New pictures of Mia

So I finally dug out my camera to take some new shots of Mia. Mia is nearly six months old and stands about 15" tall and weighs 19 lbs. The other dog is our nearly 17 year-old springer spaniel Rose. She's deaf and suffers from doggy Alzheimer's, but she's very patient with the pup.

Mia sure is adorable! Thank you for posting a picture.

Just one question, though. Your pup weighs less than
mine, and my Hershey is only 12 weeks old. Were her
parents smaller as well?

Adorable! I see she has that beautiful, fluffy coat of fur. Any grooming tips we should know about?

I am guessing she is a mini, but what generation?

In answer to your questions -- Mia is a multi-generation miniature ... I have information back to her great-great-grandparents and most of them come from either Rutland Manor or Tegan Park in Australia.

Both her mom (who came directly from Rutland Manor to Sandyhill Labradoodles in Abbotsford, BC, Canada) and dad (from Primetime Labradoodles in Bellingham, Wash.) are small -- 15 or 16 inches tall and weighing between 20 & 25 lbs.

I actually got her from Sandyhill Labradoodles in Abbotsford, BC which is just north of Bellingham in Canaada ... about an hour's drive I think. There are a bunch of multi-gen mini doodle breeders in close proximity to one another in southern BC and Alberta and Washington State.

Maddie, your Lexie looks like a real sweet heart. She's looks like a taller more slender dog than Mia. Mia is a real roly poly ... I think I'm going to have to watch her weight for her as she get older. Maybe I'll have better luck watching her weight than my own Laughing

How does your mini get on with larger dogs? I think Mia has small dog syndrome ... there's no one she won't bark at and try to lure into a game of tag and roll.

Lexi does seem taller to me than Mia appears on the screen, but in person she's only about 15 inches. Still small compared to most standards of the same age.

As for Lexi and other dogs...

At our last visit to the vet, she had no experience with other dogs because the vet. said she needed to complete her shots before she could be exposed. She was 16 weeks then (it was her last round of shots). On our way out of the Doctors office there was a HUGE, but very well behaved St. Bernard waiting to be seen. Lexi took one look, and started barking. I looked down at her, and thought are you out of your mind?

The St. Bernard owner let Lexi come closer to sniff. She stopped barking- and began the "sniff your butt" ritual. The St. Bernard remained calm and sweet! What a break for me!!!!!

Since that time we have had a few puppy play dates with our Bichon Frise friend, and a couple of lab friends. She no longer barks at other dogs.

Also she has been enrolled in puppy school, and for sure the best part for her is the socialization period with the other pups. Sniffing, licking, play fights oh what fun! But she sure seems like the most "hyper" pup in class!
