Happy Puppies Galore...

The secret to happy doodles and happy paw-rents starts right here!

Hi there! We’re Beth and Joe, the humans behind Beechwood Goldendoodles and welcome to our blog. Over the years, these curly, goofy, lovable pups have taught us more than we could ever squeeze into one blog—but we sure do love trying. Sometimes our posts are practical (think training tips and health hacks), sometimes they’re just plain silly (because, well… Goldendoodles). Either way, our hope is to sprinkle a little joy into your journey as a dog parent.

And just when you think you already know everything about how your doodle thinks—do you really? Let’s see…

🐾 Would you rather share your snack with me… or let me lick the spoon when you’re done?

🐶 Would you rather play fetch until the sun goes down… or snuggle under a blanket until the sun comes up?

🦴 Would you rather give me belly rubs… or let me cover your face in puppy kisses?

See what we mean? There’s always a little more doodle magic to discover.

I still remember bringing home our very first Goldendoodle, Lucy. She was the sweetest little pup—until she saw a man with a beard. Suddenly, my gentle girl turned into Kujo, barking like the world was ending! At the time, I had no idea why she reacted that way, and I quickly realized I had a lot to learn about raising a confident puppy.

That’s when I discovered just how crucial the first 16 weeks of a puppy’s life are. During this window, puppies are little sponges, absorbing sights, sounds, and experiences that can shape their personalities for life. Introducing them to new people, environments, and even beards—gently and positively—helps them grow into happy, fearless adults. Looking back, Lucy’s dramatic reaction makes me laugh now, but it also reminds me why we focus on early socialization with every pup in our care.

Whether it’s meeting strangers, hearing thunder, or seeing the mailman, those early experiences set the stage for confident, joyful doodles—and maybe a little silliness along the way.

And hey, if you don’t have a Goldendoodle in your life just yet—don’t worry. Stick around, laugh with us, and when you’re ready, hop over to our Upcoming Litters page to meet your future best friend. Most of all, join us here as we share doodle stories, tips, and a little puppy mischief—because life with a Goldendoodle is never boring, and that’s exactly the way we like it.

P.S. If you’re about to bring a puppy home, stay tuned for our Puppy 911: Week One Survival Series. We’ll cover everything from potty training, barking, and teething nips and bites, to what to consider if you’re thinking about getting two puppies—or even a puppy for Christmas.

So, Come Along With Us!

PUPPIES!
