Ms. Sadie Benz has joined our ADNE breeder status!

Sadie is the first pup I kept back for a possible breeder from her dear mother, Daisy.  She is a chip off the ol' block but in chocolate.  When her guardian mom, Brittany inquired about her, it was truly a perfect placement.  Not only does Sadie live very close to my vet in Rochester, I go right past their street on my way there!  It doesn't get better than that for convenience.  :+)

Sadie has two young ladies who adore her and she travels to school pretty much every day as mom drops off the youngest. 

Beautiful fleece coat.

Sadie also has a 'cottage by a lake'  to enjoy during vacation times and attends many hockey rink games.  This girl gets a lot of socialization!  She is beautiful in and out with a stunning fleece coat.

What her Guardians say about Sadie:

After my parents adopted two labradoodles nearly 15 years ago I fell in love with the breed. Having grown up in Berwick and having labradoodles, we were made aware of ADNE and have enjoyed following her blog for years. As my own children started getting older and my husband and I contemplated the addition of a dog to our family, I knew it would be an ADNE doodle for our family. 

It seemed like fate that morning when I looked on the page and saw Ms Sadie Benz’s little face and after meeting her, I knew she was just right for our family. 

Sadie is the joy of our family. My husband is an early riser, around 5am and Sadie lays happily in her bed while he gets ready for work. She gets up with me and spends the morning downstairs following me about as I do my chores; but the moment I ask if she wants to go wake up 'her' girl she is upstairs and in my younger daughter’s bed before you can blink. 

My teenage daughter’s friends all insist on coming in to see Sadie. They love to pick her up and cuddle her and Sadie happily obliges, loving the attention. When they put her down she immediately looks for them to play her favorite game with her - ball! She loves to chase a bouncing ball and bring it right back. I must say while she brings it back she is not quick to drop it, because a good game of chase can’t be beat!

My younger daughter’s friends all know where we keep the Cheerios, Sadie’s favorite little treats. They need only open the jar and Sadie is there- sits, lies down and rolls over. Of course laughter ensues as the kids are delighted that Sadie can read their minds. 

Sadie is full of spunk around the kids, but most days while they are at school, she is home with me. She follows me from room to room as I work around the house and when I stay in one place long enough she curls up at my feet and relaxes. She rides with me as I pick them up and drop them off at their various activities - a great companion. 

In the evening, when everyone is finally home Sadie’s favorite words are “Want to cuddle?” She jumps up on the couch with whomever asked and curls right in. When my youngest was sick she never left her side, comforting her. 

Ms Sadie Benz is a constant delight in our family. I think best put by my daughter 

“Can you even remember life without Sadie, what was the point?” 

AVAILABLE FOR A LOCAL GUARDIAN HOME ON OCT. 14TH.

MS. SADIE BENZ

What can I say? This girl is such a great example of what I like to keep back and breed from if she passes testing at a year of age.  Although her yummy chocolate color may fade, her lovely personality will just continue to 'age like a great wine'.  I love that she has retriever instincts, likes to chase a ball, enjoys cuddles and focuses well.

When Sadie was born, I was taken with how well she was 'put together' even as a newborn. She was rock solid sturdy and beautiful.   She and her siblings come from really healthy lines with an excellent family tree.

Mercedes Benz - known for its quality and great lines - just like Sadie.  :+)

I love her broad head and her rear end is also well 'designed' with a nice wide stance - she is very balanced. This lovely vehicle and Sadie have a lot in common hence the twist on the name. Can't beat quality, great style or workmanship.  :+)

Sadie will be a small medium of about 30 lbs. and perhaps 18 inches in height. She is a nice blend of calm and playful. Impish enough to make you laugh and hearty enough for hiking, swimming, walks and just the perfect size for easy baths and traveling.  Sadie will not have a curly coat, it will be long and flowing like her mother Daisy Mae but in tones of chocolate/cafe. She will not shed.

If you live within an hour of our location in North Berwick, Maine, Or Southern Maine Vets in Lyman, Maine; or the location of my vet in Rochester, N.H., I would love to hear from you.
