Always smiling.
Beautiful 'Holiday Figgy Puddin' was mated successfully to Tango Wool's Copeland Rodeo aka Cooper.  A stunning litter is expected sometime in mid June.   An ultra sound will be done in approximately 30 days for confirmation purposes.

This mating will produce blacks and cream or apricots with fleecy coats.  There is a possibility that silvers or blues may also be in the color scheme due to Figgy being a 'Lavender' dilute.  Color genetics are quite complicated and there are not tests for every combination so we happily take whatever combos Mother Nature provides.

These pups should have lovely conformation in a medium in size with fabulous temperaments.  The weight range will be roughly 32 to 35 lbs. and height 18 to 19 inches.

Figgy Puddin


16 weeks of age - cafe`.







Olive welcomed her litter to the world on New Year's day, so it was fitting that I name my potential keeper Holiday Figgy Puddin` after the song 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!'
Figgy at 2 yrs. - Lavender.

She is a delightful ragamuffin whose loose, fleecy coat just blows like a tumbleweed in the wind.  It is so soft and cuddly, just like her personality.  Figgy is very close to her guardian mom and  just loves to wake her up in the early morning with kisses and snuggles.
                                          

Figgy has a gourmet palate and is fed such a wonderful diet of vegetables, fruits, fish and other meat and cheese delectables.  Rarely does this girl get anything that is not organic or fresh and she is not fussy at all.

Several times a day Figgy walks with her dad and enjoys the sights and sounds of the country.  She is attentive to all things big and small and would love to chase the little wild things that hover about.  She is very good with other dogs and is a people lover through and through. 

Groomed at one year turning Lavender.
12 weeks old.

I truly look forward to her litters as she is my first breeding hopeful from my Cockapoo infusion mating.  Figgy is a perfect example of what that combination brings to the Labradoodle world. 







Words from her guardian:


Figgy moved in with us April 2011.  She has been an amazing addition to our family.  Each morning when she awakes from her spot in our bedroom, she gives a big stretch and heads outside for a walk
with Jim.  Jim and Figgy are the morning risers in our family and I stay behind to catch a little more sleep.   If the bedroom door is left open when they return, I am awakened by a Figgy Muppet.  She starts at the end of my bed and walks.. hops... the whole length of it until she can reach me to give some Figgy love.

Dress up at 6 weeks.






Figgy is a kind, sweet soul with lots of doodle energy.  I know this term is over used but she really is a "fur" person in our family.  She has fit in like she has always been here.  She loves to play, but is just as happy hanging out and watching TV with us which is quite amusing because she actually DOES watch the television.  

She loves company and greets every guest like they are truly here just to see her.  She likes to be where we are.  If we are in the kitchen she is too.  But she is not usually demanding, she just likes to be with her family.  Jim, Zack and myself are very happy that we added Miss Holiday Figgy Pudding into our lives and family.
