I hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring!
A couple updates for our crew. Maggie Mae is retiring; she will stay with us but no more Goldendoodle puppies! We have also decided that Bernadette's next litter (early 2025) will be AKC Bernese Mountain Dogs. We've had several people in our area wanting purebreds, so we are in talks with a couple great stud owners!
Berserker is having the time of his life as the only pup in the house.
Giorgio (Lodi) went to his forever home today! I'll miss my little buddy!
No litters planned for the remainder or 2024
2025 planned litters
AKC Bernese Mountain Dogs
F1 Sheepadoodles
F1B Bernedoodles, pending final health screenings.
F1BB Newfiepoos, pending final health screenings.
Miss Coco went to her forever home today! The boys got to ride along and socialize with some kiddos. Versace and Giorgio are still available. They did well with their bath and blowouts before their road trip as well. Giorgio was so adorable, he comforted his sister while she was getting her blow out and then cuddled Versace in the car. He is a very caring boy!
Lunch break fun!
Kids got to try out ew toys today, Zerkie was super excited! Valentino just wanted me to sit so he could have my lap.
Big boy Dior went to his forever home 🥰
Puppies have been enjoying muddy fun the last couple days. Bath time can wait til Monday!
My little Manola went to her forever family today. I'll miss her sweet face! Loki heads home this afternoon, so Berserker gets his own kennel until he goes to his family in a couple weeks.
Giorgio 🥰
Our big boy Thor went to his forever home today!
The pups have been enjoying the awesome weather we have been having. I'm a little behind on updating photos and such. I had the flu a couple weeks ago and it settled in my lungs so it has been a daunting task just to keep up with the pups. It's that time of yhe week that they all need cleaning up and I'll make sure to get more pictures while we play inside. We had two pups leave for their forever homes, Odin and Astro (now Gus). Thor will be heading home Monday and Manola on Friday. Berserker has his forever family but will be staying with us for a couple more weeks while his family is on vacation!
Potty training and kennel training has been going strong, they've gotten up to 6.5 hours during the night without accidents. I'm positive the Bernedoodles can go longer but I have to take the sheepies out more often since they are much smaller. They also do great going potty at the far end of the pen, as to keep their play area clear.
Five Standard Sheepadoodles available! Their black will fade to gray, you can see the color starting to change around their eyes. Valentino has a lot of gray along his back already too. They will be 60-75 lbs fully grown.PM me for details, ready for their forever homes February 9th.
Products I recommend, some only apply if you will groom your own pooch! The big ones are ear and wound care. I cannot say enough how much we love the Petmd ear wipes. With floppy eared dogs, keeping ears clean is essential. Keeping wound care supplies on hand can keep you from making an unexpected vet visit. Definitely call your vet for advise if the wound is large, infected, or you cannot stop the bleeding. Any injury our dogs have get immediate treatment; wash, iodine, chlorhexidine, and watch so they aren't licking it. Chlorhexidine can then be applied every so often to help healing. Styptic powder is a good thing to have on hand to stop bleeding, if you ever accidentally cut a dog nail to short, the quick bleeds a lot. Styptic powder will have it stopped almost immediately!

Finally, temps that allow outdoor play and potty! Ripley is always happy to play with the babies.
Letting someone else raise your six kids is exhausting! 😆 First time I've been able to leave the pen with both litter playing together. All the bigs have learned how to be more gentle with the littles! With the temperature finally coming back up this weekend, the bigs will be moved to their new room with outdoor access and their kennel. The Littles will then take over the nursery before they start their outdoor potty training next week. All my adult girls are sleepy from playing in the snow, the young bopsy twins had to be forced in after 15 minutes frolicking through the backyard.
I got the funniest looks today after I switched their music from lullabies to classical. They were very skeptical of string music. The bigs ate dinner before I sat down in their pen for playtime. We've been practicing their skill set in a distraction filled environment. I've been down with the sickness for a couple days so I had to take it easy with group work! I'm loving their patience and remaining calm until they are called. All these skills are lost once I bring in yhe sheepies but it's huge for them to pull it off with their siblings around. I work with the Norse group until they are pooped, then bring the sheepies in to play. This helps them be more gentle because there is a huge size difference. The little sheepies have gotten more brave while amongst the giants. I was so proud of Manola, when Giorgio wondered too far for comfort, she answered his cry and brought him back to me. He eventually started to explore again, but didn't cry or whine for help again. Manola was never too far away and even climbed the slide with him.
These guys are finally starting to play together, although the Bernedoodles are claiming the slide!
Worst treats for your dogs:
Rawhide chews, which can cause choking, digestive problems, and contamination
Basted biscuits
Milk-bones
Beneful baked delights
Beggin' strips
Let's talk puppy necessities! I'll break this up into a couple of posts, so it's not so long.
Food, water and treats
We feed our pups Purina Pro Plan large breed puppy food, chicken and rice. I do send you home with a gallon to start out. If you decide to switch foods please do so gradually as to avoid stomach upset. Directions will be included with your puppy take home pack. Your vet is a great resource in choosing a food but dogs thrive on a higher grade food with less fillers and steer clear of grain free options. There is research linking grain free foods to DCM in large breed dogs. Store your food in a container made for food storage if you are dumping the bag into the container. Otherwise if you want to use a non food grade air tight container just keep your food in its original bag to keep its freshness. Kibble lasts for about six weeks if stored properly. When introducing treats to your pups, we advise only doing one brand at a time, so if something causes loose stool, you can cut it out easily. Maggie Mae has had issues with Milk Bone brand. Milkbone is usually on my vets top 12 treats to not feed your pups. I will be posting that list later. My favorite for young pups is the link attached at the bottom. Merrick is a great brand and has a variety of flavors that dogs love.
We purchase our food from petco because they usually have a special for online instore pick-up; saving 10-20%.

Lunch was good to the last drop. At this age we start teaching them to eat on their own but Laika still feeds them 3-4 times daily. They are eating gruel which is puppy food soaked in formula and water, then blended to make smaller pieces. They have been doing great using p*e pads so I will be moving the pads back a few inches to give more play space. The pads in their room will also be moved back at least a foot since they all actively go to their potty pads when loose. A couple of the pup have been a little whiney but that is because their momma stops helping them potty once they begin eating puppy food. Since they are doing so well, we will move the next free roam and meal into our viewing room where they have so much more space!
Lil sheepies had extra energy today! They got their first sampling of puppy good mixed with formula then took turns cuddling for 30 minutes. Eventually they all made their way around exploring my craft room.
This week the Norse pack have been learning to remain calm when we enter the room, or pass by. This will be a great skill for them to have before going to their forever homes because nobody wants a dog that jumps and acts nuts everything you come home or even just get up to do something. The beginning works to this is manding, which I've spoke of before. The pups must have five on the floor to greet humans, and four on the floor to be interacted with there after. You could imagine with our daily group activities I have six excited pups but only two hands so they have slowly been building patience. One great way to encourage them to remain calm is to give them a treat while they are laying down; don't say a word just drop it and walk away. Today I managed to get all six at the same time. Once I tossed the treats in front of their faces, I walked around the pen and back out. I knew they would take a bit to chew them so ten seconds pass before I go in and walk through again to tell them all good and give them another treat and walk out. This is Freya, Berserker, Astros, and Thor. The other two were on the other side of the pen but I didn't have time to catch the photo before I needed to leave.
So proud of how far the Bernedoodles have come, I was able to run errands and come home to no messes in their pen. Thankful because with this nasty weather coming, they won't be going outside much, if at all. The sheepies are progressing as well but we have a long couple weeks to get them where the Norse bunch are! I'm just enjoying their little puppy phase at this point, play for a few minutes before falling asleep again!
The pups are having a hard time settling with their new digs. Doesn't help the nightlight is way too bright! I'm hoping they've partied hard and will sleep good til 6.
The pups have put in the work for potty training so I've expanded their pen to include their play area. We will keep the two potty areas for now but it seems they prefer the one further away from their sleeping nook. We've been powering up the clicker, which is just giving them a treat every time I click so they know click means good job! Odin and Berserker have surpassed my expectations and went straight into taking verbal cues and making eye contact.
Berserker, Odin and Thor have their forever families lined up. The little sheepies are still in the phase of sleeping more than anything else. Laika has eased up her strong hold on the pups so we can play with them more. Their little tails just get wound up when I call them over. The sheepies early potty training is going well for three weeks old. We are working Boundary training and problem solving. We were late starting with this bunch because we had to wait until all of their ears were open.
Lil sheepies are starting to have more fun, they've become quite fond of the chicken toy and the blanket that smells like the other pups. The big pups have been taking turns coming over for a play date. The bigs have a split nursery/playroom for the moment, they approve of the slide coming inside! I also made the mistake of sitting in their sleeping pen; who could possibly walk away with 6 cuddle bugs around you. Once they get more used to the play area we will be able to have less potty pads out then allow them access to the whole room during the day. Kennel training will begin during the night.

The pups are having a hard time settling with their new digs. Doesn't help the nightlight is way too bright! I'm hoping they've partied hard and will sleep good til 6.
I've been sneaking the little sheepies in with the bigger pups for play time while the mothers aren't watching. We've also started bringing potential families over for visits. I will start announcing which ones have been chosen later in the week. Bernie's babies are way ahead of the curve and ready to love on people while Laika's started the weekend a little apprehensive. Tonight they made it a point to come play with me more, waging their tails and talking at me. They also allowed other people to hold them. Sheepies turned three weeks old so they will be getting their first bath and bernedoodles will be getting their third as they turn five weeks old tomorrow!
Decided it was time to introduce the pups to the outdoors. Ripley came along to help her little friends get comfortable. They absolutely loved it but were ready to go back inside after five minutes.
A little after dinner play time! Their ears are slowly opening so each day Their walking will improve. I love the toddle stage ❤️
Waiting for the kids to final potty before I give them a wipe down bath and give them their beds back. During this week it's important that I ensure they don't step in pee/poop and then carry the smell to their bedding. This way they understand the boundaries of where they potty vs where they sleep.
The pups are distracted by their momma outside the door. They are slowly learning that crying at the door gets them nowhere, so they just lay there waiting!
Puppy fun!
After dinner zoomies! Playtime lasts a whole 5 minutes before everyone settles back to sleep.
When I wake the pups for pre- dinner potty, I'm met with a little attitude! Berserker had something to say about me sliding the pen over for full pee pad coverage. While they naturally head to the pads to pee, sometimes they bump into one another and head in the wrong direction. Moving the pen takes the guess work out for this beginning stage.
Excuse the pee.... I wake the ups to potty before Bernie comes in to feed them. Such sweet little pups love to come looking for attention.
The Norse bunch picked up walking seemingly over night. Since they are toddling, their potty training begins a little early. I've since set up their pen to be more than half potty area. Ultimately the goal is for them to keep their bedding side clean and learn that paper and pads is where they "want" to potty. If this is pulled of well for the next two weeks, it makes further potty training so much easier.
Berserker has wild dreams!
Nyx digs the herding ball!
We’ve coupled kennel training with outdoor potty training and things are going well! They can handle 1-1.5 hours in the kennel during the day without accidents and nighttime up to 6 hours. By week six they should be sleeping the full eight hours and I have to train myself to not wake up multiple times during the night checking their nanny cam. Our daytime training/play is wild; one hour of sleep then one hour of awake. Once they are six weeks old they have a good grasp of not wanting to soil their kennel so we start extending the time between potty breaks. Weeks 4-6 can be challenging but also rewarding to see how they progress. Side note Vader is fine after taking that tumble off the step, I didn’t see it happen until I rewatched.
When the littles are supposed to be asleep but Vader and Chewbacca are locked in an epic battle of good vs evil! Meanwhile it looks like Han Solo fell asleep on the slide and slid down without waking!
Vader uses the slide as much as possible! She is going to have very long legs and a slim build! Such a loving girl, she often falls asleep next to my leg hoping to get another cuddle session before playtime is over.
More fun with the littles!
