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.

This is a Multigenerational Goldendoodle; she is a third generation born here at Pasatiempo Ranch and has a beautiful wavy coat with no shedding
Decoding the fur
Hey there, doodle lovers! Ever wonder what it means when it comes to Goldendoodles, Aussiedoodles, Saint Berdoodles or any other doodle breed and their coats? 🤔 We are going to break it down in simple terms – no genetics degree required!
Coat Types & What They Mean for You
This is a third generation goldendoodle born here at Pasatiempo Ranch; she is a Multigen with a Goldendoodle Mom and a Poodle Father. You can see her coat is curly.
Curly Coats: Low shedding, standard grooming needs (think poodle-like).
Wavy Coats: Moderate to no shedding depending on generation, moderate grooming.
Straight Coats: More shedding, less grooming (but still need brushing! ).
Want low-shedding? F1B or Multigen might be your jam.
Not sure what coat type your doodle will have? We can help with that!
Our multigenerational doodles are highly desirable not only because of their personalities but because of their non shedding coats which are perfect for allergy sufferers as they tend to be completely non shedding. We can help you to see which puppies from which litters will be more or less curly and which ones will be wavy or soft and silky.
This is also a third generation born here; she is a Merle aussiedoodle with silky loose waves and does not shed
One thing to always remember is that because of a doodles coat they need regular brushing/combing and grooming . We use our grooming time as a bonding technique for our dogs and ourselves. We begin grooming and bathing at a very early stage long before your puppy ever goes to his or her forever home. Cutting their nails, touching their faces regularly and running a blow dryer over their coats is just the beginning of teaching your puppy about how grooming is a positive experience.
Want to learn more about doodle generations or find your perfect doodle? We are here to guide you to find your perfect furry friend ❤️
Here you can see second generation Goldendoodle sisters; one is curly and the other has a wavy coat. Both are non shedding. We have the experience to guide you at a very young stage to determine which coat trait your puppy will have.
Can you believe it’s almost summer? It already feels like summer this week since we’ve had temps in the 90s. We’ve already gotten out the sprinklers and it won’t be much longer before we set up the dog pool. Everyone has gotten their summer cuts and they are sporting shorter ears that way we keep them nice and dry and don’t have to worry about any wet ears that get agitated.
We have a litter of F1b Saint Berdoodle puppies coming later in the month. They will be big and fabulous just like their parents! Let us know if you have questions and want added to the list!
There are two little pups who are quickly approaching 5 months that are still looking for forever homes! One male and one female. They are second generation Aussiedoodles and are seriously amazing! Both with fantastic personalities and manners. Totally potty trained and vetted and ready for family vacations and long sleepy dog days of summer. We would love for you to meet them so text us or call to set up a play date to see if Hamilton or Verona would be a good addition to your family!
Along the lines of puppies and pets I think it’s a good reminder for everyone who’s considering adding a pup to think over adding a furry family member. Please realize a pup coming from our program is not a short term rental or a trial. That is not fair to any puppy or dog (or any animal). Getting a puppy is not the same thing as buying a shirt on Amazon and deciding you don’t really want it after a few months. Before you make a commitment please consider how your life will change by adding a furbaby. As always we are committed to our dogs and we are always happy to help you navigate challenging times and recommend training programs, vets and trainers who are local to you.
We hope you’re having the best Spring and hope you’ll share pictures of your summer adventures with your Pasatiempo Ranch babes with us! 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
Hey all! We are so excited to touch base again! We’ve been so busy with puppies and dogs and training and cleaning and more cleaning that there just isn’t a lot of time to sit down and put our feelings into words. ALL of the puppies are growing bigger and smarter and more inquisitive each day. This is our first time ever having multiple litters at once and it is a task! Calliope Jane had six goldendoodle puppies which is an amazing well rounded number and very easy to split your attention between! A week later Penelope wanted to show off and gave birth to thirteen sweet Irishdoodle’s. She was and is extremely attentive to them and was just the best at cleaning and caring for so many especially since this was her very first time being a Mama.
Our puppies started going home weeks ago and it’s always bittersweet. Some are still local to us and others traveled across the USA to get to their new homes! It’s always special to meet new families and people and we consider each and every one of our puppy parents to be a part of our extended family. We love keeping up with y’all and seeing the babes as they grow up!
We had a pretty full list of pawrents planning to get a puppy when we bred our girls as we do anything here with complete intentions and every pup pregnancy is always planned here but as it is in life a few people decided to wait for a future litter or decided that it wasn’t a good time to add a puppy after all. That leaves us with lots of babes to train, care for and of course give love. To be completely transparent we really want these pups to go to furever homes sooner rather than later. They have all been vetted, vaccinated, microchipped and are current on heartworm and flea/tick meds. They are each potty trained (thank goodness) and we do daily training but nothing can replace the one on one care and bond they will receive from their forever families. The truth is the longer they are here the more attached and bonded we all become. Find any of us daily in puppy piles or on the floor with multiple puppies asleep in our laps.
Today is the perfect day to contact us if you’re wanting to add a babe to your family. Each of our puppies are temperament tested and we can absolutely help you find one who fits in with your lifestyle and family situation. The most important thing to us is the puppies are placed into loving arms and forever homes.
We are located in South Texas; we are happy to deliver your puppy to you if you are local. If you’d like to meet our puppies through FaceTime we’d love to hear from you! please reach out so we can tell you all about these special pups!
Our Highwaymen Litter turned 3 weeks old today. They are walking on all fours, sitting up and everyone has their eyes opened! They will be starting with the potty turf in the next few days and will begin in eating mush by the end of the week. It’s incredible to watch such growth in such a short amount of time.
We can tell who is going to be curly and who is going to be wavy. the puppies weights also indicate who will be bigger and smaller sized of the 6. Please reach out if you’d like more information!
We are always more than happy to chat with you about our program and puppies.
