"Maggie" (Irish Doodle)

 

"Maggie has become such a part of our family it's hard to remember life without her.  I don't have any pictures of her in the snow yet, but she loves it!  That first morning, though, when we had drifts of snow a couple feet deep, Mike opened the garage door to let her out and she saw this huge pile in front of the door - she just didn't know what to think!  She looked up at Mike like "what in the world?" so he picked her up and threw her in the snow - and she loved it instantly!  She's been romping in it and eating it ever since.  Speaking of eating...she's nearly doubled in weight since we got her! 

 

"She loves outings - you'll see her at Nerstrand State Park in the photos and we also take her out to my parents' farm, where she can run without a leash.  She enjoys the fenced dog parks here in town, too - as well as just being in our backyard.  She's also pretty content just lazing around the house - and has claimed one armchair in kids' playroom as "hers."  If anyone else is sitting in it, she'll just climb in anyway."

"Teddy" (Mini Golden Doodle)

 

"Just thought I'd let you know that we are so happy with Teddy. He is now just over 3 months old and knows many commands and will graduate from puppy kindergarten next week. He is the youngest in his class and is very well mannered.  Teddy loves to play with the kids and gets a lot of love. He is so soft and snuggly! Our son who has dog allergies has not had any problems. They can even sleep together with no allergy reaction. We are so pleased with Teddy. I could not be happier with the choice of dog and breeder!"

Fozzie Baer (doxipoo)

"I can’t say enough about how your puppies get their start in life!  Guinness’s (our other dog) circumstance was sort of strange but Fozzie’s carefree personality is just what the doctor ordered.  I can’t imagine life without him.  He is definitely our Magical Muppet."

Max (cockapoo)

"Max did a great job on the ride home and is acclimating to his new surroundings.  He's been playful, he's eating and went potty three times, including poopy all in the box!  We were so impressed, he just stopped playing, whimpered and took off for the litter box!  We love him already!"                                                                   UPDATE: He is such a good boy and we absolutely love him.  We have him in puppy school and he is far and away the best student.  He came in already well behaved, calm and at ease around other dogs and people.  He also learns very quickly and loves to play and play!  At four months he weighed just over 10 pounds, but he looks twice that with all his soft fur.   

 

I just wanted to say hi and to tell you what a joy Zoe has been for us. She is positively adorable.  All the neighbor girls love to come and play with Zoe and Sasha (our rescue dog), and the girls love to train them. Zoe just loves everyone and you should see her wiggle whenever anyone comes to the house....she just gets so excited. Our friends call her our little angel. She has brought get joy to everyone she meets.  She loves to cuddle a lot, loves to burn off energy, and then back for more cuddling. I don't know if you can tell by her pictures but her markings are the prettiest markings I've ever seen on a cockapoo. My mom is 85 and is not much of a dog lover, but she thinks Zoe is the cutest dog she's ever seen! As you can see I can't say enough about our precious little Zoe. Thank you so much for giving us such a precious and sweet cockapoo! Life wouldn't be the same without her!!!!!

Bailey (Irish Doodle)

My family and I wanted to write you an update on our loveable puppy, Bailey. Bailey is four months old and is a wonderful addition to our big family. She loves to play and run around with my son, go on walks, and go to my daughter's softball games where she receives non-stop attention from everyone who walks by. Also, my 11 month old grandson and Bailey get along so well and enjoy playing with one another. We recently took her with on our family vacation in Michigan where she went swimming for the first time and enjoyed being on a relaxing vacation. Bailey is a quick learner and is doing great with all her training. She has the best personality that fits right in with the eight of us. Bailey Doodle, as we call her, has made a huge impact on our family and has helped mend our broken hearts from the passing of our last dog.  Thank you so much for giving us such a great addition to our family!

Scotchie (Irish Doodle)

"We are so thrilled with our new addition "Scotchie!"  He is a wonderful (Irish Doodle) puppy!!  You have made our decision to get a dog an easy one ~ the purchase and delivery of Scotchie was smooth sailing ~ thank you for a wonderful experience.  We are singing your praises all over Jersey!!  Best wishes and puppy tails wagging..."

Duke Albert & Patty Ellen (Irish Doodles)

"Thank you for our two puppies, Patty Ellen and Duke Albert. My husband and I have had dogs throughout our 28 years together, and, although we've loved them all, our Irish Doodle puppies seem a new species! Patty and Duke WANT to learn what I'm trying to teach them. That's a new experience for me as a dog owner. The first day in our home, at 7 weeks old, both learned to sit on command and walk down stairs. The next day they learned to lie down; the next to shake paws. By week 8 they were walking with my husband and me on leashes and sat down each time we stopped walking. Today's trick was to learn to ding the call bell on command, in the hope they would learn to ring it to go outside to do their businesses. What a blast it was!! Within 2 minutes they both understood what to do. Patty uses her nose to ring the bell, and Duke does a double-slap and rings the bell twice. Does that deserve one liver treat or two?

"Our Irish Doodle puppies are as cute as can be. They are very bright and eager to please, bark very little, enjoy everyone they meet, and DON'T SHED."

Ella (cockapoo)

"Ella is a joy.  She loves to play with her big brother Wilson, who is a 75 lb Goldendoodle.  From the minute we brought her home she was ready to run and chase her big brother.  She could play fetch for hours and loves to run with Wilson in the yard.  She follows us everywhere and has to join in everything we do.  She loves to cuddle and has to sit right next to us whenever we are just hanging out.  Thanks for such a special bundle!!!"

     Biggie (cockapoo)

We wanted to write and give you an update on our adorable puppy Biggie.  Biggie just turned six months and we recently relocated from Minneapolis to Boston due to work reasons. We have been through some big changes and he has been our constant companion through it all.  We couldn't be more thrilled with him.  He has the happiest, most loving disposition.  He is the friendliest dog I have ever met and loves people as much as other dogs.  Often at the dog park he will run laps and stop at every single person to jump up and say hello.  He is never shy and has become the star of the neighbourhood with most people knowing him by name.  Biggie loves to play with the big dogs, in particular our best friend's labrador.   Biggie has taken to "perching" in our window and watching the action outside.  He is in perfect health and our vet paid you a great compliment saying "sometimes you just know right away a puppy is going to grow into a great dog".

Thank you so much for bringing Biggie into our lives.  We feel so lucky to be his "puppy parents".

  Molly (cockapoo)

"We just celebrated Molly's first birthday!  It has been such a fun year!  We all adore her.  Molly is very sweet, smart, and cuddly.  She is the perfect family (and lap) dog.  We call her the 'Princess Puppy Poodle' - she is 12 lbs of super soft fur.  She has the best Cockapoo fur I have ever seen.  Even  other Cockapoo owners have commented on how soft she is...but despite her propensity for growing fur, she does not shed.  It's unbelievable really.

"With two boys, I was very impressed at how Molly adjusted to her new home.  She loves to play with them and any other kids that come over.  She puts a smile on my face every time I come home.  Even after being gone five minutes, she acts as if she has not seen me in a week!  She gets her little tush wagging and does her very best to keep it planted on the floor while she waits to be petted.  It's about all she can do to contain her excitement that we are home!  Curt works from home, and Molly keeps him company if we are out.  She sits in his lap while he works.  It's really sweet.

"As a first time dog owner, I could not be more pleased.  Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your puppies.  You ensure they get a great start to life and makes our time with them even better!"

                                          Wilma & Louie (cockapoos)  

"Our lives definitely changed for the better when we got Wilma and Louie.  They are our joy and happiness, and they love to play and cuddle!  Everyone adores them, and they have learned so many things.  We attribute their gentleness and goodness to the wonderful start they had in life.  Thank you, Windstruck Farm, for doing such a great job with them!  We'd have another one if we could knock out a wall or two in our townhouse!  We can't imagine life with only one of them.  To paraphrase the Visa advertisement:  'Spaying and neutering, $700.00; Crate and pad, $75.00; Joy, love, and companionship - PRICELESS!!!!!' "

                                                         Monty (cockapoo)

"I'm writing to tell you how Monty is doing.  He did great on the way home, and when the kids saw him, they were shocked that he was actually theirs and not just a visitor.  He has won all our hearts, and I think he's enjoying his new digs too!  He loves to snuggle, play with his squeaky toys and the curtains, and he's even fetching a small tennis ball when we throw it!  He has an ongoing arument witht he broom, which is hilarious...and that tail...we LOVE that tail!!!!!  He has brought a lot of new fun and joy into our home."

                                                     Odie (cockapoo)

"We've had so much fun with Odie since we picked him up at your home, and things haven't been the same since!  Our lives revolve around this little guy.  He has brought more joy into our lives, as well as the lives of our extended family and neighbors.  He's a pretty spoiled dog.                                     He's completed three classes already:  one puppy obedience and two agility classes.  He's also really enjoying his first Wisconsin winter!  He met all our relatives at Christmas, and now everyone is asking us if they can babysit him.  He's just so adorable, no one can resist him.  Even the neighborhood kids come by to visit him often - he's like a mini-celebrity in our neighborhood.  Odie LOVES children and knows to be gentle around them.  He loves to nibble on us, his parents, but with children, he only licks!  I know Odie's sweet and gentle demeanor can be attributed to the nurturing, love, and care he received from your family.  Thank you!"

Here is a new pic of Ruby, who is now 1 year old. She's a joy to have around and is just the best companion. In this picture Ruby is wearing a veil in celebration of our June wedding.

Max (cockapoo)

"Max is such a great dog.  Totally a lover.  He is completely spoiled.  At times, I'm sure he thinks he's human! (LOL)  Thank you so much for such a wonderful addition to our family.

"Just wanted to let you know how much we love our Chloe.  She is just over a year old now and such a sweet heart and total cuddle bunny!"

                                                     Lupin (cockapoo)

"We adore Lupin!  Within the first few days of owning him, he caught on easily to potty training and learning to climb the stairs.  He has had maybe five accidents total, and never in our new house!  He always lets us know when he needs to go to the bathroom.  Lupin has a playful spirit and loves his toys (and is a great paper shredder).  But, he balances his playfulness with a wonderful calm, cuddly personality.  Every morning when we wake up, the first thing he wants to do after going potty is climb up with us in bed, lay on us, and cuddle.  He just lays there loving to be loved!  Lupin also does wonderfully with other animals.  He loves dogs and thinks cats are really funny, playing gently with the kitten we fostered for a weekend.  Our nephew is a year old, and Lupin has never scared him away, because Lupin always acts gentle around small children and babies.  It's like he knows!  Thank you so much for blessing us with the dog of our dreams!  He is perfect and the best dog in the world!"

                                Maddie (cockapoo)

"...we have been having the best time with Maddie!  She is just the sweetest dog ever.  I truly have nothing but great things to say about her temperament and overall 'cuddle-factor.'  She has just been a joy.  The girls think that Maddie is their dog, but really she is mine! :-)  My husband Joe is under her 'spell' too.  He can't help but play with her.  He'll be sitting in the chair, and Maddie will come running and fly through the air almost on top of his head.  It is hysterical to watch!  She is sitting here with me right now and follows me all over the house.

"After a month of tormenting my cat, I think Tiggy and Maddie are now the best of friends.  So you can see, Niki, we are very happy with our puppy, and you can let people know they can contact us at one of our business locations if they have any questions about our experience with our puppy from you or about you as a breeder."

                                    Zinnia (cockapoo)

"I just had to write and tell you how delighted I am with my new puppy.  It is the first dog I have ever had, and I was anxious about bringing her home and getting her potty-trained.  I am litter-box training her in the house, a new experience to be sure.

"We brought Zinnia home and spent two days showing her where her litter box was whenever she peed or pooped.  By the third day, she was using her litter box with only a few minor accidents, and within a week has become quite reliable.  I am very happy your family spends so much time working with your puppies - she has been very enjoyable, even for my grandkids who have always been afraid of dogs before!  We look forward to Zinnia being great company for us in the many years to come."

***Windstruck Note:  Because of the astounding success of this and several other thrilled customers who have litter-box trained their puppies, we now litter-box train all the puppies before they go home.  We highly recommend and endorse litter-box training!

                                   Barkley (cockapoo)

"Our Barkley is everything we wanted him to be.  He delights all our neighbors, and he always does more than we expect.   He is the most athletic, agile dog we have ever had.  He jumps/twists, and walks on his hind legs.  Everyone who meets him says he is the cutest puppy they have ever seen!  We would love to have more of him.  Keep up what you are doing.  We have given your name to so many people.  We hope you are all well,  and keep up the breeding of the best dogs ever!"

                                      Jed (cockapoo)

"Here is a picture of Jed from his puppy school graduation.  We are very proud!  He can sit and stay with the best of them.  I cannot begin to tell you how much fun he has brought to the lives of me, my boyfriend, our friends, and families.  I cannot take him anywhere without people wanting to play with him, and everyone comments on how adorable he is.  Jed is the most loving puppy I have ever seen.  I cannot imagine life without him!"  (See Jed's calendar picture on our HOME page!)  **See other pictures of Jed on our FAQ and Contact Us pages!

                                     Fudd (cockapoo)

"Here is a picture of Fudd hangin' out with us on the boat with his life jacket on.  Every day we're amazed at how quickly he adapts to new environments - he's learned to navigate the boat, loves sticking his head out the window on car rides, and is a maniac at keeping up with 100-pound dogs at the dog-park...then in the next breath curling up with us for a nap.  We're having a blast with him and couln't imagine life without him.  You and your family did such a great job introducing him to all ages and situations.  He has such a sweet disposition, not to mention adorable!  We can't go for a walk without someone coming up to pet Fudd.  My friend loved him so much she had her sister call you to put a deposit on your next litter.  Thank you!!"                    Pround parents, J.&E.W.

                                  Arthur (cockapoo)

"I received Arthur as a Christmas present (flown into Texas), and I just wanted to tell you what a WONDERFUL dog he is.  He's sweet, adorable, intelligent, and very loving!  He's the best pet I've ever had.  Not only is he an energetic playmate for our other dog, Cherie, he also learns new training commands quickly, and he's extremely well-behaved.  He is an absolute angel!  Arthur is a great friend and makes my life a joy.  Thank you so much for raising him (and for breeding such beautiful dogs)!"

                                             Bear (cockapoo)

"Just sending a quick picture of Bear.  He's about 6 pounds here (has more than doubled since we got him.)  He's healthy, happy, and hilarious!  He has brought so much joy to our family!  Again, thank you so much for our wonderful puppy!    P.S.  If you ever need a reference (either written or verbal), we'd be more than happy to provide one." 

__________________________________________________________________

                                  Henry (cockapoo)

"Henry is doing great.  He has just completed puppy class - he's brilliant in every way (he he he) - he is sitting and laying down on command.  Oscar our Doxie, who was always a pretty self-serving dog and ruled the house, has become a giving, tolerant, and nurturing dog.  He and Henry spend hours together playing.  Henry's temperament is playful, bright, and open to both people and other dogs.  He is a pure delight.  Your family has done an incredible job of preparing and socializing the puppies for their futures.  Thank you for an awesome puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                     Toby (cockapoo)

"Toby's so handsome, isn't he?  He's my new best buddy.  We go everywhere together, and when I'm away, I can't wait to get back home to see him.  He's so friendly and makes anyone that we meet smile, as he smothers them with kisses - even the vet who gives him shots!  Toby loves to play with people and dogs of all sizes (one of his best friends is a Great Dane!), yet he can snuggle with the best of them.  He recently graduated Puppy Education class and was a quick study.  Thanks for your continued support for Toby and me as he grows.  I'm looking forward to many, many years with him!"

Pixie (cockapoo)

Our Pixie is one year old here and the time has gone so fast!  I remember when she was just a tiny roly-poly puppy that could hardly make it up our back step.  She had to take a running start!  She now thinks she's a sled dog and loves the snow.  She immediately became part of our family and we couldn't imagine life without her.  Neither could her "brother" Buster, who is 4 years older than she is.  They keep each other company when we are at work.  The dogs are a joy to have and add a sense of purpose to our lives.  There is nothing better than a warm dog on your lap to cuddle with.  Our vet commented on how healthy she was - from her teeth to her coat.  "A perfect Cockapoo specimen!"  Thanks, Niki and family, for breeding such happy and healthy dogs.
