Olive's pups go home!

The first to go home was my sweet Purple Girl now called Tilly and doing super!

All have smiles over Orange Girl who is now named Olivia!

This chunky boy (Green) aptly named 'Moose' is happily giving several children lots of playtime.

The long ride from Long Island was worth every mile.  Teal Girl is now Hazel.

Kari and Theodore Rex.  What a perfect pair!

PIPER MOON is available for a Guardian Home!

Piper Moon was a 'chosen' pup from the moment of her birth.
However, there are more than good looks when I am looking for a pup
to add to my program.  Piper will need extensive testing and lots of socialization and
training before becoming a breeding girl for ADNE.  She has a soft and tender personality.

ARE YOU INTERESTED?

• Would like a local placement (within an hour or so of our location).
• Prefer a calm home with structure.
• Will bring Piper for socialization and obedience classes.  If Piper continues obedience courses and passes the class for  'Canine Good Citizen', I will reimburse you the fee for that particular class.
• Patience and kindness are a must!
• Your 'deposit' of $1,250.00 is returned at the end of our contract (three litters)
  if Piper becomes a breeder and she remains with you.
• Piper is yours to keep for the above fee if she is not bred (no refund) and you must spay her.
• Contact:   Joyce at 207-676-5579.  Let's talk!  :+)

The countdown begins for Olive's litter. (9 weeks!)

We are all loaded for our first pup shots at the vets!

Teal Girl with her 'fun' toy.  9.7 lbs.

Orange Girl pleads to be patted and cuddled.  10.4 lbs.

Green Boy anticipating an adventure.  10.5 lbs.

Purple Girl is a keeper.  Her name is Annabelle's Charming Prudence.  9 lbs.

This is Piper Moon, another keeper for ADNE.  10.3 lbs.

Red Boy, my pin up pup!  9.5 lbs.

This has been a very, very busy week here at Annabelle Doodles!  We started out with our vet visit on Friday.  I apologize for not getting a full shot of everyone.  :+(  The vet and vet techs loved them all and they were very good.

On Sunday, we took another trip to the Eye CERF vet in Lyman, Maine.  This was an eye clinic put on by another breeder and each of the pups had very good exams with the vet complimenting me on their outstanding behavior during the exam.  :+)

Tomorrow is THE BIG DAY when all of you get assigned your puppy!  The time has finally come!  Please be sure to check your phones for the news sometime in the afternoon.  To round out the crazy week, Tuesday they will all be microchipped, desexed and get their Health Certificates.

So enjoy Thanksgiving Day and I hope all are looking forward to the weekend to pick up their little bundles of furry joy!  

Olive 'teaching' her pups manners.

 

 

 

 

Olive has been spending quite a bit of time outdoors with her puppies.  She is training them in doggie behavior.  In some pics, the pups are laying down being very submissive.  In others she is intiating play.  It is very important for pups to have this interaction. 

It does not necessarily have to be the mother, any balanced dog can teach pups.   Annabelle goes in to play often as well.  Once in a while Harriet and Willis go in for a quick romp but Olive and Annabelle are 'frequent visitors'.

Wow! My choices are getting harder and harder to pick. Olive's pups at 8 wks.

Black Girl still makes my heart pitter patter. 9 1/2 lbs.

 

Purple Girl is sometimes cautious but loving, like her mom.   8 1/2 lbs. 

Green Boy holds conversations with me.  Most of the time it is 'When's dinner'?  10 lbs.

Orange Girl is sweet and loves to be close.... wants to be your best friend.  10 lbs.

Red Boy is very soft natured, a cuddler ....an animated Teddy Bear.  8 3/4 lbs.

Teal Girl is outgoing, sweet, social and loves life!   8 3/4 lbs.

If you have not already done so, it would be great if I received THREE of your preferences at this time.  Please do not list them in order as in #1, #2, etc.  I just want three collar colors (i.e. Red, Orange, etc.) I an NOT guaranteeing that the pup you are assigned is one of the three because we still have not done the second temperament test yet but I do like having a list to work from if the opportunity presents itself.  Please email me personally, not on the AnnaBlog.  Thanks!

Our First Snow! Yippeeee!!!!

This white stuff is fun!

Please do not lick the 'yellow' snow.

Yum!

Catch me if you can!

What is going on?

Follow the Leader!

'I hear deer snack on this stuff'.

Peek A Boo!

Am I cute, or what?

Look at the size difference between Purple and Green!!!

They had a blast in the play area!

The pups had their first exposure to the large play area that generally has lots of equipment out on it for them to play with.  (now put away)  However, they seemed to find plenty of things to explore as you will see in the following pics. 
They loved playing with all the leaves and pine needles.

Orange Girl was fascinated by something on the turf.  Leaves?  Pine Needles?

Teal Girl stood there just surveying the area for a bit - almost like saying.....wow, this space is huge! 

Black and Red playing with a branch.

Black Girl and Red Boy loved checking out the tire wall.

 

Purple Girl then challenged Red Boy for the branch.

This picture is a hoot!  It is Green Boy leaping and dancing with the plastic ball. 
I wish I had a video of it - he had so much fun!  

 

 

 

L to Rt.  Green Boy, Orange Girl and Teal Girl are ready for naps!

Time is rushing by like the wind! (7 wks.)

I finally finished doing the individual pics!  Whew!  The sun was going down and I had to do three repeats, but we got it done before the darkness descended.  I love the morning sunshine, but the early evenings are less welcomed. 

Lots going on for me this week beginning bright and early tomorrow morning with the pups' first temperament test!  This will tell me what I need to work on for each pup as an individual to help them become more well rounded.  When my trainer does the second one is when everyone knows who was matched to whom.  :+)  I know you are all patiently waiting.

Tuesday is a long day with my vets for routine testing on one of my studs and Thursday, I find out how many pups Pearl should be having.  Exciting stuff happening all over the place around here!
 

Teal Girl weighs 7 lbs. at 7 weeks.  A perfect score!!

Black Girl has always been on the heavy side and this week is no
exception.  At 7 wks., she is 8 lbs.  I think her head alone, weighs a pound!

Red Boy weighs 7 1/4 lbs. at 7 weeks.  Targeting to be his daddy's size.

Orange Girl is also a hefty 8 lbs. this week.  She is still a
gentle sole who loves attention.

Green Boy has the squishiest face!  He is 8 lbs. at 7 weeks.
At least this week you can see that he does have eyes!

Lastly, Purple Girl.  The smallest of the group at 6 1/2 lbs. 
Don't think she can't hold her own though!
