New Kids On The Block | Southern California Los Angeles Labradoodle Goldendoodle Breeder

This post is so WAY overdue!

It's been a long time of patiently waiting.....waiting for cute little puppies to grow up....waiting for those now adult dogs to pass all of their health testing.....waiting for the test results....waiting for my girls to cycle....waiting for them to be bred....waiting to find out if they are pregnant....waiting for the puppies to arrive...... waiting.  Waiting to find the perfect boy for my girls.  But it's mostly finally all here and I couldn't be more excited!

Below are my NKOTB.... my new kids on the block.  All of these dogs, with the exception of Paris and Charlie, are puppies I've kept back from previous litters, some from my own lines developed through the years, who have all passed their genetic health testing with flying colors.  It's so fun to keep offspring back, watch them grown & flourish and KNOW their history.  I can tell families about the puppies' Mom, Grandma and, now for some, their Great Grandma, who's currently sitting at my feet keeping my cold toes warm.   And, on top of all that, I was blessed to find the perfect man for some of these beauties.  My sweet, sweet boy is a welcomed addition and we are beyond thrilled with him.

So, enough chit chat.  I'd like you to meet my new Faithful Crew.  And Faithful, they are!  If all goes as we hope, we'll get to start meeting their puppies right around New Years and on through 2014.  Definitely don't wanna miss out on one of their babies!

So, in no particular order, here they are:

LABRADOODLES:
Hales Simply Charming-aka CHARLIE.  He's a medium Australian Multi-Gen Labradoodle who's gonna sire our Multi-Gen Labradoodle litters.  Charlie is 32 lbs with a non-shedding apricot fleece coat.  He has a huge heart of gold, is mellow, sweet as they come.  A true lover who gives the best hugs ever.  We cannot WAIT for his babies.

Hale's Simply Charming: aka CHARLIE

Loveable Labradoodles Coree- aka: COREE.  Coree is our most recent addition to the Faithful Family and came to us as an adult from Loveable Labradoodles.  I couldn't be happier with her!  She's THE most mellow girl ever and is so loving and kind.  A true gem in our program! Coree is an Australian Multi-Gen Labradoodle that's 28 lbs and carries all colors, including chocolate and the parti gene.  We adore her!

Loveable Labradoodles Coree: aka COREE

Faithful's Very Own Build-A-Bear-  aka: TEDDI.  She's a solid medium (38 lbs) F2 Labradoodle, out of Lilly and Cosmo, with a super fun personality!  Teddi is the life of the party and brings joy & laughter to anyone around her.

Faithful's Very Own Build-a-Bear: aka TEDDI

Faithful's Lady in Red-  aka: LOLA.  Sister to Teddi, daughter of Lilly and Cosmo.  Lola is a medium F2 Labradoodle (40 lbs) who's faithful to the core.  She's got a mellow spirit but yet is fun and joyful.

Faithful's Lady in Red: aka LOLA

Faithful's Skip to My Lou-  aka: LULU.  Lulu has been posted on here before but I wanted to add her as well.  She actually has her first litter right now and her puppies have been fabulous!  Lulu is sweet and playful without being hyper.  A gentle girl.  Daughter of Hope & Neo. Medium F1B Labradoodle (38 lbs).

Faithful's Skip to My Lou: aka LULU

Faithful's Invite Me to the Parti-  aka: DAKOTA.  I am ESTATIC about Dakota, as she's so much of what I've been hoping for, for a long time.  She's got a beautiful fleece coat, a sweet mellow personality and carries chocolate and the parti gene.  SO fun!  Dakota is a small "medium" F1B Labradoodle (28 lbs) out of Hope & Neo, full sister to Lulu from a different litter.  She's currently being trained to one day be a therapy dog!  Will be bred approx Summer/Fall 2014.

Faithful's Invite Me to the Parti: aka DAKOTA

GOLDENDOODLES:
Faithful's Paris in the Springtime-  aka: PARIS.  Paris was almost given a different name, soley because people were asking me if I was naming her after Paris Hilton.  Ummm, lets correct that with a big fat NO way.  Paris was given a super special name because Paris, France is pretty much my most favorite place to visit, ever.  Well, in my limited travels it is.  I dream of owning a loft in Paris for little retreats and get-aways.  A girl can dream, right?!  Anyhow, Paris is a beautiful dark golden Golden Retriever (63 lbs) who's gonna produce some beautiful apricot and red Goldendoodles!  She's super, super sweet and a true retriever at heart.  Paris has been BRED to Ryder & is hopefully due early February.  Yeah!

Faithful's Paris in the Springtime: aka PARIS

Faithful's Harlequin Romance-  aka: HARLEE.  Harlee is a medium F1B Goldendoodle (37 lbs) out of Zoey & Neo.  Zoey won the popularity contest around here and was known for her mellow, sweet babies!  Harlee is also a fun, sweet girl and will be bred for Spring 2014 babies. Yippee!

Faithful's Harlequin Romance: aka HARLEE

Faithful's Puttin' on the Ritz-  aka: PRESLEY.  If life were just about looks, then Presley would be queen.  She is gorgeous!  Pictures don't do her justice.  Presley is an F1 English Goldendoodle out of Izzy and Neo and has a spunky but sweet personality.  We are SO excited to meet her babies in Summer/Fall 2014.

Faithful's Puttin' on the Ritz: aka PRESLEY

WHEW!  I think that covers my new additions for puppies in 2014!  Don't forget our other 2 boys, Neo and Ryder, as well as our Golden Girls Izzy and Ella, who are listed on my web site.  The others on my web site have retired and one day I'll get around to getting my web site all straightened out and updated.

Lulu's 4 Week Old Australian Multi-Gen Labradoodle Puppies! | Southern California Los Angeles Labradoodle Breeder

Lulu's puppies are 4 1/2 weeks old and starting to be so fun!  They had their first taste of puppy food this week and are starting to bark & play around with each other.  Still very clumsy but oh so adorable!  Itty Bitty Black Boy is doing great and caught up with his Itty Bitty Sister, Purple girl.  They're both going to take after their dad in size but are definitely mighty in personality!  I actually took these pictures at the beginning of the week but completely forgot to post them.  Sorry Lulu families!

Aside from the poor lighting, check out my cute babies!  :)

(This litter of Australian Multi-Gen Labradoodle puppies are all spoken for.  We are currently taking names in case of a cancellation.  Great litters coming for Winter/Spring too! Contact us at faithfuldoodles@hotmail.com or by calling Julie @ 661-702-7955)

Lulu's Litter of Australian Multi-Gen Labradoodles! | Southern California Los Angeles Australian Labradoodle Breeder

I've been so busy taking care of & playin' with cute puppies that I'm falling behind in my fun news to share!  LULU had her BABIES!  :)  And if you've followed me on Facebook a little, you've probably heard me mention that this is a pretty special litter to me.  This is our very first litter of Multi-Gen Labradoodles, which is fun in itself, but what's so cool is that it is the direct result of many years of breeding our own lines.....from the ground up.  We started with a sweet, sweet Black Labrador Retriever, Daisy, who's sitting at my feet as I type this.  And she had a couple litters of F1 Labradoodles and we kept 2 pups...Lilly and Hope.  Those girls had puppies (F1B Labradoodles) and so we kept a few back for breeding (Lulu & Dakota out of Hope. Teddi and Lola out of Lilly. Can't wait for you to meet them! Stay tuned...).

Still with me?  Fast forward and now it's Lulu's turn for HER puppies to be born. SO.CRAZY.  So that means= Daisy--Hope--Lulu--these puppies. Which means my sweet, sweet black Lab Daisy who's laying at my feet is a GREAT Grandma.  !!  Eek.... love it.

Another crazy story about Lulu.  I went to pick her up from her Guardian Home several days before she was due to deliver.  I like the mama's to settle in at my house before they deliver (there's about a weeks window of when they can deliver & the pups be healthy).  While I was chatting with her Guardian family, she.went.into.LABOR.  Labor!  Right there on their living room carpet.  My heart sank because it was too early for the puppies to be born and I dreaded the possible result.  Puppies not fully developed.....potentially not alive. Ugh. Not good.  :(  I rushed Lulu to my house, thankfully just down the street, and like a pro, this first time mama popped those babies out in record time.  All alive.  All beautiful.  All healthy, from outward appearances anyway.  Two were very itty bitty, but considering all the above, I was so VERY thankful for the happy ending.  6 puppies total. 4 boys. 2 girls.  Amazing.  Thank you Lord!

Those pups just turned 2 weeks old and are still beautiful and sweet a pie.  One of the itty bitty's has struggled and isn't able to nurse on his own, so we are bottle feeding him every 2-3 hours and he's a TOTAL fighter. Like a small but mighty fighter.  He's still very tiny, even compared to his itty bitty sister (he's less than a pound as of today), and the other 4 look like giants compared to him.  But he wants to eat, has a great appetite and is very strong.  We are watching him very closely as we don't think he's totally out of the clear yet....but the fact that there is even hope and he's still around after this crazy journey is great.

Since I've been behind in getting pictures posted, I'm posting a lot.  The first 2 are taken the day after they were born.  Then there's a few of them where Great-Grandma Daisy was babysitting them.  After that are pictures I took tonight of them at 2 weeks old.  It was 5pm, too dark for pictures, but I took them anyway and they aren't the best in terms of clarity.  The pups are so cute that I don't think Lulu's puppy families will care.  :)  And there are way more pictures of the boys because the girls just weren't interested in having their picture taken.

Whew.....  I'm done.  Enjoy!

Izzy's 8 Week Old F1 English Goldendoodles Going Home! | Southern California Los Angeles Goldendoodle Breeder

Before I knew it, Izzys puppies were 8 weeks old and ready to go home.  Waaaaa!  I always say it, but it's a day of mixed emotions for our family because the puppies are leaving, but we get to meet their sweet families and see how happy they are to meet their puppies!  I love each one of these families and am so thankful our paths crossed.  I'm blessed that each puppy is going to be spoiled & loved on by wonderful people!

Here the puppies are on the Selection/Take Home Day:

Here's Black Boy with his adorable family. He's now Leonardo aka: Leo

And the Winner for Cutest Couple goes to (drum roll please........  :)  Aren't they so cute?!  They are engaged and dripping with cuteness and Blue Boy, now Whiskey, is gonna be SPOILED. The soon-to-be husband is from London and I could listen to his accent all day long.  :)

This sweet, sweet family adopted big boy Gray Boy, now Echo.  They are a hiking family and chose that name in honor of their favorite thing (one of them anyway) to do as a family

Sweet Green Girl is now Scout.  She's gonna have an incredible life at the beach!

Orange Boy!  Orange Boy is now a Scout too and is definitely gonna have more love than he'll know what to do with.  :)

Pink girl, now Beckett, is gonna have a blast with this fun mom/daughter duo!

Sweet Purple Girl is now Luna and may be a Mama one day!

This adorable, super duper nice couple are a Guardian Home for Miss Sweet 'n Sassy pants, Red girl (pictured on the left).  Red Girl, now Matilda, is a future Faithful Hopeful and a potential therapy dog.  The puppy on the right is Matilda's half-sister/cousin, or something like that in doggie language.  Izzy and the puppy's mama are full sisters and both puppies have the same dad.  Now that's a crazy family dynamic!  ;)

And last, but definitely not least, is this cute couple!  They adopted another Sweet 'n Sassy girl, Yellow girl.  Yellow girl is now Pippa and that name is SO fitting for her!

Thank you again, Izzy families!  :)

Izzy's 7 Week Old F1 English Goldendoodles | Southern California Los Angeles Goldendoodle Breeder

Izzy's puppies sure have grown up these past 3 weeks, since our last post.  And a few days ago someone must have given them some ornery juice, 'cause outta nowhere they found their SPUNK!  They're gettin' their own little personalities, feeling sassy & spunky with just the right amount of sweetness to make it all okay.  ;)  Can't believe they leave us this weekend!  :(

They didn't want to cooperate for pictures since Mama was standing right by me, but check out how they've grown! Here they are at 7 weeks old:

Izzy's 4 Week Old F1 English Goldendoodles | Southern California Los Angeles Goldendoodle Breeder

Oh my....I can't believe I haven't posted anything since Izzy's puppies were fresh outta the oven!  With the evolution and ease of quickly posting on Facebook, I've forgotten to keep my blog a little more updated.  So I guess that means you need to be a "fan" of ours if you aren't already......   :)

Izzy & Neo's medium/standard F1 English Goldendoodles just turned 4 weeks old and have grown so much since my last post!  Their eyes opened up during the 2nd week and now they've gone from barely crawling around to the beginning stages of wresting with each other.  :)  They are getting less wobbly but still pretty uncoordinated.  It's fun to watch!  :)  They've also just started enjoying "real food" and eat 3 times a day, as well as nursing from their mama.  

So far, they are a quiet and mellow bunch that just melt in your arms when you hold them.  That all may change in the next couple of weeks tho......   ;)

Without further ado...here they are at 4 weeks old.

This litter is all spoken for.......  :)  For info about our upcoming litters, please contact Julie:  faithfuldoodles@hotmail.com or by calling 661-702-7955
