Posie's and Clark's F1 Standard Goldendoodles Born on July 4, 2025
August 3/25 4 week update.
Posie is an excellent mama, and her pups are doing very well. They are toddling out of the whelping box to toilet on wood chips and starting to eat soft puppy food. Posie had a couple of smaller pups that were not getting enough milk at the milk bar. After their first week, we moved the two biggest pups from Posie to Goldie’s litter, since Goldie had a bigger milk supply and seemingly much richer milk, as her pups were rolle-pollies. In the dog world, mama dogs will naturally adopt new puppies into their litter, and I have never had an issue doing this. Goldie has been raising the two extra as her own, and the two smaller girls in Posie's litter are thriving well.
Posie’s and Clark’s pups range in size quite a bit at this time, but we will see how that changes now that they are starting on soft kibble. We are looking forward to seeing how their personalities develop in the coming weeks.
This litter will have their puppy evaluation on Tuesday, August 26th, and their vet appointment is on August 27th. Choosing for this litter will start on Friday, August 29th, and they can start going home that day as well.
If you are interested in either the Posie/Clark or Goldie/Bo litter, please contact me or submit your application, and I will call you back!
All of my pups are $3000 including GST. See my Sales Agreement for more details.

Posie's and Clark's had 8 F1 Standard Goldendoodles born on July 4, 2025
Posie went into labour and had her pups on her due date! It was a very eventful day, with clients coming to select their pup from another litter. Four hours after her water broke, she had her first pup, just as the last clients were choosing! Posie was uncertain at first and needed some paw holding. Some first-time mums need a little help, but generally, after three pups, they get the hang of it, and she was solid after that. She has settled into being a very nurturing, calm and collected mama. It is beautiful to watch.
There are four girls and four boys in this F1 standard litter. I expect that the majority of these pups will mature to 50-65 lbs. There is a good variety of colours from apricots to cream. (Posie’s father is an English Cream Golden Retriever, hence the cream pups.) With F1s, they can vary from non-shedding to moderate shedding, or heavier shedding for a coat that is short and coarse. We will know more about their coats when it's time to choose your pup. (They all have some waves in their coat at this time, which is a sign that they will be lower-shedding. (FYI, many people with allergies have been able to tolerate F1 pups well. We would typically choose the waviest of the bunch, but sometimes the straight ones work too. It depends on the allergy. The best way to find out for most people is to do our bath test (see FAQ).)
This litter’s vet appointment is August 27, their puppy evaluations will likely be August 25/26th. The choosing for this litter will start on Thursday, August 28th, and take-home can start on Friday, August 29th.
The theme for this litter is Canadian/US shared names for different cities.
The boys: Abbotsford, BC/WI; Burlington, ON/VT; Kingston, ON/TX; Windsor, ON/CT. The girls: Cambridge, ON/MA; London, ON/OH; Montreal, QU/MO; Victoria, BC/TX.
We are accepting deposits on this litter and Goldie’s/Bo’s litter. (Choosing for both litters will happen simultaneously.)
