Eloise is not pregnant. :+(

A sad day for me and Miss Ellie as her ultra sound showed there are no puppies growing.  My hope is that we will be successful at her next cycle which will be sometime in November.  The entire vet's office was disappointed as they all adore Eloise and are excited to see her teeny babies if and when she may have them!

So onward and upward with a hopeful mating from Figgy and Rodeo!  The couple should be honeymooning this upcoming week so I am optomistic.  :+)

 

This is Miss Eloise Moppet and one of her guardians.  Please excuse her dampened hairdue, as I had just spritzed her head after a slight trim.  Eloise is under 9 lbs.  She is a foot tall and 14 inches long.  This is a tiny American Labradoodle!   Her color, like most reds, has diluted to a pale apricot.  It is still soft and lovely and they keep her in wonderful shape.  Thank you ladies!!

At this time, I am still researching and keeping a file on possible studs.  She is so adorable and I am sure there is a 'micro' Labradoodle stud out there SOMEWHERE!

Eloise stands like this naturally.  She is wonderfully proportioned.  She would be right at home in a show ring!  If she has babies, it will be my very first line of Micro Mini Labradoodles.  Very exciting possibility!

Yep, she rules supreme.  :+)

Eloise Moppet

10 wks. old.

Oh my goodness, Miss Eloise Moppet!!!  What a shock I had when I went to pick up this delightful munchkin.  I knew Eloise was going to be small but I really thought her breeder made a mistake when he wrote down her weight, he did not.  I could barely find her in the tiny crate.  When I got home, however, and finally got her out, my husband and I looked at each other and instantly said - 'Oh...... how adorable are you'?  Eloise is the most charming lady (in furs) that you will ever have the pleasure of meeting.  Her personality is calm, friendly, playful, intelligent, focused, compliant with just enough mischief to make you laugh often.

Ellie at 16 weeks.

Everyone who meets Eloise falls in love with this 'Thumbelina' version of a Labradoodle.  For lack of an official size category, I am calling her a 'Micro Labradoodle'.  At 8.5 lbs. +/-, what else fits??? 

Eloise at 2 years old.

Ellie has a lot of Poodle in her genes but her grand dam was a very small Labrador of just 40 lbs., so considered very small for her breed.  Her grand dad was a Toy Poodle and it is very obvious, Miss Ellie takes after her Poodle side.  In any language, Eloise Moppet is the 'cat's meow' (and just as big!).  Although Jaxon had been her initial intended stud, he grew too big for such a tiny girl.  Hence,  I made the sad decision to have Eloise spayed and retired with never having a litter.  Finding a qualified, micro mini, well tested stud to use with her became an overwhelming obstacle.  It is more important to me to allow her guardians to spay her and be the Little Princess she is without dealing with all the hormonal effects of remaining intact.


What her guardians say about Eloise:

Eloise at about 1 yr.

Although Ellie is only 8.2 pounds and approximately 12 inches tall, she has a big dog's heart in a tiny body. Ellie Belly is snugly and sweet but she has tons of energy and loves to play. She is wonderful with children and is a big hit with our 3 year old grandson and 15 month old granddaughter. She makes friends easily with humans and other pets and knows our neighbors better than we do. She loves to play with our nine year old cats and is particularly fond of our male cat, Charlie. 

Ellie loves to chase a ball or a little Frisbee but she also enjoys sitting near us when we watch TV or read. She will frequently go right up the the TV and bark when dogs come on the screen or a door bell rings on TV. 

  

She does well when she is home alone but prefers to be by our side at all times. We adore her and couldn't ask for a better friend.
