🐱 Inspired by Dolly’s love for cats and her own big-cat personality! 🐱
We are absolutely thrilled to announce the arrival of the Dolly × Swayze litter — a truly special group themed after the world’s most iconic and beloved cats. This litter is extra meaningful because Dolly adores our pet cats and has always been our “big cat in a dog’s body” — graceful, curious, playful, and full of feline charm.

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.

We can’t wait to watch their personalities bloom and to match them with their perfect families. These puppies will have either curly or wavy coats with liver noses and light eyes. We anticipate they will be 45/55 pounds when fully grown.
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
The puppies will be a week old tomorrow! ALREADY! They are having daily weight gains which we are super happy about. Their Mama Winnie is doing an amazing job caring for them. She keeps the whelping box spotless and the puppies are never too far away from her. Winnie is a cuddler so she balls up while they nurse and they are just surrounded by her warm body and love. It’s so special and sweet.
We have received a few applications for this litter and taken a few FaceTimes calls so that people can “meet” the puppies and see them in their newborn environment. We are always happy to chat with you about our program and if you’re interested in a puppy please reach out. Our reservation fee is $250 and we accept Venmo or Cashapp; you can also pay through gooddog using a credit card. The reservation fee holds your spot in line for puppy picks which we do at six weeks.
At six weeks we evaluate each puppy for things like confidence level, temperament, touch tolerance, energy levels etc. At that time we discuss with you which puppy might be the best fit for your family! We love this method because it gives you more information than just looking at that cute curly or fluffy baby and saying THIS is the one for me. The reason that can set up a puppy for failure is for many reasons. If you are working away from home for eight hours per day we wouldn’t want to pair you with a puppy that cannot stand to be in a room without a human. In the same respect if you have little children we want to make sure you bring home a pup who has a high touch tolerance. If your family is active we don’t want to necessarily send home the biggest couch potato in the litter!
We love for you to watch our daily content online and get a feel for the puppies and their personalities and then at the six week mark we put all the information we’ve gathered along with your input together and you’ve got yourself a fabulous new family member two weeks later! That’s the BEST part!
We are happy to answer any questions you have regarding our puppy selection process. Have a great day! 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
