Another puppy has joined her excited new family today!!! 🤩

Little Sweet Pea - the teeny tiny pup I fretted over and bottle fed for the first two weeks of her life - is now called Coco, and has moved to Gore! 😁

Here she is a few days ago with her Dad (Rupert, middle) and Nana (Daisy, left). 🥹🥹🥹

Thank you for all the interest in Bluebell! 😍

Bluebell has now found a WONDERFUL home! 🤩 I’m sorry to everybody who missed out. 😞 She sure was popular!! I am intending to have another litter from Bonnie and Rupert next year, so keep your eye on this page, or get in touch with me if you’re very serious and don’t want to miss out next time! There is info about how to join our waitlist on the website. 🥰

Big day today for the wee pups!!! They’ve been for a visit to my work (another practice riding in the car, being in a new place, meeting a lot of new people).

And today two of our puppies are heading off to the big wide world!! Bluebell and Violet (in pic below) are the first to leave….both staying in Dunedin, and BOTH going to families whose children don’t yet know they are about to get a puppy!!!!! 😍😍 Oh my gosh, I am SO excited about this!!! 😍🥰🥰 So their new names are TBC - there will be some big family discussions happening tonight!! 😄

Go well, little ones!! 🥹🥹 I am sure we will see you again! Xx

Bit of a photo dump of recent activities! (I’m not 100% sure who is who in some of these! 😬 Had to guess! 🫣)

🌹 SEVEN WEEKS 🌹

The puppies have had their professional photo shoot, and I’m excited to show you a wee sneak peek! 🥰

Big news is that Sweet Pea has found her forever home! 😍 (Ladies, the lesson in this is if you tag your husband enough times, eventually you CAN wear him down. 😉🤣🤣)

Thank you as always to Kimberley Cheyne Photography! 🩷

I’ve had a lot of messages in the last 24 hours! 😆

I’m going to put all puppies on hold for now, and will let you know if there are any still available in the next few days.

I’m intending to breed Bonnie and Rupert again next year, so there will be another litter like this coming, if you’ve missed out on this one or it’s not quite the right time! 😁

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🚨

Three puppies have found wonderful families! 🥰 Sweet Pea and Bluebell are the only ones still looking for their forever homes! (More photos of them coming soon!!)

On Monday, I will be putting any that are still available on TradeMe. I keep a close eye on TradeMe at all times, and can tell you that most of the spoodle puppies on there are selling for quite a bit more than I am selling mine for - up to $1500 more in some cases. 😳 And, the majority of these people haven’t DNA tested their dogs, and I’m sure they’re not doing half of what I’m doing behind the scenes in terms of socialisation and preparation to be confident little dogs out in the world.

SO….when I put them on TradeMe, I will be matching the market. Don’t panic if you have already been in contact with me and are still thinking! You will get a puppy for the price you expect! And anybody else who has been thinking about it should get in touch NOW. You don’t have to commit to a puppy yet, you just need to start the conversation so I know your expectation is what my current price is on my website. I will be updating the website and deleting this post when/if the puppies go on TradeMe.

Here’s Rupert and Sweet Pea to start your day. 🥰

🌻 SIX WEEKS 🌻

The puppies are HARD to take photos of now. Forgive these blurry offerings. 😆 I’m going to have to stick to videos and sleeping photos from now on!

All is well, and three lucky puppies have found their new homes! So just two left…I’ll post more about these two shortly (one family is still choosing their puppy so I’m not sure exactly who remains yet!).

In the weekend we were GIVEN this huge piece of lino from the amazing Tracee who owns Dunedin Carpet Store and Mosgiel Flooring, and to say I am ECSTATIC is an understatement!!! 🥹🥹🥹😍😍 (The old playpen floor is due for retirement!) So I told her I’d give her a shout out on here. Go and see Tracee for all your flooring needs! 😁🩷

Update: flight to New Plymouth no longer needed! 😆 Thanks anyway!

I’ll leave this here anyway for the pic of the puppies eating their breakfast this morning. ☺️

We’re pretty chilled about the fireworks!! 😜

Seriously though, I was STOKED when I realised the babies would experience fireworks at this age!! Dogs have a critical period of the first 16 weeks where it’s SUPER important to expose them to as many things as you possibly can. Experiences they have during this time can have a lasting impact, including fear responses. I work hard while they’re with me to set them up super well for things they are going to encounter (and have to be ok with) for the rest of their lives, but some things are out of my control, so having Guy Fawkes coincide with this time is PERFECT. And we are getting treated to a LOT of bangs tonight! 🧨

I hope all the rest of the doggos out there are doing ok! 🥺

Goodness, I have woken up to discover that my video has FINALLY posted - multiple times! 😂 Ah well, here it is! 😅 (Mum Bonnie and Dad Rupert in the background too.)

🌺 FIVE WEEKS 🌺
(I’m a bit slow posting this one!! 🙈)

LOTS of new experiences this week! The puppies have had two baths and also had their wee nails clipped for the first time. They’ve been outside on the grass in the sun, their daytime pen has been upgraded to a flash new playroom to give them more room for activities, and they’ve started running, and playing with each other and with toys. They’ve also started having visitors, and two of them have met their new families over the weekend! 🤩 They’re growing their sharp little puppy teeth and doing really well with their soggy puppy kibble. (Bonnie is still feeding them as well, but that is definitely slowing down. I don’t think it’ll be too long until they’re fully weaned.) All going very, very well, really! 🥰
