Tomorrow's Pups update
March 10
Bred and confirmed pregnant:
Maple and Brixx have been confirmed pregnant. Her tummy is growing and Brixx is so proud!
Maple and Brixx will be having their first litter of standard F1 goldendoodles together due April 8th. Their pups will be able to go home in the beginning of June. I expect beautiful apricots and adult sizes ranging from 45-65 lbs.
Contact us if you're interested in this litter.
Bred but not confirmed pregnant:
Sugar and Rumba are presently "in a relationship" and we hope to see chocolate, café and cream pups from them... with maybe a parti (multi-coloured) if we're lucky.
Sugar is 1/2 golden, 1/2 lab and Rumba is a miniature poodle, so these pups are unofficially called: medium/miniature "North American Retriever Doodles"... just a big mouth full for "cute"! :-)
They're not yet confirmed pregnant, but are due May 11th if all goes well. They'll likely range in size from 20-40 lbs and will be ready to go to their new homes in the beginning of July.
We're still waiting for Beth to come into season. She may have missed this cycle all together, or it may just be around the corner... I wish I knew.
The pups are growing and time is flying by!

Stylus with a bit of attitude
These photos are of Yankee/Dayo's and Becca/Brixx's pups at 5 weeks old and Peanut's/Brixx's pups at 4 weeks old. Their teeth are in and they're using them to crunch up dry kibble already! They're such fun to play with and to watch how they're starting to interact and play with each other.
It's fun to see them figure out toys and see who is the bravest to explore first; and who are the quiet and reserved, waiting for tomorrow to be brave. Their personalities are just budding and we try to work with each one to bring out the best in each of them. This does take a lot of time and energy and I'm so glad for the kids and friends who help out.
Awhhh... playing with puppies... it's a tough job, but someone has to do it! :-)
I still have 15 out of the 35 pups available, so yes, I'm still taking deposits. Choosing starts the first weekend in March. Yankee and Becca's litter are 8 weeks old March 18/19th and can go to their new homes then. Peanut's are a week younger and have to stay here until March 25th.

Yankee's and Dayo's pups at 5 weeks
February 26
Yankee's and Dayo's pups are all a light apricot or cream in colour. In general Dayo's pups lighten up with time, but many keep the apricot highlights in their ears and back. There are a couple of smaller pups in this litter. They may stay smaller or they may take their time to grow up when they don't have the competition of all their siblings. Because this is such a big litter I believe both options will likely be factors.
The size range that I predict this litter to be is from 40-75 lbs. These pups will be 8 weeks old on March 18th and will be ready for their new homes then.
Please contact me if you're interested in one of these classic-looking goldendoodles.

Becca's and Brixx' pups at 5 weeks
February 26
Becca's and Brixx pups are a darker apricot and in general I believe they'll likely remain a darker apricot. They may fade after they're 2 years old since Becca is a golden colour and Brixx was red until he turned 2. Then he became a solid apricot colour.
My guess for weight ranges for this litter is 45-65 lbs. These pups will be 8 weeks on March 19th and they'll be ready to go to their new homes then.

Peanut's and Brixx' pups by the dozen -- at 4 weeks old
February 26
The pups are all dark apricot and some red. They'll likely stay the darkest out of all the other litters, but some may fade as they age. My guess weight ranges for this litter are between 45-75 lbs.
These pups will be 8 weeks old on March 25th and will be right and ready to be in their very own homes.

Yankee's pups at 19 days old
February 9
I wish I could capture more moments of these wonderful little pups as they're growing. Yankee's and Becca's litter have their eyes wide open and are starting to walk on all fours. I thought I would share a few photos of the litters for your viewing pleasure.

Peanut's Olympic Team
January 31
Peanut had 12 beautiful red and dark apricot pups on January 28th. So far the pups are all thriving and Peanut is a very attentive mama. Brixx is a mighty proud papa too! These pups will range in size from 50-80 lbs at my guess. Their colours will either stay red or some will fade to a darker apricot.
We decided that Peanut's and Brixx's 12 pups would be named after the Winter Olympics. The boys are Bobsled, Hockey, Speed Skate, Nordic, Torch and Ski Jump. The girls are Curling, Slalom, Biathlon, Flame, Olympia, and Freestyle.
They will be 8 weeks old on March 25th and will be ready to go to their new homes at that time. I'm now taking more deposits for Standard Goldendoodles. Approximatley 1/2 of my present litters are spoken for.
Becca's and Brixx's 10 pups were born on January 22nd, 2010
January 24
Becca laboured all day Thursday and waited until the wee hours of Friday to have her darling litter of 10. With the abundance of pups that were too hard for Yankee to manage on her own, Becca complied without hesitation to accept 2 more to add to her litter.
These pups were born on my daughter, Sara's, 11th birthday so she got to choose the theme. She chose a "Birthday Party" Theme. The 5 girls are named Candle, Friend, Gift, Celebrate and Birthday. The boys are Streamer, Cake, Balloon, Wrapping Paper and Pointy Hat :-)
Becca's pups will likely range from 45-65 lbs in weight, (although this is our first litter from Brixx; we'll learn as we go). They have a deep, almost red coat now, but they'll likely have solid dark, to medium apricot colours as they get older. Brixx was a deep red until he was 2 years old and now he is a stunning solid apricot.
Both of these litters from Yankee and Becca will be 8 weeks old on March 18th and 19th respectively. My family will be competing at the Lifesaving Swimming Competition Provincials in Edmonton that Saturday and Sunday (March 20th and 21st) but we'll do our best to work around everyone's schedules for picking up their pups.
Folks who have their deposits in will be asked to choose which pup they want when the pups are approximately 6-7 weeks old. I'll be making appointments in the order of when the deposits were received (see the choosing process on the FAQ page).
Because of the blessed abundance of pups we have many openings for more applications for Standard Goldendoodles. Contact me if you're interested.
For all of those who are wondering, Peanut is due January 31st. She looks like she has a belly full too!
