This beautiful litter of F1b Goldendoodles has arrived! We have six precious little teddybears. We are taking reservations for this litter now. Calliope Jane is doing amazing with them and had a very easy delivery assisted by her human family and a side of moral support from her pink eared daughter Winnie.
Welcome to the world little puppies! You are so loved ❤️ Xoxo
Happy February y’all! We are excited to have such a busy month planned here at Pasatiempo Ranch. We have two litters due this month and a third planned for 2023! we are expecting a repeat litter of F1b Goldendoodles from Calliope Jane & Alfie in one week as well as our first litter from Penelope x Alfie of F1b Irishdoodles! We are so over the moon about the litter patter of the little paws this spring!
We are also excited to announce a litter of F1 St Berdoodles that will be going home in mid June. We have begun a waitlist for this breeding so please contact us to be added if you are looking for a cuddly bear on your home! These puppies will grow to be 80+ pounds. They are so smart and goofy – their personalities will keep you laughing all day!
We hope your early 2023 weather hasn’t been too much of a challenge. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about adding a puppy to your household! Xoxo
Can you believe we are almost through the first month of 2023?! It’s 4:30 am and I’m writing a quick blogpost because I want to share some of the things we are doing currently in our home and as part of our program that are improving both our lives and the lives of our pets!
We have been extremely lucky this month with our weather which has allowed for a lot of outdoor playtime and training sessions. Personally I (Jenny) prefer quiet indoor sessions with the pups – typically individually but I do recognize that outside distractions are important while training also. We like to do daily training with the pack and each of us do things a bit differently which is good for working a dogs brain because change is tiring and a tired dog is a good dog. Because we have such a plethora of different personalities we do like to mix and match pups so that they learn to work in favor of their differences versus against them. For instance Bernadette our Saint is very good with commands because she is extremely treat and food motivated. I like to pair training with her with one of our more rambunctious (younger) doodles because peer pressure is where it’s at and once they see her get a consistent reward they will copy her technique so that they also get that reward.
When people say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks that just simply isn’t true. Our oldest pup in the pack is always ready to learn and he has recently begun some new things like running on a leash – he has never cared for exercise but we think the other pups have motivated him to get up and get going – much like humans do in support style gyms. Again – we find peer pressure is really amazing for dogs.
This also works for things like grooming . Winnie is one of our goldendoodles who absolutely loves to be brushed and groomed. She would sit all day and let you comb and brush her out. By having a few others in the grooming area with her who are either very young or who don’t think grooming is a treat they see her and want to emulate her good behavior because they realize there are really high value treats to sitting on the grooming table for an extended period. High value here means licking peanut butter off a wooden spatula or fresh chicken bites that they wouldn’t ordinarily have.
If you have one dog who isn’t too motivated to do new things maybe we can help you with that?! There is always value in a friend for your pup and it might be a good time to add to your pack? We are expecting two litters for Valentine’s Day and these puppies will be spectacular little teddy bears. If you do not currently have a dog or you’ve never had one reach out to us and let us walk you through he steps of being a dog owner. There’s never been a better time to have a four legged friend! There are so many dog friendly stores and restaurants and dogs are the greatest motivator to get out and take walks and enjoy the sunshine and even rain. So many of our pawrents have made new human friends at the park and at pet establishments these past few years – common interests of the love of an animal is a great way to meet others. Plus we don’t want to leave out the most important part of a pup – all the snuggles and a non judgmental pal!
We hope you enjoy your weekend. Thank you for stopping by Pasatiempo Ranch today! Xoxo
We are expecting!
F1b Goldendoodles are set to arrive in February 2023! This is a repeat breeding of Calliope Jane & Alfie Solomon’s. Expect shades of cream and apricot and always throwing a few partis! These pups will grow to be standard sized. We are accepting reservations on this litter now! These puppies will go home in early April – spring is the perfect time for puppy training!
We crossed our paws and fingers for our first litter of F1b Irishdoodles with a pairing of Penelope and Alfie Solomon and they are also expected in February 2023! This will be a beautiful litter with shades of cream to apricot. These pups will be standard to large sized. They will be ready to go home in April. We are accepting reservations now!
If you would like more information on either of these litters or our program here at Pasatiempo Ranch please contact us! ⬇️
We are so excited about February – it’s going to be the best Valentine’s Day ever! Xoxo
Today we celebrate the second birthday of our Originals litter which was the best thing to come out of 2020! From that litter we held back two of our most favorite girls Eloise & Frances.
Eloise was a beautiful cream colored puppy with a liver nose and light eyes when she was tiny. She is now just a larger sixty pound version of that pup. She has a wavy coat and never sheds. She loves the sofa and cuddling and food. She is definitely a people dog.
In complete contrast our gorgeous red girl Frances was the last of that litter born and was not breathing. We spent what seemed like forever trying any life saving measures we could to bring her body to life which finally happened – she is a true miracle baby. Frances is now a fifty pound sweetheart who kept her pretty red color; she has a non shedding coat which is curly like her dads. She looks adorable grown out or with a poodle cut. She loves kisses and hugs. We consider Franny our resident ear expert because she can often be found “grooming” the other dogs ears here at Pasatiempo Ranch. She’s very helpful!
We are very excited to announce our upcoming repeat litter of Alfie and Calliope Jane which will be born in February 2023! If you are hoping to add a sibling to your home or have always wanted a Alfie/Calliope combo now is your chance to get on our reservation list! They will be ready to go home mid April! Text us for more information: ⬇️
We hope if you have a pup from us you’ll check in from time to time or tag us on instagram! You know we love to see our babies as they progress and grow up.
Thank you for visiting our blog – have an amazing day! Xoxo
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
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.
Our much anticipated F1 St Berdoodle Litter (Alfie x Bernadette) is expected in early August. They will be ready to go to their new homes at the end of September.
These puppies will be giant teddy bears. We expect their full grown size to be anywhere from 80-100+. If you’ve been dreaming of a large girl or boy to lounge around with and take to your fave outdoor eating spot this is going to be the perfect choice for you! These pups will be attention grabbers any and every place you go!

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!

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.
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
