Pink Ribbon From Diane Braaten

About Me:: I live in Livermore, Ca. I have three grown kids and 4 grand children and one adorable goldendoodle named Bella.

What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!: I have a mini goldendoodle, her name is Bella, she is on the homepage of Almondblossompoodles.com on family album 2
We love her to pieces.

Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?: I once owned a golden retriever as they are my favorite breed, but then I heard about doodles and when I saw them I knew they were the breed for me, and low shedding was a huge plus.

What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?: We take her to the park almost daily, we have taught her several tricks, and pretty much love having her be a part of our daily routines.

Who grooms your doodle(s)?: myself, although I do take her in to have her face and paws cleaned up a bit.

Our doodles look so much alike, love the pictures. Our Bella is 2 years old now, and she is a bundle of fur!!! I try and keep her looking good but what a job! I am afraid to have her trimmed for fear that I will dread her new look. Bella is from Estee and the father is named Mars. I don't think they use him now, as I see another apricot male on their web site. They sure breed some beautiful dogs and their puppies are too cute. I love the doodles personality, they are so in tuned to everything that is going on around them, ours has been such a joy to have, at times I think she is part human, always watching you. Well thank you for popping in on the site, I don't always get to it as often as I should, life's other duties to tend to. Take care, sincerely, Diane

Have a happy day!

We are doing a small Almond Blossom doodle romp on 11/15 Sunday morning (around 10am) in the bay area, (7 doodles from AB, 3 doodles from other breeders), would you and Bella like to join us? We don't know the exact location yet but will soon make a decision.

Our time is 11:00, I'm so excited, I can't wait. I hope your husband's cousin joins this group, it would be nice to check in with someone else going through the same thing, at the same time. Thanks again and I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again :)

Mochi is a mini doodle, he's from Tula and Micah born on 3/28/09, he's now 12 weeks old. I guess we can call Bella and Mochi 'cousins', I have a friend who also made a deposit to Shelly after she saw Mochi, she might get the Estee litter in August (same as your relative's), or she might wait for the next round since she will be the last one to pick in this round.
I'm glad I got Mochi from Shelly's place, he is sweet, cute and smart. You must have felt so too for Bella!
