Hopefully this is what we'll be looking at in about 9 weeks, + or - a day or two.

We'll keep you posted here!

Libby (Hearthside's Lady Liberty) is due to deliver baby Doodles

Doodles On The Way!!!!

 These are six-week old baby Doodles, a low-shed or no-shed

cross between Mick (Hearthside's McDreamy) and Libby (Hearthside's Lady Liberty)

Aren't they adorable???

Libby is showing signs of real, true-life pregnancy, not that false pregnancy stuff dogs like to do.


Expected date of arrival:   May 6-9th.


Puppies will be available:  June 20th or thereabouts, once they've been vet-checked. 


We'll keep everyone posted as things progress.


Maddie is showing early signs of going into heat... Right on schedule. We'll keep you updated here (if you don't think it's TOO WEIRD to be checking on a dog's love life...) and let you know what happens.


Well.


You can most likely figure out WHAT HAPPENS, but we'll let you know if it happens SUCCESSFULLY. Okay???

Spring update 2011!!!!!

This is Maddie.

When she was a baby, of course!

That's Seth and Lacey in the background.

And this is Maddie when she graduated from good puppy class:

We're so proud!  :)

And let me just add Maddie NEEDED a good puppy class, so be fore-warned.

Puppies are.... well.... Puppies.

And this is Maddie now:

 And this:

She's gorgeous. Maddy should be coming into season soon.

We're hoping for an early summer litter. We'll keep everyone

apprised via this blogsite/website.

And might I just say:

I'm so glad it's spring! Even with the mud. 

And this is "MICK":  "Hearthside's McDreamy"

When he was a baby. Look at that face. That stance.
We went to Minnesota to get Mick and he was worth
every dollar spent and every minute it took.
And here is "Mick" today:

Isn't he just gorgeous?
We love him.
And we think Mick's been stepping out on Maddie with:


Yes, you guessed it:


Libby. The Poodle. Here is Libby:

Chocolate brown standard poodle. Great temperament.
Wonderful dog. Sweet as can be. We think there might be 
little "DOODLES" on the way, due around mid-May.


Doodles are adorable dogs, with the hybrid vigor that marks
a good cross. No-shed or Low-shed, our Doodle puppies
look like.... well..... THIS:

When they're puppies.


And they look like THIS:

(this is "Rufus", isn't he gorgeous?)


Or THIS:

"Arley Doodles" has a poodle cut and her hair is more tightly curled than Rufus's but not as curly as Libby's.

And this is "Yogi Berra". Yes, they're Yankee lovers!
And yes, he looks like a big ol' bear.
Yogi was our FIRST "Doodle" sale.
And he loves his home and his family outside of Syracuse.

Thank you and God bless you!

Wishing you a lovely and holy holiday season!

The entire Blodgett family is wishing all of our friends, visitors, customers and (of course!!!) our puppies a healthy, happy and holy holiday season.

If we've done our job well this fall, we will not have puppies until spring/summer of 2010. Maddie, Libby and Sadie are taking a well-deserved winter break...

SO AM I!

Puppy owners, remember:  Crates are your very best friend while raising a rambunctious Golden Retriever puppy. Do not feel guilty about claiming time for yourself, and remember, it's always a good idea to read up on the breed...

Any good Golden Retriever book will reassure you that yes, your puppy is naughty, but will outgrow it and yes, it is a-okay for the pup to be in his or her crate a majority of the time.  Remember:  You're the boss, the head honcho, the pack leader.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone about how they're doing!
