Australian Labradoodle Minis 6-7 Weeks

2011-05-15T13:33:00.000-07:00

Lavender's puppies at 6 weeks to 7 week old. This video is a compilation of clips from the litter's first week of visits to the puppy yard. The video begins as the pups are first introduced to the yard in their pen and continues through the week.
Watch as the puppies gain confidence and become familiar with the yard. They love romping around, hiding in the longer clumps of grass or under low hanging leaves, and jumping up for the camera. Some of them, like Flash, the big black boy with a white flash down his chest, are already camera hogs!

The pups are getting stronger and more athletic. Their vigorous play sessions are followed by long naps, cycling through the day around their feeding times. They are really developing their builds and their coats are coming in nicely. It was a very noticeable size gain this week. You'll notice that some of them already need a trimming around the eyes. They'll be ready to go home soon! Vet appointments are going to be called in and scheduled over the next couple of weeks.

This weekend the pups are five weeks old. They are playing more and more. They run, wrestle, and chase each other during puppy play. Puppy temperaments and pack order are emerging. They have also been eating solid food and are starting to nurse from Mama Sage less and less. They enjoy their time in the play yard - a chance for them to explore more of the world around them. We've expanded their living quarters; they are doing very well with their paper training.

They are walking well and playing together. They have moved out of our bedroom into our dinningroom, where they have a big window out to the world.

Soon, they go on their first outdoor adventure.

Sage's litter - Week 6

2008-11-29T15:01:00.001-08:00

Outdoor puppy play sessions are increasingly longer. They are developing their balance and getting their exercise by wrestling, running, and chasing. They are an affectionate bunch - coming back when called and not wandering too far from Sage and from us. Our entire family enjoys the time with them. Long naps follow their play. Sage is nursing up to two to three times a day. Other meals include raw meats - ground beef, chicken, and turkey with goat's milk. They are growing steadily and getting more and more accustomed to routine. They use their indoor potty area and are getting used to going potty outdoors when let out first thing in the morning, after naps, and after meals. They catch on quickly and are learning to keep their den clean. Their temperaments are proving to be playful, gentle, mellow, and loving.

Puppies First Day Out - Week 4

The puppies enjoyed their first day outside on Monday, November 17th.
They had a great time exploring the little puppy yard and running with each other. They wore themselves out pretty quickly on the fist day, with all the excitement of new smells and activities.

Sage's litter of puppies is three weeks old.

The pups are socializing with one another. Their eyes are open now. They are standing up, well; and, in the last couple of days, they have begun to play with each other. They have moved to their second den, in our living-room area and are enjoying a little more leg room to work on their running skills.

Sage Puppies 1st week - 5 days old

2008-10-25T18:21:00.000-07:00

Sage's puppies are almost one week old in these photos. Their eyes and ears are still sealed. But, their ears are starting to flop over already. They'll start to acquire and develop their vision and hearing by next week. This week they continue to use their best sense, smell, in order to navigate their small world - the whelping box.

The pups spend the day nursing and sleeping. When their mother enters the area they wiggle towards her, looking like little seals as they scoot around the box and sounding like small cats when they cry. Now, at the end of week one, they are beginning to lift themselves, on wobbly, little legs.

Sage Puppies Have Arrived! OCT 19

Sage Puppies Due October 22, 2008

2008-09-28T11:01:00.000-07:00

Our sweet and gentle Sage is expecting pups!

Sage is a beautiful standard chocolate Australian Labradoodle who loves to fetch, play in the water, and just lie at our feet. Sage brings genetic diversity to our Dood Pack. Her ancestory reaches back to Tegan Park, while bringing in new lines from Tassie Labradoodles and US breeders.

This is Sage's first litter. Sage was bred with Tegan Park Fabien. Fabien is our cream standard stud. Like Sage, Fabien is intelligent, respectful and a pleasure to be around.
Fabien's pups are mellow in temperament, with wonderfully sturdy and athletic body structures.

Sage might carry the gene for cream-colored puppies. We are waiting to be surprised with the birth of the pups. We definitely expect black and chocolate puppies. The chocolate puppies from this litter should range in color from Espresso to Lavender to Cafe Au Lait (or Parchment).

We expect some awesome pups from these two loving family companions!
