Our last pup went to his forever home today! Weâre going to miss you Duke but we know you will have so much fun with your new family! This litter was an absolute joy đĽ°
A few more puppy pick ups â¤ď¸đž
Our puppies started their trip to their forever homes this week and itâs already too quiet around here!
As our puppies are getting ready to go home, here is a great list of tips on how to safely socialize them without risking them catching parvo before theyâre full vaccinated:

Alabama went to visit the nursing home last week and spread a lot of joy, while safely staying off the ground in public spaces â¤ď¸
We canât let the day go by without wishing Pru a happy Motherâs Day, who has been the most amazing mama to these 9 pups!
Itâs vet day for the puppies! đž
Oakland is officially our last and only pup available from this litter! Ready to go home May 18th â¤ď¸ let me know if youâd like more info on him! More details can also be found on our GoodDog site đž

Texas has the stereotypical go with the flow, laid back lab vibe. He is the bigger of the boys, and is so gentle and calm. He has a slightly darker coat and no white at all to be seen. Itâs also so long and soft already!
Oakland has the CUTEST round eyes and little white stripe on his chest. He is going to have a more wavy fluffy coat than the curly poodle coat. Heâs so spunky and fun.
Houston is also a total heartbreaker. Heâs always working to keep up with his bros.
This guy đ Dignified Duke. Heâs just SO handsome I canât even handle it.
Charleston is the charmer! He steals hearts left and right with his adorable little face.
Madison at 4 weeks old đ Sheâs definitely got the bluest eyes of all the chocolates in this litter. They definitely wonât stay this blue but will probably be light colored hazel/ light brown.
Virginia. *reserved* 4 weeks old đ Sheâs so excited to meet her family this weekend.
Alabama, also known as âlittle bitty Bamaâ and âAliâ around heređ 4 weeks old. Sheâs getting bigger each day but is still the smallest of the litter by far. Sheâs such a sweet girl!
Last but certainly not least is Texas. Green collar, 2nd largest of the litter. Chocolate and curly boy.
Houston is up next. Lime green collar, chocolate curly boy.
Charleston with the red collar. Boy, chocolate, curly.
Virginia was also way more interested in getting her beauty sleep than a photo session. Sheâs our only golden gal! *reserved*
Alabama was sooo not having it with me today. By the time I got to her she was all tuckered out and had no interest in sitting up for her photos. Sheâs the dark pink collar girl with a curly chocolate coat.
Madison was posing like a pro today. Sheâs the purple collar girl with very curly hair and the biggest of the bunch.
Oakland looks SO much like Creighton. Heâs got the orange collar, and a straighter black coat that will get wavy and long as he grows.
Duke is the spitting image of his daddy. Heâs got the navy collar, and super curly black coat.
Creighton came ready for his shoot. He is the light blue collar male, with the black coat that looks straight now but should grow wavy and long as he grows up.
I finally got some updated pics today, itâs hard for me to believe the pups are 3 weeks old now! Theyâre walking around and learning and changing so much every day! They were excited to go outside but after about 20 minutes were already exhausted and ready for a nap đ´
Iâve got the cutest little bundle named Duke hanging out with me while I work this morning, but we should have just named him Seamus Jr since heâs a clone of his daddy đ I love seeing their little eyes blink back at us now. They can also hear things, so itâs fun to see them pop up when they hear us come in the room now! They had their tiny nails clipped for the first time this week and did great. We make sure to gently touch their toe pads, ears, tails and mouth every day to get them accustomed to lifelong handling at the groomers, vet, and just daily life with kids. Next week we will start to really see their personalities emerge! We have reservation spots still available for this litter, so let me know if youâre interested!
Safety first! Charleston and Ginny are here wishing everyone a happy solar eclipse day! Theyâre excited that their eyes are open just in time for their first eclipse! đđ
Iâm so delayed in sharing this, but without further ado, here are the puppy names! Since they were born on Shepâs birthday we let him choose the theme, and no surprise- our sports loving kid loved the March Madness idea đ The basketballs are color coded to match their collar colors. And another surprise, I originally thought our golden pup was a boy but he is actually most definitely a girl pup! Blame lack of sleep, dim lighting and a long umbilical cord đ¤Łđ¤Śââď¸

Meet Virginia! She is our only golden out of the bunch, and I think her light hair reminds Etta of her favorite Frozen princess, because Virginiaâs her absolute favorite and gets held and cuddled by her every chance she gets. She is going to be a looker! #labradoodlepuppies #labradoodlesofinstagram #virginiapuppies #puppies #puppyreels #puppiesinva #standardlabradoodles #puppyculture #hillcrestlabradoodles #mansbestfriend

This sweet girl is the last girl in the litter waiting for her new family! Come meet her and youâre guaranteed to fall in love đ #labradoodles #labradoodlepuppy #labradoodlesofinstagram
We are FIRM believers in crate training. Dogs love the feeling of a den. It helps keep them safe when theyâre still going through their teething/puppy phases, and chances are in their life they will need to be crated- overnight at the vet, traveling, boarding, etc. Crates are a peaceful place for them to retreat and feel relaxed. We start practice with all of our puppies before they go home, so they have positive associations with being without their littermates in a crate. This isnât to say itâs a magic wand- expect night time crying as they adjust to being in their new homes. But it certainly helps that theyâve had exposure! #labradoodlesofinstagram #labradoodle #labradoodlepuppies
We have 2 boys and 2 girls still available, ready to leave the nest in just a couple weeks! #labradoodles #labradoodlepuppies
We had a crazy week and were out of town for a lot of it so havenât gotten to weekly photos yet, but the puppies have all opened their eyes AND are walking around on 4 legs instead of âscoochingâ themselves around the whelping box. They are SO cute and weâre soaking up all the snuggles.
Newborn puppies twitch during whatâs called âactivated sleepâ. Itâs not only adorable to watch, it tells us theyâre growing and developing just as they should! Also, If you watch with the sound on youâll hear some squeals of our kids in the background 𤣠Our puppies ears wonât open up for another few days but they get so accustomed to the noise pollution of daily life- kids, vacuum, etc. that we know helps them to be more well adjusted dogs in the future!
Pupdate: the babies are 6 weeks old and heading to the vet for their first shots tomorrow! They had a nice run outside in the wet grass, and then inside the house, and are now in their play pen in the living room getting sleepy. Even though theyâre too big now to stay in the house full time (they sleep in the indoor garage kennel), they come in every day for exposure and play time. Our house has lots of noises: babies, vacuums, music, toys, etc and this helps them be prepared for the noise of their new homes too! Theyâre completely weaned (Rubyâs choice), though still try to chase mama around if they have a chance. I canât believe how big theyâre getting!
Prudence LOVES puppies. After we brought them out to the living room yesterday for families to meet them, Pru took it upon herself to start laying with them and letting them ânurseâ. Ruby looked confused at first, but now seems happy to let her step in. Itâs a team effort around here đ¤Ł
