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

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
Our 9 little reindeer are 3 weeks old! Theyâre into awkwardly bumping into each other with their wobbly little legs and checking out as much as possible before passing out from exhaustion. I saw this every litter, but theyâre probably the cutest đ
The puppy pile has become a nightly routine đđžâ¨
