Babies! F1B English Goldendoodle Puppies [Southern California Goldendoodle Breeder]

I'm so excited to announce that Zoey delivered 8 healthy, beautiful F1B English Goldendoodles just 3 days ago!  Zoey could not be a better mommy in any way.....seriously!  She delivered the puppies with such grace and had a smile on her face the whole time.  Definitely made my job easy this time & makes giving birth look easy.    :)  She's a loving, concerned mommy that wants to be by her puppies side all the time.  In fact, my biggest issue has just been getting her to go outside to go potty.  I literally have to put a leash on her to make her go out!

Zoey started delivering the puppies around 10am on Monday morning and the last one arrived into the world right at 3:30pm.  #8 struggled just a bit so I suctioned her nose, gave her a few minutes of good rubs in a warm towel and now she's doing great!  Welcome little ones and thank you Lord for a healthy, easy delivery!

For the first week or so, I try to leave my mamas alone as much as possible, since they are usually a bit protective and extra concerned, but it's had 'cause they are SO cute!  My kids ask multiple times a day to go see the pups but know that, just for now, it's pretty much "eyes only" and no touching.  They were extra excited to help me take pictures so they could sneak in a few hugs.  But I ran into a couple of problems.....

This is what kept happening in my pictures.....

I was literally holding Zoey back most of the time with one hand, trying to hold my camera and take a decent shot with the other hand, while trying to convince my kids to step back so I could take a picture without some part of their body getting in the way.  It was a little bit funny and pretty exhausting!  hahaha.....

Here are a few more of these sweet things at only 3 days old.  Can you believe they've actually gotten a teeny bit bigger in 3 short days? Incredible!
