Honeymoon Updates!

February 24, 2009

When it rains it pours!  Both girls have come into season at the same time :) .  The puppies will born at the end of April or very begining of May, and should be ready for their forever homes at the end of June.

There was a change in plans for Chloe.  Mother Nature dictated that she needed to be bred this weekend, and Fed Ex couldn’t accommodate us!  So I needed to find a boy with all of the great qualities I was looking for…not an easy task….  I can’t believe how I lucked out!  Xander from www.oceanstatelabradoodles.com had a free dance card this weekend, so Chloe and I took a road trip together.  Xander is amazing!  He is 19″ and 36lbs, with a fabulous dark chocolate fleece coat (I couldn’t stop running my hands through it!).  He was like a little brown teddy bear and just wanted to cuddle up to someone.   I expect puppies that will mature to 17-19″ , and weigh 25-35 lbs.  Genetics tell me that the puppies should be 1/2 brown and 1/2 black (all should have some white marks).  There is a slight chance that Xander carries for parti and might produce some full parti pups, but that will just be a bonus if it happens!   Here is a picture of Xander:

I still plan on having Ruby honeymoon with Sporty.  She will most likely be bred next weekend.
