This procedure is highly recommended for all puppies that are not intended for breeding. Not only does it not affect the growth and development of your puppy, it has shown to be helpful for avoiding certain cancers and of course unplanned pregnancies.

Another benefit to spay/neuter your puppy if it’s a boy is the lessening of needing to mark everything including the furniture! If a girl, it’s the spotting every 6 months on carpets and it takes a watchful eye to keep the neighborhood crowd at bay!

Yes and yes! Our small children absolutely love our doodles and if we are gone for even a day they are homesick for doodle love! We have found them to be the most patient, gentle and loving little teddy bears with a heartbeat. That being said, it is of course important to guide your children in exercising gentleness when playing with your puppy as they are not invincible!

Crate training has worked very well for our house puppies. This also helps with getting a potty training routine. We keep our doodle in her crate at night and she’ll go outside first thing in the morning. She loves her crate and it only takes a command and she will gladly go inside. When we need to leave for a few hrs, this is her den and she enjoys it. As with any training, positive reinforcement is the key and always make it a pleasant experience when you put her inside.

In our experience, this breed of dogs are the easiest to train that we have found. As with any training, it takes consistency and firmness as they want to know their role and place in your family and thrive once they realize their place. We make every moment a training moment, and soon they will recognize that commands and repetitive words bring positive actions or negative consequences. Your puppy may train quickly or take a bit longer depending on its personality but be patient and with time they can be taught almost anything.

As with most breeds, it depends much on nutrition, exercise and genetics. Typically a smaller dog will outlive a larger one and their lifespan is usually from 12-15 years. Our dogs come with a 3 year health guarantee if you feed them our recommended formula known as Life’s Abundance.

Grooming your doodle is important since they have a non shedding coat. We regularly bathe our dogs and use a slicker brush to groom them. If left ungroomed, their coats can become matted and then they will need a haircut. The shorter the coat, the less maintenance is required.
