| Abner and his guardian mom. |
Instead of keeping a female from the Hazel x Emmett litter, I kept Lil' Abner. Initially, he was not my 'first choice', he just grew on me. I loved his temperament, size, tail and ear set. He has expressive eyes and a very loving nature. Abner likes to be with you and is a willing and energetic learner.
I think Lil' Abner will be a great addition to the my program as well as to other Labradoodle stock lines. I enjoy his guardian family very much as they are so committed to maintaining the level of quality my buyers come to expect from my program.

What Abner's guardian has to say about him:
I am absolutely thrilled that Lil' Abner is part of our family. He is a happy go lucky boy who is always up for a snuggle or a game of fetch. He prefers being by your side to anywhere else.
At 20 pounds, he is easy to pick up and put in the car; easy to bath and doesn't take over the sofa when he sits next to you. At the same time, he is perfectly capable of long walks and playing ball with amazing speed. We call him rocket dog because he is so fast!
His very soft curly coat is easy to take care of with a quick brush once a day which he enjoys. He will go get his brush and drop it at my feet when he wants to be groomed.
Abner is really everything I wanted in a dog for my daughter. He is great with kids and other dogs; he is the happiest dog I know. His tail is always wagging.
He sired his first miniature litter with Rose of Tralee at Nestlewood Labradoodles and they were the cutest little guys on the planet! Big personalities in a small package for sure.
Full of confidence and personality, Abner is available for stud service to well tested females.

ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. It was pretty much one of those things where between my interactions with him and my trainers input that I felt he was 'the keeper' in this litter. I hope he passes testing well, I know his temperament is fabulous. Yes, those ears are so adorable!
