Current Puppy Pictures! (9-16-24)

It's been a while - sorry - but here are current pictures of the three available puppies. Let me know if you have questions about their personalities, or sizes, or whether they like long walks after dinner (they do!).

New Puppy Pictures! (8/6/24)

Judging from the following pictures, I need to "up my game" in the photography department. If you're looking for a puppy breeder that has nothing but adorably posed and framed pictures, that's not us, but if you are looking for a great, well raised, people-friendly puppy, I know that is us.

Anyway, the puppies are about to start their weaning from mom, Biscuit. It takes about a week for the puppies to be fully on their own with food, to make sure Biscuit is OK with the lack of nursing, etc. So far, all systems are go.

I will be advertising the puppies to the general public in the next day or so. If you feel you have been on our interest list, and I didn't contact you, I am sorry. There were a bunch of people on our list - some for 2 years - and I try to give everyone plenty of time to get back to me. Reach out to me soon!

So, if you want to come out and play with the puppies, let me know! Even if you only want to play with the puppies, I'll do my best to schedule you in. Puppies love people, and the more the merrier.

Without further ado, here are the puppies. They are just over 4 weeks old, and they will be ready to go to their new homes by the end of August.

I was cleaning out their little play pool, and trying to get the dirt Biscuit drags in...


 Here they are, showing their collar color and their Patriotic names - since they were born on July 5th.

Mr. Orange "Tom" (Jefferson)


Mr. Red "Sam" (Adams)


Mr. Purple "George" (Washington)



Miss Green "Abby" (Adams)

Mr. Light Blue "John" (Adams)


Miss Blue "Betsy" (Ross)

Here They Are! (7/25/24)

Finally! Here is photographic evidence of their continuing cuteness. The puppies turn 3 weeks old today and they are all standing on their own legs and they can finally see out of their eyes. Everything is normal and good - and cute.

Since Biscuit is only happy if I hold the puppies, versus setting them on a chair or table for poses, I did the only thing I could think of - I sat down on the floor in their puppy room and held the puppies on my lap as I snapped away with pictures. (Some turned out better than others...)

I'll include their collar color (randomly assigned) as well as their "patriotic name", since they were born overnight on July 4th/5th.

Mr. RED: Sam Adams  (my favorite patriotic brewer)



Miss Blue: Betsy Ross



Mr. Orange:
Tommy Jefferson

You can see Biscuit making sure he is OK.

Miss Yellow: Dolly Madison (she's not given enough credit for her cupcakes)



Mr. Light Blue: John Adams




Miss Green:
Abigail "Abby" Adams



Mr. Purple:
George Washington (wiggly and camera shy...)

Puppy Update (7/16/24)

As expected, the puppies are getting bigger. For the first 1-2 weeks, we always measure the puppies weights at least once daily. Biscuit is a great momma-dog and she has been making sure every one of her puppies is getting the food they need. 

Also, for at least the first week, the puppies have a heating pad in their bedroom. Even though we monitor the room temperature carefully, new-born puppies need to be warm and cozy - even if momma needs to take a break. You'll see one of our heating pads in some of the pictures below. (yes, we clean it regularly, and make sure they don't nibble on it, etc.)

REMINDER: We have 7 puppies (4 boys and 3 girls) who are F1B mini-goldendoodles. Based upon past litters with the same mom and dad, these puppies will grow to about 20 pounds, and will tend to have somewhat curly hair. They shouldn't shed any more than a normal human would, and most people feel they are less likely to cause allergy issues.

The puppies will be ready for their new homes just before Labor Day and they will be fully up to date on their vaccines and such, as well as micro-chipped.

Here are some pictures of the puppies with their "Patriotic Stage Names".

  • Girls:
  • "Betsy Ross": Dark Blue collar
  • "Abigail Adams": Green collar
  • "Dolly Madison": Yellow collar
  • Boys:
  • "Samuel/Sam Adams" - brewer, patriot, and puppy!: Red collar
  • "Thomas Jefferson": Orange collar
  • "John Adams": Light Blue collar
  • "George Washington": Purple collar

 

 Dolly enters her food-coma stage and decided to sleep..... right... here.

Meanwhile, John Adams likes to sleep on his back - at least for the moment.

Betsy Ross stretches her puppy legs mid-nap

Mostly, they all sleep in piles - on top of, or next to, their siblings.

Patriotic Puppy Piles! (7/7/24)

Here they are! Biscuit delivered her puppies in the early morning hours of July 5th. I think one or two of them were actually born on the 4th, but my eyes were blurry and it's easier to say the 5th.

Biscuit delivered 7 healthy puppies - 4 boys and 3 girls. All of the puppies are growing and they and mom are all strong and healthy.At this age (3 days), they all look remarkably alike, and that is normal. In the next few days and weeks, we'll start to see more differences emerge. It's a fun age.

In the spirit of the Fourth of July and US Independence Day, we have tentatively named the puppies after famous people from "back in the day."

First the Girls:

"Betsy" (Ross): Dark Blue collar

"Abigail" (Adams): Green collar

"Dolly" (Madison): Yellow collar

Boys:

"Samuel/Sam" (Adams) - brewer and patriot!: Red collar

"Thomas" (Jefferson): Orange collar

"John" (Adams): Light Blue collar

"George" (Washington): Purple collar

Anyway, here are the pictures you've been looking for. ENJOY!
