What a day was the SwissRidge Doodle Romp of 2017. Each year the ‘doodles’ of SwissRidge Kennels come together to raise money for a worthy cause and enjoy one huge ‘play date’ in Guelph for their extended family. I met pet parents who packed up their doodle(s) in a car or van, arranged travel documents and crossed the border from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maine and Massachusetts, got on planes from Calgary, and in cars from all over Ontario and the GTA. Getting a photo of such a large group is a lot of fun!
Below, you can find some of the individual furries I was able to capture as they went about meeting old and new friends, running about and sniffing butts. I tried my best to remember the names of those I met, but without having written anything down, it is quite likely I have mixed some up. And then there were those who I did not know who mum and/or dad were. If you can provide further information, I would be happy to make the corrections.
So, without any further ado, please meet…
Jack
Tiny little Rowdy!
George
Emma
Finn – the kind of chocolate that is perfectly GOOD for you!
Stella

Would you know your doodle by their “doodle butt”?

Thank you so much for attending our 5th Annual Doodle Romp again this year. Thank you for capturing and sharing these amazing photos. Hope you got a chance to look at the charity coffee table book that has your stunning photo on the front!
I even photographed the cover ;). But, I have yet to see inside…I’ll see if I can borrow a copy from someone.
Thanks so much for inviting me this year again!
The first Rocky or Rowdy picture is Rowdy. The next 2 are both Rocky.
Thank you! I have made the changes 🙂
