Holiday Season

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

Six Week St Berdoodles

It’s the SIX WEEK BIRTHDAY today! We are so excited to complete each puppies temperament testing today and help their future families navigate which puppy will be best suited for their home and lifestyle!

There really is no such thing as “pick of the litter” since the best “pick” will be based on the home and circumstances into which the puppy is going. In this particular litter we are personally looking for a straight top line, deep chest, and the puppy with the closest to shape of snout and head that we want to produce in our program. We find the “Pick of the Litter” puppies are often bold, outgoing, and require a good deal more training and management than most families are ready for. What we strive to find for YOUR ‘Pick of the Litter’ is a puppy with an easygoing, moderate temperament; one who will enjoy and adapt to family life with ease.

Our puppies are matched with homes and families based on their temperament as observed by *us over time.* We will evaluate the litter for temperament and potential between 1-6 weeks of age and be able to match you and the puppy based on the evaluation results *and* our observations of the puppy over time. We have years of experience and will help guide you to make the match we feel best for your family.

Enjoy your puppy picking adventure today and tomorrow! In general you’ll be looking for an unassuming, moderate and easygoing puppy – that is the one most people want to live with. Our goal is for each of our puppies to be well rounded and easy to train, travel with, manage, and adapt to your daily life!

Xoxo, Jenny & Dalton

What Puppies Need

We are so excited for you to choose your new puppy next weekend! Have you been keeping up with the puppies milestones and growth on our instagram? They change so much each day. We wanted to touch base with you and remind you it is never too early to start planning and purchasing must have items for your new baby!

We have compiled an Amazon list that includes our favorite things for any doodle owner.

Check out this page from Must Haves for Puppy Owners

https://www.amazon.com/shop/verychicbaby

These are things we use daily and love. Feel free to reach out with any questions regarding items and why we use them instead of another brand etc. We are always happy to share our experiences; both good and bad!

As far as the food we use we start our puppies on TLC Pet Food. It is sold exclusively online and is always delivered free. We have ours on autoship and UPS delivers each month to our doorstep! It’s so convenient. There are a plethora of reasons we feed our pregnant, nursing and puppies TLC and we are thrilled to chat with you about why we love it. Tummies get filled with a nutritious blend of concentrated meat proteins, ancient whole grains that are rich in Omegas 3&6. It’s a win win! If you decide to use a different brand of food please make sure it is NOT grain free and make the switchover slowly to avoid tummy upsets. Theres a $5 coupon off your first purchase if you use this link: https://tlcpetfood.com/nutrition/pasatiemporanch

Another item we use for our puppies everyday since before birth are NuVet supplements. All of our dogs use supplements in some shape or form. We are very pleased with how their skin and coats look as well as the way they have improved our older dogs quality of life. The best part about this brand of vitamins are that they are human grade and that is such a huge deal to us because our dogs are our life! Use our code 668809 for 15% off your order!

Lastly we want to address the subject of training. We are breeders and dog trainers and we highly recommend that you use a program of some sort from day one for your puppy. The best dog is a tired and trained dog. With proper training from the day you pick up your puppy your lives will be healthier and happier. We personally use Baxter & Bella for all our training. They offer Lifetime MEMBERS ONLY Access and membership never expires and provides you with unlimited use of everything they offer including individualized training. You can use the code PASATIEMPORANCH for 25% off membership. Check out their website and free information before you purchase to see what you think. We’ve tried a few online training companies and none have impressed us like this one!

We know this is a lot of information for a Saturday morning but we hope it will inspire you to start researching all the best ways to welcome your newest fluffy family member home! Have a great weekend and please reach out with any questions you have!

The Saints are Growing

The St Berdoodles are growing! They started on mush yesterday which is a blend of puppy food, goats milk, water and their NuVet supplements. we are obsessed with their adorable little faces and the cute way they play hard for a few minutes then nap for hours afterwards. They are growing quickly as you can see from their updated weights!

They are now three weeks and each one will start to develop their own little personality and traits. We hope you’re following along on our instagram for a glimpse of what we get to be part of each and everyday.

We have one last spot available for a female from this litter and our picks will be at six weeks. If you have not put in your application and reservation fee please contact us today! We have a flight nanny to help assist in getting out of state pups home and if you’re local we do front door delivery at eight weeks!

Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to visit us here at Pasatiempo Ranch! Xoxo

St Berdoodle Puppies

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.

Coming Soon!

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!
