Subject: Update regarding Herbie
Marcia,
I know it has been several months since I have given you an update about Herbie and I am sorry. Herbie is doing wonderfully and is the best dog in the world. He is loved and spoiled -- and he loves every minute of it. I could not ask for a better dog and I am so thankful that you allowed me to adopt him. He is perfect.
I have attached a few photos of herbie at the beach. Also, I got him neutered this past thanksgiving. He took the surgery in stride and is the same old loveable herbie mann.

I don't know if you remember me, but we got our Oliver from you about 5 yrs. ago. His mother was Katie and his father was Cody.
Oliver is an amazing boy and has given us such pleasure and I've often thought of you because, you said to me that he would be the smartest dog I ever had and you were so right! But, he is that and so much more.
Just thought I'd send a Christmas note to you and once again Thank You for Oliver!

I am sooooo proud of her! We might be having our graduation cermeony somewhere in Orlando in December. I will let you know when the date is set. Of course, we would love for you to come, if possible. Stella is a VERY talented and wonderful doodle. I can't thank you enough for your generousity throughout the past two years.

Eileen write from the Villages about Blondie 10/31/11
Hi Marcia,
I just thought I would send you a note to let you know how GREAT Blondie (AKA Peanut?) is. She weighs around 14 lbs so far.. She is soooo well behaved and she is such a happy dog. Her tail wags most of the time! She has been housebroken for months and she can sit, stay, come when called and she will wait to take a biscuit we put on the floor until we say OK. She also LOVES ALL her toys. She plays with them all day and loves to play fetch with a tennis ball. She makes us smile and laugh alot!!! I have owned four dogs and she is the smartest and most well behaved dog I have ever had. I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful companion!

He bought a Beautil Parti Doodle he Named Samson
Hi there,
Day 2 with my puppy- he is the most excellent puppy in the world! People can't stop talking about how smart he is. I already have him sitting on command and am now working on "gimme your paw". Samson goes to the bathroom outside and seems to know what to do when it comes to that. Best part, he is a total lover! All he seems to want to do is please. He was amazing with my friend who has autism and cerebral palsy as the two of them were drawn together immediately. It took me more than 30 minutes to convince my friend that a). Samson lives with me and b). I'll bring him back often.
Okay, so Samson is a wonderful companion and I highly recommend Marcia's pups to you. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Subject: casey
just bringing you up-to-date on casey--without a doubt, he is, continues to be, the best, most lovable dog i have ever owned! he loves
everyone, everything and just seems to thrive on love and attention. he has never had a problem with our golden retriever (who is quite
old now) and enjoys playing with him.
just yesterday our church had the "blessing of the animals" and casey was just such an outstanding dog. everyone made such a fuss
over him (which he really enjoyed), and the only growl out of him was at the orange county sheriff's dog who totally ignored him.
our vet is delighted with casey and needless to say, so am i as well as my entire family. he is such a very
special dog!! hope you and all your pets are doing well. thanks again for my very special dog/friend. marge bernstine

Marcia,
Here is Rudy my office with him curled up in a client chair!! He has made a big hit with my clients and others that come into my office as he is so calm, gentle and absolutely loving of everyone! He has taken little kids with tears and helped them to smile and truly is exactly the dog I needed and wanted. Marcia, to say that I am in love with Rudy is an understatement. He goes everywhere with me and we are truly bonded. He is so beautiful and well mannered with a delightful demeanor and personality. I credit you with that. He is also exceptionally smart and is learning new tricks daily.
Marcia I am immensely happy with Rudy. Thank you again for allowing me to become his new home. He and I are taking very good care of each other.

Temma write in about her Two Doodles
from Bay Lake 3 yrs apart and loving
life together;
Hi Marcia,
Just wanted to let you know that Taffy was spayed on April 25th.
She's doing great. She's very funny and very smart. House breaking was fairly easy. I showed her once how to ring bells when she has to go out and she got it the firsttime. Blew my mind! She can entertain herself with toys for hours. Taffy loves to chase the German Shepherds and play fight with the Golden Retriever at the dog park. They must know she's young because they never hurt her. Sometimes Taffy drives Doodle nuts just like any little sister. He's very protective of her.
Richard and I are able to go out together again as Doodle has Taffy to keep him company so he's not alone and afraid.
Richard finished his chemo in February is doing great! The dogs helped him get through the treatment. We have you to thank for that.
Take good care.

Marcia,
It was such a pleasure to meet you and all of your four legged children! The
decision to pick one of those great puppies was so hard because all of you kids are so great! Maggie was an angel on the way home as she slept in my arms and then wanted to explore. She didn't get car sick or anything. I can't thank you enough for all that you did for me to get to meet those wonderful puppies. The two young men that you have helping you were so kind to see that I could get in
and out of your house (and you were very kind to me as well).
We couldn't have made a bad decision and I just want to say thank you for the
wonderful work you are doing in bringing so much joy to so many people.

Pam write 3/28/11 :
Just wanted to let you know how wonderful Rufus is and how happy we are with him. He has the most wonderful personality and is just as sweet as he can be. He is in puppy classes right now, 3 down, 3 to go and has already learned to walk beside us on his lead, sit, shake hands and we are still working on stay. He was potty trained within the first month and is the social butterfly of the neighborhood – loved by all the dogs (Molly, Knox, Max, Mika, Simon, Spot, Esme, Ginger) and their humans.
He has finished all of his shots and will be neutered sometime between May and June.
This is his first Portrait and I think they really got a couple of cute ones. The photographer wanted to try and get one of him laying down too, but he just wouldn’t stay down for 2 seconds so we had to go with the sitting which he is really good at already.
I hope you like these and I will try to send some more candid shots when we get them.
Thanks again for raising such wonderful puppies!

From Charles about his Doodles
Subject: FW: Baylake Doodles-references
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 14:58:47 -0400
hello cynthia,
my name is charles , My wife and I have had many pets (family members )over the years and in 2006 we lost our last pet named rachel. our hearts were broken over that and it took 3 years for us to get over that. In february of 2010 we purchase two wonderful parti labradoodles from marcia. It's kind of funny how we came to marcia who lives in our home town (20 miles away ). First we looked for several months for a pet that would have a better chance to live longer than the normal 10-12 years. we looked all over the U.S. for dogs of every type, via the inter net. we then settled on a labradoodle from everything we had read as to temperment,health and long life. We then talked to our vet who is a close personal friend (next door neighbor )and got his opinion on the labradoodles. He said that the labradoodles ( hybrids ) just don't seem to have the medical problems that most blue blooded dogs do. that pretty much made up our minds as to the labradoodles. our last girl rachel had cancer at ten and we did chemo and a lot more to keep her alive 3 more years.
My wife and I spent about 2 weeks looking for labradoodles all over the U.S. we then came to marcias webb site and called her. when she called back we talked for about 30 minutes before we found out that she was only 20 miles away. when you talk to marcia she has a way of letting you know she has been doing this for a long time and she made us feel comfortable with her. We had talked to a lot of people and we were lucky to find her just 20 miles away. she sends us emails and we have sent her up dates on our pups. she always returns emails and phone calls.
I will send you some of the emails we have sent her and then you can tell if we are happy with her.
she has made our experience with a breeder a good one!!!
I hope this helps you with your decision making.
Our 2 pups are now 7 months old and we have had no problems. And we love them to death. people stop us every where we go and ask us what kind of dogs we have.
good luck,
charles

I searched for a Mini Labradoodles and
talked to Marcia several times and talked to several others breeders all
over, there was something that kept drawing me back to her and her knowledge of dogs, and I went to visit her and was so impressed with the way she raised her Doodles, they do not live in crates they live in her large home and have lots of free space. I could not believe how quiet obedient
they where around her, I was sold
she is the great and now our pup is 5 mo old and the best I could have asked for, good breedingvery healthy my vet is now getting one from Marcia

I first visited Baylake after about a month of looking for a good
breeder in Florida. I sent Marcia a mail and spoke to her via phone a
couple of days later. It wasn't long after that that I visited her
and her dogs.
I am still impressed with Marcia's welcoming presence from when I
visited. I went up last weekend for a third visit (the second with my
labradoodle pup) and stayed roughly three hours. Her dogs are all
well-mannered and loving, almost to the point where I would want to
take more than just one. I had a chance to meet the parents of my
pup, and visit with almost all of her other dogs and pups; while I'm
buying a labradoodle, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up any of the others
as they were all great dogs.
She's in Orlando and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. You should definitely visit even if you have already made your mind up to
buy from her, as it is a great experience for any dog lover.
If you need to know more please don't hesitate to ask.

We have a golden doodle and a labradoodle, Moose and Joey. I was a cat person. I am so in love with these dogs! My husband just keeps saying he can't believe what "cool" dogs they are because they are so great, and he has had dogs his entire life. Calm but playful, smart but sweet, eager to please but not fearful or skittish. They get along with each other, with other dogs, with children, with other people. Great swimmers.
Our vet has a golden doodle - loves the breed and he is no pushover. When we take our dogs to the vet, they tell me that my dogs are hands-down some of the best looking and sweetest doodles that they see. Marcia knows what she is doing and it shows.

Linsay writes about Percy
Hello all,
I am the Mommy of Percy, a wonderful and loving 1st generation Labradoodle. He is chocolate colored and just turned 1 year in March. He is so tenderhearted, playful and happy. He loves to walk/run but his favorite thing in the whole world is going swimming. We take him everywhere we go. We just had our first baby in December and he quickly adjusted to her joining our family. He is so sweet/gentle with her and we can see that he really loves her.Marcia has been wonderful to us. We have referred several people to her and we plan to get another BayLake doodle in the near future. Our next door neighbors also have one of Marcia's pups (as do my in-laws) and Percy plays with both of them often. He does great at dog parks with other dogs, and let's kids pet him when we are out and about.
I can't say enough about Marcia. She has always been available to us whenever we've had questions. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions...I'm happy to help. I attached a picture of Percy!!

Bay Lake Doodles are nothing short of spectacular. Marcia is a pleasure to work with. I was looking for a dog to become my service dog. Marcia let the trainers come to her home to evaluate her pups. She was very accommodating and allowed the trainers to evaluate first an entire litter, and then a particular pup (a total of 3 times). It required extra work for Marcia, and she really went out of her way to help me out with selecting the perfect pup.
The dog that was chosen for me was a 3rd generation labradoodle with a fleecy coat. Please see the attachment for a picture of my service dog in training. Having seen Marcia's home and dogs, I would not hesitate to get another doodle from her. I know the price initially seems like a lot, but knowing how much effort Marcia puts into having exceptional pups and seeing the results with my pup, I feel that it is a small price to pay for a fabulous doodle.
For me, the pup's temperament was the most important quality in a dog that I would get. Stella has proved to be nothing short of exceptional in every way.
I can't say enough about Marcia and Bay Lake Doodles. I am have been so pleased with the entire experience of getting a pup through Marcia.
I would advise you to go and see the dogs or pups you are interested in. I don't think pictures can do Marcia's dogs justice. You have to see them for yourself!
Please feel free to ask me any questions, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. You can e-mail me at Brooke14@comcast.net.
Good luck finding your perfect doodle!
Sincerely,
Brooke

Dear Marcia,
What can I say except to say the Sophie is a delight. Not to brag, but she is smart, alert,not nervous and is very loving. What else could one ask for in a new puppy. In both airports, Ft. Lauderdale and Dallas people turned their heads as we went by. One lady asked me is she was a therapy dog. She followed us thought the airports and traveled like and experienced travel-fell asleep on the flight. She was not car or air sick.
She has settled down nicely to her new surroundings and people. On Sunday we had a family dinner with the girls and their dogs, Baxter-( Golden retriever and Beeper -Japanese Chin. She had a great time.
Of course, everyone fell in love with her and could not believe how social and smart she is.Having waited to get a dog, she is more than I expected. I could not be more pleased. It is all in the great handling and great breeding. I cannot thank you enough for how wonderfully you handle all the dogs and pups. Without that good start, I do not think they would be so social and relaxed with people and other dogs. I will do everything to keep that up.
Sophie is starting basic puppy training on Saturday Feb 27 for an hour. I met with the trainer and he thought she was very well adjusted for such a young pup. She knew her name the first day and sat on command the second day. I handle her a lot- all over her body including ears and mouth etc. She is very relaxed and gentle. As I am sending you the e-mail she is asleep at my feet. She is my pretty little shadow.
We have a routine- She is now sleeping through the night- has a morning nap and afternoon nap is her crate. I have to tell you this. Last night at 8:20 P.M. she galloped down the hallway to our bedroom where her crate is. There was no stopping her. She flew right into her crate. She was telling me -I AM READY FOR BED! I could not stop laughing. She is too smart.
That is all for now and I will keep you in touch with her progress. She is a beauty and we all could not enjoy her more. I have sent you a slide show with a few pictures of our pick up and with our youngest daughter Vivian meeting Sophie for the first time on Jan. 28,2110.
The weather has been rainy on and off. Edwin has not forgotten what he promised to send you. I am sure you will have it by the weekend. It was so nice seeing you again and best to all of you at Bay Lake Doodles.

Vet Ref
Marcia has been a very experienced dog breeder and Owner for many years, she cares for her pups in the house and has their best interest at hand. All of the Dams have a private room and facility to have their babies in her house, not outside. This is very important step in making sure that the pups are well socialized and given lots of attention daily. There is nothing Marcia would not do to make sure all medical and social skills where administered during this time. I have not seen one person that did not admire her dogs and love being in her home to greet them. If you are looking for healthy Dams and Sires she has them and she will spare no expense in buying the best pedigree and testing them for sound healthy parents and taking care of them. Marcia's dogs can be found thru out the US and overseas in Germany too. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog. I have helped her and worked with her for years

Hi Marcia,
We took Oliver to the Vet on Friday. He thought he was just beautiful and had never
seen his color before. He was very impressed with him and said how healthy he was
and that he was in good shape. Got his next set of shots and he was feeling crappy
for most of the afternoon but by night he was a fireball again. We've been using this
Vet for about 18 yrs now and really like him. Oliver is 17.5 lbs.-getting big!
We start 'Puppy Classes' on the 26th and are taking him to a free training seminar
tonight just so he can see other dogs and people.
Just wanted to keep you posted, I'll send some pictures in the next few weeks when
I get this thing to work, though I guess you have his brother there and it's just like a
picture. I heard he's a little pistol too.
take care,
Jean

Hi,
Barb here. I live in Highland Village about 20 miles north of Dallas. My doodle, Lady Godiva turned 2 this summer and I absolutely love her. I thought you might be interested to see a "baby" picture of her and a more recent one. It is hard to imagine how the color and fur can change so I thought that might interest you. Godiva has a choc lab mom and apricot father (Cody). Marcia kept telling me her coat would lighten but it didn't seem possible! Not only does she have the blonde/ apricot highlights she also has beautiful silver colors. You can see that if you look close in the picture w/ the bunnies we rescued.
I can't say enough good things about Marcia and her dogs/ puppies. I owned Great Danes for years and was very concerned about changing breeds. I had a bazillion questions that Marcia patiently answered for months before I decided to buy a pup from her. After bringing Godiva home I still had questions and Marcia was always there to answer. I have been in her home and seen how the dogs and pups live and you could not ask for a better environment. They are all socialize and loved. Godiva never once had an accident in the house because she learned to use a doggie door at Marcia's watching the big dogs. She knew how to use my dog door immediately. She is extremely smart and loving.
If I can answer any questions please don't hesitate to email me. I have dozens and dozens of pics and would be glad to send more if you are interested. If you are half as happy as I am with my doodle you will be thrilled!
Kind regards,
Barb

Hi Marcia! We send you greatings from Magnolia, TX, home of two of your wonderful Labradoodles.
Penny is such a wonderful little girl. Everyone who has any contact with her, from her groomer, to her vet, to the people working at PetSmart - they all want to take her home with them. What a charmer she is.
She and Gypsy are my "Wild Women"...they have so much fun playing together.
For your records, Penny was spayed and micro-chipped today. She was a good girl for the vet and even seems perky right now. How can anyone resist those beautiful brown eyes!
Thank you again for being such a wonderful breeder and caring for your "furry family" the way you do.

Hi, Marcia---Katie passed the therapy dog test on Saturday! I think
she'll be working with me at the psychiatric hospital (which is also
where my office is located). Just have to get in all the paperwork. The
only area where she didn't pass was walking by the toys and leaving
them alone.
Hope all is well at your house. I see from the photos on your website
that you were able to part with Mango. Bet that was hard!

Message from the Hevners on their Doodle Experience
Hi Marcia,
Just a note to thank you so very much for the extraordinary amount of time and patience you gave to our family, last weekend, as we made the painstaking decision, regarding which, of all of those adorable puppies, to take home. You are just so exceptionally warm and genuinely friendly. My family and I agreed that we have never met anyone more suited to their profession than you. What a wonderful safe and secure haven you have created in which to raise all of your “babies.” We were just so completely impressed with all of it. We also really appreciated all of the help you were so ready and willing to give to us when we initially thought we might like to keep our puppy with you until the end of the school year. (We are glad we came to our senses and brought him home, now, and did not wait. Thanks for being so flexible in that regard too.) It doesn’t end there, you also graciously invited us back for our puppy’s second round of shots, you gave us food for him, even medicine for him, toys and blankets for him and went so far as to temporarily lend us a baby protective gate. Your generosity is just astounding! All of us absolutely loved getting to know you and hope that from time to time we can continue to stay in touch with you. Needless to say, we have fallen madly in love with our puppy. He is so loving, so sweet, and thoroughly enjoys human interaction. Honestly, he is everything, and more, than anything we could have ever hoped for in a puppy. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you, it has been a wonderful experience to work with you. We feel very fortunate to have found you and want to assure you that we will enthusiastically refer any friends to you should they be in the market for a Doodle. Rest assured that we are and will continue to be your greatest fans forever more.
P.S. I would love to tell you our puppy’s name but we have not yet agreed on one. I will tell you the list of names we are considering. Fletcher, “Fletch” for short, Ozzie, because Dave thinks his hair looks like that of Ozzie Osborne, Oliver, “Ollie” for short, or Brooks. Will keep you posted when a final decision has been reached. One more thing, the diarrhea is all but gone. We took your advice and, just as we figured, it worked! Thanks again! You are definitely an angel in disguise.
Fondly,
The Hevner’s

WONDERFUL NOTE FROM MARDI ABOUT HER OLIVER DOODLE
Hi Marcia,
Oliver is incredibe. He knows all of his toys by name and will bring them or put them back in his bucket if asked. He also brings a cloth after each meal to have his face wipped. Then, when he puts it back 'on the chair' he gets a cookie. He likes to tease me by tossing the cloth on the floor, but there are no cookies til it goes to it's right spot. I can teach him almost any new task in under an hour. I just show him what I want him to do and he picks it up right away. He's almost scarry, he's so smart.
Just wanted to mention that Kyra, our rescue dog, is with us due to a very serious heart condition. Miracles do happen but she is not expected to live more than a year or so. I mention this because we will want another dog as a companion for Olie later on. If you ever have an ADULT doodle that needs a loving home, at least get in touch with us. Depending on the situation, it might be the right time.
love to you and all your doodles,
mardi

Marcia, thanks so much for the beautiful Easter wish! Also, thank you for working with my friend Lori Van Meter. She is a very kind person, and she met Opie and loved her! Opie has that affect on everyone. I am trying to restrain from getting another puppy from you, another little bitty one, until I can afford to spend the money!
I just have to tell you that Opie is such a Godsend. I have had a tough time in many ways, and she is all sweetness and light. She probably gets sick of me picking her up and kissing her and cooing to her, but I can't resist. I bring her everywhere, and she's so good. If she has to stay in the car, she just goes to her little space and sleeps. She'd rather do that than stay home. I love her so much, Marcia. Thank you for giving her to me.
Happy Easter to you and your loved ones. You are a wonderful woman!

Hi Rachel,
We brought Bodie home in August and absolutely love him. He is not only too cute for words, he is also the sweetest and most loving dog we have ever had. He loves to play but at the same time seems to instinctively know that my 95 year old mother requires that he be exceptionally gentle with her. It is truly amazing to watch.
Marcia, he is everything you said he would be and more besides.

Hi Marcia - just wanted to let you know that Lira is doing soooo good - she is sooo sweet and very adaptive to the environment here of it being just her and I. She already knows when I have to type for an hour or two at a time and doesn't bother me at all. She had her first vet visit and did great - she has met the next door neighbor dogs and is fine with them. We play and exercise in the yard and go for little walks as well - I don't know what you did but whatever it was is great since she doesn't mind the crate at all and has already gone to the door to let me know she has to go out into yard to do her business.
I know it's only been a week but she is great and for the afternoon quick nap she and I snuggle on the couch together. She doesn't have full run of house just yet but has plenty of room in kitchen and yard etc. When Mike was home and we were eating, she went into her crate on her own and fell asleep! Mike and I just laughed and said "thanks marcia".
This will turn out to be one of my better Christmas's and I thank you so much for allowing that to happen. I wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy New Year.
I will send some pics soon -
Thanks again -
Debbie Smulcheski
