UPCOMING LITTERS!

UPCOMING LITTERS: please email for current litter prices, as they are subject to change.  Once you have an approved application with us, your fees will not change.  If you wish to pay via paypal, and the amount you need to pay is different than that on the paypal link, please contact us and we can invoice you individually. As of December 31, 2013, you will need to add 3.2% for all paypal payments, or you can pay the 3.2% in cash at the time of pick up.  We have been absorbing this fee, but are no longer able to do so.

2013 Puppies have all been placed
Holly x Jasper May 2013 puppies have all been placed..  Ginger was bred to Jasper on August 17th, 2013, we are expecting puppies approx October 17th, 2013 (6 puppies arrived on October 20th and all are placed).

***WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO FIRST PICK FROM ANY OF OUR LITTERS, FOR EITHER BREEDING PURPOSES, OR FOR THERAPY/COMPANION DOGS, THAT WILL BE DONATED, OR GREATLY REDUCED, IN ORDER TO BLESS FAMILIES IN NEED OF THESE WONDERFUL DOGS FOR THEMSELVES, OR FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. We will not pick first from every litter, but will on occasion. ***  Breeding rights are available to approved breeders, for an additional fee.  Contact us for more information***

We cannot guarantee how your puppy's coat will turn out, but can give you a good indication, based on past litters from the same sire and dam.  

2014 PLANNED LITTERS: 
We have two litters planned for 2014
1stt we will repeat our breeding with Holly x Jasper, F2 puppies should arrive in May (4 deposits already rec'd, only two spots left) This will most likely be our last F2 litter for some time.  There is a chance that we will have one or two smooth coats from their pairing, but we are breeding them for the blockier heads and a stockier build of the English Cream Golden Retrievers & they produced several wavy to curly coats in their last pairing and super sweet temperaments and smart puppies too!  The curlier coats that they produced, all have the GORGEOUS, Teddy Bear Coats.  The smooth coats will most likely resemble the retriever side, more than the poodle, or traditional Goldendoodles, but they should shed less and should retain a lot of the English Cream retriever laid back personality, intelligence and loyalty. So for those of you who LOVE the Golden Retrievers, but hate all the shedding, the smooth coats may be the next best thing!  Great for active families, as they will require less grooming than the traditional doodles. You can see photos of Holly x Jasper's F2 puppies from May 2013, on our Facebook page. Jasper throws creams as well as the blocky head and stocky body of the English Cream Golden Retriever. Fees will remain the same as 2013 for approved early reservations (applications with deposits). 

UPDATE 3/21/14 HOLLY IS IN SEASON and will be bred to Jasper next week, expect her puppies to arrive the last week of May, first week of June 2014, ready for new homes around July 23rd. Smooth, wavy and curly all possible with this litter of F2's.  If you are open to a smooth coat, (more retriever), please let us know.  They are beautiful, sweet, smart dogs that should shed less than a golden retriever.  All 3 of our families who have adopted a smooth coat doodle, just love them so much.  They really retain the intelligence, sweet, laid back temperament and beauty of the English Cream Golden Retriever!  

Even with an F3 (b), a smooth coat is possible, you wouldn't think so, but it is definitely possible. If a puppy is not available from the litter you have placed a deposit for, you will have the option of moving your deposit to another litter, or receiving a refund. 

2nd we will repeat our Ginger x Jasper F3 (b) litter, puppies should arrive around the first week of June 2014, (we had planned to wait until fall to repeat this litter, but someone had other plans)  (We have 2 deposits for this litter already), so only 4 spots remain for our 2014 Ginger x Jasper litter)  
Be sure to see all our puppy pics from our 2013 litters on our Facebook page!  Doodlebug Blessings Goldendoodles and watch our website and Facebook page for updates. Pictures of Ginger are on our Facebook page!  $1200 for all colors, but black, they are $1000.  

***Fall 2014-2015 Litters***
Fall or early spring 
1st planned litter will be fall 2014 or early spring 2015 for F2b Mini-English Cream Goldendoodles. We will be expecting dark apricot, apricot and all shades of cream with this pairing of our mini-doodle girl Maci Mae.   Maci is parti-colored cream/white and apricot,  her parents are both dark apricot and cream (reverse of her colors) and our F1b male part English Cream boy Ted E. Bear, aka Teddy. He is also a mini-parti doodle, but he is dark apricot and cream, reverse of Maci Mae,and he is part English Cream and has the stocky build of the English Cream.  His grandparents are both GANA registered and completely health tested, as is his sire.  Puppies should be approx. 20-35 lbs. These puppies will be great for those with allergies and for those wanting a smaller doodle. $1600 for all solid colors, $1800 for the parti-colored minis from this litter. New pictures of Maci Mae and Teddy coming soon!  
Maci Mae as a puppy
she is now 24 lbs. and is full grown. 
Ted E. Bear aka Teddy
Our mini-parti-English Cream male F1b Goldendoodle
He is a cuddle bear. He should be 27.3 lbs at maturity, he is currently 23 lbs. 



2nd We have tentative plans to breed Holly one last time,  next spring (2015), but possibly to our mini-parti, part English Cream male, for F2b medium to standard goldendoodles with teddy bear coats. $1200 all shades of cream & apricot, $1000 for black and $1400 for parti-colors.  Or we will repeat our pairing of Holly with Jasper, for F2 Goldendoodles.  We will update as we get closer to spring. Update: Holly was bred to Jasper again, her 8 puppies arrived on April 12th and all are now placed.  Tentative plans to bred Holly one more tme after all, before she retires and she will be bred to a small standard poodle for F1b's.  Stay tuned for updates.  We will do picks earlier for this litter, as there will not be any smooth coats.  

FALL 2015 
3rd, We will breed Ginger to either Jasper, or our mini-male, for F3 (b) puppies, or multi-gens.  Ginger has a curly coat, but not as tight as a poodle coat and Jasper has a loose to spiral curl fleece coat.  You can see Ginger x Jasper's previous puppy pictures on our Facebook page.  Teddy is an F1b part-English Cream, apricot and cream Goldendoodle with a Teddy Bear Fleece Coat. Teddy's parents are both health tested and Teddy will be also. Photos of Teddy above, more coming soon. Ask us about fees for this litter, once we decide who we are breeding Ginger to. UPDATE:  We bred Ginger to Teddy and 9 beautiful puppies arrived on Father's Day.  As of June 29th, picks 7, 8 & 9 are still available and picks will begin in order, between 5-6 weeks of age, to better determine coat types and temperaments.  

Maci Mae will be bred to Teddy again for Mini-doodles, sometime between June/early July, for mini-Parti-English Cream Goldendoodles 20-35 lbs.  Puppies should arrive sometime in August and will be ready to go home in October.  These will be our next puppies to arrive after Ginger x Teddy's puppies that arrived June 21st.  

Holly will be bred one last time before she retires, no planned dates yet, stay tuned for updates, but we hope to breed her to a smaller standard poodle for F1b's, either a red or a white male, for apricot, red, black, cream or chocolate goldendoodles.  We are talking to another breeder now.  We will post when plans are confirmed.  She will NOT have anymore litters after that litter and she will be spayed and enjoy just being part of our family, or going off to college with our daughter next year, as she is her dog.  We all love her dearly and everyone loves her puppies.  

Spring 2016: We hope to repeat our Ginger x Teddy litter and our Maci x Teddy litter. No other plans at this time.  

2017, we hope to have an F1 litter of English Cream Goldendoodles with our ECGR male Solomon or our ECGR female Aspen, after they have completed all health testing.  At some point, we also hope to have a litter or two of ECGR's.  (English Cream Golden Retrievers).  

We will also be looking for at least one GUARDIAN home for a female from one or two of the next litters.  Email for more information on becoming a guardian home. Puppies in our guardian program will be used in our breeding program when they are old enough and usually for only 1-3 litters. Fees for a puppy placed in a guardian home will be for the deposit only and will be our pick of the litter puppy.  Guardian homes need to be within two hours drive from our home. Guardians will be responsible for routine vet fees, food, grooming, training.  We will cover all health testing before they are bred, all whelping expenses and puppy expenses. We may also be looking for a guardian home for a male puppy, where your commitment will be a lot less work.
