| "Sophie Schnoodle Rocks Our World" We found eschnoodles by searching the web and immediately fell in love with the photos Erin had posted of her newest puppies. Luckily, we were able to adopt one last July, and this puppy has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives. Since we live in NYC, we arranged for her to be shipped to us via cargo from Minnesota. This occurred without a hitch; Sophie was smiles from the moment we met her. She continues to be a great traveler, whether on a subway, bus, car or boat. Sophie has the most wonderful disposition. We were looking specifically for a hypo-allergenic dog, because I have allergies. I haven't had any problems with Sophie on that front, except for the tree pollen that collects in her hair while she's outside in springtime. Most importantly, she is very adaptable to her surroundings and our activities: always ready for a joyous and playful romp, but equally content being quiet and unobtrusive. I teach yoga and meditation in our home, and my clients always comment how sweet and well-behaved Sophie is. During classes, she’s our Zen dog. She was a star in her training classes, demonstrating her keen intellect and social savoir-faire. She is warm and outgoing, and quickly endears herself to other dog owners at the dog run. While she gets along well with other dogs (she tends to be submissive), she is usually more interested in two-legged folks than their four-legged friends. Mostly, Sophie has been and continues to be the biggest love bug you can imagine. The greetings we receive every time we come home make our 5-flight walk-up worth every step. In some of my own meditation training, we are taught to find an object of attention that we can use to help open our hearts. I only need bring Sophie to mind to feel a warm glow wash over me and a smile creep across my face. If our experience is any indicator, get ready to fall hard and fast in love with your new schnoodle. Thank you, Erin! We’re so grateful. Domonick & Steve New York, NY |

| "Sammy Goes to Alaska" When we were looking for a small dog, we had no idea what to expect from a Schnoodle...We wanted a dog that fitted in with our two Golden Retrievers and our cats...So we started to read about the Schnoodles and we thought they were the cutest dogs ever! By contacting the McCormick family and asking a lot of questions-we knew that breed would be right for us! Let me tell you-Sammy is the happiest, funniest, most playful and loving little girl you'll ever meet! Everybody falls in love with her. Her personality is simply contagious! She was very easy to housebreak and when we took her to obedience-training, she proved herself a quick learner and she got along with all the other dogs. We would do it all over again and maybe we will...The McCormick family made the adoption-process very easy and they were very helpful to me in answering all my questions and concerns...Thank you for everything, but most of all thank you for bringing so much joy to our life-in form of our Schnoodle Sammy....

| "Kirbi" We have been dog owners for the past 10 years but had never obtained a pet via a website or from an out of state breeder. Needless to say, there was some apprehension on our part when we decided to obtain our pet through a website and from an out of state breeder. We knew we wanted a schnoodle based upon our friends who own them. Our friends had also obtained their pets through out of state breeders but had mixed results with their experiences so we decided not to utilize their breeders to obtain our pet. What drew my attention to the McCormick's was the fact that this was a family who bred dogs on their home/farm. I was also impressed with the fact that Dr. McCormick is a veterinarian who cares for the animals that he breeds. The McCormick's website is warm and friendly. The love and caring that they have for the animals comes through their site. We knew this was the family we wanted to obtain our pet from. Once we made that decision, the McCormick's could not have been more helpful or friendly throughout the process. What most impressed us was that they wanted to know what "we" were about before they would let one of their animals become adopted. The McCormick's walked us through every step of the process including arranging for and helping with the delivery from Minnesota to NJ. We've had Kirbi now for over a year. She's the best pet we have ever owned. She is healthy, happy, smart, full of life and is a member of our family. The McCormick's still check in on us which is also something that they don't need to do but shows the level of care that they have for the animals that they breed. We can't thank them enough for all that they do and would strongly recommend them to anyone interested in obtaining a welcome addition to their family. Sincerely, Tony, Rose, Alex and Nicky New Jersey |

| "Coco - The Perfect Family Dog" Bringing our schnoodle, Coco, into our family was an excellent decision. We were reluctant at first to get a dog for two main reasons: allergies and a houseful of four children, ages 7- 14. Julia (14 years old) researched andlearned schnoodles were low-allergen and child-friendly. She found the eschnoodles website. We liked eschnoodles for several reasons: a veterinarian is in the family, they were within close driving distance to our home, and we could see from the pictures and descriptions on the website that the McCormick family cared for their dogs. The process of getting Coco from eschnoodles was easy. Emails were quickly answered. We had a wonderful visit to the McCormick farm to choose our puppy. We brought Coco home in September 2005. Our initial concerns about allergies and getting along with kids were quickly alleviated. Coco is wonderful with children, and she is friendly with visitors. She is a perfect blend of "playful pup" and "cuddle-bug". Coco loves chasing tennis balls! Julia has been Coco's primary care giver. Coco and Julia have successfully completed obedience training and the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. When Julia has questions about Coco, she emails Erin McCormick and quickly gets an answer. Coco has completely won our hearts. We'd highly recommend finding your schnoodle through eschnoodles! (And be sure to stock up on tennis balls!) Nancy, Jeff, Julia, Alec, David and Andrew Minnesota |

| "Shadow" When we were looking for a puppy, we were really looking for a dog that would fit into our family. We previously had to place our dog with another family because he was fearful of our daughter, who was a toddler at the time. We did not want to go through that heart-wrenching experience again. So, this time we needed to find the right dog to fit into our family. We accomplished that when we came upon the McCormick's website. Every question we asked (and we asked a lot), Erin answered quickly, completely and with much knowledge about the breed. We were impressed with this family business and knew they cared greatly about each of their adult dogs and puppies. Shadow came into our home in September 2005 and we couldn't be happier. She truly is a member of our family and just loves people of ALL ages - from babies to teenagers to adults. Shadow has her own dog friends that she loves to play with too, but she likes to think she's a part of the group when our daughter has her friends over. Shadow is very smart and responds well to commands. She was potty-trained easily (within 2 weeks) and has always known which toys were hers and which were not. She has never chewed inappropriately or expressed anxiety. Shadow is spunky, exuberant and playful, but she can also flip the switch and take a break to snooze or be a gentle dog when she is asked. Shadow has lived up to her name - she loves to be around us and is constantly at our sides. We are very grateful to Erin and the McCormick family for such a positive experience!

| "Riley" Last summer as newlyweds we were looking for a puppy that was hypo allergenic, had a good personality, didn't bark a lot, and was good with kids, as we were planning on starting a family. After researching different dog breeds, we came upon the Schnoodle. And when we looked for reputable breeders of Schnoodles, we found eschnoodles.com. We had a million questions for Erin about the temperament of Schnoodles and she was always very prompt in her replies and very helpful and informative. (The McCormicks even let us visit our dog, Riley, a month before we picked him up - it was extremely hard to leave him.) Bernie and Dr. McCormick were very helpful with all of our health concerns for Riley when we picked him up and have always been willing to answer any questions or concerns we have about our Schnoodle. We've had Riley since October of 2005 and have found him to be every bit as adorable, social, and fun as Erin described. Riley loves to go on walks, plays with most kinds of balls and toys, and is just overall a playful pup. He did very well in obedience class and loved being enrolled in Puppy Agility. We also just adopted our son, Joseph, and Riley is as protective as loving to him as we are. We would highly recommend eschnoodles for anyone looking for a fun dog and have found that the McCormicks are excellent and very responsible breeders of Schnoodles. Thank you for the great experience getting our delightful puppy. He has brought more joy to our lives than we could've ever imagined. Our family wouldn't be complete without Riley!

| "Bubba" Hi Erin, I am writing to tell you how great Bubba is. As of now, he is almost two years old. We can not imagine life without him. From the start, he has been a kind, gentle soul who loves our children with all his heart. He is super bright, easy to train and spunky-fun! I can not imagine a more perfect dog for our family. First off, he is such a lover! He knows exactly how to curl up to each of us, look into our eyes, and roll onto his back for a scratch. Our girls like to hold him like a baby and give him kisses. When they stop, he takes his paws and gently pushes on them for more. He is such a pro that when one child starts whining that another is getting all his attention, he switches to someone else! Ever heard of a dog who knows how to work a room? Ha-ha! His size is perfect for portability. We have a vacation home and often travel to see my mom in a nursing home. We pop him in the car; he curls up on his own seat or on the lap of a kid, and off we go. He is so good in the car. He likes running around chasing seagulls on the beach, or letting seniors at the nursing home pet him. He knows the routes to drop off the girls at school and gets excited when we pull into the school lot....He pretty much goes everywhere with us. Best of all is Bubba's easy going manner. We have lots of small nieces and nephews who visit. Sometimes he gets poked, pushed, or they fall on him. He is always calm. He does not mind little fingers stealing his bones, loud temper tantrums, and general little-kid chaos. For that reason alone, this dog deserves an award. Like I said, he is perfect for our family. Lots of people ask us where we have gotten such a great, cute dog. Therefore we frequently speak of your family and the terrific work you do in breeding these great pets. Sincerely, The Rosenthal family New Jersey |
