Raven 2026 – Update 7

sunstriderlabradoodles.co.uk 23 April 2026

The puppies are now 7 weeks old, and it’s been a very busy week for them as they get ready for their new homes.

They’ve had their vet checks, microchips, and everything went well, which is always reassuring at this stage. We’ve also completed their temperament assessments, and each puppy has now been carefully matched to their new families. It’s always a really important part of the process, making sure each puppy is placed in the home that suits them best.

This week has also been all about preparation for their departures on Sunday. They’ve been getting used to being handled more for things like bathing, and we’ve been busy putting together their puppy packs and goodie bags to help them settle into their new homes.

It’s a lovely but emotional stage, seeing them ready to take the next step, and we’re looking forward to them beginning their new adventures very soon

Raven 2026 – Update 6

sunstriderlabradoodles.co.uk 12 April 2026

The puppies are now 6 weeks old and have come on so much over the past week. They are incredibly active now, constantly on the move, playing, exploring and interacting with each other. It’s a really busy stage, and their individual personalities are becoming clearer each day.

They’re much more confident and curious, enjoying their toys and the space around them, and you’ll see in the video just how lively they’ve become. There’s a lot more coordination now too, with plenty of chasing, pouncing and general puppy chaos.

We had visits last week at 5 weeks, which went really well, and it was so lovely to meet all of the new families. It’s always a special milestone, and it’s nice for everyone to make real connections with the puppies.

They’re continuing to thrive with weaning, they’re eating their kibble completely dry now and increasing those lovely chunky weights, and overall they’re progressing exactly as we would hope at this stage.

We’re really enjoying this phase, even if it’s a little more full on. We’ll continue to share updates at the next big milestone, which is their 7 week old temperament tests!

Raven 2026 – Update 5

sunstriderlabradoodles.co.uk 30 March 2026

The puppies are now 4 weeks old and full of character. They’re becoming more playful and confident each day, and it’s such a lovely stage to watch.

In this video, our youngest girl River who is now 5 months old, has joined them in the box. She absolutely adores the puppies and is so gentle and sweet with them, it’s been really special to see.

Weaning is going exceptionally well and they are all loving their food, which is always a great sign at this stage.

We’ll also be starting visits from this weekend, which we’re really looking forward to.

More updates to come soon!

Raven 2026 – Update 4

sunstriderlabradoodles.co.uk 22 March 2026

The puppies are now 3 weeks old and have come on so much over the past week. They are now up on their feet, wandering around the box, playing with each other and starting to explore the toys we’ve introduced.

We’ve now extended their space to give them a bit more room, and they have a separate pee pad area which they are already beginning to use.

Weaning has also begun this week. They’ve started on whitefish mince to get them going, and over the next few days we’ll begin gradually introducing mashed kibble as they continue to develop.

They’re becoming more interactive and confident each day, and it’s a lovely stage to watch as their little personalities really start to show.

Raven 2026 – Update 3

sunstriderlabradoodles.co.uk 12 March 2026

Raven’s puppies are now 10 days old and have grown so much already. They’ve been feeding brilliantly and are becoming very chunky little pups, which is always lovely to see at this stage.

Raven continues to be a fantastic mum and is taking wonderful care of them. Most of their time is still spent feeding and sleeping, but they are getting stronger every day and developing quickly.

It’s amazing how much they change in just a short space of time, and we’re really enjoying watching their little personalities begin to emerge.

Here’s a little video of them enjoying one of their feeds with Raven.

Raven 2026 – Update 2

sunstriderlabradoodles.co.uk 4 March 2026

We are delighted to announce that Raven welcomed her puppies into the world on Sunday morning. It’s always an incredible moment when a litter finally arrives, and we were delighted to welcome five beautiful chocolate puppies. One girl and four boys.

Sadly, after a long first day and night, we lost one of the little boys the following morning. Despite our very best efforts to support him, he simply wasn’t strong enough. Losing a puppy is always heartbreaking, but it is unfortunately one of the realities of breeding, even when everything possible is done to help them. It’s been a few very emotional days, hence the delay in uploading this update.

Raven is doing well and is being a fantastic mum. The remaining puppies are settled and being closely monitored as they begin their first few days of life.

We’re incredibly grateful for all the kind messages and support. We’ll continue to share updates as the puppies grow and develop over the coming weeks.
