Litter and program updates
Jessica V.
Litter update on 23 Oct. •…First Outdoor Exploration Our multigenerational Micro Goldendoodle puppies enjoyed their very first time outside today! At 5 weeks old, they’re beginning important early socialization experiences that help shape their confidence and adaptability as they grow. Exposure to new environments—like feeling grass under their paws, hearing outdoor sounds, and exploring safely under supervision—helps them develop into well-rounded, curious, and resilient companions. Each puppy handled the new sights and textures beautifully, showing off their sweet temperaments and playful curiosity. We’re thrilled with their progress so far and can’t wait for families to continue watching their development over the coming weeks as they prepare for their forever homes.

Litter update on 23 May •…These pups are getting so big! We introduced potty trays this week to start the first step of potty training. This teaches them to go potty in a certain area and sleep in another area and they have been doing great. They will have their first experience with puppy mush tomorrow to start the first step of weaning from mom ❤️

+6I have always wanted a puppy, but was always weary of breeders. When I found Jessica on Good Dog we instantly connected as she was very open and transparent about her practice and intentions of breeding. She was extremely responsive to my millions of questions daily, and she even kept me in the loop during the puppies birth with pictures and updates. I chose one of the female puppies and it’s is apparent that these puppies were conditioned well to noises, handled well for sensory, and crate and mostly outside potty trained (fully potty pad trained), before coming home. Mia is such a little joy. She already knew the command sit from the breeder and does it very obediently, which I honestly was surprised about. Mia is also very independent, and while she will still follow me around, I can walk to the kitchen while she sleeps on the couch and she won’t cry or get up to follow. She is a very well adjusted puppy for 8 weeks, and while she will still need training (as all puppies do), I feel like she is off to a great start bc I got her from such a wonderful intentional family. If you are looking for a puppy, and no she didn’t tell me to say any of this ( trust me I was skeptical the entire time before actually getting the puppy), you won’t be disappointed. Jessica clearly loves her dogs and puppies immensely, and worked with them daily to make their transitions to their forever homes easier. Mia was calm the entire 7 hour ride home and slept through the first night in the crate 9-5 without a peep. Jessica’s post puppy coming home support has also been stellar. I do not feel alone and that eases my anxieties when I am unsure of anything puppy related! So happy I decided to trust her and take home my little Mia!

Jessica was awesome, she was very responsive from the first message to video updates. She had 2 puppies available and I couldn’t decide however after I told her what I was looking for she recommended Dutton. He has been a little lover as well as a playmate to his big brother. Jessica offered to meet half way which made it easy. Dutton came home and immediately claimed the kennel as his before running off to explore the yard. It has only been a few days but he has become a part of the family 😍

I have a hard time imagining a better experience with a breeder. Jessi TRULY loves her dogs and their puppies, and cares for the puppies like they were her own babies. I’m not kidding, she loves them to death. There isn’t a spec of what you might fear from a breeder in her - that is - being in it for money. She didn’t push buying on us, or try to convince us, and in fact, did things that were so clearly for the well being of the puppy and not focused on getting our money that it is hard to believe she wasn’t just doing this for charity. It is so obvious she does this because she LOVES these puppies, and she raised our puppy so well that he hasn’t had a single house potty accident and is already potty trained!! And so obedient to coming when we call, to sitting… it is too good to be true, yet it is. Jessi responded to all of our questions immediately during the whole process, and has been so helpful from the start to now that we have him at home as she continues to answer any questions. She got us dinner when we had a bad weather experience getting to her house and got there much later than planned - and her dogs are SO well behaved and adorable. They bring so much joy. And she is so good at training them. We love our little puppy to death - he has the PERFECT temperament, is unbelievably adorable, and without a doubt I would never recommend a breeder over Jessi!! She isn’t paying me to say this hahaha. Go to gracious doodle dogs if you get the chance!!!!! Seriously!!!
