We are so excited to watch each of these puppies’ personalities unfold and to begin matching them with their perfect families at six weeks of age. This litter is expected to have beautiful curly or wavy coats, with black noses and rich, dark eyes. When fully grown, we anticipate they will mature around 55–60 pounds. These puppies will be loyal, affectionate companions with non-shedding coats and wonderful, stable temperaments.
We are thrilled to announce that Winnie & Swayze’s sweet litter of cream & apricot Goldendoodles arrived on January 21, 2026!
This beautiful litter includes 8 precious puppies — 4 girls and 4 boys — all healthy, fluffy, and already full of charm.

As a dog owner or soon-to-be puppy parent, ensuring your home is a safe haven for your furry friend is crucial. Dogs and puppies are naturally curious, and their instinct to explore can sometimes lead to accidents. In this blog post, we’ll cover essential safety tips to protect your canine companion and provide a happy, healthy environment for them to thrive.
I. Household Hazards
Toxic substances: Secure toxic substances like cleaning supplies, medications, and chemicals out of reach. Keep them in high cabinets or locked containers.
Electrical cords: Keep electrical cords and wires organized and out of reach to prevent chewing and electrical shock.
Hot surfaces: Keep your dog away from hot surfaces like stovetops, ovens, and fireplaces.
II. Puppy-Proofing
Secure furniture: Anchor heavy furniture and appliances to walls to prevent tipping.
Block off rooms: Block off rooms you don’t want your puppy to access, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms.
Protect flooring: Use baby gates or pet gates to protect flooring from accidents and chewing.
III. Outdoor Safety
Fencing: Ensure your yard is securely fenced to prevent escape and protect your dog from external hazards.
Toxic plants: Identify and remove toxic plants from your yard, such as oleander, sago palm, and lily plants.
Weather safety: Provide shade and shelter for your dog during extreme weather conditions, such as heatwaves or thunderstorms.
IV. Health and Hygiene
Vaccinations: Stay up-to-date on your dog’s vaccinations to protect them from diseases.
Parasite control: Regularly check for and prevent parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
Cleanliness: Regularly clean food and water bowls, and disinfect surfaces to prevent the spread of bacteria. We use stainless steel water and food bowls and wash them after each meal. We also use puzzles bowls to feed certain pups which are also soaked in soapy water and rinsed after each use.
V. Emergency Preparedness
Create a pet emergency kit: Assemble a kit with essentials like food, water, medication, and a first-aid kit.
Identify emergency veterinary clinics: Keep a list of nearby emergency veterinary clinics and their contact information.
Microchip your dog: Microchip your dog to ensure they can be identified and returned if they ever become lost. All puppies from Pasatiempo Ranch go home microchipped.
By following these safety tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a safe and happy home for your furry friend. Remember, safety is an ongoing process, and staying vigilant will help prevent accidents and ensure your dog lives a long, healthy life. Xoxo
Milestones. A huge part of the first few weeks are holding our breath and crossing our paws that everything goes as planned. I wouldn’t be being honest if I didn’t say that I sometimes weigh a puppy ten times a day to check for every ounce of gain. We watch them as they breathe and of course we watch each moment to make sure they aren’t just snuggled up with mama but latched on and eating as well. Of course we watch to make sure no puppy is stuck under mama or even that the pup needs a wipe down where Mama pup missed a spot.
Multigenerational Goldendoodles Two weeksF1b Aussiedoodles One Week
For at least the first three weeks of life we stay with our puppies 24/7. We work in shifts and we take this part of the process extremely seriously. Mom dogs eat constantly and it is our responsibility to make sure they are getting enough calories per day as well as ample amounts of water and lots of pets and attention to their health and well being.
We are thrilled with the progression of growth for our current litters. Our Multi generational Goldendoodles are thriving! They are starting to open their eyes and they are beginning to pull their bodies up and balance as they learn to walk. Our daily ENS protocol is going well and they are surprising us each day with their overall calmness and ability to fall asleep in our arms within seconds.
Our current F1b Aussiedoodle litter is just darling. The boys are of course giant and the girls are a tad more dainty. In fact a couple of our girls are on the tiny side in this litter and they are receiving supplemental feedings as well as nursing from our Goldendoodle Mama Winnie. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to hand a puppy from another litter over to a pup with a surplus of milk and love to give!
As always if you have questions or would like your name added to this master list for a Pasatiempo Ranch pup of your own! Xoxo
We love the learning and educating others aspect of dogs and raising them. The ins and outs and the ups and downs of everyday life as well as just creating a better dog. Oftentimes we hear specific breeding terms thrown out with no explanation so we wanted to take a bit of time to explain what we are talking about when you hear this term.
Each day we perform ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) exercises during this early developmental phase from days 3-16. The benefits we’ve found while raising our litters over the years include:
*Introduces puppies to mild stresses in a controlled way.
*Improves stress responses in later life.
*Stimulates the neurological system.
*Improves puppies’ growth, immune and cardiovascular systems.
*It helps puppies with their nose awareness and confidence. It enhances their ability to identify and react to scents.
Studies show that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results and we are confident this approach makes for better puppies!
Day 7
We absolutely notice a difference in puppies raised on a program like ours compared to a pup we bring in from an outside program that may not have had the same early interventions. When we first began our journey raising puppies we knew most importantly we wanted to create heart healers and if we also produced service or therapy pups along the way it would just be an added bonus.
We are proud to really know our pups and since we interact with them daily from birth we know their strengths and weaknesses. There’s much to learn about pups by just observing them daily. We’ve been doing this for a bit and feel we are skilled at reading dog body language and watching their behaviors.
Our goal has always been to send home a well adjusted, intelligent and healthy puppy to families where they are forever loved and doted on. We have been fortunate to send home puppies throughout the years that we believe are successful due to the early intervention they receive here at Pasatiempo Ranch along with the amazing and diligent training and love they receive from you when they go to their furever houses.
If you have any questions about Early Neurological Stimulation or Early Scent Introduction please ask us! If you are on your own journey of raising better puppies we encourage you to find a curriculum (or a few) that you can learn from and help to build your own program! Xoxo
We wanted to take a little space on our blog to educate you on doodles and misconceptions that come along with the wavy vs curly battle. Our current available litter is a multigenerational Goldendoodle. Our Mama Winnie was born here and is a second generation Goldendoodle. She has a beautiful wavy coat that requires weekly brushing but she does not ever shed.
Most people think that the generation of their doodle and the coat their pup will have are linked. Many people are looking for F1’s because they want a wavy look or F1b because they want curly coats. The truth is we have owned and been breeding doodles enough to help guide you to the coat you’re wanting regardless of the generation. We have dogs from the same litters who share the same parents yet have completely different coat types.
Technology is so advanced we can produce wavy or curly coats in multigens and they still remain non or less shedding than your average dog. Scientists have discovered the gene for shedding is not curl – it’s actually based on coat length and furnishings. We focus on pairs that will produce those genetics.
Our task is to pair you to the litter or pup that will produce the coat you are looking for. We are here to share our knowledge and help to match you to a lifelong floofy companion – please know that we are happy to answer any questions you have regarding our dogs and puppies! Xoxo
We are so happy to announce our beautiful Winnie x Swayze litter of Multigenerational Goldendoodles. Winnie was born here at Pasatiempo Ranch to our foundation dogs Calliope Jane and Alfie. This pairing has been years in the making and we are BEYOND thrilled with these precious little floofs that are sure to make our Christmas 2023 unforgettable!
One day old
We have three sweet little boys and one princess. We do have availability in this litter so please reach out with a text or fill out an application and we will happily explain to you how our program works and we of course love to FaceTime with our prospective families so you can “meet” us and the puppies. All of our dogs live here at our home so you can see both parents and puppy grandparents. We are so thrilled to share our dog and puppy knowledge with you even if you just have questions regarding a future litter if now is not the right time for you to add a puppy!
Winnie & Swayze
Winnie & Swayze have been best friends since the day we brought Swayze into our home. He is an adorably sweet boy who never barks and loves to cuddle up with pillows and kittycats. He doesn’t have a bad bone in his body – we are always in awe of his pure goodness. Swayze baby can oftentimes be found following Winnie’s Dad Alfie around and copying whatever he is doing at the time. It’s very cute. Winnie is an amazing girl who is quite similar to her Mom. She absolutely adores being groomed which is something we do lots of since we keep her in a longer cut. Surprisingly enough her ears and tail are not genetically pink – we keep those brightly colored and she loves the extra attention she gets from them. She loves to go to the mall and she also has never turned down a trip to Starbucks for a pupcup. She is also an amazing emotional support companion for our family.
We look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in more information. If you’re just here to see cute puppies and dogs please follow along. We appreciate you and your support! Xoxo
We have the cutest little girls for you! Our sweet group of girls are doing amazing with potty training and learning basic commands. They love to cuddle and they love toys and comfy blankets and beds! Each has their own personality that would be compatible with different types of situations; let’s chat and figure out who is best suited for your home!
We are excited for you to meet our girls – please reach out so we can introduce them to you! These girls just turned eight weeks and have received their first set of vaccines from our veterinarian, they are microchipped and go home with a month of health insurance and a health guarantee. Xoxo

Our Highwaymen Litter of six Goldendoodles are seven weeks and saw our veterinarian today for their first set of shots! Everyone had a clean bill of health and omgooodness y’all – they were so good and well behaved like our puppies always are! They slept the entire ride there and back! We are so proud of them!
These babies will start going to their furever homes this weekend and we do have availability. We really want our puppies to go home to amazing doodle homes – reach out because we want to place our puppies with the best families and we are always happy so work with you to make that happen! If you are not in Texas or local to us we have a plan for that as well!
Our puppies are using grass turf for pottying and sleeping through the night. Crate training has also already begun. They are used to being handled regularly, bathed, brushed and blow dried and used to having their nails clipped. we do car rides and lots of introductions to noises, people and objects so our puppies are developmentally ready to move to their next phase of their lives.
We look forward to helping you choose your next furry family member! Xoxo
