There is no doubt that our Georgie girl is pregnant!  Do the happy dance with me!  Georgie is 5 years old and after last year’s failed fresh chilled semen attempt I was afraid I had simply waited to late to breed her for the first time.  We are all extremely excited about this litter.  So many great homes I hope to fill with some really special pups.  Courtney sent me some photos of the pregnant mama.  She’s looking good and you can see her little tummy showing.

We should have another beautiful litter of Blacks and Blues (maybe Creams) born near the end of this month (March 2012), ready for their new homes by the end of May.  This will be our second and final litter for the year and these puppies will mature medium to large Standard Poodles (23-26 inches).

Georgie and River, November 2011

This litter will be born and raised to 6 weeks of age by Courtney, Georgie and River’s mom in Northwest Arkansas.  Courtney and I have been talking often about what she will be doing with the pups.  They will get the Bio-sensory exposure, as well as extra things I do with my babies.  She is totally on board with everything we do and willing to do what is best for the pups.  I will be making a trip to AR to return Zelda to her family after all her pups have gone to their homes, near the last week in March / first week in April.  I will be visiting Courtney, hopefully the pups will have just been born during my trip, so I can take some awesome newborn photos.  Also, I have a trip planned to Europe for 2 weeks while the puppies are young, so this is the best option for everyone involved.  Once I return from my trip, I will pick the pups up after they are weaned, around 6 weeks of age.  This will give me a few weeks to train them into the little Poo pups I love!

Price for a pet with AKC limited registration will be $1500.00.  Please contact me for an adoption application.  I will not take a deposit until the pups are born, but I would be happy to add you to my waiting list.

PEDIGREE FOR GEORGIE X RIVER LITTER

These two should produce a nice mix of working dogs and pets.

The average Coefficient of Inbreeding for a Standard Poodle is 15%.  This litter is 2.02%.  The lower the number, the lower the inbreeding.
Genetic information for Test breeding GerogiexRiver from PoodlePedigree.com website:

The COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) is calculated up to a maximum of 12 generations. The COI is calculated entirely from the pedigree information present in the database, so if there are inaccuracies in the pedigree, there will also be inaccuracies in the COI. I try to run the COI every Friday. If there is an error on Friday that means I will have to correct the error and rerun the coi on Saturday. For information on what the COI figure means, see http://www.canine-genetics.com/relation.htm, particularly where it discusses the inbreeding coefficient. For a more complete discussion of genetic principles, visit the Canine Diversity Project.

10-generation COI    2.03%
