At 2 weeks of age, these labradoodle puppies from the Haute Couture litter at Van Isle Labradoodles are just starting to open their eyes.
As breeders, we get very excited when our puppies’ eyes open. We refer to this time as their second birth. Once puppy eyes are visible, it seems their personalities are able to be seen too.
While these little labradoodles have their eyes open, they still can’t really see too much. They are able to make out shapes and shadows and begin to associate those shapes with different scents. It doesn’t take long before the puppies are able to recognize us as their breeder parents through our scent and shape as well as their labradoodle Mama, Ripple.

We have nicknamed these puppies the sausages because the puppies are all so lovely and plump. You can really tell with this group that their day is comprised of eating and sleeping only! We handle the puppies throughout the day as this assists with their emotional development and ability to deal with new situations in a positive manner.
Ripple continues to do a spectacular job with her spectacular litter. We are so pleased with the colours and patterns from Ripple and Armani. At this point we are saying there is one sable phantom, 1 chocolate phantom, 1 chocolate with tan markings and the one red caramel. This may change going forward. Sable is a colour that is not always evident initially and sometimes may take up to several weeks to be visible.
| Puppy ID | Current Weight | Weight Gain | Notes/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue | 899 g | 444 g | Still a quiet fellow. Blue relies on his sisters for comfort and security |
| Pink | 950 g | 463 g | Pink is a happy girl with lots of confidence. She is good friends with Blue |
| Red | 965 g | 468 g | Still the lead dog in the litter. Lots of confidence and get up and go |
| Yellow | 945 g | 458 g | Very self sufficient and a bit of a squirmer. Does not like to be disturbed from her beauty sleep |
Red collar is clearly a sable phantom puppy. Pink collar is most likely a chocolate phantom but could end up being a sable phantom as well and yellow collar may be a sable or a chocolate. The only puppy who will remain true to their current colour, is the boy who is the red caramel puppy. I guess it must be his lack of interest in Haute Couture that causes him not to want to change his “outfit” over time!
We have had a great deal of interest in this litter and wish we had more of these Labradoodle puppies for sale. While not yet formally announced, Ripple will have a second litter in early 2019 before taking a break from puppies. For this upcoming early 2019 litter of mini Labradoodle puppies, Ripple’s partner will be our very handsome Trip. As breeders, we are over the moon excited about this upcoming match. Both Ripple and Trip have gorgeous and unique colouring and markings. It is anticipated the litter will produce phantom and parti Labradoodle puppies in a soft mocha or red tone. We do anticipate a great deal of breeder interest in this upcoming litter and will take only two reservations for companion dogs. If you would like to be considered for this very special union please submit an Application Form. Also check our Puppies page regularly for news on all our upcoming early 2019 litters with Trip and other up and coming dogs.
