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!

Skye (Tisdale)

This young man bought himself a fishing partner and it looks and sounds like she is up to the job. Something about a man and a dog melts my heart. Her name is Skye and she lives at Tisdale but goes to work in Regina, so a traveling Doodle. Skye is the daughter of Dallas and Cesar, July 1st. 2014 litter, and I see she is getting some chocolate in her coat now. Skye’s family wrote:

Here’s some photos of her. She went on about 15 fishing trips this year. Only fell in the lake about 5 times we know she can definitely swim as she would not get back in the boat! She loves playing fetch and running around at the lake.

Her training so far has been:
Potty training
Come(still gets distracted but will come eventually)
Sit
Shake a paw
Roll over
She loves car rides and sleeps most of the way back and forth between regina and tisdale

Rufus (Saskatoon)

Rufus before and after his hair cut. Now that he is clipped you can really see the chocolate and silver coming in. His family wrote:

Here’s Rufus before and after his haircut. ( summer groom). I keep saying ‘it’ll grow!’ I love him long and messy, but obviously not comfortable for summer. We are now attending a ‘beginner’ obedience class. I think we may go ‘novice’ after that. And I have him booked for his neuter on May 5.

—————————————————————

Rufus is one of Dane and Cesar‘s males (born August 9, 2014) who now lives in Saskatoon. Looks like not only is he changing color right on schedule but he has passed puppy obedience. Everyone is raving about their puppy so all is well in my heart! His family wrote:

Here’s Rufus at his puppy grad, and then wanting to play fetch. He’s a little pushy. But a good communicator , dropping his bone directly on my lap.

Rufus (Calgary)

This is the Calgary Rufus. He is from Winnie and Cesar, and was born May 12, 2014. His full brother same litter in Edmonton also got the name Rufus. Is sounds like Rufus and his human brother, Carson, have a lot of good quality time together. It is great to get pictures of them and compare the similarities and the differences. His family wrote:

Things are going great with us, Rufus fits in perfectly. He gets out for a walk and the dog park everyday he isn’t quiet sure about the water yet but slowly but surly I’m sure he will get used to it. He is growing so fast I only realized now as I was picking out some pictures. Carson and Rufus act like brothers they are always playing, sometimes a bit too rough but they are both learning how far they can go. Rufus is completely kennel trained which is one of the best things you advised us to do, It is a life saver. We actually go to the dog park with a golden doodle named ozzy, they got him from you a year ago.

Oso

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

Now this is the kind of report that makes my heart sing! ‘Oso’ is one of Dory and Cesar’s males born July 26, 2014, and I vividly remember Vic’s wife did not want a dog. Obviously Oso was a great choice! I have written in my book when he was only a few weeks old, ‘laid back’ and he certainly is playing the part. I am thrilled to get this update as I hadn’t heard how this pup was doing. Thanks Victor, you definitely brightened my whole week! Oso’s family wrote:

He has been an exceptional puppy (and now dog), this is my wife’s first dog ever and I keep telling her that she should not think that all dogs are like him. To put things in context, Oso only had one accident in our house! He’s playful without being out of control. He cries when he gets hungry (which is fair!) and sometimes when he is put in the kitchen when his paws are wet but otherwise he’s super chill and quiet. Yes, he had destroyed his beds (2 already) but he has not touched any of our furniture, shoes or whatnot, he understands which are his toys and he doesn’t touch anything else. We have found a solution for his bed which seems to be working well so far. He’s not aggressive by any stretch and what has been the most important thing for us is that he’s the best running buddy! There has been a few runs when I have taken his leash off and he had run right beside me! I have had dogs before and I know Oso’s behavior is not the norm! Long story short, we are very happy with Oso, as I told you earlier, Oso is my wife’s first pet ever and she was a bit nervous at first, but she is just being spoiled with such a well behaved dog that she thinks having a dog is super easy! The one and only problem we have with him, it is impossible to get mad at him!

—————————————————————

It seems this entire litter had a reoccurrence of worms, which is a common puppy thing but is usually cleared up by two dewormings by the time they are 8 weeks old, apparently this didn’t work with this litter as this is the third pup that I have been told had worms. I am thinking maybe one of the dewormers was past expiry date as I never have this problem, now I can’t say that. I usually write on the envelope to have them dewormed again when they go for spay or neutering and that they should get their rabies booster at that time. I keep my dogs on a regular deworming program to avoid this. Just like horses and cats, dogs need to be dewormed regularly. Oso’s family wrote:

Oso (that’s how we ended up naming him) is doing great.During the first few days at home we realized that he had worms (a lot of them), we took him to a vet right away and he was given a de-wormer. Since then he has grown like crazy and he has been way more active. He has also been great in the house, in terms of accidents, he had only pooped once inside the house, he had peed a couple of times but no accidents in the last few days. so all in all he has been a really easy puppy to have! He’s also great on the leash AND off the leash. We are really happy to have him and i think he’s happy too (I hope)

Mojo

Here is a new picture of Mojo. Thanks for the update!

———————————————————————————

MoJo in his new farm home near Portage. He is from Dinah and Cesar‘s last litter born Sept. 7, 2013. I would love to hear how his siblings are doing, they are Lilly, Gracie, Devron, Leon, Beans, Hank, and Lefty. I would be thrilled to see pictures and hear how they are doing in their new family. Mojo is a companion to Nathan, a special needs child.  His family wrote:

This is not a clear picture but Nathan is sick and wanted me to cuddle on couch with him. Then Mojo also needed to cuddle and for the first time Nathan laughed.! Was really great!!  We love Mojo!

Lizzie (White City)

This is Lizzie, one of Dallas and Cesar‘s females from July 1st, 2014. I am sharing these in hopes of receiving an update on some of her siblings. I sincerely love to hear how my pups are doing with their forever family. Lizzie lives in White City with her young couple. She is an only child and very loved. I was thrilled to get these great pictures. Her family provided some captions for the photos:
