Happy last day of June 2022! Half of this year is already over and what better way to reward yourself than by adding a new puppy to your family! 🥰
We are loving this sweet litter of F1 Aussiedoodles. It has been the most amazing experience witnessing the growth and beauty of these sweethearts. We are so ridiculously lucky to live this good life. There are still a few puppies available in this litter and they are SMART!
These puppies are already sitting on command and learning how to stay and everyone is using their puppy grass pad for potty time. We are so proud of them.
If you are interested in one of these puppies please let us know so we can chat with you about their temperament testing and see who matches up with your family and lifestyle! Xoxo
Bindi is a great Mama – she’s still so attentive to her puppies and insists on cleaning them multiple times a day. She also is great at gently correcting them when they play too rough with each other or try to get into things she doesn’t approve of. This is why that 6/8 week mark is so crucial for puppies to stay with their moms and litter mates! We are so proud of her!

The puppies are doing amazing at potty learning and this week they will begin getting a small amount of playtime in the puppy yard outdoors. for now their favorite thing to do is play in our big puppy room and at our feet in the kitchen. They love to play hard and then fall asleep on the cold tile under our kitchen table. We are working hard on getting the puppies to come when called “puppy puppy puppy” and they are also doing amazing at a sit command! Yay puppies! Happy six week birthday!
We do still have availability in this litter – these puppies are quick learners and their fluff is really starting to pop – they are precious bundles of cuteness – you cannot go wrong with an Aussiedoodle as a family pup!
Y’all! Can you believe the babies are one month old already? Look at how big they are getting! They are eating mush twice per day and getting lots and lots of play time and of course much needed sleep and rest. When they aren’t eating, playing, or sleeping these babies are being cuddled and snuggled by us! It’s truly such a sweet life to have these amazing babies by our side even if it’s only for a short time before they transition to their forever homes and families!
Please don’t forget to follow us on instagram for daily updates. We love sharing videos and pictures with y’all! We will do puppy picks in two weeks in the order that your reservation was made so please do not wait!
Happy June y’all! The puppies tried mush for the first time yesterday – tomorrow they turn four weeks and introducing food is just one of the next steps to getting them ready for their next stage. Mush consists of dry puppy food blended into a mushy liquid form with water and canned pumpkin. The puppies love it and their Mama loves finishing up what they have leftover!
As the puppies get older they continue to sleep most every hour of the day but they have moments of wakefulness where they play and wrestle together and RUN! They are starting to explore the puppy room too – they climb and crawl under surfaces and find little hiding spots. All that action calls for many naps! In the coming days we will slowly introduce a bigger play area with toys – we move fairly slowly in the coming weeks as to not overwhelm the babies as there is no rush and we want them to take their time to develop properly!

June has been a very hot month already with temps around 105 each day so we are still limiting outdoor time for the rest of our pack. When we introduce the newest litter to the outdoors it will be at sunup and sundown. They have taken well to their inside grass – potty learning is an important part of life here – our hope is always that our commitment to starting potty training so early will help them transition quickly in their next home.
Our Riverdale litter will turn one on the 3rd of July and we are so excited for a wonderful first year. We love watching them grow up and we adore seeing pictures of them and hearing stories about the pups!

Sending lots of love your way for an exciting and eventful summer! Xoxo
June already! It definitely feels like summer here in Texas! Each day we wake up early and go out to play in the pools and sprinklers. After a little dry off (shake it off) the pups have breakfast. Then a long nap that’s followed by training and grooming – lots of cuddles and pets and maybe a nice movie that will catch a certain pup (or more) interest. By then it’s time for more outdoor play which always includes water during the hottest season of the year. After dinner we settle in for the night and typically split who hangs out where depending on what each family member is into that evening. Our dogs are raised completely underfoot and in our home and hearts. We use crate training for our babies before they go to their new homes but the dogs that live in our home do not utilize crates once they are older. It’s what works for our family but we do highly recommend crate training for pups.
On the subject of crates we do believe that creating a safe space for your best friend is a great way to raise your floofy friend. When Calliope was young each night she would go to our door and wait to be let in and then go straight into her crate for the night. A little personal den is the perfect place for your puppy to get the rest and relaxation time they need. Just keep in mind a crate is not a place to “store” your puppy or a place to send them to when they’ve misbehaved. You want your puppies crate to be a positive area! There is an entire section devoted to crate training that is offered in the training program Baxter & Bella which we highly recommend to all our puppy parents. You can use code PASATIEMPORANCH for 25% off the lifetime membership.
Young Calliope when she needed that nightly reprieve and would wait each evening to sleep in her crate!
We hope your month will be fabulous! We plan to post lots of updates and pictures so please be sure to check back often! Xoxo
Our Aussiedoodle litter turned two weeks old yesterday! Already! Time flies when you are on puppy and mama watch 24/7 working in shifts. The puppies are each starting to open their eyes. They are also really on the move – we’ve already had to add the gate to block them from climbing out of their whelping box. By the end of this week we will introduce them to a potty tray. And then it will be time for puppy mush!
We’ve named this litter “The Land Down Under” in honor of their Australian Shepard Mama and famous people from Australia. This week we will posting individual pictures to help you to start getting to know your new puppy! We do still have availability in this litter so please contact us if you’d like to reserve one of these gorgeous bebes!
“The Land Down Under” * Two weeks*
In other news we have a handful of other girls in heat right now! It’s a very busy time at Pasatiempo Ranch and this summer will be filled with plenty of puppy snuggles and lots of cleanup. lol We are skipping a handful of breedings for a few girls this year who are not quite ready for motherhood but who will get plenty of supervised puppy play and interaction once the litters are big enough to interact with their “aunts and uncles”. It’s important for us and our reproductive vet to evaluate our dogs and be sure they are not only mature enough physically but also psychologically not only to ensure the best start for their puppies but also to protect the well being of our future mamas. Also since we are a small family breeder we want to limit the amount of puppies we have on the ground at any time so we can be sure to give each mama and litter the full attention they deserve!
Our Riverdale litter from July 2021 are almost a year old and we love seeing their sweet faces on social media and in updates thru texts and emails. We are always appreciative of our puppy families who stay in touch.

We spend a lot of time on grooming and highly recommend a good summer cut for the hot months ahead. Our dogs are happier and cooler with a great and easy cut – it allows them to play in the water and be easy and breezy without tons of upcoming grooming headaches. We like to keep the body at a reasonable length and the head on the shaggy side. The more playful the pup the shorter the cut!

Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day weekend! Xoxo, Jenny & Dalton
