Our last, but certainly not least puppy -Purple Collared female, has hopefully found her forever home.
If we have any returns, due to re-homing situations we'll immediately post them to the blog, and we'll contact the last few request we've gotten first.
If you're still looking for a doodle don't give up. Ours have been great dogs--as most are, but we went labradoodle, because I always had big dogs around me. Grew up with big German Shepherds, and remember the 3 sequential ones I had as a kid, then college ages. I remember the Golden Retrievers that my parents, siblings and especially my older sister had.
I had my first lab, Ben when I was working at Cornell back in the early 90s.
He was awesome. I had a not so awesome, but still great buddy "Garth" a strong-willed bear-headed, intimidating, and at times too-aggressive, 90 pounder, -- but every bit of his bad self was a real dog.
Real dog... dumb guy thing, --needs to be big enough to give good side thumps to, and maybe wrestle, and mouth a little...
But back to doodles;
We had an oldest son with pet allergies, and he never had a dog, until we went the labradoodle route.
It really worked, he never had allergic reactions --eyes, nose stuff in our house.
Dogs stayed downstairs, people slept upstairs. So the doodle, a half "real dog" and a half poodle thing/ --kind of like eating quiche, and crepes and speaking French and stuff maybe. Remember that "American fries" thing. Poodle things/behaviors or idiosyncrasies, were fun to notice, especially with Millie. They are different, definitely smart, though that's hard to tell when Bart's tongue is hanging out of his mouth.
We had someone with strong dog allergies house sit for 4 nights. Our doodle mama, Millie, slept on the floor next to him by the couch, and he said that he never had a problem. Mind you there are houses he can't even go into that have regular (real dogs)...
They do shed a little bit, some, but very little compared to shepherds, labs and goldens, but they apparently have so little dander, that they can still be a good choice for some folks who otherwise can't be around other dogs.
This rambling post was basically a way to say that, we're plum out of puppies.
Thanks for reading this far, if you did, you might need a better cable plan :-)
