Precious little Biscuit is officially pregnant! She is "filling out" and doing all of the things I am not allowed to, as a man, say about pregnant females - especially humans, like the one I'm married to.
But, if we were to just talk about a dog, and promise not to be make metaphors about humans that might cast aspersions on my wife, here is what I would say. Biscuit is eating a lot more than normal, moving a lot less than normal, sleeping a lot more than normal, and grumpily not wanting pictures taken of her. All of this is normal and expected.
Biscuit currently lives with a wonderful family friend, Miss Jennifer, who has been her provider and caretaker since Biscuit joined our Cute Goldendoodles/Sherwood Farms "family". I will be bringing Biscuit to our home on June 28th, and Biscuit is due to deliver her puppies approximately July 4th. Her puppies will be old enough to go to their new homes approximately around Labor Day - which begs for a Dad Joke about pregnancy, but I will abstain. (You're welcome.)
I'm not positive how many puppies Biscuit will be delivering, and I have no way to know boy/girl ratios until they are born. I currently have 4 people/families on my "interest list" for these puppies. It has been over a year since we have had a litter of mini-Goldendoodles, so if you and I have talked/texted/emailed/socialized on media, etc., (or, none of the above!) and want to be included on our list, please feel free to reach out to me. (info@cutegoldendoodles.com) and I will confirm your spot on our list, or add you to that list.
I run my "interest list" differently than many breeders do with a wait list. I don't like to hold on to people's money, so I will not collect a deposit until the puppies are born, and people are able to make a decision on whether this is the right time for them to adopt a puppy, or not. It seems strange, but I love when people tell me they aren't ready to adopt, because I would never want to force a family to adopt a puppy and/or put that puppy into anything less than an ideal scenario.
Once the puppies are born and growing, I reach out to those on the list and confirm their continued interest. People who are still on my list will have the opportunity to play with and select their puppy about 5 weeks of age. I vigorously maintain the integrity of our list, and I don't skip people or pressure people to decide. (If you want more details on this, just ask me)
OK. So, here is what you suffered through all of that text for... Here is Biscuit (photos taken 6/17) in all of her "leave me alone" mood. Somehow, she still finds a way to be adorable.
