Puppies Available! (11/26/23)

With Black Friday behind us, and Cyber Monday tomorrow, it's time to start planning for the next big thing: Adopt a Dog in December! We're still working on a smoother sounding name..., but we do have the adorable puppies you are looking for!

We have 2 Bernedoodle puppies (F1) who were born on November 7th, so they will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. Mom is Terra, our family Bernese Mountain Dog (AKC), and the dad is Caesar, a 17 pound AKC poodle we have used many times as a stud. Their puppies from last year are averaging between 50-65 pounds. They will be low-to-no shedding and they will love being part of the family.

Terra

We have two puppies available this year. We had hoped for a larger litter, but these puppies are beyond adorable and ready to meet you and play with you.

"Teddy" is the boy of the litter and his focus is on sleeping and eating, and eating, and sleeping. He has a beautiful face and plenty of white on his shoulders and back. He's a cutie.

Our little girl is "Trixie" and she has the full tri-color face of a Bernese Mountain Dog. She is cuddly and loves belly rubs.

For more info on these puppies, or upcoming litters, please feel free to contact me at INFO@SherwoodFarms.dog or feel free to text me at 517//256//5668

These puppies will be ready for their new homes just around the first of the year. They will be all up to date on vaccines, and medications, they will be micro-chipped, and we will have a DNA record for you.

Puppies: Then And Now (10/24/23)

Terra's x-ray is coming up this Friday (27th) and we will finally get to "see" how many puppies Terra is carrying. She's definitely getting more "robust" and more "purposeful in her movements." 

As I have learned (painfully) from being a Dad, the acceptable adjectives to use for pregnant moms include - but are not limited to: glowing, beautiful, adorable, expecting, precious, in a family way, maybe even "preggers" if you grew up in the 90's. 

Telling your wife you are "surprised she still fits into those pajamas" or, "you must really like those pancakes," are both strong indicators that she is giving birth to your LAST child!

I am, similarly, trying to be polite to Terra as she waddles around the house, eats like a horse, and is very slow to get up from the floor to go outside - every 20 minutes! I am a much kinder, gentler, more compassionate man than I was before my wife found me and trained me. 👍

With Terra's puppies coming in about 2 weeks, i want to show some pictures of last year's litter, and a few "where are they now?" updates.

It is really hard to have a bad picture of a puppy. Puppies just ooze cuteness! I guess I should clarify a bit. I have taken thousands (literally, thousands) of bad pictures of cute puppies. It's not the puppy's fault, they are little children who squirm, jump, play and move around a lot! If the puppy is predominantly black in color, that can make it even more difficult as black fur requires exacting lighting and lots of prayer for the pictures to turn out! I'm just glad everything is digital now....

The following puppy pictures were taken when the puppies were 4 weeks old - shortly before Christmas 2022.

 

 

"Miss Black" has become "Aoife". (I believe it is pronounced "ee-fuh".) All reports tell me she is a wonderful friend and companion to the adopted Rescue Dogs - and her Human - she lives with. She weighs about 60 pounds.

 

 

************************** 

"Mr. Purple" is now known as "Shaq" and he is a playful and loving boy who is called" the sweetest boy!" by his humans. He weighs about 65 pounds, and there is a chance, he may get a brother/sister from this year's litter!

 

************************** 

 

 

"Mr. Orange" was adopted by the sister of our wonderful neighbors. I'm NOT just saying that because they live across the street from us. They actually are very wonderful - and they hardly ever complain when our leaves blow into their yard...every year! "Doug the Dog" as he is now known, was adopted into a family that was expecting their second child (maybe their first?, sorry, I get confused), and they already had a cat, and a pittie named "Charlie" - who was so kind and friendly to me when we met. They have a full house, but everyone gets along and Doug and Charlie are BFFs. Doug also weighs about 65 pounds.

The next update will be after the X-ray on Friday.... Stay Tuned!

"Give Us Some News About Puppies!" (10/17/23)

First things first: This fall I will be consolidating web sites and info to make it all EVEN MORE user-friendly! Stay tuned for all of our puppy-updates and dog-stuff in one place! YAY!

***********************************************************

If you are interested in updates about our mini-goldendoodles, please go to our site: CuteGoldendoodles.com until we complete our web updates.

***********************************************************

Now, for the exciting news! Terra is expecting puppies! Yes, it's true. Our "lovable loaf of love" - who is sleeping right behind my chair as I type this - is due to give birth to a litter of F1 Bernedoodles somewhere around November 7th. 

Live "action shot" of Terra - as I type!

This will be Terra's second litter with the same dad, Caesar, and we expecting the puppies will grow to between 50-65 pounds when full grown, with the girls on the smaller end, and the boys on the larger end of that range. I am requesting some pictures of last year's puppies, so we can see how they have grown, and I will post those here as soon as I receive some. 

I'll post more information soon.

Some Good News...And Some "Less Good" News (9/14/23)

Charles Dickens famously wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." While nothing in my life compares to the French Revolution, I have to admit I'm a bit "sad/happy" right now. 

On the good side, we recently bred our Bernese Mountain Dog, Terra, and we expect to have Bernedoodle puppies born around Halloween! We will know more in the next few weeks as we confirm her pregnancy. She was mated with the same Daddy Dog we used last year, Caesar. 

Here are a couple of pictures of Terra doing her favorite things - Playing with Grandma, and napping, and being a lap dog.

Here are a couple of pictures from her 2022 litter. Again, we will know more in the next few weeks.

On the "less good" side, our beloved Biscuit is NOT pregnant. We planned to breed her in early August and we have discovered it did not work and she will not be having puppies at this time. Unfortunately, Nature can't be predicted or relied upon.... We will try again in the Spring, during her next heat cycle.

Stay Tuned!

Quick Puppy Update (8/16/23)

 This is really an update to say nothing. (sorry)

We do not currently have any puppies "in the pipeline". We expect to have at least one Mom dog come into heat in the next month or so, but we have no "buns in the oven" - so to speak. 

Once we have a Mom in heat, the normal time before puppies are born, is about 10 weeks (2 1/2 months). After puppies are born, they need to grow and mature for about 8 weeks before they are ready for their new homes. 

That means we won't have any puppies ready for final adoption until December, or (more likely) January 2024.

In answer to the most commonly asked "next question", No, I don't know who or what the puppies will be. We have at least a mini-Goldendoodle and a Bernese Mountain dog due to come into heat soon. I'll announce what we are breeding as soon as we accomplish that task.

Stay tuned!

Thanks!!!
