Garlands Doodles

Paging Dr. Grey! The Grey’s Anatomy litter is ready to be discharged!

These sweet medium goldendoodles are from two of our most loved parents, Ninja and Indie. This was actually Ninjas last litter!

These pups have amazing temperaments and would be great for any family looking for a puppy around 30lbs.

Both Ninja and Indie have been fully health tested with all OFA clearances passing or normal. The puppies were raised on a curriculum that starts at 3 days with ENS. They have been desensitized to all sorts of things on the farm, as well as taking stroller rides through the community.

All the puppies are ready to join your family NOW! Contact us for more info!

Update on our rescue pups Modem, Hashtag, and Pixel!

These guys have been through the wringer. The longer we have them the more we get to see their personalities blossom. We have learned that Modem is the ringleader and Hashtag and Pixel are the followers. For this reason we believe they would do best separated in 3 different homes, so they can bond with their people and not be too focused on their siblings. Our vet estimates all of them to be about 8 months old.

Hashtags leg is completely healed (2 weeks earlier than originally planned!!) and he runs and jumps like nothing every happened. He is also a Merle, which we discovered once we shaved him down. He is a super outgoing boy and has really GROWN! He is the only one of the 3 who wouldn’t be able to fly, as he is too big for a plane.

Pixel is a tiny little cutie. She likes to snuggle and watch reality tv (her current favorite is Dance Moms!). She likes to make blanket nests and burrow in them. She stands great for grooming and licks your face in appreciation whenever you do something good for her. She is barely 10lbs now and we don’t think she will grow much more.

Mo is a crazy, silly boy. He loves to play and tease our other dogs. He is little but has lots of personality to match his silly underbite. His underbite hasn’t caused him any issues yet and our vet hasn’t seemed concerned about it but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on as he gets older. He’s more of a leader in personality. Mo is only about 12lbs and would be able to fly in a plane to his new home if needed.

These guys finally got to eat as much as they wanted so the first couple of weeks they would scarf their food because they were used to not knowing where meals would come from. They are back to eating normal amounts now haha!

They went through a 2 week quarantine (to prevent anything from spreading to our other dogs) and then we got to work on socialization.

Everything is a new experience to these puppies. Pillows. Blankets. A couch. A remote control. Hardwood floors. Kitchen noises. Baths. Grooming. All of these things have scared them, but they’ve overcome each tiny hurdle and face everything with tenacity.

They are headed towards the last step of their journey, spay/neuters, and then they will be ready to find their forever homes! This means that they’ll be ready by the end of the month!

If you’re interested in any of these three puppies, please let us know!

(Hashtag would not sit still for a photo but we can FaceTime if you’d like to meet him!!)

We have an opportunity for anyone in the Kansas City area!!

Corbin (formerly Bermuda from our Kokomo litter) is searching for a new family. His family is traveling a lot and hires sitters, but he much prefers to be around his people rather than strangers. This discomfort around all the sitters is what is leading to him being rehomed.

His perfect home would include at least one other dog. He does great with all the other pets in his home, cats included. He seems to prefer adults but is okay with children, and has been living with them for 8 months. Someone who works from home would be best, but isn’t necessarily required.

He is crate and house trained, does well on a leash. He’s a very well mannered boy with his family and they are sad to have to let him go, but he really prefers not having frequent sitters and his family feel bad about the amount of time he is left with them.

The family is going to keep Corbin until we find a good match so he doesn’t have to acclimate to a home in the meantime. We will put you in contact if we feel you would be a good match!

Please contact us for any further info!

Establishing boundaries with your kids and your new puppy or dog is SO important! Here are some easy rules you can establish right from the start to help everyone feel comfortable.

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

Rip (Açaí from our tropical fruit litter) moved to his new family in Arkansas!

Congrats Rip! You are going to be one spoiled boy!

We posted back in April that we would be looking to rehome Bridget after she has been spayed! Well the time has come! Bridget is available! She is a very sweet and calm girl and we hope to place her in a family with at least one other dog so she has a friend and an easier transition to her new family.

*Photos of Bridget are from this afternoon. We have photos of her with longer hair if you’re interested in what she looks like super fluffy!*

Here’s her original post from April:

After some less than stellar OFA results today, we have decided to retire our girl Bridget before she ever has her first litter.

This precious girl is a gentle giant and loves nothing more than to snuggle up with humans and other dogs.

She will be available to an approved home at a very reasonable amount.

Bridget is a 2 year old 50lb bernedoodle who is fully house broken, crate trained, walks amazing on a leash, knows basic commands, and is a very well behaved girl but is still young enough to have that puppy energy. She would do well with any pets and any age children. She will be spayed before leaving us.

Today’s spotlight is on Cheddar!!

Cheddar is an 18 month old goldendoodle still (somehow!!!) searching for his perfect family.

He is a great size at around 30lbs and loves everyone he meets. He likes water, other dogs, car rides, is house trained, crate trained, and does great on a leash.

He has done a trial run with a family and was settling in and greeting new people within 48 hours, but wasn’t a great fit because a family member was extremely sensitive with their allergies. Otherwise he would have stayed with them!

**Good time to note that doodles are NOT hypoallergenic! They may be better for people with allergies but they are NOT 100% allergen free. Cheddy is a great example of this, he has a higher percentage of poodle but people can still be sensitive to the dander depending on the severity of their allergies!**

He appreciates a calm environment when he’s getting to know people but could warm up to a busy family life. Within 2 weeks we could see him being completely comfortable with a new family.

(And as a bonus: If you are looking to adopt two dogs, his brother Jack is also available, and we would love to send them together. Jack is very shy and we describe him as “cat like” in that he gives you love on his own terms, but is still a calm and gentle dog. Please send us a message if you’re interested in one or both!)

This little lady is still waiting for her forever family. Are you that family?

Passion is a constantly happy, sweet and loving girl. She is bold and very people focused. She likes to be the center of attention. She is very smart and loves treats, so easy to train. She’s doing well with house training and is crate trained. This baby is well started for a 3 month old puppy.

Welcome to the farm Pixel, Modem, and Hashtag.

Yesterday we saw a post on our local community page about some puppies that had been dumped by a nearby farm and had been living there for at least 3 days.

They were so tiny and adorable that we did what we never do, and grabbed a crate and some food and drove right to where they had last been seen. We spent 3 hours there but only were able to catch 2 of the 3 puppies. A neighbor later was able to catch the 3rd and brought him to our vet.

These 3 puppies are so loving and trusting and we are so upset that someone would just dump them in a field.

Our vet did a full workup on them and they all appear to be about 6-8 months old. None of them had microchips. Right now they are full of ticks, worms, and are skin and bones. The biggest one has a broken leg. Once they are healthy enough we will get them spayed and neutered, and then they will be up for adoption.

They’ll likely all be very small dogs, probably not exceeding 15lbs. We aren’t sure what breed they are, but we are guessing mini poodles or poodle mixes.

We obviously will not be offering health guarantees on these guys but they will make amazing pets. We can’t wait to see their personalities come out as they feel safer and better in our care.

If you’re interested in any of them, please give us a shout! Follow them for the next little while as we get them feeling much better!

Hey guys! We need your help! One of our dogs is not doing well in his current home and is searching for a new family, as soon as possible.

He is afraid of the husband in the family and completely shuts down around him. He does fine with everyone else and other pets in the household.

He is looking for a quiet family that has the time and patience to spend with him and give him extra love and empower him to overcome his fears that he has developed. He is fine with women, children, and other pets. He is okay with men (the family has been working with a male trainer) but does not like the husband of this particular family.

This sweet boys name is Spruce and he will be evaluated back at the farm before heading somewhere new but we are looking to get him placed as soon as we can.

05/11/2024

We were able to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights right here in Southern MO last night at the farm! Did you guys get to see them where you were?

Unfortunately the dogs did not seem to care about this sighting and looked at us weirdly for staring at the night sky at midnight!

The Pocket litter hasn’t had much attention lately!

Jensen and Britton’s adorable mini bernedoodles are sweet as can be and take after both parents! They have the smarts of their dad (our most titled trick dog!) and the sweetness of their mom (who enjoys laying on you flat like a pancake at all times) and will make wonderful pets for any family looking for a small dog.

We expect them to be 20-30lbs as adults.

Both parents have been fully health tested and structurally tested through OFA. Puppies are raised on a puppy curriculum and are exposed to lots of farm sights and sounds. They are great with other dogs and cats, and of course love all people. They were born 2/13, making them 11 weeks old.

All of these puppies are 👀 for forever families!

7 week old petite mini goldendoodles. Ready next weekend for new pawrents. These babies are expected to be 25 pounds and under. They are sweet and very loving. Both males and females

Well! The prayers worked!

4/15 Update: mom and babies are doing well. Indie is starting to get an appetite. Her IV catheter has been removed and she is getting high protein, fatty foods, along with calcium. The babies are gaining well. All ten are still with us. The tiniest one gained 50% of his birthweight on day #1. We’re not out of the woods yet. Indy has a LOT of weight to gain back, but I’m hopeful with the high quality foods I’m feeding, she will be able to do that and still provide nutrition for her pups.

4/14 UPDATE: we have ten tiny puppies. They are fighters. We could still use your prayers that Indie continues to improve and babies thrive.

We had Indie scheduled for a second reverse progesterone test and then a scheduled c section this afternoon but she decided to bless us with puppies this morning! She’s had five healthy pups so far, who are resting in the incubator so mom can have a little break.

Indie is doing fabulous and has been almost back to her normal self during delivery. More updates to come today!

04/12/2024

Indie is back home and getting lots and lots of TLC and medicine. She’s still not eating but has started drinking and is getting IV fluids twice a day, plus iron, calcium, glucose supplements and more.

We still aren’t out of the woods yet, but we are praying for the best outcome.

We are happy to have her back home where she’s comfortable and she seems to be happier here as well.

04/11/2024

Send prayers for our Indie girl today!

She wasn’t feeling like herself last night and has now stopped eating. She’s still got a week to go before she’s ready to deliver her pups, but we are so thankful for our vet, Dr. Green, at West Plains Veterinary Clinic for taking our late night calls and getting us through the night at home so we could bring her in this morning!

She’s getting some meds and IV fluids at the vet right now while we rule out anything else.

We love ya Indie girl, you’ve got this!

Petite mini red tuxedo goldendoodles. These babies should be 20-25 pounds at maturity. They are SO friendly and outgoing. Ready the weekend of 4/20.

04/04/2024

UPDATE: Key Largo, now, Ollie has found his new home in Illinois.

Cutie Key Largo is still searching for a home! This quiet boy LOVES snuggles and everyone he meets. He would make an excellent couch ornament for any family. He is only around 35 pounds at 10 months, so he’s done growing.

If you are a beach/lake family Key Largo would love to join on those adventures as he enjoys a swim even on the most brisk mornings here on the farm

Key Largo is already neutered, house trained, crate trained, does great on a leash, and in general is a happy go lucky guy! Anyone would be lucky to have him!

03/11/2024

Louie (formerly Hardy from our small towns litter) finally found a home last week and started his first day as a facility dog today!! His new family reports that he’s been such a joy to have around, and we can’t wait to see updates on this boy that we loved for so long! 🐾

If you work somewhere that would be interested in a facility dog, reach out to us! We test the temperaments of every puppy from our program and can help steer you towards the best choice for everyone!

So we decided to get a little silly with this litter theme so welcome to the world…the “Pocket” litter!!

These little tiny mini bernedoodles will be 20-25lbs max! They are TINY! We are obsessed with just how small and feisty they are!

Because of their size, we will be holding on to them until 10 weeks old instead of our usual 8. We just want to make sure everyone is growing and is big enough to thrive in their new homes.

Contact us for more info!

🪐🌏🪐The Planet Litter is out of this world! 🌎🪐🌍

These little cuties are 6 weeks old and happy little guys! They wag their tails constantly and the entire litter runs up for pets when you call them.

Quincy and Bjork had eight healthy, happy pups. These mini bernedoodles are expected to be 30-35lbs, with calm temperaments and loving personalities. They will make great family pets.

Wallace and Bergen had just one puppy, Han Solo, who was raised alongside this litter.

Bergen and Bjork are mother and daughter and actually raised all nine of these guys together! The puppies got the benefit of having more milk and extra parenting lessons! Han Solo is one day younger than his other “siblings”

02/23/2024

A very excited young man is picking up his puppy from us on Sunday, and his extremely sweet teachers threw him a “Puppy Party” today in excitement of the new addition and in memory of his old friend! ❤️❤️

Micah we can’t wait for you and River to meet!

UPDATE: Only miss Dandelion is still looking for her forever family. We aren’t planning on any standards any time soon. Don’t miss out on our last one.

All the Wildflowers went to the vet today to get their final vet checks before meeting their new families! These three still don’t have homes though and would love to join yours!

These guys are standard bernedoodles, expected to be 50-60lbs. Mom, Bunny, is very human focused, and dad, Dunkin, is a working service dog. These guys have excellent temperaments and want nothing more than to give you love!

Message us for more info!
