It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it! 🍑 🐾

Nah, it’s not bad! One thing I can say about this bloodline? Luna (the AKC Show Line Border Collie) passed along her super solid, square structure. But also, her immaculate coat! Lyric, her daughter, also has a gorgeous plush coat.

So here we are, THREE generations away and still, this coat is so fun! So all of Luna and Lyric’s puppies always need bums shaved around this time to keep the puppy area ultra clean.

The good news? These coats are delicious for our families AND these trims are excellent exposure!

It takes a team! So grateful for my nephew and his wife coming over to help me grab photos! It’s much easier with help 🙃

I got photos of Lyric’s Star Wars litter as well as Juniper’s newborn Papipoos! I love my “job” 🥹

Lyric’s puppies turn 6 weeks on Monday! They’re learning so much, so fast! This next week we’ll begin exposure to being in an airline carrier as well advanced exposure to being in crates (with a buddy). They spent some time playing outside today which was full of new things such as airplanes overhead, wind chimes, wind, distant lawn mowers, birds and more!

I love these little fluffy bums so much!

Well, the results are in… and everyone guessed wrong! 😂

Most votes went to the umbrella, followed by the balloon. Nobody picked the water bowl.

But the winner was… 🥁 the metal water bowl!

Puppy development is funny because what seems scary to us isn’t always what feels strange to them. Up until this point, these puppies have gotten their hydration through nursing and soaked food. Suddenly, a shiny metal bowl appeared in their pen, reflecting light, making noises, and introducing a completely new concept they had never encountered before.

One of the things we focus on as breeders is introducing mild, age-appropriate stressors and novel experiences. These little moments help puppies build confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills. Sometimes the things that challenge them most are the things we’d never expect!

And before anyone worries… all of the puppies have fully accepted the water bowl now and are drinking from it like pros. 😂❤️

Bath time!!

Even when they don’t *need* a bath we’re sure to bathe them every 7-10 days so they remain used to the process. As you can see, by this age it’s a pretty relaxing routine for them 🥹

I had to! 😂 💫

Photo time!!!

Camera + Puppies = Most chaotic fun possible 😂

I absolutely love picture day!!! It’s excellent exposure (pun intended) for the puppies too because they have to navigate their insecurities to the flash, being up on a table, a slippery surface or new props and so much more!

We keep our sessions as supportive as possible for each puppy. Taking time to slow down and just cuddle them on the table if they need, or helping them open with by playing with them or even giving them a support buddy!

Lyric’s Star Wars Puppies
Born May 4th 2026

Nail trims are a crucial part of their early days! No t only does it keep Mama Lyric more comfortable while nursing, but it ensures puppies can develop structurally as they should. Long nails cause puppies to pull back on their feet and legs and during a time when they grow literally everyday, we don’t want angles being messed with at all.

Since nail trims will be a regular occurrence during their entire life, trimming from birth helps acclimate them to the feeling and sound.

We trim puppy nails every week here at Oregon Bordoodles!

Lyric’s Star Wars Puppies
Born May 4th

I cannot believe these precious babies are already four weeks old! 🥹 I’m having a blast with this litter! They have those plush bodies and square proportions that make them just extra cute (thanks Grandma Luna for those big booties and square bodies!)

I cannot believe how quickly these guys are taking to potty training and they’re so social and snuggly. My kids always love Lyric’s puppies because they’re little ragdolls, just genuinely content with everything.

They’re still not wanting to wean onto puppy food because Lyric’s milk bar is top notch but we keep trying! Today we did baths and nail trims and most of them fell asleep 😂

We DO have one (maybe two) open spots on this litter and selections start in just two weeks! If you want a smaller, hypoallergenic Bordoodle (probably 16-25lb) that are a thoughtfully paired combination of the two smartest breeds in the world - don’t miss your chance!

May the Force be with you!! ⭐️ 🚀
