Canadoodle's Guardian Home Expectations

                                 (name) will be known throughout as Doodle

Our Expectations:

Doodle is a female/male breeding Labradoodle puppy. We require that all appropriate precautions be taken to ensure that she/he is kept safe both from getting loose, lost or hurt and from other dogs hurting her/him or causing her to become pregnant.

We require that you keep track of Doodles’s heat cycles and count the days from the first day that she has a swollen vulva and has blood coming from it and contact us when it begins, so that we can determine our course of action.

FEMALE 

After Doodle has been bred she will come home to you until one week before her puppies are due (56 days after being bred, puppies are traditionally due 63 days after conception give or take two or three days.) She will remain with us until the puppies are weaned at approximately 5 - 6 weeks of age.

When Doodle is finished her breeding career - which can be anything from 0 to 6 litters, she will be spayed and will live out her days as your family pet. If at anytime, for any reason, she is unable to remain with your family, she must be returned to us.

MALE 

From time to time we will be using Doodle for breeding which with close proximity will be about an hour or two in a day  - likely every second day for a week with each female he breeds, for out of Grand Forks males it will mean one week away from home.   If for any reason you will be away, please contact us ahead of time so that we can make alternate arrangements.  If for any reason you must move - please contact us immediately so that we can help to facilitate a solution that will work well for both of us or to receive Doodle back into our home. 

When Doodle is finished his breeding career - which can be anything up to 4-5 years, he will be neutered and will live out his days as your family pet. If at anytime, for any reason, he is unable to remain with your family, he must be returned to us.

In addition to the breeding and whelping times, Doodle will occasionally need to have tests required for the breeding program.  Once each year, she/he must have a special eye exam, (called a CERF) which can be done at a local Ophthalmologist or at the yearly CERF clinic we hold here at Canadoodles (to be determined at a later date).   If other testing is required, we would ask that you attend the Kettle River Veterinary Services or a veterinarian in your area that we feel confident with, at your convenience, to have these tests preformed and have it billed to us. We require that all appropriate vaccinations are kept current, as you would any family pet and that all regular maintenance and upkeep be your financial obligation.  We do have specific guidelines for the vaccinations that we wish to be administered, which are fewer than what is traditionally given.  Any financial costs pertaining to the breeding of Doodle will be born by us. We require yearly vaccinations against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo Virus, and Parainfluenza.  The shot is referred to as DHPP. We do not want Corona Virus or Leptospirosis included in the vaccine at this time.  We also require that Bordatella be given yearly and it can be at the same time.  We require that  Rabies be given at a separate time at least one month after the DHPP and Bordatella, and again every three years after the first booster.  Sometimes dogs can suffer from Epilepsy , Auto Immune Disorders, skin irritations etc. as a result of too many vaccines being administered at the same time.  Finally Heartworm on the direction of the veterinarian, with the constant changes in formulas, this may change yearly and should be used according to the most widely acceptable standards, if there are any questions, please ask first.

We require that only a top quality dog food be offered and very little but preferably no human food (table scraps).  The health, quality and number of puppies is directly affected by their food.  We use Go! Natural - Chicken, Fruit and Vegetables - a Canadian Produced Product and Wellness Core or Wellness Super 5 - Chicken - an American Produced Product.   Any food that is available in a grocery store ie: Pedigree, Purina, Iams,  is a low end formula which is not good quality dog food.  Using canned food is also a problem in that it can create teeth problems.  Becoming very overweight or obese can put a strain on the dog as well as making it difficult to get pregnant or properly whelp a litter.

Our dogs are all currently being cared for by Dr. Ruth Sims - Kettle River Veterinary Services - Grand Forks, B.C. ; we would prefer that to continue whenever you are in this area.  If you should have an emergency - please go to the nearest Vet and Contact us immediately.

Finally, it is imperative that Doodle become a member of your family and not a backyard dog.  We are looking for happy, well adjusted mothers and fathers who will pass on their good traits and happy lives to their puppies.  Grooming is an important part, whether you decide to clip her/him yourself or bring her/him in for grooming, it should be consistent and she/he should be free from mats and debris in her/his coat, as much as possible.

We hope you have a wonderful experience with a Canadoodle Australian Labradoodles and look forward to working with you.
