The pups are starting to sell!

Anyone who buys from either of you is lucky! You both breed beautiful, healthy dogs and raise them with love and care!

Good luck Tink. I know all of the puppies will go to wonderful families.

Janet, I've posted them on a free bulletin board that's sponsored by an ISP and covers the southern half of Wisconsin (I'm just outside their northernmost point) on Puppysites.com (another freebie) I'm drawing some in from Google, another free Wisconsin bulletin board called The Bubbler.com, a free Minnesota based bulletin board called Netix.com and I belong to a couple of Labradoodle sites and a labradoodle webring. So far I haven't done any paid advertising other than the cost of setting up my website.

Next week I hope to put a couple of ads in bigger city papers within a couple hrs of myself since they'll be one week away from being able to leave me.

Thanks Judy you're so kind.

Good luck finding them good homes! I'm sure the new families will just love them!

I had someone contact me tonight who I've been sending pics and info to about the puppies giving me her credit card info as proof she's serious about coming on Friday with a deposit on my little white female. (She's lucky I'm honest! I could go on a GREAT spending spree!)

She is about an hr away and sounds like a great prospective owner, so I'm thrilled. She's had labs in the past, so owning a labradoodle should be right up her alley!

What I find surprising is that the pups I thought would sell first (other than the giant black boy) are getting little if any notice. People are asking instead for my least favorites as far as looks... which is fine by me! I thought I might have more trouble finding buyers for the smooth coated white ones with the more poodley faces, but obviously my tastes are not the deciding factor! LOL Live and learn!

It's so hard to believe that it's time to look for homes already, but I know that labs are ready a lot earlier than yorkies. We got Shada when she was 7 or 8 weeks old and Reuger when he was 12 weeks old!

It also sounds like you won't have any trouble getting new homes for all of them! They're so cute that I don't know how anyone could resist taking one home!!!

They're 6 weeks old today. Time has really flown by!
I know 30 yrs ago we let them go at 6 weeks... it was the accepted norm.
These are eating fine and would probably do ok, but I plan to keep them til 8 weeks to get them a bit more time with Mama and do another worming and shots.

They're about 5-6 lbs average now so are nice and round. I'm going through about 40 lbs of puppy chow a week right now, so have 95 lbs on hand. This will get me through to the 8th week I suppose as each day they eat a little more than the day before. Will be interesting to see how many I'm still feeding at that point in time.

Well, they are all so sweet Tink, I'm surprised they all aren't spoken for already. It's that way with my Yorkies too, the last ones I think will go are usually the first. Go figure!!
