EMMETT PICCOLO - RETIRED AS OF 2/28/18 (FROZEN SEMEN AVAILABLE)

It was a last minute change in a contract that allowed me to keep Emmett and place him in a guardian home. Emmett was not only gorgeous as a puppy but was also a sweet, cuddly boy that loved meeting people and experiencing new things. The mating between Figgy Puddin and Tango Wool Rodeo was an excellent match - their pups were wonderfully tempered as well as beautiful.

The pic on the left is Emmett at 8 months, showing a handsome face, silky coat and friendly demeanor. His guardian was doing an excellent job of keeping him socialized and exercised which are critical in the first year.

This is Emmett at his home at 11 months old. I, as well as others, are very enthusiastically greeted by this handsome boy.

I love a doodle with great structure and Emmett is no exception. He stands well balanced and moves like the wind.  I am told 'he has springs in his feet'.


I adore the black and white pic on the left. Jane, his guardian, says he sits there often to look at who or what is walking down their street. I guess it is a form of entertainment for him.  The stuffed toy in his mouth makes this shot even cuter.  :+)






What his guardian has to say about Emmett:

'I knew Emmett was special even as a puppy. He was the smallest of the litter but he managed to do everything the big kids did. He had and still has great self confidence and determination.

He is such a great companion, spunky and mischievous but also so affectionate and cuddly. He gets along great with other dogs, especially the Wheaton Terrier around the corner who is his best friend and who is teaching him to swim in the river near our house.

When he goes from the deck to the backyard he doesn't bother with the 5 steps - just sails off the deck and takes off running. He seems to strut when he walks. Did I mention that he is gorgeous? His hair is curly but so silky and soft, and he has the absolutely cutest little face. He goes everywhere with me and is always interested in everything around him, he is smart but can be stubborn and sometimes a little bit bad. He has a great personality.  I can't imagine my life without him.'  Jane.
