- Claire here from Van Isle Labradoodles,
and another tale from the doodle den today.
Today what we're doing is the six week update
for the Perrito Fiesta litter.
These multi-generation mini Australian labradoodles
are getting pretty close to their time
to be allocated to their families.
So today what we're going to do is a little brief,
initial assessment of each of the puppies.
We use a variety of different methods.
We've combined them together to develop our own
style for assessing the puppies.
They haven't had their formal assessments yet.
This is just a preliminary one.
This is based on the notes that Reynold,
myself, and our assistant have made,
from the time the puppies have been born
right through to today when they are six weeks old.
So we're gonna start with each individual puppy,
and give you just a little synopsis,
and a tiny snapshot of what they're all about today.
So, first one here, is going to be
the biggest boy in the litter.
This little guy is our chocolate and white parti,
and he is the big fellow.
He is always the one who does everything first,
he is brave beyond all belief, he has no fear of anything.
He loves to explore and go and try everything that's new.
Whatever the first thing is that's happening,
he's the one who's gonna do it.
He was the first one outside, down the ramp,
the first one to walk, and so on.
He really is the leader of the pack.
But he's also a sweet, sweet boy, very gentle and kind,
and you can see he loves to be snuggled and give kisses.
So that's the parti boy.
The next one here that we'll do,
we'll pick right here.
This is Light Blue Collar.
He's one of the smaller puppies in the group,
and you can see he's got the really pretty white markings.
This guy is a doll.
He is a snuggle bug.
He loves to be with people all the time,
his favorite thing is to be held,
but he's also quite outgoing, he loves to explore.
Today I had them all outside and he was rolling around
in the leaves having a great time.
I'll give you some pictures of those events a little later.
So he's the nice, balanced, all-round fellow,
with lots and lots of personality
and lots of snuggles and kisses.
A great guy.
Now, right here, this is the only girl from the litter.
This is Orange Collar, and she's also a little tiny one.
She and Light Blue Collar are the
two smallest puppies in the litter.
She is a little bit quieter.
She is mostly interested in being held
and having kisses and hugs, and she's very affectionate,
and she, too, likes to go out
and run around and have a great time.
You can see she likes to kiss and snuggle up,
just like the others do.
They are a very affectionate litter.
Lovely puppies.
Then over here, our next puppy here is Mr. Green Collar.
Mr. Green Collar is smack dab in the middle
of the group in terms of size.
(whimpering)
Oh, it's okay.
It's okay, honey.
You can see Orange Collar is getting a little jealous.
He's a sweet fellow, he's very considerate.
He likes to think things through before he takes action.
And he's almost right smack dab in the middle of the pack.
He's also very cuddly and snuggly,
and just a little bit quieter than
the first three that we went through there.
He's a really nice little guy.
And our last puppy here is another one of the big guys.
He's almost as big as the parti fellow is.
He may actually even weigh the same.
This is Purple Collar.
Purple Collar is the one who thinks about things the most.
He likes to be sure that it's safe before he does something,
and he appears to be camera shy as well.
He likes to hang back and wait and see what everyone else
does before he pulls forward and joins in the group.
Once he decides that it's something safe
and fun to do though, he's right in there full steam ahead.
And he loves his kisses too.
So that's the Perrito Fiesta litter
and their little mini assessments.
Next week when we get back together,
we'll talk about what they're eating,
how to feed them, and all those sorts of things,
their treats as well.
So we hope you enjoyed this little information session
on your mini labradoodles from Van Isle Labradoodles.
Please feel free to send some comments or questions.
Post your questions, I'm happy to answer any of them
here on the video.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks.
