It’s the news you’ve all been waiting for… 💛

After a tough storm last season, Lucy’s Rainbow Pups have officially arrived on March 24, 2026 🌈❤️

We were truly holding our breath through Lucy’s labor. With a first-time mama, everything feels new — reading her behavior, knowing when to step in or step back. It was a long night and day, but once the chaos settled, we were so relieved and overjoyed to see Lucy loving on her babies and stepping beautifully into her role as a devoted mama.

This litter feels extra special in so many ways. Just the day before, Lydia came home with a rainbow coloring sheet… and that very evening, Lucy went into stage 1 labor. Then came another sweet reminder — 7 puppies safely made it to us, and as my husband pointed out, there are 7 colors in a rainbow 🥹

It truly feels like such a blessing.

We are beyond excited to watch these precious pups grow and to see what they have to offer — especially as this is our very first litter from our sweet Lucy & Blue.

As for availability, we are so honored by the number of families waiting for one of these babies. At this time, we have a few male spots still open — and then all of these sweet pups will have their forever homes 💛

✨ Born: March 24, 2026
✨ Go Home Date: May 19, 2026

Welcome to the world, Lucy’s Rainbow 🌈

That’s a wrap on our Adventure Awaits litter!

It has been such a pleasure to work with each family during this current season and with how patient they all were during our current situation with me being pregnant!

A big THANK YOU to all of you who opened your hearts and home to receive a piece of our passion. It’s such a joy to work with the families and get to know each one on a different level. Thank you for trusting me with raising your new family member, even though they are with me for such a short time, they leave an impression on our family.

Also a big thank you to all who have helped during this season, whether it was helping with chores, delivering and/or meeting with the families (thanks to my hubby!), and to those who helped shaped these puppies mental structure by providing socialization and some extra love.

We wish you all the best and welcome to the Golden Hour family!

✨ Puppy Watch for Miss Lucy ✨

Because we are officially on puppy watch for Miss Lucy and her sweet babies, we thought it would be fun to share some facts & quirks about our Lucy Lou

Lucy is currently the youngest girl in our program—and also the biggest golden in our gang! She’s our darkest girl too, with a rich coat that almost leans Irish Setter red. Her coat has more curls and waves (thanks to her sire), and she was actually named after him—Louie. He was sweet, gentle, and a bit reserved… and Lucy has definitely taken after his temperament.

She’s mellow, loving, a little shy at first, and yes… just a touch stubborn—but we adore her exactly as she is.

Lucy is a huge fan of tennis balls (especially removing the felt 😅) and has really grown to love playing fetch. She also has the thickest, floppiest ears I’ve ever seen on a golden! One of her sweetest traits is how she’ll sit right at your feet, patiently waiting for pets. She’s naturally great on a leash and gives the cutest “excited whines” when she sees us!

Last season, Lucy stepped in as a surrogate mama for some of Harley’s puppies after losing her own litter. Her nurturing instincts are so strong, and it gives me so much hope and excitement for this upcoming litter 💛

We can’t wait to see what her puppies will be like! Will we get dark, rich goldens? Curly coats? Lighter shades? What personalities and temperaments will this pairing bring? We have no idea how many to expect—but we do know each one will be deeply loved 🐾

If you’re wanting to join the waitlist, please message me! We already have a few families waiting 🥹

This litter is especially meaningful—Lucy’s rainbow after the storm 🌈 This will also be the first litter introduced to our newborn baby in just a month and a half, which makes it even more special for our family.

We are expecting puppies to go home around mid-May, making them perfect summer companions! If they’re anything like their parents, they’ll absolutely love the water!

We’re so excited to meet Lucy’s rainbow pups and are praying for a safe and smooth delivery—whenever it may begin (could be within the next 12–48 hours or more!)

Stay tuned 💛🐶

Well our first puppy of our winter litter has gone home today! It’s going to be a big week for these pups 🐾 8 weeks has flown by!

Lydia is ready to give each and every one a special “Lydia kiss”.

We took advantage of the snow the other day and the puppies LOVED it! Even Uncle Koda got to play with them!

PUP-date: I’m happy to announce that Aspen found her home in record time 🥹 and she is going home to a loyal family who is already part of the Golden Hour family ❤️

-

Sometimes plans change in ways we don’t expect. This morning we received word that the family who had reserved Aspen is no longer able to bring her home. While that’s always a little disheartening, we truly believe her perfect family is still out there waiting for her. 💛

So everyone say hello to sweet, playful Aspen!

Aspen is our beautiful light golden girl with the sweetest personality. She reminds me so much of her mama, Quinn. She is gentle, personable, curious, and loves to explore. Aspen is confident, playful, and always ready to be part of the fun.

She also loves playing with our older adult dogs and fits right in with the pack, which tells us she will make a wonderful addition to just about any family.

Aspen completely stole the hearts of our vet and vet tech today during her puppy check, which didn’t surprise us one bit. She has that special charm about her!

She will be ready to go to her new family next week once we find the perfect match for her.

If you’ve been waiting for a sweet golden girl to join your family, Aspen just might be the one. 🐾✨

✨ 7 Weeks Old – Growing Up So Fast! ✨

Our puppies are officially 7 weeks old and really getting the hang of our daily routine and setup!

The weather has helped a TON, allowing us to spend lots of time outside while cleaning chores happen. With the time change, we can even stay outside a little longer in the evenings for playtime before bed — which definitely helps everyone sleep better at night!

The potty trays have been coming in handy as the puppies are starting to learn designated potty areas. We fill them with grass to help make the transition to outdoor potty training easier for their future families.

For naps, these pups have plenty of cozy options:
• Elevated cots
• Donut beds
• Open-door crates
• Or their personal favorite… the cool floor!

They’ve also been introduced to treats and small biscuit snacks, the “big dogs”, and are almost fully weaned from mom (usually nursing about once a day). They are now enjoying dry puppy food coated with powdered puppy formula and doing great with it!

And of course… they’ve discovered that water play is VERY fun — even if it can be a bit messy 😅

These past 7 weeks have absolutely flown by, and it’s hard to believe they will be heading to their forever homes soon. Watching their personalities blossom has been such a joy!

🐾 7 Week Puppy Fun Facts 🐾

• Puppies are in a very important socialization window at this age. Positive experiences now help shape confident adult dogs.
• Personalities really begin to shine around 7 weeks old.
• Puppies are learning bite inhibition and play manners from their littermates.
• Most puppies are fully weaned or nearly weaned at this stage.
• They still sleep a lot — often up to 18–20 hours a day while they grow and develop.

Adventure truly awaits these sweet pups, and we cannot wait to see the incredible lives they will live with their forever families. 🐾✨
