Four 'stuffed' animals.

Can you spot the 'fake one'?

Tis the season but I did manage to get Tillie's pups done - only a day late!!! Oh my!

So, the Three Ships Assailing won't find a continent to hold them if they keep gaining like they are! Tillie is still happily feeding them 'eggnog' and it shows.

Here is a cute pic of Tillie playing with her chunky pieces of chocolate. She adores them.

Tillie happily jumps in to feed and play with her chubby babies.

Teal Boy weighs 4 1/2 lbs. at 4 wks. I bet he will lighten to a cafe' or lavender color at maturity.

Sweet Georgia Brown is the 'lightweight' at 4 lbs. She is a bit darker than Teal Boy at this time.

Orange boy ate all the chocolates and is 4 3/4 lbs. He will be a caramel. He looks like a Twinkie!

UPDATE: RANGER (Blue Boy) has a home (12/26). Thank you to all that inquired about him.

Dec. 24th.  'Can I help with the laundry'?

Sadly, Blue Boy was not comfortable in a city setting and has returned to be placed in a rural home. He will be a small medium (30 lbs.) has a fleece coat with slight waves and will grow to approximately 17 to 18 inches tall.

He is a sensitive boy and would do best with the following:

• someone at home or can take him to work/retired individuals, active adults, etc.
• dog experience (has had dogs in the past)
• sensitive older children would be fine but not younger than 12
• has patience, Blue Boy needs to overcome his concerns at his pace
• uses a trainer that utilizes confidence building exercises 
• another friendly dog in the household would be great
• does well in his crate, car rides and entertains himself with toys easily
• is cuddly and quite calm - not a barker

Update on 12/26/14:  Fortunately, a family that already has an Annabelle Doodle came to visit but wanted to really make a well thought out decision not a spontaneous one.  With the Christmas holiday, all were too busy with cooking, company and holiday spirit to have the solid piece of time needed.

After calling their trainer and making general inquiries to others of the possible concerns with a somewhat shy/cautious doodle, I was contacted that they did indeed want Blue and his name is RANGER. I was very pleased because this family fit all the criteria above and more. Ranger has received the best Christmas present ever - a loving, patient, lifelong home!   :+)

Here are pics of the new families that picked up Camden's puppies over the past two days.

The last one will be picked up on Monday afternoon and will be added then.

Thank you so much everyone for picking me as your breeder and embracing the Annabelle Doodle assignment process.  Enjoy your pups but remember to be consistent in your training!  :+)

Hazel's one day old pups!

At noontime, we had a vet appointment for Hazel and her pups to be checked out to be sure all is well. Their front dew claws were removed to prevent any issues in their future and Hazel was thoroughly checked out to be sure she had milk and was not harboring any 'left over placentas' etc. Of course Hazel was a bit stressed to have her pups removed from her to go to the surgery area but she settled quickly and is happy to be home and nursing her brood.

As promised, here are their pics at one day old.

The Christmas bundle!

Navy Boy

Russet Boy

Buttercup Girl

Red Boy

Purple Girl

Camo Boy

Green Girl

HAZEL MAE whelps a litter of seven miniatures!

There is something to be said for first time whelpers who go through the process with such aplomb as Hazel did. She earned Five Stars easy.  :+)  Her seven little ones will have their pic taken tomorrow after the vet checks them and Hazel over. Till then, here are the stats on the group:

• Navy Boy born at 10:43 am - 7 7/8 ounces, Apricot
• Buttercup Girl born at 11:03 am - 7 5/8 ounces, Apricot
• Camo Boy born at 11:10 am - 6 1/8 ounces, Apricot
• Red Boy born at 11:38 am - 8 1/2 ounces, Black
• Russet Boy born at 11:59 am - 6 5/8 ounces, Black
• Purple Girl born at 12:44 pm - 7 1/4 ounces, Apricot
• Green Female born at 1:00 pm - 7 1/2 ounces, Apricot

I will recheck genders tomorrow as well just to be sure I got them right - pretty tired, like Hazel. She is taking a nap...I need one too. Thank you, Hazel.  :+)

Are you ready????

Camden's litter of pups will be leaving this weekend. Hopefully, all buyers have read my Supply List, the Contract and are prepared with paper towels, hand sanitizer, crate/harness system and plastic bags (just in case of any mishaps) when you pick up your new fur-baby.

Please inspect your home for any possible items that could cause your new pup harm such as wires, small items that are reachable, plants, poisons, etc. The best way to really see what could be an issue is to be on your hands and knees as you search.  :+)

Have you found a trainer? Obedience facility? Dog Walker? Vet? Friends with vaccinated dogs for introductions and playmate?

The pups are doing very well since their surgeries and are full of energy. Just remember to prevent them from jumping for another week while they fully heal. I gave them a bath prior to their surgical appointments as it is recommended they not have a bath for 10 days after surgery. 

Your pup will come with a detailed notebook, toys, collar/leash, litter 'blanket', door bells for training to potty outside, etc. So, I ask again......are you ready??
