Penny's Puppies - 4 Weeks Old (UPDATED 7/25)

***UPDATE: PENNY'S puppies are now 5 weeks old and people who have submitted deposits have started makeing reservations. I have marked them in the pictures below.***

Penny's wonderful puppies had their "Here I Am" day today. This is a day to get outside and walk around in the grass, enjoy the sunshine, and have awesome pictures taken. As expected, the puppies did great!

Penny gave birth to 6 puppies on June 17th. That means they are now 4 weeks old and ready to run and play. Over the next week or so we will start weaning them from Penny. The puppies will start that process with ground-up soupy food, and we will gradually go from there. They are maturing right on target.

These puppies are F1B mini-goldendoodles, and will average about 20-25 pounds when they are full grown.

Today, however, is all about pictures. The heat and humidity were tolerable today, and the slight breeze made the mosquitos less overwhelming.

We have three deposits received for this litter so far. Of the 5 girls and 1 boy, there are now 2 girls and 1 boy available for reservation. We are offering them at $2,500, including a $250 deposit which holds your puppy. 

I'm still finalizing the date, but in the next few weeks we will have a "Selection Day" and everyone who has reserved a puppy can come out and play with them and choose which one will be their very own. The puppies will be ready to go to their final homes approximately August 14th. At that point they will be fully vaccinated, de-wormed and had a full Vet check.

OK. On to the pictures!

Disclaimer: All of these pictures were supervised, personally, by Mom, Penny. She is the best Momma! Even though she is getting tired of nursing them all - which is natural - she is so very protective of each and every one.

Penny ROCKS!

Miss Red (collar): RESERVED She has beautiful white paws and chest a curly coat.

A little bit of shyness in those eyes

Miss Yellow: She also has white paws and chest, but she also has a dollop of white on top of her head.

This picture shows just how tiny these puppies are

Miss Green: This cutie is a little darker in color and has a little less white on her paws

Miss Orange: RESERVED Almost no white, but plenty of cuteness!

 Miss Blue:  She has a beautiful coat and a great temperament.

Mr. Black: RESERVED As the only boy in the litter, he stands out by himself. He also has great coloring and wonderful personality.

Guardian Home Needed (7/13)

I just posted an overview of our Guardian Home system on our sister site: SherwoodFarms.dog 

If you are wondering what that is all about, or if you just want to learn something new, click on over and read the short article. 

We are acquiring an 8 week old Bernese Mountain Dog, and we need a home for her to live in! Like I said, if you want to know more, check it out!

Penny's Puppies - 2 Weeks Old (7/6)

Penny's adorable puppies turned two weeks old over the weekend. I managed to get a few pictures while Penny nervously stood by. She is an incredible Mom, and she gets anxious when anyone touches her puppies - even me! That means I will have better pictures soon!

I will continue contacting people this week, and then allow the remaining puppies to be adopted once those on our list have had an opportunity to weigh in.

This litter has 5 girls and 1 boy and will be ready to go to their new homes about August 14th.

Miss Orange (Girl): 

Miss Green (Girl):

That's Penny's nose in the top right corner

Mr. Boy: (He's easy to identify, but I really need to put a collar on him!)

Miss Red (Girl):

She has an adorable white-tipped tail

Miss Blue (Girl):

Miss Yellow (Girl): You can see her eyes are about to open. They are completely closed for the first 2-3 weeks after their birth. The cutie has a light colored coat and plenty of white patches, including her head, chest, and feet.
