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.

As we bid farewell to 2024, we can’t help but look back on the incredible journey Pasatiempo Ranch has taken us on. It’s been a year filled with love, laughter, and lots of furry friends!
One of the highlights of our year was the arrival of our adorable Saint Berdoodle litter of 10. Watching those precious puppies grow and thrive was a true joy.
We’re thrilled to have placed 17 puppies in 2024! Our puppies went to amazing families all across Texas and to seven other states bringing happiness and companionship to families far and wide.
Of course our days and years are not just about the puppies – it’s about the love and care we provide for all our furry babes. This year, we’ve spent countless hours grooming, cuddling, and playing with our dogs. We’ve also been busy working on new puzzles and introducing dog exercises to keep their minds and bodies active.
Behind the scenes, we’ve been hard at work improving our facilities. We’ve added new structures, revamped the puppy yard, and even re-routed our fencing to create a safer and more enjoyable environment for our dogs.
As we reflect on the past year, we’re grateful for the many families we’ve met and the opportunities we’ve had to deliver new furry family members to their forever homes. It’s been an absolute pleasure to share our passion for dogs with so many wonderful people.
As we look to the new year, we’re excited to see what’s in store for Pasatiempo Ranch. We’re already making plans for new litters, new projects, and new ways to provide the best possible care for our beloved dogs.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey. We’re honored to be a part of so many families’ lives, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
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
Puppy dogs. We do so love them don’t we?! We have a plethora of puppies currently and we really want them to end up in amazing doodle homes. Each babe has a specific personality and trait that makes them special. Our puppies are vet checked, have current vaccines, they are microchipped and they go home with one month of complimentary pet insurance. Our puppy bags consist of a few toys, a blanket, food and vitamin samples. We also offer lifetime support – we are always a text away for your questions.
We are quite motivated to find these cuties homes where they can be the number one (or two) puppy in the home. They deserve individualized attention and love. We do have special pricing for specific needs! If you are a doodle lover please message us thru email or text. You can always call us too!
Our pups are ready to go home now and if you are local we are happy to bring the bundle of fluff right to your front door! If you are not local let’s see if we can find a meeting spot! And if you are out of Texas we have a flight nanny that can bring the puppy straight to your local airport!
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
Our Highwaymen litter turned four weeks today! They have had a busy few days. We extended their puppy living area and started them on turf training for potty learning. They also started on mush which is a mix of goats milk, filtered water, and the puppy kibble that we use for all our pregnant, whelping dogs and puppies. Theres a $5 coupon off your first purchase if you use this link: https://tlcpetfood.com/nutrition/pasatiemporanch We also add in NuVet vitamin powder which they’ve been on since in utero. http://www.nuvet.com/668809 Use our code 668809 for 15% off your order!
We have also slowly been adding in toys to the play area which if you’ve been watching our insta stories you’d have seen they absolutely love! Additionally we added the big floofy anxiety pet beds which the pups always love. Nothing is more comfy than a giant squishy bed – we highly recommend those for pups of all ages and sizes.
We do still have availability for this litter – if there is a specific puppy you have your eye on you’ll want to get on our reservation list before it’s too late! We wont have another F1b Goldendoodle litter until 2024.
We love sharing our puppies and dog knowledge – if you have questions regarding our program reach out anytime! We are here for you. Thank you for visiting our page today. Xoxo
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.
The puppies are growing by leaps and bounds! It is so exciting to be here for the litter planning, birth and then experience each milestone afterwards. Do you know that when puppies are born they are completely blind and deaf?? They depend completely on their mother to care and nurture them. Mother Nature is so amazing how these tiny puppies are able to find their food and warmth without those senses. Incredible isn’t it?
Irishdoodle – light purple collar
We currently have two litters at the same time which is a first for us. It is busy but so much fun. Both mama pups are doing great. We spend lots of time cooking for them and making sure they are comfortable and clean. The whelping boxes are cleaned top to bottom several times a day and the puppies are handled numerous times throughout the day so that they are used to being snuggled and cuddled plus we monitor their weights closely the first month to be sure they are gaining a bit each day.
Penelope & her babies
Speaking of cooking our Mama dogs have kibble available to them at all times; we use TLC brand https://tlcpetfood.com/nutrition/pasatiemporanch/which is what our puppies will eat from the time they start mush. We also make special meals for them altering between beef and chicken plus veggies. They eat yogurt and cottage cheese, have constant access to fresh water and love to drink a few bowls of goats milk each day. We also make a recipe called Mothers Pudding which is a super rich pudding with eggs and milk. Our Mamas love eggs – we feed them hard boiled and scrambled eggs everyday. We do everything we can to ensure they hold a steady weight and are also producing loads of milk so those puppies can grow. Additionally we prepare a type of meatball consisting of hamburger meat, total cereal, oats, eggs and molasses along with a few other ingredients that are served raw. The girls gobble those up and it is the very best way to put or keep a consistent weight on a nursing dog.
Goldendoodle whelping area
The Goldendoodle litter will likely start mush next week during week 3 – we don’t rush things – we like to see how everyone is progressing and determine if they are ready as a whole versus sticking to a strict schedule that might not work from one litter to the next. The little personalities are starting to show and they are precious!
F1b Goldendoodle Puppies
Sunday our Irishdoodles will be two weeks old and some of them are already beginning to open their eyes. They are all gaining weight and growing each day. Their colors are really beginning to shine through and they are beautiful.
Irishdoodle Puppies
We are excited to watch them as they grow up – we just know there are so many families out there waiting to be matched with one of these little cuties! Thank you for following along with us on their journey! Please reach out of you would like to find out about reserving one of these babies. They will be ready to go home in mid April. Xo
