This is Chewie! He is a miniture Labradoodle and I am a proud co-owner! Brandi (of Sutter Buttes) and I are pleased to add this handsome boy to our breeding program! We expect him to only be 20 lbs when fully grown!
He comes to us from Jodi at Mis-B Haven Doodles in California...and he just received an 'EXCELLENT' hip score with his OFA prelims!
He will be living with a lovely young couple in Santa Rosa.
Thanks, everyone! He is an F1B and at this time he is almost 5 months old! So, we are going to be watching for maturity in a few months!
We are in the process of setting up breeding guidelines and when we do, and when he is ready, he will be available for stud.
Ok Jac, can you say LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! :lol: Oh my goodness, I just wanna eat him up he's sooo cute! I'm with dixiedi and a teeny-weenie bit jealous!! I can't wait to see him grow!! Congrats!!!
I'm curious, Jac. Are people breeding F1B's to F1B's? What is the plan for breeders to come up with a consistent LD type? I know some people like different looks so there could be 2-3 different types, sorta like the smooth collie and the rough collie, or the long haired chihuahua and short haired chihuahua, etc.
Kim, about the breeding...in my opinion ...at least for my program purposes... I am looking at 1) health and temperament 2) intelligence 3) allergy friendly coats 4) appearance...BUT I am a realist, and my customers are asking for small, light colored dogs. So, we selected Chewy because he is a great dog, good temperament, trainable, loving and beautiful!
Yes, you can breed F1B to F1B. The idea is that once you get the temperament and personality traits you want, and you get a good coat, you continue to breed for that. If you get the first things, but the coat is not so great, you adjust that by finding the right mate for your dog...if the coat is flat, you look for curly (or bring a Poodle back into the mix) if you get too much curl, you look for a looser wave.
Ann Marie, you are right ... Peanut and Chewy are similar in color, aren't they?
I can't wait to actually meet him!
I still personally prefer standards, I like big dogs! But the guardian family are thrilled to get him, so it works out perfectly!
Thanks, Jac, for answering my question. I was just curious about what breeders were going to be doing. There are so many choices with the F1's, F1B's, F2's, etc. It gets confusing. (for me anyway! :lol: )
she needed to add in camels , a few sheep and possibly a chicken :wink:
