I Changed My Mind

If you checked out the website this weekend and looked at it again in the last few minutes, you see I added a planned breeding but have already changed it. With Diamond taking a self imposed break, I've had to rearrange the breeding "schedule" and Emy and Peri are probably going to come in season at the same time or very close to each other. Originally, I thought I'd breed both to Sparky. However, after thinking about it for a day or two, I decided if I'm going to have two litters around the same time, I'd like them to be as different as possible in the looks department! And if one has smaller pups over all than the other, that will help too. So I'm going to repeat last year's Emy/Boon litter. That's my reasoning. Now watch... ALL the pups will be blond and about the same size!

Playing "fetch" at the dog park. Please note that this particular "park" is on top of a high rise! Now, that thought had never occurred to me. And if a building owner was smart (!) the roof would have grass and trees (if only in pots) and actually look like a park.
Then, after wearing herself (and Marna) out, ONE of them gets to relax.

Moving Right Along

Now that all the Diamond/Brogue pups have found a home, even if they haven't been able to get out of here yet, I'm looking forward to the next litter. Diamond is already in season again... about 2 weeks ahead of schedule (no, I'm not breeding her...) so I have high hopes that Cotton and Emy will be following suit VERY shortly. And then there is Keogh. She usually brings up the rear as she tends to have a longer cycle. IF everything goes as I plan (and we know how that has worked out in the past...) it will be Cotton first (she's not come back in since her May litter,) then Em, then Ke AND I'm going to try breeding all 3. They should be spaced out enough to keep it interesting, but not overwhelming. I can remember when having 3 litters at once was all in a day's work!

I will let you know when the girls come in and when each gets bred (positive thinking here) AND will open each reservation list about 5 weeks after the matings.

For Keogh's miniature/medium Goldendoodle pups, the reservation list is already open. There are a lot of Goldendoodles out there and even though 3 of her pups are already spoken for, I want to have as many promised as possible before they get here. Her first, and only litter, was 6 which was considerably fewer than I was expecting since she comes from a litter of 12 or 13. I'd really be happy with just another 6. Especially if they are as sweet as the first gang!

In the meantime, I'm working on a couple new articles for the website... one on in/line breeding and one on puppy personalities (while they're still with the litter) as well as some addition info on things like pricing and the initial adjustment period after you get your pup... basically responses to questions I get fairly often.

The website will be updated periodically... whenever anything happens.
