Well three weeks have gone by since we first heard the news that our Mini Goldendoodle Bentley was born. Well now three weeks later we just got word from the breeders that they have posted some new pictures of the little guy and so I thought what would be better then putting up some pictures of our little guy who is only 4+ weeks away from coming home with Jenn and I…
The breeder was nice enough to take a bunch of shots and boy does Bentley look awesome!!

So before Jenn and I got married we had talked about some of our goals for the first year of marriage. Where we saw ourselves, what we would be doing, and all sorts of other things. I remember both us talking and saying that we wanted a puppy. So we have been searching long and hard for a dog that would be the perfect option for the two of us, and we ended up landing on a Goldendoodle. First off to read up on what Goldendoodles are which quite simply are a mix between a Poodle and a Golden Retriever. Our puppy specifically is a F1B which bred between a Goldendoodle and a Mini Poodle. What got us thinking Goldendoodles? Actually my good friend Chris came down a few months back and was telling us how he had family who owned a Labradoodle (Lab + Poodle) and how great of a dog it was. So Jenn and I started surfing and read up on Labradoodles. Of course any time you do a search you will stumble upon other dogs and that is when Jenn came across the Goldendoodle which was the perfect match for Jenn and I. Jenn grew up with Golden Retrievers and my allergies aren’t hip with dogs that shed so this was a perfect match for us.
So in late November (11/29/09 to be exact) we put in a deposit for a male Mini Goldendoodle at a local Goldendoodle Kennel here in Southern California that was renowned for these types of dogs. They showed us pictures of the parents which are shown below (Ella & Logan) and we were instantly sold on it.

Well we finally heard the great news today that Ella had her puppies and she ended up having 1 male and 3 females, and being the first on the male deposit list we got our puppy! He was born on 2/3/10, which is funny because a lot of great things have happened on the 3rd of the month for both Jenn and I. We started dating on a third, we got engaged on a third, and Jenn’s favorite number is 3, so we took that as even better sign for our little guy. Which brings me to his name, we have decided to call our Mini-Goldendoodle, Bentley. I wish I had a cool story of how we came up with the name, but I think we just came up with it over dinner a while back. We get to pick up our puppy in 8 weeks or in other words 4/3/10. Jenn and I are extremely excited for the day to come and will of course be updating the World of Joel with new pictures as they come and videos once we get him! Without further ado here are pictures of Bentley at 1 day old.
