Atticus is born......yaay

[charlotte bednarsh]

As most of you know, on May 31, 2016, my beloved Paz crossed the rainbow bridge after his courageous 6 month battle against canine lymphoma.I decided the best way to honor Paz's amazing memory, was to get another labradoodle puppy who could be trained as a therapy dog that would continue Paz's amazing work with young crime victims. After much research, in July, I placed a deposit for a puppy from a planned litter that was being bred in July.  I am excited to announce the litter was born yesterday, a total of 8 babies, 5 males and 3 females; the puppies are caramel in color and will be very large labradoodles like Paz. When the puppies reach 7 weeks old, a professional trainer will evaluate which puppy will make the best therapy/service dog, and that puppy will be mine! I am going to name the puppy "Atticus" after the lead protagonist in "To Kill A Mockingbird." My grand daughters and I will be flying to North Carolina on November 12 to get the puppy who will begin therapy dog training immediately. I am posting pictures of the litter that was born yesterday and will keep you all posted with pictures.

Aww...you must be so excited.

[Amy and Annabelle]

Such beautiful babies. Yellow collar baby makes me smile with his facing the opposite direction of the others.

[Wendy and Myla]

And now the hardest part will begin......waiting!!!  I'm so happy for you and I know Paz is smiling down on these puppies!  I honestly believe that Myla was so easy to train because my beloved Zak was guiding her from the Rainbow Bridge!  I hope your breeder sends you lots of pictures!  I absolutely loved my breeder, but pictures and the internet were definitely not her specialty!  You must be so excited!

These are all beautiful babies.  Congratulations.  You have chosen a strong name for your puppy which will serve him well.
