Meet The Nashville Litter
Welcome to the Nashville Litter! Millie and Nash welcomed five beautiful F1 Goldendoodle puppies on August 29, 2026 — three girls and two boys named Jolene, June, Dolly, Hank and Cash.
This is a pairing we truly love for the wonderful temperaments it consistently produces. Millie brings her calm, gentle and deeply loving nature, while Nash brings intelligence, loyalty, confidence and the soulful personality that has made him such an important part of our breeding program.
Their puppies are expected to mature around 45–60 pounds with beautiful wavy coats in shades of cream, apricot and red.
We've had the privilege of watching puppies from Millie's previous litters grow into wonderful companions and go on to do some amazing things with their families. We're excited to watch this newest group begin their own stories.
All five puppies in the Nashville Litter are currently reserved.
Meet The Parents
Millie
Standard Poodle · 42 lbs · Medium Red
Millie is the definition of a gentle soul. She is calm, sweet, loving and incredibly loyal, with a peaceful presence that makes her wonderful to be around. She's attentive and connected to her people without needing to be the center of attention.
Millie's previous puppies have grown into wonderful family companions, and we love seeing her calm, loving nature reflected in the puppies she produces.
Nash
English Cream Golden Retriever · 65 lbs
Nash is the cornerstone of our Goldendoodle program and a dog who has shaped generations of Desert Ridge Doodles puppies.
He is intelligent, strong, active, loyal and incredibly soulful. Nash has a wonderfully fair and nurturing nature, and pairing him with our girls has consistently produced puppies we are incredibly proud of — both in temperament and as beloved family companions.
After years of watching his puppies grow, we know just how special the qualities he passes along can be.

Newborn · August 2026
During their first week, life is wonderfully simple — lots of sleeping, nursing and snuggling close to Millie. Their days also include gentle daily handling, Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction as we begin laying the foundation for the weeks ahead.
3 Weeks Old · September 2026
Eyes are open, little legs are getting steadier and the Nashville puppies are beginning to discover the world around them. At three weeks, we start seeing more interaction with their siblings and the earliest glimpses of their individual personalities as their world gradually becomes bigger.
5 Weeks Old · October 2026
Five weeks is such a fun stage! The Nashville puppies are playful, curious and increasingly engaged with the people and environment around them. Their days now include new surfaces, sounds, toys and age-appropriate challenges designed to build confidence while we continue introducing grooming, handling, crate and potty-training foundations.

How We Raise Our Puppies
Our puppies are raised in our home with intentional age-appropriate experiences that build confidence, resilience and a strong foundation for life with their future families.
ENS + ESI
Early Neurological Stimulation + Early Scent Introduction
During their earliest days, our puppies participate in Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) exercises designed to provide gentle, age-appropriate sensory experiences as they begin developing.
Confidence Building
Curiosity, Confidence + Resilience
We introduce new surfaces, textures, toys, environments and age-appropriate challenges as our puppies grow. These experiences encourage curiosity, problem-solving and confidence while allowing each puppy to explore at their own pace.
Daily Handling
Gentle, Intentional Handling From the Start
Our puppies are handled every day and gradually introduced to having their paws, ears, mouths and bodies touched. We also begin early grooming experiences to help build comfort, trust and confidence with routine care.
Crate + Potty Foundations
A Head Start on Life at Home
Before going home, our puppies are introduced to age-appropriate crate and potty-training foundations. While they won't leave fully trained, these early experiences help make the transition into their new family's routine a little easier.
Household Exposure
Raised in the Heart of Our Home
Our puppies are raised around the everyday sights, sounds and activity of a home. As they grow, they're gradually introduced to new people, household noises and age-appropriate experiences that help prepare them for family life.
Temperament Evaluation
Getting to Know Each Puppy
We carefully observe our puppies as their individual personalities develop, paying attention to qualities such as confidence, sociability, energy level, human focus, sensitivity and independence. These observations help us guide families toward a puppy whose temperament may complement their home and lifestyle.
