FINAL UPDATE--HIS NAME IS "DOUGIE"
Finally a name that my family could agree on: "Dougie" (Dug-e). Now I can order a cute collar with his name on it:)))
UPDATE 2: I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE BREEDER, TODAY, CONFIRMING THAT THE CHOCOLATE BOY IS MINE!! I believe that she saw the connection too and knew that he was my FAVORITE PUP :)))) I AM THRILLED, NOW WE NEED TO NAME HIM, LOL. Thanks for all of the support and wonderful comments. Side note: Looks like we will be driving to get our pup after all. USAirways pet carrier dimensions are too small--15L x 14W x 8H--no jets from Hartford Int'l to Philly Int'l, only small planes :((( Well, I am sure that our pup will make the ride VERY interesting to say the least.
I am not yet home but I just had to give an update about my visit today...IT WAS PERFECT!! (Except for the drive to MA--HORRIBLE. The heavy rain caused flooding on the interstate that turned our 5 hr trip into an 8.5 hr trip. Needless to say, my DH will be flying to MA to pick up our puppy)
I was able to cuddle/play with every single pup and we narrowed it down to 3-- (1) the male pup; (2) a curly black girl; and (3) a cute apricot/red girl. We will know which pup is ours on Wednesday. Names for a boy: Dexter "Dex", Bodhi, Carter and Reuben. Names for a girl: Charlie, Frankie and Taylor.
If we could, we would take both parents, Paloma and Dashiell, home with us too. They were so well mannered and mild tempered. Dashielle gave me the biggest Doodle hug ever. I didn't want to let him go :)))))). My DH was extremely impressed with the parents and went outside to spend more time with them after the pups began to tire out.
Sunny, the breeder, was great. She answered our questions regarding temperament, testing, etc. for an entire hour. All of the pups were pooped out by the end of our visit; all, but one, had fallen asleep. I sorta felt sorry for the next couple but I am sure that the puppies were able to find another burst of energy. The male pup was soooo tired that two other pups were playing on top of the bed that he had fallen asleep under. (I took photos of this, I hope that they aren't blurry).
I will post pics as soon as I get home--next 20 min or so. However, I am not sure how many of them are good. Those pups were fast and would not hold still for more than a few seconds at a time. I have so much respect for those of you who are able to post great pics of your Doodles. Plus, I was busy hugging, kissing and falling in love...
Thanks for reading the book--pics are coming later tonight.
UPDATE 1:
Chocolate Male--Look at those eyes... and curly black female pup (My 1 & 2 picks)
Cuddle time with the male:
Playful black female pup--notice the pup sleeping beneath the pillow.
Curly Chocolate female
She is so mild mannered.

Annoying the sleepy male pup--the first to conk out, LOL!!
Having fun on top of "sleepy head"
Mama Paloma & Papa Dashiell--Sunny said they are off to get hair cuts soon, LOL!!
Dashiell shook his head just as my DH snapped the photo...

Wow, now that is a serious trip. Makes my trip sound like a walk in the park, LOL!! My pup may fade to a cafe color over time. Some of the previous pups kept their dark color and others faded. I'd be happy either way because I love the cafe color. It is hard to photograph but it is stunning when you see it in person. Your Doodles are gorgeous--what an awesome surprise for your partner!!

Yeah, yeah, I knew that would put the bitches' females' noses out of joint, lol. But JD is the first male I've owned, and I'm a convert. :-)

My last set of animal companions prior to Tara and Amber were a male dog, a male cat and 2 male fish. Oh, and of course my DH (animal companion). We had a severe estrogen shortage at our house-I was ready for some girls!

LOL!! I have never had a female pup but I am sure that they are delightful. I just know that all of my male dogs had such wonderful dispositions, loved to cuddle and could be huge goofballs/loads of fun. It was just meant to be...he was the ONLY MALE and I was the ONLY PERSON to request a male. I am so glad that the selections were not made by order of deposit received...I was #6 out of 7 on the list. I would've lost my little guy for sure.
