I also make 1-2 Instagram/Facebook videos of the litter and send email updates about the puppies, what's been happening around our house, and any recommendations I have for preparing for your pup.
Aussiedoodle puppy checklist professional#
To help families be a part of their puppy's raising, I post professional photos of each puppy at a few days old, then do a professional video of each puppy once their eyes are open at 3 weeks old, another round of professional photos at 5 weeks old and 7 weeks old. These puppies are also not ours to risk-they belong to the families that are taking them home and we are just their caretakers for a brief period of time. We have to protect ourselves and our children. Significant harm has come to people like breeders who work in home-type environments where unknown people are routinely invited in. We have other responsibilities inside and outside of our home and we prioritize any additional time that we have with spending time raising our puppies and children. Moms also can get frantic with new guests and accidentally roll on or step on newborn puppies if they panic. Stressed moms can become protective and separating moms from puppies is too stressful. Science shows that stress produces cortisol and other stress hormones, and those hormones go into mom’s milk and is passed onto the puppies. Visitors are a significant source of stress for nursing moms. We have to protect the physical and mental health of our Moms. Here is more information about parvo and canine influenza. If Parvo is introduced to our home and yard, we would have to move because it takes 9 months - 2 years to get rid of it and that date resets every time another dog or puppy gets it. Due to the warm Tennessee climate, many fatal diseases like Parvo and canine influenza are highly active year round. (People can inadvertently-or even intentionally-carry diseases in on their shoes, hands, and clothing).
Puppies are still developing their little immune systems and are not protected by vaccinations and maturity yet. The safety of our puppies, dogs, and family will always be placed above a potential sale. No, we do not accept visitors before the pups are 8 weeks old. It is always fun for us to meet the families and get to see everyone meet their puppy. Yes, we welcome visitors and people who have reserved a pup when the puppies are 8 weeks old. We call it "Puppy Pickup Day." This is a very exciting day around our house. They tend to be smaller than Goldendoodles, Labradoodles and Bernedoodles and are great for families wanting an active, intelligent and loyal family member to accompany them on all their outings.
Aussiedoodles come in a variety of colors, including solid, tri color (three colors), bi color (two colors), parti (any color with predominantly white areas), and red or blue merle patterns. Aussiedoodles have an “off” button and know when to relax at your side but are ready for whatever the next activity is.Īussiedoodle’s have a wonderful low shedding coat that can be lightly wavy to more curly. They are active and agile but with a slightly more moderate energy level then the purebread Australian shepherd. The Aussiedoodle is known to be a very intelligent, friendly, loyal and affectionate dog. The Aussiedoodle is a newer hybrid and not yet as well known as Labradoodles or Goldendoodles but they are on the rise and its no wonder why. When crossed together, they make a wonderful dog, known as the Aussiedoodle or Aussie-poo. The biggest question for me was “What breed do I choose?” My decision came down to many different variables.īoth Australian Shepherds and Poodles have incredible traits. That is when I decided to start an ethical breeding program that produced healthy dogs with loving dispositions capable of meeting those needs. When I was in graduate school and dreaming up a future of helping others I paid close attention to the evidence based research that talked about how dogs can help mitigate symptoms of mental health disorders and provide an array of other positive benefits. For years I knew I wanted to implement dogs into the therapeutic process.
