PLEASE READ IT SHOULD ANSWER MOST QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE!
As a doodle owner it is a lifelong commitment to maintain grooming your doodle. The first year of life is a lesson each time they get on the table. If you start grooming them when they are young it makes it easier for both the groomer and your dog as they get older because they will be used to being groomed. It is also important to have their ears plucked. Some doodles may have hair that needs to have it plucked out. Not keeping ears maintained will cause ear infections especially if your doodle loves water.
We are feeding puppies Kirkland puppy. You will receive a large enough sample of kibble to mix in with what you are going to feed them. If you do not mix it in for them to transition slowly they will get an upset tummy causing diarrhea. We free feed our puppies. I always make sure there is kibble in their bowl in case one did not get enough or maybe they like just snacking throughout the day. Also we make sure they have fresh water several times a day.
Yes all puppies have worms, gross I know, so they will need a couple more rounds of de wormer from your Vet. Also, a series of 2 more shots to get them fully vaccinated from any diseases. We encourage you to find a vet you are comfortable with so these dolls can get their next set of shots, de wormer, and routine checkups. Talk to the vet about vaccinations, heart worm, and flea control if needed in your area. The protocol is needed at 7, 10, and 13 weeks of age for vaccinations. Please do not take your puppy to any parks or places where any other animals that have left feces have been; for fear of them getting any diseases, specifically parvo, until they are fully vaccinated. Parvo is very serious disease-causing death in most cases. This does not mean you cannot socialize your puppy, just avoid areas that are common to public until your puppy is fully vaccinated.
I strongly believe in crate training and making their crate a safe haven, if not abused. A puppy does well in a crate at night if they are near you and feel your presence. Sorry that means a garage, bathroom, and laundry room is out! Mine love their crates. It is a safe place for them to get away from any kids or ruckus in the house. When I leave my home I never leave them unattended, another reasons crates are nice to have. Hint: Treats do wonders for training.
Your puppy will be used to a doggy door, but that does not mean they are house broke. Continue with a routine of having them go outside in a designated area. I use one word “potty” and they go to the door. They are used to going outside so be consistent with them. Take them outside after every meal, nap, and play time. They are babies and have to go often. If they have an accident please do not put them in their crate as they will associate their crate as a bad thing. Just take them outside immediately. At about 12 weeks their bladders can hold it a little longer. There is one word I can say, and that is consistency!
Teach them tricks! Mental work is as tiring as a walk and will help keep them out of trouble. There is basic commands that every puppy should learn that they may not tell you in basic puppy class. Leave it- put a treat on the ground with in their reach and tell them to leave it. Do not let them have it until you say it is ok. Your puppy needs to see you as the pack leader. Make them sit and wait after you put their food down and before they are allowed to eat. Pet them and play with them while they are eating, grab some food out of their bowl then give it back, move the dish. They should not see food as “their food”, and they should allow you to do whatever you want with it.
Lastly, they love chew toys. Stuffed toys don't last long, they have a grand time tearing stuffing all over! I will give balls, Frisbees and Kong toys are magical. I do not give them pig ears or raw hides. It is too scary for me and have had a bad experience! We give them large bones or deer antlers as that keeps their teeth nice and clean.
If we can help you in anyway or any questions you may have please don't hesitate to get a hold of us!
We do have one last request. We would sure love an update on your little dolls at about a year of age so we can get a good idea on size, color, etc. for our breeding program.
Thank you

www.petedge.com is where we buy all of our products at a great price. These are my favorite smells. Bright magic and fresh pet. Puppy was bathed in bright magic and head and face washed in spa facial cleanser.
|
www.chewy.com this facial wash smells dynamite!
|
After bathing puppy we always put a ear cleanser in to dry ears out. You can get this from www.revivalanimal.com
|
This is a slicker brush and you can find them on pet edge or amazon. Once again personal preference and what works for us.
|
We start with a big crate that has a divider for puppy. Puppies that have been raised in a clean environment will not go potty where they sleep, but give them a big area and they will.
|
Puppies will enjoy these hand made snuffle matts!
|
These treats are in puppy packets.
|
Your puppy will be used to eating this kibble. If you decide to change a sample will be sent so you can transition slowly. Of course I feel feeding raw is the healthiest. Please buy a quality large breed puppy food. We free feed puppies as they are growing so fast and then transition into feeding 1 to 2 times a day at 1 year old.

Flying in to get your puppy? Please make sure you read the dimensions of the carrier to purchase of the airline you decide to go through. Do not get a hard sided carrier. Each airline has different rules and I cant answer those questions but be reassured I have met so many folks at the Boise Idaho airport with no troubles at all.
