Update - KD's pups at 6 weeks old

The pups are growing and developing nicely. They're very social and love to play with visitors. I've found this bunch to be milder in temperament and it's probably because KD is such a quiet girl. They love the new K9 Family Room we set up in the barn complete with couch and TV. The kids like this way of socializing the pups... it works well.

KD and Dayo's pups

The pups are growing and are so adorable. Here's what I see after four weeks:

Mary is a very curly, dark apricot/red girl who is social, friendly and Sara's favorite.
Joseph is a more wavy-coated boy with a warm personality and loads of curiousity.
Angel is a lighter apricot curly girl and is just as her name says... a snuggly, quiet angel.
King is a BIG boy with a wavy coat, lots of confidence and is adapting well with the puppy program.
Star is a curly poodly-looking girl - quiet, gentle and a real love.
Gabriel is a curly boy, is easy-going, adventuresome and a bit hesitant with picture taking.
Lamby is a wavy-coated girl with lots of character, energy, and curiousity.
Beth is a wavy coat and my favorite character. She is quiet, attentive and loving.
Joy is a curly companion, likes to be with you and is fairly quiet as well.

Angel, Joy and Mary.

Another shot of Angel and Mary.

I'm really attached to this bunch and I'm not sure why. They've been a real joy to me in the midst of stress and busy-ness.

KD delivers our 1st Goldendoodle pups!!!

Today in a meager puppy nursery at a farm near Wetaskiwin, in the province of Alberta, were born to us today our first Goldendoodles. Snuggled warm in their whelping box, Mama KD and her 9 pups are doing well. Daddy Dayo is regal and relaxed issuing candy canes for everyone. Behold, there are 6 girls and 3 boys. They shall be called Mary, Joseph, Angel, Gabriel, Star, King, Beth, Joy (JJ) and Lamby.

Surrounding our puppy nursery was a host of curious pack mates wondering how things all worked out. Each will make their visits and bring their greetings to the new born pups in the next week.
