F1 Medium Goldendoodle Puppies are Here!

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of nine healthy goldendoodle puppies, six boys and three girls. The girls began arriving around 1:15 pm and the six boys arrived afterwards until approximately 10:15 pm. Lucy was a trooper throughout the labor process and is a lovely mom to her little munchkins. She sticks very close to the puppies especially during the 1st week of their life. After a week, she starts to take little breaks and by week three, she goes for short car rides and walks.

Caring for the mom is our key job early on, along with keeping the puppies warm and secure in their box. There are fleece blankets and then layers of washable puppy pads underneath, secured by the box and changed regularly.  There is a heat pad in one corner of the whelping box where the puppies can go as needed and regulate themselves. There are also blankets on a frame over the box to maintain a summer temperature. Lucy is receiving foods with calcium, her regular dog food, fish oil, some wet food and lots of water as she diligently cares for her brood. 

Mira, our five year old loves to give the puppies temporary names such as Finn, Russell Wilson, Rosetta, Spirit and Chrysanthemum. Initially, the puppies all look about the same. Yet as they grow, they become their own unique beings, worthy of receiving names from the perspective of a little girl, until they are renamed by their owners at puppy pick time or when they go home. It's a delightful process. Before we know it, the puppies' eyes will open to view the world.

This photo displays the safety rails in the whelping box that provides the puppies with breathing space to go behind their mom, during their first two weeks of life.

Four of the puppies have markings on their head similar to this puppy which is typical with puppies from the sire, Reggie. He has party poodle in his lines. This head marking will fade most likely as an adult dog and it is so much fun as a puppy! Five of the puppies also appear to be red/dark apricot and four, a medium apricot, as far as coat color.

In the first set of photos, Lucy is feeding five puppies and cuddling with four puppies underneath her neck. She is incredibly attentive as she rotates the puppies for feeding, along with licking them to stimulate their bodily functions, an essential aspect for this age of life.  

 This photo displays all nine puppies, including the one eating upside down. :)

 This female thought that the coolest and warmest place to be is on top of all the puppies!

Have a good evening from Lucy and the puppies! That's all folks!

We are expecting F1 medium goldendoodles!

Hello!
The Palosaari household is very excited about our upcoming litter that is due this weekend.  

I've attached photos of Lucy, our AKC mom for F1 medium doodles (37-57 lbs), and her prior puppies.

We will be posting puppy photos and emailing within a few days of the puppies being born.  The list for this litter is full at this time. This may change, based on the size of the litter, and how many spots become confirmed with deposits.

Photos of our parents and prior puppies of Lucy's are on our Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/seattlegoldendoodles/
The cover of our facebook page is Lucy's son, Artie.

Lucy is sweet, friendly, playful, confident and calm.

Reggie, the 30 lb AKC poodle sire, is sweet, quiet, loving and playful.

Note from the "D" family regarding Ranger, prior puppy of Lucy's.

"Hi Trina,

Since the puppies' birthday was last week, we thought we'd share some pictures of Ranger full-grown! He's about 45 pounds now, and so great with our foster son and all the other kids he gets to meet. It was so great that you began potty training them at such a young age, because Ranger was accident free at around 5 1/2- 6 months! He's a really easygoing guy and LOVES playing with other dogs. He's a very smart little boy. We're so happy with our puppy!

Thanks!"

Ranger

Greetings from the puppies! We are almost 8 weeks old and are having the time of our lives as a part of the great adventure! Following Trina, Lucy, Mira or Joy around in a pack of 12 continues our legacy as the pupparazzi!  Momma Trina took some videos of us in action that she will share with Google+. We now eat dry puppy food, are thriving, and will receive our first set of vaccinations along with a vet visit soon. The time has arrived for half of us to be with our families in a matter of days. The other half of us will join our families after Memorial Day weekend. It's great to be alive!
