Happy birthday(s) to the cheese litters! Last year we had a double whelping in 24 hours … first Amber had her babies, then Luna! I got pictures of my two rascals from Amber’s litter today, all of whom made it out on 11/10.

The red merle, Opal, was Camembert while she lived with me. (Opal/Cam also stopped by for some peonies earlier this summer a few posts doen!) The blue merle is Ozzy, formerly known as Manchego.

Both families braved the reign of terror unleashed by their high energy levels and rolled up their sleeves at adotion and beyond. (These two were easily the most active of the whole bunch.) And at one year old, they’re doing great!

Love partnering with people who make these doggos happy … it’s a privilege and an honor to work with you all.

And that reminds me … I promised some stories about my first litter who celebrated their second birthday in September! I fell a little behind during puppy care for my winter litter. (It’s Luna’s time of year again.)

But those pups are going to happy homes and my hands are a little more free now. So look for a few happy tails from Bentley (formerly Cinnamon), Pepper, and Baxter (formerly Basil) coming up shortly!!

Baby days and summer haze … when given the opportunity to catch up on lagging work and go to bed early, do we?

Absolutely not if the Northern Lights are out!

And before the weekend is through, happy belared birthday to Eden and Bear’s (and my!!) first litter! Thyme, Sage, Clove, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Rosemary, Pepper, Basil, and Paprika all turned two on Friday!! Will post a few of the beautiful stories I’m getting from their families. It’s such an honor and a privilege to work with you all, and I’m so glad these puppies chose me to deliver them into this world. ♥️🐶

DOG YOGA!!!

We had the best time with Water and Rock Studio a few weekends ago!

Our first project together involved a bachelorette party at Snow Farm Vineyards.

Fainche and Poppy made a few new friends that day. In our very unbiased opinion (for sure), Poppy stole the show. That’s her on the yoga mat. 💕🤣

Next litter due on Sept. 1 and the waitlist is already about half full.

In our commitment to lifetime support after placement and fostering the best outcomes for our puppies and their families, we will be rolling out a few small changes to our program. This will include a $100 rebate upon proof of successful completion of early puppy training classes! Stay tuned!!

Reflecting on an amazing summer kickoff. Cam (now “Opal”) made a visit back to her original stomping grounds just in time to see my peonies in bloom! It was so much fun to exchange stories and hugs with her amazing family and see everyone again as she grows!

Two puppies remain from the Humbuggery litter. One is going home Sunday, and the other, Poppycock, is still available! If you’re interested, please reach out; she’s twelve weeks old and sweet as can be.

And in the meantime, fun-loving sometimes still wins over good manners here at the farm. We had a culprit thieve a baguette cooling on the counter last night. I’ve narrowed the suspects down to Fainche or Hippo. The shifty eyes lead me to believe Hippo had something to do with it. But Fainche’s mild indigestion may exonerate the wrongly accused here. 😂

This batch is my “Humbuggery Litter.” My waitlist very patiently worked with me until after Week 4, when the pups’ personalities came out, to commit to their next soulmate. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the clients who have come through this season.

This video is right after Tomfoolery’s (or, as I’ve re-dubbed him, Thomas the Tank) new person came through for a visit. I love it when families bond with their puppy throughout the whelping process. They fill my heart with joy … as does seeing them grow with you.

Good night littles … see everyone again in the morning … 🥰🐶

No fooling! It’s April 1 and Fainche is in labor! She’s only just started. But, perhaps unsurprisingly in Vermont, this beautiful momma is chewing ice chips from the snow banks we still have by our door. 😂❄️❄️

Can’t wait to introduce these new loves to the world … tune in again tomorrow, when I hope to have more updates! Until then, I’m focusing on my Fainche and the rest of the family up here on the Hill. 💕💕

Hey all! Thank you again for a wonderful holiday season! We may be sold out of our purebred AKC Aussies, but we still have two Aussiedoodle girls with our collaborative partner Jason who are looking for a great home.

They look very much like their Aussie dad, Hippo. Paired with an F1 Aussiedoodle mom (Bori) who is 50/50 poodle/aussie, they’ve got that classic Aussie mix look versus a curly doodle coat.

We would love to hear from you if you’d like an older pup and are looking for your little kindred spirit! And, as ever, all the doodle girls have tails 💗

One of the things I love the most is hearing from clients about how our pups are growing up. Sometimes I get a little uptick when I have new litters. Here’s a story I’d love to share from this past summer.

Casey and Lisa came by to pick out one of our very last available babies this summer. When they got here, I brought Woodstock out to a field on the opposite side of the house of his brothers and sisters. Despite his great work with recall, Woodstock zipped away as soon as I released him! I was puzzled by the display and a bit embarrassed that of course it had to happen for the first time when he was being shown to a family who was interested in him … when we all realized at once he had gone straight back to the pen his siblings were playing in. He sat straight down beside it and gave a little - “Rrrruff!” He was protecting them! 😂

So, we did the showing on that side of the house, instead, and it was love at first sight. Ever since then he’s been Casey’s Velcro dog, and I’ve loved seeing him grow in Lisa’s pictures. We had puzzled over his light appearance at first, but look how solid his markings are now!! And he keeps a faithful watch over the kids he’s with now … he ran the whole way beside them sledding down a hill, below.

I was honored for the special shout out I got on their TikTok page. Lots of clips there about how this lil buddy is growing up! These two are not on Facebook, but if they do happen to swing by, I can’t thank you enough for the respect you’ve shown to me, Woodstock, and the breed in general. It’s people like you who go on to love these babies well and that make the happiest homes. 💗❤️

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and hang tight for more posts!
