Upcoming Litters
Is Your New Pup About to be Born?
The best way to start the process of getting a puppy is by filling out a puppy application, it helps us understand your needs so we can align you with the perfect puppy for you.
Below are our upcoming litters and their approximate timeframes.
Primrose & Oliver’s Litter
Expected Spring 2025
We are currently taking deposits!
“When I needed a hand, I found your paw.”
Tamarack’s Primrose
21″ at the shoulder, approximately 45 lbs.
Red Paw’s Oliver
Certified Therapy Dog, CGC
18″ at the shoulder, 26 lbs.
Size & Color
We expect these puppies to range from 30-50 lbs. about 18-21 inches at the shoulder. They are the perfect size dog, not so little they are delicate, but not so big that they require other accommodations. The perfect size for therapy, service, and to wrestle with kids.
Temperament & Personality
These pups will be confident and calm, like their parents. Temperament is surprisingly genetic and these parents are passing on the best genes for the job. They will be low in reactivity and emotionally stable. Of course all puppies have their own personalities, but that’s why we do temperament testing.
Activity & Lifestyle
These pups will thrive in homes where they are involved in the day-to-day activities of the family, whether that’s therapy work, service work, or as the perfect, make-your-friends-jealous companions. They will do well with kids, but will also thrive in a home where the family is gone to work during the day. They want to be with you and involved in your day.
We’re Excited for this Litter!
We took Primrose on a road trip … a 13 hour drive to meet her new beau, Oliver. We are so excited to bring Oliver’s lines into our breeding program. Not only is he certified with Canine Good Citizen, but he is a certified therapy dog through TDI’s certification program.
We love how Oliver adores people. He is sweet and attentive, paying attention and reading the room. He tends to be on the lower-energy side of Poodles, which is more accommodating for therapy work, but also benefits busy families.
We’ve always loved Prim and her gentle demeanor. She loves to be involved, but if you are busy, she doesn’t push, she’ll patiently wait for your affections. She is very relaxed. When she’s out in public, she isn’t distracted by what is going on around her, instead she is focused, aware of her surroundings, but never loses track of me and what we’re doing. Making her an excellent mama for therapy puppies.
Together we expect to have a litter of amazing therapy-quality puppies. We were able to place five puppies out of Primrose’s last litter into either therapy or service work. We expect similar results with this litter and we’d love to help you get the perfect dog for your family.
