Well, Brinkley's babies are now in their new homes!

I had to wait until this morning's pick up so I could do them all at once.  One family was camping here in Maine and was heading south today.  They have another older ADNE doodle and wanted to add a second now that Daisy is all trained and will be a good model.  :+)

May I present the new ADNE families!!

I think you can recognize the family wanting a second doodle!  Arlo, who is sweet, gentle

and compliant to both humans and other dogs will enjoy a playmate.

Miss Bonnie will add lots of cuteness and smiles to her new owners.

Ruby will be her new owners best friend and companion and enjoy her daily walks.

As soon as you meet Frodo Waggins, you just HAVE to smile.  Lots of people

will be smiling when they meet this fella.  :+)

Just know the first few days will be filled with many potty breaks and getting to know each other.  Please have patience and bestow lots of love on your new buddy.  Both of you need time for bonding and to learn the ropes.  Enjoy the adventure.  :+) Joyce
  

Clary's litter is happy to celebrate The Fourth of July soon!

We are back!!  Unfortunately, my Blogger had a glitch for a few days and my son, Joshua was able to fix it.  Thanks so much, Josh!  :+) 

I am so glad to have it back and functioning!  Although I did manage to send pics of the pups to the potential pup owners of this litter individually, I like to keep things orderly, so am reposting the three week pics and weights here.  :+)

Teal Collar Female - 2 1/4 lbs.

Blue Collar Male - 2 1/2 lbs.

Green Collar Male - 2 1/2 lbs.

Black Collar Female - 2 1/4 lbs.

Brown Collar Male - 2 lbs.

Red Collar Male - 2 1/2 lbs.

Pink Collar Female - 2 1/4 lbs.

                 HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!

Miss Jade has a home.

 

Jade will be about 30 lbs. +/- at maturity.  She has a wavy, non shedding coat that will be easy to maintain and an engaging personality.  My trainer that assesses all my pups expressed the following:

• Jade is a fun, confident puppy who will easily approach and greet your guests.  She is a sniffer and very playful and will be a great addition to any family.  
• She is very trainable and is not sensitive to sound.
• Jade is nosey - she loves to smell her environment including critters, kids, bikes and the like so a close eye on her with a leash on is a necessity until well trained.
• Games like fetch, ball chasing, nose work or tracking would be right up Jade's alley.  
• My trainer is not an advocate for dog parks or dog day care as she feels most of them do not do diligence with watching dog behaviors.  One bad experience with a dominant or aggressive dog could make any pup leash aggressive in a blink.  So, use good judgement.  It is not that you can't go, it is much preferred that a one on one greeting with a calm, friendly dog would curtail any bad 'pack' greetings.
• Jade likes other dogs and would do well with a friendly canine partner.

Any of my Wait List applicants should contact me asap if you are interested and would like to chat.  At this time, Jade is not available for anyone that has NOT already sent me in an application.  Thanks.

Jade is staying with her original assignment.  :+)

Ugh! I am a day late and many dollars short! (BRINKLEY X DIESEL LITTER - WEEK 8)

I apologize for the delay in posting pics but yesterday was a blaze of activity!  The pups are doing EXTREMELY well with no complaints after the surgeries.  They are really TOO happy!  They want to run around and do agility, I think!  They are in the small pen in the pup area and want to get out.  They need to remain there so that they don't open incisions with rough play.  It is the very worse time of the entire experience here.  They feel so good that it is tough for them, and me, to keep them from running off steam.  

They were wonderful at the vets and four of the vet techs brought them out in their arms and people simply milled about admiring them.  It was adorable.  :+)

Unfortunately, I am still waiting for the last write up from my trainer.  I will not assign until I have all of them before calling each of you.   It is the way it is - I too, get antsy.  :+)

On another note, for those who have not paid in full, the balance is now due.  I will contact you separately.  :+)

Get ready for your lives to get busy!  :+)

Also today, it is Clary's litter - WEEK TWO!

Happily, I was able to get their pics taken and loaded.  All they really do is eat and sleep, so not much to report except they seem to be healthy, gaining and crawling about.  All good!  Clary is a good momma so, for now, she is doing all the work.  As long as I am feeding Clary, she is feeding her pups. We make a good team.  :+)

All of them have opened their eyes but cannot really focus yet.  It will be interesting to see if any of them will have blue in their eyes like Clary does.  Her last litter produced a lovely male with the brightest blue eyes ever.  He was so handsome!

The pigment on their noses will take more time to develop.  By about 3 weeks of age, they should all fill in.  Many breeders associate the puppy weights with 'mature weights'.  A general rule is 'if their weight is below their age in weeks, they will be smaller (around 25 lbs.); if equal (2 wks/2 lbs.) - they will be about 30 lbs.; and if above that marker around 34  +/- lbs.  It is not perfect but it gives you an idea.

Brown Collar Male at 2 weeks is 1 lb., 6 ozs.

Blue Collar Male at 2 weeks is 1 lb., 14 ozs.

Green Collar Male at 2 weeks is ... chubby!  He weighs 2 lbs, 1 oz!

Teal Collar Female at 2 weeks is 1 lb., 13 ozs.

Red Collar Male at two weeks is almost there at 1 lb., 15 ozs.

Pink Female at two weeks is 1 lb., 13ozs.

Black Female at two weeks is 1 lb. 12 ozs.

The Brinkley x Diesel litter had visitors this week!

They loved being able to run around the pup play-yard and entertain their company.  All were willing to be patted, held, belly rubbed and cuddled.  See for yourself!

Thank you Espinola family for coming over and visiting!!

Jade says 'Come again soon!!'

We also had the the Bell family visit earlier this past week and they could not believe how big the pups grew since their last visit!

Today, the pups are going in for their first vaccines and a Health Certificate.  They are outside playing with Gabriel.  Hopefully, they will have done potty before I load them in the car!!

I have a puppy available! UPDATE: SOLD

Unfortunately, one of the buyers for a pup from the Brinkley x Diesel litter has had to move to a different litter due to timing.  

If anyone on my Waitlist is interested, please contact me via email privately.  I have been reaching out to my list of people but it is a long process to wait for answers - especially during the summer when so many are out and about.  So, I decided to simply open it up to everyone who has sent in an application.

Per my website, I assign your puppy based on what you wrote on your application which is why I will not be accepting any NEW applications for this pup.  The pick up date is JULY 2ND - A FRIDAY!  I know it is a tough time to add a new pup to your family given that it is a holiday weekend.

If any of you show interest, payment, in full, will be required.  I have two males and two females.  Check out their pics here on the AnnaBlog.  All will be mediums ranging from about 30 to 40 lbs. at maturity.
