14 Puppies at Home!!!



We have 14 puppies at home now that we have picked up Bella's litter from her guardian in Sisters, Oregon.   Scarlett's six puppies are thriving up in my bedroom as we take care of them.  You can see from the pictures that they have opened their eyes and ears.  They wake me up at night with their barking and yelling.  It is so funny!  They love to snuggle with each other, with momma, and with us.  We sit in their pen at different times and they come up to us to smell us and see if we can feed them.  This week we will begin feeding Scarlett's puppies a mix of ground kibble and goat's milk.  After that we will be moving them to kibble and water.  They really need to have the nutrients that the kibble provides.
We also have begun treating the puppies with preventative medications for worms.  At three, five, and seven weeks we treat the puppies to prevent any worms that they may come into contact with.  We weighed the two litters, trimmed their claws, and gave them medicine.  They were all troopers!  You can see the range of colors in the puppies from these pictures.  Scarlett's litter is darker.  They are all dark apricot to red in color.  Bella's litter has more of a range and has one that is a very light apricot and goes all the way to dark red.  Bella's litter is a little older and you can begin to see the wavy fleece coats that they will have.
All of these puppies have great conformation and the boxy noses and faces that we are breeding toward.  At this point it is too early to know how their little bodies are developing, but they all look like outstanding examples of the Australian Labradoodle breed!
We are taking deposits on these puppies and have a few left, but if you want to get one of these puppies it is important to contact us quickly at:
Steve@evergreenmanorlabradoodles.com.

We will soon be taking the puppies on car rides, introducing them to new places and people.  One of our favorites is to take them to Home Depot and let them get to know the workers there who love to hold them!  It is so good for them to be in new places, have new sites and sounds, and to meet new people.  Stay tuned for more updates!

Scarlett's puppies are here!!

Scarlett and Bentley have produced a wonderful litter of six puppies!  These beauties were born on January 2, 2013 and have brought joy to our lives in these past three days.  We have three boys and three girls.  They are all apricot to red in color and will have a beautiful fleece coat.  They will be medium size when mature (about 35 pounds and 20 inches at the shoulder).  
Right now these puppies are just getting familiar with their world.  They are smelling their way to momma, finding her to suckle, and crying when they are cold or hungry.  Mom is doing a great job taking care of them and we love watching Scarlett care for her puppies.  
The babies will be ready to go home in March and we are still taking applications for them.  We have two of the six already spoken for, but still have four available.  To apply for this litter go to our on line application on our web page (www.evergreenmanorlabradoodles.com) and send us a completed application.  Once we have reviewed your application we will talk with you to cover any questions we have and then you can send in your deposit to hold your place on the puppy list.
