Double R Aussiedoodles has always enjoyed the feeling that comes from donating a puppy, sending funds to ministries, or giving to someone in need, we are truly blessed and wish to be a blessing.
We recently made the acquaintance of a lovely young lady, from Crestview Florida, named Beth Deal. Beth and her lovely mother, Ramona, have started a new business of training Diabetic Alert Dogs. With several diabetics in their family they have experienced, close up, just how devastating diabetes is to the person who is suffering from it's effects and to the families who have to watch and protect these family members. Ramona shared with me how a mother can never really sleep once she knows her child has diabetes. If a person's blood sugar drops too low that child or adult can fall into a diabetic coma...sometimes never coming back out, the result can mean death for that person. The girls passion is to train dogs who have the ability to alert the diabetic their blood sugar is low, or to go get help if that person does not respond. This is a tremendous blessing for any family with a diabetic living in their household. It allows a mother to sleep well at night, it frees young adults to leave home and go to college or live independently, and it can save an adults life as well.
The dogs can be of any breed, but Beth and Ramona have decided to use the hybrid dogs for training. These dogs are low to non shedding, are hypo allergenic, and in the case of Aussiedoodles they are extremely intelligent and easy to train. They started out with the Labradoodles, we wanted to introduce them to the Aussiedoodles as well. We took Ripley to Florida in February to start training in their program...what a lovely family, we so enjoyed our visit! Ramona is an awesome cook and served us a wonderful lunch. We spent the entire day "talking dogs". Double R Aussiedoodles will be sending more puppies to these ladies for training...we look forward to working closely with Beth and Ramona and wish them all the success they can stand!
