Looks like a spring litter may be in the making!!

It appears that PHOEBE RYE is cycling and we are preparing for a possible breeding!  Diesel is my preferred stud for her which should produce a multi colored litter of black, cream and chocolate puppies with white spotting!  Both Phoebe and Diesel carry the Parti gene, so we just might get lucky - VERY exciting!  Both mates are small mediums, so I expect the puppies to mature at about 23 to 28 lbs. and present themselves to the world come March - April if all goes well.

Of course, this all depends on Mother Nature!  Stay tuned!!  Those that have sent in applications should let me know if they are interested in this possible litter.  

Pics of these cuties is on the Home Page of my website.  :+)

SKIP TO MY 'LUCIE' PAGE

Ahhhhh...Lucie.  What a dear.  Adorable, affectionate, silly, sweet and such a looker!  How I LOVE doodles with white splashes - I find them almost 'not real' with their stuffed teddy bear look.  :+)  

Clary, Lucie's mom, would crack me up every time I saw her because her toothy grin of happiness always made me laugh out loud.  

And Lucie's daddy Hobbs?  Well, if there was ever a doodle that thought he was the mayor of his town - that would be Hobbs!!  Adored by the hundreds for his social graces and impossibly cute demeanor, Hobbs is the 'attraction' to many children, as well as adults, when he travels with his daddy's giant 'blow up' party and playground equipment business.  You simply cannot beat these temperaments!!

WORDS FROM HER GUARDIAN FAMILY:

"

Sweet and friendly best describe Lucie. Lucie loves pups and people and wants to greet them all, making new friends wherever she goes.  She heads out eagerly each day on a mission to see the world, her tail curled above her, waving jauntily like a flag in the breeze.

 

We met Lucie in the summer of 2021 when we embarked on a search for a non-shedding dog, which was necessary due to an allergy in the family. With the high demand for canine companionship at the time, finding any dog, much less a non-allergic one, was a challenge. 

Serendipitously, a friend reminded us she is a guardian home for a labradoodle sire (Hobbs), whose dam (Clary) had just had puppies. We contacted Joyce, who had a long waitlist for a regular purchase, but said she would consider us for a guardian home if she decided to keep one of Clary's puppies.

Of course, Joyce fell in love with Lucie and decided to place her for a guardianship. We fell in love with her as well, so thrilled not only to have a dog that met our requirements, but this particular beautiful & lovable pup.

You can see in Lucie's lovely demeanor that Joyce, the owner of Annabelle Doodles, does indeed breed for temperament. Trainable and eager to please, Lucie has been the perfect dog for our first-time dog owning family. We can not imagine our household without her cheerful, cuddly presence. From snuggling while a family member is reading a book, exercising with those on the move, to 'helping' clean the house, Lucie is in the thick of every activity. Always eager for adventure, she is at the door the minute we move toward it.

Life is not all play, Lucie takes her jobs very seriously, including making sure important personages do not go by our house unnoticed. Highly attuned to nuance, and sensing without actually seeing, Lucie has various responses depending on who is passing by. The UPS man, who leaves treats, is exciting; but when one of her friends is outside - she is over the moon with eagerness! A little critter, such as a squirrel, chipmunk, bird or rabbit, needs a special sort of warning as do visitors to our security-focused neighbor's house, who is thrilled   

to share the skills of a watchdog next door.

Lucie especially loves children and is always gentle. She is excellent at observing cues from both children and dogs as to when the other party wants to roughhouse, and when it is time for peaceful, calm interaction.

We feel so fortunate to have such a loveable, huggable, friendly pup. We are always being told by other dog owners how lucky we are to have her – like we don't know that!

WINNIE MC PHEE'S PAGE

When the Brinkley x Diesel litter was born, I was hoping there would be a female pup that was black as night as I REALLY wanted a black female to join our home.  I was thrilled when Winnie presented herself and stole my heart with her tiny flashes of white on her chin and chest just like her daddy.  I felt this litter would have the amazing temperaments of their parents and I was right.  :+)

As a young pup, Winnie had a wonderfully gentle and sweet nature - just what I was looking for.  Her coat of silky waves was an additional bonus.

She loves to snuggle with you and her 'bushy' muzzle is in my face giving me tiny kisses every morning like a fuzzy alarm clock.  :+)

Winnie continued to impress me with her sensitivity, willingness to respect and understand her place in our doodle hierarchy and follow the rules.  She loves most dogs as her nature is to follow, not lead.  She enjoys people once she feels comfortable and safe.  I like that she is discerning and does not run up to anyone and jump on them for attention. A pet peeve of mine!!

ADNE'S BELLAMY - Current Breeding Female.

An outstanding pup right from the getgo. I was thrilled with the results from the breeding of Tango Wool's Jonnie Cache of ADNE with ADNE's Hobbs. I just knew those two breeding doodles were a great match. I was not disappointed in the least! The litter had pups with beautiful phantom markings and gorgeous coat quality, but the one that tickled my fancy was a pretty, solid colored female with a coal black nose and beseeching eyes - BELLAMY! For those of you familiar with the French language 'Belle Ami' means beautiful friend - and that she is. :+) 

WORDS FROM BELLAMY'S GUARDIANS: 

We have been dog owners for 50+ years and always had large breed dogs but it was time to downsize. She is the perfect size - only 21 lbs. She is the sweetest and most loving girl. She loves to cuddle in our laps and watch tv or simply sleep. Bellamy gets along well with our three large cats, including a very large Maine Coon who isn't always very nice. Her best friend, however, is the chipmunk that she chases around and around in her yard. Bellamy is also very smart. She did well in obedience but LOVES agility. We think she must have springs in her legs as she loves the jumps! She is "Miss Congeniality" at the nursing home. She checks every open door and happily goes to anyone needing some TLC. At the end of the day though, she is still mommy's girl. Our home is busy with people coming and going but everyone, even those non-dog people, love Bellamy. She loves to ride. She can ride for hours and never a peep out of her. Her favorite ride is in the truck - nestled up against her Daddy. We are so blessed to have Bellamy. She is the joy of our lives.
