Blue Boy....F1B Labradoodle

Hello Sweetness.......

Most of you know that Chica was bred to Royal and confirmed pregnant....yeah!  Chica has produced some fabulous puppies and I've been so excited for her puppies with Royal...such a great combo!  About 2 weeks ago, I found out via x-ray that she only had 2 puppies.  SUCH a bummer, especially since I had to tell a few families that I wouldn't have puppies for them.  But I tried to remain thankful for the two rather than focus on what wasn't going to happen....  

Last Saturday night, Chica delivered her two puppies with a very easy and smooth delivery.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the first puppy, a dark red female, arrive.  I thought Royal would have given me a lighter color, so I was very happy for the red!  And then the 2nd one followed....a beautiful dark red boy.  One of each!  Unfortunately, much to my dismay, this sweet little puppy was not alive upon his arrival.  To say I was crushed is a total understatement.  He was beautiful and fully developed, but had obviously not been alive inside of her.  I'm not sure what happened, but it was a very sad time.  Again, I tried to remain thankful for what I did have, but sometimes that's much easier said than done.  Not only was it tough to loose such a sweet puppy, but I had to let down another family.  Ugh....not easy on my heart, that's for sure!  I'm thankful for the gracious families who took the news as best as they could, but I definitely needed a few days to get over the heartbreak.

It has now been a week since her delivery and I am remorseful over the loss of the little boy, but feel even more blessed and thankful for a strong, healthy beautiful girl.  Chica was meant to be a mommy...and she's very attentive to her little "sweet singleton."  I've decided to keep this little girl apart of the Faithful Doodle family and am beyond thrilled with the lovely family who is going to be the Guardian Home for her.  She's a sweet girl, going to a sweet family and she deserves a sweet name.  I'm anxious to see what they come up for her!

6 Weeks!

It's only been 3 days since I posted pics and you'd think there would be no change in the puppies, but there is.....incredible!  This weekend was lots of fun as I got to meet most of the families and see which puppy is going with whom.  Very fun!  I'm soaking up all the puppiness I can get because my time with them is very, very short.

Enjoy!

5 Weeks Old!

I'm behind on everything this week, including puppy pics!  So...they are more like 5 1/2 weeks old now.  These guys are just awesome and as sweet as can be!  Their coats are really starting to fluffout and their little personalities are starting to shine through.  And, the families are starting to come out and pick their specific puppy, which is always a fun time.  I love seeing who gets paired up with who!

One Month Old!!  Wow....look at them grow!  These first 4 weeks have gone super fast and I can't believe they are only 4 weeks away from going to their new families.  These little boogers got a taste of "real food" this week and are definitely likening it!   Here's some pics for you to enjoy.....

3 Weeks F1B Labradoodles!

These guys turned 3 Weeks yesterday. Happy Mother's Day to Lilly!

Their eyes are all opened now and they are starting to be more stable when they walk. They're also getting more vocal! AND they're wiggly enough that they make taking pictures by myself very difficult. :)
