hey everybody we got our parti-factored f1 boy this week!!
Here's "Keenan" - so don't be shy and introduce yourself!

This guy came from a chocolate/white parti poodle mom and a Labador sire who has PHANTOM markings!

his personality is as sweet as you could ever want, even at 4mos old!

 

[Maureen]

awww.....thanks! :wink:

 

[Maureen]

THANK YOU!!! and hopefully you can meet Keenan at our next doodle romp! I guess you might want to wait on Caesar's coming til July at 4mos. right? But I'm going to ask Susan to bring Keenan for sure.

 

[Maureen]

thanks Linda...he's staying in a guardian home since we're full-up at our house. But he has bonded so beautifully with his guardian owner so we're all really thrilled at how this has worked out.

Jac it gets even better! the LABRADOODLE RANCH is expanding for the next generation!

We are getting our chocolate miniature poodle....living in a guardian home with a dear friend.... for future miniature f1b's! And a doodle friend and client is getting one themselves, so they have offered to bring our baby to us!

hey Kim,
it's pretty simple, and it seems like a win/win from what I can tell:
the breeder "owns" the dog on paper, but he/she lives with his permanent family. All vet bills for maintenance, and preparation for breeding are covered by the breeder and the guardian family gets a true "pick of the litter" that is of the quality a breeder wants to use. Then the breeding dog goes to the breeder's home and care for the necessary times. Of course that would vary with gender.

there's a breeder who has worded the whole thing really succinctly... I should ask permission to use her stuff, cuz she has a webpage that lists it all so well.

hey Jackie, one of the first breeders of parti doodles is Bonita Henry, of Bad Company Labradoodles and Nancy, of www.doodlesville.com has had some too.

Hope that helps! And I hope I'm there next year, for sure! :wink:

 

[Maureen]

You are very welcome Jackie. Bonita has specialized in, or focused on black/white doodles. I have preferred brown and whites, or at least that is what I hope to have at some point, but with Fancy and Keenan I would have to have black/white if they actually threw partis; Fancy doesn't posess the brown pigment in her DNA. But her puppies will if Keenan is their daddy! :wink:

 

[Maureen]

Kendra it's nice to hear from you! And if I'm busting with excitement over him now I think you can COUNT on my being a loudmouth when he's a daddy

 

[Maureen]

yo barbinca! keep in touch...Keenan could be a match made in heaven! :wink:

I'm so excited because he's not too big. At 6mos. old he's 18-20" (I didn't measure) and I'm hoping he will pass his testing and "get busy" in Spring 2007 with my parti-factored poodle for some nice f1b's.
