With her babies impending, Tuppence will be looking for a nice safe space to give birth. Dogs are naturally den animals, so we do our best to emulate this instinct with the whelping box. She’ll need lots of bedding to dig at, and to feel her babies will be warm, safe and contained. Some girls prefer a blanket over the top of the box to further reinforce that den instinct, making it darker and more contained, and helping them feel safe and secure. The countdown is on ❤️🐾

I’m both excited and saddened to announce the impending arrival of Tuppence’s litter in early August, confirmed via ultrasound by our repro vet! Affectionately nicknamed the Tuppy Puppies already, this will be Tuppences first, but my last EVER litter of golden retrievers. This has been my passion for so long now, but it’s time to re-focus on my young human family now. 🩷 Thank you all for all of your support over the years.

Many of you have visited my home and asked me how I manage the fur from having so many goldies in my house. I’m always very quick to credit my trusty Dyson vacuum!! Unfortunately my vacuum head broke the other week, and I immediately panicked 😂 but Dyson came through for me and sent me out a whole new vacuum as the head for my now 4 year old model is on backorder!

I am SO EXCITED to vacuum today! I love Kmart as much as the next person but their vacuums really don’t hold a candle to the Dyson range when it comes to pet hair!! (But got us through Goldie Glitter-nado 2024) 😂

Finally getting some sunshine, we can start getting stuck into my toilet training protocol!!

⁉️ Did you know? I start training my puppies to go to the toilet on the grass as early as possible, which means they go home to you almost completely housebroken. Simply follow my go-home advice, and your puppy may not ever have an accident! How good is that 🤗

Miss Yellow 💛 and her happy waggily tail! Pant legs are not safe anymore 🤣

When half of the babies want to feed, but the other half want to yank and pull on mum and their siblings 🤣

Cold, wet weather here for the better part of the next week means we haven’t been able to set up the puppy yard as we usually do yet! Undercover and inside play for now 💔

The sun is shining so we’re outside exploring today!! 🌞🌞

These 5 were sleeping all lined up in a row… so I tried to line the rest up (who were sleeping elsewhere) safe to say it was unsuccessful and just resulted in waking everyone up 😂

My last day with the puppers! You’ll spread your wings and fly tomorrow my little loves ❤️ give the grass in their yard some time to recover after the holes they’ve been collaborating on digging the last week 🤣

It’s impossible to see their collars anymore… who thinks they can spot their puppy?! 🤔

Getting puppy packs and info folders prepared for Gotcha Day!! I’m chronically disorganised and a paperwork procrastinator so this usually gets done the night before 🙈, I am proud of myself 🤣

Question for past families (or anyone who wants to weigh in) what do you wish you knew bringing home your puppy? Any information you wished was in your folder to quickly refer to?

Nearly 3 weeks old! Mumma is starting to wean us now so we have introduced puppy mush! Which is Blackhawk puppy biscuits soaked in boiling water, then blended up to a liquid consistency which is easy for them to lap. Over the next couple of weeks I will slowly firm this food up until they’re confidently eating dry biscuits!

Sweet babies 🩷 1 week old now, and everyone’s very close to double their birth weight! Swapped their newborn collars for bigger ones, which means it’s much easier to see who’s who (for now… until the floof grows in and swallows them 🤣). Also wobbly walking happening too!! Willow loves sharing her babies with her trusted humans, so the kids enjoy getting involved with handling the pups too.
