Health Disclaimer

Your puppy will come home with the first vet health check, microchip, set of shots, & deworming as needed.

Our parents receive regular check ups to make sure they are found in good health before breeding occurs. We keep them up to date on their vet recommended shots and other health maintenance. With that said our vet does not recommend completing special genetic tests that some breeders advertise.

We take good care of our puppies while they are with us and make sure they stay in good health while growing & before coming to your home. In the case of health issues that occur after they leave our care we do not take responsibility for declining health from nutritional deficiencies or other environmental circumstances.

We ask that you take your puppy for his/her first check up & shots within the first week of being at your home. We also ask that you avoid situations that could compromise a young puppy who isn't old enough to be considered fully vaccinated (such as public areas, pet stores, dog parks ect.) until your vet gives an all clear for these type of outings-most likely around 4 months of age after the rabies shot is given. If your vet finds something concerning at your first appointment please notify us immediately and we will assess the situation on a case by case basis. We will attempt to reach and maintain a happy agreement for both you and your puppy.

Life at our house

During their time at our home the puppies have been well socialized and are used to being handled, being around a variety of noises, and being around their litter mates and our adult dogs and baby. They are also accustomed to being in a confined space within a room which will help in crate training.

They are currently used to  having constant access to washable puppy pads and a puppy litter box to eliminate on and often will go for that on their own when they need to use the bathroom (90% of the time by 8 weeks). They will not have a understanding of where you want them to eliminate in their new environment.  We recommend bell training for potty training as doodles are often not vocal about needing to go outside. 

Your puppy has had his/her nails trimmed regularly at our house and will be used to having their nails, paws, tails & ears touched.

**We encourage you continue touching these areas regualary to make their grooming experience as normal and pleasant for them as possible.**

We have done our best to keep the puppies from biting on our hands etc to keep them from thinking this is normal or acceptable behavior but they will still try! Puppies learn  best from their litter mates and mom when play biting is too hard or unacceptable.

Adoption Expectations

There are few key things we ask of our forever homes:

• Your doodle will be included as a member of the family as an indoor pet. (Doodles are not built to withstand extreme weather conditions hot/cold & are happiest when having daily interaction/affection from people)
• You won't allow anyone to mistreat your doodle (including children; often young children don't understand appropriate handling or what situations could make a dog feel scared or uncomfortable ie: pulling hair/ears/face/tails, hitting with objects/hand/feet, etc. Doodles love children and people in general but as their guardians we need to ensure they don't suffer abuse even though they will often tolerate it.)
• You will ensure your puppy has proper nutrition and diet throughout life (there are a lot of dog food brands that are more like junk food, a little research online goes a long way)
• You will responsibly care for your doodles coat. (Doodles hair requires frequent brushing and maintenance to avoid becoming matted unless kept short. Mats can be painful and if extreme can even be harmful to their skin.) If brushing is not something your able to upkeep on your own you can maintain a shorter coat or more frequent grooming appointments.
• You will notify us if rehoming ever becomes necessary for any reason. We want to always make sure our doodles are in safe environments and they are not being shuffled around from family to family as much as possible. We never want our doodles to be placed in a shelter or similar situation where they are homeless, please allow us to find a new forever home before ever considering a shelter, etc. 

Recommendations

Puppy Classes: Puppy socalization classes through the first 12 weeks of a puppies life can help ensure they start out on the right foot. 

Training: We encourage you to use positive reinforcement training techniques with your doodles. Some trainers offer this and others use another approach. When seeking out a training it's a good idea to have a talk with them about what their training style is. 

Crate train:We recommend crating your puppy while not at home or able to oversee as much for their safety as your sanity. It will keep your furniture in one piece during puppyhood as well keep your puppy safe from chewing wires, or eating things that are potentially dangerous that you may not even think of as hazardous.

Potty training: Typically doodles are not vocal about letting you know they need to potty/go outside. Commonly their signal to you will either be walking to the door back and forth hoping you will notice or sitting in the middle of the floor deeply staring  you! We find many people have the best success with bell training with doodles so they have a better way to communicate their need in a way that will get your attention. Whichever method you choose they are still very young and don't have the ability to hold it for very long. General rule of thumb is one hour for every month of age, plus one. So if a puppy is two months old, he can wait up to three hours. However, this varies from dog to dog, and a puppy should be taken out more often than his maximum hold time. Right after one activity is done (ie:nap time, meal time, big play session) that is the best time to give them a potty break in the beginning.

Feeding: Most people are surprised when they learn at first your young puppy should be eating 3-4 times/day! Their bellies are small and can't hold much quantity at a time however they still have high nutritional demands for proper development. Think of how often a human baby eats as a reference. We encourage you to read labels and ensure that you are feeding you puppy a quality food that will provide all the needed nutrition for puppy (there are a lot out there that are the nutritional equivalent to junk food, they will keep them alive but not help them thrive.) *Feeding your pup the moment you get home may encourage separation anxiety. Play time or grooming is a more positive way to say hello in the early weeks with them. The following can help as a feeding frequency reference as they grow.

6–12 weeks: 4 feedings a day are best if possible. Growing pups should be fed puppy food, a diet specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs for normal development. Feeding adult food will rob your puppy of important nutrients. 

3–6 months: Sometime during this period, decrease feedings from four to three a day. As a guide-a pup is probably beginning to lose his/her potbelly & pudginess by 12 weeks. If she is still roly-poly at this age, continue to feed puppy-size portions until body type matures.

6–12 months: Begin feeding twice daily. Spaying or neutering lowers energy requirements slightly; after the procedure, switch from nutrient-rich puppy food to adult maintenance food. Err on the side of caution: Better to be on puppy food a little too long than not long enough.

After age 1: Most owners feed adult dogs two times a day or free range as doodles tend to be snackers throughout life.
