First Post! 09/13/2009

Hi Nicole,

Another Lola and Ivy update.

Both girls graduated from puppy school- at the top of their class (they
share the honour). We were very proud of them. In typical Lola and Ivy
fashion, they didn't like (or should I say want) to practice at home but
turned it on at puppy school and had everyone amazed at their obedience.

The pups came for a visit to school on the last day of term. My class
absolutely adore hearing stories about them and have constantly asked for
them to come and play. The last time they saw the pups was a few weeks
after we got them. The kids couldn't believe how big they were. It was
adorable seeing 19 prep children each take turns and walking the pups
around the oval and gently patting and talking to them.

Lola and Ivy still love the garden- my beautiful flower bushes are flat in
the middle but growing nicely around the outside (hopefully you can see
the picture). They love playing chasey around all the trees and often come
out with leaves and twigs all over them. They have also taken to pruning
some of the larger trees- which makes me really happy. Its so hard to be
grumpy with them- especially when they pull the cute innocent Im sorry
look.

I hope everything went well with the last litter and the new owners are as
pleased with their pups as we are with ours.

Brooke.

Hi Nicole,

We purchased Alfie from the Feb 08 litter and just wanted to let you know that he is the best dog in the world, he is always happy and loving and we could not live without him, he has brought us so much joy, I cannot tell you how much. He has the best nature I have ever known in a dog. Thank you so much. By the way, My husband said he wants to buy a ute I said where am I and the kids going to sit and his reply was "Alfie is in the front seat and we all have to sit in the tray!" what can you say to that, Regards, FIona

It has been two weeks since Nicole and Tanya brought Ivy and Lola to us in Mildura, and both have settled in beautifully. Both girls are a bundle of energy and love playing around the trees. They are happy, affectionate, playful and put themselves to bed when they have had enough. Everything that Nicole promised to do she has done and the weekly updates of the puppies were fantastic and kept us informed every step of the way. Once again, thanks very much Nicole and her family for giving us two fantastic pups.
Kind Regards,
Brooke and Megan.

I have had Molly now for a couple of weeks. She is a such a beautiful natured pup. She has fitted in so well with our family. Nicole organised a flight for her to fly up to North Queensland. Everything went well and we received Molly without any problems. We got weekly updates and photo's which were great to see our pup grow each week. Thanks Nicole for everything.

We picked Marley up from Sydney airport about 3 weeks ago. From the moment he tentatively walked out of his little cage (with his teddy) he has been the most happy and loving little man. He is going to puppy school now and is fitting in really well and has learnt to sit and lie down. It was very easy dealing with Nicole and organising all the transport. The weekly photo was fantastic. Thanks for our new little addition. He is muched loved Thanks Patsy and Karlee

We received dudley about 3 weeks ago and it was one of the easiest processes i have gone through thanks to Nicole,she arranged the transport and constantly kept us informed of his progress from the moment he was born.The weekly photos were a hit with my young children. Dudley has settled in nicely i think he sometimes forgets he is a dog sometimes as he is treated as a member of the family.He learns real quick and is a joy to have around, Thank you Nicole for a wonderful experience.

Hi,I would just like to say what a great pleasure it was to purchase my cocker spaniel puppy "Chester" from you.
We have had him for nearly one week and he is a great joy to me and my family such a happy little fellow and not afraid of anything very good temperment even he even try's to play with our german shepherd so very brave too.
Nicole you made it such a simple process to fly him all the way over to Perth for us, and the weekly photos and messages from you were great inspiration to us very profession but friendly too. And when i had questions once i got him home you replied very quickly. Many Thanks i would recommend your kennels to anyone looking for a cocker spaniel puppy.

Well, we're up to 3 Zoack puppies now! All gorgeous and get on really well with each other. Our new little boy Pumba has fitted in brilliantly with the 2 girls, Kaya and Willow. We were especially surprised with how content he is at night time!
We would absolutely recommend Nicole and Zoack kennel to anyone thinking of getting a puppy. She has been great to deal with and made the whole process so easy each time.

Thanks for another great dogNicole . . oh and . . . this really is the last one!!!! (I know we said that last time but we couldn't resist!)

We got our lovely little girl Ruby on Thursday and she has settled in really well. A big thank you to Nicole for all her help, weekly photos and emails, communication was great and Nicole organised all the flights from Broken Hill to Perth, which made buying a Zoack puppy really easy.

I would highly recommend anyone looking for a lovely, sweet natured, cocker spaniel puppy to go through Nicole at Zoack Kennels.

This was my second trip from Tassie to collect a "Zoack" puppy. Our Ollie was the first and now we have Levi. WOW!!! He's the dearest little boy, so loving and affectionate. He waits so patiently each morning for his toast looking up at you with his big dark eyes and in the shadow of his Auntie Ollie, you just can't resist. He sleeps on the end of my bed every night and the joy of having both my spaniels beside me each morning is just precious. I have had numerous english cockers now and i have to say my two Zoack babies are some of the best bred and raised cockers i have seen. When i met up with Nicole in Mildura to collect my Levi (and bring little Humphrey back to Tassie too) we got to share stories of all Zoack puppies. It doesn't take long to know that Nicole not only loves what she does but each and every puppy that she breeds is like family to her. Thankyou so much Nicole for all you've done (and Tanya too) you make a great team. Love keeping in touch!

Hello Nicole and the rest of Zoack fans,
my little doggie humphrey from Zena and Zimba's last litter born 19th July is doing beautifully in his new home in Tasmania. He made the trip down from broken hill to hobart by car/boat with his brother Levi (who stopped off in devonport with his new mummy sharon?

He is everything I could have hoped for, being my first cocker spaniel he lives up to the personality that makes them feel like they are really a little human rather than a doggie, so proud of his toys and alot smarter than people give them credit for.

He has little donut paw, and a dome head and already he has built an unbreakable bond with me and my partner rowan, we don't remember life without him.

I would recommend a zoack cocker to anyone anytime, and would like to thank nicole for providing all the info i needed in preparing for humphreys arrival. Humphrey looks just like his mum zena, if anyone would like to see photos you can add me to facebook and see them, (humphrey has his own album)

Hi Nicole

Happy New Year - hope you had a great Christmas.

Just an update on Ruby - have been meaning to email you for ages and send a couple of photos of Ruby, but kept forgetting!!

Ruby is doing great - I can't remember life without her now and she is such a clever little girl - such a joy to have. She loves going for walks and playing with her toys. She sleeps outside in her kennel and loves it - she couldn't settle indoors, but settled straightaway outside - I think its because she can roam about when she likes. She is definitely one of the family and thinks my 7 year old son is a pup lol - always playing with him and pinching his toys!

kind regards
Julie

hi nicole,

Humphrey is doing great and is loving the beach, we have moved to our brand new house and Humphrey has claimed it and the rest of the cul de sac! he is such an obedient little man, although I wanted to take him to puppy school he was so easy to train I didn't bother. He sits, shakes, lies, stays and waits before crossing the road! he is almost at the stage he can do it just with hand signals without verbal prompt! and he gives hugs like a person would, he is just the most gorgeous little man! In another six months or so we'll be ready for out second zoack baby :)

Hi Nicole

It has been almost 2 years since we took delivery of our puppy Daisy.
She has grown into the most beautiful dog who is a much loved part of
our family. She has the most delightful and gentle personality, is very
very loyal and loving, and has a very good sense of humour. It might
sound strange but she has real, though not overbearing, charisma -
lighting up the room she comes into. Everyone who meets her falls in
love with her. We are often stopped in the street or at parks by people
wanting pat her or ask about her. Having now been acquainted with the
breed for some time I often find myself comparing Daisy's build with
other Cocker Spaniels I see and I note (my 'parental' bias coming
through here) she is a much more delicately proportioned, fine featured
dog than many I observe. That she is so beautiful and has such a
fantastic temperament as well as being easily trained (though we haven't
done as much as we should) really is a credit to you as a breeder. Thank
you for our Daisy and the immense joy she brings us.

Hi Nicole,

Oliver ('Oli' or 'Spook') has settled in quite well. What a clever little thing he is! or maybe we are better parents second time around, he is getting very good at going to the toilet outside.

April has really taken to him, after an initial period of April (our cocker girl) just observing and Oli jumping and chewing her ears or her tail, they've settled and become great friends. This afternoon they started playing tag with one of their chew toys. A scatter of paws around the house is becoming quite a familiar sound :D.

Bella our daughter has already started training Oli with the basics she learnt at puppy school with April. He is really clever and sweet.

Right now he is under my feet asleep as I sit at my desk.

Thank you once again for such a happy, loving and good natured puppy. He is just endearing. We also really appreciated your attention to detail, the regular updates and of course the photos. Also organising Oli's flight and delivery home, you made everything so easy and allowed us to enjoy Oli from the very beginning.

Take care and thank you,

Jobling family.

Olly has been with us a week now and it already feels like he has been here forever. He has settled in really well and is just gorgeous.
At first i was a little worried about how he would handle the big flight up here to Darwin, but he did just fine.
Thank you so much for your help organising everything and making buying a puppy interstate so easy, we just love him, he is such a sweet little boy.

Dear Nicole,

We thought we would send you a quick update on our girls Ivy and Lola. We can’t believe it’s almost a year since they were born- time certainly flies.

The girls started Beginners Level Obedience Training with Delta Dogs in Mildura. They seem to be really enjoying it. Both girls can walk up the ramps and are beginning to do them on cue. They snuggle up to the instructor’s daughter for a cuddle- not that they are trying to be the teacher’s pet or anything J.

Both girls loving going for a ride in the car- particularly in dad’s van where they share the front seat and watch out the window. Lola does try to drive the car occasionally-especially when we try to get them out of the car.

Dad takes them for a swim most days at the river. Ivy loves balancing on the logs and swimming after the sticks dad throws her. Lola just likes to go for a paddle- she’s not too keen on getting all wet.

The girls still have not grown tired of the garden- they are even taking it upon themselves to help dig up the weeds (or should I say- prevent the growing of the weeds). Ivy is careful not to get caught (she hides the evidence by having a swim to clean off her paws and dunks her face in the water bowl) whereas Lola- she gets caught red handed each and every time (she wears it or sits in the hole). Here are some photos.

Hope all is well with you, the family and all the beautiful Zoack dogs. The last pups were just gorgeous.

Brooke and Megan.

Hi Nicole,

Thought I would give you an update on Molly aka "Mini" now that she is a big 1 year old!! She is doing really well and has gotten so big. She has a lot of chocolate through her coat especially out in the sun. She has had 2 haircuts to date and her hair grows so fast. Everywhere we go people stop us to tell us how beautiful she is and of course we totally agree. She has the longest eyelashes I have ever seen and she knows how to use them to get things. She loves cuddles and kisses and sucks everyone in with her charm.

Molly is obsessed with playing fetch and could play it all day if we let her. She loves her toys and even has her own toy box which she looks through to choose what toy she feels like playing with. She is spoilt rotten!! We always said we would never have a dog in the house, but that didnt last a day, she is always inside with us, I reckon she thinks she's a human not a dog. Her favourite place is the beach and runs straight into the water. She is also a jumper and wants to jump off everything despite giving me heart attacks. She is always bouncing on her back legs and its so cute.

As you know my Aunty Kerry brought a puppy off you Lily. We let Molly and Lily have play dates. Lily is bigger than Molly and Lily's coat is not as curly as Molly's is. It looks so cute to see them running around together. Thanks again for Molly we are absolutely in love with her. Ive attached some photos of Molly hope you like them :) (the photo's at the beach were last week on her birthday)

Regards
Karlee
