Rooney's 1st Doodle Day! UPDATE!!!!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Tomorrow we will be on the road at about 6:15 a.m. in order to arrive at Rooney's first Doodle Day at one of his breeders home.  I'm so excited for him because this will be his first time seeing "Breeder" since we brought him home at 11.5 weeks.  Rooney will be 6 months on the 17th.  I can't wait to see if he will remember Leslie or his daddy, Connor.  I do not think Rooney's mom will get to come.  There will be lots of Doodles for him to meet and play with, maybe a litter mate and lots of prospective clients checking out the breeder and dogs.  I think their list of people wanting a Parti colored puppy is going to get longer after they see my baby ;)

I will admit that I am a tiny bit nervous - I want Rooney's breeders to think that I am doing a good job with him so I do hope that he remembers to mind his manners.  Rooney was groomed on Wednesday but it is raining here so I'm trying to keep him from getting too gross before tomorrow.  I'll have stories to share - I'm sure.

Oh did my boy have a WONDERFUL day!  He saw "Breeder" but he didn't remember her.  I think I've loved him up good for that to happen ;)   He saw his dad - and I do think they sensed something familiar but then he saw Dublin - his brother from another mother and they spent all their time together.  Dublin was born less than 2 weeks after Rooney's litter but Dublin was an only puppy.  So to make sure that he grew up being socialized, he spent tons of time with Rooney's litter - an adopted brother.  And Dublin and Rooney's moms would feed each others pup(s).  They knew that they were brothers and they played and roughed around having the best of times.  I loved seeing all of these beautiful doodles, I hope to go again!!!!  The "boys".  (Dublin is 31lbs/Rooney 17)

Have fun!  It sounds like a great day....

Sounds like a ton of fun! I'm sure everyone including your breeder will be impressed with Rooney. :-)

[Jodi and Stella]

I'm sure your boy will be a shining star! Sounds like fun!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Have fun and don't worry too much!  I have seen Peri's breeder a few times at doodle romps and Peri has been OUT OF CONTROL!  She knows that I am a good doodle mama though. She loves Peri's big personality.  I am sure Rooney will be great ;)

Strangely enough my friend brought home a puppy from our breeders, he came straight here with the puppy before being home and the puppy smelled like the kennel (wood chip). Neely wouldn't have anything to do with the puppy and even after the puppy left I gave him my hands to smell and he just turned as is I am not talking to you. He loves puppies and had played with two little retrievers the day before about the same age. So it wasn't that it was a puppy. We have dogs over all the time so it wasn't his territory so the only thing we figured was the smell of the kennel still on the pup. It was a great kennel and they had great care and where very happy puppies so I wouldn't think it was a bad experience being there. We wondered if he thought that we were about to take him back? So I don't think having Neely visit the breeder would be such a good idea. 

I hope you get to have alot of fun on your visit. But if this happens you've had a heads up.

Sounds like a lot of fun! I wish Ollie's breeder did things like that.  I'm sure you and Rooney will enjoy the experience. Looking forward to lots of pictures.

I'm so jealous - this sounds like such a great experience.  I know Rooney will be wonderful and I have no doubt that people will want a pup just like him.

[Carol and Banjo]
