For Chris's birthday, my Dad picked her up another puppy to add to their growing packo-o'-dogs. He is a Youkiedoodle - half yorkie and half miniature poodle and should end up being 6 or 7 pounds. Here is Chris with little Lonestar:
Below, Dad with Cowboy, Lonestar in the middle, and Biscotti on the right. Cowboy and Biscotti are both Labridoddles. I'm not sure why Fred, the 150 pound Great Pyrenees (and, original Daddy-doggie), was not included here. 
In response to the news that there has been an addition to the Oakes family down-south, my brother Matt, from D.C., wrote: "Q: What does your dad do for a living?
A: My dad is a puppy rancher in Texas - mostly focusing on doodles. Doodle ranchers are related to the historic Texas cowboy, but they drive convertibles and grow flowers instead of breaking broncos and getting into pistol fights."
