It has been far too long since I posted a life update! We have several exciting things to share and I know people don’t want to read a chapter book on the Ackerson’s so ill post individually over the next few days! First up, Jordy Ackerson our F1 goldendoodle (mom a golden retriever and his dad a standard size poodle).
About this time last year I started researching service dogs for Nora. There is a 2 or 3 year wait list, retrieving freedom pointed me in the direction of the good dog center in Decorah as to getting a puppy and training our own. The good dog center pointed me with an amazing breader Hermeier Doodles in waukon! Dannette and Krystal are amazing!! We took Nora up there to see how 3 dogs interacted with her and her wheelchair. Jordy was amazing right from the start so attentive to Nora. It truly was a special bond with a very special pup! We knew he belonged with our family! He went right from Hermeier’s to a board and train at the good dog center in Decorah. There he learned all the puppy basics and started training on how to walk with a wheelchair. We brought him home in July and our hearts have been so full! He knew right from the start that Nora is his person. He follows her everywhere, to the bathroom, in the bathtub everywhere she goes.
Not long after we had him home, Nora had a seizure. At only 4 months old Jordy acted just the way we would want him to in that situation next to Nora. When she came threw it he laid on the floor next to her, he knew!
We have worked with amazing trainers, where jordy continues to work on skills he will end up being a skilled companion and therapy dog. We need to also share his love with others as he is just sooo amazing! For Nora we are working on if Nora says “button” he will go to the button on the wall and it alerts us and our phones that Nora needs us. So if she needs help, if she falls, whatever it may be she will say “Jordy button” and he will do his job. We also plan to teach him to stand next to her to help stabilize her balance as she stands to brush teeth or whatever it may be down the line. Nora loves and finds so much joy in training Jordy! She will tell you what your supposed to do to train him, how to correct him, and what he is and is not supposed to do!
Jordy goes everywhere with our family, we can’t get out the door without him! ? we have been beyond blessed to be placed with him and by his breeders who are amazing! Now for the overload of pictures on Jordy in our 7 months together! ?
Myself without Mario. I’m a scared cat without Mario. Saw 3 dogs. Blu ignored them all and was just by my side. Passed two aggressive dogs who are always loose in the neighborhood and he totally ignored them. I’m always secure with blu. He’s honestly the best and doesn’t react to anything. Especially aggressive dogs. Proud of Blu and the way you raise these little guys.
Dannette, I want to let you know this dog is so easy to train. The only thing limiting him is Mike and I.

I plan on getting another one after Chloe is a year old so she has a playmate. I wouldn’t even consider getting another pup from anyone except Hermeier doodles. They just have such an extraordinary start in life and bred to be healthy dogs!! Sometimes u get what u pay for, and buying from a reputable breeder, especially the best breeder, is one of those times!
