Litter update on 19 Jan •…The teacup Maltipoo‘s are doing fantastic. They’re one week old today and growing like little weeds. Mommy is 4 a pounds maltipoo and Daddy is 5 pounds poodle so they’re expected to stay very tiny. We only have one little boy left available if you’re interested reach out to us.

Litter update on 18 Jan •…Our toy Cavapoo‘s are doing amazing. They are three weeks old now we still have two boys and one girl left available if you’re looking for a new best friend that will be in the 5 to 10 pound range. That’s perfect to play with your children not so big they would knock your kids down and hurt them, but they’re not so little and fragile that you have to worry about the kids hurting them on accident. We’re located in Cottondale Florida. That’s in Northwest Florida. Please reach out and let us know if you have any other questions or if you would like to plan a visit or even FaceTime so you can meet the puppies and the parents and myself.

Coper and Winnie's litter

Litter update on 17 Jan •…The teacup multiPoo boys are growing and doing fantastic. They will be one week old on Monday. It’s kind of hard to tell what they’re gonna look like when they’re so tiny. I thought I would include a picture of mom and dad and one of their full siblings from a previous litter so you would know what they will look like at eight weeks old. Their siblings were around 1 1/2 pounds at eight weeks when it was time to go home.

Ann R.
Verified owner · Sept. 2025
Patricia was very easy to work with, great communication and constant updates. Her home and yard is set up for the small amount of dogs she breeds in a caring and open way. The dogs are in and out of her house enjoying their life. The parent dogs are clearly happy and healthy. The puppy we bought came home happy and healthy.
