Indy's 1st Litter Puppies All Grown Up and Her 2nd Litter Is On The Way!

It is hard to believe that Indy's first litter of puppies are 7 months old now!  We are so excited to announce that Indy will be having another litter of puppies soon!  She was such a fantastic momma with the last litter and we can't wait to do it all again.  We've received some fun updates from her first litter. They are all grown up and are thriving with their families!

Colt (#1 from the first litter) has turned into quite the handsome boy and just became a big 'brother!' He is very protective of the family's sweet new addition.

Sweet Rory

Rory's (#2 from the first litter) family has some very sweet thing to say!

"My husband and I purchased Rory in December of 2014. This sweet bundle of fur has been the perfect addition to our family! We live only a few blocks away from the Wittig family, so we were fortunate enough to watch our puppy grow the first few months of his life. Colleen and Cason were extremely flexible and allowed us to visit with Rory as often as we wanted. It was easy to see that his needs were being met (and exceeded) on a daily basis. This helped mold him into the lovable, friendly, trainable dog he is today.

I am allergic to most dog breeds, so we did a lot of research before deciding to purchase Rory. The golden-doodle breed has been wonderful! I have not had any allergic reactions to Rory due to his non-shedding coat. ☺

He looks like a teddy bear

 One of the many benefits of getting a dog with the Wittig family is that they have three young children. Due to this, Rory has been very well socialized. He is extremely patient, even tempered, and does extremely well around children. My husband and I are expecting a baby, and we know Rory will be a sweet, protective, and playful companion.

We would recommend a mini-goldendoodle to anyone. Rory has been a wonderful addition and brings a lot of life, laughter, and love into our family. "

Otis (#3 from the first litter, not pictured) has joined a wonderful family with three little girls. It sounds like he has plenty of energy to keep up with them!

Abbey (#4 from the first litter) moved up north and gets to spend time with one of Rosie's puppies, Josie. She is such a little cutie!

Check back soon for postings when Indy has her next round of puppies that are due any day now!

Videos - puppies outside

They are growing up so fast and getting super cute! Here's the puppies first time outside:

More playing outside:

Here's a longer one of our 2 year old running around with the puppies... please note that no puppies or children were injured in the filming of this video, though both are quite clumsy and excitable, so they did have a few run ins. : )

We will be sad to see them go, but are so happy that all of these puppies will be going to great homes in just a few weeks!

They are getting so big and playful! Can't believe they start going to homes in just a few weeks. We're going to miss them a lot, but are excited for them to meet their new families!

Puppies to the vet & 4 more puppies

So, it turns out that have three children under 2 and a half, and four 4-week old puppies in the same house (while providing crazy levels of cuteness), makes it difficult to find time to blog... but we're surviving, and the puppies and kids are thriving! 

It is hard to believe that the puppies are almost 4 weeks old already! Their eyes are all open and they are getting playful. They are irresistibly cute and so much fun already! 

It used to be pretty much all quiet in the whelping box, but now we hear hilarious growls and yips when they are up playing with each other. Here's a video of them playing with Indy, then getting sad when Indy left them, before playing some more: 

Approximately 30 seconds after this video ended, they were all asleep in a pile like this...

Puppies crashed out

We just got a deposit on the last puppy, so they all have homes they will be joining in a few weeks. Amazingly, they are all going to be in different states - Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Texas! We are thrilled for all of the families that these puppies are going to - they are all going to have such great lives!  We do have a waiting list if anyone is still interested, just in case a family is unable to take their puppy.

Here's all the puppies at their first vet visit: 

#1, "Colt," is going to Indianapolis

#2, "Rory," is going to live in Kentucky just a few miles from us!

#3, an unnamed Christmas morning surprise puppy for 3 little girls, is going to Texas

#4, "Abby," is going to Columbus, Ohio

Chow time

Molly also had a litter of puppies! 

Indy's mamma, Molly, also had a litter of puppies just a week after Indy, so if anyone was sad to miss out on one of our puppies, we're letting people know about hers!  Molly is a first generation mini Goldendoodle (F1, 50% Retriever and 50% Poodle), and was bred with an poodle, so her puppies are called back-crosses (F1B's) since they are in theory 25% Retriever and 75% Poodle. Our Indy is an F1B as well, so you can see how cute they will be!  They are being raised in a wonderful loving home with lots and lots of socialization. Molly had a litter of 8 puppies, 4 of which are sold, so there are 4 males left - here are photos of those handsome boys!: 

If you'd like more information about any of Molly's 4 male puppies, you can contact us at doodlesbyrosie@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with Colleen's Aunt Kathy. They are about three weeks old now and will ready to go to homes right before Christmas.

The gang's all here: (From L to R) #2, #1 (Colt), #4 (Abby), and #3

What happens when you put a two year old, an eight month old, and their mother, plus four puppies and their mother on one blanket?: 

Sometimes you get confused and think that puppies say "quack":

2 Weeks Old

 It is hard to believe that the puppies are 2 weeks old already! The weeks are flying by and these mini Goldendoodles are getting big quickly!

(For more info about Goldendoodles, their mama Indy, or how you can add one of these cuties to your family, click the links or check back through the previous posts.)

Two 2-week olds hanging out: Colt and our son

Their eyes are starting to open up - puppy #4, who will be known as Abby when she goes to her new home in Columbus, OH, is starting to look around the most, but #2, the light colored male is some as well. Indy is taking such good care of them that we really only have to make sure to keep their whelping box clean at this point. The work will come in the coming weeks when they become more mobile and need to get outside to potty!


In addition to #4/Abby, #1 (the reddish boy with the white blaze on his head, chest, and back) also has a name... he'll be known as Colt when he heads to his home in Indianapolis in about a month. Colt's family has a 2 year old daughter and a baby boy on the way, so Colt will have lots of playmates! To get him ready for his new little brother (who is coming this spring), he spent an evening last week cuddled up with our 2 week old son. He's definitely already great at snuggling!

Here's #2, the light colored male, who is still available

#2 - look at that sweet face!

#3, the light colored male with the blaze on his face, is also still available to go to a home for Christmas

#3 snuggling in to the blanket

Here's Colt (#1) again - he's definitely the best eater! He's excited to go live in Indy with his family soon!

Abby (#4) can't wait to spend Christmas with her family in Columbus!

Let us know if you have any questions or if you think you might be interested in one of the two remaining puppies. Thanks!

Puppies and Kiddos

Pups in a row

Our 2 year old was so excited to hold one!

We've had quite a bit of interest in the puppies already, and have been told that there are two deposits about to by mailed, which means we have two sold! If you're interested in one of the other two, please let us know soon at doodlesbyrosie@gmail.com. For info on the process how to get one of these sweeties, check out that section of the FAQs at the left.

As previously stated, Indy's puppies are growing up in our living room, right along with our three children under 2.5 years old. They will be very highly socialized since they've been around people from the moment they were born, and they've already had to get used to lots of noise!

Here is the post with pictures from the puppies' birth day, Saturday October 25th.

And here is the post with close-ups of all the pups from our cuddling sessions this week.

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Our kids have learned that the best view of the whelping box is from up on the couch - they watch them all the time!
