Taking Care of the Labradoodle Puppies

It’s too wet to garden and I’m spending my time raising six Australian Labradoodle puppies. Mind you, I’m not complaining about the rain. We who live along the central coast don’t complain when we get rain. It is so desperately needed to keep our gardens growing and our Monterey Pines thriving.

I Thought my readers might be interested in how the puppies are turning out. Living with six bundles of energy takes up most of my time when I’m not outside digging in the dirt. So if you’ve been following my blog, you know that Matilda (Tillie) has given birth and is now weaning her fluffballs.  They’ll be going to new homes at the end of the year. Little pieces of my heart will go with them.

These puppies come from a long line of hypo-allergenic, non-shedding service dogs. They are gentle animals, intelligent, easy to train, and make loveable pets as well as working dogs. The breeder, Elizabeth Ferris of Country Labradoodlesships them all over the world. It is my job to ready them for the journey and, hopefully, an opportunity to bring love and joy to those around them.

“Twinkletoes” is curious, lovable, happy, and well, adorable.
“Starboy” Big and beautiful. Smart and gentle. He’ll be about 45 lbs.
“Scooter” is small enough to crawl into my lap and fall asleep.
“Hoagie” is a “lover”. Soft, gentle, gorgeous. He’ll weigh about 45 pounds when grown.
Angel is one of the smaller girls. Active and fun-loving.

 

“Marilyn” Blond and beautiful. A face to die for.

  1. Could you put me in touch with your breeder? I love how you have loved these little ones!

  2. Hi Jennifer. We have known Elizabeth Ferris at Country Labradoodles in Paso Robles for three years. She has been breeding dogs for 17. She carefully matches pups with new homes so that both the dog and the new “parents” are happy. She happily takes back a dog that doesn’t work out, which seldom happens with her careful matching. Her telephone number is 805.226.8988 but the best way to reach her is by email at elizabeth@charter.net. She is a wealth of information and you will enjoy talking with her.

    Yes, oh how we are loving these pups! They are quite remarkable for six-week-olds and I think it is due to our handling and individual attention. They are paper-training themselves. I’m happy about that! They are going to start on an introduction to collars and leashes next week.
    Don’t know what you are looking for but wishing you the best of luck in your search for the perfect companion.
