soon to be proud owner of an Aussidoodle

Next Sunday I get to pick one of these handsome guys. I'm so excited. We will probably get either a blue merle or red merle. I want a blue, but my husband wants a red.

Congratulations, Tara, and welcome to DK. In my opinion, picking by personality is so much more important than choosing by appearance. Do you know if the breeder will let everyone make their decisions closer to six weeks, when the temperament of the puppies will be more evident? If the puppies are going home on May 1, they must be mere babies now, and way too young for you make any kind of educated guess as to whether or not they will be a good fit with your family. I don't know how you could possibly choose in less than a week's time from now, unless it's by color and coat, alone.

Yes we definitely do not want to pick until they are 5-6 weeks old. We have 2nd pick and I know the 1st person is picking this weekend, I don't know why she would want to pick so early. The breeder better allow us to wait to pick. If she doesn't I won't be very happy.

Phew -- I must have misunderstood. In your original post on the eighth of March, you wrote that you were picking your puppy next Sunday, which would be four days from now. Yikes - that would be way too early to be able to assess the puppies' temperaments. I'm glad to hear that you are not going to pick your little fluff muffin so soon.

She originally said we can pick Sunday then I started thinking that it would be silly to pick so early. So I told her we were going to wait.

Hi Tara ~ It is so exciting to get a new puppy. You have found a great website to help you with all things "doodle"! When you get a chance be sure to check out the groups section on the main page and join as any as you like. Many new puppy owners join the Puppy Madness Group, Grooming Group and Food Group. I have not checked, but there may also be a group of Aussie doodle owners. If not, you can start the group yourself. I am looking forward to see the homecoming of your little doodle. Welcome to Doodle Kisses.
