Pete and (Cherry Blossom Barbie) Girl 🍒, our keeper puppies from our Sweet Pea x Toby ‘24 litter, had their OFA hips and elbows examined today. The vet said they both looked good, but we’ll get the determination from OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) in a few weeks.

Pete and Girl turned two at the end of March, and we are hoping they will be the next generation of our program. We’ve begun our search for Girl’s stud and are considering which other bloodlines to bring into our program for Pete.

OFA eyes are tomorrow but OFA hearts aren’t until November, due to staffing at the cardiologist.

🍳Breakfast outside on this beautiful Michigan day!

✂️ Everyone got their nails clipped this afternoon + a sweet individual play session with mama Tulip up on our deck, where she taught them about cobbing/love nibbles. 🥰

🥬 This afternoon they also each smelled spinach, cilantro, arugula, and butter lettuce growing in our garden, and they were totally unfazed by Ted mowing the yard around them.

📸 Photos are from this morning :)

It was all for one and one for all while the puppies ate their lunch outside yesterday.

We brought out some frozen duck wings for the puppies while we had a family visit today. 🦆 They were a crowd hit, including mama Tulip. 🌷

🐾 5-Week Pupdate on our Tulip x Toby ‘26 Michigan Field-Bred Golden Retrievers. 🐾

Our puppies are 5 weeks old and growing fast! We’re right in the middle of the critical socialization period, and each day is full of learning and fun. So far, they have had three visits with future families. 🌷

🧠 Brain & Body Development
Following Puppy Culture and Puppy Brain principles, we’re focusing on:
* Confidence-building with new surfaces, smells, sounds, and gentle challenges
* Startle recovery and problem-solving games
* Early crate exposure to build comfort and calm
* Potty training
* Noise desensitization

🦮 Social Skills
Puppy play is in full swing! They’re learning:
* Bite inhibition
* Communication and boundaries with siblings
* Introduction to adult dog social cues from our calm, trusted pack members

🍽️ Weaning & Training
We’re starting floated solid food today, but Tulip is still nursing them several times a day and in the night! Mealtimes are also mini training sessions—teaching focus, patience, and engagement. #

🌿 Outdoor Time
Michigan weather has allowed for supervised outdoor adventures. The puppies are experiencing new smells, sights, sounds, and textures to help them grow into confident companions.

🎧 Sound training is fully underway and going great with puppy desensitization playlists :)

We’re building a strong foundation for resilient, well-rounded field-bred Golden Retrievers.

😍 Thank you for following along. Each day new adventures await!
