Cedar Bend Labradoodles

Yesterday we made a trip down to my parents farm in Muscatine. They live about an hour away. The puppies, aside from a little whining in their kennel, did very well on the trip down! We had lots of visitors come see the puppies! We had at least 15 people come out to visit and play with them, and the puppies had a great time following the kids around in the yard. They do very well coming when they are called! And love to play "follow the leader". Today they have spent mos

The puppies are seven weeks old today! Have you noticed them not on the camera much lately? Thats because we have been spending a lot of time outside or playing in the kitchen, I try to only put them in their pen when they are ready to sleep. We have been very busy this week! Three puppies took a road trip to Muscatine (about an hour and 15 minutes away) to play with a group of kids. My Mom runs an after school camp, so we decided to pay them a visit.

When I first started researching the Australian Labradoodle, I came across a breeder that offered puppy socialization play dates to her community. It was a way to introduce the breed to people in her town, but also a fun way to socialize the puppies to people outside of the immediate home. I remember thinking what a great idea that was!

We make sure

The Cedar Bend Labradoodle puppies are five weeks old! We have been enjoying them so much! They are certainly developing their personalities more everyday and it is fun watching them grow and explore the world around them. I go back and forth about who I want to keep everyday, they are all so wonderful it is a hard choice! I don't think I can make a wrong decision with this bunch though, so I know whoever I end up with will be perfect. We feed the puppies twice a day

The puppies had their first road trip today! A few nights ago I messaged Tori Wild, an amazing local photographer who specializes in newborns, if she would be interested in photographing a different kind of newborn, one with a bit more fur, and she agreed! Check out her amazing work here, http://www.wildphotographybytori.com So we loaded up the puppies and off we went! I was a little nervous how they would act as they have never been anywhere other then our house and ou
