Why I Bought A Wheaten And Am Now Proud Of My Puppy Whoodles

Since I was a child, I’ve loved all animals but had a particular interest in dogs. I’ve owned several different breeds in my lifetime; a doberman named Spike, he was wonderful in most ways, but he would shed a lot and was sometimes rough with the kids. I’ve owned two Schnauzers; both great in every way, non shedding, great with the kids, great with other creatures, but unfortunately both had developed health problems which were costly and unavoidable.

Then one day I adopted a Soft Coated Wheaten I named Cooper. I’ve had Cooper for now for 7 years and he’s only ever been to the vet for his annual shots; never for any type of illness ever.

He is friendly, loveable, very good with other creatures; he helped foster kittens and he treated them so gently that it was such a beautiful sight to see. He is wonderful with children as well. Like all Wheaten Terriers, he is a non-shedding canine and although I’ve had friends with allergies visit my home, not one of them have ever expressed a problem.

Then there’s the outdoors. I have always owned dogs that loved swimming although no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get Spike to enjoy the water. My other dogs loved the water, and had no problems with driving in the car with the family. We are a family that takes our dogs everywhere, so its important they enjoy the ride.

When our Schnauzer Jessie passed 8 years ago there was only Cooper with us until almost about a year ago that we adopted Jersey, our red Standard Poodle. She is adorable, friendly, loves children and other creatures and especially Cooper.

Breeding Cooper and Jersey

We didn’t expect it to happen on a first heat, but as it turned out, Cooper and Jersey did end up breeding. We had no idea of the exact time they bred, but we knew it was sometime in early March so we predicted the birth would be around the 11th of May or thereabouts.

As it turned out, the first baby was born very unexpectedly while we were watching the news. Jersey did her usual jaunt to the balcony, it was drizzling and we thought nothing of it until we noticed she was by the door and kind of leaned over.

My husband was concerned and so he went over to her when I heard a holler “there’s a baby!” When Jersey seemed OK, I picked up the baby girl we call Rain with her placenta still attached and took her into the whelping box we built and placed beside our bed. She finished giving birth at 8:59pm.

Although Cooper didn’t quite know what was going on, he stayed away for a while. After the first week, Jersey allowed Cooper onto our bed so he could get a look at his babies, he seemed happy.

We’re serious about our baby Whoodles

We have taken this event very seriously and we want to make sure your getting the best of the best in every way; a well adjusted, highly socialized puppy. They will have learned to pee on a pad, we have given them various tasks to enrich their lives. We understand the length of this relationship we all have with our dogs and want to give you a great start and an easier one at that.

We’ve launched a website you can visit if you live in Ontario and want to find out more about Whoodles and when we’ll be opening up adoptions, for this littler and for any future litters. You can also view the puppy whoodle gallery here and join us for updates on the puppies’ progress.
