- What is a Cavoodle? | Puppies Downunder
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.

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.

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?

Labradoodle Puppy View our Labradoodle Gallery Labradoodle Breeder How To Spot An Ethical, High-Quality Labradoodle Breeder Anyone who’s spent five minutes searching for labradoodle puppies for sale in Australia will know that there’s no shortage of dodgy breeders out there. But, unfortunately, there are so many organisations only in it for the money, charging exorbitant prices and neglecting the health and wellbeing of their puppies and dogs. At Puppies Downunder, we believe buyers should be 100% informed about breeders, especially if they’re looking to source a puppy from an ethical labradoodle breeder. That’s why we’ve created this resource to help you identify genuinely ethical breeders and weed out the breeders who don’t have great intentions. How Are They Treating The Dogs And Puppies? One of the most obvious signs of an unethical breeder is the poor or neglectful treatment of their puppies and breeding dogs. An ethical labradoodle breeder in Australia will; Strive to find the right home for their puppies. An ethical breeder won’t give their puppies to the person with the most money who Googled ‘labradoodle for sale’. Instead, they go above and beyond to make sure they find the perfect home for each puppy. Usually, the search involves asking potential buyers a range of questions about their home and lifestyle, so they can pair families with a puppy that has a temperament right for them. Provide the highest quality care and living conditions. Ethical breeders ensure that both the puppies and breeding dogs have premium quality care, including comprehensive health checks, socialisation, and training. At Puppies Downunder, we always do what’s best for the puppy. For example, we’d love nothing more than to snuggle at night with a puppy in the bed, but crate training is the best thing for a puppy’s training and development, so we act in their best interests by keeping them in a clean, spacious pen. Rehome adult dogs. Puppies Downunder takes good care of our breeding dogs, and we retire females after they’ve had five litters or earlier if there is advice to do so from our veterinarian. Once the female is retired, she is de-sexed and either adopted by our internal staff or a loving family. Never separate the puppies early. A puppy shouldn’t be separated from the mother until at least eight weeks of age at the very minimum. Not only is the puppy not ready to leave its mother prior to eight weeks, but it’ll also miss valuable socialisation time with its siblings. Puppies Downunder waits until the puppy is ten weeks old before we allow them to join their new family. Meet and exceed all the necessary requirements. It’s absolutely essential that an ethical breeder is recognised and registered with all the appropriate bodies. At Puppies Downunder, we’re registered as full members of the Australian Association of Pet Dog Breeders and the Latrobe City shire as a domestic animal business. We comply with all codes and requirements set by the Domestic Animal Act, actively assist with inspections of our facilities, and have received approval from the Chief Veterinary Officer of Victoria to operate as a Commercial Breeder and the Minister for Agriculture. How Are They Treating Their Clients (AKA You)? Many people are so focused on the breeder’s treatment of the animals that they don’t stop to think about how an ethical puppy breeder should be treating their clients. The breeder should be asking plenty of questions. A puppy is a long-term commitment, so ethical breeders ask plenty of questions to make sure the buyer is the right fit for the puppy. Here are a few examples of questions you can expect to hear; How much space do you have? Will you be home often? How often will you exercise the dog? Do you have kids? Do you have other animals? Where will the puppy sleep? They should encourage you to visit the breeding facility. When looking for Australian labradoodle puppies for sale, you need to make sure the breeder will allow you to inspect the facility and meet the parents. By meeting the sire and dam, you’ll get confirmation that your dog is, in fact, a genuine labradoodle, and you’ll get an idea of how big the puppy will grow. You can also ensure the dogs and puppies are raised in clean, high-quality conditions by visiting the facility. If the breeder isn’t allowing you to visit or wants to drop the puppy off to you, that’s a big red flag. The Puppies Downunder team understands that not everyone can come and visit our facility, so we have plenty of photos of both the breeding facility, puppies, and dogs online. They should collect information to monitor the puppy’s progress. The breeder should try and find out the address the puppy will be living, the details of the new veterinarian, and any other relevant information needed to ensure the puppy is being well looked after. Typically, an ethical breeder will try to keep an open line of communication between the customers and themselves to check in on the puppy’s development and allow the customer to ask questions and seek support. Are They Willing To Answer Questions? If your breeder is unable or unwilling to answer any of the following questions, that’s a major red flag that they aren’t an ethical breeder. Can you provide the puppy’s medical history? Your breeder should have organised the first two vaccinations, microchipping and worming and parasite prevention, before going home with their new family. If there is no medical history or the breeder is reluctant to share that information, they’re likely not running an ethical breeding facility. At Puppies Downunder, we go above and beyond, providing a complete medical history. We also provide you with information abou t their individual dietary requirements, socialisation, registration, medications, and required vaccinations. What is the puppy’s temperament? An excellent ethical breeder should be vetting potential buyers to find the right family for that specific puppy. They can’t do that if they don’t know that specific puppy’s overall temperament. Is the puppy cheeky? Playful? Shy? Nervous? It’s so important to understand a puppy’s personality. How much exercise does the dog need? Unfortunately, a lot of unethical breeders will understate or flat out lie when telling buyers how much exercise their new puppy will need. For example, people looking for a labradoodle for sale in Australia might be told they have a moderate activity level, which is accurate. However, they may be given the same advice for bordoodle, which is wildly inaccurate for this high-energy, restless dog. An ethical breeder ensures the buyers know how to take the very best care of their puppy, so they’re 100% transparent about the dog’s needs. Can you provide references? When you’re looking for labradoodle puppies for sale, you should always ask for references. The breeder should be able to provide you with references from a veterinarian and previous customers. Do They Keep Supporting Their Buyers After Selling The Puppies? Buying a puppy is arguably the easiest part of raising a dog, so ethical breeders make sure their clients know they’re there to support them every step of the way. We offer lifelong support. At Puppies Downunder, we continue to provide support for our customers throughout the lifetime of their puppy. In addition, we actively encourage people to contact us if they have any questions about their puppy’s health, well-being, or care. Do they offer a guarantee? An unethical breeder will sell a puppy, and in the unfortunate event things don’t work out, they do nothing to support their customers. At Puppies Downunder, we provide a health guarantee for the first 21 days of sale. When a puppy is returned to us for health reasons, we will refund 100% of the buyer’s money. Additionally, if the dog is diagnosed with a disease that can trace back to the point of sale within three years of purchase, we’ll refund 100% of the purchase price. If the new puppy and their family aren’t compatible, we will work to find a solution or a new home for the puppy. Do they provide the essentials to give the puppy the best start to life? The Puppies Downunder team provides our customers with biscuits, a collar, lead, bowl, and toy, and six weeks of free pet insurance to ensure you’re completely prepared to take your new family member home.

Mini Labradoodle Breeder Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Labradoodles As a leading Australian mini labradoodle breeder, the team at Puppies Downunder hear quite a few questions about our puppies and the breed in general. We absolutely adore mini labradoodles, and we take advantage of any opportunity to share our love of them with others. That’s why we’ve put together some answers to a few of the most frequently asked questions about mini labradoodles, so you can learn everything there is to know about this cuddly, adorable breed. What Is A Mini Labradoodle? A mini labradoodle is a mix between a labrador retriever and a miniature poodle, and it creates a small-medium sized dog with the trainability and temperament of a labrador retriever and the coat, intelligence, and trainability of a poodle. Their beautiful, calm temperament and high intelligence make mini labradoodles ideal candidates for therapy pets and service dogs for individuals with autism, PTSD, diabetes, and other disabilities. Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Labradoodles If you have any questions about our mini labradoodle puppies for sale, check to see if we’ve answered them for you right here. How big do they grow? A mini labradoodle will typically grow to 30-45cm in height and around 10-15kg in weight, so they stay relatively small. What kind of person is best suited to a mini labradoodle? Labradoodles love to play, and they can socialise well with other animals and people of all age groups, so they’re an ideal breed for a range of people and families. From elderly couples to families with small children, the mini labradoodle will fit right in. Do mini labradoodles shed? That all depends on their coat. If a mini labradoodle has a wool coat, the tight curls will catch any dander, fur, and dirt, thereby minimising shedding and reducing allergies. However, wool coats are high-maintenance and require brushing every day. Do mini labradoodles have a low-maintenance coat? It all depends on the type of coat your mini labradoodle has. Fleece and hair coats are very low maintenance, but wool coats are pretty high-maintenance. How active are mini labradoodles? They have a pretty moderate level of activity, and they enjoy 30-60 minutes of exercise per day as well as playtime and mental enrichment. You’ll also find that mini labradoodles love the water, so if you take your puppy to the beach, lake, or pool, they’ll love splashing around. Are there any health concerns we should keep an eye out for? Mini labradoodles are a crossbreed, so they have very diverse genetics making them less likely to develop genetic diseases. However, progressive rod-cone degeneration, Von Willebrand’s disease, and degenerative myelopathy are the primary genetic diseases in labradoodles. They may also develop hip or elbow dysplasia if over-exercised or overfed. Labradoodles have adorable long ears, but this means they are prone to dirty ears and ear infections, do their ears need to be checked regularly. Why do I have to wait until ten weeks to take my puppy home? From birth to 8 weeks, puppies benefit from valuable socialisation time with their siblings and mother. They aren’t ready to leave the mother before eight weeks, and removing them earlier can create behavioural issues such as anti-social behaviour, separation anxiety, and nervousness. Anyone advertising a mini labradoodle for sale before eight weeks old isn’t an ethical breeder, so be wary. How should I go about crate training? We get it; you want to cuddle your puppy every second of the day including at night. However, not crate training your puppy may be doing more harm than good. Puppies that aren’t crate trained don’t learn independence and may develop unhealthy attachments. We suggest introducing your puppy to their crate throughout their first day, enticing them with treats and making sure they associate the space with positivity. Open the crate door throughout the day, so your puppy can retreat to their safe space whenever they feel the need. Make sure your puppy has a separate area to go to the bathroom at night. Dogs don’t like sleeping in their own waste (and honestly, we don’t either!), so make sure their crate is large enough for a sleeping area and a toilet area. The first few nights, your puppy might cry a little bit, but they will gradually get used to sleeping on their own, and it’s far better for them in the long term. Where can I find a mini labradoodle for sale? If you’re looking for an Australian mini labradoodle for sale, you’ve come to the right place! Puppies Downunder are an ethical mini labradoodle breeder, and we take great pride in our high-quality breeding facilities and our commitment to providing a safe, comfortable home for our dogs. A Few Ideas To Help You Provide Mental Enrichment For Your Mini Labradoodle Puppy Some of the most frequently asked questions we receive pertain to keeping mini labradoodles entertained. They have incredibly high intelligence and need to be kept mentally stimulated; otherwise, they can become bored, stubborn, and destructive. So we’ve put together a few ideas to help you create mentally enriching activities for your mini labradoodle. Make them work for their food. Dogs with high intelligence love a challenge, and they love working for their food. You can either purchase puzzle or interactive feeders such as snuffle mats or Kong toys, or you can create your own DIY slow feeder bowl. We suggest having a few different puzzles in varying difficulty levels, so your puppy is always mentally stimulated at dinner time. Think of a retrieving game. The labrador retriever in your labradoodle will have an instinct to retrieve, and the poodle side will have an instinct to hunt, so try to incorporate these traits into games. Play a hide and seek game with toys and treats to let them use their natural instincts. Licking mats. Silicone licking mats are a fantastic way to keep your dog entertained. Smear some peanut butter, wet food, or baby food on the mat and pop it into the freezer. Once frozen, get it out and give it to your puppy to lick for a refreshing summer treat. Problem-solving toys. You can buy or make plenty of toys that encourage your puppy to solve a problem before receiving treats as a reward. For example, grab a muffin tray, some treats, and some tennis balls. Put treats in a couple of the openings and block them all with tennis balls. Your dog will need to snuffle and work out which balls have treats underneath. Another great DIY idea is to tie a milk carton to a string. Cut a slot in the bottle and fill it with food or treats, and let your dog bat it around to get the treats out. It’ll keep them busy for quite some time. Let your dog explore on your walks. Dogs who are allowed to sniff and explore on their walk are far more stimulated than dogs that just walk. If you’re trying to teach your puppy control and discipline, try creating a command for sniff time so they can explore for a little while and tire themselves out.

- Mini Groodle Breeder | Puppies Downunder
As a leading mini groodle breeder, Puppies Downunder pride ourselves on supporting our customers from the moment they contact us and are there throughout their dog’s life. THE GROODLE What is a Groodle? A Groodle is a mixed breed consisting of a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They are also known as Goldendoodles. Breeding the Golden Retriever and Poodle together creates a larger sized dog that has the temperament and trainability of a Golden Retriever and the coat, intelligence and trainability of a Poodle. Groodles are perfect for families, couples and individuals. Groodles are calm, laidback, friendly, intelligent and easily trainable. They love a cuddle and are very loyal to their family/companions. Their beautiful temperament and high intelligence makes them suitable to be trained as therapy pets or service dogs for those with conditions such as autism and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) . They also suitable to be trained as Diabetic Alert dogs and Assistance dogs for people living with a wide range of disabilities. Groodles love to play and can socialise well with other animals and people of all age groups. The Groodle's Temperament Groodles and Health Groodles 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 Groodles are: PRA – Progressive Rod Cone degeneration of the eyes, this comes from the genes of the Poodle. Von Willebrand’s Disease – A bleeding disorder caused by low levels of clotting protein in the blood. Degenerative Myelopathy – This disease causes a progressive degeneration of the spinal cord in older dogs, this occurs in both Poodles and Golden Retrievers. 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. MINI GROODLE BREEDER Groodle The Step-By-Step Guide To Bringing Home A Mini Groodle Buying a puppy is a daunting task, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly; after all, you’re welcoming a new member into your family! Although the Puppies Downunder urges families to take their decision to buy a puppy seriously, we also believe that people should have access to support throughout the entire adoption process. As a leading mini groodle breeder, we pride ourselves on being there for our customers from the moment they contact us and support them throughout their dog’s life. We’re here to step you through the purchase and adoption process, so you know exactly what to expect when buying a mini groodle from Puppies Downunder. Suki and Chungus F2 Mini Groodles 956000016640558M A Few Things To Do Before You Buy A Mini Groodle Before you start searching for a mini groodle for sale, there are a few things you need to check and do to make sure you’re ready for the commitment. Check the budget. A lot of people think the cost of the puppy is the thing they need to budget for, and while it’s the most substantial initial outlay, it’s by no means the only investment you’ll need to make. You’ll need to make room in your budget for all the toys, grooming supplies, and food, as well as regular vet visits, registration fees, insurance, and any amendments you need made to the house to make it puppy-safe. Make time to bond with your puppy. We suggest taking a week or two off work so you can settle your puppy into its new home. Trust us; you’ll want to spend every moment with your new puppy. Do some research and planning. If you’ve never raised a puppy before, it’s a good idea to research what to expect and training techniques. You should also read into crate training methods to teach your puppy independence and reduce the chances of anxiety development. If you’ve had experience with training puppies, make sure you brush up on the unique nuances of the mini groodle breed, so you’re ready to hit the ground running. Consider booking your new puppy into puppy school, so they have plenty of opportunities to socialise with other people and dogs as well as learn a few tricks. As a leading mini groodle breeder, the Puppies Downunder team can give you some expert tips and tricks to help you train your mini groodle. Consider registration and insurance. You’ll need to register your puppy once you bring them home, but different councils and districts have different rules for how and when you can register. You should also look through options for insurance policies and choose the best one for your mini groodle and your budget. Remember, the earlier you organise insurance, the better your premiums will be as your dog grows older. Suki F2 Mini Groodles 956000016664189F Why Choose A Mini Groodle Over A Full-Sized Groodle? If you’re tossing up between a full-sized groodle or a mini groodle, here are a few things to consider that may help you decide. Are you limited on space? Groodles are a mix between a poodle and a golden retriever, so they grow to be big dogs. If you live in an apartment or a townhouse, they might be too big to keep indoors. On the other hand, mini groodles are pred with a miniature poodle, so they only grow to be around 35-40cm in height and 10-15kg in weight, which is ideal for apartment living. Mini groodles tend to live the longest. The average groodle has a life expectancy of around 10-15 years, and mini groodles usually live the longest. They’re just as intelligent, affectionate, and playful as their full-sized relatives. All the things you love about the groodle are exactly the same in a mini groodle; it just comes in a smaller package. They stay a little teddy forever. People love groodle puppies because they look like cuddly little teddy bears. The best part about mini groodles is that they stay little!

- Your Dog's Weight and Body Condition | Puppies Downunder
All you need to know about your dog's weight and how to assess your dog's body condition using our body score condition guide. Assessing Your Dog's Weight and Body Condition Weight and Body Shape Archie bear Archie has an IDEAL body Conditon Archie bear Archie has an IDEAL body Conditon 1/1 Is My Dog Overweight? Do you ever wonder if your dog is under or overweight? Your dog's weight and body shape can have a huge impact on their overall health and wellbeing. Body condition scores (BCS) are used to identify the condition of dogs. The grading system is based on the amount of fat found on the animal in various areas of the body. Each dog is given a body condition score (BCS) that ranges from 1 (emaciated/very thin) to 5 (very overweight/obese). How to Assess your Dog's Body Condition Score What do I need to do to assess my dog's body condition? When assessing your dog's body conditioning score, start by observing the dog from a distance (few feet away). View the top of the dog while standing above its back. Look for general fat distribution and body proportions. It is important to remember that certain conditions such as pregnancy will change the general appearance of the dog. After observing your dog from a distance, physically feel the ribs, waist and hip regions and use the body conditioning score chart to determine what your dog's current score is.
