Extra Update (11/16)

Check out our sister site: SherwoodFarms.dog for news and info about our upcoming F1 Bernedoodle puppies!!! It's official: Terra is having 7 puppies on Thanksgiving.

"Wait. How many puppies am I having?"

Pictures! Finally, Pictures! (11/16)

After quite a few delays (sorry!), I now have pictures to show of these puppies. 

REMINDER: They are 5 weeks old, and will be ready for their new homes and families on December 10th. (If it needs to be a Christmas/Holiday surprise, let me know and we can work out special timing.) The puppies were born on October 12th, are F1B "Medium" Goldendoodles, and should grow to about 45 pounds. They are soft, cuddly, adorable and fun!

I will mark pictures I'm posting by the color of their collar. There are 3 girls and 6 boys.

First, a whole bunch of group shots:

(L to R) Miss Orange, Mr. Black, and Mr. Green - and someone's tail

Mr. Black (center), Mr. Green sitting and posing, and a couple other puppies doing what puppies do

Mr. Yellow trying to escape (left), Miss Orange mugging the camera, Mr. Black hugging Mr. Green, and Mr. Brown dancing to his own music.

Just a nice shot of Miss Orange and her coloring and coat, while Miss Drk Blue ("Bourbon") is keeping an eye on me from the back

Mr. Brown running for a hug, and Miss Orange trying to explain this is "her photo shoot!"

Mr. Black trying to figure out what that purple thing is, Mr. Red sitting up in the back and keeping an eye on the orange ball, and Mr. Purple prancing in front of the camera

(L to R) Miss Orange (standing), Mr. Black, Mr. Yellow (sniffing the ball) and Miss Drk Blue

Another good shot of coat colors and types while Miss Drk Blue hams it up for the camera

Then, 2 seconds later: "Wait. What's that over there?"

Mr. Red keeping an eye on everything

Mr. Black preparing to pounce

Mr. Green: happy to be the center of attention

"Run! Run puppies"

"On 3, everyone wag your tails!"

And now, for the individual pictures. I had to hold them all because they were being quite squirmy. These are truly in random order.

Mr. Brown: (AVAILABLE): "Mr. Cuddles: He is truly a snuggler. He loves to crawl into my lap so I can hold him. He's a kind, gentle, and happy guy.

Miss Orange (AVAILABLE): She is the last girl available and it just about came down to a flip of a coin. When the families selected Miss Dark Blue and Miss Light Blue, Miss Orange was making it tough to decide. She is a cutie and has great color (white toes!) Whoever adopts her will be very pleased to hear she is still available.

Mr. Red (RESERVED): This little guy is my favorite. He has been the smallest of the litter and my wife helped him get all of his nourishment by bottle feeding him twice a day for 3 weeks - just to add more calories to him. He has the darkest coat of the litter and his hair is currently the straightest. He is adorable and precious. His siblings never picked on him, and he was always right there eqating as much as he could. I can't tell you about his new family, because it's a surprise (shhhh!), but I think he will be a little spoiled!!

Mr Green (AVAILABLE): Not only is he adorable, but he is an adventurous self starter.He likes to do things his own way, and in his own time. (That's why only one picture with him turned out!) Sometimes he will be the leader and explorer, and other times he will just stoically sit and watch the others. He loves to be held - especially for belly rubs - but he doesn't need micromanaging.

Miss Dark Blue (RESERVED): "Bourbon" is a stunningly pretty girl with a great personality and temperament. Her patches of white and the curliness of her coat made her stand out and earned her the first selection position. She is going to a wonderful family and will be HIGHLY loved!

  

Mr. Purple: (AVAILABLE): This beauty is quiet and soft-spoken, but loves to run and be held. He also likes to lick the dried puppy food off his nose!

 

Mr. Black: (AVAILABLE): This curly guy is just a big teddy bear! He just flopped into my arms with his curls and calm attitude. He's so fluffy! He also wanted me to take a picture of his white "socks" on his back feet. He thinks they're pretty special!

He also has dried food on his nose...

Miss Light Blue (RESERVED): "Kona" This "cutie-patutie" is the queen of snuggles! She loves people - especially those who give her belly rubs! She has been adopted/reserved by a wonderful young couple who are sooooo eager and excited!

Mr. Yellow: (AVAILABLE): This charmer is pretty proud of him being last to post, because he heard me say, "the besty for lasty", and it's going to his head! He is very quick to play and loves to show off his pretty white chest.

Quick Picture Update

For those of you who have been [patiently] waiting for new pictures, I apologize for the delay. We had a "technical glitch" in our weekend photo shoot - which is just a fancy way of saying the pictures didn't turn out good enough to bother posting. 

I'll be taking more today, and should get them uploaded tonight.

(Here are some of the "better ones" from the weekend.)

Happy Birthday Puppies! (11/8)

Today is a very important day in the life of these F1B Goldendoodles. They are now 4 weeks old!! Why is that important, you ask? (You did ask, didn't you?) Well, so much has happened in the last week or so, and they are now, truly puppies!

"Wait! Were they something else before now? Haven't they always been puppies?"

Yes...and... No...

When puppies are born, they are really just blobs of cuteness. There's nothing wrong with blobs of cute fur, but it's like having kids of your own. When they first start walking, well, THAT'S when the fun really starts!

Moments after birth...

Yesterday... See what I mean?

Within the last 7-10 days, the puppies have started walking on their legs and, more importantly, their eyes have opened! It seems like so much has happened in so little time.

To be fair, I'm not sure anyone is more "excited" about this growth than mom, Lady.

Lady is proudly showing off her puppies

 

Lady is wondering why she had 9 puppies!

 

Lady is one of our excellent Moms, and these puppies are greatly loved and nurtured by her. This is her final litter, and she is looking forward to "retirement" and simply barking at mailmen and squirrels, and getting belly rubs!

To catch everyone up: Lady delivered 9 healthy puppies on October 12th. There were 6 boys and 3 girls. Of those puppies, three have been reserved. We will have the reservation selection day this Saturday (November 13). At least 2 of the girls have been reserved. As soon as all three families have selected their puppies, the remaining puppies will be available on a first come basis.

The puppies are F1B "Medium" Goldendoodles. If you want more info on what that means, CLICK HERE They will be ready to go to their final homes on December 11. At that point they will have been checked by an independent Veterinarian, Be fully up to date on vaccines and de-wormings, and they will also be micro-chipped. 

Get in touch with me and ask any questions you may have. I am happy to answer any and all questions - well, maybe not about politics... 

Here are some pictures!

The three girls are: Dark Blue (collar), Light Blue, and Orange

The boys are: Red, Purple, Black, Brown, Yellow, Green

Miss Dark Blue is always ready to pose for a picture!

This one is a little blurry, but you can get the idea of the coloring

 Oh, and we need a video too!!
