3-4-21  Gabbi had 7 puppies early Tuesday morning.  There are 4 girls and 3 boys.  All the pups will go to people already on our waiting list.  Arya is next to have her pups in the beginning of April.  Lilly will be having medium sized pups close to Arya.  BB will follow them later in the month of April with minis.  Lily (Cleo) will be bred this coming weekend for mediums.  So, lots of babies coming!  
2-22-21  All of Tinkerbell’s puppies have gone to their new homes and Bailey’s puppies start leaving this coming weekend.  I am beginning to contact people on my mini list for Sophie’s puppy selections.  Gabbi’s guardian family wrote me last week saying that all of a sudden Gabbi was looking pregnant and her tummy seemed to have doubled overnight.  When I visited her 3 weeks ago, we were all convinced she was not pregnant, so I didn’t do the blood test.  Well, she surprised us and is now looking definitely pregnant!  She is due the first week of March. 

1-29-21  We have people coming to visit Tinkerbell and Bailey’s puppies beginning in February.  They are getting fatter and fuzzier by the day.  They are very happy, friendly pups.  In other medium goldendoodle news, Lilly has been bred and I will know in 5 weeks if she is pregnant.  BB just went into heat and will be bred in about a week and a half. 
 For our minis, Sophie’s puppies will be opening their little eyes soon and be moving about in a week or so.  I should know in about a week if Gabbi is pregnant.  My daughter took off for college in Riverside, 8 hours away, and the day after she arrived, Arya went into heat!  So, I am driving half way to meet her on Saturday to bring Arya home for breeding.   I  will be breeding Arya in a little over a week.  All in all, it is a busy time around here. 
1-23-21  Tinkerbell’s pups are 4 week old and I will be reaching out to the first 6 people on my waiting list to set up visits for people to come, play with the pups, and make their selections.  Bailey’s pups are beginning to work their way out of the whelping box and will be exploring the puppy room soon.  Sophie had her pups last Saturday night and they are growing well and looking sweet and healthy!  Sophie is a very protective mother and her babies are kept shiny and clean.  I have posted a few new photos of them.  I hope to do Bailey’s puppies’ photos tomorrow or Monday.  I can do a pregnancy test for Gabbi next week to see if she is pregnant and Lilly has just gone into heat, so we will be breeding her in a week and a half.
1-6-21  Bailey and Tinkerbell’s pups are growing fatter by the day and Tinkerbell’s babies are just starting to open their eyes!  I’ll take photos on Friday.  Sophie is getting rounder and rounder and due on the 16th.  Gabbi has been bred to Phoenix, but we won’t know if she is pregnant for a month and there is the possibility that she might go into heat again.  She has had a split heat twice in the past and I don’t know if she will do the same thing this time. 
We do not have any open waiting lists at this point.  I don’t anticipate opening any lists till approximately February and that will be for F1 or F1B medium pups from Lilly and BB. 
1-1-21  Two things happened today.  Our little Tinkerbell boy passed away peacefully with his little head resting comfortably on the stuffed animal we had placed in the basket with him.  There must have been something going on internally that we couldn’t see. 
 After checking on him, I looked in on Bailey and Tinkerbell and discovered that in 2 hours, Bailey had delivered her first litter, all by herself!  She had 6 babies and they all looked fat and healthy.  Happy New Year!  
12-27-20  Tinkerbell started running a fever of 103.1 and we called the vet for advice.  Since she was still eating well and acting completely normal, we decided to just watch her for signs of improvement and by morning, her temperature was down to normal range.  The tiniest puppy, who was about a third the size of his siblings was not able to maintain his body’s temperature, so he came inside to be placed in a basket with a heating pad.  He was bottle-fed every 2-3 hours and on antibiotics.  He ate well, but never vigorously.
12-26-20  Tinkerbell had 6 puppies from 11 pm on Christmas Eve and ending at 8 am Christmas morning.  I could tell she still had a puppy inside, so, by late afternoon, at our vet’s advice, we gave her some oxytocin.  It increased her contractions, but no puppy was produced.  After a second dose of oxytocin an hour later and still no pup, Tom took her to the vet’s office.  He tried a couple of different things, but no luck.  So, at 9:30 pm, he performed a C-section and 2 puppies were born limp, lifeless and dehydrated.  Tinkerbell was also dehydrated and was given an entire bag of IV fluids.  One puppy, a male, was revived and given fluids, but the other was unresponsive.  At 12:30 am, Tom brought home a groggy momma dog and a fat, hungry, very large puppy.  The vet advised us to watch Tinkerbell closely for fever or other signs of infection.   All of the puppies did well with bottle feeding in her absence.
12-23-20  I am beginning to think that Tinkerbell will hold onto her puppies till Christmas Day again, just like last year!  What a dog!  She was due on Monday, but no signs of any changes yet.  I take her temperature twice a day and when it plummets down below 98 degrees, she will have puppies within 24 hours! 
Bailey is due in the first week of January and Sophie is due in the middle of the month.  Gabbi just went into heat and should be bred the first week of January for puppies in March or April.  She has had split heats the last two pregnancies and has been rebred a month after her first breeding.  Makes life interesting!  Our two new mini bernedoodle girls are growing and learning their manners well.  One of them, Snickers, has been claimed by our daughter who is working hard on potty training and obedience training.  Her hardest lesson is to learn to take treats gently.  I don’t even think she tastes the treat, but just gulps it right down without even chewing!  Shasta, her sister is in a guardian home nearby and is really doing amazing things with her owners and big brother, Truckee, who was a Paisley puppy.  Both girls are absolutely stunning!

     

12-15-20  Tinkerbell and Bailey have growing tummies and are getting closer to their delivery dates in  a couple of weeks.  Sophie has also been bred and I am pretty sure she is pregnant.  We are waiting for Gabbi, Arya, Lilly and BB to go into heat in the next month or two.  Artemis and Cleo did not get pregnant, so we will try again in 4-6 months. 
 Thank you to everyone who emailed me on Saturday to get on our mini goldendoodle list.  We received 42 emails exactly at 10:00, so my openings were quickly filled and the list is closed.  As always, if you are a Quartz Mountain puppy owner, you can always be added to the waiting list, even if it is closed.  It might be a long wait, but at least your place in line will be saved!
11-28-20  Happy Thanksgiving (a little late).  Tinkerbell and Artemis both had a positive pregnancy test, so I expect puppies around Christmas from both of them!  Sophie has been bred for minis and I am waiting for Gabbi and Arya to also go into heat.  We received 2 mini bernedoodle girls for F1B puppies in the future. One of them, Shasta, will be going to her new guardian home tomorrow and the other, Snickers, will be staying with us.  Our daughter has taken over house training for her and loves her to bits.     
I will be opening up my mini goldendoodle list for 15 new names on Saturday, December 12 at 10 am via email only.  If you are one of the first 15 people to email, I will send you a waiting list form and you can fill it out and send it back along with a $300 deposit which will come off the total price of the puppy which is $2500.  When I receive both the form and the deposit, your name will be added to the waiting list.  You will get to choose your puppy based on where your name appear on the list.  I expect all of my mini pups to be born from January through March.  Of course, if you already own a Quartz Mountain pup, you can be added to the waiting list at any time.  You do not have to wait till I open it.  
11-10-20  I’m not sure what happened to my page here, but it was all messed up and now it it fixed.  Lots of news. 
I have no puppies at the moment, which is very unusual, but I have bred Tinkerbell, Bailey, and Cleo (who is now living with a guardian home and is now Lily) for medium sized puppies.  It was just a  couple of weeks ago, so it is too early to know if any of them are pregnant.  I have also bred Artemis, our standard Bernedoodle for medium sized pups as well.  We will not be breeding standard sized puppies any more because Scout has developed patellar luxation which is a genetic issue and we don’t want to pass it on to any of our puppies.  His hips were fine, but not his knees.  So, he will be neutered in December and rehomed.  I expect Gabbi and Sophie to go into heat some time in December and will keep everyone updated on the opening of their waiting list as well.  I hope to open it in December for 15 people. 
I am opening a list for medium sized goldendoodles on November 14 at 10:00 a.m. via email only for 20 new names.  If you are interested in being one of these future puppy owners, email me right at 10.  I won’t accept any emails that come prior to 10.   If you are one of the first 20 people, I will send you the waiting list which you can fill out and send back along with a $300 deposit.  When I receive both items, your name will be added to the waiting list.  Puppies will be chosen based upon where your name appears on the waiting list.  As always, if you already own a Quartz Mountain pup, you can be added to the waiting list at any time.
10-14-20  The puppies of Lilly’s who will be available for reservation on Saturday at 10:00 am via email only are Carlos, Harley, and Cubby. 
10-10-20  I got the remaining 2 tests back and the puppies belong to Bilbo, not Scout.  So the score is………Bilbo-6  Scout-1
10-10-20. Finally!  Results are in.  Well, at least most of them.  5 of 7 to be exact!  Of the 5 puppies who’s results are in, 4 of them have Bilbo as a father and one has Scout.  Liam (orange) and Cubby (silver) have no results yet.  I think Liam is standard and Cubby is medium, but we will see if I am right or not.  I was right on MOST of my guesses.   I notified everyone on my waiting list and it looks like I might have 2, or possibly 3 available. 
So, I will be opening up my list to 5 people at 10:00 on Saturday, October 17 by email ONLY.    Don’t get excited and text or call because that won’t put you on the list. I will respond to everyone, but the first 5 people who email at 10:00 and not a second earlier will receive a waiting list form to fill out and return along with a $300 deposit.   If you don’t get on this list, I expect 2 litters of medium sized puppies and 3 litters of minis by the spring of 2021.  
10-4-20  Gabbi and Sophie’s puppies have all gone to their new homes except one who is leaving Monday morning.  They grow up and leave home so fast!   
I called Paw Print Genetics to check on Lilly’s puppies’ DNA test and they told me it should be completed by October 9.  I have never had it take this long for test results and I apologize.  As soon as I get word from them, I will announce it to you.  I am as eager to get the results as all of you who would like to get on her list and get a puppy!  After Lilly’s litter, I have no more litters coming till possibly Tinkerbell in December.  She has not gone into heat, but as soon as she is bred, I will let you know. 
We do have a few new dogs growing up to be mommies, but they are just beginning preliminary hip testing at the end of this month since they are over a year old.  If they pass, the will be added to the list of possible mothers.  We have Bailey and Cleo who are full sisters and half sisters to Tinkerbell.  Cleo will be bred for standard F1B goldendoodles and Bailey will be bred for F1B medium goldendoodles.  We also have Arya, a mini F1 goldendoodle, who will be bred for F1B minis.  All three of these girls have the capability of producing parti colored or abstract goldendoodles.  We also have Artemis, an F1 Bernedoodle who will be bred for standard F1B Bernedoodles.  Finally, we have a 4 month golden retriever named Rosie, who will need a year more to grow and develop!  She is going to be a big girl and will be bred for standard F1 goldendoodles. 
9-16-20  Jasmine went home yesterday to her forever home and is loving her new life of luxury!  She has earned her wonderful retirement!
I still have no DNA results on Lilly’s puppies yet!  I am eagerly watching the website daily!  They are really starting to waddle around and even try kibble!
Gabbi and Sophie’s puppies are all reserved and chosen except the last 2 and I should know who is getting them this weekend.  My next litter of minis will be in February, hopefully.  If you are looking to get on a list for minis, check the website in January for announcements regarding the opening of my wait lists.   
I am still waiting for Tinkerbell to go into heat for medium sized pups near December.  I should be opening a list in November for that litter.  All of my waiting lists are closed unless you already own a Quartz Mountain Pup.  If you do and you are wanting another puppy, you can get on a waiting list any time you chose!
9-2-20  DNA tests are being sent out on Lilly’s pups.  I hope to know which are standard and which are medium by the end of September.  Gabbi and Sophie’s pups are all playing outside and eating solid food and growing well.  It is hard to get work done with all those puppies jumping at my ankles!  I learned today that spraying cement pens is not a good idea while wearing Crocs.  Who knew they were so slippery!  There are new photos of Sophie’s pups and Lilly’s too!  Enjoy!
8-25-20  Lilly had puppies yesterday!  She has 6 boys and 1 girl.  Mommy and babies are doing well.  The colors range from light apricot to a dark red.  I will be sending off the DNA tests later this week and hope to have results back by mid September when I will open her waiting list. 
Gabbi’s puppies are wandering outside a bit and I have just posted new photos of them.  I hope to do some new photos of Sophie’s puppies in the next few days as well.  I will begin setting appointments for people on their list to come visit and pick out their babies in a couple of weeks.
8-10-20  Sophie has had her puppies!  She actually delivered 9 healthy puppies while we were at my cousin’s house for dinner!  We came back home last Sunday to 4 girls and 5 boys!  Sophie is being a very attentive mommy and all of her babies, though small, are doing well.  She actually jumped the fence between her and Gabbi’s pen and had 3 of her babies in with Gabbi and her chubby babies. 
Gabbi’s babies are beginning to open their little eyes.  I hope to do individual photos in the next couple of days. 
Lilly is definitely pregnant and is due on August 18.  She is not huge, so I am not expecting a large litter.  Of course, Sophie was tiny and gave us 9 pups.  We were all very surprised about that! I will DNA test them as soon as I can so that I know which are medium and which are standard.  At that time, I will be able to open my waiting list.  I expect that to be about mid September.  
7-28-20  Gabbi surprised me on Sunday by delivering 9 puppies on Sunday, 4 days before her due date!  All pups and momma are doing well.  There are 7 boys and 2 girls.  The girls came first and I was so excited thinking that I would have lots of girls for all the people on the waiting list who prefer girls, but all the rest of the pups were boys!  So many things we can’t control!  We are so happy with all 9 beautiful little babies! 
Sophie is due on August 8 and she is looking a little like a goat!  I am hoping Lilly is pregnant.  She’s at the stage where she looks wider in the chest area, but I’m not sure if she is pregnant or just chubby!  
7-21-20  We want to thank everyone who emailed yesterday.  Within the first 2 minutes of the list opening up, we had over 40 inquiries for only 3 spots.  Needless to say, we felt terrible breaking so many people’s hearts! Our waiting list for minis is closed until January 2021.
Gabbi is getting very large and I am sure that she is having more than her normal 5 puppies.  Sophie is also growing, but I really don’t have a feel for how many puppies she is carrying right now.  Lilly is still an unknown.  Sometimes I think she is pregnant and other times I wonder…. Three of our young girls just went out of heat, so in 6 months, when they go into heat again, they can be bred.   
Jasmine’s 4 puppies are going home this weekend and they are growing like weeds!
7-11-20  Paisley went home with her new family this morning.  She gets to bask in the attention from 4 people and her daughter, Ginger.  She will be missed.  She was my first goldendoodle mother!  She is a sweet, calm, loving girl.
7-9-20  Sophie is pregnant as well as Gabbi.  I have 8 people on my list for the litters.  In the past, both dogs have given me 5 puppies each, so I am expecting the same number of puppies this time, but hoping one of them gives me 6 pups!  We will see! 
I will be opening the waiting list for the first 3 names of the people who email me beginning at 10 am on Monday, July 20.   NO ONE will be placed on the list before that time and date.  I will respond to your email on the 20th as soon as I can with a form and instructions on placing a deposit.  Our email is quartzmountainpoodles@gmail.com.  
Lilly has been bred and should be giving me some standard as well as some medium goldendoodles.  I will be testing the puppies’ DNA to see how many of each size I have before I open up Lilly’s waiting list.  I expect to know the results mid September.
6-30-20  I am pleased to announce that Gabbi is indeed pregnant and due to have pups on July 31!  Yeah!  I am so happy about this!  I should know about Sophie in a couple of weeks.  When I know, I will let you all know.  At this point, because Tinkerbell didn’t have her litter as expected, people have moved over to the mini list and I might have 2 openings for Sophie’s list.  I do expect more pups in spring of 2021.
6-23-20  I just want everyone who is being so patient about upcoming mini goldendoodle litters that when My list opens up, I will only have room for 2 or 3 people.  I wish I had more room, but I just don’t.  However, Gabbi, Sophie and my new girl, Arya, will hopefully be having more litters around February of 2021.  I will be posting photos of Arya later this week.  She has passed her genetic tests and now I just need to wait till she is a year old and test her hips and elbows.
6-22-20  Jasmine’s pups have opened their eyes and are beginning to really move about.  They’ve discovered their voices and it is adorable!
I am cautiously optimistic that Gabbi  is pregnant.  She seems to be widening out, but it is still a little early to confirm.  Sophie and Lilly have also been bred, so we will just sit back and wait to see if they start to “blossom”!
5-3-20  Paisley’s last puppy goes home tomorrow.  All the rest went home Friday and Saturday.  Its a little sad, but I know how much they are loved in their new homes.
Jasmine is definitely pregnant and due around June 5.  I’m not sure about Gabbi yet, but I should know in a couple of weeks.
4-14-20  Paisley’s puppies are in the selection process and are as cute as can be!  Gabbi, Jasmine and Tinkerbell have been bred, but it is much to early to determine pregnancy.  Gabbi’s waiting list is closed.  I am waiting to tell if she is pregnant.  If she is, I will be opening up the list for Sophie’s next litter.
We are actively seeking guardian homes for several girls so that they will get more attention than we can give them at this time.   We love our dogs, but feel they would be happier being part of a home.
Tigerlilly went to her new home in North Hollywood.
3-7-20    Paisley had 7 beautiful puppies on Friday, the 6th.  This is her very last litter and she will be retiring to live in the lap of luxury after they are weaned.  Selection time for Sophie’s litter is beginning on Sunday and Lilly’s pups will be chosen beginning with next weekend.
7-8-19 Jasmine’s last puppy was sold today and went home to Sunnyvale!
Lilly had 10 puppies on July 3 and they are all growing nicely!  Tigerlilly is due later this week and Tinkerbell is due about a week later.  Sophie is definitely pregnant and due at the end of the month.
4-9-19  Gabbi is looking nice and round.  I am so looking forward to her pups since she hasn’t had any for awhile.
We got another dark red mini F1 goldendoodle named Sophie.  When she came to us from Michigan, she needed a haircut and the groomer shaved her!  So, I’ve been waiting to take pictures of her as her hair grows out.  She’s looking pretty good now, so pictures will be coming soon!
2-23-19  Tinkerbell is definitely pregnant and her tummy is starting to feel like an inflated basketball.  She is due on March 8 and I can’t wait to meet the puppies!
1-15-19  Paisley had 10 puppies on Sunday!  5 girls and 5 boys!  She is an amazing, loving mommy.  One of the little boys was not breathing when it was born and we had to massage it and suction out the nose and mouth, but he was still very lethargic.  After tube feeding every 2-3 hours, he finally started making noise and moving around at 2:30 in the morning.  Now, he is back with his mother, nursing and acting like everyone else!
1-4-19       Rosebud’s 13 puppies are starting to waddle around and open their eyes.  They are looking more adorable every day.  Paisley is looking more and more uncomfortable and is due on the 12th, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she delivers earlier.
8-3-18         We had an ultrasound on Tigerlilly and Gabbi and both girls are pregnant.  The vet says Gabbi has at least 8 puppies and Tigerlilly has about 6.   Tigerlilly’s list is full, but I have 3 spaces available for Gabbi.
7-31-18      All of Lilly’s puppies are reserved.  Our next litter of minis will be with either Gabbi or Tigerlilly.  They are having ultrasounds to confirm pregnancies this coming Thursday.
7-30-18           We have 2 mini/medium males available and 6 standard sized males available.  Paisley’s puppies are ready to be viewed as well She has 3 males and 6 females.
7-11-18          We have three litters of puppies keeping us busy.  Rosie’s puppies just had their first taste of real food and thoroughly approved!  Paisley’s puppies just had their dewclaws removed and Lilly’s puppies are moving out of their whelping box into the great big, wide world of their puppy pen.
7-7-18          Gabbi and Tigerlilly have been bred.  I should know if they are pregnant near the end of August.
6-6-18           We have 2 black f1 standard goldendoodle puppies available.
Lilly and Rosie are due in a couple of weeks and both are getting round and slowing down.
