- About Me:
- I'm a retired biology teacher with three grown kids and a hubby who retired from teaching several years ago. I have always had dogs, but Mattie was my first doodle. She's great! She is a certified therapy dog and we are enjoying her company every day. I added Lyric a year later and she also passed her therapy dog test but she is totally different from Mattie and lots of fun. She has had a bunch of wonderful pups for the breeder I got her from (she is in a guardian home with me which means we have a contract for Lyric to have some pups). Mattie is 6 and Lyric is 5. I kept one of Lyric's puppies, Rio, a black and white partidood who was 2 in January of 2013--so I have three LDs now-and that will have to be it! My husband will not be happy if I add any more!
- What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
- My FIRST doodle is a medium labradoodle--her dad was an apricot mini-poodle and her mother was a red lab. She weighs 35 pounds, has deep red wavy hair with deep brown eyes and a rose nose and does not shed much at all. I got her from Tango Wool labradoodles--I have met many of the doodles from Tango Wool's litters and they are all great! I also have an apricot australian labradoodle named Lyric--much bigger than Mattie, but that's OK since Mattie loves to play with bigger dogs. Lyric's puppy, Rio, born 1/1/11 is a black and white parti and adorable! We just couldn't give him up--so now we are a three doodle family!
- Where did you get your doodle(s)?
- Breeder
- Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
- I wanted a non-shedder with a lab disposition--now I know that many doodles do shed--i have a non-shedder, a low shedder and a medium shedder!
- What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
- Walks in the woods and kayaking with the doodles --- I also like to just hang out with the doodles on the couch at the end of a long day...they are happy to just play together as long as I am nearby--three velcro dogs!
- Does your doodle(s) shed?
- A little bit but nothing major
- Who grooms your doodle(s)?

Retiring from the puppy raising business
Posted on February 17, 2018 at 9:59am 19 Comments 0 Favorites
Hi all--those of you who have been friends since the beginning o Doodle Kisses may remember that I have been raising pups for a reputable breeder since 2011--I started just 6 months after retiring from teaching high school Biology for 34 years with my labradoodle Lyric's litters and then expanding to other females, including Lyric's daughter's three litters--It has been a lot of fun and I have loved the pups and enjoyed keeping in touch with all the new owners....after raising 16 litters,…

I really wanted to take some cute outdoor shots today for the fifth week photos, but it rained on and off--so I got them outside briefly for head shots and some play--of course, the grass was wet and they were a mess quickly, but still cute!
I am using a new litter box system with these pups--I use a kitty litter called Yesterday's news and I sprinkle it on puppy pads (a large area of them) for the first few weeks after their eyes open--when they are using the pads consistently, I…

Getting cuter by the day! Momma dog is still so great with them and now gets into the playing--so gentle with them and they love it!
These are their four week portraits, starting with the 6 girls...but the breeder requested one more hat photo, so I will start with that one--too cute!…
Here we go again! Puppies in hats!!
Posted on May 26, 2015 at 6:29am 20 Comments 1 Favorite
It's that time again! For those of you who followed my puppy blogs in the past, I always put hats on my pups when they reach the three week old mark--these hats are from elaborate clothing you can get for a toy called a Muffy bear. So, yesterday was the day! And here are the results! (One puppy is missing--his photos were blurry and need a do over!)
(More to come in the comments section--somehow, I am always limited to a certain number of pictures...)…

Yes, I did say 11! Momma had an easy time and all went well--signs of labor started on May 1st, but she was due on May 6th and we managed to keep them all in there until the 5th--all were large, vigorous and active pups! 6 girls, 5 boys...8 blacks, two chocolates and one apricot!
Momma Gliss was very tired by the end of the four hours of whelping, but after a nap she was up and trotting around the yard--she is an athletic active girl who has been a terrific momma! She has finally…

Sullivan's first Christmas. That will be special for sure.
Yep, my husband would say I was crazy for putting up doodle cards all over the place. Besides, it is expensive. I even do e-mail Christmas cards to people that I have their e-mail address. That is most people that I know. I print out a few of my cards to mail to any others. Works for me.
This is a bit different, Ginny, because it is mailed cards, not e-mail cards. I like the e-mail cards because it is a lot cheaper. You make one card and then send it e-mail to everyone on the list. Then you can print out the ones you want to have permanently. I did it for several years, but not last year because we were in the middle of a move. I will try again this year.
