They have graduated from the neonatal stage (0-2 weeks) to the transitional stage (3-4 weeks) and now to the socialization stage. The puppies […]
River and Jett Scored a Touchdown!
We are four days past whelping. Nine puppies are here, and they are perfect! River enjoys her daily pampering which includes frequent baths (birthing is messy), extra meals of cooked chicken and fresh vegetables, exercise breaks, and around the clock affection. The puppies have gained 10% of their birth weight each day. In about a […]

Puppy Socialization. . . It Happens Sooner Than You Think!
I am seated at my dining room table with a view of the yard, pasture, and woods, I can see our standard poodle Mack (Marquis deLafayette) and Tucker (Friar Tuck of Doodle Patch Farm), riotously digging a deep enough hole to swallow an entire dog’s head and shoulders when peering into. I’m wondering if a […]
It’s Halloween at Doodle Patch Farm
It is Halloween night here in South West Ohio. How fitting that it is also a dark and stormy night.

The Autumnal Equinox, Pumpkin Spice, and Puppies

The hurricane developed into a tsunami on May 25, Labor Day weekend, when Luna gave birth to 10 Aussiedoodles. Just 24 hours later, Ivy […]
