We can't always predict accurately when a litter is due. Dogs' cycles are not always like clock work, so these dates are assuming that they will continue to cycle 6 months from their last cycle.

Gestation is normally 9 weeks and we keep the pups here 8 weeks before we release them to their new homes. That makes a little over 4 months from conception to going home. We take 5 deposits only per litter before they're born since litters can vary so much in size.

We think out pairings carefully. They're determined by complementing characteristics and the timing of the girls' cycles, amongst many other varying factors. Planned pairings are subject to change.

See our Choosing Process in the FAQ to see how our adoption process works.

Most times I can have a pup within 6 months for a family -- sometimes much sooner, and sometimes a while longer.

So come join the party of my followers and prepare with the required reading while you wait!! :)

If you want to be on the wait list, please read through my website and submit your application.

A Response to Changing Times for Tomorrow's pups
June 14, 2024

I choose to breed when I have deposits with committed demand for a certain size in F1 or F1B qualities. Although sometimes litters can be larger, and I would have more than I have deposits for, you can still hop further down the waitlist once pups arrive.

See how our adoption process works on FAQ.

Once you know you want a Hearty K9, and know the approximate timeline that works for you, please submit your application and I'll breed accordingly.

We're committed to our high quality standards and have developed our puppy program over the last 20 years which breeds puppies who flourish and have amazing potentials.

Bred litters

Basil had a pseudo-pregnancy for her fall 2024 litter. At one point, she had a tummy and milk, but there were no pups. We will try again for spring 2025 maybe for some beautifully tempered reds with Fred.

Reena and Derby for F1 mini/medium Goldendoodles. (She is in season at the time of this post, and plan to breed her this week). They would be due last week in Sept. For F1 mini Goldendoodles, they will go home the second last week in November if all goes as planned. This litter is quite popular, and I have 5 deposits for this litter already. If you are interested in going on the waitlist for this litter, please get in touch with me. (Once the pups are born, I will accept more deposits once I know how many pups she has, but I will contact people in order of when I receive their application.)

Planned and potential upcoming litters depending on demand.
