UPDATE: May 20, 2013 52 days today, only about 9 days to go. We got an x-ray today showing puppies! We think we can see 11-12. How many do you see? Count the spines, or heads. She is feeling great, only one day of morning sickness, but she is getting so she wants our other dogs to leave her be and they just want to play & play & play. The whelping box will be set up this week, and bedding & towels will be stacked and ready to go. If you are wanting an early pick, please be sure to email us for an application. We will review your application and let you know if you are approved, usually the same day. After your application is accepted, you will be asked to get your deposit in either by mail, or paypal within 72 hours, unless other arrangements have been made in advance. UPDATE: May 9, 2013 Holly is 41 days along today and her tummy keeps getting bigger and bigger. Her appetite has been increasing as well. She enjoys her daily prenatal vitamins and I think she actually looks forward to them, or maybe it's just her wanting all the treats we will give her, lol. She also wants constant attention. We need volunteers that will let her lick your face for hours on end, lol
Hard to believe that she is due 3 weeks from yesterday. Time goes so fast.
Next week we will begin increasing her food intake by 25% and will increase it another 25% the following week, along with continuing her prenatal vitamins.
MONDAY she will be 45 days along, so she will be x-rayed at our vets office, to see if we can determine how many puppies she is expecting, or at least get a good idea.
Once the puppies are born, we will begin doing Early Neurological Stimulation, or E.N.T. for more info about the benefits of E.N.T., click here: http://breedingbetterdogs.com/pdfFiles/articles/early_neurological_stimulation_en.pdf
If you want to make sure you will get a puppy from this litter, it is advised that you fill out an application, and place your deposit as soon as possible. Applications can be requested by email or phone. Deposits can be made by PayPal, Cashier's Check, cash, or personal check. $40 fee for returned checks.
UPDATE: April 26, 2013 I took Holly to the vet today to see if they could confirm if she is expecting and we are excited to say that Holly is expecting, (Jasper too). The vet could feel at least 4, so she left it at that since we were just confirming her pregnancy. We will xray at 45 day, which will be May 13th. We should be able to count spines by than. She has gained 2 lbs, so she is now a healthy 47 lbs. Keep checking back for more updates.
UPDATE: GOOD FRIDAY, 2013 HOLLY & JASPER have honeymooned and we are expecting puppies the last week of May, 1st of June 2013! Puppy Applications being taken now! Will post application form in the next week or so, or they can be e-mailed to you at any time. We have spoken to 7 families that are seriously considering a puppy from this litter, no deposits have been received as of 4-16-13, so there is still time to get an early pick. We will only take 6 applications initially, until the puppies arrive. If she has more, we will open up applications at that time for #'s 7, 8 etc.
We will post more details as the time gets closer! We are expecting, Black, Apricot/Golden & English Cream. Coats, should be soft and wavy to curly with zero to very low shedding. This will be our only litter for 2013, so they will go fast. Expecting F2 Goldendoodles, so they will have the same 50/50 split of the Golden Retriever and poodle, as the F1 Goldendoodles. Holly & Jasper are both F1 Goldendoodles. Find Doodlebug Blessings on FACEBOOK! See pictures of Jasper & Holly on our Facebook page also, as well as pics of past puppies from Holly & Asia. Jasper is 45 lbs, almost totally white, extremely soft (Teddy Bear soft) and very laid back, think Eeyore! Holly is also 45 lbs., she is super sweet & will clean your face with kisses if you let her. She also LOVES to give hugs. They both follow us everywhere we go. Jasper is very laid back, think Eeyore! He is like a cuddly, teddy bear. His face and big, dark eyes are irresistible!
To see individual photos of all of our puppies from 2012, please click the "Meet Our Newest Puppies" menu to the left. We will post pics of new puppies when they arrive, sometime in May/early June 2013. As of now, we will not have another litter until early - mid 2014, unless something changes, so Holly & Jasper's puppies will be our only puppies for 2013.
