First backyard adventure! 🐾 The Legacy Litter is officially 5 weeks old, and today they got to explore the backyard for the very first time! New smells, new textures, lots of room to wander…and they absolutely loved it. ❤️ With slightly cooler weather finally headed our way this week, I’m looking forward to giving them time outside to explore, play, and experience a whole new part of their world. Something tells me these little ones are going to LOVE their outdoor adventures. 😂🐾

A little grooming practice today! ✂️i Today the puppies spent some time on the grooming table getting brushed, having a little trim around their eyes, and—just as importantly—getting familiar with the sound and vibration of the clippers. At this age, I’m not looking for perfect grooming manners. I’m simply giving them positive, gentle exposure to being handled, standing on the table, having their face and paws touched, and hearing those unfamiliar grooming sounds. Goldendoodles will spend a lot of time being brushed and groomed throughout their lives, so making these experiences familiar now can help build confidence and make future grooming appointments a little easier. Just another small piece of preparing them for life beyond my home. ❤️🐾

Davy is almost 8 weeks old! ❤️ This sweet boy has had his vet exam, received his first vaccinations and is getting ready for go-home week. He’s such a loving little guy with the sweetest expression and beautiful white markings. Davy is still looking for his forever family and is ready to go home this week. 🐾 Located in Portland, TN, and flight nanny delivery is available within the U.S. ✈️

Some have a breakfast buddy, some have a crate to themselves, but everyone is getting more comfortable going in and out and learning that crates are a pretty good place to be. ❤️ Just another little bit of preparation before several of these babies head home this week! 🥹

A little outdoor playtime while the temperatures allow! ☀️🐾 With the extreme heat we’ve been having here in Tennessee, our outside time has been much shorter than usual. We’re taking advantage of the cooler windows when we can. That has made outdoor potty training a little more challenging, but these pups haven’t missed a beat! They’re doing amazing with the potty pan inside their playpen, which gives them a great foundation as we continue working toward going potty outside. They’re growing, learning, playing, and getting more fun by the day. ❤️ Four of these sweet pups are still looking for their forever families. If you’ve been following along and wondering if one might be yours, I’d love to chat!

Thunderstorms kept us inside most of the day, so we traded outdoor playtime for a little crate practice! ⛈️🐾 Today was their first time eating their meals in the crates, and I pretty much let them figure it out at their own pace. Some marched right in by themselves, some decided sharing a crate was much more fun, and a few said, “Nope, I’ll just eat out here.” 😂 And apparently one puppy thought eating dinner was exhausting because he sprawled out and ate lying down. 🤣 Right now, there’s no pressure and no expectation that they stay inside alone. I simply want the crates to become a familiar, positive place where good things happen. We’ll keep practicing with meals and eventually naps, gradually helping each puppy feel comfortable settling in on their own. Not exactly the rainy-day activity I had planned…but a pretty productive one! ❤️🐾

Tammie is the best breeder I could’ve asked for. She walked us through the entire process and always sent updates along the way. She was able to answer all of our questions and was able to talk to her over text and zoom. We have waited a very long time to make sure that we had the right breeder before committing to a dog and Tammie was the perfect match. She cares so much about pups throughout their entire journey with intentional learning and development for the dogs to grow happy and healthy. I would recommend Tammie to anyone who is interested in doodles!
