*Poppy is now retired. She has produced such gorgeous, sweet and wonderful babies for us. There isn't a more loyal or devoted dog anywhere than Poppy. She's an old soul, very emotionally connected to us. Very intuitive. She is the quintessential momma, loves being a mom. Her babies carry on her wonderful qualities and fabulous conformation. She is the foundation of our breeding program. I don't know if the retirement is harder on her or on us!

RETIRED

*Our sweet Rosie is now retired. Rosie produced some of our most gorgeous and smartest labradoodles. She and Poppy were the matriarchs of our breeding program. Rosie lives with us and her new role will be as a doting doodle grandmother. Rosie thinks she's everybody's momma, and she will continue to help us care for the puppies. Rosie has everyone she meets wrapped around her cute little labradoodles paws! Rosie is a confident, social girl who loves to be in the center of her family. She has passed those qualities on to her puppies. We love you Rosie!

RETIRED

*Jambalaya is now retired. She has produced some of the sweetest, most loving miniature labradoodles for us in reds and chocolates. Jambalaya is very intelligent and expressive, and loving. She is loyal and devoted to her people and quite a charmer. She has her care family wrapped around her little paws. She will continue to live with her brother and her care family for the rest of her days as a pampered princess. We will miss you Jambalaya!

*Flame is now retired. He just had his very last litter with Emmy! These two produce such gorgeous babies together, and his swan song litter was absolutely fabulous. We have retained his beautiful daughter Yuki for our breeding program, provided she passes all her health testing. Yuki joins her mommy Emmy in her fabulous guardian home, where she will happily reside the rest of her days. Flame will remain in his guardian family where he lives with his human parents and another Rutland labradoodle, Lanabelle. We will miss you Flame!

We are very sad to announce our beloved Mitch has passed away. An autopsy was performed, his heart and all organs were normal and healthy. His stomach was full of walnuts. Moldy walnut toxicosis in a dog, caused by the mycotoxin, penitrem A, can cause seizures in dogs and can be fatal. We sadly believe it was the walnuts that killed him.We hope this note will cause all dog owners to be vigilant and keep walnuts away from their dogs and puppies! We are devastated by the loss of our beloved boy, as is his care family.
