Penny is Pregnant!!

We took Penny in for an ultrasound today and it was confirmed that she is pregnant. The Dr. lost count (I think), but he did feel there were "8 or 9 puppies - maybe more." Last year Penny gave birth to 11 puppies and they were all healthy and strong. She has been a wonderful Mom! We expect the same results this year.

For those of you just joining us, Penny is 24 pound Moyen/Klein poodle. That means she is considered a Standard Poodle by the AKC guidelines, but is only slightly larger than a miniature poodle, but maybe with longer legs and a calmer attitude than a miniature poodle.

The Dad is "Billy" and he is a 30 pound fluff-ball of a miniature F1 Goldendoodle. That means Penny's puppies will be F1b - or, roughly, 3-parts poodle and 1-part golden retriever. F1b Goldendoodles have an even lower likelihood of shedding or of causing allergic reactions for most people. 

Her puppies should grow to about 25-30 pounds when fully grown. There are more pictures of both Penny and Billy on our Mommy Dogs and Daddy Dogs pages, but here are a couple for starters.


Penny Loves to sleep when she is pregnant. Sometimes she sleeps too long. We have her wear a diaper - just in case.


Billy loves to play!

Here are a couple of pictures of Penny's past puppies, as sent in by their new families. These dogs are all about a year old in these pictures.




I have a list of people who have expressed a strong interest in adopting one of Penny's puppies. I will be contacting them this week, and then I will open for deposits starting Monday February 10.

More to come!
