Leonard is Hunny and Ace's last puppy. He is so sweet and calm. He loves to play with his mom and cousin.
training them not to be afraid of loud noises
Late night puppy antics. 🙂 The puppies are 8 weeks old today. One goes home Saturday. None of the other applicants have responded to me. 🤷🏼♀️
I spoke with the creator of the neopar vaccine yesterday and I now have a plan in place that will hopefully prevent parvo in all of these puppies. It will mean that they can't go to their new homes until they are 9 weeks old but that doesn't matter if they are healthy!
Little Lucy is our last guardian home dog still here. At about 40 pounds she loves to play with her 75 pound auntie Piper. 💗
THIS makes me thankful for all of the hours of jump rope I played as a kid.
This sweet girl loves to play fetch. Would you like to play fetch with her?
What is a Guardian Family?
A Guardian or Guardian Family is a person or household that agrees to keep and look after a breeder’s dog. This is a formal contract that carries legal obligations, some of which can impact and restrict your lifestyle. Failing to uphold your end of the bargain could lead to the dog breeder taking back your beloved pet. As a result, never enter a Guardianship contract without a guardianship attorney to ensure your agreement is fair and practical in the long term.
Dog breeders use Guardian Families to ensure that their breeding dogs have happy and healthy lives as the pet of a loving family. Guardian Families are far more humane than the alternative of puppy farms, which do not provide any of the care and attention a dog needs to live a happy life.

Warning- there are jealous puppies and chickens in the background. You may want to turn your sound down. 😄
The puppies had fun camping and they did really well. They met lots of people, got to play with kids, tried walking on leashes, and slept every night in crates. Now to get them cleaned up and ready to go to the vet tomorrow and then to their homes.
Today we are exploring a slippery surface that makes noise. 🙂 On a not so fun note, hunny stole a bag of marshmallows, took it in with the puppies and ate the whole bag. She then got sick and threw up said marshmallows all over her puppies. It's like trying to get gum out of the hair of 8 puppies. It's in their paws and on their heads. 🤦🏼♀️ #marshmallowvomit #goldendoodle #goldendoodlesofinstagram #montana #goldendoodlepuppies
Trying out some puréed food.
They were climbing out of the whelping box so it was time for the big pen. They are getting so cute!

Grandma is trying to get the puppies to play in the snow. 💗
They are curious and not afraid but beware, they may want to "help" you vacuum.
Some things to know about the puppies; Empty pizza boxes and litter bags are way better than toys. We go through a bag of puppy food and a bag of litter every two days. Theirs pens are cleaned twice a day. If you put grates over the litter boxes to keep the litter in, I've heard that you can actually train puppies to pee in heating vents. Yes, there is litter on our floors. 🙂
We still have a couple males from this litter available. They will be bigger, sturdy, devoted kids dogs.
