B-1 ONE LITTLE FEMALE, LOW-SHED Bordoodle X mini-Goldendoodle litter. This pup is the smallest in the litter, but not by much.  She is quite people-oriented, snuggly, playful, and very sweet: black-with-tan markings with white on her chest. As an adult dog, this little girl is expected to be lower-shed, active, super-smart, trainable, genetically sound, and personable. Great family dog, agility expert, a tireless jogging partner, and good service-dog candidate. Fyre's litter may be the easiest litter we've ever had here at XANADU. My congratulations to new pup owners! You'll be so pleased.

This litter can be picked up at XANADU in Ridgway or (last day for pick up) June 16 in Glenwood Springs.
PET HOME FEMALE PUPPY $1950

B-2 LOW-SHED Pups: Aussiepoo STARDUST has had a litter by mini-Golden Retriever, River. VERY smart puppies, beautiful; great family dogs and jogging companions; would also be service-dog candidates. New pup owners are listed by deposit-submission dates, and I'll call you to confirm selection information. This litter will go home on July 1st either from DIA in Denver or from Glenwood Springs.

1. GUARDIAN FEMALE, Jean & Brian V (one-litter Guardian)
2. GUARDIAN MALE Jo & Dolores D -- Dolores, I'll call. We can test later; no problem.
3. LITTER PICK MALE (Lefty), Lora G.
4. FEMALE, Holly B
5. FEMALE, Kenneth C & Julie Zadg
6. PET HOME Pup MALE May Be AVAILABLE -- This young boy is expected to look like Daddy-River, but he's black with white feet. His photo is attached. 
B-3. NO-SHED AUSSIEPOO/GOLDENDOODLE X COCKAPOO, PADMA'S Litter by Snow
Puppies' ready for new homes between 9th and 13th of July; one request for pick-up on the 8th. This is a no-shed litter and most pups are expected to be blue-eyed. Colors are apricot and there is one black male. Family-oriented, beautiful puppies.

This is an unusual litter: No-Shed Cockapoos, Mostly blue-eyed, a Variety of Colors, and Several Depositors opting for earlier litters. Because I want to be sure we get this right, you will be contacted about pup selection. There is still some disarray, because of Ireland's false pregnancy, etc. If you have submitted a deposit for this litter and are concerned about pup selection, you are certainly welcome to contact me before I get back with you.

B-4. BREEDING FAILURE: LOW-&-NO-SHED PUPS. IRELAND and INKY.
So very sorry, but we'll try again. Please see available no-shed pups in Padma's litter and note that Jontue's F1b Doodle litter with beautiful Rumi Wyldfyr is due NOW. We have seven new pups. Brown-eyed pups; expected colors are varying shades of apricot and apricot or gold & white. 43 lb. average sizes as adult dogs.

B-5. NO-SHED LITTER. HOLLY and Champagne. One fantastic litter. Puppy Pick-Up Weekend, July 9-10; pups are on the eastern slope. If you submitted a deposit and expected to be on this list, please let me know.
Because of Ireland's breeding failure, little Doodle availability is tight. Please note our next edition of Pup Alert. Pup photos are attached in this issue, but puppies are not yet identified. Selection according to deposit submission.

B-6 SHED & LOW-NO-SHED PUPS. UHURA'S Litter by Champion Romulus (Rommy): This litter of puppies with perfect hips and a high-level of common sense and even hunting-dog savvy and sweetness is extremely important to XANADU'S breeding program. These puppies were born on the 20th of May and will be available for new homes from the 15th of July ff. Pups will be the smartest pups you've ever known, and will help you keep in shape, jog with you, train you for marathons, and keep the children entertained. These puppies are ALL expected to have EXCELLENT hips and live especially long lives with no known or testable genetic problems. We expect brown eyes. Four pretty pups; please see group photo; more information in our next Pup Alert Newsletter.

B-7 NO-SHED. JONTUE' is a 55-lb. AKC Red Standard POODLE who has been bred to DOODLE RUMI WYLDFYR (Parti-colored gold and white, 34 lb., and 100% hips!) for an F1b NO-SHED Litter. Adult size of puppies will average about 43 lb. BOTH Jontue' and Rumi have exceptionally happy personalities. Poodles are well-known for intelligence, and Rumi is knock-your-socks-off smart. Pups should also be highly intelligent, plus have excellent hips, be great agility competitors, will have soft, beautiful coats (apricots and parti-color apricot and white expected) and brown eyes. F1b Poodle hybrids are good family and service dogs; XANADU lineages are bred for happy temperaments. Four males and three females, born 4 June 2017. These puppies can go to their new homes at the end of July. Litter photo is shown w/ Jontue' looking pretty tired.

The XANADU GOBERIANS

C-1. Standard-size GOBERIAN & (a couple of) LOW-SHED GOBERIAN PUPS
UHURA'S Pups by AKC white, blue-eyed Siberian Husky SAINT
Note: Because Uhura has such BIG litters, she was bred to two males, Romulus and Saint. Saint's litter: Wonderful standard-sized Goberian pups; SOME may be lower shed; most will look just like all other Goberians--that is, they will have Husky-like coats that will shed (like most Goberians), but all should be a bit lower shed. And there is one blue-eyed female that we think will be a NO-shed. Some of Saint's pups are solid white; some wonderfully spotted. Both Saint and Uhuru are especially sweet, alert, intelligent dogs; both are great with children and other dogs. These standard Goberian pups should be 48-53 pounds as adult dogs. Pups arrived May 20; ready for new homes in mid-July. Selection according to the dates deposits were submitted. Photos attached.
GUARDIAN PUP(S): $1000
LITTER PICK MALE: $2500
LITTER PICK FEMALE: $2500
PET HOME BLUE-EYED PUPPIES: $2250
PET HOME BROWN-EYED PUPPIES: $1950

C. Saint's Pups:
1. GUARDIAN HOME NEEDED FOR GORGEOUS No-Shed, blue-eyed FEMALE PUP
2. Julie R. Uhuru & Saint, LITTER PICK Male, Blue Eyes
3. Emily--brown-eyed white pup; waiting to see if eye color stabilizes
4. PET HOME FEMALE PUPPY AVAILABLE
5.-7. PET HOME MALE PUPPIES AVAILABLE

C-2 Low-Shed GOBERIAN Pups: ULURU and Pup Charming. Some pups will look more like mom and some more like dad; the objective is puppies that are no-to-low-shed. What we usually get are pups that are no-shed, Goberian look-alike pups that do shed, and low-shed. This litter is just happening as I write. So far, there are three little pups that are the spittin'-image of the proud poppa, Goberian Pup Charming. Expected size of these smaller GOBERIAN X pups is about 35 lb. (between 30 and 40 lb.) Both blue eyes and brown eyes are expected. Goberian Pup Charming is AKC Siberian Husky Saint's son. Uluru obviously has some mini-Poodle in her lineage, which is how we get the low-shed features, but she is also a true multigenerational: smaller, no-shed, blue merle, and with long-lived ancestors.
Traits captured in this multigenerational girl include (and see our Breeding Goals list): Low-to-no shed, Low Bark, Longevity, No Bad Doggie Odor, Target Pet-Home Size. This is a litter I have recommended for my grandchildren. Puppies will go to new homes August 4-7. Please see short newborn movie. More information in our next Pup Alert.

6-7. Plus More Pups...There are seven pups in this litter: ALL Colors 

D. Standard-size F1 GOBERIAN LITTER: Red Golden Retriever, EVE, and blue-eyed AKC Siberian Husky, UberKhan. This should be a lovely standard litter. Many have submitted deposits and hope for a pup from this litter, but it's my guess that puppies from our earlier litters may be selected instead, because ALL customers receive Pup Alert Newsletters and because it is unlikely that Eve's litter will accommodate all requests.
