I hope the first person to pick agrees with you and goes for green... So we can have red!!!! LOL... otherwise maybe green will be second choice and we will get her as well, or maybe yellow will be second choice, I can tell you one thing, no matter who we get we will be madly in love, each one will have good points and points that we will need to work on, that is the way it goes, The breeder is amazing, I have known her since Jack was three weeks old, talked to her frequently and now moderate her fan club page, I see hundred plus people with doodles from her and not one compliant, Not to say some issues didn't need to be adjusted but all dogs have come out mentally stable and well socialized...

 

Now I must get off the computer since Jack is staring at me and had drug his leash to the door..

Be back soon.. This is so much fun

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

Still yellow! But Red is super adorable. good choice!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Looks like you can't make a wrong choice with any of them.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Aw, they are so cute!

[Ali & Sonny D.]

I like blue boy! Oh wait not a choice lol. Green, red, yellow but I did say "oh that one" as I looked at each picture. had to look and relook a couple of times, they are all so cute!

[Jennifer and Jack]

. Blue boy is a cutie pie

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I like blue boy too!  But red was my choice from way back - either way - any of them would be fine.

[Jennifer and Jack]

My mom actually asked if she could switch and take blue boy, The temperament testing on blue boy shows he is a character, top dog. He has been observed climbing on top of everyone, jumping, humping and pushing people out of his way, He seems to be pretty independent.. Probably will be a bit more of a challenge to train and not a best choice for a 70 year old women like my mom who has never owned a dog ever...

 

Jane, I know you said red from the beginning, I think you and I were the only ones that said red.. Lets hope we get her.. If not one of the other two was just meant to be ours.

[Bonnie and Kona]

Now I see why you are choosing red girl first. All of them seem to be wonderful! You are getting a great puppy!

[shelly]

WOW!  I love them all... but do you think these early tests are accurate?  I never knew they did these....very mathematical! I would love to see what Tori's test result would have been... sometimes I think she's ALPHA (with a side order of 'stubbornness'), but I wonder what she would have scored on the sensitivity scales!  VERY interesting!  Good luck!  I hope you get your first choice!  How very exciting for you!

[Jennifer and Jack]

nay I don't put much stock in them really, They won't be six weeks until Saturday, We are going by looks here mostly..... and some heart.. and some testing.... I don't know who second choice is yet... My mom likes yellow better then green this week, last week it was green girl, Are first pick is in, we will find out Saturday at noon EST which puppy will be ours, if we ever decide on a second girl...

[shelly]

Just read the test interpretations! wow! But NO WONDER doodles love paper so much....they use a paper ball to test the retrieving! Come ON.... I say we take a stand here... ALL DOODLE OWNERS UNITE!!! ! Let's fight the use of the paper ball and chip in and get these testers a ball with the Doodle kisses logo on it! doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out! LOL
