The Purrfect Puppy Litter

🐾✨ Introducing: Dolly’s Purrfect Puppy Litter

🐱 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.

🍼 Born: January 6, 2026

🏡 Go Home: March 3, 2026

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.

Puppies!!

We have a few Saint Berdoodle puppies with availability. These babies are absolutely adorable – they have beautiful coats with a variety of colors. We are always happy to share their evaluation results with you and help determine which one might be the right fit for your family or situation. We are right at the 10 1/2 week mark and these babies are charting to be typical sized Pasatiempo Ranch Saint Berdoodles. They are a second generation doodle meaning we have raised both their grandparents and parents to full adulthood so we know exactly what to expect as far as demeanor and temperaments.

We find that this type of doodle tend to not only be best friends to humans but they are easily trained and extremely confident with the world. They are showstoppers when you go out because of their size and of course if their coat is kept a medium to longer length they appear even larger!

None of our puppies are currently showing signs of fading as doods oftentimes do. Both parents have not faded so it’s exciting to watch them as they grow and we hope their new families will keep us updated so we are able to continue to adapt and improve our breeding practices. These puppies have had their first and second set of parvo preventative vaccines and are each microchipped. Potty training is going amazing with almost zero to no accidents! The puppies have full access to our outdoor puppy area several times throughout the day. Most of them love water and any type of climbing play. (Check our social media to see them master the big slide)! We spend lots of hours each day with training and socializing.

If you would like to know more about one of these babies please don’t hesitate to reach out – we would love to have them each in their own homes by fall! Xoxo

Almost Summer!

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

What is ENS Anyway?

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
