We have a NEW WEBSITE: http://www.doodlebugblessingsgoldendoodles.weebly.com
Fall 2015-Spring 2016
Maci Mae was bred to Teddy in early August, her pregnancy has been confirmed and she should deliver around Oct. 3rd - 6th.  These will be F3 Mini-Enlgish Cream Parti Goldendoodles, 20-35 lbs at maturity on average.  No spots open at this time and we have one family on our waiting list.  We will open more spots, if she delivers more than 5 puppies.

Holly was bred to Jasper, also in early August, pregnancy confirmed and is due to deliver between Oct. 7th - 11th.  This will be Holly's last litter and she will be spayed when her puppies are weaned.  Holly's puppies will be F2 English Cream Goldendoodles.  Holly is known to deliver highly intuitive puppies with great therapy dog potential.  As of today, we only have one spot open for her list.  We will open more spots, if she delivers more than 6 puppies.

We have been contacted by two very deserving families in need of puppies that can be trained as therapy/service dogs.  One family has a son on the Autism Spectrum, who is being bullied at school, so he could really use a friend and companion to boost his confidence and we know that goldendoodles can do just that for children and adults.  The other family has a child with Spinal Muscular Atrophy similar to ALS and she needs a dog who can help her live a more normal life. It is our hearts desire to help both families, but after donating 2 puppies fully from our last litter, reducing 2 more to half or less for other families in need and reducing another for a family adopting their second doodle from us, we are not in the position to donate fully at this time., but are willing to reduce fees as much as possible.  If you find it in your hearts to help us make this possible for either family to receive a puppy, we would welcome any donation you are able to give, so we can still meet our family's financial obligations.  We have two teen daughters who cannot wait any longer to take driver's ed and the cost here is very high x 2.  They need their licenses to drive, so they can work part-time and before they both graduate from High School.  One is a senior already and the other is a junior.  We will do all we can to make it possible as well, if we have more puppies than we have predicted.  This is something that we are very passionate about doing.

We have now donated 2 puppies to vets with PTSD and we know that they are already making a difference to their owner's lives.  Just hearing how they are doing, makes it all worth it.  We live for updates from our families, it makes all the work, worth it for our children, when they SEE photos and read letters showing how happy, healthy and loved these puppies are once they go home and leave the nest.

We have plans to repeat our pairing of Ginger x Teddy soon, if both are in the best health possible.  Ginger will most likely only have 1-2 more litters, before she too is retired like her mama Holly. At this time, we have 2 openings for that litter.  Watch for updates on timing of this litter.  If we have smooth coat goldendoodles in their litter again, we hope to donate at least one puppy from that future litter.

We will most likely only have one-two litters in 2016.  Every family that adopts from us, is part of our Doodle family forever.  We have been blessed by all of you.

Blessings, Kim and family
