Two (2) Weeks Old! (3-26-20)

OK. So technically, they were two weeks old yesterday, but I got busy, and...

Penny delivered 9 healthy puppies on the 11th. There are 6 girls and 3 boys. As of today, we have reservations for 4 of the girls. That means we have 2 girls and 3 boys available.

The puppies will be 8 weeks old, and ready to go to their new homes, approximately May 2nd. I like to have the puppies go home on weekends, since that is the best time for the whole family to play and interact - (even if the "family" is one person and their friends). Since that will only be 7 1/2 weeks, I will monitor the puppies maturity and decide whether they would be better off waiting a week longer. I'll consult with our Vet, and make the best decision possible. I will update here when it's official.

PUPPY SPECS: For those of you just stumbling upon this site, I encourage you to look around at other posts below, and on the pages for the Mommy Dogs and our Daddy Dogs. The mom of this litter is Penny, who lives in our home and is sure she is in charge! She is a 25 pound Moyen/Klein poodle bred from pure AKC lines in California. The Dad, Billy, is a CKC registered F1 mini-goldendoodle whom we use for Penny's litters. This is their 3rd litter together.

The puppies will grow to about 25-30 pounds and will be F1b mini-goldendoodles (see our "Sizing and Generations" page) which means they will be, roughly, 3 parts poodle and 1 part golden retriever. These puppies will love to run and play - and they will also love to curl up on your lap while you watch TV. They are the epitome of "not too small, and not too big" - just right.

I feel like I'm rambling on, so it must be time for pictures!

The puppies are color coded:
BOYS: Black, Orange, Yellow
GIRLS: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Red, Gray
