My little girl is growing up

Wow! She has great conformation...and look at how dark brown she is! Beautiful!

Ditto! I love the look of the field Labs myself. She almost looks like a little longer haired Tuesday! Is her hair wavey/shiney?
Tuesday has a slug of champions in her pedigree, 5 of them in her 6 generation pedigree are field champion titles...
You might have a little more hyperness, but the trade-off is super intelligence! 3 pups out of my last litter learned to open drawers from watching their humans!
Although Tuesday loves to chase the critters, I have been lucky so far in calling her off of them when off leash,...(remember the story about the skunk? )
When I saw this video I was bummed...remember it?

I thought that I might have blown it using field lab, but with an F1b pup, you are only talking 1/4 lab.
The combination with the poodles intelligence is amazing!
I am looking forward to hearing more about her..is she related to the famous Denver?

No relation to Denver. She is not any more hyper than any of our previous puppies, and less so than you would expect due to our home environment. We tend to have pretty chilled out dogs, learnign from Hershey's example is helpfull. Her coat is very very shiny, and wavy, and very very thick. I can hardly fun my fingers through it. It is getting a little less soft, getting more harsh, so we are not sure if it will be a "hair" or a "fleece" but she isnt shedding at the moment. Crossing her to a poodle for F1bs will correct the softness issues anyway.

So I learned alot about my mental attitude, posture and doing my homework too when training Max, beau and peanut.

This is why I want my Fiance to take our Doodle to training. She's doing fine, HE needs to be trained!

hahahaha...you are so right! The person doing the training has the most to learn...the dogs do just fine if we are consistent with our expectations, commands and rewards.

Aero is SO cute! How old is he in these pics? Lucy is still a baby! She is only 9 weeks and her coat keeps changing and growing almost daily, it seems. I also noticed that her hair around her face is lightening up (and I imagine her looking like Aero as she gets older). I tried to take some pics inside, but the lighting doesn't make for decent shots. Outside would be better but it is crappy out today. I love the shots in the grass of Aero ~ the colors really pop! Here is a couple I just got today:
