Can I come see the puppies?The Health and saftey of our dogs and puppies is very important to us so we take every precaution to protect them. Puppies do not have fully developed immune systems and are susceptible to life threatening illnesses, like Parvo. Parvo can kill a litter of puppies in a matter of hours. Parvo among others can be carried on clothing such as shoes. For this reason as well as our own safety concerns I do not allow visits.

Will the puppies be potty trained?Beware of anyone claiming to be sending home a puppy ages 8-10 weeks fully potty trained. Puppies simply can not be fully potty trained in that amount of time. Many factors come into play when potty training a puppy. First, when a puppy is taken home they are removed from their comfort zone. New house, new people, in many cases new animals to get use to. It will take time for a puppy to learn the appropriate place to potty at their new house. It will take time for them to settle in and feel comfortable. Second, a puppies bladder is very small when they go home. They simply can not hold their bowels as long as an older puppy or adult dog. Expecting a puppy to hold it for hours while kenneled is absolutely unrealistic. Fully house training/potty training is a new puppy owners responsibility. Its just part of having a new puppy. Be prepared to put work into training. I say this only to be informative, not to be rude in any way. SOOO many people buy puppies and regret it when they realize how much work training is. These breeds are extremely smart but their humans have to be committed to the journey of new puppy ownership to be successful.

Do your puppies shed?typically F1s DO shed. F1 is a first generation cross. Now F1 Labradoodles will shed more then all the other F1 crosses. F1 Goldendoodles shed a little less then the F1 Labradoodles. my F1 Bernedoodles I find dont shed much at all. Its more like dust bunnies youll find here and there. Now F1bs typically do NOT shed. No dog is guarunteed to be non shedding!

Other Information
Parasites: For the average person, the idea of having parasites is a pretty scary thought, but in the world of 8 week old puppies, it's really not uncommon. Similar to a toddler bringing everything home from preschool, puppies are going to pick up parasites from any number of sources i.e... from other dogs to the yard to things being tracked into the house by visitors or even their own mothers. Thankfully, the vast majority of parasites aren't serious and are easily treated. However, also like little ones in preschool, puppies pass things from one to another and back again so as long as they're in a group setting, parasites can be difficult to completely eliminate. Please, understand that we do everything in our power to send home healthy puppies including but not limited to a full litter stool sample exam as well as a veterinarian health check, but even the great lengths that we go to aren't foolproof. If, by some chance, your vet does find a parasite, we will be happy to reimburse the cost of the medicine that your vet prescribes and we will continue to cover any parasite related costs until we are all comfortable that that issue has been resolved. We can not be responsible for other testing if we are not aware of it.
Your puppy will be due for his/her next vaccination 3 weeks from first vet visit. PLEASE NOTE: your puppy is not fully vaccinated until all 3 vaccinations are given. Please refrain from taking your puppy in public places where other animals have been, until the puppy has all 3 vaccinations and is at least 12 weeks of age.
Your puppy has been de-wormed, however, please always include a stool sample when taking your new puppy to the vet. Many parasites can only be seen by a vet at certain times of their cycle. We deworm from 2 weeks until 8 weeks. Some parasites can even surface from change in environments and stress to the puppy.
