George (Spruce Grove)

This handsome dude is George, and that name really suits him, he just looks like a George! He is one of Dory and Cesar’s July 26, 2014, pups. He lives in Spruce Grove with his family and it sounds like they (and he) have done a great job. I am very happy with how many of you have sent updates on your Doodles, it sincerely means a lot to me. George’s family wrote:

George is a wonderful dog…….He is 51 lbs and coming on 8 months. Great walking companion and completely loveable.

Eddy

This is Eddy (of Lumsden), son of Dayle and Einstein, born March 24th. 2009. I had not heard from Eddy for quite a while, I am guessing he was too busy with his little sister to send any emails to his Grammy! LOL He looks wonderful and very happy! Thanks Heather! She wrote:

This is Edward (Eddy) whom we purchased from you May 2009. He is a great dog with an awesome temperment, and has boundless energy it seems, even at 6! Edward has a very little “sister” named Isabelle, a Pappillion we added to our family 2 years ago. She and Eddy are great friends, and she often shows him who’s boss (it’s her , by the way!). The kids love Eddy and Isabelle–if you’re familiar with the tween movie series Twighlight, and the main character love interested Edward and Bella, you will know where they came up with the dogs’ names! lol

Bella (Calgary)

This is a beautiful example of a Doodle that has brindled. They were all coal black at birth and it is hard to tell which will brindle out like Bella did and which won’t. This is one of Kloe and Cesar’s Dec. 17th. 2012 litter. I miss Kloe, she was a great dog to have around. The family that has her are all red heads so she fits right in, I would love to see a picture and if I get one I will share it with you.

Darla, the female I kept, just has some silver hairs in her but they are all over and when she is clipped you can see chocolate down her back. Thanks for this great update Darlene. Have a great spring with Bella. She wrote:

Here is Bella chewing on a twig on the deck. You can see a little better how she brindled. Pretty well all over. Face, legs and hips. So cute I think.

This well brindled sweetheart is Bella, who lives with her very loving owner in Calgary….and is now playing with foster Chihuahuas. I really commend people who foster dogs until they can get a permanent home! I sincerely thank Darlene for this video clip. Bella is an F1 Golden Doodle from Kloe (Golden Retriever) and Cesar (Silver Factor Chocolate Standard Poodle), born Dec. 17th. 2012, Kloe’s second last litter, her last litter was from Einstein and they were all blonde or apricot.

The question she asked was, did the Doodles from this litter not all ‘brindle’? I don’t think many of them stayed totally black, I kept a pup from this litter, Darla, and she appears to be totally black until you look closer and she has Chocolate all through her coat, you can really see it if the sun is shining on her. Bella is really a good example of a Brindle, they usually don’t really start to show the brindle until they are about 4 months old, so it is impossible to tell which are going to get this brindle and which aren’t.

Darla, Bella’s sister, had her first litter last fall and she will be bred again this fall (to Einstein) so those pups should really be brindle now, I have received many updates on them. They were born Oct. 8th. 2014. I will forward this video to all of Bella’s siblings and to the families that have Darla’s pups, also to John to post on my web site. I would sincerely love to be updated on any of these pups. Darla will be bred to Einstein again this fall so her pups will be full brothers and sisters to the Oct. 2014 litter.

I have not been well this winter so I didn’t breed any of my girls until the middle of March, so in May I will start having pups. My notify list is long and I really admire people who are willing to wait, I am reassured then that it is not a spur of the moment decision.

Enjoy this spring that has finally sprung. I can hardly wait to sleep with my windows open and let the frogs sing me to sleep! Bella’s family wrote:

Video of Bella. Short and sweet. Btw Bella has lots of bridling all over her.

I love it when I send pictures of one of my pups (your dog’s) pups to the owner of siblings from the same litter and I get an update on a pup that I have not heard about in quite a while. This is Bella, born Dec. 17th. 2014. Her parents are Kloe and Cesar. I sincerely thank Darlene for sending these, I still have one of these girls. I will attach a few pictures of her, her name is Darla. She had pups late last year bred to Einstein. I have had dogs for many years and I have never seen a female play like she did with her pups, she would lay on her back and hold them in her front paws and roll around and ‘talk’ to them. Thanks so much for all of you who let me see how my pups are turning out. Bella’s family wrote:

Hi. Thought I would send a couple of pictures of Bella here in Calgary. The first is with her sister Carly and the second is my grandson with her. I have so many I could send you.

Abby

This is one of Dayle and Einstein’s females named Abby. She was born March 24, 2010, so is now in the prime of her life and it looks like she has really developed into a character. I am so happy to hear about Abby, it has been quite a while, and now to see her in her prime brings me pure joy. Her family wrote:

Today our girl Abby turns 5! I can’t believe it, it seems like just yesterday we picked her up from you. She is a very happy, pretty and well-mannered girl. Always the centre of attention wherever she goes. She is a beautiful mix of both her parents and is quite the character, always making everyone laugh. I just wanted to thank you for Abby and the joy she brings us everyday. We can’t imagine our life without her, thank you again.

Vader

Vader’s (from Doe Dee and Cesar)  family is with the military, so he is doing a stint overseas. I have one that just moved from Calgary to Texas last year, so I am really getting a few world travelers. This litter is in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba also. Vader’s family wrote:

Here’s Vader out for a walk in Vietnam and posing.

Tucker (Saskatoon)

These are the first pictures I have seen of Tucker (from Kayden and Pluto born June 6, 2009) since he was a pup, he certainly grew into a handsome dog. I didn’t think he would get this big but it is hard to tell in the picture as his partner is a small woman and sitting in the background a bit. This is the head I was looking for, nice a flat, I am thrilled to say I am his breeder. His family wrote:

Tucker also has a new little brother – “Ryder” (pic attached) Registered name….. RoughRyder…lol! We love him…but sure is no Tucker, my husband keeps saying we should have got another Doodle…he seems to want a white/cream one?

I should NOT even be TYPING this….but if you ever had one like Tuck…that just needed a wonderful forever home………yikes….maybe let me know. My daughter (who Tucker ADORES…said this today….”You know Mom, if Margaret Ann is getting ready to retire, we really should get another Doodle) I almost had a stroke….THREE dogs would be a handful…m

I’m a bit of a neat freak including our acreage yard….but Tuck has been the BEST teacher…

THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL FAMILY MEMBER!

BTW- We are horse people…Tucker loves our horses, they love him….he lies next to our Stallion for goodness sakes. Also, each year we take horses and head to Cypress Hills for 2 weeks, Tuck can’t wait to get in the truck, he rides everday with us….AND… takes care of the third horse we bring..this horse is loose following along behind us…if that horse stops to eat..so does Tuck, then the two of them catch up…priceless.

Tucker & Lilly (Regina)

I tell people to put the crate where the puppy can see them so they can talk softly to it and reassure it that all is well, but sometimes in the excitement of seeing their puppy they don’t always get all the instructions. Tucker, the Blonde Doodle is from Dezi and Einstein, May 4th. 2012 and he got a little sister, Lilly is from Darla and Einstein, Oct. 8th. 2014 for Christmas. I have quite a few buyers who have two Doodles from here now. Their family wrote:

We had a tough 3 nights as Lilly cried and cried. We moved the kennel into our room and she no longer cries. Goes right into the kennel when it’s time to sleep and stays in there until morning.

Here is a picture of the two waiting for a treat. Lilly is very smart, follows Tucker everywhere and copies him. She has started to whine at the back door to go out but still has some accidents. She loves all the toys which is great. Tucker never liked to play with them. He preferred learning tricks and practicing obedience activities, for treats. We couldn’t imagine not having Lilly as part of our family.

Toby (Moose Jaw, SK)

[stream flv=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/July/toby.240p.flv img=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/July/toby.png hd=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/July/toby.480p.flv mp4=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/July/toby.iPhone.m4v embed=false share=false width=640 height=360 dock=true controlbar=over bandwidth=high autostart=false responsive=16:9 /]

This is a pretty awesome clip of ‘Toby just being Toby’ and I thank Kristin for sending this, Toby lives in Moose Jaw with his family. He is one of Dane and Cesar’s pups from August 9th. 2014. He is a big pup and clipping this short in wood tick season is almost a must this year, they are wicked, small and lots of them. This young pup bonded strongly with his children and he has his parents soft personality.

——————————————————————————–

This is Toby, who now lives in Moose Jaw with his family, three kids to play with. He is one of Dane and Cesar’s August 9th. 2014 models. He was featured in the Moose Jaw paper. Looks like he knows he is the star! Hearing about my pups is what keeps me putting one foot in front of the other some days so please don’t think you are bothering me by including me in your updates about your puppy. Thank you to those of you that have updated me. I have heard a lot of great things about Toby, roles that he has taken on himself like putting each of the kids to bed and staying with them until they are asleep. I would say Toby has it made with this family to love him unconditionally. A Cesar Bone from Canadian Tire will help with chewing, Internet Cables are not great for dogs! His family wrote:

This is Toby the Supervisor. He follows our youngest, Carter, everywhere. It is so sweet, our boy hurt his foot this past week end and Toby has not left his side. It melts my heart, he lays on Carters bed until he falls asleep and then comes out of his room. Toby has brought our children so much joy. It has only been a few months but he is a member of our family already and we love him to death. The kids play fetch with him 100 times a day and he always brings it back and drops it . He goes in his crate when we say “go to bed”. He knows sit, stay, leave it, drop it, come, and down. He comes in each kids room at night and lays with them until I’m done tucking them in and then comes to bed. He is an incredible dog! It is a good thing I have some self control and don’t have a bigger house or I’d be coming back for another!

Toby is doing great (with the exception of him chewing through our Internet cable in the back yard) lol .It look 2 sasktel guys a few hours to figure that one out! He is eating well and sleeping well with lots of puppy friends. He is 46 pounds at 6 months and his vet says he is quite a looker for a goldendoodle haha. He is great with the kids but has yet to learn proper greeting behaviour as he gets pretty jumpy and wound up still. He thinks he is a lap dog and tries to lay across my shoulders when I sit on the couch. All is well!

Tina (Newfoundland)

Miss Tina, who is a daughter of Dallas and Cesar, has moved to Newfoundland! Look at where this dog gets to play beside the ocean. I sincerely thank Suzanne for this amazing update. Tina will be getting some little brothers and sisters this July if all goes well. I would be thrilled to see and hear how her siblings are turning out. I never get tired of hearing about my Doodles! Tina’s family wrote:

Hi Margaret Ann We’ve moved back to Newfoundland and Tina loves the beach she jumps off the little cliffs such a goof!! So glad she’s part of our family love her so much!!

———————————————————————-

This is Tina, one of Dallas and Cesar’s 2014 pups. She now lives in Outlook, Sask. with her family. They told me they are very happy with this little girl and are raving about how smart she is and how quickly her house training is going. She is a very well loved girl. It looks like she has fit right in! Her family wrote:

Attached you will find pictures of our sweet heart Tina. She is doing great and we are so happy she is with us. Wanted you to see how sweet Tina looks in her new Christmas dress. Tina is such a lady!! She’s amazing we are so glad she is a part of our family. She loves helium balloons!
