Happy birthday!

Happy 4th Birthday to our Originals litter!

Happy December yall! It’s the last month of 2024 so we really want it to count. Today we celebrate three milestones! Our Originals litter of 2020 turned four! (Happy birthday)! Today is the anniversary of our Calliope Jane’s gotcha day! She is our first doodle and she is the one who started us down the dood journey path. As our foundation girl she has given us amazing litters and we adore having her in our family. Our third celebration for today was sending Maui to his forever home. He is the last puppy from our only litter of 2024 to go home and we are so thrilled that each one of the 10 found their matches!

Calliope Jane at 8 weeks; this was her first time going out for Tex-mex

This year we had the birth of our first F1b Saint Berdoodle litter. They were born in May and were the only litter born here at Pasatiempo Ranch in 2024. It was a year we wanted to hold back on producing puppies and really work on training and deciding where our program direction is going. While we may not have had lots of puppies born here this year we were always very busy!

We have lots of big plans for 2025 and the puppies who we are planning for. Our goal is not only to design amazing little additions to your family but also to produce service and therapy pups as well as companion animals to those who so desperately need assistance in daily routines and life in general. The reality of canine companionship is the right dog will change your life. Let us help guide you to the perfect match!

We hope your holiday season is jolly and filled with love and maybe a few sloppy kisses from your furry friend! If you don’t have a furry friend this Christmas we would love to get one into your home for next years festivities! Xoxo

Let’s celebrate

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 weeks
F1b 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

That’s almost a wrap on 2023

Hey everyone! We stay so busy that it’s sometimes hard to remember to blog a bit and update somewhere other than on the gram! We have had such a fun year with litters and then of course growing and training our pack. We are not quite done with the year yet! We have two litters due this month that will be ready to go home around Valentine’s Day! We are extremely excited because both of these mamas to be were born here at Pasatiempo Ranch! Stay tuned for updates and announcements.

Happy Third Birthday to Eloise & Frances of our Originals Litter

The cooler weather has been so nice for us – it’s allowed much more outdoor time during the day and the dogs just love the fresh air. It’s always a good day when you can play outside with your furry friends.

We hope your 2023 has been fabulous and we look forward to spending another year sharing our pups and following along with you and your family of floofs as well! Xoxo

Puppies and the People that Love Them

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!

Thank you for visiting our page! Xoxo

Irishdoodle Girls!

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

Puppy dogs

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!

Thank you for reading. Xoxo

Goldendoodles Visit the Vet!

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

Goldendoodle Puppy Update

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

Highwaymen Litter 3 Weeks

3 weeks old

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.

Growing Puppies

F1b Irishdoodles

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
