Getting to know you…all 8 of you!
December 14, 2022
Here at Doodle Patch Farm, in Germantown OH, the past five days have been a routine of feeding Luna, weighing puppies, taking notes and spreading the word that the cutest Aussiedoodle puppies on the planet have arrived! With so many merles, it has taken time to remember the unique characteristics of each one.
Titan, the brown and white firstborn, and only non-merle, is easy to identify. He is also the biggest puppy so far weighing in at 1lb, 10oz. Second to be born was Dipper, a blue merle. She has three unique black stripes on her right side and is an eager eater. Eclipse, another blue merle, has a darker face and is rather vocal. Aurora, a striking red merle, has an easy to identify coat pattern. She is growing steadily and only squeals when she can’t squeeze between her siblings to eat. Comet was the smallest red merle pup. Although the smallest pup to be born, he immediately latched onto his mama and began suckling before she had time to clean him off. He is small and fierce. Ironically, after Comet was born, Cosmo, a red merle as large as Titan, came into the world. He is a big boy and now weighs 1 pound 8 ounces. Newton is a blue merle with large black spots and a lovely full white collar. He is stunning. Last was Journey, another red with an interesting dark brown coloring over his left eye giving the illusion he’s wearing an eyepatch. Like his sister Aurora, he has larger patches of red.
Puppies are born blind, deaf and toothless. This combination would make any creature sound weak. This is a healthy, robust, wiggling, noisy bunch. In spite of their perceived helplessness, much like a human infant, every puppy has a voice that can become very loud! And when they squeal, Luna responds with loving licks. They can also crawl like spiders to mama and burrow beneath each other to feed. They’re surprisingly strong and quick!
Already I can see personalities developing. I have observed and noted which puppies respond to scent. A few immediately show interest in a scent, and their noses go to work to follow that scent. Some squirm and squeal when held, others are more relaxed.
Every day brings changes. Every day I fall in love with these pups all over again.
More pictures and information will be coming as I get to know these beautiful babes.
