Thank you for starting this thread Our girl was born October 19th. Don't know which one we will get yet but will pick her up on December 18th. We can't wait!!
Maggie will be 9 weeks on Friday. Learned today that walks are not really a thing right now. All she wants to do is lay down and eat the dirt and rocks She plays for a while and then puts herself to bed. So cute!
Maggie had her first vet visit today. She was a hit! She is 6.4 lbs and 9 weeks old today. She is on ProPlan Sport All Life Stages 30/20. I am currently feeding her 3 times a day, a little less than 1/2 cup each time. Does this sound about right? I hear go by the bag but that says 1/2 to 1 cup a day. Seems low from what I have been reading?
Maggie is now 8.2 lbs at 10 weeks. Almost a 2 lb gain in 1 week! The vet said not to be concerned. We have evened out her feeding to about 1/3 cup, 3 times a day. She is such a joy and so smart. She is going to the door to be let out to potty. I am sure she has learned this from the older dogs. She is doing well on sit, down and turn around (circle). Her attention is really good as she is very food motivated. Our older dogs are getting better about being more tolerant of her. She is very mouthy
She has this hilarious behavior that when she hears the blow dryer, she comes running in for me to blow her with it while she tries to attack it
Hello! We just got our Lola and she was born October 17th! This forum is great and very informative. I think it's nice that people can bounce information off each other. Best of luck to everyone!
Lola is adorable! She is only 2 days older than our Maggie. Is she your first golden? Maggie is our first. Today will be full bath day for her. She tolerates mini baths really well so hopefully this will be fun thing for her. Nails are also getting done as she has little razors!!
Maggie is 3 months old now and weighs 12.4 lbs. Funny how much variety in sizes and weights they can be at this age. Mom was the smaller side of standard so Maggie may be also. She is such a joy. So smart and such a great personality. Her favorite toy has turned out to be a plastic coat hanger! Will have to take it away when she gets a little bigger and can chew harder. Just love this little girl
Hello Barkley! You are adorable Yes, there are 2 other golden's in Maggie's puppy class and they are much larger than her. The male is easily double her size.

Stuart at 15 weeks today, born on Oct 8, 2018. Had to pull over and get a photo of him in back of the Cherokee. He loves riding now. This was his first time out for fun, we went to Starbucks and Lowes. That his office chair when I work during the day.
Maggie is now 15 weeks and weighs about 16 lbs. She has grown so much. She is really long right now. She loves her puppy classes but would rather take the toys around and show all the other puppies than play with them. She must play enough at home with her brothers and the cat!
Stuart will be 17 weeks old this Monday. He weight in at 33 Pounds at week 16 at the Vet. Stuart now has all his shots and ready to start puppy training in two week.
We got his nails trim today as an introduction to the Groomer, and did lunch on a sidewalk café. Stuart did very good in his new environment listening to commands. He has really grown up, a totally different puppy from last week.
Really looking forward to this spring time when we start camping and canoeing.
Franklin is 17 weeks old and visited the vet for his last puppy vaccinations today! He weighed in at 29 pounds (but feels heavier than that... haha). He is silly, sweet, and has me wrapped around his little paw

Franklin is adorable!! His coat is gorgeous! Barkley has a strip of his slightly wavy adult coat down his back and the rest is still puppy fluff that is just sticking like glue. :--heart:
Franklin and Barkley, yay!! So adorable! I can't believe how fast they are growing. Even Maggie is getting bigger!
David, we still cut her nails with human clippers as they are still very small. She goes in tomorrow so will be interesting to see how much she weighs now.
Stuart weight 33 pounds at 16 weeks (last week). Just notice he grew another inch or two taller. We start official training next Wed since he had his last set of shots. He is a handful, lately he decided he wants to sleep on the couch with me.
Stuart is 18 weeks this week. I think we might be over the nipping stage. He is being very nice to me, wonder if he wants something.. We start puppy school tonight, I got his lunch bag pack.
Everyone said "take lots of photos, they go through the puppy phase so quickly" and I thought "sure, I'll do that" LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
It seems that, all of the sudden, we have a miniature golden retriever in the house and not a tiny fuzzy polar bear any more; the differences between 9 weeks and 16 weeks are AMAZING (see photos below)
Barkley got his rabies shot today (at 16 weeks, one week after his 3rd round of puppy shots), and is in better spirits tonight than when he got his other shots. In 4-6 weeks, when the spring weather starts, we'll go back in to the vet to get Lyme and rattlesnake vaccinations; I think B will be glad to be done with the shots for a while after that He weighed in today (after a week on his "diet" of 1 cup 3x/day) at 36.4 lbs. I'm not worried about his weight (dam was 65lbs, sire was 75lbs: B will be right around his sire's weight); he's got an easily discernible waist, plenty of energy and good poops, so we'll stick at the 3 cups/day for a few more weeks and check again.
Maggie at 4 months weighs about 22 lbs. She is getting so pretty! She has a lot of feathering on her front legs and a bit on her back. She is just the best puppy. Hasn't lost any teeth yet but the mouthing has gotten so much better! She loves her puppy class. Last one is next week so then we will move on to a manners class. She is so easy to take places and loves everyone. Had a bit of a scare the other day. We were in Sportsmans Warehouse with her and one of the employees, a very tall young man with a beard and hat, came over and scooped her up into his arms and held her right in his face to kiss on her. I saw her stiffen slightly but then she was all happy licking his face with tail wagging. Kind of bold of him to just come over and pick her up. I am glad she was okay with it.
Love to all October babies!!
