Taffy and Colton
Taffy's puppies have arrived!!! F1b doodle--meaning 3/4 Moyen poodle and 1/4 English Shepherd.
Birthdate is October 14, 2023. They will be ready to go home on December 9th.
Princess Taffeta gave birth on October 14th, in the wee hours of the morning. Miss Maple woke up my husband with her barking. Timothy went downstairs to tell Maple to be quiet, and found Taffy with the first puppy. Timothy woke me up, I woke up Emeline, and we all waited and watched for the second puppy. Timothy went to bed not too long after the second puppy was born. Emeline made it until the fourth was born. I stayed to monitor the situation, but Taffy had it well in hand.
I went to bed after the tenth baby was born because I thought Taffy's signs of relaxing and settling in with the pups indicated she was done. When I went downstairs the next morning, there was an 11th pup. Whew. That's a lot of puppies for a first-time Mama!
Colton--the sire
Colton is a dark red Moyen poodle (much more red than this pictures shows) owned by So Lucky Farms, which specializes in goldendoodles. They are located in Norridgewock, Maine.
They describe Colton this way: Colton is an AKC Moyen Poodle that is a deep red in color. Colton weighs about 21lbs. Him and his sister Quinn both came from Florida and they are as precious to look at as they are sweethearts. Personality plus for little Colton!
We picked Colton as the sire because of his dashing good looks (we are suckers for redheads), his clear health testing, and his easy-going attitude. We wanted to focus on the characteristics that make the best possible companion dog. We are hoping the pups have gorgeous red hair, easy-going temperaments, and an affinity for children.

Our Dainty Darling is the smallest, sweetest, and reddest of the litter. She's clearly a Princess--like her mama.
Coco -- Six Weeks
Freddie (green collar) -- Two Weeks
Our ombre mover and shaker. Green collar is ambitious. His eyes were open the first. He walks around now like a pro while the rest of the pups are still crawling or wobbling. He holds his head up better than the rest of the pups. His head--especially his ears--is quite red, but the back half of him is much lighter. He's a doll.
