Adopting a Puppy
Adopting a Puppy
If you have given it plenty of thought & feel you are ready to wellcome a Australian Labradoodle puppy into your Home.
These dogs need to live as part of a family unit & to be involved,they are highly intelligent & need stimulation,they learn any training very quickly,& are active dogs so will need a walk once they reach adulthood,they adore & thrive around children & will play all sorts of games with them.
ALDs are non aggressive very effectionate cuddly dogs who will form a tight bond with thier family.
They will not be Happy left alone all day so that is something you need to think about & if you are able to provide that. They need a safe fenced garden in which they can play.And most of all they need lots of Love.
Australian Labradoodles add so much to your life,they are loving comical little rascals who will completely steal your heart,they are very intuitive & pick up on your mood,cuddling up to you when they feel you are sad.
They look like live Teddy bears so pull on your heart strings & they are Very Effectionate Happy Dogs.
They make wonderfull companions for people who could never consider having a dog before because of allergies.
Alds are allergy friendly.
And if you have ever had a dog that constantly moults dog hair,it is wonderfull not to have dog hairs on everything.
If you feel you can offer a suitable family home please email me & ask to be placed on the waiting list.
We can then ask each other questions,If we are both happy then i ask for a deposit to confirm.
Once you are on the list i will keep you updated when one of the girls has been to her boyfriend & when puppies are due.
When the puppies are born i will keep you involved with photos & videos,so you can see the puppies growing.
Normally at 6 weeks old the puppies are ready to wellcome visitors,then you will meet the Mother & puppies.
All Health tests of the parent dogs are checked & have to be passed Fit & Healthy to Breed by Wala.
The puppies will be ready to leave for thier new homes at 8 weeks old.
I use The puppy Culture Programme to temperament check the puppies to help place each puppy with the right family.
The puppies will have had thier first vaccination be Microchipped have been wormed on a regular basis, been health checked by a Vet & have 4 weeks free Health Insurance when they are collected.
As with all Wala Registered Puppies they are sold under contract as "Pets only" & will have a "Companion Pet Puppy Contract" that will need to be signed by both the purchaser & the Breeder.
The contract includes a two Year Health guarantee.
Health Tests
The Health Tests My Dogs Have Completed
Avalon Australian Labradoodles are all Health tested before they give birth or sire any puppies.
They have hip & elbow xrays, patella evaluation, cardiac test,Bva eye test & a Full panel of Dna Genetic Tests completed for the health issues that are relevent to the breed.My Dogs are All Tested Clear.
They will also be raised & temperament tested,with "The Puppy Culture programme" to help find the most suitable puppy for each family.
Avalon puppies come from a long line of health tested dogs.
So i feel as much as possible is done to protect the puppies & give them the best healthy & loving start i can.
Avalon Australian Labradoodles want to breed Healthy Happy dogs that live fullfilled lives with a loving family.
Australian Labradoodles are normally a pretty healthy breed, but new owners need to apply the same care in raising a Australian Labradoodle puppy as with any other breed.
Wrong inviramental raising of any puppy whatever breed can encourage skeleton problems to develop, so common sense needs to be applied to avoid this happening.
They have had the very best start at Avalon so it is up to any new owner to continue that care,good quality food, use common sense & remember they are puppy babies, they have soft bones that need to develop & grow at a gentle slow & steady pace.
Feeding
Feeding
I use a high quality puppy food Manufactured in the Usa, who by Law have to make animal food from human grade meat & ingredients,unlike the uk, i give the same food to the mother throughout her pregnancy.
The Highest ingredient should allways be meat,my food also contains fruiet vegetables carefully selected herbs added vitamins & minerals that a growing puppy needs,the one i use is grain free.
You could ask a hundred different dog owners what dog food they prefer & im sure you would get as many different answers
some vets advise the raw recipes, but a lot more other vets say it is very bad because it is alive with e coli.
A raw diet is not something i would feed for many reasons,but it is personal choice & up to every dog owner to decide.
I find useing a high quality food i dont use as much.
My Australian Labradoodles have all grown & developed at a good steady pace,not fat or thin just right,they are bright have plenty of energy shiny coats & thier stools are allways firm.
So for me my food works well & I am happy with the results.That is what everyone should aim for.

Grooming
Grooming
Australian Labradoodles have many wonderfull attributes,they have a fleece coat ,so no dog hairs on everything you touch,they dont smell at all doggy & they are allergy friendly.
But they do need brushing a couple of times a week to keep thier coats in good order,it is a good bonding experience for you & your dog,set time aside & make it enjoyable.
You will need to brush through with a slicker brush first making sure you are getting right down to the roots,then go through with a metal comb so that it runs freely.
Australian labradoodles will need to go to a groomer for a trim on a regular basis,or you can have a go at trimming them yourself,it is not that hard,Ive seen a lot of sad scalped dogs coming out of dog groomers,.you can buy dog grooming equipment online.If you do find a good dog groomer,cherish them.
There are plenty of You tube videos showing how to trim Australian Labradoodles correctly.
If you do decide to go to a groomer please go on word of mouth recommendations,someone who is good with puppies & has patience,if your dog has a bad experience it will cause problems for ever after.
Make sure they have experience cutting Australian Labradoodles, they are trimmed differently.
If you google you will find photos of the correct way to trim a Australian Labradoodle..
Sadly there are many stories of dogs having very upsetting experiences & worst in groomers,& you dont want your lovly dog to be terrified or come out looking scalped.
