Flossy's Diary

July 2007

July10th - As at 8.00pm this evening - still not in season.
Can everyone on the list please drop me an e-mail?

June 2007

Flossy was in season over Christmas 2006 and is showing all the usual signs of being nearly in season now (June 11th 2007). All being well, she'll be mated to the same dog as last year, a lovely Chocolate Labrador called "Lets Duck and Run" (Charlie) and produce her litter of puppies 63-65 days later (August?).

These pups will be raised holistically and will be ready to go to their new homes around the end of October.

Visitors are always welcome (by appointment).

We do not wish to cause any offence, but we will not sell you a puppy if you or any member of your family have allergies to dogs or cats.

This superior litter is available only to clients keen to feed the raw natural diet that the puppies have been weaned on to and
who will follow a very strict vaccination schedule, if indeed, they vaccinate at all.
Homeopathic Nosodes are preferred.


Recommended Health Tests

The Kennel Club, as the regulating body for all pedigree dogs in the UK, publish hip and elbow dysplasia and eye examination results and add the result to the dog's pedigree record, as well as to the records of any progeny of the dog.

Essential Reading

These are the books that I would highly recommend if you want to own one of the Barleors Puppies.

One of these books is included with the purchase price of your puppy (you just need to let me know which one you'd like).

May I recommend that you own Grow Your Pup With Bones well before you pick up your puppy?

 

Grow your pup with bones
The Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog. The latest version of Wendy Volhard's best seller. Should be on your bookshelf.
Just click on the book to go straight to CrossKeysBooks.com and get yourself a copy!

Barleors Labradoodles are not for fair-weather-walkers nor for the faint-hearted! They are HIGH ENERGY, BIG dogs (24" or higher at the shoulder). They need training and exercise (and plenty of both) to keep them sane and they can shed as much as their Labrador father! Here are some pictures of a very typical walk with Hermione (Chocolate Labradoodle) and her mother, Flossy - an Apricot Standard Poodle...
