My hectic 'dog' days will soon be a thing of the past (for a little while).

 

This morning I met Rafael's (Black Collar) new owners in Portland, Maine as I was also meeting Dublin's guardian for some testing and a visit.  Rafa's family pic has been added to the 'Going Home' post of Phineas x Muddie Pearl's litter and is a wonderful end to a great group of pups.

After Dublin had his 'perfect' heart exam, I enjoyed some tea at his home (which is beyond warm, inviting and gorgeous!) and wanted to share the above pic.  What a joy this large medium boy is.  So friendly and gentle natured.  His long, fluffy, curly soft coat is a lovely shade of light red or dark apricot depending on your eye.  Dublin is a lap dog and any lap will do - all 19 or 20 inches of him manage to drape on you.   :+)  

 

Our fingers are crossed that this hunky stud will be servicing our girls soon for solid medium puppies in shades of apricot, cream, red and black.   I do believe his 'dance card' will fill up quickly.

I had the pleasure of spending some time with our curly redhead Dublin today.

We are sure fortunate to have found a wonderful guardian for our solid 'American Idol' stud Dublin.  He indeed has a sparkle in his eye and a twinkle in his walk.  Cynthia, his guardian mommy, just adores this young man and he feels the same about her.  A wonderful site to see.

Guardian Home candidates make or break a breeding program for those of us that have the good fortune to use them instead of raising our dogs in a kennel environment.  Having a breeding potential live with a family doing all the normal activities provides a stable environment with lots of stimulous and benefits that dogs raised in kennels are devoid of.

Thank you, Cynthia for being there for me today.  You are invaluable to our programs.

Cynthia with Dublin.  Best buddies!

Why we love Dublin and pray he will be added to the programs of Tango Wool Labradoodles who 'created' him; Blueberry Cottage Labradoodles for giving him such a wonderful start on manners and training; and ADNE, who was lucky enough to get the call from Cynthia regarding his guardian placement.

For all three of our breeding programs, Dublin will bring the strength of a non-shedding coat, solidly boned medium to small standard sized puppies and intelligent companionship.

His temperament - loving, kind and gentle.

Yup, it is a non-shedding Poodle type coat, but there is no mistaking his Labrador boning!

Dublin's topline and conformation is as good as it gets.
