We can't always predict accurately when a litter is due. Dogs' cycles are not always like clock work, so these dates are assuming that they will continue to cycle 6 months from their last cycle.
Gestation is normally 9 weeks and we keep the pups here 8 weeks before we release them to their new homes. That makes a little over 4 months from conception to going home. We take 5 deposits only per litter before they're born since litters can vary so much in size.
The best news!
May 8
Lorelie is pregnant!!! I am so excited! These will be our first little F1B goldendoodles!
The pups will likely average 15-25 lbs when full grown, but we'll see. The personalities of both Rusty and Lorelie are gentle and fun loving... and I just can hardly wait to see these babies!!!
I will now take deposits for this litter.
A few updates -- some good news and some bad news
April 30
Chloe is not expecting, I'm so sorry to say. I was really hoping for this litter. She is such an amazing girl.
Maple is expecting and Dayo is the Man! She is due May 26th. I will now be taking deposits for this litter.
I bred Lorelie with Rusty and will get her pregnancy checked May 9th. If she's expecting, she is due June 6th.
Photos coming of Bella and Lacy, 2 standard goldendoodles that have passed all their health tests. They should be having F1B goldendoodle pups this fall.
Peanut and Jag are NOT expecting, but Maple and Chloe may be
April 2
Bad/sad news... Peanut is not expecting. The relaxin test was negative. Peanut seems her regular happy self, but I'm very disappointed as her pups would have been amazing with Jag. But as goldens go, they're just happy no matter what. Hmmm... dogs are so smart!
Well, I guess we'll try again next time.
Maple had a cycle, and I had her together with Dayo, but something makes me think she had a false season. I will not take any deposits on this litter now until I confirm a pregnancy. If successful, these pups will be small standard goldendoodles and would be due the end of May.
Chloe too had a season, and I bred her with Rusty, the new guy. I will not take any further deposits for mini goldendoodles until her pregnancy is confirmed. She too would be due the end of May.
Some planned litters for the fall, if all goes well:
I may also have a couple more standard and mini F1B goldendoodle litters if 2 new goldendoodles pass their remaining health exams.
