Refer to our Puppy Feeding Chart for amounts depending on weight and age. Lactose Free Milk Some puppies can develop an intolerance or an allergy to certain ingredients in food. Dairy products that contain lactose can be a prime source of trouble for your puppy so we recommend using Lactose Free Milk to avoid tummy upsets, rashes and loose stools. Give your puppy a bowl of lactose free milk once daily until puppy is 12 months old. Water Ensure that your puppy always has access to clean drinking water. Provide a separate bowl for water. Dry Dog Food Give your puppy 2-3 handfuls in a bowl each day around midday If uneaten within a day discard. We use Variety Shapes from Upmarket Pets Raw Chicken and Beef Bones From 12 weeks of age feed one raw chicken wing/drumstick/frame to your puppy every couple of days. It is important to also give your dog beef bones on a regular basis for mantaining dental hygiene. WARNING Never feed your dog chocolate or onions. Both contain ingredients that are HIGHLY TOXIC to dogs! If you suspect your dog has eaten either of these contact your vet immediately.

Add chicken mince and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked through. Add mixed vegetables and rice. Cook on medium heat for 15 - 20 minutes or until rice has softened. Divide into 1/2 -2 cup portions and freeze in containers. Defrost portions and serve with a small handful of dry dog food. How much should I feed my puppy? Maintaining ideal body condition is key to encouraging proper growth in all puppies. View our Puppy Feeding Chart for amounts based on age and weight. The indicated amounts are only a guideline. If your puppy becomes overweight, a reduction of your puppy’s daily food intake may be appropriate. As puppies near adulthood, their calorie needs may drop, and your puppy may begin leaving some food in the bowl. Don't misinterpret this as an indication of dislike for the food. Instead, begin offering less so your puppy doesn't overeat and stays in ideal body condition. View the Your Dog’s Weight and Body condition page for more information.

See how our intentional, welfare-led puppy raising approach helps puppies cope with routine changes, build confidence, and thrive in family environments. The Family First Foundations Program A structured, welfare-led approach to raising calm, confident family companions. At Puppies Downunder, we don’t believe great puppies happen by chance. They are raised through intention, structure, and consistency. The Family First Foundations Program is our developmental framework used across our breeding program to support puppies from birth through to family placement. It focuses on emotional stability, routine, and real-world readiness, rather than overstimulation or novelty-based methods. This program underpins how our puppies are raised, prepared, and matched with families. Why we created the Family First Foundations Program Many puppy issues families experience later, such as anxiety, excessive barking, poor settling, or overwhelm, are not breed problems. They are developmental and environmental. Our program is designed to: * support nervous system development * encourage calm regulation rather than constant stimulation * build confidence without pressure * prepare puppies for real family life, not just cute moments It is especially suited to: * families with children * first-time dog owners * households with existing pets * retirees or quieter homes * families seeking calm, stable companions The 6 Stages of the Family First Foundations Program There are 6 Stages of the Family First Foundations Program Each stage builds on the one before it. We do not rush puppies forward before they are ready. Stage 1 Early Handling and Human Trust Birth to 2 weeks What we focus on * gentle, consistent human handling * calm, predictable care routines * low-stress human contact Why this matters This stage helps puppies associate humans with safety and calm. Early positive handling supports trust and reduces stress sensitivity as puppies grow. Outcome Puppies are comfortable with gentle human interaction and handling. Stage 4 Social Learning and Boundaries 6 to 8 weeks What we focus on * appropriate puppy-to-puppy interaction * observing social cues * early boundaries * calm group environments Why this matters This stage supports social awareness without encouraging rough, chaotic behaviour. Puppies learn how to interact respectfully. Outcome Better social skills and reduced over-arousal. Stage 2 Calm Exposure and Sensory Confidence 2 to 4 weeks What we focus on * gradual exposure to everyday sounds * varied but controlled environments * different textures and surfaces * maintaining calm, predictable routines Why this matters Overstimulation at this stage can increase anxiety. We prioritise exposure without overwhelm to support emotional resilience. Outcome Puppies develop confidence without becoming hyper-aroused or reactive. Stage 5 Crate, Routine, and Transition Preparation 7 to 8 weeks and beyond What we focus on * gentle crate introduction * short separations * routines aligned with home life * preparing puppies for change Why this matters Transitions are where anxiety often begins. Preparing puppies before they leave reduces stress and supports smoother settling at home. Outcome Puppies transition more easily into new environments and routines. Stage 3 Routine, Rest, and Regulation 4 to 6 weeks What we focus on * structured sleep and rest cycles * calm feeding routines * short, age-appropriate independence * reducing reliance on constant attention Why this matters Puppies need to learn how to settle and self-regulate. Constant stimulation can create poor coping skills later. Outcome Puppies learn that rest is safe and normal, not something to resist. Stage 6 Family Matching and Ongoing Support From take-home day onward What we focus on * realistic matching guidance * setting clear expectations with families * supporting routines already established * lifetime breeder support Why this matters A good match and ongoing guidance dramatically improve long-term success. Outcome Families feel supported, informed, and confident as their puppy grows. How this program is different to others Many breeders highlight a single activity or trend. The Family First Foundations Program is a complete developmental system, not a novelty. It is: * structured rather than ad-hoc * calm rather than stimulating * scalable across all breeds * appropriate for regulated breeding * focused on long-term outcomes This approach reflects our commitment to welfare, transparency, and family suitability. How families benefit Puppies raised under the Family First Foundations Program typically: * settle faster in new homes * cope better with routine changes * show lower anxiety behaviours * adapt more easily to family life * respond well to ongoing training While every puppy is an individual, strong foundations significantly improve outcomes.

THE CAVOODLE What is a Cavoodle? A Cavoodle also known as a Cavadoodle or Cavapoo, is a mixed breed consisting of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. These two breeds together create an ideal family pet that is affectionate and has an eager to please temperament of a Cavalier as well as the intelligence, trainability and low shedding coat of a Poodle. The Cavoodle Temperament Cavoodles are affectionate, non-aggressive, eager to please, playful, friendly and loyal. They are very sociable and friendly which when combined with proper socalisation and training, get along with all age groups of people, other dogs and cats. Cavoodles and Health Cavoodles have diverse genetics due to being a mixed breed. This makes them less likely to develop genetic disease when bred by a responsible breeder who genetically tests the parents. The main genetic diseases that can appear in Cavoodles are: PRA – Progressive Rod Cone degeneration of the eyes, this comes from the genes of the Poodle. Episodic Falling Syndrome – During periods of excitement the dog’s muscles stiffens and the dog collapses, this comes from the genes of the CKC Spaniel. Degenerative Myelopathy – This disease causes a progressive degeneration of the spinal cord in older dogs, this occurs in both poodles and CKC Spaniels. Puppies Downunder conduct full breed profile genetic testing on all our sires and dams. We carefully select which dogs we breed together and only breed from Clear to Carrier or from Clear to Clear. Ears Cavoodles have long ears and can sometimes have fur growth inside making them more prone to dirty ears and ear infections. Always check your Cavoodle’s ears for any foul smells or build up of debris. Regularly clean their ears and pluck any fur that is growing inside when required. If you suspect your Cavoodle has an ear infection take your Cavoodle to the Veterinarian for advice on treatment. Eyes Cavoodles can develop dry eyed syndrome or cataracts,. Check your Cavoodle’s eyes on a regular basis and if you notice anything of concern, take your Cavoodle to your Veterinarian. Hips and Knees Cavoodles can develop Hip Dysplasia although this is uncommon, this is most likely to happen due to improper nutrition, not enough exercise or too much exercise. Luxating Patella (Slipping Kneecaps) is more common in toy Cavoodles; this causes your Cavoodle’s knee to slip out of the joint and has a grading system on the severity of it. Seek veterinarian advice if you suspect your Cavoodle has either of these conditions. What size do Cavoodles grow to? Cavoodles are a mixed breed so they don’t have a set breed standard of size; the size can vary due to the generation and the parents of the dog. If you’re unsure what size your puppy will grow to ask to see the parents to get an idea of the size. Our Cavoodle puppies at Puppies Downunder have a size range of: Height: 28-40cm Weight: 8-15kg Do Cavoodles Shed? This varies depending on which breed/parent they take after as well as the individual puppy’s coat. There are 3 coat variations as well as single and double coats. Wool A single coat of densely packed curls Fleece A single or double coat with waves Hair A double coat with a wiry top coat on top of a fuzzy undercoat. Single Coat No undercoat Double Coat Top coat and Undercoat All dogs shed their old fur so new fur can grow in, and all dogs produce dander (dead skin cells). Depending on the kind of the coat the dog has deems it less or more likely to trigger allergies. What is the Best Coat for Allergy Sufferers? Dogs with a wool (curly) single coat are more suitable for those suffering with allergies. These coats have the lowest allergens due to curls that catch dander and are low shedding. Dogs with wool single coats shed slowly and their curls help trap hairs as they fall out. These coats are high maintenance requiring daily brushing. This should be done with a high-quality slicker brush which helps detangle surface hair and remove dander, dirt and debris. Low Maintenance Coats If allergies are not an issue and a low maintenance coat, is preferred, a fleece or hair coat would be most suitable. This type of coat is average to low shedding due to undercoat hairs falling out and new ones coming in. How Active are Cavoodles? Cavoodles have a moderate activity level. They require daily 30 to 60 minute walks per day as well as playtime and mental enrichment. Please note: Exercise should be kept to a minimum for Cavoodle puppies as over-exercise can cause skeletal damage and long-term health issues. Looking for a Cavoodle Puppy to adopt?

Puppies do not instinctively know how to swim Even breeds known for swimming need calm, gradual exposure. Never assume a puppy can float or manage on their own. Supervision is essential Pools, rivers, beaches, dams and even shallow water can pose risks. Always stay close and actively supervise your puppy near water.
