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

These are Doe Dee’s F1B Golden Doodle pups born March 27th., 2011.  Their father is Pluto.  These pictures were taken April 17, making them three weeks old….they are all available at this time.   There are 2 apricot males (one light and one darker), 1 apricot female, 3 black males and 1 black female.   These pups will be advertized in one week on kijiji and in the papers in four provinces, so if you would like first pick now is the time to tell me.

Pluto

Pluto, a black Standard Poodle (starting to grey) was born October 15, 2003.   This fellow is the prince of dogs.  He weighs about 45 lbs. and is 21 inches at the wither.  He is a bit slighter in build than Einstein (apricot Standard Poodle), his partner in my Doodle breeding program.   This is one of the most loyal dogs I have ever owned.  If a bear came onto our farm this guy would give his life to protect me.

Pluto is an extremely graceful dog.  If he was a person he would have been a ballerina.  When he has his runs he entertains me with jumping over anything laying around, runs through all the kennel areas to stir up some barking and then runs back like he has played a huge joke on me.   He will also die of old age here!

I could not be prouder of my boys.  Pluto was my first Standard Poodle and I loved him the minute I met him.  He had not been handled enough and they told me he was hard to catch, so he spent the first two weeks here kenneled, leashed or tied and was given lots of attention.  After two weeks I bravely turned him loose, he ran and ran, around and around the building area of the farm.  I sat on a chair and waited, he would circle closer and closer to me and finally when he was done he came and put his head in my lap.   When you get a pup that is one of the things I tell people not to do… do not chase your pup or dog, sit down and let it come to you and then praise it and give it lots of petting (and of course do this in a fenced area so you do not have a disaster).

Pluto is a very mild mannered dog and very smart and obedient…I can not say enough good about this boy and his offspring follow suit.

Einstein

Einstein is one of my two Standard Poodles.  He and Pluto, my black Standard Poodle, are an unbeatable combination when producing F1B Golden or Labra Doodle pups.  These boys have made me proud to be a dog breeder!

Einstein is his farm name, in real life he is ‘Hammids Eequalsmc Squared’, a registered Standard Poodle, born November 23rd. 2005.  My hat is off to his breeder as she knew what she was doing to produce a Poodle this correct with an intelligent, outstanding personality.  He was shown at one time and believe me he is much happier here in his work clothes with his girls.

Einstein is not a big Standard Poodle as far as Standards go, he weighs about 45 lbs. and is 21 inches at the wither.  He has a very tight curly coat where Pluto has what I call dreadlocks when his coat gets longer.  The combination produces a variety to please every buyer.

Einstein is a ladies man.  He likes to check out all the girls (whether they are in his harem or not) on his run, and always, without fail, comes back when he is done and sits at his kennel gate to be let back in.   This guy is a real gentleman with his ladies and is another that will die here with me of old age!  Hopefully we all have a few good years left in us.

Darby

[stream flv=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/darby_240p.flv img=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/darby.png hd=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/darby_360p.flv mp4=x:/furfettishfarm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/darby_iPhone.m4v embed=false share=false width=640 height=360 dock=true controlbar=over bandwidth=high autostart=false responsive=16:9 /]

Darby scored an excellent retirement home on a ranch near Drayton Valley, Alberta. She has one of my Jack Russells as a buddy and apparently the barn cat….she loved the barn cats here and always let them sleep with her pups, so I’m glad she has a cat as a friend now.

———————————————————————-

Darby is now on a Ranch near Drayton Valley, Alberta.   Darby’s forever home is with a family that I have known for 25 years and have placed two Jack Russell’s with, so I am very happy that this will be Darby’s forever home!  Her new family told us:

Darby is doing great so far.  The family love her.  Grace was a little worried about petting her due to the ticks, but I assured her the ticks (and I haven’t noticed anymore) would not jump or willingly let loose of Darby.  After that, Grace loved and petted her lots.

She is such a playful dog.  Yes, she has smiled.  We love her already.

———————————————————————————–

Today I am sad to say I have probably given Darby her last clip.  She is going for spay on May 22nd and home to recover and then on to her forever home….. people ask me how hard it is to sell my pups after so much of me goes into them…. not nearly as hard as letting one of my adult girls go!   I was there when this girl was born, I was there when her mother and grandmother were born and to me this is the saddest part of what I do for a living.   This is where I remind myself how many families I have made happy by placing one of my pups into their home to be a cherished member of their family.

I know I will get to see Darby again as I know where her new family are…. and this is why I do not ‘give’ one of my retired dogs to people I don’t know that just want a free dog.   Darby has, in my eyes, been my most outstanding F1 Golden Doodle, she will be a hard act to follow!   The downside of this bloodline has been the huge litters, the older I get the harder they are.   You would not believe how fat this girl is and she just weaned 14 pups…. I however, am 30 lbs. lighter!   I will miss this girl, she was so easy, not a barker, not a digger and it is not going to be the same doing chores without her smiles to greet me.

———————————————————————————–

Darby Doodle extraordinaire, in my eyes this is my best F1 Golden Doodle.  She is the daughter of Kayden and Pluto and was born May 2nd., 2007.   She has had 2 litters of F1B Golden Doodles, fathered by Einstein, that rank at the top in my eyes for pups produced.   She will be bred the same way and should whelp in August or September 2011.   I took Darby to obedience classes and she did very well placing 5th in a class of 17.  Two of the dogs that took 1st and 3rd were pups from my breeding program, so I did not mind being beat.  Three of the top five dogs that placed were from here.

Darby is another of my girls that will hang around with me all day when I work outside, I have a combination of girls that can run for hours together when I am outside, Darby is always in that group.   She has excellent confirmation and produces very outstanding pups that are gentle, well put together lovable, loyal characters.

Darby weighs 50 lbs. and is 21 inches at the wither, so not a huge girl.  She does, however, have a full sister named Sophie that matured at 65 lbs. and is 23 inches at the wither.  Sophie is a longer legged girl with a bit more spring of rib and a most lovable personality.  Sophie is extremely smart, and knows tons of tricks….I get to visit her a few times a year and she knows who I am.  It is always such a bonus to me when I actually get to see and pet the ‘fruits of my labor’.

Dezi

Dezi is a grey F1 Golden Doodle.  She was born black but her first clip showed she was really grey.  I do not know if she will pass this on to her pups.   Dezi was born February 23rd. 2009.  Her father is Pluto, my black Standard Poodle, and her mother is Kamryn, one of my original Golden Retrievers.

This girl is super gentle and kind, with great confirmation.  She matured on the smaller side, weighing about 45 lbs. and about 21 inches at the wither.   She whelped with her first litter on March 27th and has only two pups available:  one black male and one black female.  The father to these F1B Golden Doodle pups is Einstein (apricot Standard Poodle), so, if I was a betting girl, I would bet these will be the smaller of the F1B Golden Doodles I produce this year.   Both Dezi and Einstein are slighter built so these should not be big dogs…about 50 lbs. tops for weight and 21 to 22 inches at the wither for height.

Dixie

Dixie is now retired and living happily with a family near Springside. Her new family wrote:

Dixie is adjusting to her life here. She is still shy around us but is warming up slowly. I love her quiet personality at night though. She loves to be off her chain and explore our farm. The kids love to take her for walks on the leash.

———————————–

Dixie is an F1 Golden Doodle from Kelli, one of my original Golden Retrievers.   I owned Kelli’s mother Bailey, also, and Kelli’s father is a Platinum blonde Golden Retriever owned by Telford Kennels who produced some pretty outstanding pups in his day.

Dixie’s father is Pluto, my black Standard Poodle and she was born February 1st. 2006, she will have her last litter this fall and then be retired to a farm or acreage home.   Dixie has the poorest hair coat of all my Doodles but the best confirmation.  She produces very good quality pups with non shedding coats that are wavy rather than curly.

This bloodline is outstanding for temperament and confirmation.  The only fault that they had was producing extremely large litters which was hard on them and me.   Dixie seems to have skipped that gene and has had normal sized litters (she came from a litter of 14, as did Kelli).   Dixie is the girl that will let me know if someone has arrived or the cows or horses are out.  When she barks, something is happening outside!  Once she knows I have been alerted, she settles down.  There have been a few times that we would have been chasing critters if she hadn’t let us know they were out!  She is not a wanderer, although she loves to go to the pasture and see if there are any gophers out (but has never caught one that I know of).  She uses her free time to scout out the farm with our cow dog “Mudflap” and then comes back and waits to be put in her pen.   This girl is crazy about kids and gets really excited when there are kids that come to visit.  I am hoping to place her on a farm or acreage home with children when she retires this fall.

Doe Dee

Doe Dee and Dinah are full sisters, same litter, born March 13th, 2008. They are half sisters to Kianna as they have the same mother, Katie. Doe Dee and Dinah are from my Apricot Standard Poodle Einstein, making them F1 Golden Doodles. Neither of them shed, they do however have to be clipped at least twice a year. I really want them to go together as they have been together their entire life, they will be six in March and each has had three litters of awesome F1B Golden Doodle pups. Doe Dee is the apricot and Dinah is the blonde in the pictures.

Both these girls have the Doodle trait of smiling, especially if they think they are in trouble. Dinah is more of a barker than Doe Dee but they only bark if something is amiss, like the horses or cows are out, or something is in the yard, then they are quiet when told. My advise would be to tie both for a few days, then let one go and take turns tying them for about two weeks, by then they will have it figured out that this is their new home. They are both gentle with kids and their favourite thing is to be fussed over, petted or brushed. These girls have done their job here now and are looking to me to find them the right forever home on a farm or acreage, I am asking half the price of their spay, they are all healed up and have all shots up to date, so I would like $200 each to assure my dogs are not going to be resold or abused in any way. This is incredibly hard to let them go, but I can’t keep all my dogs and they deserve their own family now. Please text 306 521-1371 or call 306 792-2113 or use my contact page.

Doe Dee is an F1 Golden Doodle, born March 13th., 2008.  I kept her and her full sister Dinah from this litter.  Her mother is Katie (Golden Retriever) and her father is Einstein (apricot Standard Poodle).   I have three Golden Doodles that I kept back from Katie, and one Golden Retriever.  Katie has such a gentle personality and good solid build that is was hard not to keep more from her bloodlines.

Doe Dee was bred to Pluto and whelped with her first litter March 27th.  Her litter of F1B Golden Doodles has 7 fat cuddly little characters: 1 apricot male, 2 apricot females, 3 black males and 1 black female.   Their eyes are open now and they are starting to play with me when I give them their cuddle time (this is my little bit of heaven, play time mixed with work time).   These pups bring a lot of joy to me and later will bring joy to the new family that adopts them.  These pups need to go to forever homes where they will dedicate themselves with love and loyalty; many years of being a member of the family lay ahead for each of these little characters.  This year my girls have produced the best selection of pups yet.  My pups are health guaranteed for two years for hips, elbows, ears and eyes for anything hereditary and I am here to advise on training or health issues.

Doe Dee is excelling at mothering her pups and is really impressing me with her dedication to this ‘job at hand’.  These pups should mature at about 55 to 65 lbs.  and will be non shedding.

Daisy

Here are some new pictures of Daisy and Nathan.

————————————————————————-

Daisy had a little excitement recently. When I place my retired dogs I make sure they have a current rabies tag on them so if something were to happen they can be traced to my beloved Melville Vet Clinic and I can track down the new owner and find out what happened that the dog was running at large. Happy ending to this saga but not until I had spent a whole night worrying that she wasn’t happy there. I know some of my dogs come looking for me, she would have had a very long trek as she lives near Portage La Prairie now with her new family. She is a companion dog for Nathan who has some mental issues. I am glad to say she is back where she is supposed to be today. She looks happy enough to be waiting for Tina to prune bushes, with no leash attached. They told us:

Daisy is ok and safe with us. I had put her on my deck, on leash. She chewed it and ran to neighbors. She really likes to be with people all the time!! She has figured out how to escape her wire kennel now but I tied it shut last night so she stayed put. That’s not her favorite spot by no means. We laugh at her because she won’t win so she might as well just give in now and save her energy. Her & I are in yard trimming \ pruning my shrubs. She’s happy!!

—————————————————————

Daisy has gone to her new home, she is a companion dog for Nathan who lives on a beautiful farm near Portage La Prairie. She and Nathan hit it off right away and they are now inseparable buddies. Nathan gave me a big hug before I drove away, it is very hard for me to let my retired females go but she has a very important job to do now and that is what I like, happy endings. Her new family wrote:

Life is Grand! We are fortunate to have lovely Miss Daisy living with us. Are you sure she’s not house trained haha….she is very ladylike! She hates her kennel, doesn’t stop barking in there, but I’ll win the battle. She loves our deck, it has gates that we keep closed. She’s part of the action all day with boys in the pool, meal times etc. She seems to love us especially me!

—————————————————————–

Daisy is an F1 Golden Doodle from Katie (Golden Retriever) and Pluto (black Standard Poodle), born January 4, 2007.   Daisy is my slightest built Golden Doodle and she produces smaller pups.   She has just had her second litter.  Last year she did not get pregnant, this year she whelped April 9th.  Her litter of 8 F1B Golden Doodles has 3 black females, 2 black males, 2 apricot males and one apricot female.  The father of these pups is Einstein, my apricot Standard Poodle….I estimate that Daisy’s pups will mature at about 50 lbs. and be quite curly.

Daisy has a very quiet temperament and has one of those ‘just happy to be here’ personalities.  She is a real home body.  No matter who she is loose with for her run, she sticks close to the house…although these dogs are allowed to go to the field and corrals to look for gophers to chase, Daisy chooses to stick with me…this is how Katie (her mother) was.  A real people dog, loyal, gentle and very obedient and an easy to be around kind of dog, quick to pick up on what it is that you want her to do.

Dinah

Yesterday Dinah got her 2014 Spring haircut, she feels so much better. This clip takes about 4 hours so we hope her new owner appreciates how great she looks after all winter’s growth is removed.

Doe Dee and Dinah are full sisters, same litter, born March 13th, 2008. They are half sisters to Kianna as they have the same mother, Katie. Doe Dee and Dinah are from my Apricot Standard Poodle Einstein, making them F1 Golden Doodles. Neither of them shed, they do however have to be clipped at least twice a year. I really want them to go together as they have been together their entire life, they will be six in March and each has had three litters of awesome F1B Golden Doodle pups.

This gentle soul is Dinah, my F1 Golden Doodle.  Her mother is my now retired Blonde Golden Retriever “Katie” who now lives on an acreage near Riding Mountain Park in Manitoba.  Her father is Einstein, my Apricot Standard Poodle.  I broke my own rule with Dinah and her full sister (same litter) Doe Dee, I only separated them briefly as pups and then put them back together.  They are very strongly bonded to each other.   I got sick and spent a lot of time in the hospital so they remained kenneled together.  They were three in March and have just recently had their first litters.   With these two girls I was not in a rush to get them bred as they seemed to want to be puppies longer than the norm, likely due to having their sibling with them full time.   Both Dinah and DoeDee weigh about 55 lbs. and are about 22 inches at the wither.  Their mother, Katie, was my shortest Golden Retriever but also my stockiest.

Dinah is blonde, curly, does not shed but does get the occasional matt (which I just pluck out) between clippings.  These are farm raised dogs that go for runs down to the corrals and play in the yard when I am in my flower beds or painting, so they get clipped to the hide twice a year.  They need clipping now but due to this colder than usual spring they are still in full winter coat, only the tummies and back ends are clipped to make it easier for pups to nurse.

On April 9th., Dinah whelped her first litter, they are F1B Golden Doodles, they are from Pluto, my Black Standard Poodle.   She is an awesome mum and has 6 fat little characters: 2 black males, 2 black females, 1 apricot male and 1 apricot female…talk about an even litter.   When I sit with her pups she actually smiles at me, she is beside herself with pride at what she has done and watches every move I make with her puppies.   She was very worried when I took them, three at a time, to remove dew claws.   She stays with them very well (some mothers don’t) and keeps them spotless.   These pups will be an awesome kids dog as they have gentleness bred deep into their bloodlines and are from very intelligent, loyal and clean stock with great confirmation.
