Biba
Hi James,
Thought it was about time I updated you on Biba's progress now she is nearly approaching 5 mths!
We have just finished a 6 week puppy training course, of which she was naturally a Star! everyone adored her..... She has fitted into the Lewis household very successfully, even tho poor Dudley still seems a little fed up with a boisterous puppy wanting to play with him all the time. However, having said that he is extremely tolerant with her and I know they will be great friends....
I'm also pleased to say she has no problem travelling in the car and managed a 5hr journey down to visit my friend in Cornwall. She loved the sea-side. There's no stopping her and she appears totally fearless of anything, quiet a fiesty little pup. We love her loads!!
I have to say if I received a pound everytime I was stopped and asked where did I find such a beautiful puppy I would be a millionairess by now! You'll be pleased to know I always tell them where I found her so you may be inundated with phone calls!
Hope all went well with your last litter. I have attached (hopefully) some photos of Biba, just so you know we haven 't sold her on... Ha Ha only joking!

Dolly
Hello James,
As you will see, Dolly is exploring, playing and generally doing a lot of finding out!
She had just come in from digging holes in the garden, after playing with me, (I turned my back for a minute,!) then I stopped the digging antics, brought her in for her rest time, and I couldn't work out why the floor was so wet, and muddy ... even though I'd washed and dried her muzzle and feet....puddles here and there, her new puppy pad was drenched.....
Now I see why!
Dolly is totally gorgeous, great fun and company, despite being a mud lark, (she often smells of mud, and brought me a mouthful last week, definitely her best thing...), is learning well, behaving really well at puppy class and at home, and is melting every heart for miles. I am a very popular person to visit!
Our younger cat is even more fond of her, and follows her, often sitting on high, so she doesnt get licked excessively, watching her. The older cat ignores her.
We love her to bits!
I will send more news before too long,
Best wishes,
-Sue Howes

Peggy
Hi James,
I took your advice and just went for it....she is brilliant at recall (a lick of liver paste also helps!!) and stays really close off the lead!! It's a thrill to watch her chasing leaves and playing with other dogs. Someone stopped me today to ask how I've trained her so well....queue a glowing with pride moment! ;-)
Peggy is such a joy to be around. She's like therapy for all of us. We love her to bits.
All the best for now,
-Tracey

Charlie
"My experience with Jaruda Cockapoos & James has been amazing and more than I could have hoped for. The journey to getting my much wanted, long awaited puppy began a few years ago when I first met James. I was immediately struck by his professionalism, knowledge and touched by his obvious passion. As he talked me through the process I was absolutely amazed at all the thoughtfulness and care that James invested to ensure the best start and beginning for this new litter from conception to the day they leave for their new homes.
When I collected my puppy, Charlie he was already very well socialised, used to the coming and goings of family life, familiar with household noises, car journeys and was very confident. He settled in quickly to his new environment and was happy in his crate at night- I think such an ease of environment transition was partly down to such a good start.
Now Charlie is four months old, I am so thrilled with him and he has settled into our family life and I couldn’t imagine life without him now. I am not sure I would have actually achieved this dream without James. I was very anxious and full of apprehension James showed me kindness, gave me time, and was very encouraging, reassuring and inspired confidence. Since getting Charlie I have had occasions where I have had to contact James for advice or reassurance- he has always had time to listen and give good advice without making me feel inadequate or foolish. I will always be extremely grateful for all the help and encouragement James offered which enabled me to fulfil my dream. Even my husband who was so anti getting a dog has been won over and can now be seen most weekends walking in our local park with Charlie.
My proudest moment though was when a lady came up to me whilst walking Charlie in the park and said ‘how lucky I was as I had the perfect puppy’."

Malie
"When I asked my husband how he would describe our Jaruda experience he said "there's only one word to use and that word is AMAZING. I contacted James through breeders online to enquire about getting a new member of the family. From my first email through to the day we collected our new puppy Malie, James was fantastic. He contacted us every week to update us on mums progress and then every week once the puppies were born to tell us how they were doing. We received photos of Ruby's scan, photos of the puppies the day they were born and every week after. James made it clear from day one that he would be available for any advice and to answer any questions and he certainly was. I had suffered from anxiety previous to getting Malie and had a bad experience with a puppy. I explained all of this to James and he went out of his way to help and reassure me, which resulted in me being able to fulfil my life time dream of owning a dog. James listened to what we were looking for in a puppy and helped us choose one with, what he felt was the best personality for our family. He had sussed out Malie’s character to a tee. She has become a truly amazing part of our family and we couldn't be happier. We loved all the extra touches that James does such as getting us to name Malie after our first visit so that he could start getting her used to her name (she answered to her name the moment we got her home), getting the puppies used to noise and people, making the puppies a part of his family, keeping in contact with us during the whole process, answering questions and reassuring us, being allowed to visit from 4 weeks as often as we liked.
When the day came to collect Malie we were all so excited but also nervous. James didn't rush us and spent time talking to me about how to settle Malie etc. He handed us an amazing pack with toys, a toy with mums scent, information on insurance, vets, worming, flea treatment, all the relevant health checks and a gorgeous book which detailed Malie’s life from inside mum to coming home with us. Malie didn't murmur on the trip home and settled brilliantly. James had been feeding her raw food which he gave us a lot of and she loved it. She is such a brilliant, gorgeous, loving dog. She is fantastic with the kids and has become somewhat of an attraction in the school playground. She has slept through the night from the age of 9 weeks, from 11.00 until 7.30.9.00 or later on the weekends. She could do sit, down and high five from 9 weeks and was toilet trained from around 12 weeks. Everywhere we go people stop us to talk about her and make a fuss of her and I truly believe that although Malie is being moulded by us, she would not be the amazing dog she is without the great beginning that she had with James and his family. We met the rest of the Blazey family on one of our visits and they are a genuinely lovely family who adore their dogs. James is also true to his word regarding always being there for advice and guidance. I have contacted him on many occasions with questions which sometimes seem silly to me, but James doesn't make you feel silly he just helps you out. Once I can convince hubby that Malie would like a play mate then we would have no hesitation in going back to James."

Archie
"Finding James was a Godsend! We started looking for a Cockapoo puppy after a puppy we had chosen and arranged to collect, contracted a disease and died before we got him so we were very nervous and apprehensive about committing to another puppy. James was so kind and understanding. He put us at ease, answered our many questions and helped us all the way. His puppies are so well cared for in their loving home, they are his babies! And you can tell how socialised and confident they are from an early age. Ruby and Daisy are such lovely, sociable girls too, great role models for the puppies.
Archie has brought our family so much joy and we wouldn’t be without our healthy, mischievous puppy! When we brought Archie home, we joked that we had more info about him than our own children as James provides you with a personal puppy book, with photos and information as well as 2 guides about Cockapoo care and a bag full of goodies. We stay in touch with James, who has been at the end of the phone or email with helpful advice and encouragement, we even meet for walks which Archie loves! We are so grateful to James and his family, no puppies could get better care and we can’t recommend them enough! If you are looking for a happy, loving Cockapoo, look no further!"
