DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[DisneyLaura]

Laura - this woman I think sometimes breeds miniature poodles with goldens so the 2 litters I'm looking at are not quite as large as some goldendoodles. The max she claims is 60 lbs which I'm okay with. Phoebe is 55 but long and lean, while doodles I think look bigger and more "robust".

Miniature poodles I think would be better then as in size. This dog is big but very cute and friendly. Let us know how it goes.

That touched my heart. Poor little guy. Working part time when they are little is the best. I felt like when I got tired of being home, it was time to go to work, and when I was tired of work, it was time to be home. What a blessing for you to have your mom there. And we still use Disney bribes with our kids to this day. That's how we get them to continue to come on vacation with us.

I worked at the same place three years ago and actually he wasn't my problem it was my other son (he was 4 going on 5 at the time) that hated me going to work four nights a week. I cried driving to work every night because I missed being with them terribly. My DH told me to quit but we needed the insurance (he's self employed). But like I told you before I use Disney as the reason why I'm going back, which some of it is true but mostly the extra little money with help with the fianances. My mom acutally works herself but had some time off this week so it worked out that she could watch the kids yesterday. Normally I'll go in after my DH gets home from work. Glad to know that Disney still helps with your kids, I think Disney is more for me most of the times.

Hey Peeps!!!

I am still stressing the weather for the wedding day last night I had a dream I was crying because it poured and in my dream i said to my mom "this isnt how I pictured my wedding day" then she started crying and I actually woke up this morning with tears in my eyes..and YES i know in the grand scheme of life it raining on your wedding day is NOTHING compared to the other trials and tribulations people come through on a daily basis, but I keep thinking how hard my fiance is working and how how my father has worked and sacrificies his whole life to pay for my special day so I think we deserve and am hoping for a little sunshine.

Lauren - my aunt always put a statue of Mary looking outside on a window sill for good weather (if your catholic). She did it with everyone's wedding in our family. But don't worry your day will be fine

OK...does this seem like an unusual breeding to anyone else??? The "breeding" process of two such different size dogs just puts a strange visual in my head. Maybe it's just me!

It did sound weird to me and I'm actually not 100% on what/how she does it. (although it does happen "naturally" all the time. Ever see a beagle / lab mix? Talk about size differences?) But it does advertise that they can come in different sizes. My guess is maybe she either does a mini poodle and a smaller golden or a small poodle and small golden. My phoebe is actually taller than most goldens I see in our neighborhood but weighs much less. And the weights for a standard can very greatly. They could be as light as 40-45 or as big as 75 lbs. And that's not overweight. Also, maybe the mother of the dogs makes a difference? Like if the mom is the smaller dog, the puppies might be smaller because of how she has to grow them in her uterus? Totally making that up though.....

Oh just remembered something - on her site she has pics of all parents (there are lots) and they are all standards, goldens, or previously bred goldendoodles - no mini's. So I think I'm wrong. Strike the mini poodle comment from the record.

The website looks very well run as does their "business". There is even a discussion forum for potential and current dog owners who have purchased a dog from them. And the dogs are so freakin' cute!

Lynda - that is so strange. 8 weeks seems so young to be "old"! Aren't they supposed to stay somewhere like 6-8 weeks with the mom before going to a new home though?

I would risk it though...my personal opinion is you can bond with a dog no matter what age. Look at the bazillions of rescues that are typically adults and just love their new families? Just a thought - definitely not based on anything factual

I know! Jasper was 3.5 lbs when we brought her home, and we thought that was tiny! They say 8 weeks with mom, but I think our instructor was saying that it isn't an issue for them to leave mom earlier. (Funny! I DO remember Jasper's mom looking REALLY tired and ready for us to take her away when we went to visit the breeder a few weeks earlier. )

I agree. I think it's possible to bond with a pet at any age. I don't think taking them home earlier is a necessity. Just thought I'd share the info, for what it's worth. I don't even know what I'll do with it when we get another dog. Keep us posted Shannon! I can't wait to "meet" a new Peep puppy!

Hey Peeps!!!

Sorry I have not been posting as frequently I am SUPER busy with the last minute details of the wedding. Yesterday alone I completed the seating chart and fill out the Limo paperwork for the 2 limos we are using that day along with 2 55 passenger motor coaches (similiar to the magical express buses) to transport guests from the hotel to the reception area.

I had my second fitting on Friday at Kleinfelds, I was extremely happy because while I had my dress on the owner of kleinfelds came over to me personally commented on how much she loved my dress!!! I thought she was just saying it to me but then she proceeded to write down who the designor was and the style number she told me she loves it so much she wants to recommend my dress to other girls!!!

This weekend I have my girlfriends bachelorette party in Montauk the weather is not looking so hot for the weekend!

I am still stressing the weather for the wedding day last night I had a dream I was crying because it poured and in my dream i said to my mom "this isnt how I pictured my wedding day" then she started crying and I actually woke up this morning with tears in my eyes..and YES i know in the grand scheme of life it raining on your wedding day is NOTHING compared to the other trials and tribulations people come through on a daily basis, but I keep thinking how hard my fiance is working and how how my father has worked and sacrificies his whole life to pay for my special day so I think we deserve and am hoping for a little sunshine.

I stressed about weather on my wedding day too, and this didn't help me feel much better, but I'll say it anyway... It's good luck if it rains on your wedding day. Or so they say anyway. Is your wedding outside? I can't remember. And which weekend is it? I know it's coming up fast. No matter what happens it will be OK. It'll be better than OK. It'll be beautiful!

I wasn't even thinking about it, but now that you mention it, yeah. When I hear about mixed breeds with two dogs really different in size, I do usually wonder how it worked.

 

[Wonders10]

I just submitted an application! Yikes. Now I'm nervous. They are supposed to call you with 48 hours or something so we'll see what the deal is. I have this feeling that all the puppies are already "spoken for".

I have 2 Goldens (golden retrievers) and totally love them! But they are easily in the 80-100 pound range!
These goldendoodles are kinda cute too!

Interesting!

Funny you should ask this but I heard the reason that they mixed these two breeds was mainly for allergy purposes, does not shed. That's what the woman who I know that has one (her DD and my sons go to the same school)

Yes that is one of them. Poodles are hypoallergenic and non-shedding. Often though the first litter of puppies will still shed some since the golden is 50% of the dna however mating a poodle and an already bred goldendoodle increases the odds that they will be non-shedding. Great for those with allergies. I don't have allergies but it IS nice not to have dog hair all over the place.

Plus the overall temperament and personalities of both these dogs can't be beat. Have you ever heard anyone say awful things about goldens or poodles? I know I haven't.

And let's be honest - they are freakin' adorable!

My friend sent me an article about rain on your wedding day when I was stressing about the weather - it is good luck in some countries apparantly!

(I hope the link works?)

 

[DisneyObsession]

Thanks to all of you for the explanations of the goldendoodles. I would like a dog that didn't shed as much as my black lab...this time of year she affects my allergies! Most of the time she doesn't bother me though.

LMO429-I have heard that rain is good luck in many countries. I have a friend who had severe weather on her wedding and they now have been together over 20 years! Yup...seems like good luck to me!

 

[UtahMama]

I had never heard of Goldendoodles before, Shannon, but DANG, they are soooo cute!
You are right though on temperment. Should make for a wonderful companion!!!

So yesterday was Taco Tuesday at Del Taco and I may have eaten 3 since then. Grrrr, darn taco tuesday!

That darn shredded iceburg lettuce and 1 tsp. of clumped of shredded chesse is just soooo good!
