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.

HOLLY X JASPER PUPPIES HAVE ARRIVED! 8 F2 Goldendoodles arrived on May 30, 2013

Sire JASPER F1 English Cream Goldendoodle
Dam Holly F1 Black Goldendoodle (with Chocolate Factor)



ALL PUPPIES FROM HOLLY X JASPER's F2 MAY 2013 PUPPIES HAVE BEEN PLACED.
PLEASE see our FACEBOOK page for photos. We will repeat this breeding Spring 2014.
you want to place a puppy "ON HOLD" Please email us for an application, fill it out, return to us and once we approve your application, you will be asked to place a $200 deposit down on your puppy.  Puppies are placed on hold officially,  once your deposit has been made, in order of how they are rec'd.  Please include the puppy's birth order #,  on your application request and please list your 1st & 2nd choice.  For families in our area, we do allow visits, but are strict about hand washing and usually wait until their eyes are open, around 2 weeks of age. We do not allow the puppies outside until after their 1st series of shots and even than, they are only allowed in our fenced yard, with supervision. Puppies should not be allowed around dog parks, pet store floors, neighborhoods, etc., until they have had at least 3 of the 4 sets of shots, as PARVO is HIGHLY contagious and can KILL puppies who are not yet fully vaccinated. Dew Claws will be removed on Monday.   *****IMPORTANT, if you are ready to place a deposit to HOLD a puppy, you can use our paypal link on the right, but if you want to pay for your puppy in full, please email us and we will send you an invoice with the correct amount for your puppy and per any prior agreements with us.  Also, if we will be escorting your puppy, please email us for an invoice with the proper amount, as these can vary slightly depending on arrangements and where you live. ********

The kids with Jasper, our English Cream Goldendoodle, Christmas 2012 


Jasper at about 12 weeks, taken when he first came home

Jasper's 1st day home! 

Jasper on Halloween, he was a spider 

Hey who turned the lights out? 

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.  

Puppies Bring Healing

Whenever possible, we try to donate puppies to children who have lost a parent in Iraq or Afghanistan, to soldiers wounded in Iraq or who have PTSD or traumatic brain injuries. We also provide our puppies to special needs children who need a therapy dog.
Our first donated puppy was to a little boy who lost his father in Iraq and we have donated two puppies to families with special needs children, to be trained as service dogs, or to be companion dogs to help these children with PTSD. 
Do you know a family who could truly benefit from having one of our puppies?  Please let us know via private email or call us.
Would you like to help get one of our pups into a family who could benefit? We would appreciate donations of any kind to help with the expenses of getting these special pups into families that truly need them.
For more information please contact us privately.
