The Puppies are Here!!!

So we waited 63 long days wondering if Daisy was going to have any puppies or not. She was getting bigger but not by much and we could feel them moving around in there. So we took guesses at how many we thought she would have and when. Treg and Alysa got the closest to when she would have them. And I got the closest to how many there were at 8. She had 9 puppies!!! We all thought that since this was her first litter she wouldn't have very many but she showed us with 9 all black beautiful babies. She started to have them on Nov 13th at 8:30 and the last one was born at 12:09. We were all there to witness most of it. We all missed the 1st even though Treg and Tia were on puppy watch and were in the same room just playing they didn't notice Daisy had her because she was so quite about it. Then I made them all go to bed at puppy number 7 at 11:15pm.

Why Labradoodles? I grew up on a ranch in Lehi, it was a goat dairy ranch, then a mink ranch, then we had foxes, you name it we had it. But we always had a dog right until the day I moved out onto my own. We had labs, dobermans, german shepards, great danes, muts, whatever we just had lots of dogs and they were great. But when I got our first house I really didn't want all that fur all over. So I started having kids then I didn't want my kids in danger of a dog. I had excuses even though I still loved dogs I just really didn't want one. Until about 5&1/2 years ago Terry's sweet sister Tonia passed away. She was a dear friend of mine and super special sister to Terry who has always loved dogs well she loved all the animals. The week she passed away Terry's other sister Tammie came into town for the funeral and they brought their dog Zorro who was a labradoodle. The kids fell in love with him instantly because he was so sweet, fun, gentle and SMART! The day they went home was the day we adopted our sweet Dash! It was the first time we even considered having a dog but we knew right away we wanted a labradoodle so I got on KSL and just 5 minutes before I looked Dash was posted. We went out right away to visit him and we brought him home. We soon after found out we didn't just bring home a dog like I had growing up. We had brought home the next member to our family. He goes everywhere with us except to basketball (which he doesn't like basketball season) and everyone would always come ask us what breed he was and if they could pet him. Dash has always loved the attention. Even when I was teaching preschool he would wait at the top of the stairs wanting so bad to be invited to come play with the kids. His favorite day of preschool was the day we learned about the letter D (Daisy the dog says ddd) and the day we learned about caring for our pets. I love that he doesn't shed, that he knows my emotions before I do (sometimes that is not good), I love him being my running buddy (he is always in the mood), I love that he cares about us and always wants to please us by doing what we have trained him to do. So yes, Dash is special, he is my boy, my buddy, my shadow that keeps me company when everyone leaves for work and school. That is why we will only have labradoodles from here on out. Of all the dogs I have owned growing up both Dash and Daisy have been the most like a true member of the family.

So back to the puppies, yes they are expensive but I tell you what I have never one day regretted owning our labradoodles. Daisy had 5 girls and 4 boys all black. Some have straight coats some are curly, some are bigger and some are smaller but all black so far. The stud we bred Daisy to is named Gus and he is a miniature standard poodle. He is super smart and sweet and he is only 19lbs so we are hoping their puppies will be about the size of Dash when they are full grown. With both of their dispositions the will be some great dogs and make some families so happy with their new family members. This is Tregs business he decided he wanted to bred Daisy and sell the puppies to earn money for college.

He is asking $1,000 for girls and $900 for boys which is a great price for the medium size F1B labradoodles. The F1B means they are 3/4 poodle and 1/4 lab so there is almost NO shedding at all, easy coat to maintain, and super smart sensitive dogs. We bred them to be just like Dash since he can not have puppies of his own. They will be ready to go home on Christmas Eve with their first set of shots, dewclaws, and vet checks. We are taking reservations now so if you know of anyone looking for a perfect Christmas Surprise please give them our information.
