Little heartbreaker 😍
Puppies are getting much more active and outgoing now they are 3 weeks old.

And just like that we are almost 3 weeks old and moving from little newborns to active little characters :)
Health testing
Hip and elbow scoring.
Keri like her mum Alfie has had her hips checked with a hip xray before breeding.
In Keri's case we submitted her images to the Ankc so she is officially scored with a cert to prove it. (Included in puppy packs)
Her elbows are perfect 0/0 on both sides and she's got an excellent score of 2/2 for her hips. Thats a score of 4 out of 106.
The average score for a labrador is 9.3
The average score for a standard poodle is 8.17 so she's better then the average of either of her parent breeds.
Keeping her slim and fit without excessive concussive repetitive exercise as a youngster also helped to reduce her risk factors.
Her patellas were also checked at the same time and passed as perfect but patella luxation is an uncommon issue in larger dogs.
Checking hip and elbow scoring for a larger dog like Keri helps us know that she is structurally sound and able to handle a pregnancy.
It means she is less likely to pass on structural issues that can lead to Hip dysplasia or elbow dysplasia in her puppies.
Her x-ray is below. Information removed to prevent replication.
Keri is loving her babies.
Keri is very proud of her new little ones. #labradoodlepuppy #labradoodlelove #puppylove #puppylife #doodlepuppy #chocolatepuppy #Mealalabradoodles #foreverhomesneeded #australia #rightpawverified
