Your Doodle's Siblings

[Camilla and Darwin]

So, as some of you may know we got Darwin from a back yard breeder, before we found DK and learned everything we know now. His mother was owned by the breeder, a golden retriever. The father, a standard white poodle was her friend's dog.

By the time we saw Darwin's litter (12 weeks) there were only three puppies left. Him and two other boys, but I know there were more than just 3 puppies in the litter. I want to know who his siblings are so bad! I would love to have a romp with them, or even just see what they grew up to look like. I'm pretty positive that they were all sold to locals, as she wasn't extremely legitimate and I doubt she advertised or shipped the puppies. I always keep an eye out for doodle owners, hoping that I will find a long lost sibling. :-)

His breeder is not involved at all, she never even responded to my e-mails when I used to send her photos of Darwin. So she's not an option for finding out where his siblings went. I realize that it's possible his siblings are long lost and we'll never find them, but my curiosity keeps me wondering. Any suggestions?

Do you know who your doodle's siblings are? Have you had romps with them? Do they look similar to your doodle or completely different? Post pictures if you have them!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

This is Beamer - Stuart's brother - looks just like Stuart!

Rooney's littermates were sold to families all over the U.S. - 2 went to the east coast.  We have no contact nor did I meet any of the parents.  There was though a "singleton" puppy (a single puppy litter) that was born 1.5 wks after Rooney's litter and that puppy spent tons of time in with Rooney's litter - Dublin - a very big red puppy.  When I took Rooney to Doodle Day at the breeder's after we have had him for 4 months - there was Dublin with his family and they all remembered Rooney and were so happy to see him.  Dispite the fact that there were 20 some doodles there - Rooney and Dublin hung together the entire time - they still knew each other!

Stuart - thanks to Carol & Banjo does know that one of his sibs (Joplin) Beamer lives in Atlanta and we have been in contact which makes it nice to compare for medical reasons and we have no info on the parents.  Beamer and Stuart look like twins!

This is Stuart - when I picked him up at Foster Care - Beamer was already gone so I didn't see him but the other two puppies didn't look like Stuart at all.  One was really a deep gold and the other was very small and more pointy faced.

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

OMD How can you stand it? He's sooooo CUTE! I want to squish him.

[Camilla and Darwin]

They do look very similar! Stuart is sooo cute!

[Carol and Banjo]

Awwww.....they ARE brothers!    How cute they both are!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Beamer and Stuart are just too cute. It's great that you have been able to be in touch.

[Phoebe's Mom]

I am very lucky to have an awesome breeder who shared pics of Phoebe's siblings with me, one of which is posted on her site along with Phoebe's picture.  There were ten pups all together and the other nine all found their forever families and remained in the South.  We always joke that Phoebe drew the short straw and got stuck with us in MN!

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

I've been curious too but I doubt the breeder will help. I guess I could ask... I randomly met a guy who hada pup from the same breeder, but he wasn't a sibling.

[Dori & Rua]

So far, there are 3 of Rua's siblings (from the same litter) here on DK and one sibling from same parents different litter.

 

Rua's littermates are:

Julie & Peyton

Christi & Max

Kristie & Auto

 

Rua's sibling from a different litter:

Gretta & Shimmer (just brought her home May 25th)

 

Our breeder has a link to DK on his front page to our group.  I discovered DK before I got Rua, while looking through a post off of his page that had a link in it.

 

There were 8 puppies in Rua's litter.  I copied the pictures he posted for each puppy (Rua's name was Female Red) into a Word document and have been filling in names as I find them).  I know the name of one of the others, but haven't tracked her down yet...she isn't on DK. 

[Lindsey]

I was just talking to another DKer about this very same topic.
We both have dogs from the same breeder...but not siblings, or even the same breed- he is getting a labradoodle, I have Molly the Shepadoodle.
I left all of my contact info. with my breeder when we picked Molly up.
At the time, there were still 6 puppies left, I really would like to hear and keep in contact with the families of the other siblings. I did ask my breeder a few weeks later, where the other pups had found homes, they were alllllll over the US. The closest one had gone to NC (I live in SC)...so it's unlikely that we would ever of had the chance to meet in person...but still, emails and photos would have been nice.
That's actually how I found DK...I was looking for other doodle owners, hoping to run across a sibling.
I do have pictures of all of the brothers and sisters from when the litter was born, I have them in a Molly's "Scrapbook"...yes, I'm that kind of doodle mom!

[Sally]

Duncan's momma Maggie miscarried two pups during the pregnancy and then when she delivered another one didn't make it. So it was only Duncan and one other male pup who survived. I had emailed my breeder with a christmas card 2 years ago and she asked if she could forward it along with the photos i sent to the guardian family of duncan's momma Maggie. So I did have an exchange with the guardian family. They told me about Duncan's first 12 weeks. How he loved to drag the husbands slippers around from room to room. She only knew that the other pup went to a family in North Carolina.

And for 2 years i've been waiting for her to send me photos of Duncan and his brother that she had. I might have to email her today as this post is making me curious again! Duncan's name was Sirius until I got him. And his Brother's name was Remi at the time....I am always searching for others that came from duncan's breeder. My brother and his wife have Duncan's half-sister. They share the same dad but have different moms. She was the reason i fell in love with the breed. Sigh!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Of course. I have kept in touch with two of the sisters (Christine+Ellie is a DKer).  Photos below.

The other three siblings - one is a sire in Georgia.  The other two are still around my area, but I have not seen them in a while.  I keep in touch with Peri's breeder because she plans all of our romps and does a lot of rescue locally.

Ellie (in NYC - Christine+Ellie on DK - took from her page):

 

Bella who lives in Mid Tn and goes to daycare periodically with Peri (this is on their 1st bdays).  Can you guess which one is Peri? 

 

 

I think this is a great photo to show how the breeder cannot be 100% sure how coats will turn out.  She thought Bella would not shed (and she doesn't) - Bella was curlier than Peri at 8-9 weeks and she went to a family with allergies. Peri was thought to shed...she doesn't and look at their coats now.
