So excited for my Sweet Nightingale!

[Ginny Nightingale]

The pups are 9 weeks old now and 5 of the 7 have left--I am getting glowing reports of happy new owners and healthy and adjusted puppies--next week, Lucky, now Cooper comes back to me for 13 days while his parents travel--so I will be sure to have pics for everyone! Peaches, now called Pesca which is Italian for peach, will go to Italy in May to work with an program of autistic kids so she is here with me for a while yet--she is sooo tall! A standard poodle size for sure.

Then there is the pick of the litter--Sweet Nightingale--"Sweetie". I will co-own her with my breeder and if she passes her health tests, she will come back here in a few years to have her pups and carry on the Lyric line...She is so adorable and her name suits her--just couldn't make myself call her Tweety which was our original name. She is so pretty and well-behaved.

Today, a really nice woman with three kids, who lives just TEN minutes from me is coming to meet her---she is willing to be a guardian home--I am so happy that she might be so close and that we can all work together. Cross your fingers that this nice lady falls in love (who wouldn't, right?) and Sweetie has a new home! They have 20 acres, a pond and lots of woods--ideal for an active doodle. I need her to go soon--as I am getting WAY too attached to her.

Here is a nice pic I got today of Saffron, now Sophie, with her very loving big sister Chloe--she is doing so well!

More pictures coming soon!!

What happy news, Ginny! I hope Sweetie's owner is very close by. I agree how could anyone visit doodle puppies and walk away empty-handed. Seems impossible. ;o)

GH is when you agree to not spay or neuter, allow the pup to be health tested and if it passes, then the dog is used for breeding a few times--with my breeder, you pay less up front and get $ back with each litter until fully reimbursed. the dog is yours forever in any case--if the tests are not idea, the dog is spayed or neutered and is your pet just like any other pup sold.

We have several doodles that are in guardian homes here on DK--Lyric (the momma) was in a GH contract, but she has had all 3 litters now. I am still deciding whether to do one more litter and share in the sales or not--I have plenty of time--she had an easy time and seemed to really enjoy the pups this time around, so maybe....

Oh what a love...and the human little one is cute too LOL!

How does the Guardian Home work?  Just curious...  I will have to keep you in mind for a future baby...It will probably take me 2 years to convince my DH to get another doodle LOL
