A fresh look at Latte and Java.

These two girls both have the straighter, wispier coat that a lot of people ask us about, but their personalities are a little different.

Latte is more laid back, sweet, cuddly, and easygoing.

Java has a little more energy and playfulness to her and loves being right in the middle of whatever is going on.

Both are doing great, growing fast, and still looking for the right families.

Mr. Bean checking in.

Recent vet checkup went great, boosters are done, and he tipped the scale at 14.5 pounds.

He’s growing fast, loving being outside, and apparently big brother is finally starting to allow a few snuggles.

Sounds like he’s settling in just fine.

Kona and Chai spent last night working on a very important life skill.

Friday night pizza and a movie.

These two F1 Labradoodle girls are both sweet, laid back, and pretty content just hanging out with the family.

Kona is a little bigger and Chai is likely going to stay on the smaller side, but both have really nice temperaments and are doing great.

They’re still looking for the right homes, and based on last night, we’d say they’re already pretty well prepared for movie night.

Happy fall, y’all!

Grim, formerly Graham, got to enjoy his first combine ride.

Pretty fitting for a Sterling Prairie pup.

Thanks to all the farmers out there feeding the world. Wishing everyone a safe and bountiful harvest this fall.

Bruno checking in from the pumpkin patch.

Safe to say he understood the assignment.

Fall weather, a pumpkin, and plenty of room to roam. Looks like a pretty good day to us.

One Sterling Prairie pup wasn’t enough.

We’ll take that as a compliment.

There’s something pretty special about seeing a family come back for another puppy and watching the two of them start figuring each other out.

That kind of trust means a lot.

River, formerly Tex, looks like he found himself a pretty good buddy.

Maggie, his 3 year old Boxer sister, is apparently pretty smitten with him already.

We got this pup date from his family and it looks like River has wasted no time making himself at home.

Safe to say he landed in a good spot.

Nothing better than getting pictures like these.

Leonard the Lab and Walter the Labradoodle are both settling in with their new siblings and looking pretty comfortable already.

Leonard’s new brother is actually a Sterling Prairie pup from a previous litter, which makes this one extra fun.

Safe to say both of these guys found a pretty good place to land.

We’ve had quite a few questions lately about how big our Labradoodles are expected to get.

One thing we’ve always tried to do with our Labradoodle program is stay on the smaller side of what people traditionally picture when they hear Labradoodle.

Maui, the miniature poodle we use, is around 15 pounds, and we intentionally pair him with some of our smaller, more compact Lab females.

Jovie, the mother of our current Coffee Litter, is right around 50 pounds.

Our target is typically around 40 pounds, with most of our Labradoodles expected to mature somewhere in the 30 to 45 pound range.

Of course, there can always be some variation from puppy to puppy, but the goal is a smaller, athletic, family friendly Labradoodle that is still sturdy enough to keep up with an active family.

Meet Java.

Java is our most playful girl and definitely the one with the biggest motor.

She loves to run, play, chase a ball and be right in the middle of whatever is going on.

Our four year old has loved her from the start because of her pink collar and has always called her “Pinkie Pie,” so this one has been a favorite around here.

She has had plenty of kid exposure, plenty of play, and plenty of love.

Java would be a great fit for a family looking for a fun, active puppy that is ready to be part of everything.
