ROCKY IS AVAILABLE FOR A HOME!

Rocky has a bit of shyness and needs a home that has a gentle environment and will only use positive training methods.  He is not a hyper pup at all.  He will enjoy walks, meeting friendly people using treats to say 'Hello' and will engage with friendly dogs and cats.  This is not the type of pup to take to dog parks or rowdy day care centers.

He is submissive to people and dogs but does NOT submissive pee.  A gentle approach wins him over.  I have a full report on him by my trainer who claims he will be an easy pup to raise because of his soft temperament.

Please send in an application if you are interested or call for more information.  Rocky is a miniature, caramel colored Labradoodle with a allergy friendly curly coat.

Since he needs another eye exam in June due to an eye issue, only people willing to go to Portsmouth, NH for this appointment should apply.  My eye vet does not feel it is a concern but we want to verify.  Of course, I will pay for the exam.

Rocky is my normal pet price.  He is not discounted.  Please read my contact regarding any health issues under the Purchase Detail Tab on my website.

Who I am keeping for Guardian Homes!

Finally, I received the information I needed to make my Guardian Home choices.  I am keeping both Coal and Sky.  So those of you who had them listed on your preferences, they are no longer available.  I am pretty sure I have a guardian home for Skye whose full name is ADNE 'SKIES THE LIMIT' aka Skye; and Coal is now ADNE 'DIESEL'.   I am definitely looking for a local guardian for Diesel - that means less than an hour away - preferably closer to a half hour unless you don't mind driving to me all the time.

I updated my website on the Home Page to reflect my choices as soon as I made them.

Now the difficulty is some of you are going to need to make other choices and I would appreciate hearing from you.  FYI - I have placed both Sage and Coffee already.  I am going to continue assigning to those that I still have preferences from.

Some of you will be disappointed, I know a few will be, just let me know if you would like your deposit back.  Pups are available for the fall from my breeder friend, Marci of Tango Wool Labradoodles.  You should contact her asap.

At last, at last the Clary x Wyatt litter are all in their homes!

Due to a calendar glitch, Biscuit had to remain another week later than his siblings.  He was picked up this morning by has very happy family and now I can finally post pictures of the families!

Harper has joined the Greene family.  (Pink Girl)

Lucky for me that Alexa, Daren and I were on the same page when it came to picking this boy to be a
potential stud for ADNE someday.  He has two other dogs, a cat and a wonderful yard to explore.

Biscuit was the last pup to be picked up but he had a ball with the minis that are still here during his extra time.  A doodle that could have gone to any family as he is such a confident and snugly guy.

Roxy was the first to leave our nest.  Another ADNE doodle awaits at home.  Will be very interesting
to see how they are doing together as Roxy is quite the social butterfly!

Edith Hansen had the softest coat and personality of the group.  This family really wanted a pup to snuggle with
and I do believe Edith will give everyone equal attention.  :+)

Now that all the pups have been placed, I do hope I will get some updates every now and again to hear how all are doing.  Pictures would be welcomed as well!  You all know how to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  :+)

Temperament Tests - Assignments Update

Just to let you all know that my trainer will not return back here from Denver until Tuesday, so assignments will be made on Wednesday, Aug. 14th.  At that time, I will need a name for either a male or a female so PLEASE have this ready.  I will ask that the balance for your pup be sent so it is received by Tuesday, Aug. 20th if using a personal check.  If not received by that date (late), I will hold it for you and you must bring cash instead at pick up.  My address is on the bottom of every page of the website.

Pick up is on Saturday, August 24th at 1 pm unless you have made other arrangements with me.  Lastly, Week 8 pics will be done on Thursday, not Wednesday because of their surgeries.

Boy, did I drop the ball this week! (Gunny x Boomer Litter - 7 weeks)

My apologies for messing up the pick up day - I clearly missed an entire week when making my count.  It does not impair the surgery date but the pups were a bit early for their CAER Eye Exam today as I generally do it at eight weeks; as well as their Temperament Test.  However, my very experienced trainer will take their age into account when doing her write ups.  She did mention to me that she has a commitment in Denver and may not get to them until her return.  Please be patient, I would rather the reports be correct not fast.

The pups have really been enjoying the play yard and both Biscuit and Pink have been a great 'big sis and big bro' to all of them.  They all sleep together as well but are fed in separate areas.  Biscuit (Pink is SOLD AND WITH HER NEW FAMILY) will be picked up on Saturday and I will just have the little guys for the next couple of weeks.

A friend of mine came with me to the pups Temperament Test and was a great help moving and holding some of the pups as needed.  Thank you, Roxann!!  Both Rocky and Coffee needed another pup to bolster their confidence through some of the test parts and then completed the rest by themselves.  Given they are both smaller than most and tested a week early, I was glad to see them complete the process once a sibling was with them.  :+)

The ride up and back from the Temperament Test was somewhat noisy until the pups finally settled down; however, the ride to the eye exams today was MUCH more quiet.  We have a couple more trips before they go home.

This week's pics includes some of the pups participating in the Temperament Test.

Fudge Boy is very popular.  Wonder why?  :+)

For those who like curls, well..Sage has plenty of them.

A replica of her mom, Coffee will more than likely lighten just a bit.

Coral's color is so captivating.  She IS the color of a Kraft Caramel.  Yum!

Oh, those silky blacks get me every time.  

'How much is that dogie in the Window'?  Anyone remember that tune?  Rocky takes it to a new level.  

Violet was terrific during her Temperament Test.  A really confident pup.  Cute, too!

  

A smart a--!  Sky simply knows she is adorable and uses her smarts and good looks  optimally!

Here are some pics of the pups during the variety of 'activities' done during the Temperament Test.

Clary's pups are 9 weeks today and one already went home.

Roxy went home with her family this morning but her siblings are still here and today is still PICTURE DAY!

I brought the pups in when we had our shower but the afternoon is lovely once again and out they went to play with Gunny's babies.  I was able to get some single shots of them even between all the chasing and wrestling.

Biscuit will be here till Sat. Aug. 10th.  He is the biggest pup in the litter at 10 lbs.

I really like this black and white pic of Pink Girl, who does not have a home at this time.  She definitely favors her Poodle genes in her face and leg length.  She is athletic and sweetly independent.  7 1/2 lbs.
She will probably be about 28 lbs. as an adult.

Pink again peeking from behind the slide.

You can really see Pink's long legs in this pic.  Although her coat is dense, she has the type of coat that can be kept nice and neat easily if you are handy with clippers!  A 'no muss, no fuss' type of girl.  :+)

Frankie leaves with his guardians tomorrow late afternoon.  I am so looking forward to seeing him mature. 9 1/2 lbs.

Miss Edith also goes home tomorrow in the early afternoon.  (7 1/2 lbs.)  Around 27 lbs. or so  at maturity.

By tomorrow evening, my load will be a bit lighter but still busy!  I look forward to more visits from the Gunny litter owners.  In the meantime, I am sure both Pink and Biscuit will tire out the pups for nice long naps!  :+)

It was HAPPY HOUR at ADNE this morning!

Finally, I let the little pups into the large play area with the big pups and didn't they have a ball!  Both groups entertained each other very well.  I was surprised that Gunny's minis held their own with Clary's bruisers!

Look for yourselves!  Unfortunately, most of the chocolate pups were either behind, under or in a different spot as I snapped pics.

We are ready to play, are you?

Pink Girl got into it right away with a happy hop!

Game on!

What is over there?

Sniff, sniff...

Help!  I am being ganged up on!!

No, says Frankie,  I AM being ganged up on!

How you doing, little buddy?

Come on, Coal, let's play!

I'll play, I'll play!

Follow the leader, ladies!

I went for a very nice ride in the Uber car.  :+)

Roxy gets stalked by two minis, while Frankie looks on.

Uh oh looks like a stand off.....

The chase is on!

This is a pivot...watch..

See that?

Not bad says Roxy.

I can show you a few tricks, says Roxy.

Coal can't decide who to play with - Pink or Biscuit.

Biscuit wins!

That's ok says Pink, I got the toy I want.
