February 28, 2023
When we brought Maybelline home we didn’t realize how easily and quickly she would fit into our lifestyle. Not only is she super cute (and told multiple times a day by strangers), Maybelline is sweet, smart, affectionate, and athletic. For a 19.4 lb little girl, she has incredible stamina to go on long trail runs with my husband, and when at home, she has such relaxed calmness to chill with us in front of the TV. She loves the snow, sun, and sand. Whether we take her to the mountains, beach, or city, she’s in her comfort zone. Even trips to our favorite cafe, she politely waits in line for her “pup-cup.” Her vocabulary exceeds 50 words and phrases. Her toys have names and she knows the name of each toy. She’s so well-behaved and has the best manners. Everyone who meets her, falls in love with her. Everywhere we take her, we get stopped. People want to know her breed, name, size, color, etc… and they almost always want pictures of her. The most interesting comments we have heard were “she’s so picturesque” and “she has such a cute personality, you should put her in commercials.” She’s also great with other animals and naturally gentle with children. She’s a great dog and a much-loved member of our family. Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline! 🥰
(Her eye lashes are at least two inches long!!!)

We wanted to wish you and your family a happy New Year and let you know how much we love little Moose!
He has been a great addition to our growing family. He loves frozen bones, elk antlers, playing fetch, bath time, and puzzles. He is quick to pick up commands and knows sit, down, stay, and place. He rings a bell when he wants to go outside. We are still feeding him Small Batch raw, and he loves it. He is fiercely loyal and the world's best snuggler.
Moose is a little bit shy with other dogs but is growing more confident every day. He loves to predict what we want in advance to show us how smart he is. We love how desensitized he is to fireworks, brushing, nail trimming, vacuums, etc.-- all thanks to you!
We are expecting his (human) sister, Molly, to arrive in the next few weeks!
All the best,
Carly, Minh, Molly, and Moose

We love our dog Rooster so much, and I can't say enough great things about Wendy and the process of getting our beautiful, healthy puppy. Wendy is very organized and everything was done so timely prior to getting Rooster. We received weekly pictures, videos and even got to watch live cam for a week. Getting the notification for new pics/videos was a family (3 boys) highlight! Once we brought Rooster home it was apparent how perfect and meant to be it all was! Rooster is such a great puppy (currently 5 months) and has been a blessing to our family. He was pretty much potty trained when we brought him home and he is very easy to train and eager to please. He is so soft, cuddly and loving. In short, Rooster has brought us a lot of joy thus far and we couldn't be happier. We're very grateful to have found Wendy + Pawssiedoodles.
Thanks again Wendy!

I’d like to share a bit about our experience finding one of the biggest loves of our lives, at Pawssiedoodle. Her name is Birdee Blu. She is a beautiful, blue merle with copper points, mini aussie doodle. And she was more than worth the wait! During that time, we had several conversations, by phone and email, with Wendy regarding any questions and concerns we had about the breed, and our new little girl. Needless to say, Wendy was more than helpful. I learned so much about this breed, as well as what is best for all breeds. I knew we had made the right choice of breeders, before Birdee Blu was even born. We have a golden retriever presently, and I wanted to be sure that I had a second puppy before Georgia Grace was too much older. It’s fair to say that I’m a fanatic about our pets, and to see a breeder so dedicated to the life of the puppy, and not just selling one, made all the difference to me. Being able to see the puppies on video, as they grew and were taught new things, was amazing. And once we had named Birdee Blu, one of my most fond memories was having Wendy hold her up in the videos, and call her by name. Her teaching methods are amazing and backed by science. And the love that she and her daughter show all of the puppies is both impressive and heartwarming. They are indeed treated as “their” puppies and family members. That truly touched my heart, and it is evident that it does with those precious puppies as well. Birdee Blu is the happiest puppy I have ever seen! She loves anyone, human or animal, and has never met a stranger. She is brilliant beyond belief, and she keeps us all laughing. And she has brought more young years to her big sister, Georgia Grace. She keeps Georgia on her on her toes and won’t get too far ahead of her, before coming back to “round her up”. They make my heart smile, each and every day. I’m not sure what more to say about Wendy, and Pawssiedoodle, other than “puppy perfection”. If you’re looking for a special puppy experience, you’ll find it here. We surely did. I now consider Wendy a dear friend. And our litter of pups has a sibling page on FB where we share information, questions and pictures. And Wendy is a part of that as well. When the time comes, our next puppy will be another Pawssiedoodle pup. And I can’t wait to see what a brilliant beauty she will be!
Thank you Wendy!

We cannot praise Wendy with PawssieDoodle enough for her high-quality Australian Shephard/Poodle puppies she breeds. We have not had a dog in over 10 years and decided we were ready to have a fur baby again. After looking at several breeds we determined an AussieDoodle was the breed of dog we wanted for our family (4 grandchildren, ages 3-5). We wanted a loyal, playful and most important good/safe dog for our grandchildren. Our “Tucker” is smart, fun and energetic, which we absolutely love. He is very affectionate when meeting new people. He is excellent with the grandchildren; he does not bite them…only licks them! Almost as if he knows they are little and he needs to treat them kindly. He is also very handsome! If you are in the market for a hypoallergenic dog with a good personality, very smart and fun to be around, an AussieDoodle is your dog and the only breeder we would recommend is Wendy with PawssieDoodle. Wendy goes above and beyond in her care for these puppies. She starts potty training them at 3 weeks with paper/wood pellets. By the time we picked up Tucker he was “box” trained and we’ve not had but a couple of accidents!! Wendy does a great job of sensitivity training, so he was accustomed to all types of sounds that are heard in a home, i.e. vacuums, phones, airplanes, babies crying, etc. She also trains the puppies to mand (sit and look at you). This has been extremely helpful, as we can say “sit” and Tucker sits quickly. Also, Wendy is adamant about a very healthy diet for not only her puppies but for her parent dogs as well; therefore, we have chosen to feed raw style dog food, it is very easy and going well. Wendy has made the process so easy; she communicates extremely well and is always available to answer questions. She has been nothing but wonderful to work with and the puppies are amazing! We are able to say all these things 2-fold, because we actually purchased 2 puppies from the same litter, one for us (Tucker) and another male puppy for our daughter and her family (Kodiak Bear). We all have truly been blessed by the addition to our families!! Choose PawssieDoodle and you won’t be disappointed!

We cannot thank you enough for bringing Monte to us! He is such an absolute blessing! He was completely potty trained from Day 1- seriously, not one accident!
He is healthy.
He is so fast and loves running with dogs at the dog park! He loves hiking and dipping his paws in the mountain lakes. We drove to BC, Canada and he was the best travel buddy! He loved playing in the snow in Yellowstone- Hopefully we will get some in the front range for him soon.
He is so very intelligent and intuitive! You teach him something twice and he’s got it down!
He is about 12lbs - all leg😊
We love him to pieces. We count you as an absolute blessing in our lives and appreciate all the love and expertise you share regarding these wonderful dogs.
Have a very merry Christmas! Love Steve, Serena and Sire Montepulciano ( Monte)

I'm really not certain how to begin this endorsement, so I guess back to the very beginning is as good a place as any...
I was a bit reluctant to get a new puppy from a breeder that I didn't know, as I have read and seen so many horror stories regarding "puppy mill" breeders. I had called a couple of other "breeders" before connecting with Wendy and I have to say, these other breeders were reluctant to discuss the puppies parents with me, could not provide pictures of the father, housed the puppies in a "shed" outside the home, etc...all scenarios were just not sitting well with me. Then I found Pawssieoodle. From the very first phone call, I was comforted by Wendy's warm and informative nature. I was bowled over by the transparency provided by dialog, the website and the video cam set up to watch puppies in those first crucial weeks of life. This was the breeder for me--even if I had to fly to CO from New England (during a pandemic no less)! Another thing I really liked about Wendy, is that she would make suggestions and offer guidance and I know she has her methods and opinions which she shared, but she never made me feel like I HAD to conform to her process. One of my favorite parts was the puppy cam and the transparency it provided...I had that thing running almost non-stop! I tell Dexter that I fell in love with him before he even knew I existed! Speaking of Dexter--I cannot say enough about this dog! I am a very experienced dog owner (this is 6th for me) and never have I seen such a good looking, smart, agile, intuitive, fun and sensitive pup all rolled into one little bundle of fur/hair! He really does have it all! I can take him ANYWHERE and he fits into the environment (due in part to Wendy desensitizing him to noises and acclimating him to people before I ever got him)...which to me is a HUGE deal as my last dog was quite reactive and taking him places often was not an option. In closing, I hope that in reading this, my joy for Dexter and my admiration for Wendy (and Cozy and other people that helped make this pup so great) is expressed. I am so very happy to have chosen Pawssiedoodle and I sing praises every day while I watch Dex grow into a confident, well adjusted dog!
With Gratitude,

I have had a wonderful experience with our puppy L’il Dood from Wendy at Pawssiedoodles. He is now eight months old and delightful. I attribute much of this to the skill and knowledge of Wendy and her family. Although I am an experienced dog owner, I have learned so much from Wendy and her web site. The puppy-cams enabled me, and my extended family, to share the excitement of the litter from birth to the hand-off of our new family member. And Wendy was so kind to meet me at the airport with L’il Dood as we live out of state. I am especially grateful to have learned about the benefits of raw food. We immediately saw the health improvement in our four-year-old doodle and plan to keep both dogs on this program.
Thank you Wendy, and Pawssiedoodles!

Once we decided to get a new dog, we got on the web to look around for doodles in Colorado. We knew we didn't want a dog that shed much, if at all. We found Wendy quickly and loved all the information on the website. Communication was great and in no time, we were on the waitlist for a late Spring litter. As life has a way of working out, we ended up with an earlier litter, due to others wanting to wait. We were thrilled!! The entire experience from beginning to end was a dream; from the puppy cam and quick responses from Wendy to questions, to the training and amazing care these pups receive. We couldn't be happier!!
Our Miss Millie is now six months old and is nearly full-size. We chose Auna for our puppy's mama because we were interested in a smaller pup and Millie is simply perfect for us!! She is a calm, sweet pup and will become a wonderful adult dog, due in part to the outstanding care she received at Pawssiedoodle. Gratitude always to Wendy and Pawssiedoodle for helping to make our dreams come true. We definitely recommend!!!

Purchasing our beautiful Bella FurBaby from Wendy at PawssieDoodle was an awesome experience. We found her on the web, when we were doing a search online for doodles breeders in Colorado. We loved that she had videos of her litters, and Live Video camera of her current litters. Plus pictures on her site with the available puppies.
We emailed her and she responded quickly, allowing us to speak with her on the phone as well as allowing us to Face-time with her and our potential puppy.
We scheduled a time to meet. It was so great to get to come and see the litter and meet the parents, as well as see first hand, how well cared for and loved all the dogs are.
They all were very affectionate, and loving. Beautiful dogs, that were in excellent health. She even started educating us on the powerful benefits of feeding raw. Which I then took home and started implementing with my 9 year old Labradoodle.
We were so excited to get to bring Bella home at 8 weeks. She was clean and had all her papers and recommended shoots in order.
Bella was potty trained to her wood pellets in a tray, so we made sure we had that available for her coming home.
Bella is now 5 months old, and we love her so much. She is a wonderful addition to our family. She is so sweet, and affectionate, loyal and smart. She can sit, lay down, stay, leave, and has no trouble doing her business outside.
Wendy was wonderful through the whole process. Allowing us to visit Bella, and answering all our questions about how to care for her. Especially about training, raw feeding and minimal vaccinations for optimal health.
You can see how much Wendy loves all her dogs and her puppies. You cant find a better breeder for your AussieDoodle!

SanO has now passed the 5 month mark. He lives with Tommy and 2 college roommates in Fort Collins. Of course I visit son and grand pup as much as possible. Thank you for such a great dog. It was very easy working with you from the early time we picked out SanO from the web pictures. I have had breeder dogs all my life and think your approach to raising the puppies the first 8 weeks was the most comprehensive. We liked that SanO got his new name training before he even came home, was handled and loved up by you guys including your daughter. The way you potty trained the pups meant SanO came home almost 100 percent trained. It was easy to get the final training done in Tommy’s home quickly. His shots and care resulting in him coming home with no parasites and he has been super healthy. It is obvious how much you care for the puppies in all the sound exposure they got and the food you fed him. He is obviously a beautiful dog and gets attention every where he goes. He is a true cuddlier and wants to be in a lap. But he is also high energy and will run and play frisbee with the college students. As you have seen from pictures he loves to fly Superman style why just walk down a few steps when you can fly. He is known as the “groovy dog” and heads always turn. Thanks again. I may need to get a pup for myself soon.

I cannot recommend pawssiedoodle enough! Working with Wendy was a delight and her genuine love for the puppies really shows. I am local to the area and she even let me come meet Stickeen before it was time to pick her up and have a little play time. All of the puppies wanted to play and definitely got some of my attention. I was surprised by how comfortable they were with a stranger at such a young age. The way they are raised there definitely shows. Stickeen has never had any problems socializing with other people and following Wendy's advice made that even easier. Once she had all her vaccinations I immediately took her hiking and climbing with me and often other friends dogs. She always gets along great with friends and their dogs. If I'm climbing and tie her up for a little bit, she understood very quickly to take that time to nap and not be upset or anxious that I wouldn't be by her side for a little. Then when we moved to the next place, shed be excited to do some hiking and stay right by my side again. Training her has been incredibly easy. This is anecdotal, but she slept through the night the very first night I got her and has been pretty consistent with that to this day! At 5 months she was already pretty consistent with fetch and a number of other fun tricks. Fetch is a favorite for both of us because she gets excersise and loves it.
The thing I'm most happy with is how much effort they put into socializing and getting them used to stimulation at a young age. The whole families love for the puppies is very obvious in the videos and even more so in person.
A big thing for me was all of the advice Wendy gave and how well it has worked in making Stickeen the perfect puppy for me. I still ask her for advice and keep her updated to this day. Couldn't ask for a better experience:)

I purchased an Aussiedoodle from Wendy in May, 2019. I highly recommend her as a breeder! Her dogs live in her home and are part of the family, which was important to me. Wendy does extensive research to insure the health needs of her litters. As a result of part of that research, we have our puppy on a raw diet, and he is thriving!
After meeting our puppy, it was hard to wait the 8 weeks to take him home. During this time, Wendy sent us pictures of his progress, and an adorable video of his first bath. I loved that she introduced different “sounds” to the puppies at a young age, as our other dog was terrified of thunder. “Cooper” sleeps through storms, is 6 months old now, and is a healthy, happy puppy.

We had an awesome experience adopting Pascal from pawssiedoodle. Wendy was very involved, setting up a puppy cam so we were able to watch him grow, play, sleep, and eat with all his brothers and sisters. Her husband even took him on the plane and delivered him to us in NY.
If you are interested in adopting an Aussiedoodle I would definitely recommend Pawssiedoodle.com. Pascal is super social, healthy, and we get compliments on him wherever we go!

Hi Wendy,
I want to tell you how happy we are with Mini, our almost 6 month old mini Aussiedoodle. Mini came into our house and became Cooper our Goldendoodle’s shadow. She follow’s him everywhere and mimics everything he does. She jumps “over” him, he is 65 pounds! She begs him to play with her all the time. We just sit back and watch. No better entertainment is needed. She is in perfect health as I have continued her raw diet that you got her started on. Cooper now has raw food added to his diet and now is a good eater. No begging the dogs to eat here. She is without a doubt the most affectionate dog we have ever owned. At least once an hour, sometimes several times an hour she finds me sitting reading or knitting or gardening and jumps into my lap and gives me kisses. This involves licking my face and when she has had enough of that she turns around and wiggles into me with her butt until I rub her belly. She then jumps down and runs to find Cooper. Wendy you have been attentive to my every need and question during these 4 months we have had Mini. I feel like we are now a family. Thank you to the moon and back. Oh where ever we go every one adores her.
A devoted client(family member)!

Our Aussiedoodle Puppy, Remington, arrived in our home at the tender age of 7 weeks. We were amazed that he was already 95% potty-trained and would sit on command--a true testament to the extraordinary care and early training provided by Wendy, Cozy and Bill. Their philosophy of raising their pups in a loving, home-friendly environment has made our training efforts easier and rewarding. Wendy Is totally committed to assuring that her pups are healthy and well-socialized prior to leaving her care. Remington is thriving, and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Pawssiedoodle without reservation!

We purchased our beautiful girl Millee Mae from Wendy at Pawsidoodle this past summer. We had a wonderful experience from the start! We got to watch our baby girl grow through pictures videos and the live video feed. We were in love from the start! We live in West Texas and looked all over Texas to find the perfect Aussiedoodle. We had a deposit down on a puppy from another breeder, but they lost the entire litter to a parasite. After searching and searching we found Wendy and her family’s gorgeous pups! We drove all the way to Denver to pick her up. Wendy’s puppies have the best start a puppy could have. I read every single thing on her website and was quite impressed with her research and knowledge on how to raise healthy, loving, well balanced puppies. Millee Mae is an absolute doll! She’s smart, loyal, loving, curious and a little ornery! Every person that meets her tells us they’ve never met a dog quite like her. She has a big personality and isn’t afraid to let us know exactly how she feels about something. She learned to use a bell to go outside within a few weeks and knows how to sit, stay, lay down, spin in circles, roll over, speak and give high five. Millee Mae is the perfect combination of sweet and sass and is incredibly athletic! We couldn’t love her any more!

My wife and did a lot of research before deciding on what type of Dog we wanted. When we decided upon an Aussie Doodle we searched many web sites and read many reviews. Wendy and her family stood out for their treatment and care for their Poodles and Australian Sheperd father (Zorro). We picked up our puppy, (Hudson) a chocolate brown with a white tuxedo stripe in March, when he was 8 weeks old. Hudson has a great temparent , he loves to play fetch and go for walks in the park and hikes. We find him to be loving and loyal. Hudson also receives compliments from strangers on his appearance and behavior, with people often asking where we got him. We highly recommend Wendy and her family.

My aussiedoodle puppy Chico is such a sweetheart. He is my little shadow and he is great with my kids! Wendy is very sweet and very knowledgeable. She kept me updated with pictures and videos while we waited for the day we could bring him home. Aside from the pictures and videos, my family really liked the live puppy cam! Definitely recommend Pawssiedoodle to anyone looking for a furry companion!
-Reina O. July/2019
We have one of Glimmers first puppies and his name is Wally and he is THE happiest and most loving dog. He can hike 10+miles off leash, loves fetching a ball on the beach and even rides on our paddle board. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be pet and rubbed. He always wants to be wherever we are. Wendy and Cozy were amazing breeders. They sent us pictures weekly and we loved watching him 24/7 on their puppy cam. They spend so much time each day with their puppies and hold them constantly. I HIGHLY recommend them if you’re looking for an Aussiedoodle!!
-Lori O
I can't recommend Wendy's Exceptional Aussiedoodles more highly! We just took home our pup last week and he is settling in beautifully. Wendy did indeed take exceptional care in raising him, and it's so evident. He is easygoing, loving, joyful, and SO quick to train! He has been the perfect addition to our family. Thank you, Wendy! <3
-Katharine Q.
Wendy and Cozy are wonderful breeders of AussieDoodles. They are knowledgeable, professional and compassionate so that every litter is excellently cared for, trained and prepared for their furever homes. If you want a puppy you can love instantly upon arrival, who will love you instantly upon arrival, you will not be disappointed by ExceptionalAussieDoodles. Our pup, Meeko (Glimmer x Zorro), was tenderly cared for by Wendy and Cozy for his first eight weeks, guaranteeing that we would love him when we brought him home. ExceptionalAussieDoodles...highly recommended.
-Ira A.
We got our little Luna just ten days ago. Great communication, puppy cams, weekly updates and photos from 1-8 weeks. Luna was well cared for and we love our new addition to the family - I highly recommend Wendy if you are looking for a breeder of Aussiedoodles! Thank you
-Anthony M.
Wendy and Cozy do a wonderful job of giving their Auusiedoodle furbabies the best beginnings to life. Our Sweet Pea (Glimmer X Zorro) was cared for and loved from day one with careful monitoring, daily socialization, and tons of affection in their home. It is obvious they love what they do from their heartfelt smiles and the pups boundless love for them. My husband and I felt completely comfortable knowing not only were our puppy’s parents genetically tested before being breed, but they and the puppies received the best of veterinarian care and the highest quality food on the market. They even began puppy training before going to their fur-ever home at eight weeks. Everything about the parents’ and litters’ care was focused on their health and wellbeing and we trust them completely. If you are looking for an Auusiedoodle pup to welcome into your home, Exceptional Auusiedoodles are highly recommended!
-Diane C.
Wendy!!! I recommend Wendy!!! When you get a dog you really don’t know what kind of environment they were raised in. But with Wendy, Cozy, and Bill, you know that your puppy was raised with nothing but love, attention, and care. The weekly photos and videos make you feel confident in where your puppy is at before you get them, and makes you feel more prepared when taking them home. Thank you Wendy to you and your family for truely raising all your puppies with love and passion.
-Alana L.
What a princess! We love our Lola (Auna’s 1st litter). Thanks Wendy & Cozy for your love, attention and training showered on our girl. Congrats and best wishes in your new business. Your pups will be “exceptional” indeed.
-Tammy H.
We have one of Wendy & Cozy's pups. Our Gracie was 6 months old last week and she came to us at 8.5 weeks crate trained, did well with letting us know when she wanted to go out...and a real sweetheart. Wendy checked in with us frequently once we got her home and was always available to answer questions.
-Anne C.
We have the most adorable seven month old red/chocolate tuxedo pup from Wendy's Glimmer and Zorro (the one in Wendy's photos!). Wendy, Bill, and Cozie are delightful and honest people to work with and my husband and I both recommend them most highly. You get to see your puppy on the video cam for the first few weeks. It is live and you can watch as often and as long as you like. Wendy feeds her pups the very best food, higher quality (and more expensive) than most breeders use. She also has a wealth of knowledge about vaccines and nutrition and spent so much time with me on the phone answering my many questions, and was sooooo helpful. Our Annabelle was flown to us at 8 1/2 weeks. Her intense eye contact was noticeable almost immediately. She's slept through the whole night since she arrived. Potty training was relatively easy. She is so smart, learns quickly, loves to play, and play some more, alert, very energetic, funny and oh so entertaining. The only downside for us is that she has gotten car sick since we got her. We work with her daily but it remains a big impediment as we want to take her in the car with us everywhere. It is unfortunate but is something that cannot be predicted. Even so we wouldn't trade her for anything. She has brought so much joy and humor into our home.
If you are considering one of Wendy's pups, my advice to you is: don't hesitate! Go for it!
