News about our puppies.
Lilibet and Tucker plan to have puppies.
They hope the puppies will be born early in 2024 and go home in the spring.
These will be Standard-Sized, Multi-Generation Australian Labradoodles.
They should grow to be between 40 and 50 pounds.
Colors will be red, apricot and caramel. Some should have white abstract markings. There may be a tuxedo and a parti.
Gracee is in a Guardian Family. She is spending a few weeks at our house to have her puppies. She came a week before they were born and she’ll stay until they are weaned.
Evie
Evie had her fourth (and final) litter. She was a super involved mom with all her puppies. She will continue to live at home with her people, her mom Penny, her older sister Fiona and her younger sister Lilibet.

Evie had an x-ray one week before her puppies are due.
Evie and Milo are planning a litter for early 2023.
We expect Evie to come into season during December 2022.
This will be Evie’s final litter. You can see how cute her last litter, also with Milo, was by looking at our Puppies page.
Just over two weeks old, Evie and Milo’s litter all have their eyes open and are running all over the whelping box. In a few days they will move into the Crystal Palace.
With six of the puppies asleep and mom just beyond the pig rail, Marge and Mike play and wait for their eyes to open.
Evie had her third litter on June 28th, 2022. This was her second litter with Milo. There are four boys and four girls.
Peggy Jean, Frieda and Molly Volley are ready to go home on March 28th.
Peppermint Patty is looking for a Guardian Family.
Peppermint Patty is available for a family living within one hour of Stanwood Washington. Being a Guardian Family isn’t for everyone. Our Guardian page tries to make it clear how much of a commitment it will be.
Peppermint Patty at four weeks
Gracee is a girl we have in a Guardian Family. She has passed all of her genetic and physical tests and we are waiting for her to be old enough to be bred.
Here is a note we got from her Guardian Family.
“Last night I let Gracee out for her bedtime potty break. After bringing her back in, she continued to want back out by ringing her bell and barking. Her usual routine is to go "night-night" and head to her crate/bed without barking or resistance. While I was annoyed with her continuous barking over my "quiet" commands, I followed Gracee outside and noticed a her running and sniffing the retaining wall. By then, there was a definite fresh burning wire smell. I took a begrudgingly barking Gracee back inside and searched the back/ front of the house. I couldn't locate anything so I texted my neighbors to check their homes. Within minutes, my neighbor spotted smoke coming up from my retaining wall.
I called 911, the Firemen were able to put out a small fire that was on it's way to quickly becoming a big fire. Had it not been for Gracee's bark warnings, behavior and persistence I would have gone to bed with a fire burning away.
I may have already told you about her bear warning a few months ago, if not, add that to Gracee's good deeds. One evening she was anxiously running outside back and forth with her tail and head up, barking. When I went outside, my neighbor warned me that there was a black bear around the corner.”
We don’t advertise our Australian Labradoodles as Hero Dogs, but we won’t deny it if asked.
Gracee. Hero.
Fiona and Creed‘s third litter was born on July 19th, 2021.
They spent their first three days eating, sleeping and climbing on their mom.
Fiona had an x-ray on Monday July 12th. Her reproductive vet counts ten puppies. They are due on the 19th.
At four and a half weeks the puppies get powdered kibble added to their formula.
Then they play.
Then they sleep.
When the puppies in Evie's first litter were three weeks old they were introduced to formula. Some of them took to it more readily than others.
At two (and a half) weeks old, Evie’s first litter of puppies are playful and walking about.
