PLEASE READ  The estimated date of birth or even the estimated time your puppy will be ready to be picked up is just that, a estimate, in the breeding world things do not always go according to plan, false pregnancies are a very common occurrences among dogs, that is how they help each other raise the alpha females pups in the wild, after a heat, dogs go threw pregnancy whether they are actually pregnant or not, they will act pregnant start to get a belly and even produce milk, there is no pregnancy test for dogs like we have for humans the only way to tell is to get a ultra sound done at the end of the pregnancy that might not show anything anyway. If the dog is pregnant things can go wrong during birth, pups can be lost. Then its the wait to see if the puppy is strong and healthy enough to survive those first very crucial weeks. Even after breeding for 25 years I cant predict the outcome of a breeding, every dog is different and every pregnancy is different.  If I can not provide you with a puppy after one year I will gladly return your deposit. If I already have your deposit then patiently hang in there guys, puppies are coming. Thanks for understanding. Helen

Question: Can I come visit the goldendoodle puppies in person before they are vaccinated against contagious diseases?

Answer: For the safety of all dogs and puppies anyone that handles your puppy must disinfect their clothes, shoes and hands.
Humans can track in various and serious dog diseases that could be devastating to the puppies and dogs. Your more then welcome to come and visit us to see where your puppy is coming from before placing a deposit but any unvaccinated puppy and their mother will be in a bio-secure area, people purchasing puppies view the parents and puppies after the puppies have had their shots and are ready to go to their new homes.
To insure the health of your goldendoodle puppy visitors are not allowed in the maternity area. Strangers viewing and walking in the area excites and upsets the Moms and puppies. 
Following these guidelines allows us to provide overall kennel safety and healthy puppies.

There are large amount of reported cases of Parvo Virus in Canada. Parvo Virus is a highly contagious disease that can be carried from kennel to kennel or from parks, vet offices, pet stores, etc. on your shoes, clothing, skin and can wipe out a whole kennel in a matter of a few days. The dog flu is also on the rise and is similar to kennel cough. These are both very highly contagious diseases that could have disastrous results in a litter of puppies therefore we must ask that you not visit any other kennel, pet store, dog park, vet office or anywhere else that there may be ill dogs. By ticking off the yes box on our application page you agree to these terms. Thank you for your co-operation in keeping our breeding dogs and puppies healthy.

  1 With so many foods out there, how do I know which one is the best for our puppy?        Top^

  Your puppy has been eating a high quality food called TLC, we will supply you with a puppy kit containing important information about this food, we highly recommend you continue feeding TLC,  your new puppy will receive superior nutrition using TLC.  The puppy won't grow too fast and put undo stress on its joints and because of TLC's high digestive properties the 'out-put' (stool) is less. TLC is a whole life pet food so you never need to worry about changing foods and the upset tummy and loose stools that come with switching.  We can provide you with a sample of TLC plus we have 8KG bags for sale. Please visit www.tlcpetfood.com for more information. Feed the puppy three times a day for the first few weeks then twice a day after that, never feed a dog just once a day.

INTRODUCING the Barf Diet or feeding your puppy  raw is now an option at Goldenbelle Kennels, just let me know which you prefer and I will start your puppy eating the food you will be feeding at home. Here are some links to the raw food diet.

2 What shall I bring when I pick up my goldendoodle puppy ?     Top^

  You should bring a water bottle and bowl if your trip is longer than 1 hour as well as a small collar and leash for potty breaks and paper towels just in case the puppy gets car sick. We send puppy home with his/her blanket  which has his/her moms and siblings scent on it to make the transition from our home to yours less stressful. Taking puppy home in a crate can be very stressful so if you are picking puppy up by yourself I suggest and small laundry basket, that way puppy is safe but you have access and puppy can see you and will feel a lot more secure. Make puppies first introduction to the crate a happy time.

 

3 What kind of supplies will I need at home?         Top^

  You will need a crate if you are crate training, an x-large for standards a large for mediums and a medium size for minis, bowls, collar, leash, teething toys, puppy pads or newspaper, a pin brush, nail trimmers, scissors with rounded ends for trimming around eyes, ear cleaner, cotton balls, a bottle of bitter apple spray to spray on shoes, wooden furniture etc. treats for training, a spray bottle with half vinegar and half water to cover up the sent of accidents, a hot water bottle and a stuffed animal for sleeping with.

 

4 When is the next vet appointment?                            Top^

  Your puppy will have received his/her first set of needles will be dewormed and will have a health certificate, the next vet visit should be scheduled no later than four weeks after the first set of needles, and then four weeks after that for the third set and a rabies shot. Your vet will discuss flea and heartworm prevention at the time of the first visit. A Veterinarian should be lined up ahead of time in case of an emergency.

 

5 Should I enrol my goldendoodle puppy in puppy classes?      Top^

  Being a dog trainer myself I feel it is a very good idea to sign up for puppy classes so you can learn proper training techniques and catch any behaviour problems at a young age and learn to correct them before the puppy gets older, (small cute bad habits turn into big problems) besides they are a lot of fun and very important part of bonding with your new pup. I have tried many different training methods and have found that rewarding positive behaviour  threw clicker training works the best. www.clickertraining.com I do start training your puppy at a very young age with age appropriate training, your puppy will be introduced to the crate, collar, leash and housetraining will be started. Puppies are introduced to the come, sit, stay, heel commands.

 

6 Can I take my goldendoodle puppy to the park?                 Top^

  Not until a week after the second or even the third set of vaccines, until then the puppy should get enough exercise on short walks and playing in the back yard.

 

 

7 Can I take my goldendoodle puppy jogging with me?                 Top^

  No, a dog should not be run until he is done growing at 18 months old. Jogging puts too much strain on growing joints and can cause hip dysphasia and other joint and hip problems. Walks and playing fetch for short periods of time is sufficient exercise for a puppy.

 

8 What do I use to clean my carpet if the puppy  Top^

 has an accident?

  Mix half vinegar and half water in a spray bottle and spray on the spot after you have absorbed the worst of it up and rub in a circular motion, the vinegar gets rid of the smell so the puppy will not revisit that same spot.

 

 

9 How often do I bath the puppy?                          Top^

  Only about once every two months or when needed, brush about three times a week and keep the hair trimmed around the eyes, trim the nails (only the tips) and check the ears for any hair and smell them, if there is an infection present you will be able to tell by the smell and a dark waxy substance will be present, you will need to have the ears checked by a vet and he will give you some special ointment to get rid of the infection, if everything looks good in the ear then go ahead and clean the ears with a ear cleaner but first  pull the ear hairs out with your fingers.

 

10 What can I give my puppy if he/she gets loose       Top^

stools from the water or food changes?

  The best way to firm up loose stools is to feed the puppy some pure canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filler) about a ¼ cup three times a day for a day or two, if the stool does not firm up or it becomes even looser take a sample to the vet.

 11 What should I expect when                              Top^

I come to pick my puppy up.

 The day has finally arrived, it's time to pick-up your new puppy. The kids are excited, Mom and Dad are excited, even the family and neighbours are excited but this can be a very stressful time for a young puppy who's world as he knows it is about to be turned upside down, puppy's that are stressed are more susceptible to viruses and anything else that they may otherwise just fight off so I have a few suggestions to make the transition less stressful on the puppy. I think it would be helpful to explain to the kids and friends that the puppy will need to rest and not to expect to much from the puppy at first. A bit of playtime out in the yard will also help him adjust to his new surroundings, just let him wonder around and sniff things without being picked up and carried around to much. Young puppies need undisturbed sleeps and will often wonder away to try and find a quit place to sleep behind a couch or in a corner, so by providing a safe, quit sleep area like in a covered crate placed away from high traffic areas you will be doing your puppy a big favour, it may not seem like it at first since he/she will cry in protest but its just like the old saying goes "they don't know what's good for them" but the day will come that puppy will accept his crate as his den and will seek it out on his own for quit time. Add a little bit of corn syrup, honey or sugar to the puppies water for the first few days to help keep his blood sugars up, a stressed pup wont each as much as he should and could get hypo-glycaemia which requires attention immediately. 

Hypoglycaemia simply means a low blood sugar. Glucose is the form of sugar found within the bloodstream. Glucose is formed during the digestion of foods and it can be stored within the liver in a storage form called glycogen. Most instances of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) in the puppy are the result of inadequate nutrition; either not enough or poor quality (undigestible) food. Excessive exercise may also cause the body to use up more sugar than is available.

What are the symptoms?

A puppy with hypoglycaemia will lack energy. Glucose (sugar) is the fuel the body burns for energy; without it the puppy is listless. In severe instances, the puppy may even seizure, since glucose is necessary for the brain tissues and muscles to function. These hypoglycaemic episodes will cause the puppy to fall over and appear weak or comatose.

 

What is the management?

If a puppy is listless due to low blood sugar, it is imperative to immediately provide sugar. Karo syrup and honey are excellent sugar sources and should be fed to the puppy.

We need to keep the puppies healthy and since most viruses with Parvo being the worst one can be carried in on your shoes, hands and clothing we ask that you do not visit a dog park, other kennel or a vets office before coming to pick up your puppy, I know bathroom breaks are needed but a Tim Horton's rather than a park bathroom would be a better choice. Thank you for understanding.

A  $200. deposit is required to reserve a puppy, we except visa and MasterCard. Please make sure of your decision, deposits are non-refundable unless otherwise agreed upon.

Labradoodles & Goldendoodles

The Labradoodles was first intentionally bred in Australia in the 1970s and has its roots there as a guide dog for allergy sufferers.
Some animal experts believe cross breeding -- either for one generation or for several -- uses the best characteristics of two dogs to create one super dog.
Mixed-breed dogs are healthier; They aren't as likely to have these inherited problems. 
I have not met another dog as gentle, intuitive, caring, and intelligent as the Labradoodles and the goldendoodle.
The first generation (F1) standard size Goldendoodle was the first to be bred. It is a standard Poodle crossed with a Golden Retriever. Most first generation Goldendoodles either are non-shedding or shed lightly, and are compatible for most families with mild allergies.
The backcross (F1B) Goldendoodle is produced by crossing an F1 Goldendoodle with a Poodle. These dogs will have a higher success rate for non-shedding, and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies.
Goldendoodles are an intelligent and obedient family companion. They are everybody's friend and devoted to their family. They are friendly towards children, other dogs and pets, and easy with strangers. They are social dogs, happiest when with people.
