| Toy-Mini-Standard size 6 week old pups |
|
| Just for a reference for you guys, since my photos don't have people in them, I thought I'd show you side by side the different size pups I have. All three pups are within a day or two of 6 weeks old. The little toy boy is about 2lbs, the mini about 4lbs and the standard about 7lbs, all at the same age.

JUST MOVED HERE TO DE-CLUTTER MY PUPPY PAGE Ok folks, I really have to address something on my puppy page, where most of you head first, because I feel it is very important. I do not want to put down ANY other serious Aussiedoodle breeder but I have been getting calls from many potential buyers quoting what they've been told by other breeders that is just NOT TRUE. I have heard that some of them will not breed anything but F1's, or F1's and F1b's but not F2b's (or Multigens) because they might:
A: not be stocky like a real Aussie or
B:start shedding after they reach a year old.
I just want to say that I am doing this to develop a TRUE BREED, because after almost 40 years with dogs as my cornerstone in my life I have found a potential for 'my' perfect breed. To these remarks all I have to say is that getting the kind of dog you want to breed comes down to:
1. having a good breeding program(or any 'program' for that matter)
2.knowing what you are doing in choosing/keeping your breeding stock
3.testing your breeding stock for hereditary defects and culling or making
more informed breeding combinations
4.and re-injecting the poodle every third or fourth generation 'if
necessary', as was done with developing the Labradoodle into a 'breed'
The original Labradoodle breeders are a very good reference and they are the ones who coined the terms F1, F1b, etc and they have established the blueprint for developing a Doodle as a 'breed'.
If your dogs don't look like Aussiedoodles and are shedding then choose your breeding stock more carefully and learn your lines so you know what they are going to throw...as anyone who has shown dogs AKC for many years learns when they breed their first litter. And, if you are not doing this breeding because you love the Aussiedoodle and want to make it the best breed you can then I have to ask you...what is your only goal for breeding these great dogs??? If you don't believe in the Aussiedoodle and their potential then the 'breeds' future doesn't need you.
I am also not telling you not to buy from people making these remarks, F1's and F1b's are great also. My only exception is that either they don't know what they are talking about, or, are lying to people to sell dogs and that is the unacceptable part to me. If they actually believe what they are saying then that is the worst part of all...
Sorry, had to sound off against mis-information. I do not consider myself an expert on this subject, or any for that matter, I just know I attend every seminar and read any book on genetics, training, etc. that I can get my hands on and that I have ever since I can remember being able to read or ask questions and learn. I would term myself more a 'student' of dog breeding, rather than an expert, as I learn new things every day and hope to the rest of my life. I still have friends that are professional dog handlers and AKC show judges and try to keep current and continue to learn all I can about dogs. Don't believe me about genetic questions, ask your Veterianarian or, don't believe me about the coats then ask a professional dog groomer(assuming they have actually seen or groomed an Aussiedoodle and are not just regurgitating what they have 'heard' about them)... since they don't have anything they are trying to sell you.
THANKS to all my past and future buyers, I love you all!!.

WHAT IS NEXT AFTER THE DEPOSIT? Just a word on the payment policy after the initial down payment. This is my most frequent question I get so I'll address it here. If you would like to pay your balance by check then I must have it in my possession by the time the pup is 6 weeks old or immediately after the down payment if the pup should be over this age when you place the down payment. Please make this out to 'JOYCE WALLACE' not Pecan Place Kennels. If you would like the convenience and security of using Paypal then the final payment is due at the time I book your puppies' flight or 3 days before they leave home. In order to use this option you must add 3% to the total price to cover the fee that I am charged. You may add your shipping fee to your final total and after years of doing this I am charging a standard fee of 350 for all pups under 15 lbs (this covers even the standard size babies), and you may include this in your final payment that is due at the six week deadline. The shipping fee covers the actual flight, crate, health certificate and insurance on your pup. This gives time for checks to clear the bank before the puppy actually leaves home.
