A big, brown bear came to visit today. :+)

I know that many of you have been here and have met, in person, Miss Annabelle. However, pics of the pups' dad have not been many except for what is on my website. So, Master Rumple Sticks came for a visit and this big, brown bear is a site to behold. Of course, his guardians wanted to get him all 'dolled up', but I asked them not to so you could see what a wavy, fleece coated Australian/American Labradoodle looks like in FULL coat.


Although you can't see his eyes, Rumple has a beautiful face with a long flowing moustache and his 'trademark' white beard.













He is a good sitter. :+)











I took this one outside so you can see his wonderful movement and coat in true light.








Here is a better pic of his head and coat. I had handfulls of his glorious fur to snuggle with. It is soooo very soft and lush. A coat like Rumple's is VERY prized. People that enjoy dogs with long 'hair' prefer this type of coat. Others, admire the curly coats and keep them short.

I have been blessed to own 3 types of coats - the fleece like Rumple & Willis; the soft loopy wool like Annabelle and the curly soft wool blend like Harriet.


This give you a good idea of his size. My husband owns a Ford 150 truck and he does not have big tires on it. Rumple is just about the height of the bumper.
