Puppy Update (1/15/24)

The last puppy from Terra's litter went home juuust before this current "Arctic Blast". On the same day, we tested Gemma to confirm her pregnancy and to see how many puppies she was expecting. Unfortunately, that number is zero. It turns out that Gemma is NOT pregnant. Wow, that was not a happy day.

Our upcoming plans are as follows:

1. Breed "Biscuit" for her (probably) final time. (F1B Mini-Goldendoodles) Breeding in February or March.
2. Breed "Gemma" (at least try to). (Medium Bernedoodles) Breeding in May or June.
3. Breed "Bella" (A new mom-to-be) (F1B Mini-Goldendoodles) Breeding in May or June. 

For timing purposes, please remember that from the Breeding Date, there is approximately 9 weeks before puppies are born, and then the puppies stay with us for about 8 weeks before they are ready for their new homes. I would love to speed up that process, but I won't do anything that would hurt the Moms or puppies - and Nature makes the rules!

If that timetable doesn't work for you (first of all, I'm sorry!), please feel free to reach out to me and maybe I can help you find a puppy from a different breeder in the state. There are a few I would heartily recommend, so let me know!

Thanks!

Are The Puppies Here? YES! (11/27/23)

If you have been waiting for a puppy, now is the time to play with some adorable little balls of fur. Currently we have two F1 medium sized Bernedoodle puppies available. (Details Here). Our next expected litter will also be F1 Bernedoodles, and then, hopefully, some small/mini Goldendoodles in late Winter or early Spring.

Have You Ever Wondered..... (10/24/23)

If you have seen pictures of cute dogs on our site, or somewhere else on the web, have you ever wondered what those puppies look like now?

Well, for our litter of Bernedoodles from this time last year (2022), we have some updates on our site: www.SherwoodFarms.dog so feel free to check them out.

I posted the pictures because our wonderful Terra" is soon to have a litter of the same F1 Bernedoodle puppies with the same daddy dog as last year. If you would like more information, just let me know!

Thanks!

"When Are The Puppies Coming?" (10/17/23)

First of all: This fall I will be consolidating web sites and info  to make it all EVEN MORE user-friendly! Stay tuned for all of our puppy-updates and dog-stuff in one place! YAY!

***********************************************************

I feel it was only a week or so ago that I wrote my last update, but apparently my short attention span has tripped me up again...

Here's the current "Puppy Update":

We were hoping to have our mini-goldendoodle mom, Biscuit, pregnant and about to deliver puppies any day now, BUT..., that didn't happen.

Our next potential litter will be with "Bella" who will be a new mom for us. 

Checking for updates on the dog Social Media

Bella is a 20 pound mini-goldendoodle (F1) and she lives in a Guardian Home for us. Her human-mom has 3 kids (also human), and they live in a wonderful neighborhood full of children who dote on Bella to no end.

Before we EVER breed a specific dog, whether it is her first time or her fourth time (our maximum number of litters per mom), we always ask our Reproductive Veterinarian to confirm the dog is healthy and we make sure the Vet agrees that the dog is healthy and would not be harmed by the breeding. We would NEVER breed a dog if our Vet said it would be unhealthy for the mom or future puppies. 

According to our calendar, Bella is due for a heat cycle in the next month or two. If everything is a thumbs-up, we would breed her and have a litter of F1B mini-goldendoodles. 

My crystal ball is out of warranty and is in the shop for repairs, so I can't promise anything at this point, but if all of the "hopefuls" become "yes", then we would probably have puppies born in early 2024.

More updates and pictures when possible!

Also - check out our Bernedoodle puppy updates on our SherwoodFarms.dog site.

Some Good News, And Some "Less Good" News... (9/14/23)

Charles Dickens famously wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." While nothing in my life compares to the French Revolution, I have to admit I'm a bit "sad/happy" right now. 

On the good side, we recently bred our Bernese Mountain Dog, Terra, and we expect to have Bernedoodle puppies born around Halloween! We will know more in the next few weeks as we confirm her pregnancy. She was mated with the same Daddy Dog we used last year, Caesar. 

Here are a couple of pictures of Terra doing her favorite things - Playing with Grandma, and napping, and being a lap dog.

Here are a couple of pictures from her 2022 litter. Again, we will know more in the next few weeks.

"Lucy"

On the "less good" side, our beloved Biscuit is NOT pregnant. We planned to breed her in early August and we have discovered it did not work and she will not be having puppies at this time. Unfortunately, Nature can't be predicted or relied upon.... We will try again in the Spring, during her next heat cycle.

Stay Tuned!

Quick Puppy Update (8/16)

This is really an update to say nothing. (sorry)

We do not currently have any puppies "in the pipeline". We expect to have at least one Mom dog come into heat in the next month or so, but we have no "buns in the oven" - so to speak. 

Once we have a Mom in heat, the normal time before puppies are born, is about 10 weeks (2 1/2 months). After puppies are born, they need to grow and mature for about 8 weeks before they are ready for their new homes. 

That means we won't have any puppies ready for final adoption until December, or (more likely) January 2024.

In answer to the most commonly asked "next question", No, I don't know who or what the puppies will be. We have at least a mini-Goldendoodle and a Bernese Mountain dog due to come into heat soon. I'll announce what we are breeding as soon as we accomplish that task.

Stay tuned!

Thanks!!!

Good News! All Puppies Have Been Adopted! (6/26)

Thank you for your interest in our puppies. I will post an update here when there is a firm schedule for our next litter. (Tentative: Fall 2023)

Thank you!

And Then There Were Three... (6/14)

First of all: Happy Flag Day! (6/14)

 

Mr Red was adopted yesterday. He was very happy to snuggle into the arms of his new family.

We still have Mr.(s) Green, Blue, and Black looking to meet you!

Come on over and play with them before they go to their new homes too!

Running With Puppies! (6/7)

(Disclosure: I walk; they run.)

I look forward to our daily morning "run" around our back yard. Yes, we get out and run around all day long, but the first run of the day is my favorite. The puppies haven't seen me since the night before, and they get so excited to see me, and it is a great way to start the day. Oh, and the temperature is a little cooler, and I have fresh coffee. Coffee ad playful puppies - they just go great together!

BACKGROUND UPDATE: Our four puppies are on the verge of being 10 weeks old. They were born on 3/30/23. They have been Vet Checked, wormed, they have all of their current vaccines, and they are wonderfully fluffy and loving. They are F1 Goldendoodles (Mom = 100% Golden Retriever, and Dad = 100% AKC miniature Poodle). We expect them to grow to about 45-55 pounds. They are non-shedding - we call it "low-to-no shedding" - and will generally NOT cause allergic reactions. We do not have any girls left from this litter, but these 4 boys are adorable!!

The four boys are named by their collar color: Mr. Red, Mr. Black, Mr. Green, and Mr. Blue. 

*** I am very eager to find homes for these boys right away, so please contact me if you have questions - or if you just want to come out and play with them. ***

Below is a video I just took this morning. (See the first paragraph above.)

In the first part of the video, Mr. Black finds a stick and is chased by Mr. Red. Mr. Blue is off into my wife's garden, and Mr. Green is wondering what that smell is.

These puppies have been discounted to help them find homes quickly! I am offering them for just $650.

Sunday Playfulness with Friends (5/29)

We had some friends over, yesterday, to play with the puppies. We love having friends and family come over for some "puppy time." It is fun to see how much people enjoy playing with puppies - and, it is great socialization for the puppies!

UPDATE: We have 4 boys who are in search of their forever homes. They are 8 weeks old and all Vet checked and healthy and ready to go (yes, they are all vaccinated and de-wormed). They are F! Goldendoodles and should grow to about 45-50 pounds. They ABSOLUTELY adore playing with people and they would love to meet you!

The day was hot and sunny, so the puppies ducked under the trampoline, to play in the shade and long grass.

We would be happy to answer questions, or schedule a visit to come play with them. Just let us know: Info@CuteGoldedoodles.com    Thanks!

One of these days I'll spend some time getting better on video editing, but that day is not today. (Sorry)

Friends, puppies, sunshine, and slo-mo. Enjoy!

Memorial Weekend - Military Sale (5/25)

We have 4 puppies - all boys! - available to go home with you as of today. 

As a special benefit to our military veterans out there, I am offering a discount for this Memorial Weekend for all US military veterans - whether serving in combat or peacetime. 

I know Memorial Day is about those who made the ultimate sacrifice, but for each hero that didn't come home, someone back home lost a loved one. I certainly can't overcome that, but I can add some real-life puppy-love. 

Click on over to our home page for more contact info, or start by emailing me at info@CuteGoldendoodles.com - I'll be happy to go over the details!

Our family appreciates all of your service, so this is our small way of giving back.

Four Boys Remaining! (5/22)

We have just 4 boys remaining. One of the boys and the single girl have been adopted. The adopting family had a VERY hard time deciding on which boy to adopt. They wanted them all! 

These puppies turn 8 weeks old this coming Thursday, so there is still plenty of time to fall in love with them and take them with you for Memorial weekend - or let me keep yours until after your "no pets" vacation is complete!

I've also lowered the price to just $900 - which is an incredible bargain for puppies that are this cute!

I'll post new pictures here today.

More Videos! More Fun! (5/10)

To paraphrase - or maybe "butcher" is a better word -  a song from the 70's: "Sunny days and puppies never get me down!"

So, here I go, sharing the fun!

 

 

And Here Is The Video (5/5)

I'm certainly not a professional videographer, or social media influencer. I just raise puppies. 

Here's a video of the puppies in pairs, and then all together. (You'll figure it out)

Puppies Are Getting Bigger! (5/4)

Since today is "May the Fourth", I considered naming all of the puppies after characters in the Star Wars movies, but that would be too much work for me - and probably a copyright violation...

Mom, "Hunny", is a 70 pound AKC Golden Retriever, and Dad, "Toby" is an 18 pound AKC poodle.

HUNNY - She is the "goodest" of girls!

TOBY - He is so playful and kind

The 6 puppies - 5 boys and 1 girl - were born on March 30, which means they will be old enough to go to their new homes on Memorial Weekend. You can pick your puppy up before, or after, the long weekend. It's your choice.

This is the first litter for Hunny, although we have used Toby many times as a dad. We estimate the puppies will grow to about 40-45 pounds. That makes these puppies MEDIUM in size. They will be big enough to run and play, and still small enough to crawl into your lap.

I'll get some videos up shortly!
