In the month of November 2008 we experienced a wonderful surge in readership.   When Malia Obama stated her desire for a Goldendoodle, people who had never heard of them before became intrigued and enamored.  Over 118,000 unique viewers generated over 8.6 million hits to our website  -   LINK TO STATS

Many Dood lovers have reached out to the Obama's, sharing their love of the Dood.  One Dood has composed an open letter  -  LINK TO BLOG
