other day when she knew that it was time for her to go outside for the day she hid under a bed right at the very back and it took us over twenty minutes to find her. She is very friendly and loves cuddles.
Thank you so much

Sincerely

Jenny

Ashleys mum and dad are "Cottontail and Phillip."

Hi Liz, we got Fizz from you about three and a bit years ago, he has been responsible for a number of our friends getting spoodles as well.
He is a real joy, makes us laugh and the girls (Lee & Jenna) get lots and lots of cuddles from him.
He has grown up with Amos (cream Burmese) and they wrestle and chase each other all the time before finally settling down together for a nap.
When we has them both desexed the Vet put them both in the recovery cage together as they are so close and miss each other at times.

Please find attached some photos.

Cheers.

John

Tazz a Spoodle, we think that the black and white colour suits him we also have lemon and white and white which we think is just devine.
You can see the change in the coat as tazz has grown

Hello Liz & Larry,
I think it is hight time I let you two know how thrilled we are with our little girl we received from you last year, I know I put you through the ropes, with all my insecurities and just want to let you know she is a wonderful part of our lives. We also have a Springer spaniel and they are the very best of friends. I cannot thank you enough. I hope this also finds you both well.
Kind Regards

We have recently stayed with Max & Annie in Strahan and had a great time.

These photos were sent to us from the Newton family of "Tibby". Tibby is from Mopsy and Phillip here at Billabong Farm. She has a lovely soft coat and very pretty face dont you think. We are pleased that the Newtons will add another addition to their Spoodle family shortly with another pup from us so Tibby will have a playmate...

Jester belongs to the Archibold family from Canberra. She does tricks and of course, can pose for the camera too. Her beautiful temperament makes her a delight to have.

This is Bertie.

Can you see the Cocker Spaniel and Poodle in Bertie. He can do tricks and is a wonder dog
