Dean's and Sonia's Hearty K9s - Today's Pups and News

Skittles' pups are ready to go home now!!
February 7

Skittles' and Horton's pups are doing great and growing beautifully! There are quite a range of sizes left and great non-shedding type coats. In general this litter is not boisterous, but more on the gentle, quieter side. That may change once they get to their new homes and find out what they're made of away from their siblings :) ...but in general they're a wonderful litter.

Please contact us if you're interested in one of these pups.

BaaBaa is a lighter apricot boy. He has a little spunk to him to make up for his smaller size. I believe he'll grow to be around the 35 lb mark, and will likely have a non-shedding type of coat.

Brae is a lighter apricot boy and is a little bit of a shy guy until he gets to know you. He is a good snuggler. Brae will need a little bit of patience when he gets to his new home, and will blossom with the encouragement. He too has a non-shedding type of coat, and will grow to be around 40-45 lbs.

Chirp is a fun-loving, little, light apricot girl who is such a little sweetheart. She has a non-shedding type of coat and will likely grow to be 35 lbs or so.

Squeak is a goofy sort of pup. He seems thoughtful and reserved at first... but is really waiting for the right opportunity to show off his true colours. He has a nice, darker apricot, non-shedding type of coat, and will likely grow to be around 50 lbs.

Whinny has a darker apricot, not as curly, type of coat... and may shed minimally. She has a soft personality that is blooming and is just a real sweetie. I believe she'll grow to be around 40 lbs or so.

Woofer is a spunky little character with a curly, medium apricot coloured, curly coat.. He has a lot of character and is a good cuddler. Woofer will likely not shed and will grow to be 30-35 lbs or so.

Yankee's 9 pups born on February 1st
February 6

Yankee's and Brixx's 9 beautiful pups were born on February 1st, 2012! After a very long labour I was delighted to finally see her first pup arrive just after midnight. There are 8 boys and one girl.

The naming theme for this litter is computer terms; Apple, Microsoft, Blog, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Android, WiFi and lastly the girl, iPup!

These pups have all been spoken for. They'll be ready to go to their new homes on March 28th. The next litter of standard size F1 goldendoodles will be from Autumn and Dayo, who are not yet bred, so we wait...

Beth's pups are ready to go!
January 26

If you're interested in one of these pups, please contact us.

Coal is a jolly happy soul. He will not be as curly as his siblings, and may end up with a shaggy or lose-curled coat. I expect him to likely be a minimal shedder. Coal is very keen and loves to play... and then snuggles in for a good cuddle on the couch. He'll likely grow to around 40 lbs.

Soul is a sweet, athletic girl. She has a great soft curly coat and will likely be a minimal to non-shedder. Soul is a playful girl, and loves her snuggles too. My guess adult weight for her is around 30lbs. -- ADOPTED

Magic is a soulful, easy going character. He has a soft side to him and although he is playful, he is a bit quieter and enjoys his snuggles. He has quite a curly coat, and will likely not shed as an adult. Adult guess weight for him is 35-40 lbs. -- ADOPTED

Brio's Maxine ~~is available~~ and ready to go!
January 26

Maxine is a sweetheart who is progressing towards coming out of her shyness. We've been working with her, and she's learning to be more bold, much more quickly. She's generally easy-going and a good cuddler. My guess weight for her is 30 lbs. -- ADOPTED

please note!: Their guess weights are just that, a guess! I've noticed that the pups that remain have evened out a lot more now that there is not as much competition with all their siblings. I do so appreciate when folks keep in touch and let me know how close I was in my estimates.

Skittles' and Horton's pups at 4 weeks old
January 11

Hard to believe a month has already passed by since these little munchkins were born. They're a very nice, easy-going bunch at this time, but we'll see what the next few weeks hold as they develop their personalities. The pups are growing nicely and there's a large variety of coats and sizes.

My guess right now is that they'll likely range from 25-60 lbs. MooMoo is the biggest and Snort is the smallest. Chirp is much curlier than her sister Whinny, but both are bigger girls... at this point.

The pups will be ready to go to their new homes on February 8th (at 8 weeks old). Folks with deposits will start to choose which pup they want from this litter after January 25th. We have room for more deposits on this litter.

If you're interested in one of these pups, please contact us.

Beth's pups at 8 weeks old
December 28

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday and all the best for 2012!! We're back from our Christmas family celebrations and look forward to seeing what the New Year will hold.

We do have pups available from Beth's and Brio's litters. Now that it's after Christmas and we'll soon get back to normal routines, we look forward to hearing from folks who are interested in these mini/medium sized F1 goldendoodles.

Coal is a nice, quiet, lower energy boy. He's inquisitive and enjoys exploring in the snow mounts outside. My adult guess weight for him is 35 lbs.

Soul is a sweet little girl. She is very middle of the road, a great little personality, and not dominant or shy. My guess weight for her is 20-25 lbs as an adult. -- ADOPTED

Magic is the smallest boy with a nice broad face and fun personality. He's very personable and likes to be with people. My guess adult weight for Magic is 25 lbs. -- ADOPTED

Jolly is a sweet, playful, and very smart girl. She has shown some dominant tendencies when boundaries are not clear to her. With good, consistent, training this girl will go places. She's very intuitive and is a thinker. My guess weight for her is 25-30 lbs. -- ADOPTED

Piper is the biggest boy. He plays very well on his own, but is also interactive when playing one on one. He may grow to be 50 lbs, which is how big the biggest boy from Beth's/Kodiak's last litter became! -- ADOPTED

Brio's pups at 7.5 weeks
December 28

Maxine is the lightest coloured girl in her litter. She has a sweet, playful personality. Her adult weight may be around 25 lbs. -- ADOPTED

Nancy is a social butterfly. She loves to play and be with people. Her adult guess weight is about 25 lbs. -- ADOPTED

Gwen is the smallest girl we have available and may not quite make the 20 lb mark. She has a sweet and spunky personality, with the biggest expressive eyes... ADOPTED

Mavis is the straightest-coated pup left in her litter. She is a real nice, easy, puppy and is a gentle soul. Her adult weight... 30 lbs? -- ADOPTED

Yuma is the big boy left in Brio's litter. A soft personality, and a bit shy, he's coming out of his shell. My guess weight for him is 40ish lbs. -- ADOPTED

Please contact us if you're interested in a pup from one of these litters!

Skittles and Horton had 9 pups 4 days early on December 14!
December 17

After their morning run with the quad I didn't think Skittles would have her pups any time soon. She kept up very well considering the size of her tummy... but low and behold, she picked a lowly old dog house full of straw to have her pups on a nice warm winter's day.

Considering this was her first litter, Skittles did extremely well. Horton was still with her in the same outside run, and he was obviously very concerned for her. He actually insisted on seeing Skittles the next day in the nursery, to make sure all was well. I have not seen this before... Horton is quite the papa and congenial stud!!

Considering where this litter was born, and how I could hear them before I saw them, the theme for this litter is "Possible noises that were heard in the stable that first Christmas!"There are 7 boys, their names are: Russel, Moo, Squeak, Brae, Snort, Baa Baa, and Woof
The 2 girls are: Chirp and Whinny.

These pups are various shades of apricot F1B goldendoodles. My guess is they'll range from 30-65 lbs. The pups will be ready to go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age, which takes us to February 8th!

I am now taking more deposits on this litter, contact us if you're interested.

Beth's big (as in 13), bouncy, beautiful litter at 4 weeks
December 3

Beth and all of her 13 pups are growing and doing very well. They're a sweet bunch of pups that are a joy to snuggle with. It's fun to see their personalities just budding.

There are a large variety of pup sizes in this litter and they'll likely range from 20-50 lbs. The biggest boy from Beth's/Kodiak's litter from last year grew to be 50lbs! and I believe there are a couple of boys with potential this year too!

I'm still taking deposits on this litter. The folks with deposits will start choosing which pup they'll take starting the December 17 weekend. The pups will be ready to go to their new homes on December 29.

Please contact me if you're interested in a pup from Beth's or Brio's litters.

Brio's lovely pups at 4 weeks old
December 3

Brio's and Ryder's pups are doing great! What a cute bunch of pups!! Some of these will be smaller than Beth's, as Brio and Ryder are slightly smaller dogs than Beth and Kodiak. They should range from 20- 40 lbs.

These lovely pups will be ready to go home on January 1, 2012 -- bringing in the New Year!!

If you're interested in a mini/medium F1 goldendoodle, please contact us. We're taking more deposits on both Beth's and Brio's litters.
