Little lessons, big progress! 🐾❤️ You can almost see those little wheels turning as Joy processes her “sit” and “down” commands! 🧠 We incorporate short training sessions throughout the day, focusing on repetition, consistency, praise, and rewards. It’s so fun watching her confidence grow as she learns! Sweet Joy is still waiting for her perfect family to continue learning and growing with. Could that be you? 🥰 I’d love to schedule a Zoom so you can meet her!

🐾 Like Mother, Like Daughter! ❤️ The apple didn’t fall far from the tree! 🍎 I was looking back at puppy pictures of Sasha, Joy’s mama, and couldn’t believe the resemblance! Both photos were taken at 12 weeks old. Although Sasha was about 5 pounds heavier at that age, those sweet eyes and adorable expressions are so much alike! 🥹 Joy is now the very last puppy from Sasha’s final Legacy Litter still looking for her forever family! ❤️ At 12 weeks old and just 9 pounds, Joy is growing into such a sweet little girl. She’s received her third round of vaccinations, been dewormed, and recently received a clean bill of health from our veterinarian! She’s had a wonderful start with early socialization, daily handling, and foundational training. Now all she needs is a family to call her own. 🏡💕 Could you be the family Joy has been waiting for? We’d love to introduce you to her through a Zoom visit! 🐾❤️

And then there were two… 🐾🤎 Joy & Spirit are 12 weeks old and still waiting for the families meant for them! While they wait, the learning continues—leash work, sitting, eye contact, crate routines, socialization and lots of everyday life experiences. These two have very different personalities and sizes, but both are sweet, loving multigenerational Goldendoodles with wonderful foundations already in place. 📍 Tennessee Happy Tails by TJ 🐾

Today I’m flying sweet Winnie, formerly Hope, to Virginia to meet her new family! I love being able to personally accompany my puppies when families need flight-nanny delivery. It allows them to travel safely in the cabin with me and gives me the privilege of seeing them all the way to their new family. From her first days with me to this very special one, Winnie has been loved, prepared, and cared for every step of the way. ❤️ Next stop: her forever family! 🏡

🍂 Grace is growing into her doodle look! If you notice Grace has a more Poodle-looking muzzle right now, her genetic testing shows that she carries furnishings—the trait responsible for that signature doodle beard, brows and fluffy face. Those furnishings should become more noticeable as she grows and her adult coat comes in. 🐾 Beyond that adorable face, Grace is incredibly affectionate, loves being held and wants to be close to her people. She’s expected to mature around 30 lbs and is still looking for her perfect family. ❤️

Waiting for his family doesn’t mean the learning stops. 💙🐾 Spirit is continuing to work on his puppy skills! Today’s training included luring, following on leash, sitting when his handler stops, and checking in with eye contact. We keep these sessions short, positive and fun while building the foundation for good leash manners and engagement with his person. He’s learning. He’s growing. And he’s still waiting for his family to find him. Spirit is available! 🐾

Joy is 11 weeks old and still looking for her family. She’s a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being near her people and has such a fun, playful side. While she waits for her family, we’re continuing to build on the foundation she’ll take home with her. We’ve recently started working on leash manners, along with continuing crate time, potty training, handling, and everyday confidence-building. I’ll be sharing a little peek at her leash training soon! 🐾 Joy is a medium multigenerational Goldendoodle and is expected to mature around 25–35 lbs.

11 weeks old today! ❤️ Spirit enjoyed a little fall photo shoot to celebrate. 🍂 This sweet boy is still available and waiting to meet his family.

A little Joy for your Tuesday 🖤🍂 I snapped this picture of Joy today and couldn’t resist sharing. 🥹 We’re down to just 3 puppies still looking for their families — 2 girls and 1 boy. I just updated their photos on my Good Dog profile, too, because they are changing so quickly at this age! And yes… getting two puppies to look at the camera at the same time is apparently too much to ask. 😂

A little mama appreciation 💜 🐾 This is Sasha, mama to our Legacy Litter and if you’ve been following Hope, Joy and Grace, you might notice something familiar. The girls are already starting to show those little touches of silver/gray around their muzzles, just like their mama. I can’t wait to see how their beautiful black coats change and develop as they grow. Sasha has given us such a special final litter, and a few of her babies are still waiting for the families they’ll get to grow up with. There’s something extra special about getting a little piece of their mama in each one. 🐾 Hope • Joy • Grace Our remaining Legacy girls

Tammie was a joy to work with. It's been 10 years since we've had a dog. But now, my partner and I are in our retirement years, and have lots of time to devote to a new puppy. Tammie helped us find the right dog with the perfect personality to meet our needs. Our Winnie is the pride and joy of our life now. Tammie even flew her to Richmond to help make the transition less arduous. The love and attention she gives to each puppy is very obvious. It made it easy for us to continue training Winnie once she arrived. Winnie is now living her best life with us. Thank you Tammie for helping us make our family complete.

Tammie is the best breeder I’ve ever dealt with. She responded to all my questions and concerns in a speedy manner. Sent pictures and videos showing my puppies growth progress and how she interacted with her brothers and sisters. Thank you Tammie for my previous puppy. She’s already a joy and light in my life.

Tammie was an amazing breeder to work with! She responded so fast and helped answer all our questions! She has so much knowledge and taught us first time dog owners a lot! We are so so thankful for our little dood scout! He’s precious, and Tammie made the process and transition so easy!💕🐶

Tammie has been great to work with since day one. Within a few hours of contacting her for the first time we were on a zoom call meeting some of the pups. She has been timely and responsive ever since. After we made our pick, she provided us with frequent updates, pics, and videos of our new girl as we anxiously waited for our pick up day. The process really couldn't have gone smoother! The love and attention she puts into these puppies is very obvious and we highly recommend her!

Tammie has been the best breeder I have worked with! She has gone above and beyond to send me videos and pictures of my sweet boy, Sawyer. to show how well taken care off and loved he is. She is very responsive on all the questions I have had. If you are looking for a top notch breeder, she is definitely the one. Thank you so much Tammie for the wonderful experience!

Tammie is truly so amazing!! She kept me updated with pictures of my baby before he came home and helped me with all the information to support him in the best way. You can tell she really cares about her pups and the care they will recieve when they go to new homes. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Tammie!!
