We went to visit the puppy we picked out last week today and took some pics. She's a Golden Doodle, half Standard Poodle/half Golden Retriever. She is around 12 weeks old at the moment and she comes home for good on 20 Feb.







On the way home.


Enjoying her bed.


Still working on sitting in the middle of it.


Playing with the kids.


She really likes sitting in the snow.

Cute!

Interesting mix. Is it going to stay poodle sized or will it get Sheppard big? And pretty eyes!

No, she'll get to be about 70-80 pounds and depending on how much of her father she has (the poodle) she might stand about three feet or so at the chest. So around the size of a Sheppard.

LOL at the mental image of a Poodle sexing up a Sheppard.

Adorable. You must have skills that I don't, because every time I try to take pictures of my dog, all I get is a giant nose. (Unless he's sleeping, that is.)

I have someone distract her.

Ever seen a Standard Poodle?

Imagine something that looks like those wee fluffy things, but is the length of a German Shepherd and about a head taller.

They're not small dogs in the slightest.

Huh. Learn something new every day. I always thought they were those tiny little yappy dogs.

Nope, those are minature poodles.

A standard poodle is this:

A dog originally bred to fight Lions....

Well thats the general idea.

BTW, the thread has been updated now that she's home.

The name is very appropriate for your dog.

It means "cute" or "beautiful" in German, right?

Cute, yes. "Süße" (or anglicized suesse; literally: "sweetie") is quite a popular tearm of endearment in Germany. It can mean cute, cutie or sweetie as well as sweet thing etc.

I was afraid that it was in refrence to the children's book author....
