MINNIE MC GUINNESS aka Gunny, Minnie Mac or Guinness..by whatever name...

It was just meant to be. I had been talking to my breeder friend whose program produced Gunny and asked if 'Teal Girl' had been sold yet. To my surprise, she had not. So, I asked to buy her as a breeding prospect. I had just received news that my chocolate/cafe girl was not going to meet my breeding requirements and my only other chocolate DNA girl was about to retire. This lovely chocolate Cockapoo was the perfect replacement to add new DNA to my existing Labradoodle lines.

The nickname 'Gunny' kept popping into my head, so I use it although Minnie McGuinness seems to suit her very well as it means  'a small tankard of brown ale'.  :+)

Gunny is a miniature who will most likely top out around 25 lbs. She is destined to be a part of my miniature lines as I move forward in my program.  We decided to keep Gunny with us here at ADNE.

I love her stocky build and lush, non-shedding coat.

Happily, Gunny sleeps through the night in her little bed till about 6:30 am. She uses the dogie door all the time and knows 'sit and down'. The command 'come' is somewhat reluctant with quite a bit of 'army crawling' and sometimes it is accompanied with a flip on the back which begs for a belly scratch. Fetching is an odd game of  'Yes, let's play but I want to keep the ball, ok?'

A hearty eater, I always have to watch that she does not try to wrangle some extras from the rest of the crew's bowls. Gunny is not an excessive barker but she will join in with the rest of the crew when so inclined. Gunny loves to take a nap on the couch cuddled very close to you. Other times, she is my foot warmer. I love her easy care coat but it does grow quickly!
