Well, I have received wonderful reports that Harriet's last litter has settled in quite nicely. It is now time to move forward with thoughts for the next one!
Our vet, Dr. Lowe, gave Harriet Potter an excellent examination and took some blood to send to Dr. Dodds for her full panel on thyroid, chemical and blood balances prior to us deciding if Harriet should be bred again. Thankfully, all is as it should be and we have found a wonderful new stud for Harriet when she cycles next. It should be soon and if the 'coat color Gods' are correct, we should have a rainbow litter of creams, chocolate, black and apricot. :+) Stay tuned!
In the meantime, her daughter 'Willis McPot' has been keeping us all on our toes with her cute antics and wonderful nature. It warms my heart to watch three doodle generations play together in the snow.

Yellow Collar Boy went to a Giants fan family and is named 'Tiki Barber'.
Cindy was so excited to finally take Isobel home.
A bunch of 'firsts'.
Outside for the first time.
Our first 'communal' bath.

Interaction, curiosity, and discovery.

The litter arrived on time!
Hello,
Harriet did a great job at whelping her very first litter. She was a pro and had all the right instincts. Milk came easily and she doted on her large brood.
Harriet and Brett mating of 11/18/06
Hello,
The mating of Harriet and Brett was a success - look at Harriet's big belly! Little did we know there were nine healthy puppies in there.
