RUTLAND MANOR

Finally, Dora & I were able to meet Beverley Manners - Grand Dame & Founder of Rutland Manor - affectionately known as 'Grandma' within the Labradoodle community worldwide. Beverley is indeed a legend in the breeding world. A quarter of a century of dedication in developing this unique breed has earned her an international fame. Rutland just shipped 8 puppies to all corners of the world and Helen, 'COO' at Rutland, was busy checking arrival status and receiving blissful thank you emails from families like us back in July 2008 when Kaya, barely 10-weeks old, arrived at our doorsteps. Labradoodles are wonderful pets; they are regal, affectionate, and super smart. We are of course extremely biased with our 4th daughter. We took a picture with Beverley and 3 gorgeous puppies ... I was holding a 17-week old with a unique 'tiramisu' coat, Dora with a 7-month red coat, plus a large standard in front of us who has a wonderful coffee coat, with gold stripes that are 'bleached' in the sun, like the trendy hair styles of the young. I was tempted, very tempted, to take one home!
