Nellie  lives with the Geisness family.   She is from violet 💜 and Buster 🤎

She is  30 pounds, vet said she’s perfect.  Nellie is easy going, calm, snuggly, even tempered even when getting groomed or nails cut. She is sensitive—cries with shots and doesn’t like to get her feet muddy. She loves playing with my kids and our other pup, being cold (sleeps on the air conditioner vent), belly rubs, and car rides. While her crazy “sister” Scarlett want hang her head out even when it’s zero degrees, Nellie wants to be right next to me as my little co-pilot.

 This is Stella, a Labradoodle from Brandy and Milo, and she embodies the true spirit of our Guardian program. As she grows, she'll become a mother herself, spreading joy and love. I've had the profound privilege of having her by my side for a few weeks while her family was away in Washington. Her personality is a beacon of hope, reflecting the very best of Brandy and Milo. Witnessing firsthand the remarkable result of careful breeding for temperament has been a heartwarming experience. Stella is the epitome of all that I had envisioned when pairing Brandy with Milo. At the end of this inspiring video, you'll catch a glimpse of Stella, her mom Brandy, her dad Milo, and her brother Lewis. I feel grateful and blessed to have shared this time with her, and I'm even more hopeful for the bright future of Hidden Valley doodles with her as part of our program.
