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:

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!
