Stu visits the doodles & Morgan

Stu and I went to see pups after work.  Just to have a look - no obligation..... 





 
As you can see Stu was as taken with Morgan as I was.  But hey, what's not to like.  After having a play with them all we carried Morgan and Magic over to the house while we had a cuppa.  Magic had his first lesson in tea making and photography.  Gail and I then had a long chat and cuddle with the pups while the Jon and Stuart talked tiles!!! Then it was time for the pups to go to bed.

 


 




 








However, we did need to think this through logically and not let our hearts rule our heads.  Getting a dog is a huge responsibility. We needed to consider if we could mange with three dogs at home and the logistics when we go visiting relatives. We knew that if we were to have a third dog it would need to be a male as Poppy would not tolerate another female living with us, whereas Ozzy who just bumbles through life has been fine with other males we have housed.  We decided to go home a sleep on it.

Click & Treat those pups!

Email to Gail

This litter of pups is as cute as ever! Great to see you are keeping up the hard work with the socialisation, health checks, toilet training etc. You deserve a gold star for your efforts. I was amazed at how clever the pups were and within minutes Morgan was doing advanced tricks like waving, he also did a smile when I said cheese! A true genius in the making. CLICK & TREAT that dog.



Morgan is not alone, his brother Boris is also a star doing fantastic stunts like cross paws.


The girls, not wanting to stand in the boys shadows decided to go one better though, they managed to untie nearly all our shoe laces without us noticing. Is this the most advanced litter ever?


Have a good weekend, see you soon. Debs x


ps Give Morgan a big pat from me and tell him I am working hard on uncle Stu.





TrentisHoe Puppy Cuddles

The "M " TrentisHoe Labradoodle litter

Went with Tracey to visit Gail a local Labradoodle breeder for puppy cuddles & lunch. Her latest TrentisHoe Doodle litter has six puppies - Melodie, Mango, Magic, Morgan, Minstrel and Maverick born on the 12th August 2010. (Four girls & two boys). They are an F1 litter which means they are a first generation Labradoodles. Mum is a black working Labrador called Wader and dad a white standard Poodle called Louis.

We went to see her two litters last year which were very sweet, but this year for reasons I cannot explain Morgan (black boy pup) stole my heart. I see hundreds of puppies a year at dog class, but I saw something in Morgan that was special to me. I decided to chat it through with hubby...

Murky Monday

Following a beautiful sunny Sunday, we now have a murky Monday. The dogs had such a good time in the woods yesterday, jumping in puddles and streams, but now they need a groom before they redecorate the entire house with mud splats. We are going to test run a V rake comb which is recommended for Beardies. My Beardie friend sent me one in the post to test run. I shall report back with findings.....
