Introducing Noah

BIRTH:
Noah was born on October 10, 2008 in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. He arrived in New York City on December 6, 2008. He was 8.5 weeks old and weighed 5.8lbs. His father was a 14lb apricot miniature poodle and his mother was a 17lb apricot golden retriever-miniature poodle mix. Noah is considered a "F1B miniature goldendoodle" and he is 25% golden retriever, 75% miniature poodle. His rich red color is from his red miniature poodle grandfather.

MONTH 2:
Noah flies to New York City on Delta. He arrived at La Guardia Airport at 3:30PM. There was an "airport snafu" and Delta shipped the wrong littermate to me. The real Noah went to San Francisco and was never to be seen (by me) again. I was expecting a quiet retriever-looking pup and instead ended up with my Noah, a red curly little spitfire!
