Today we had some overcast sky and decided to take the pups to the park for socialization and fun.

This first video we are learning how to navigate the slide.

In the second video we take a walk, learn how to follow and not fear new things.

In this last video we are getting a drink, cooling off, and heading to the car.

Jay is tentatively available for placement to an exceptional home.  I can’t decide if I want to keep him, he is so amazing!   The only problem is he is related to all my girls.  He is 10 weeks old and will mature to be a large male, blue in color (around 26+ inches tall at the shoulders). He will make a great dog for doing just about anything. He is bright and also independent, yet still stable and confident. He is not hyper.  He has a high prey drive so he will chase things that run, but I am working on this issue and he is responding well.  He is doing excellent with our cats. He is a good retriever and loves to play tug.  His temperament is my favorite to train and work with.  Calm, focused, intelligent, social, confident.

Adopt fee is $1500.00 with limited AKC papers and a neuter agreement.  Co-ownership or Foster home who will keep him intact for breeding later would be considered.

UPDATE: JAY HAS A HOME!

PEDIGREE FOR GEORGIE X RIVER LITTER

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%
12-generation COI    4.20%
