AWWWW...

These gorgeous little bundles are one of the reasons why I haven't been blogging.  Rosie had her puppies on Jan

 2nd between 6 -9pm.  This was great tim

ing because it meant that the kids could watch them being born.  It was so amazing.  I have seen babies of many varieties being born but it never gets any less special.  It is such a wonderful thing.  Rosie is a fabulous mum, I didn't have to do anything, she did it all.  

All of the puppies were given names

 by us - Ollie, Edd, Spike, Buddy, Tom, Daisy, Maisy & Meg (who died at 1 day,  horrible day).  They all have new homes except for Edd.  

I think we are going to keep him.  

He's so keepable!

Edd then

Breeding puppies is a very involved business - and expensive!  But it has been so much fun.  It's such a nice feeling being able to place a beautiful puppy with a family who are desperate for a pet.  Labradoodles are the best family dog.  They don't shed, they're smart, they are very social and extremely gentle, and they are absolutely gorgeous to boot!

That's it for us though, no more breeding.  Rosie has had her 'operation' and is getting her sutures out today.
