Wheaten Terrier............................................Standard Poodle
Yes, after some deliberation J and I have decided on a new dog. We're going with a breeder in a town about 45 minutes from here(http://www.doodletreasures.com/) that J got in touch with thru a newspaper ad. The breeder has been very wonderful and prompt in returning e-mail and sympathetic at our loss of Sammy Dog. The mixed breed we have settled on is a Whoodle which is a Wheaten Terrier Standard Poodle cross, it will be non-shedding and about half the adult weight of Sam although only a little shorter. J really wanted to go with a breed(but not pure) so that we would have a good idea what the adult dog's temperament would be like and a puppy because of our 7 year old cat. Since Sammy was his dog I feel strongly that the choice, in the end, should be his; So he will be the one to pick out the puppy and name it.
The breeder(hereafter called MJ) is planning on breeding her two Wheaten females sometime soon and will let us know when the breeding takes place and when/if the pregnancies take. She will also be sending us pictures of the Moms and Dad. We should be bringing our puppy home sometime in July. I won't get into cost here, I will be the one saving to pay for the pup as a Big make-up Birthday present for J since I am normally very bad about getting him anything for his birthday. If I hadn't stepped up and said I would save and pay for the pup we wouldn't have gotten one, J really wanted one but couldn't see himself paying that much.
So now everyone knows...we're expecting, a puppy that is!!

Will add pictures later-one of each parent breed and the acutal dogs when I get shots of them.
