Puppies
We are gonna miss these two…. Soaking up every second 🥰
Outside!
Pups first time outside! They had a fun time running around and even splashed in the water a little bit! They had absolutely no fear with this new exposure and no one managed to fall in the pool 😂

Real Names! ✅
Clarice (Reece) 💚 and Rudolph (Barkley) ❤️ officially have names! We have been and will continue to call them by their real names. This is not something we normally can do but with two pups it is possible! This should be super helpful with training for their new families. Barkley is named after a Philadelphia Eagles player bc his family is a huge fan! Reece is named after her original name Clarice. The pups were born on 11/22, my mom’s birthday, so we let her pick their names. Reece’s new family wanted to keep with my mom’s choice of name but wanted to put their own spin on it. Isn’t that the sweetest!? 🥰
Clarice is much more active and playful at the moment than her brother. Little man likes to play but loves his sleep the most. This is by no means an indicator of their future personalities at just 4 weeks old. Clarice was the first to discover the tunnel as seen in the video ☺️
Clarice
Pups are changing SO much!! Every day they are doing something new. They were introduced to wet food this week and LOVE it. They are starting to spend more time awake playing with each other. In the video is Clarice 💚 playing with a towel. They have learned to grip with their teeth and shake with their head. It’s adorable 🥰
Puppy Dreams
Put your volume up 📣 What do you think puppies dream about? Clarice 💚 is a very funny sleeper….we are constantly catching her on her back. They also bark in their sleep, which is seriously adorable. The pups grew out of their collars. Clarice is now wearing her momma’s pink collar from when she was a baby in photos/videos so you can see who is who 🥰
Hurricane
The pups are ready for the hurricane! They are enjoying a potty break in between the rain bands. This is our second direct hit in 2 years from a major hurricane. This is Rosie’s first hurricane and the other pups are pros 🙄. We are grateful we don’t have puppies this time around! Please stay safe everyone!
Upcoming Litter
🚨Upcoming Litter Announcement! 🚨
The Life is Ruff crew is excited to announce our long awaited 2024 litter! Our beautiful light goldens, Brady and Abby, have been successfully bred!
Both Abby and Brady are sweet, gorgeous pups. They are fully health tested with completely clear DNA, OFA good hips, normal eyes, normal elbows and normal advanced cardiac. They are both PennHip tested with results significantly better than the breed average! They are titled in CGC, CGCA and CHIC certified. They come from long lines of European champions and health tested generations.
Brady is a happy go lucky guy with the highly desirable large, blocky head. He just absolutely LOVES everyone. He prefers your lap and cuddles. He is an avid swimmer and enjoys boat/golf cart rides. Abby is a sweet gentle, soul. She is the calmest of all our pups. She also loves to swim, cuddle up with the humans and loves to say hi to everyone she meets. The temperaments between the two are outstanding. One of Brady’s previous pups is a service dog in an elementary school 🥰
The puppies are expected around November 22, 2024 with an anticipated go home date of January 17-19, 2024. The dates may slightly change depending on exactly when puppies are born. If you are interested in a pup, please reach out. You will be asked to fill out our questionnaire located on our website. We will begin taking deposits once Abby is confirmed pregnant and we can get an idea on how many pups are expected in about 4 weeks.
