Emily with Sophie (Brady's mother) as a puppy with her parents, Snow White and Bow Doodle. (Breeder: Kathryn Lee of Make Way For Doodles www.makewayfordoodles.com)
Sophie at 6 months old.
Hiawatha ("Hia"), Brady's father.
Hia and Sophie in September of 2009. Both are golden-doodles, a combination of golden retriever and poodle breeds. Brady's paternal grandmother, Star, is a purebred golden retriever. Kathryn, the breeder, has told me wonderful stories about Star, highlighting how smart and heroic a dog she is.
I like to think that some of that has passed down through the genes to Brady.
Newborn pups!

The pictures above were taken during a playdate at Emily's on February 18, 2010 when the pups were 13 weeks old. It took forever to get them to sit on this chair together. It was kind've like herding cats. I'd get Brady to sit and Joey would go bounding off, then, the opposite would happen. Emily had about one second to get this shot while I was making high-pitched noises to get them to look at me like I was some sort of alien. It's easier to get the candid shots like the picture on the right of Joey and Brady "sharing" a bully stick.
You may notice that Joey looks like a mini version of Sophie.

I realize that Brady doesn't look very much like his parents. Guess you could say he's the odd duck of his litter... A very handsome odd duck, indeed.
