My daughter has Piper Moon and spent the night with us catching up on a Mother's Day promise which included Gramps sitting our grandson while Heather and I went out to dinner and did some shopping. :+)
Piper also needed a bit of a trim. She has the prettiest coat which is even a better grade than Olive's, her mom. Piper's dad is Connecticut's Cowboy and his coat is fabulous.
Her coat looks like so many different tints depending on where the sun was. She is such a clone of Olive that it is very difficult to tell who was who unless you see the tails. Olive has a curly tail and Piper does not.
The tender, caring personalities are evident in both dogs, however. Piper is Heather's shadow as Olive is mine. So funny how these traits are passed on. I am always amazed at how much humans and canines can be so much alike on temperaments and physical quirks.
I expect Piper Moon to follow in her mom's tracks with regard to weight and height as well - at maturity 32 lbs. and 18 inches. Right now, at 8 months, Piper weighs 27 1/2 lbs. and is 17 inches tall. She has done most of her growing and will 'finish off' at a year or so.
So far, I am loving Piper's conformation. At a year, we will begin testing and see where she ends up. I am hoping as a breeding girl for our program; but if not, I know she has a wonderful home with owners who love her dearly which is why the Guardian Home concept so great. The dogs are always a pet first and foremost.
She is a love and just like her mom - HATES to have her toenails cut. I can't say I blame her!
Her standing pic on the left is an excellent example of a fine form. You could almost balance a glass of water on that topline!
She is stunning, but since she is Olive's daughter, that is not surprising! Haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Teds looks like the runt of the litter, he's in the low 20s! Still getting stopped on the streets. When will there be an Annabelle Doodles reunion??
ReplyDeleteGiven their dad is pretty small I am not surprised Ted is small. Olive and Piper look like twins.
ReplyDeleteAs far as a reunion, I don't think there will be one this summer unless Tillie did not get pregnant. I am taking a course, have two litters due, planning an East Coast Breeders Conference and helping with our son's baby shower for our new addition in late July.
:+)
Keeping busy as always! Well, maybe some time down the road. Watching Teddy run into other doodles is a hoot.
