Cor - you must have lots of energy! Good luck, I'd LOVE to have two.
Woody is settling in really well and is responding to toilet training. He's so affectionate and interested in everything that's going on. The only slight problem is he likes using his teeth when I'm playing with him. Obviously I want to stop this so each time he does it I push him gently away and say "No!" Am I doing the right thing or is there a better way? |

| Well, my wife and I just picked up our 10 week old Kona who is an F1 Labradoodle. (Like we just picked her up 3 hours ago and here I am bragging already). Poor thing had a 6 hour flight early this morning, but she's already playing and sleeping as if nothing ever happened. She's all black and 14 lbs. I can't believe how awesome she is already. She seems to know her name after just a few hours. She's not too sure about her crate after the airplane ride she had, but I think she'll warm up to it just fine. We're really looking forward to training and getting to know our little Kona girl......I can't believe how sappy I'm being about this dog. She really is so much more than I expected though. Anyway, thanks for the cool forum and I'll be back. Tim & Kim |

Here are links to another site where I posted pictures of our Lexi. Don't know how and did not have the time right now to figure out how to post pictures on this site - hope this works:

Yeah, we are Disney nuts too . . .
Trying hard to housebreak all week last week, but we had lousy, muddy weather. She does know what to do when outside, but has not learned that she should NOT go when inside. Also trying to stop that biting and chewing of items that are not allowed (especially fingers and toes). We are finding that the shaking coins is working.
Puppy classes start next week!

Wow, Lexi looks just like our Woody (see pics upthread). He's now 13 weeks old and we've had him for a month. I think we've been blessed (touch wood) - he is a fantastic dog: really intelligent, cheeky, lovely temperament, absolutely beautiful and he is now house-trained too. He's growing so quickly so I will try and post some new pics soon.
Had a fantastic walk in the Ashdown Forest yesterday near where we live and he loved it - running along, sticking his nose into everything. He always responds to the whistle and comes back to us straight away. We consider ourselves very lucky. |

Hi NickW -
My son and I were laughing as we looked at your pictures - spitting images thousands of miles apart. How funny. I must say though, that all of Lexi's chocolate siblings looked just like her too -
Here's a link to our breeder's web page so you can see for yourself:
http://www.yesteryearacres.com/BridgetNov05labradoodles.html
She was the "purple collar female"
Is Woody a 1st gen doodle? Lexi is.
According to the breeder - and I take it with a bit of salt, she supposedly will have a long wavy coat. She is getting better at potty training, she is just at that puppy nipping stage. Our young daughter climbs the furniture whenever she is out as she nips at her toes. We have had a lot of fun with her though, and she is a retriever through and through. I can throw any number of her toys across the room, and she will fetch and drop it when she brings it back for me to throw it again - at eight weeks.
Thanks for sharing.
John |

|
|
| I am bringing her home next week at 7 weeks old... I know this is young as this is my 4th dog but she is so big and I have a 7 year old golden retriever at home to be her "Auntie Jersy". I have gone out and visited her since she was 4 weeks old and I have a really good feeling about her. She should be an awesome dog because she is so laid back already. I always do the "lay on their back" routine when picking out my puppies. They must be willing to roll onto their backs and lay in my arms without a lot of resistence. I find this separates the more laid back pups from the dominant ones. It all depends on what you want in personality but I find that the submissive personality works best for me. First time I will have to crate train because I work part time every morning... I will be haunting this forum for tips on this aspect of puppy training. Plus I know that the lab in labradoodle means this pup will want to chew a lot more than my golden's did so a crate will be helpful to supervise that behavior once it starts happening... I am so excited to bring my new pup home. She doesn't have a name yet but we have a list going to choose from. I haven't figured out how to post a picture yet but I will get to work on that now. |
