Lovedale Labradoodles

09/07/2020

So happy to see our Lovedale Jaxon (Lovedale Lillian x Lighthouse Musket) finally arrive across the Qld border to Belloui Labradoodles and their guardian family! What a wonderful life he is going to have as a future Belloui stud muffin!!! Clearly settling in and not missing us at all!! 🤣🤣🤣

08/07/2020

Three of Lillian’s puppies have remained with us for training but Jaxon has left to join Belloui Labradoodles in Qld and his guardian owners as one of their future stud males. It was another sad goodbye as he headed off for a road trip over the border. Safe travels you handsome dude ♥️🐾♥️

And another one of our gorgeous babies leaves us with another beautiful family! Miss Matilda you will be much loved by everyone you meet.

The first two of our pups joined their forever families today ♥️ one leaves tomorrow and another on Wednesday to Belloui Labradoodles. Three remain for training making it even harder to part with them when the time arrives!!😂 wonderful families and we feel so blessed 🥰🐾

It wasn’t quite the honeymoon she had hoped for! 🤣🤣🤣

♥️Good morning everyone!!♥️

Just pure puppy spam!! A normal day in the enriched life of a Lovedale Labradoodle ♥️ Our pups take everything in their stride as they are introduced to it all during their critical socialisation period 🥰♥️🐾p.s. we got nothing done today!!🤦‍♀️😆

25/06/2020

Our pups have so much enrichment inside and out. Lots of playtime in their puppy garden but today was so bitterly cold we only had four outdoor play sessions, a ride in the car, then we all hung out indoors watching tv, chomping on a raw chicken drumstick and playing! ♥️🐾♥️

18/06/2020

Today was temperament testing day!! All pups passed with flying colours to be fabulous companion pets and possibly therapy pups!! Even though we tested slightly early it gives us a good base. Testing should be done at 49 days but we’ve done it a week early due to allocations. It can’t possibly be done in under 3 weeks though as the pups can’t see or hear!! Six weeks is the earliest!! So proud ♥️🐾♥️

17/06/2020

So... just a word of warning!! We have a very busy few days here at the farm with pooches coming for a holiday. Entry will be refused if anyone is wearing the clothing displayed below, or you will be asked to remove it! We are not unreasonable, completely understandable as to why you’d like to smuggle them out!!!😳🤣🤣🤣

15/06/2020

Well this may look like an untidy garden area, but it is in fact a garden full of enrichment for our puppies! A new item is introduced every day as part of our puppy development program to produce happy, healthy, brave and confident pups! Different textures, surfaces, visions, sounds and smells! Nothing fazes them when introduced so early ♥️♥️♥️

13/06/2020

Bath day yesterday 🥰♥️ Five weeks old and so calm during their warm bath, towel dry and a warm gentle blow dry in our bathroom 🤗

10/06/2020

Puppy Culture raised puppies.. healthy, brave, confident ♥️♥️♥️
Lovedale Labradoodles Puppy Development Program ... enjoy!!!

06/06/2020

I hope you’re all enjoying the long weekend as much as we are! Love watching these pups grow, 4 weeks old today!! 🥰♥️🐾♥️

02/06/2020

First little munch of solids 🥰 Somerford Raw and Natural puppy ‘duck and bone’ variety mixed with fresh goats milk. Such beautiful little time wasters ♥️🐾🥰

The beautiful Lovedale Florence Bubblegum had her first 'big girls groom' today with Emma - how amazing does she look?!

Puppers enjoying a little vitamin D in the last of the Autumn sunshine! Have a happy and healthy weekend everyone! 😘🐾🥰

28/05/2020

Apparently you’ve all been waiting??!!! So here we have it... traditional Australian names for our nearly three week old Australian Labradoodles!!💛💛💛
(All pups have homes)

26/05/2020

This is a perfect example of a pup that has had ENS (early neurological stimulation) Raffa is not even 11 weeks old but because he’s been exposed to bathing and drying from 3 weeks, this is how good he is on the grooming table! He quite clearly isn’t fazed or distressed. So happy with our pups ♥️♥️♥️🐾

23/05/2020

♥️ ♥️ Snug as a bug in a rug ♥️ ♥️
Hope you’ve all kept as warm as these little cherubs on this wild and wooly day!! Two weeks old today 💓

21/05/2020

And on the 12th day we asked for a box of roses .... but nothing prepared us for this! ♥️♥️♥️

16/05/2020

Just in case you’ve had enough of our puppy spam... said no one ever!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 We thought we’d share a couple of photos of our up and coming superstars (provided they pass all health testing) Ralph Lauren and Florence Bubblegum ♥️ Thank you Jeanette and Claire for being such wonderful guardian families and keeping us updated on these little 5 month old cherubs😘♥️🐾

14/05/2020

Winter is coming and warmth is vital to newborn puppies. But everyone needs a statement fashion piece, and these beanies knitted by Cass are absolutely fabulous!! 🤣&♥️!!!

***Hump Day Happiness with a little bit of puppy spam**🥰♥️🐾
Lillian is with a wonderful guardian family who absolutely adore her. I think they’re quite smitten with her pups too!! Our guardians really do become a part of our families ♥️

10/05/2020

💞Supposed to be simply cleaning Lillian’s whelping box...just got a little distracted!! 🥰🐾

09/05/2020

And then there was this!!!! 5am puppy number 1 arrived and at 7.36am Lillian blessed us with puppy number 7 ♥️🐾 We listened to her labour begin whilst laying beside her on the sofa which is next to her whelping box🥰♥️🐾
ALL SOLD!!!
