Brandy’s Story

AKC Name: Laurie and Joe’s Labs Brandy, CGC, RN
DOB: 6/9/21
AKC Number: SS27957004

Brandy came to us as a breeding prospect at 8 weeks of age from FIFA English Labradors. We had attempted a fourth breeding with Bailey and Labs by the Lake Klaus but that pairing was not meant to be as no puppies were born. We so wanted a Klaus puppy and Deanna ( Klaus’ owner) was kind enough to guide us to Gena( the owner of FIFA English Labradors) who was having a litter sired by Klaus. Long story short, we were fortunate enough to acquire Brandy, Klaus’ daughter. Brandy fit right in with our other dogs as if she was born here. She has sailed though her preliminary health testing with good scores. Brandy is training well and showing the steady temperament of both of her brothers( who are training to be service dogs). After completing her final health certifications in June of 2023, Brandy will officially join our breeding program.

He’s such a great puppy; so smart and laid back. He’s such a lovely little boy. Laurie is so great with these puppies preparing them for their new homes. We were on the waiting list for a long time but it was absolutely worth the wait. This little guy is already adjusted to his new surroundings.

Cider

Cider( black collar) is settling in well. He has already pottied 3 times outside with no accidents and loves the snow. Thank you so much for this little bundle of joy.

Bella

Laurie’s crate training is great. Bella( formerly Fuschia collar) took to it right away and finds it a safe place. Did cry a bit and settled on her own. Found her awake in the dark without crying. 1 nighttime potty break so I guess I should be thankful. She adjusted very well and is a playful happy pup. Outdoor potty training is going well and she has seemed to have learned to respond to her name with commands of come and sit.

Owen is 10 weeks old today. He gained 1.6 pounds in the last week. He is such a sweet little guy and learns quickly. He loves Molly and she has been so tolerant of him. I love when they curl up together.  He sleeps with Molly and us every night. Owen understands when it gets dark, play time is over. He stays on the bed the whole night but once he’s up, he’s up! He has so much energy now he runs around like crazy.
