A New Arrival


We have a new baby! After changing our minds back and fro between a cockapoo and labradoodle for the last year or so, we finally brought home Immi, our 9 week old (not so wee) scruffy hair coat labradoodle!

She is gorgeous, so sweet, gentle, intelligent and outright adorable. We've only had her since Saturday, and she's pretty much house-trained (coming in from a pen and yard raised litter,) telling us when she wants to go out. Only a couple of accidents when her bladder takes her by surprise! Overnight, she is in her bed in our room and behaves like a dream, she uses the newspaper we put down for her.

Anyway, enough talk, here's some pics of Immi!





Many more photos to come!!!

Re: A New Arrival


What a darling, a total poppet!

One of the teachers at the boys' school has a black labradoodle; and she's adorable (albeit full grown).

They're 'hypoallergenic' aren't they? Apparently it's the only dog I could have as I have quite a bad dog allergy . . .

Miniature Schnauzers too, or Poodles Yola. As a lifetime asthmatic, I can attest to the fact that Miniature Schnauzers really are non-allergenic and non shedding.

Re: A New Arrival


We introduced her to the cats right away. Willow glanced Immi's way once, and decided she didn't care if there was a dog in the house and hasn't bothered since Sami was quite disapproving to begin with but wasn't scared of her, and big fat Felix, our dominant top cat was absolutely terrified. After giving him 24 hours to calm down (in which time he had spent entirely hiding in my wardrobe) I applied the out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire method, bringing him into the lounge with Immi and shutting the door. After a few mins of bushytaildness and backarchyness his fears were resolved, and he now considers her with that air of cat superiority over dumb canines

Yola, a labradoodle isn't always hypo allergenic but they are very low moulting. It depends on their genetics. A wooly Australian labradoodle is more likely to be hypo allergenic than a UK back crossed labradoodle. The only breeds considered truly hypo allergenic are Poodles and Schnauzers. Poodle crosses are less likely to cause problems but as they are crossed with shedding varieties there are different coat types. With Labradoodles the wooly and fleece coats are generally considered hypo allergenic, the scruffy hair coats a little less so, and the smooth hair coats even less. But hypo allergenic only means minimal shedding of down, not complete lack of it.

Immi had her first set of injections today, so got four weeks left until we get to walk her, can't wait! She is coming out with us to non-doggy places, like family and friend's houses. She's having a bath this evening so that should be fun!

More pics!
