Holiday Season

On By pasatiemporanchIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

This year flew by didn’t it? I can’t believe we’ve been so busy that we haven’t posted since September! Our sweet St Berdoodle litter went home months ago and the house has been feeling empty without a puppy litter on the ground. Not too empty of course – we have lots of big pups to keep us occupied! We do still have availability for F1 Aussiedoodles who are completely vetted, trained and ready for forever homes. Reach out for more information. Must love cuddles and snacks!!

2023 will be a fun year for us and we hope to bring lots of joy to families who are hoping to add a four legged member to their home. We will be expecting a repeat breeding of Calliope Jane & Alfie which results in gorgeous and intelligent F1b standard Goldendoodles. They vary in shades of cream and apricot and parti. We also expect our first litter of F1b Sheepadoodles & Irishdoodles. It’s an exciting time for our family as we have been waiting years and years for these puppies. These pairings will be phenomenal and the pups will of course be beautiful and fluffy! The temperaments of these pairings should produce pups suitable for therapy work. We are very excited!

It’s the season for lots of extra food, family and decorations – as you celebrate be sure to keep an extra watchful eye on your pups. Table scraps aren’t always the friend to your dog that we think they are and you’ll want to be extra watchful that those pretty ornaments don’t get eaten or destroyed. We like to add a few things at a time to be sure the fluffers aren’t extra interested in redecorating our trees!

Please feel free to reach out with questions or if you’d like more information on our upcoming litters in 2023. We are always available to chat about dogs!! Xoxo

Six Week St Berdoodles

On By pasatiemporanchIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

It’s the SIX WEEK BIRTHDAY today! We are so excited to complete each puppies temperament testing today and help their future families navigate which puppy will be best suited for their home and lifestyle!

There really is no such thing as “pick of the litter” since the best “pick” will be based on the home and circumstances into which the puppy is going. In this particular litter we are personally looking for a straight top line, deep chest, and the puppy with the closest to shape of snout and head that we want to produce in our program. We find the “Pick of the Litter” puppies are often bold, outgoing, and require a good deal more training and management than most families are ready for. What we strive to find for YOUR ‘Pick of the Litter’ is a puppy with an easygoing, moderate temperament; one who will enjoy and adapt to family life with ease.

Our puppies are matched with homes and families based on their temperament as observed by *us over time.* We will evaluate the litter for temperament and potential between 1-6 weeks of age and be able to match you and the puppy based on the evaluation results *and* our observations of the puppy over time. We have years of experience and will help guide you to make the match we feel best for your family.

Enjoy your puppy picking adventure today and tomorrow! In general you’ll be looking for an unassuming, moderate and easygoing puppy – that is the one most people want to live with. Our goal is for each of our puppies to be well rounded and easy to train, travel with, manage, and adapt to your daily life!

Xoxo, Jenny & Dalton

* We will be contacting our parents in the order of our reservation form once evaluations are completed!

What Puppies Need

On By pasatiemporanchIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

We are so excited for you to choose your new puppy next weekend! Have you been keeping up with the puppies milestones and growth on our instagram? They change so much each day. We wanted to touch base with you and remind you it is never too early to start planning and purchasing must have items for your new baby!

We have compiled an Amazon list that includes our favorite things for any doodle owner.

Check out this page from Must Haves for Puppy Owners

https://www.amazon.com/shop/verychicbaby

These are things we use daily and love. Feel free to reach out with any questions regarding items and why we use them instead of another brand etc. We are always happy to share our experiences; both good and bad!

As far as the food we use we start our puppies on TLC Pet Food. It is sold exclusively online and is always delivered free. We have ours on autoship and UPS delivers each month to our doorstep! It’s so convenient. There are a plethora of reasons we feed our pregnant, nursing and puppies TLC and we are thrilled to chat with you about why we love it. Tummies get filled with a nutritious blend of concentrated meat proteins, ancient whole grains that are rich in Omegas 3&6. It’s a win win! If you decide to use a different brand of food please make sure it is NOT grain free and make the switchover slowly to avoid tummy upsets. Theres a $5 coupon off your first purchase if you use this link: https://tlcpetfood.com/nutrition/pasatiemporanch

Another item we use for our puppies everyday since before birth are NuVet supplements. All of our dogs use supplements in some shape or form. We are very pleased with how their skin and coats look as well as the way they have improved our older dogs quality of life. The best part about this brand of vitamins are that they are human grade and that is such a huge deal to us because our dogs are our life! Use our code 668809 for 15% off your order!

Lastly we want to address the subject of training. We are breeders and dog trainers and we highly recommend that you use a program of some sort from day one for your puppy. The best dog is a tired and trained dog. With proper training from the day you pick up your puppy your lives will be healthier and happier. We personally use Baxter & Bella for all our training. They offer Lifetime MEMBERS ONLY Access and membership never expires and provides you with unlimited use of everything they offer including individualized training. You can use the code PASATIEMPORANCH for 25% off membership. Check out their website and free information before you purchase to see what you think. We’ve tried a few online training companies and none have impressed us like this one!

We know this is a lot of information for a Saturday morning but we hope it will inspire you to start researching all the best ways to welcome your newest fluffy family member home! Have a great weekend and please reach out with any questions you have!

The Saints are Growing

On By pasatiemporanchIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

The St Berdoodles are growing! They started on mush yesterday which is a blend of puppy food, goats milk, water and their NuVet supplements. we are obsessed with their adorable little faces and the cute way they play hard for a few minutes then nap for hours afterwards. They are growing quickly as you can see from their updated weights!

They are now three weeks and each one will start to develop their own little personality and traits. We hope you’re following along on our instagram for a glimpse of what we get to be part of each and everyday.

We have one last spot available for a female from this litter and our picks will be at six weeks. If you have not put in your application and reservation fee please contact us today! We have a flight nanny to help assist in getting out of state pups home and if you’re local we do front door delivery at eight weeks!

Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to visit us here at Pasatiempo Ranch! Xoxo

St Berdoodle Puppies

On By pasatiemporanchIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

The puppies are here! They turned one week yesterday and they are perfect! A few of them are already weighing over two pounds! We are so excited for this litter as we’ve been planning for it for years. We do have a few available spots left for a female puppy. They will be ready to go to their new homes at the end of September.

The parents of this litter are our Saint Bernard Bernadette and our Standard Poodle Alfie. They are first generation St Berdoodles. This is Bernadette’s first litter and she is the best mom just as we expected. This is Alfies fourth litter and he has amazing pups. The puppies he has fathered in the past are simply phenomenal. They are easily trained, intelligent, athletic and loyal. We are looking forward to watching how big these babies get. We expect their personalities to be a good mixture of calm and cool.

Please reach out if you’d like to chat about our program or reserve a puppy. Our puppy picks are at 6 weeks after their evaluations.

These gorgeous puppies are currently available from our Alfie x Bindi litter. They are F1 Aussiedoodles and they are fabulous! A few things we’ve noticed about this fantastic breed so far is that they are SO FUN TO TRAIN! Seriously, Aussiedoodles are smart and very quick learners. When these babies line up for training time – which is always – they catch on to new commands super fast.

We’ve trained a lot of different breeds over the years and are amazed by the intelligence this mix have! (Maybe it’s the fact both their mom & dad are super brains)! Aussiedoodles thrive with consistent engagement and stimulation. The sky is the limit in terms of what you can teach them!

We are also engaging them daily in grooming and crate training. They have not had a potty accident in over a week. (We told you they are SMART)! They are playing with our other dogs and kittys as well as working on one on one training daily. We continue to introduce them to new sights and sounds each day; today a few went for a ride in the car and tomorrow we will repeat with the other two.

All the training and learning makes for tired puppies and they spend most their hours asleep. Babies sleep tons at this young age. We enjoy holding them sometimes while they nap so that they are ready and willing to easily transition into their new pawrents arms!

These babies are ready for their new homes and we can’t wait for you to love them! Contact us today to arrange a meeting!

What’s New?!

We have four girls looking for their furever homes. Each one is beautiful and sweet. They have had nearly a week of indoor/outdoor potty training and are doing great going outside! We are doing daily training on basic obedience commands as well. They are very treat savvy and work hard to earn those and pets! We urge you to reach out if you are searching for an Aussiedoodle puppy! They are so intelligent and loyal – and of course ADORABLE!

In other news we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our highly anticipated Bernadette & Alfie litter. This is our first F1 St Berdoodle litter and we could not be more excited! Our reservation list is filling up quickly so please do not hesitate to touch base if you’ve been waiting for one of these giant fluffy babies from us!

We recently made the switch over to a new food. Honestly we had been happy for years with our PPP food but it’s become harder and harder to secure on a regular basis and along with some formula and ingredient switches we’ve been actively pursuing a new quality food for the last year.

Trusted & Fed Premium Quality Pet Food

We are thrilled with how the pups are responding on this food. We love that the the food is manufactured here in the USA and they also ship free AND you can sign up for auto shop so you never run out! There is nothing more satisfying than not having to load those heavy bags of food into the car!

Choosing the right food to feed your new pet is crucial to their overall health and well-being and should be done with careful thought and consideration. TLC Pet Food delivers the ultimate balance of quality meats, animal fats, vitamins, and minerals, TLC provides everything your pet needs to develop into a strong, healthy, and energetic companion.

With that being said while we do use and recommend TLC you are totally free to fee the best food you and your vet decide upon. We do not recommend feeding a grain free food and if you do switch please mix the new food you choose in to your puppies diet slowly with the food they go home with as to not cause any tummy upsets.

As always we hope you have a great weekend and please touch base with us if you have any questions about our program or puppies! Xoxo

Puppy packs

Puppy bags!

I know that so many people wonder what comes with a Pasatiempo Ranch puppy? That is a great question & one we love talking about! We have been handed a puppy more than once from a “breeder” along with a snack size zip loc bag of food or maybe a sheet of notebook paper that had the puppies birthdate scribbled on it. Then there was the time we were handed a shaking and sopping wet dog and no information about food or vaccine records (because there were none). We thought – we can do better than this and we have!

Our puppies are created and loved by us first and always. We want you to receive a new family member with all of the pieces of the puppy puzzle that you need to make those first weeks easier on both you and that precious fluffy baby.

That’s why each of our puppies go home with the following items:

1) Food. We provide a container filled with food for your go home bag. This way you can slowly add in the food you are planning to use to prevent upsetting their little tummy. We are currently using the TLC brand of food for our puppies and if you decide you would like to keep your puppy on that particular brand we do provide a $5 coupon for your first order. This food is made in Canada and has European standards which are more stringent than the USA. They provide free shipping.

2) Vet Documents. Our puppies are wormed from two weeks forward. They see our vet at Animal Crossing Veterinarian Hospital in Floresville Texas at seven weeks where they receive a thorough exam and their first vaccine.

3) Our dogs receive NuVet daily supplements which your puppies have been taking since before they were born. Each of our pregnant moms receive these daily supplements during and after pregnancy. You will receive 6 days worth of vitamins with your puppy pack.

5) Flea & Tick Prevention as well as the first month of Heartworm Prevention.

4) Toys that smell like siblings. We add in a few of our fave toys to their bags. The puppies love puppy pacifiers and tennis balls and we also add in a stuffed animal and blanket that your puppies litter has played with! We also include a handmade bandana that your puppy will wear home to meet you and a potty pad especially if you are traveling with your puppy.

6) Microchip information that you can easily register as soon as you pick up your puppy. It is a free service with no hidden monthly fees. We use Fi Nano for our microchips.

7) 30 days of no obligation health insurance through Trupanion.

8) Our Contract & Health Guarantee along with a picture of your puppies litter and parents.

We are always here to help guide you through any situation that could arise. We love our puppies forever. Each one is so special to us and we are so happy to have you as part of our extended Pasatiempo Ranch family!!

Land Down Under Litter

We are so in love with this group! They are so sweet and smart. We are so lucky to have this lovely and lively lifestyle that allows us to create beautiful puppies and then to share them with fabulous families that become an extension of our own.

We visited our vet earlier this week and our puppies each received their first vaccines. The puppies were so good there and enjoyed the attention they received from other patients and the staff.

The puppies are doing so good with pottying in their trays. We’ve got a lot of fun things going on for them as we are working hard to help their little minds stay busy and growing while allowing them enough sleep and rest to continue growing.

If you would like to chat about a puppy from this litter please reach out! 210-420-9486

We would love for you to be part of the Pasatiempo Ranch family! Xoxo
