✨ 4 Weeks Old ✨

Maizy’s beautiful babies are now 4 weeks old and changing every day.

What started as tiny newborns is quickly becoming a litter full of curious little personalities. The puppies are now confidently exploring their world, enjoying puppy pudding and goat milk, playing with their littermates, and greeting us with the sweetest tail wags.

This is one of our favourite stages—watching them learn, interact, and discover new experiences with growing confidence. As well as the night time pre sleep shenanigans 😂.

We are so proud of how well this litter is developing and of the beautiful job Maizy continues to do as their mum. ❤️

🐾 We only have 2 boys left for allocation for this litter.

Stay tuned for more puppy adventures as these little darlings continue to grow!

Thank you for following along on their journey and for all the lovely support. 🐶💕

🐶🤎 Three weeks already 🐾

Our little Darling crew are absolutely thriving and growing so beautifully. Watching these tiny babies transform from sleepy newborns into curious, interactive little puppies is one of the greatest joys of breeding.

At 3 weeks old:
✨ Eyes and ears are fully open
✨ Little personalities are starting to emerge
✨ They’re beginning to wobble around confidently
✨ Early socialisation and enrichment has begun
✨ And as you can see… they are gaining weight beautifully 💛 and they love having soft toys to snuggle and sniff in their enclosure.

We monitor every puppy closely from birth, including daily weights in those critical early weeks, because healthy growth is such an important indicator of wellbeing and strong development.

Swipe through to see how each baby is progressing — little Tanko, Spike, Gabe, Eve, Remmy, Trix & Ella are all doing wonderfully.

It’s such a privilege to raise these babies inside our home with so much love, care, handling and intention from day one.

🐶 If you’d love a Darling puppy of your very own, we welcome you to complete an application through our website or RightPaw page. There’s absolutely no obligation — just an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss whether one of our babies may be the perfect fit 🐾✨

🧡🐶After a year away from working with puppies— a year filled with challenges, multiple surgeries, pain, loss, recovery, and a big move — I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been officially cleared by my surgeons and physio to return to doing what I love most.
🧡🐶Breeding and raising Darling Labradoodles🧡🐶

To ease back in, I’ll be welcoming (fingers crossed!) a litter of Mini puppies around mid-January 2026.
I couldn’t be more excited to get back into the rhythm of puppy paws, training, and all the joy that comes with it.
This past year has been one of the hardest of my life — both physically and emotionally. There were moments I wasn’t sure I’d get here. But I did, thanks to the love and support of my incredible family, dearest friends, and my beautiful community of Guardian families, Darling Puppy owners (here in Australia and overseas), and loyal followers.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for your patience, encouragement, and love. I feel it deeply, and I’m endlessly grateful for all the messages and visits.

Here’s to new beginnings, healing, and happy, wagging tails ahead. 🐾💫
With love,
Josie

Things have been quiet at Darling HQ since our last litter in September. On November 1, I had shoulder reconstruction surgery, and was in a sling for almost 10 weeks. Unfortunately that surgery has failed.
My shoulder is currently incredibly painful, very unstable and the joint has been bleeding internally. So I’m now being scheduled for a Total Reverse Shoulder Replacement and will need to take more time off to recovery.

We’ve postponed our litters with Maizy and Parry— so I’m sending a huge thank you to their amazing guardian families for understanding, that I won’t risk the health of our mums or puppies while my arm is not functioning properly. 🙏🏻

Everyone on our waitlist has been informed and have also shown such kindness and grace.

And lastly a heartfelt thank you to my family, both real and chosen—your support over these past months has meant the world to me, during what’s been a painful and challenging time.

In the meantime, I’ll share throwbacks and puppy videos—and I’ll be back on deck with puppies as soon as I’m able.

Enjoy memories from Sisters Bonny & Marley and their 2 golden litters back in mid 2022 🐶💛
