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

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

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

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.
