Future Puppy Litters
If you haven’t noticed there are an increase in breeders, increase in puppy supply, and a flatline or decline in people purchasing puppies right now. The last thing I want to do is raise puppies that will have a hard time finding a home, so we are skipping about 50% of our female’s heats. This means in 2023 we will have half the puppies we had in 2022, if not less. Many potential litters will not be posted on our website to reserve early, and I will be making last minute decisions. If they are posted on the website, then the breeding will happen.
This means get on our lists as early as possible because we will have such a decrease in puppies next year, and if you see one pop up as available, you may want to take advantage because it could be months before we have more.
Pricing
Unfortunately with less litters, pricing will remain “above average” compared to your typical breeder. I finally just finished our 2021 Taxes, and our yearly expenses were over $200,000. It is not cheap to get the best bloodlines and raise the puppies in the way we do. Food costs are up and Veterinarian prices have increased significantly, so I expect our 2023 puppies to be $4000-$4500 each. For this price though, you are getting the best puppy ever and supporting my family being able to stay home and spend all day giving these puppies the life they deserve.
What is the Current Availability?
We have our 3 mini/ petite goldendoodle moms going in for Xrays this Wednesday to count puppies. I believe Gemma will have a couple available puppies, but that is it.
Pepper and Ollie are breeding next week for a mini Goldendoodle/ Australian Labradoodle cross.
We are waiting for Heidi and Zoey to go in heat any day.
These are really the only planned litters for the next 6 months. Most of these litters are 75% reserved as of today.

Communication
Speaking of which, email is the only way to get a guaranteed answer. I get so many messages through IG, FB, text, etc. that many get overlooked. Email is the best form of communication, and I try to have them all answered within 4 Business Days.

If you ever see anyone looking for animals for their farm, please send them our way! I have a problem accumulating too many animals, plus they keep having babies, so I need to find some a new home!
