Today we had our first official breeding between Jazz and River. I was concerned my boy would be to short in the straddle to get the job done with such a tall lady, but he proved me wrong.
Due date for this litter is November 20th, 2013. Ready for homes after January 15th, 2014! Mark your calendars everyone, it is time to get excited!!
Information on this litter:
Jazz is a lovely large blue Standard Poodle with a strong prey and play drive and is a great retriever. She is a go getter, extremely friendly (to extreme maybe??), and can be a little pushy. She is FUNNY and enjoys making people laugh. Jazz is simply amazing with kids, not dominant or aggressive. She is to rough with small dogs and will chase a cat any time she can. Jazz is a bit higher drive than some family’s want in a pet, but she is perfect for me or an active household. I love her! She has a cast iron tummy, never gets sick. She is a little on the thin side, but not skinny. She just doesn’t ‘love’ food and eats only when she is hungry. She has no separation anxiety and I could leave Jazz with anyone, she would be totally fine. She has a love of balls and toys that is so cute! I still haven’t convinced her the kids stuffed toys are not hers. Jazz is very self assured and confident that life is all about fun! You will never find a happier dog than Jazz. As my nephew said “Everyone loves Jazz. She’s pretty, gregarious, and cheerful. If it was high school, she’d be that one cheerleader everyone likes!”
River is a sharp looking smaller black boy with a calm loving attitude. He is almost lazy!! He is the first intact male that I have ever owned who is almost fat. Most boys are so skinny it is scary, but not River. He is what we call an ‘easy keeper’, with the attitude that food is a very important aspect of his life. He never misses a meal and will eat Jazz’s food if she doesn’t finish up. River is more reserved with strangers, less driven than Jazz. He is good with cats and great with small dogs, due to a low prey drive. I can safely take River off leash anywhere and he will listen with no issues. He sees no reason to run off gallivanting or getting into trouble. He is a jewel with children of all ages. Even with his lazy attitude, he still has a nice retrieving drive and will play fetch with me for long periods. River is a talker and communicates with Rumbles and low barks to make himself known. When he wants something, he will bug you until you get it, he won’t be ignored! River is more needy than Jazz and in typical boy style prefers to be right under my feet 24-7. He can be a little morose about life, which I find incredibly funny. He reminds me of Merlot, without the jerky dominant traits. I love love love this dog.
These two dogs compliment each other in so many ways, both mentally and physically. I’m excited to see what they produce as far as temperament and style. Would you be interested in a puppy from River and Jazz? Colors will be Black, Blue, and MAYBE Cream / White. I believe we will get a nice mix of calm pets and moderate performance prospects. All pups should make exceptional therapy prospects. The size should be mid size dogs with light to moderate substance (not big heavy dogs), from 22-25 inches. Contact me to schedule a visit or to inquire about an application. You can fill out the form above or email me directly at Becky@anutta.com. Price for a puppy is $1500.00 with Limited Registration.

Genetic information for JazzxRiver
The COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) is calculated up to a maximum of 12 generations. However, if a generation is found where fewer than 75% of the dogs in that generation are known, the calculation stops just short of that generation. So if all dogs are known in the 5th generation but only half of them are known in the 6th generation, a 5-generation COI will be calculated. For dogs with more than 10 generations of pedigree information available, a 10-generation COI is also calculated for comparison and statistical purposes.
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 Saturday. The calculations take about 14 hours to run. .
10-generation COI 2.73%
12-generation COI 5.09%Top 5 ancestors contributing to COI, in order of influence:
AM CH Haus Brau Executive Of Acadia TP 0.55%
AM/CAN CH Wycliffe Michael 0.51%
AM CH Eaton Affirmed TP 0.43%
AM/CAN CH Wycliffe Kenneth 0.35%
AM CH Wycliffe Genevieve 0.32%

My goal is to always breed litters with a COI of less than 6%. This litter meets those guidelines.
