Three Week Check-In
What a wonderful week! The puppies are doing so well and started some solid foods yesterday & loved it! Freya was the first to dive in but the rest weren’t far behind. We had teeth coming through for many of them and ears are now open for all puppies.
We also got out the grass mats for them thinking it was too early for them to start learning butttt thought why not give it a go as they seem so advanced in other areas and they have actually started using them! So we are hoping by the time they are ready for their new homes, they will be well on their way toilet training and crate training will begin next week.
All coats are currently showing a wave which is indicative of a fleece or combination coat. Some more than others. However, from the past litter, we know this changes so much as they grow so it is really too early to say for sure.
They are playing together and having longer awake times. They are now sleeping a solid 6 hours at night so everyone is a little happier to be having more sleep. As we are very hands-on with helping our whelping Mum we have been doing 24/7 shifts making sure they were all good. Now Mum is happy to leave them at night we have the baby monitor set up to take her in when they wake up. Mum prefers this as she can relax and sleeps much better when she isn’t in the whelping box with them.

Have you applied for one of our Puppies? Or would like to Apply?
Although we think that we have more than enough families for the current litter which will be confirmed in the coming weeks, feel free to apply in case something happens and one becomes available. Circumstances can change.
The few weeks will get us past the riskiest time for puppies especially since Mumma has been unwell. As we are small ethical family breeders, we do not take deposits on puppies until we are certain that we have one perfect for you and your family because we can never be certain when our next litter will be.
As puppies will be due to go to their homes just before Christmas we will be ensuring that all families are well suited and not just a ‘gift’. We also make sure that new owners are aware of the expected size of them as fully grown dogs and ensure that they are prepared to adequately train them. Remember these are standard Groodles, not mini so training is extremely important. See past litter details here to get an idea of the expected size as parents are the same.
Like our first litter, we encourage anyone who ‘needs’ non-shedding, hypoallergenic dogs to think about a fully hypoallergenic dog (like a poodle) as there is no way we can 100% guarantee what coats will be when fully grown as they change so much in the first 12 months and this is when they will get their full adult coat.
Viewings will take place from four weeks of age at this stage once they are past the riskiest weeks. In order of those who contacted us earliest which we are currently working out.
We aren’t expecting to have any F1 litters in the near future however we will be looking at breeding Franki & Ivy for an F1b Litter for those wanting more hypo-allergenic dogs and also an F2 litter if we can find a suitable male.
