Month: April 2011

Update on March 27, 2011 litters (Dezi and Doe Dee)

These are Doe Dee and Dezi‘s pups that are available they were born March 27th and will be ready to go May long week-end.  The first two pictures are the available pup from the litter that Dezi had with Einstein.  The rest are the from the litter that resulted from pairing Doe Dee with Pluto.

There is a good selection of color, sex and hair coat variation in these two litters.   These pups are two year health guaranteed, will have two sets of boosters and the price includes delivery to Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary or Medicine Hat (and points in between), I will meet northern or Winnipeg buyers part way.   These pups will be non shedding, have their dew claws off, and be well handled.   They will grow up to be extremely loyal, clean and easy to train.  You will be proud to have one of these pups as a permanent member of your family.  My previous buyers tell me they are always getting compliments on their dog.  These pictures were taken April 24th, I update my pictures once a week.

Abbey

Abbey was from two chocolate English Lab parents.  There were 6 chocolate and one yellow in the litter she came out of.   Abbey produced some outstanding Lab pups from Trump (Misty) and F1 LabraDoodle pups from Pluto (Dayle).  Two of her F1 granddaughters, Debbie and Dory, will go on to carry her great bloodlines.

Abbey picked her own forever owner, a neighbor girl worked for me part time.  Abbey followed her everywhere and laid at the bottom of the ladder when she was painting… it was a forever friendship in the making.  Now she lays on my neighbor’s bed and I am told Abbey growls if anyone comes near her bedroom door at night.   That would be Abbey, faithful and loyal.   She came to visit me for Christmas but did not show any signs of wanting to stay.  After her visit she was ready to go home with her very own private person.

“The Girls” – Upcoming Chocolate Lab Breeders

The “girls”, a mass of Chocolate English Lab perfection in fur coats!   These will be the girls to watch in 2013.   We are waiting to let them mature and then decide who they will be bred to.  But one thing is for sure, there will be some outstanding Lab and F1 LabraDoodle pups when these girls are ready to be mothers.

I had to make the decision on whether I was going to concentrate on Golden Doodles or LabraDoodles.  These pictures will tell you which way I am leaning for the future of my program.   I have put a lot of thought into this decision.  I love both hybrids but have grown partial to the Labs….I need to live longer.  By the time these girls have had their allotted litters I will retire from dog breeding on this level.  All good things must come to an end…until then I am limping my way, full speed ahead.   So just sit tight and see what Krissy, Robyn, Winnie and Tigger are going to do!

Kelli

Kelli is the mother, and Grandmother, of some of my best breeding dogs.  Unfortuantely I was just learning how to use the digital camera then so don’t have a lot of pictures of this picture perfect girl.  Kelli is retired and lives on an acreage near Ponoka, Alberta.  This lucky dog winters in Yuma and is really enjoying her retirement home!

Hannah

Hannah has now had her last litter of puppies and is up for adoption to a farm or acreage home. She was born June 16th, 2008, so she is 5 1/2 years old. She has had three litters of awesome Labra Doodle pups. In my breeding program the girls do not have more than three litters unless they have small litters (and so far the only one has – Danni). Hannah has produced some awesome pups and has now fulfilled her job as a breeding female and would like to go on to her final job of being a farm or acreage companion outside dog.

I would like half of what it cost to spay her, which is $200 (her spay and shots, teeth cleaning etc. were well over $400) but I am not looking to make money on her, I just want to make sure she goes to a great home for her last 9 or 10 years. Her file with all her information goes with her. She is an easy keeper, I have never seen this girl thin, in fact it may be a good thing for her to go where food is not full feed like it is here. Hannah doesn’t jump up on people, she is not a licker, she is well mannered, she is not a barker. If you may be interested in giving Hannah her forever home with room to be free and just be a good dog, please text 306 521-1371, call 306 792-2113 or use my contact page.

———————————————————

Hannah, a Chocolate English Labrador Retriever, born July 16th 2008, struck my eye the very first time I set eyes on her.   She has what it takes to produce the quality of pups I am looking for from Trump.   When she came here it was obvious she had been purchased for her quality but no follow up with affection and training had occurred.   Once she had a few hours of training on her, and a lot of affection and praise, her real self shone through.  She has turned in to a confidant, loyal, sweetheart of a dog.   I left her an extra year to breed to be sure her head was in the right place (around here what is good for the dog comes first).  So this summer, at 3 years old, she should produce her first litter, she will be bred to Trump and I already have a waiting list.

Misty

Misty was my pick of the litter from Abbey and Trump‘s August 2005 litter.   This dog really gave me the run around with getting pregnant.  I almost gave up on her.  She was exposed to Pluto at 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 4 and 4 1/2 years old.  I knew there was nothing wrong with Pluto as all his other girls were having pups.  If she was not such a beautiful specimen of an English Lab, I would have given up.  But I had Misty vet checked three times and each time they said they saw no reason she was not getting pregnant.   Finally, when she was  5 years old, Pluto must have sweet talked her because just when I was ready to get her spayed and take my losses, she got pregnant.  Not only did she get pregnant, she produced an outstanding litter of 9 F1 LabraDoodle pups (which is why I have Dory and Debbie).   We are on the right track now.  So this summer we will give Pluto a few extra milk bones and see if he can sweet talk her into another great litter!

Dory

Dory in her new home on a farm near Melfort. I really wanted her to go where there were kids and room to be free, and she looks pretty happy.

—————————————————————–

I brushed Dory out and took fresh pictures of her. She is (hopefully) bred to Cesar (Chocolate Standard Poodle) and due to whelp in July. I am really hoping for a few Chocolate as her Grandmother is Abbey, my first Chocolate English Lab, her Mother is Misty (Yellow English Lab) and her father is Pluto….these should be some outstanding pups as Misty’s Father is the Mighty Trump. Dory was born June 8th, 2010 and this will be her second litter.

———————————————————–

Dory is Debbie‘s full sister, but they are not alike in build or personality.  Dory was born June 8th, 2010, her mother is Misty, making Trump and Abbey her Grandparents.  Her father is Pluto.

Dory is a clown.  She follows Debbie everywhere and then when Debbie takes a break Dory sits on her head, or pulls on her collar, brings her a dead leaf or a toy and wants to go play again.  She idolizes her sister but likes to be in her own pen and have her own space.  She is very much in looks and characteristic like her aunt, F1 LabraDoodle Dayle.

Debbie

Debbie was born June 8th, 2010, so is 10 months old now.  She was four months old when these pictures were taken.   Debbie is an F1 LabraDoodle from Misty (yellow English Lab making the Grandparents Abbey and Trump), and Pluto (Standard Poodle).  This girl will produce some of the best F1B LabraDoodles from Einstein (in 2012) that have ever been whelped on this farm.

She has a full apricot sister here also (same litter) named Dory.   They have very different personalities.  Debbie is the more adventurous and curious of the two and always in the lead.  Although she is slightly smaller, she can outrun Dory when they go for a run.   I see more of Pluto’s personality in Debbie.  She is a bit of an acrobat and has a clown attitude.  It is very entertaining to watch her figure things out, like how to get the ball out of the dog house.   Debbie and Dory make me wish I were younger… I really want to see what this bloodline will do.

Trump

Meet Trump.  I got pick of the litter when I chose this absolutely beautiful specimen of a dog!   Trump is an English Lab, his mother was Gold (with one black parent) and his father was Chocolate (with one black parent).  The litter was 10 pups, all coal black.

This is an old fashioned blocky headed, barrel chested, stout, gentle as a lamb, soft mouthed, intelligent, laid back Labrador Retriever.   He has a son that has gone on to be a professionally trained bird dog although Trump himself has never been used to hunt.    He throws good solid pups with his gentle temperament and loyalty.   This is another guy that will be with me until we die of old age.  He is very obedient and has solid hips and elbows.  He will be 7 years old July 12th and is just starting to get a few gray hairs on his muzzle.   He is such a happy dog, he is like a bulldozer when he goes for his run and then comes barreling back to me and skids to a stop right at my feet awaiting his loving time before he goes back to his kennel.   I called him Trump because I knew he would be my ‘Trump card’ in my Lab and LabraDoodle breeding program.

F1B Golden Doodle Litter (Dezi) – Born March 27, 2011

Dezi whelped March 27th, the same day as Doe Dee.  She has only two pups available, one male and one female, both black and both will be quite curly.   The proud father is Einstein, the Grandmother is the now retired Kayden, and the Grandfather is Pluto.  These pups will be winners where ever they go.  They will be easy to train, non shedding, extremely smart, clean and loyal.
