When is the next litter?

Hello to those that call and send me emails! I would love to tell you that a litter is coming, but my three 'prospects' are really giving me a run for my money! They are in cahoots with Mother Nature and they are torturing me with these 'cycle' games!

It appears Cadbury has decided to skip her cycle! What a nerve!!! I was so looking forward to having some outstanding cafe's and apricots from this girl. Chico did his best to woo her, but she simply refused the invitation. :+( We are hoping, with a bit of wine and roses, she may change her mind at the next invite. Perhaps a spring/summer litter '10.


Next in the mating game is Clara Belle. A delightful lady of soft curls the color combo of a cream sickle - YUM! We are hoping that Chico will be able to 'sweep her off her paws' when they meet, hopefully in late July or August. I am expecting apricot/red with cream partis and some solids with perhaps a bit of white on their heads or tails. Cute as fall pumpkins I bet!


Also on this dance card is Olive Oyl. We are again looking at Chico to do a great 'tango' and produce some silky, shiny blacks and deeper red/apricots. What a performance that will be!! Although these coats may shed just slightly, the type of coat will be phenomenal and easy to maintain. My favorite doodle to groom here. :+) I am expecting her to cycle around the same time as Clara Belle (who is her litter sister!).


So it appears I could have three girls cycling at the same time, or they will have pity on me and give me a bit of space between them so that I won't have to make choices as to whom to breed when.

On a positive note, this will be my first summer in 6 years that I am not tied to the puppy room! I am looking forward to some gardening, taking my doodles to the beach and simply enjoying the sun and freedom of summer. :+)
