puppy food for mini goldendoodle

Recchia My brother had one in California. I am looking for a micro or mini goldendoodle. Loves kids and is greAt with all people. Was easily potty trained! I would be so very happy yo get one! I have had 2 bischon s. One for 14 years and the second one for 13 years. My heart needs to be filled back up with some puppy love! She is the most awesome, smart, loving, patient, calm dog ever. Amazes me everyday and she is only 13 weeks old. Do not shed. His name was cookie on the site… but we named him Enzo. He grew up in a pen in a barn… so I believe that helped out with crate training. He sleeps through the night and is just so chill. I am so happy that we got him through them. Just need to be a bit patient. Overall , great process. Thank you Greenfields puppies for making sure these pups are brought up in a clean and healthy environment. So happy, and highly recommend them! Happy owner of a beautiful mini goldendoodle pup that is almost 5 months old and super awesome!! I really wish to get one as my best friend has one and they shed a little to not shedding at all! If you're looking for a dog who's not that hard to take care of and super cute, you should definitely get a goldendoodle! I would love to have a mini doodle that will be easier to exercise and live in a smaller home. I know the poodle and golden breeds are very easy to train and are friendly to all. Especially the Minnie's. Dealing with John King was very easy and we feel very comfortable. Its been a few months now and Prince is growing up to be a smart, energetic and loving pet. We are grateful and happy that we made the choice of bringing Prince home. She is sweet, intelligent, loves to play and run, gets along well with other dogs, and loves to go for rides in the car. She is an F1 and non shedding. She loves everyone she meets. She is 9 months old and was easy to train. I love hee! A dog that sheds less. We just lost our cockapoo a week ago and already miss him so much. He was 16 years old. Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by Sameer Singh Amazing dog very friendly and caring to have in the house as a furry friend!!! He is smart and very cuddly. He learned how to sit on command, walk up and down the stairs within a matter of 3 weeks of mr having him. My mini goldendoodle loves people and is very friendly. They are also hypoallergenic so perfect for anyone. My dog licks me a lot which is cute. She loves to be around other dogs and people. She is the sweetest dog ever! Super outgoing, friendly and smart. Berkowitz, Ph. So cute!! She has a cousin owned by our daughter who has a property manager in her dog Ziggy no bad habits. I love the golden retriever but grow larger than I can manage and they need a lot of physical exercise to thrive. With a few hip issues the max I can provide is walking regularly and some moderate exercises. She is now 18 months old climbs on the dog, pulls her hair sits on her, and the dog remains calm. Great watch dog, but barks way too much, that is the only problem. The grooming is expensive. We got her from a breeder father was a standard chocolate poodle, mother the retriever. She is playful and energetic and loves people. She does not care for hot weather and tends to overheat quickly. Overall, best dog we have ever owned. He was a very happy and playful dog!!!!!!! I know she's been asking for a Baby sister. My Zoey is the smartest dog. And a very quick learner. We just absolutely love our new edition. She has and continues to be such a pleasure in our home. She trained easy and is a very loving dog. I highly recommend this breed. Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by Sini Ninan My kids who are older now ages 11, 13 and 17 have wanted a dog for many years now. This breed was suggested to us by a close family friend, also a vet, and it was most certainly the best decision we have ever made. Mason, our mini golden doodle puppy, has been by our sides since the purchase and never fails to make us happy and comforted. His name is Tucker. I researched the breed before my purchase. This is the best breed on earth. I am so happy this is the only breed for me. These doodles are awesome in everyway. He is the love of my life. Thank You to the awesome breeder in Gap PA. We are looking for a mini or miniature goldendoodle F1 or Fb1 with a wavy coat reddish or cream in color. Thanks so much. They are a wonderful breed? Gracie is smart and sweet, and loves people as well as other dogs. She is our precious pup, and wonderful addition to our empty nest family!!! Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by bianca I have a week old mini Goldendoodle puppy, and she is the sweetest, friendliest pup. She is so easy to train and so cute! Looking forward talking to someone about finding you my new best friend!! I was devastated to lose my life-long companion and my sweet little Angel at the same time. Angel was only about 20lbs and very polite. She had full access to my fenced in backyard through her doggie door. She got along with anyone who was willing to pet her and with other dogs as well. She fits our lifestyle so well and my friends now want a dog just like her? This site as well was very helpful in finding our forever dog! Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by emily Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by Brandon Bolton My gf really love golden doodles and loves this one Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by Taylor Edmonson 4 months ago we decided it was time for a new family member and brought home our little mini goldendoodle boy, Paxton. Paxton has shone a whole new light in our lives as we are newly married and not quite ready for children. He has made my life x better and we will definitely be getting him a brother mini dood in the future! White My 8 month old mini golden doodle is such a great dog. He is so smart and so tolerant of my grandchildren. He was quickly house trained. Although I walk him daily, he is very active so I'm glad I have a large fenced in yard. I am currently looking for a little sister Cavap0oo for him. I would not hesitate to recommend the mini golden doodle to anyone as long as you know they are quite active. We are retired and interested in a mini. We are 68 and 69 years old. I had a cockatoo that lived to be 20 years old and a standard pomeranium that lived 17 years. I message my dogs and believe that is the key to good health! Do you have a litter coming in the spring of a mini? I already have a Siberian husky who is 2 years old. My golden doddle mini is the best his name is Kiwi and he is so sweet very smart and is getting alone perfectly with our kids and Koby our Husky. I'm very happy to have added him tp our family. We are still looking for a Wheaton. We lost ours last year , due to heart failure. A great addition to our family! Your babies are beautiful and we would like to set up an appointment to come and meet your puppies. The only days my husband is off is Sunday and Monday. So let met me know when it is convenient for you. Year old still crazy on most days even with acreage to run. Love every inch of her! They are wonderful dogs. They are loving and energetic. Our female takes after the retriever and has straighter hair and sheds a bit. Our male is super curly and doesn't shed at all. I'm allergic to dogs and my dogs do not trigger my allergies. I would definitely recommend this breed and I would not hesitate to choose this breed in the future. Not only was Mark super helpful and accommodating but the puppy, Dodge, was absolute perfection!! He has been the sweetest, most loving, well behaved little puppy! We are crate training him and he is doing great. Only gets up one time a night to go potty and then goes right back in his crate without fussing. He walks great on a leash and has already started sitting on command! We are absolutely in love with this little guy!!! His name is Charlie and he is the most amazing puppy I or anyone that has been in contact with him have ever seen in our lives. Even when we are walking around town people constantly stop to pet and play. He is the most adorable little angel pup in the world. Never bites, loves to play and cuddle and follow you around, very very good listener. I would recommend mini golden doodle to anyone interested in getting a dog. We get compliments from everyone saying how amazing Charlie is. Just lost our Golden after 14 wonderful years. However a little too big as your article indicated 30 lbs to 40 lbs at full maturity. I was glad to hear that a cross between the Mini Goldendoodle and the Miniature Poodle will give you a much smaller dog, I presume the size of a Bichon Frise, which would be more in the weight range we desire. Best dog ever!!!!! He is the best dog I have ever had. Easy to train. Lovable, smart, easy to care for. We have had 2 beautiful blk lab and 2 miniature schnauzer s. Loved both breeds.

She was a real love! Oct she passed on! Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by Brittany A great dog for kids and other people that are not going through the same way. Grimes No I am 83 and I have a stand goldendoodle. I am 83 and she is 12yrs. So when she has to be put down. I would like a smaller golden. Wray I just love the golden doodle. I have never seen the miniature before , but I am looking for a miniature top small breed dog. High energy can be a challenge for smaller living spaces. Very smart and very playful. A TON of energy and very alert. Also good with morning cuddles. Great with babies and kids. Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by Mike gray Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by DC we got our first mini goldendoodle from a nice breeder on this website, we were nervous and wasn't sure if it was the right decision, 10 months later, turns out it was the best decision ever! I need one ASAP. We decided upon a Mini-Goldendoodle because our house is small about square feet. We do have a big yard and woods for the dog to run around in. I can say with certainty that if we would have known how amazing our puppy would be, we would have gotten two. Our puppy weighs about 35 pounds, and loves people. Seriously she loves people. She gets along great with other animals. We have four pet rabbits, both she and all my rabbits spend time together, and I feel that they are all safe together. I would tell anyone that this is a great type of dog. We love ours! Rating: Goldendoodle-Miniature Breed Review by Samantha Wile I am intrested in finding out more regarding your mini golden doodle puppies. I am located in Boston, MA. Thank you! If you want a dog with equal amounts if playful and cuddley this is your dog. They are easy to maintain, train, and they shed little to none. Mostly none so if you want a dog that's playful, love able, wonderful with families and kids, alert, and AWESOME, than this is the dog for you. If you want a dog that is very easily trained, playful, lovable, and adorable, this dog is right for you. Also, they shed little to nothing and are good for people who are allergic to dogs because they are hypoallergenic. Get this dog! Good with kids and other animals!

Highly recommend. Of course I am! When else do I have time to write the newsletter? Hey, we went for over 10 years without a. Not one. Just came in from snorkeling. Water warm, sun, warmer. Day, beautiful. I love my ranch, what I do for a living and all my dogs. And want to go back and keep doing it. Not looking forward to the plane ride that takes forever, or the lay over in Seattle for three hours although I do like Seattle and then the short ride home on what is supposed to be a very windy read bumpy day. I get air sick easily. Ahh, Colorado weather! The biggest news in our newsletter would be the construction of our new office, which will I hope be done by Christmas. When I get back home and have access to my desk top computer and all the photos I have taken along the way of building the new office I will put a few in here. It will be so nice to have an area big enough to have several people sit comfortably and talk about the kind of puppy they are looking for. Right now we are using an itty bitty space that is office, storage, grooming room and exam room. With really only enough space to be ONE of those places. So, be prepared that if you have been here before, the office will be located next to the house and in a free-standing building. Wishing to continue my marriage of 31 years, I have not attempted to bring these dogs into the house but on rare occasions. The area they are allowed to be in that is part of the office will be right next to my desk and very easily cleaned. Check out our new page: Ranch Photos from Then and Now It gives some background on the ranch and what we started when we moved here and why. Ritz, our apricot sable daughter of our wonderful Lady Bug now living near Seattle and Rowdy living the good life as well, in Boulder has been retired and is now the cherished companion and pet of the family who had been her guardians. We are hoping that the new comers, Foxy, Munchie, Autumn, and Kimber-too will be able to take over for Ritz, and that she lives a very long and happy life with her family, who is moving to Kansas. You did a great job of being a mom, Ritzy. Enjoy your retirement! So, be on the lookout for a release date of the new and improved book on living with, training and understanding the little dogs, and know that there COULD be other interesting endeavors on the horizon. In the meantime, stay safe. Terry, Maui, HI, Oct 21st. On vacation but writing your newsletter. They were out there for about 45 minutes jumping in and out of the water and chasing schools of fish toward shore. In the off season, sure, but still — what a view and what a cool old hotel! Gracie is a 5th generation bulldogge from Rocky Mountain Rawhide and Jenny her very capable guardian — and now her outright owner. When it became apparent that the cancer treatment that I had gone through in and had seriously impacted my stamina and physical reserves I knew I needed to stop breeding my bulldogges. The problem was that the cancer treatment left me unable to stay up all night and be an active participant in the birthing process of my bulldogge litters. Poodle labor lasts a few hours — maybe as much as 5 or 6 hours. Bulldogges can be in labor for 12 to 24 hours — easily. And you can not leave them along during that time. You can not go to the store, stop and cook dinner for your family — and most of all — you can not fall asleep. They can not be left alone. So I had to let someone else take over. Too big of a risk to take. And she said YES! Thank goodness she did! And I am so glad! This summer to be a busy one! We HAVE been very busy and will continue to be all summer. We retired Maya this year but kept one of her silver daughters, and also kept several other goldendoodle daughters from other mamas. Solo, already in a great guardian home with a wonderful family, has passed all of his genetic tests, achieved his National and International Champion Titles, his DNA is back and the OFA Preliminaries are in. He is good to go and has taken over for his dad, Rowdy, who was retired last year as one of our two miniature poodle studs. Chewie is now a pet and is retired both from the show ring and from our breeding line. Solo will carry on. In the meantime — those of you who are guardians and past guardians who now own the dogs we used as breeding dogs — please remember to RSVP our ice cream social coming up on June 22nd. Bring your kids. Ice cream for everybody! We will have DA2PP vaccinations available to any of our dogs who need one. Games, playtime for the dogs, training tips! It will be fun! Til next time! Terry Jester Fall Newsletter Hi folks! Here I am again, in an identical bed, in the wonderful Inn at Port Ludlow in Washington state once again writing you your much deserved and long time coming newsletter. Diving off the dock, they chase each other briefly and then disappear into the choppy waves brought on by the icy wind and rain. I sure hope I get to see them again. We have three new International Champion Puppies. Rowdy, now retired and living the good life of a pampered pet in Boulder, CO produced all three. Both Cathy, with Tootie and Michelle, with Solo did a fantastic job showing the puppies even though they had never even SEEN a dog show before — much less taken a puppy into a show ring. They did a great job as is evident by all the Best of Breed titles and new championships. Thanks again, ladies! I can only devote one weekend a year to showing our dogs and puppies. We have to make it count! Retiring dogs and some new faces This last year we retired one of our most popular boys — Tango Haus Powder Valley Rowdy. A wonderful producer of beautiful, smart and capable miniature poodle puppies. His sons, Solo and Chewie, will continue his line and I hope have the same positive impact on our puppies for years to come. Retiring later this year will be our beautiful silver standard doodle, Maya. She will most likely have only one more litter, due spring or early summer of .To take their places we have our three new champion puppies, of course, Tootie, Solo and Chewie, as well as several younger dogs and puppies that are still being evaluated and tested. As a teaser, their names are: Silver that should give you a hint as to whose puppy SHE is! So guess what? You guys get a newsletter! Spring is a great time to think about signing up for a dog or puppy training class if you have not yet done so. For those who hike a lot with their dogs I suggest a rattlesnake avoidance clinic. She offers several over the year— usually starting around April — and they are reasonable priced, very comprehensive, and — most importantly — VERY effective. Her number is .Life is much easier with a well-trained dog. You can do so much more and have so much fun — not to mention a well-trained dog can have a job, like visiting the lonely in a nursing home, or entertaining residents at a rehab center or hospital. A trained dog is a pleasure and our Powder Valley Poodles and doodles are typically very easy to train — so go for it! A dog training session in downtown Fort Collins, CO. The reason is because so many have or are retiring this year. Jersey, our steadfast producer of wonderful service and therapy dogs will have her last litter this summer. And with the unexpected scaling down of our bulldog program we are trying to make up for it in our poodles and goldendoodles. Her hips were not good enough to breed. So, after having our own line of beautiful, healthy and wonderful bulldogges for so long — we had to retire our Olde English Bulldogge line. It is a wonderful program and we give them many puppies every year. The Veterans Puppies for Life program will take care of all of the training Oz will require to be the service dog Earl needs. Every veteran that receives one of our dogs through this program is a Purple Heart Recipient. You can also contact Terry Jester at Powder Valley Poodles at landline — no texts please or email at: Arriniranch aol. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page. We have some new questions and answers. If you are going anywhere with your best friend make sure he or she has plenty of COOL water in which to quench his or her thirst. Is your dog suddenly digging? If digging in dirt is a new problem it could be because he or she is trying to find the cooler dirt underneath the top layer. Make sure your pooch has shade and water. Now for the fun stuff! Our newest addition to our poodle breeding program. Bandit is a 11 month old red and white standard parti-color who has passed all of his preliminary genetic tests. Assuming he continues to do so we will be breeding him to Isis later this year. He is an AKC registered cream-colored golden retriever that we will use to replace the retired Nemo. Tinman will help us produce our very popular goldendoodles starting in the fall or winter of .I picked Tinman out of a large group of puppies because he moves so beautifully and fluidly. These small bulldogs are excellent companions and very trainable service and therapy dogs. These wounded warriors need good, solid, healthy puppies to train as service and therapy dogs for our veterans wounded in action. Tyreese turned out to be a great match for a navy warrant officer in need. Congratulations to Tyreese for finding his new best friend! Good job Claudia and Dandee!!! We can now proudly display the BBB logo on our windows and web sites. Other than to say we still need Guardian homes for puppies that will be used in our breeding program but housed by a family — perhaps YOURS — nearby Fort Collins. Talk to you later! To say these four judges liked him is putting it mildly! Good job Rocky! They get to be pets in a family AND a show dog and breeding dog. I am very lucky to have all of these folks so that I can have my dogs live with families and still get to offer top quality puppies to people all over the US. I also want to let people know that we are looking for Guardian Homes for several of our puppies this spring and summer. We have retired some dogs and are retiring more dogs as they get older and we need to replace them. We will be getting a French Bulldog male puppy this spring or early summer. Read our page about Guardian Homes to see if this is something you might be interested in. Let me know! Toni and I got the message this week we have waited so long to hear. Poor Amelia carried that baby a little longer than she wanted to and then gave birth to 9 pounds, 3 ounces of baby. We, of course, are absolutely thrilled. The cancer I fought last year had NO chance of winning once I learned I was having my first grandchild. I get to be a Bemom. I am so happy! More in May, take care everyone. Be safe, love your family two and four legs and never take them for granted. Step four Get to know your new puppy! All our moms are F1 mini or moyen goldendoodles, which means first generation goldendoodle, and our dads are mini or moyen poodles. That makes our puppies a F1B mini or moyen goldendoodle which is better for less shedding and also for people with allergies. They are known for their affectionate nature and attentive behavior. These amazingly friendly and very intelligent puppies are a result of a cross between a golden retriever and a miniature and moyen poodle. They are adorable and look like a small fluffy teddy bear in appearance. The goldendoodle has become very popular family puppies since they are great with children and incredibly loyal companion, they have the same energy and similar way of carrying themselves as a miniature poodle, as well as a gentle nature and temperament of a golden retriever. The goldendoodles love interacting with humans, they tend to trail behind their owners and just genuinely like to be in your presence. These little bundles of joy are cuddly and love to be paid attention to and shown affection to. Their high energy and silly, carefree nature make them a rather enjoyable puppy to watch and have around! Make sure you leave your name, phone number and email address. We hope to hear from you soon! Love our Penny girl! We adopted our fur baby last May. She is amazing! Excellent breeder, excellent service, fantastic dogs! Furry doodles was amazing to work with they were very prompt in responding and sending us options of puppies to pick! They are absolutely adorable!! They are mini goldendoodles formally Libby and Luella, now Izzy and Shiloh. They both slept through their first night! Furry Doodles was a great experience! I highly recommend them!! We picked up Archie previously Seth about two months ago and cannot express how much we love this boy! He has such a fun personality though he can be a bit sassy when he wants to be, but that just makes him even more special. She is smart, healthy, kind, easy to train and has an amazing temperament. As you know, neither of us ever owned a dog before, so his very growth is amazing to us. Most importantly, is his innate disposition, which I attribute to your choice of parents and his first 8 weeks. He is the perfect dog for us, friendly, smart, and eager to please. He loves people and other dogs, which makes him a favorite among our friends, of course : Crate training was a no-brainer for us and for him, because of your early introduction to it, and he learns commands so easily. So we thank you and greatly appreciate your early efforts. Here are some pictures of this cutey. In the way of background, my husband and I have two children who are 9 and 6 years old. As a family of four, we had never owned a dog before. We started researching breeds of dogs and what to look for in a breeder for over a year before we got our cockapoo puppy from Syndi. Unlike other breeders I spoke with, Syndi was very honest and responsive. My husband and I communicated extensively with Syndi both via e-mail and by phone. Syndi is a very caring and responsible breeder. Her priorities are breeding for sound temperament, which is what my husband and I were most concerned about. When we visited Forest Creek Kennels, Syndi was very welcoming and showed us around the premises. It was clear that the dogs and puppies that were well taken care of and loved. Our dog Yatzi is even better than what we had imagined. We wanted an energetic and playful dog who could keep up with our two active children. Yatzi is awesome in that she is high energy and extremely playful at the right times. She is quick to settle down at the appropriate times and has been extremely easy to train. From the first night Yatzi came home, she has slept through the night. In closing, as detailed above, based on my experience, I can unreservedly recommend Forest Creek Kennels to anyone who wants an awesome dog in their family. If you would like further elaboration, feel free to contact me at or via e-mail at sandra. Jennings dhs. From: Jessiegrls aol. From the first time I called with questions, Syndi was welcoming and helpful. At her urging, my family and I visited Forest Creek to see the puppies. We made three visits to Forest Creek and got to see where the puppies are kept and meet the parents of our puppy. All the puppies are kept in the house and surrounded by love, other pets, and family. When we picked up our puppy to take him home, he had been checked by a veterinarian and given a certificate that he is healthy. Syndi gave us a puppy care pack with directions, puppy food, a blanket which he loves to be wrapped in when he's going to sleep! She encouraged us to call with any questions and sent a follow-up email asking about the puppy and his adjustment to our home. I am very pleased with Syndi and our new puppy. We have a healthy, happy little puppy from one of her litters and I will go back again whenever we decide want another puppy for our family. I highly recommend her to anyone! He is very loved. Tommy started Kindergarten this year and Darby loves the bus stop. He is doing well with the "settle" command and sits nicely with his little tail wagging until he sees Tommy get off the bus. He's a very sweet puppy and waits until I tell him "OK" to run over for hugs from Tommy. He is a smart and calm dog and we're very happy with him. We would be happy to be a reference to anyone looking for a cockapoo from you. I've told lots of people about you so I hope business is going well. We still appreciate the attention you gave us by emailing pictures of Darby and letting the kids leave a collar on him until he was ready to come home with us. Thanks again for helping us make this wonderful addition to our family. He is a great pet! Kris Rogers From: G. He comes into a home where we have grandchildren of various ages coming and going and where we already have a Bullmastiff and a frequently visiting lab of my sons. We are delighted with our puppy. He is very healthy our vet said he is one of the healthiest pups he has seen in a long time , very bright and a joy to have around. In addition he is a gorgeous dog and loves everyone. He is training extremely well and we would certainly recommend Syndi as a breeder. She take the time and care to assure a strong, healthy, and good natured dog. I found Forest Creek Kennels when I was researching breeders of goldendoodles. I contacted Syndi and heard back from her promptly. Syndi was very accommodating and answered all our questions. She sent us several pictures of the litter and kept us updated since we were from out of state. When we arrived at Forest Creek, Syndi was out in the kennels amongst all her pups. Every one of them looked healthy, happy and well cared for. We spent quite some time in the kennels with Syndi, and were able to meet Heidi and Tripp, the parents of our mini-goldendoodle puppy. We could see first hand that all the dogs and puppies were well taken care of, had lots of interaction with Syndi, and that they were loved. She may be little, but she is feisty and full of energy. Our veterinarian and the office staff were immediately smitten with her, and she was found to be in excellent health. My husband and I are very pleased with our experience with Syndi and Forest Creek Kennels, and have already recommended her to friends, neighbors and strangers who want to know where we got such a sweet and adorable puppy. Sadie is an energetic, adorable, and friendly puppy. We constantly get comments on how cute she is. She loves to play and loves to be around people. Sadie has a great temperament. Syndi was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond to my e-mails and questions and sent new pictures every couple of weeks while we waited to bring Sadie home. Syndi was a great resource, answering our many questions as new puppy owners. Syndi's love for her dogs is obvious both on her website and in person. We visited when Sadie was 5 weeks old and Syndi graciously introduced us not only to Sadie but to her many lovable dogs. Syndi is honest and responsible with her pets and her business, and we would definitely consider her again if we added another pet to our family. Thank you, Syndi! Charlie's health guarantee has expired. Charlie didn't need it. Charlie has been VERY healthy since day one. I first learned about Forest Creek Kennel's online. After Talking to Syndi, I felt comfortable enough to send her a deposit for a dog. Syndi kept our family with updates and photos. Only problem was that was our first winter blizzard, which I did get stuck in. Syndi stayed up and meet me at am down the street from her home because the snow was too deep for my vehicle to continue. I believe we had 27 inches of snow by the time I made it home. I don't know who is more excited to see each other when I get home from work, me or Charlie Brown. Charlie by far is the funniest, loving, smartest and well behaved dog I have ever owned. I will be back in to buy another dog. But this time not in a snow storm. Sydni, do you breed poodle mother and spaniard father? Dan vogel- dvogel33 yahoo. She is absolutely perfect in every way. People are stopping us in the street when we walk her to comment on how beautiful she is and they are always what breed she is. The goldendoodle is a mixture of all of the benefits of both breeds. We have already seen loyalty and love in Koda, from her English Golden Dad, Ranger, as well as smarts from her poodle momma. Syndi was helpful from the beginning when we inquired about the puppies months before they were born. The entire process of receiving pictures and updates was fun and exciting. It is wonderful knowing that our puppy came from a good environment and from parents that were well loved! Thank you Syndi! From her gorgeous looks, to her sweet little personality, she exceeds all of our expectations! She is perfect in every way. Healthy, intelligent, and easy to train! Syndi has graciously answered all of our questions from the beginning months before Koda's birth. When we went to pick Koda up, we were pleased to see how happy all of the dogs were, playing and enjoying the grounds. It has been wonderful knowing that she was in good hands over the first few weeks of her life, and that her Momma and Daddy are well loved! Few breeders raise gorgeous English goldendoodles. Posted by Marcy Lindenmuth on August 24, at am After months of research and searching for the perfect breed, I found Syndi and Forest Creek Kennel while searching for breeders of Cockapoos in Virginia. From the first email, Syndi was super helpful and knowledgeable about the breed. She kept me updated with emails and photos when the puppies were born and we visited the puppies at 5 weeks old and again at 7 weeks old before picking our male pup. Syndi was very patient with me as a first time puppy Mommy. She answered all my questions and helped us decide which puppy would be the best fit for our active family. He loves to play and be near us. He is doing very well with his potty training, and he has been sleeping through the night in his crate since the 3rd night home. He is a very healthy and smart puppy. He is already starting to obey the "sit" and "down" commands-with a treat, of course. She had her first vet appointment yesterday at Hunter Mill Animal Hospital here in Oakton, Virginia and the veterinarian commented on how healthy and well-mannered she is at just 8-weeks. Today, I took her to work with me for a few hours and she behaved so well and just won everyone over at my school.I think we may have a new mascot. She is also a champ with the crate training.She is also impressing us with her quick housebreaking. She has only had two accidents. Otherwise, she let's us know when she has to go and gets right down to business when we take her out. I've attached some photos of little Tootsie and will continue to send them along so you can see her growing. Thank you for gifting our lives with this beautiful little dog. She is such a wonderful part of our family and has adjusted to the Patriciu household so effortlessly. Thank you for the care and love that you dedicate to your dogs. It really shows from Tootsie's great health, intelligence, and personality that you are truly a remarkable breeder. I have already started to recommend you to all of my co-workers and friends in Northern Virginia and DC considering a Cockapoo or Goldendoodle and will continue to do so. She sent us pictures of the puppy prior to our purchase and everything was handled very professionally. We would definitely use her services again. I can't believe that Bailey is going to be 13 weeks old tomorrow. She is doing great. She just graduated puppy kindergarden yesterday. I have attached some pictures of her. We got Bailey our cockapoo puppy from Syndi in February .My search for the "perfect puppy" began last summer. In my research I found Syndi on the internet. I felt drawn to her because I could tell there was something special about her. Syndi is a Christian and gives God all the glory for her dogs and her kennel. Being a woman of God myself I knew that I wanted to find out more about her. We live over six hours away from Waynesboro VA however we were fortunate enough to be traveling to Florida for a family vacation. I asked Syndi if she would mind us stopping by just to meet her and visit her dogs. She was very accomodating and made special arrangements in her schedule to meet us at the time that we would be stopping through. She allowed us to meet all of her parent dogs and to see the puppies that were available at the time. As time went on and I continued my research I wanted to wait until closer to spring to bring a new puppy home , I was able to get in contact with another past customer who also gave Syndi an outstanding reference. This family is still very pleased with their decision to choose Syndi as their breeder. This further confirmed my choice to choose Syndi. When the time came for us to choose our puppy Syndi was awesome in assisting us with the match. Because of the distance we could not visit the litter to choose our puppy in person, however I explained to her the puppy that I had in mind based on sex, size, color, temperment. When we arrived I was more than pleasantly surprised. The puppy was even more beautiful than what I was expecting. Everything about her was perfect and her color beautiful. Everything was ready for us. The puppy had been vet checked, wormed, and given her first shots. There were no unexpected surprises. Bailey is very healthy and smart. She just finished puppy kindergarden and knows several commands including sit, down, and come. She is very attentive for being just thirteen weeks old. She loves to be around all people including women, men, and children. She likes being around cats and other dogs as well. She sleeps all night in her crate and toilet training is coming along we have an active household and sometimes she slips away to another location and has an accident but I take the blame for that. I would recommend Syndi and would choose her again in the future. Feel free to e-mail me if you have additional questions. Please do not include my e mail address, but I would be happy to speak with someone whom you direct to us. Perhaps you can just paste this for your website. We are the very happy owners of "Max", a male cockapoo puppy, who just turned five months. We first met Max when he was just six weeks old, and it was love at first sight. It was instantly obvious that he had a wonderful disposition, and it was clear that Syndi had given him excellent care. Syndi also gave us great insights on the breed and guidance on how to care for him. He crate trained very quickly, and his other training is progressing well. He is very bright, and his affectionate disposition continues to be his best trait. He loves to play with our 9 year old twins, and he is very patient with them and other children. We are very grateful to Syndi for introducing us to Max, and we look forward to many happy years with Max. Syndi was everything she advertised. All the dogs at her kennel have calm dispositions and my puppy was no exception. She is healthy and has adapted to her new environment perfectly. What impressed me the most about Syndi's kennel is that the dogs are clearly well taken care of.There are not surprises either! Syndi is honest and delivered on everything she promised. She helped me select the puppy that would adapt to our lifestyle the best and she assured my deposit order in the litter was honored.I would get another puppy from Forest Creek Kennels in a heart-beat!!! I couldn't be happier! And, Syndi and her family are loving, dedicated breeders. It is obvious how much Syndi loves her dogs and her work. And all of the dogs love her. We highly recommend Forest Creek Kennels! We visited Forest Creek Kennels several times before bringing Brewer home, and it was evident that Syndi cares very much for each and every one of her dogs. Thanks to her handling of them from a young age, they are all very social and well-mannered, which is important because Brewer is so cute that everyone in our neighborhood who sees him can't help petting him! Syndi answered all our questions about Brewer and sent us home with some toys, food, and medical records for him. He is very smart and adapted to our home well. I would definitely recommend getting a new pet from Forest Creek Kennels, and actually I already have to several people in my neighborhood who have asked about Brewer! We wanted a little bundle of joy that would not strain our limited physical strength, but would bring a sense of new energy, life and hope into our home. Syndi listened intently to our descriptions of what we were looking for, and she recommended a little Cockapoo pup - that we named Lola. Lola easily lives up to our hopes every day and has brought new life, love and happiness into our home. Whatever Lola wants Lola gets is our new mantra - as well as a nice song from the good old days. When Lola was weaned, Syndi allowed us to take her home with us, and Lola has been everything Syndi told us she would be. Lola is so calm and adaptive. She apparently recognized that she needed to deal with the potential trauma of the long, noisy drive in our truck back to our home. Lola ignored everything and slept most of the way during her long trip to her new home from her first home at Forest Creek Kennel. The hundreds of miles of the long journey home were interrupted by rest stops as needed to allow Lola frequent opportunities for leg stretching and potty breaks. Her first visit to the Veterinarian was a breeze as Lola is happy and healthy — just as Syndi promised. Lola is very adept at knowing when we have enough energy to play, and she happily jumps right in to play. She is equally adept at knowing when snuggling, sleeping or quietly watching TV is what we need, and she happily settles into that mode as needed. We heartily endorse and recommend Syndi and Forest Creek Kennel. The vet says they are in "perfect health" and they are the cutest puppies in the world! Every week we take Sookie and Murray to a puppy party and all the other owners completely gush over them. They are super smart and are already house-trained at 13 weeks! Syndi is a wonderful breeder and it's great to visit Forest Creek and see how much she loves all of her dogs. We highly recommend her as a breeder. Dollie Madison, our medium goldendoodle, is such a joy! She is just as you described- laid back, but playful. She is super with the kids. You are such a nice person and on every visit that I made to Forest Creek kennels, it was obvious that your dogs adore you. I've always believed that someone is a good person if a dog truly loves them. Usually, dogs are the best judges of character. Thank you for being responsive to all my emails and for being so flexible in your schedule to allow me and my family to visit the kennel on numerous occasions. If it is okay with you, I will sing you and your dogs' praises to everyone who is interested and I will definitely recommend not only this breed, but Forest Creek Kennels. Posted by Eva Lewis on November 3, at pm I cant give Syndi enough praise and thanks for the little angel she has brought to my family. I recently picked up my male Goldendoodle and he is such a sweetheart, I dont know how I ever lived without him. Syndi is there for any question I had or will have. I look forward to sending her updates on my little Milo and possibly getting another Goldendoodle to add to my family one day. I absolutly without reservation recommend Forest Creek Kennels for your puppy needs. I had a good sense about her when I spoke to her on the phone, but when I looked in her eyes as I took Jamaya, our goldendoodle, to the car, I knew how much she cares about the dogs she breeds. As someone who became a first time pet person very late in life, Syndi was very patient in answering my questions. She is now 5 months old and an incredible dog -- beautiful, funny, and very smart. She was totally house trained at 4 months with absolutely no accidents since. Sadie learned the boundaries of her electric fence the day it was installed. The trainer called her a genius and asked could she have her if I died yes, I do pay her. I don't know how I lived without Sadie and thank Syndi so much for letting me have her. We got our cockapoo puppy, Colby, there three years ago and he is a joy: healthy, loving, and smart. We went back last summer to get one of Syndi's goldendoodles so Colby would have some company. Again, we are blessed with a healthy, intelligent, loving, playful companion. Syndi is always willing to open her kennel to visitors and makes suggestions based on what the family's needs and wants are. When we decide to add to our family again, we will definitely go to Syndi and Forest Creek Kennel. Posted by Heidi Gibson on August 3, at pm As a first-time puppy buyer, I must say I have been very pleased with my new puppy, Lilly! Lilly is not even 9 weeks old yet, and is already going up and down stairs! I specifically mentioned to Syndi that I was looking for a larger-headed female golden doodle that resembles more a golden as opposed to poodle… that is exactly what I got! If you are looking for a healthy puppy, which loves to be loved and learns quickly, then you have come to the right place. Posted by Sandy Rowicki on August 2, at pm We got a goldendoodle from Syndi just a few week ago. We are so happy with our puppy and the Vet said he was a very healthy pup. I found Syndi's website and called right away. I was impressed with how she took the time to talk with me about my puppy search, concerns, questions, etc. She allowed us to visit as often as we wanted, and we did! You could tell all her dogs were well taken care of and happy. We got to know quite a few of them my name and missed visiting after we took our pup home. I did a lot of research about choosing breeders and Syndi definitely was the best. When people comment on our dog, I tell them to take a look at her website, especially if they are looking for a good dog of their own. Syndi has even followed up and kept in touch since buying our puppy. She doesn't just 'sell dogs', she considers them her 'family', and is interested in how they are doing. We got our first male dog and I am having trouble calling it Her whenever I am talking about Rowdy. .Yes, we called our new dog "Rowdy" and he is living up to his name at eight weeks. The visit to the vet went real well with Rowdy getting a good complete check-up and one of his required shops. Brown said he was in very good over all health. We are presently potty training Rowdy and that's going fair at this point. Sometimes I think he is training us more than we are training him. .Syndi was very helpful and we could tell she loved all the dog's she has at her Kennel. Rowdy's is going to make a great "Buddy" for Judy and me. .They are the most gentle, loving, playful girls, and a wonderful addition to our family. It is obvious Syndi takes good care of her animals, and breeds for temperment. We couldn't be happier with our choice of breeder or furbabies. His name is Dudley. He is very smart and loving. He loves strangers, others dogs, children and swimming. He needs lots of attention and exercise. He is like a little kid and gets into trouble sometimes, but we love him so much it doesn't matter. He starts kindergarten this year at PetSmart. Forrest Creek Kennel was a pleasure to deal with from the beginning to the end. Syndi is a fine Christian country gal who loves what she does. Her kennel is clean and she loves each and every animal. All veterinarian papers were complete and in order. All our questions and emails were answered and Syndi continued to check on Dudley even after we brought him home. Syndi's pups are healthy and she stands behind them with her warranty. Her pups are affordable for everyone. We highly recommend Forrest Creek Kennels and we are sure your experience with them will be a great one, too. I found Forest Creek Kennels via google searching. During the time I was making the decision to purchase a puppy and become a dog owner, the Forest Creek Kennels website was a big help. The site has all the information on the responsibilities of being a dog owner and the personalities of a cockapoo and other puppies. I made the decision and called Syndi. Syndi was always available via phone and e-mail to answer my questions and walk me through the process. Right after a litter of cockapoos was born, Syndi e-mailed me pictures of the four in the litter and I was able to choose the puppy I wanted. During the 7 weeks until I was able to come get my puppy, she sent me pictures. This really meant a lot to me because I wanted to see her as she grew. When I finally came to pick up my puppy, Syndi was there waiting with a puppy pack that included toys, a blanket, food, and her shot records. I was very thrilled with the entire process. When I visited my vet two days after I picked up my puppy, my vet was impressed with how she had gotten her first shots and de-worming and told me to come back in a week to continue the shots. Overall, Forest Creek Kennels is a place I would recommend to anyone considering a puppy. All of the dogs at the kennel were very friendly when we visited and I have no doubt that Layla, my puppy, will grow up to be a happy, healthy, and friendly dog. I researched breeders for awhile when i came upon Syndi's site. I emailed her with a few questions and she got back to me very quickly and answered all my questions. I live about a 7 hour drive from Forest Creek so i was not able to go to the kennel and see the puppies, but i was so confident with Syndu, she was so helpful making sure she sent me updates on the puppies, and weekly pictures. Syndi arranged for delivery of Harry. We met them about an hour drives from our house. Harry has turned out to be a terrific puppy! She is the perfect fit for our family. Our visit to Forest Creek Kennel was a trip that was worth taking. Syndi was very friendly and showed us around we felt like apart of the family. If anyone is looking for a family pet this is the Perfect place to be. Thank you for a little ball of joy. Posted by Andrew Koss on June 20, at pm Syndi, We couldn't be happier with "Tripp" as he is enriching our lives every single day. We are amazed at his ability to learn and be superb around people.Thank you so much for making our experience of our first puppy a wonderful one, and thank you again for all your advice! I am sure that our next puppy will be coming from you and we look forward to that in the near future. We got our beautiful Standard Poodle from Syndi almost 2 years ago. She has exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Syndi interacts with all of her dogs in a way that just naturally makes the dogs and the future owners of the puppies happy. She explains things so completely and is always anxious to hear how her puppies are doing in their new homes. I was so pleased that we chose Forest Creek Kennel for the addition to our family. She is a responsible and loving breeder. A visit from a friendly pet can alleviate loneliness and isolation, reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health. It can produce a soothing effect which helps to ease pain, reduce stress and improve one's overall outlook and emotional state. Visiting Nurse and Hospice of Fairfield County recently launched its Pet Therapy program and volunteer, Harvey Kravetz, and his Certified Therapy Dog, Scooter, now bring cheer to patients in their homes, at nursing facilities and in the hospital. He is very affectionate and a tremendous source of comfort. It's amazing to see how calming the presence of a dog can be for patients. Family members and friends say that they too feel better after having participated in a visit from a therapy dog. In addition to his specialized training in pet therapy, Scooter loves human contact and lots of petting. He is gentle, friendly and affectionate. They made the front page of the South Florida Hospital News. We're so proud of both of you! Rebecca visiting the elderly. Rebecca is an angel and we at Moss Creek are so thankful to know her! Sailor - spreading the love on Halloween is a lot of work! He had to take a nap! Amber the service dog! We are so proud of her!! We have donated and bred many dogs for this program over the years. English Golden Retrievers and Goldendoodles depending on their need. At risk middle-school students are selected to participate in the Kids and Canines program located on the Dorothy Thomas campus. The puppies are trained for autistic children, assistant dogs, service dogs, etc. If you are in the Tampa area, check them out. They are always looking for volunteers! Honey is able to detect when Jenny is going to have a seizure. We are so proud of Honey and the many others doing this work! Honey Bear is from Lexie and Abraham. Jenny is now able to go to college because Honey Bear can alert her in time to tell someone. Jenny has more friends and some of her independence back. We donated every puppy in Lexie's last litter for Service work and some of the puppies are already showing signs that they too will be amazing Service Dogs. We are so proud to be a part of this! Rackley I would need a whole page just for Rackley to tell you everything she has accomplished. Cathy has done an amazing job with her! Rackley is well known at all the Gainesville hospitals. This is why Moss Creek breeds Goldendoodles. The therapy dog program at Shands at UF gives patients the chance to enjoy a fuzzy comfort that is typically off-limits in the hospital. Rackley can also be found spreading the love at a local assisted living facility. I trained Delilah - she was so easy to train, the sweetest most intuitive Goldendoodle and I knew she was destined to do great things. When I spoke to Kathleen, it was clear exactly what that was. Letting Delilah go was really hard, but I knew she was going to change Kathleen's life - and that she did! Kathleen wrote the following article for the Goldendoodle. Read the entire article here. For the last 5 years, lupus has been a daily battle. The doctors have not found the right combination to get my immune system to settle down. While I have had good days, the tests always show the disease is active and I am at risk for damage to my organs and systems. Since having the furry stress reliever in my house, I noticed I am feeling better. It is hard not to with those doodle eyes and smiles. We walk most days at least a little. When I went back to the doctor this week, he said my blood work showed I am in a medical remission. That is doctor-speak for "I have to take the medicine, but the illness is not destroying anything or giving me much trouble. Thank God! Anyway, this doctor is not the king of tact. He said it did not make sense because all the medicine is the same. He wanted to know what I was doing differently. He asked a bunch of questions. None of it was what he was looking for. I randomly said that I got Delilah about the time the numbers started to improve. He asked a few more questions and said "Well, that is it. The dog put you into remission. After a few minutes, I opened the door to see if he was coming back. The nurse said she thought he was done. She opened the chart and started to laugh. I asked what was up and she turned it around for me to see. He had written "Dog works better than drugs. Keep dog and come back in 6 months. Kelli, I want to thank you and your family for Delilah. She is by far one of the greatest blessings in my life. We have posted many times about how diabetic-alert dogs not only make life easier for those suffering from type 1 diabetes, but these animals can be life-savers. Clover joined the McKenzie family to watch over six-year-old, and just 8 days after she arrived, she made a fateful decision: She left her spot next to River's bed about 20 minutes after he was tucked in, padded into Matt and Bethany's bedroom, and with a mighty SMACK of her paw on the ground, got their attention. They got up and went in to check on River. A quick check of his blood sugar levels, and they had dropped, significantly. This is far below safe levels for a Type-1 diabetic. He was shaky, and we couldn't get him to come to. He eyes were rolling back in his head and he was very sweaty. So we gave him some juice, but he was unable to get his lips around the straw. Incredible stuff! Clover Mandy This is a post from Linda - owner of Mandy - on the forum. Linda and Mandy make an amazing team! Mandy is a sweet and mellow dog. She is always aware of what's going on around her and wants to be in the center of the action even if it's just to check out the scene. Mandy has become the neighborhood dog as everyone loves her and thinks she is so sweet. We have 2 people who have been afraid of dogs since childhood but love our Mandy and will always stop by to pet her. She is a certified Pet Therapy dog and made over 50 visits to a local children's hospital before it became too stressful for her. In the 3 years of visiting sick children she had some pretty awesome experiences that I was fortunate enough to share with her. One child about 6 years old hadn't walked in months and the hospital staff was trying to get her out of her bed just to stand. Her father spotted Mandy and I in the hallway and asked if we could come over to his daughter's room and wait outside the door. The little girl managed to not only get out of bed but with the help of her walker made it to the door so she could pet Mandy. The little girl cried all the way and kept asking for Mandy to come inside but with the help of her Nurse she made it. By the time the girl met us at the door we were all in tears. On a separate occasion we entered a room where a Speech Therapist had arrived and was working with a child to try and get her to talk. As soon as Mandy walked into the room the little girl said "dog" and started to climb out of bed. The Therapist asked if we could join her on a little walk and while we were walking the child continued to talk to Mandy. Before I knew it we had two Doctors and several Nurses following us and listening to the child. True Miracles! When we got Mandy I had never heard about Pet Therapy but after watching her with our Granddaughters and other children I knew Mandy was extra special. She is 9! Mombo is owned by 2 very special people. Daniel wrote about Mambo for our forum and it pretty much tells her story. We've shown excerpts here. If you search the forum for "Mambo" there are some amazing stories there Daniel has posted over the years. Mambo was actually purchased for my Wife, Terry. The idea with Mambo was Terry would take her to all her training classes, as that would have Mambo respond to Her commands. From the very beginning we had intended to have Terry be a Therapy Dog handler with Mambo. We let Kelli know this and it factored into her choosing Mambo for us. Mambo started training at only 12 weeks old, starting with basic puppy class. As you will read with all the doodles who start young, they stand out, head and shoulders above other breeds at puppy class, and at more advanced classes as well. Mambo had to take time off from about 8 months old to about a year and a half old because my Mom had moved in with us and was in dire need, not only for help, but to be watched over. Way before Mambo went to formal Therapy Dog classes, she was caring for my Mom. There was one very touching moment, where it all seemed to 'click' for Mambo.My Mom was trying to get out of a chair. I would have of course helped her, but for as long as possible, she wanted to be in charge of her own mobility. I watched her try and get up about 5 times, once after another. Mambo less than a year old, sat in front of her and watched. After about the fifth try, my Mom was frustrated. She just held out both hands perpendicular to the floor, and shook them in front of Mambo, saying nothing. Within a moment Mambo put her head between the hands. My Mom latched on to her head and Mambo slowly backed up. My Mom was UP! That one behavior was the start of it All. Mambo figured out at that Moment, her place in life. Soon she was helping my Mom get up every time, and not long thereafter Mom almost tumbled down during a walk, but reached for Mambo a little hard and I think hurt Mambo a little, but Mambo did not go down, and neither did my Mom. I guess out of a sense of self preservation, Mambo quit prancing and started paying attention. My Mom I suppose fortunately, if she is to fall, most frequently falls backward, and these days Mambo watches for that and uses her shoulder or side, to stop the fall before a fall to the ground is inevitable. Mambo with Terry Mambo returned to Class at about a year and a half. She was taught the 'normal' Therapy Dog things, such as be gentle, allow yourself to be stroked, don't bark unless requested to do so, and so on. All her classes were at Petco. Once she had mastered the basic stuff, the Therapy Dog trainer asked if since Mambo was a very large dog, as far as Therapy dogs go the average weight is about 5 pounds could Mambo be trained in special things like assisting those in wheelchairs and walkers. It was a challenge and one Terry was up for. So Mambo started training to walk along the side of folks in walkers, which are noisy without bumping them. She did the same for canes, and finally for wheelchairs. There was one person in a wheelchair for life, who was very tiny and had trouble with a manual wheel chair. The two of them became fast friends, and on their own, with time worked out a method there she would loop Mambo's leash around the front of the arm of the wheel chair, and would pull the woman around the store. From early in her house training, if Mambo picked up something she should not have, we said 'thank you Mambo' and held out our hand, she would give us what she had in her mouth and we would replace it with either a toy or a treat. Mambo transferred this training to the wheel chair lady, and if in the store she would drop something to the floor, Mambo would retrieve it and put it in her lap for a treat. Mambo is not a big treat eater, so a perfectly acceptable treat is a Thank You Mambo, a smile and a pat on the head. Most members of the organization have tiny or extremely passive dogs. Most of the handlers wanted to go to schools, or day care centers, or assisted living places. There was a HUGE need for dogs to go to depressing 'end of life' centers, or places where people go after amputations. There was a huge need for dogs to go to places where they could help with people sitting up, or stretching or moving in general, using the strength of the dog to help. This has become Mambo's specialty. Visiting such places is emotionally very hard on both the dog and the handler. A few Months ago Terry was seriously considering switching to Hospital duty, mostly involving cancer patients, many of whom are kids. She missed a couple of weeks of visiting the 'end of life' center, which not only is end of life but also a Medicaid and Veterans facility. She got cards and calls from anguished folks 'Where is Mambo, most of which also inquired 'Is she OK, has she been hurt? She was told what a huge difference she made, and even though she is not allowed to take any pictured in the facility, she was shown to a post board, which contained a clandestine acquired set of photos, of Mambo with her patients. Terry noted that even if they were in pain while stretching, or struggling to get up, if they were touching Mambo, they usually had some form of smile on their faces. Terry decided, no matter how hard the experience is on her and on Mambo, the good that comes from it, to truly desperate people, many of whom have no one else in the world, over weighs the difficulty of going there. She will miss a date, if she has to take her own Mom to a doctor's appointment, or if something else is wrong, but for the most part Wednesday's are dedicated to these most needy of needy folks, and Terry gets her warm feeling of helping, where her help is needed the most.

I'm Dixie Rae, it's nice to meet you! My foster mom says I'm the goo- rope! Is that a rope? I love ropes. Anyways, my foster mom says I'm the bounciest, goodest girl ever, even though I'm a bit easily distracted. How can you not be distracted by all of the fun things in the world?! Like ropes, and tennis balls and toys full of stuffing! Toys are my favorite, especially ones that I can pull all the stuffing out I don't eat, just toss it aside and ropes that I can play tug of war with. My foster brother and I can play tug ALL. We also like to wrestle. My two footed friends call me a helper dog because I'm really good at reading the body language of my doggy friends. I can bring my timid furriends out of their shells and back off when my furriends need a break. I make friends everywhere I go.I'm not really a fan of the cat type four footers. I learned my name super fast, and as long as there's not something better, I come when you call me. I know how to sit when you tell me, and I'm learning 'place'.Are you ready for me to move in?

Heart disease, hip dysplasia, epilepsy Poodle Bichon Frise Pneumonia, hip dysplasia, heart disease In addition, Cavapoochons are more prone to ear infections as a result of their long ears and thick curly coat. How to groom a Cavapoochon: Frequent grooming is important, and owners are recommended to brush their pup's curly coat regularly to prevent the fur from becoming matted or knotted. Gentle daily brushing can help to ensure a shiny dog coat free from dead hair, which also works to keep their skin healthy and comfortable. After wet and muddy walks, they should be given a good rinse with warm water. Bathing doesn't need to be as frequent, and overdoing so can strip the natural oils from their skin. Whenever you bathe these dogs, be sure to use a gentle-formula dog shampoo , and check their ears for dirt or potential infection. Another important consideration for Cavapoochon grooming is keeping their nails trimmed and well maintained. Most Cavapoochon owners recommend taking pups to a professional groomer on a fortnightly basis to maintain a clean and healthy coat. How much exercise should a Cavapoochon have? As a small dog breed, Cavapoochons tend to require around 30 - 60 minutes of exercise per day. Despite Poodles having bundles of energy, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Bichon Frises tend to require less exercise, which means Cavapoochons are well suited to living in apartments. Dog nutrition charts help to show owners the nutrients dogs require for a balanced diet - made up of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. When your Cavapoochon arrives home, it's a good idea to seek feeding advice from your local vet. Always make sure to check for dog safe fruit and vegetables, and contact your vet before feeding your pup anything new or unfamiliar. Is a Cavapoochon right for me?

If you are considering getting a Cavapoo, be sure to do your research and find a reputable breeder. Cavapoo History The Cavapoo dog breed may have existed naturally over the years, but designer breeders in Australia started intentionally mixing Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Poodles in the late s. Breeders wanted to mix the outgoing and calmer nature of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with the intelligence of a Poodle. Since Poodles tend to shed less, they were also selected in an effort to create a mixed breed for allergy sufferers. Breeders continued to create Cavapoos as demand for the mixed-breed pups climbed. Even though the Cavapoo mixed breed got its start as a designer breed, some have ended up in shelters or in the care of rescue groups. Consider adoption if you decide this is the breed for you. Check your local shelters, look up Cavapoo rescues, or check with breed-specific Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or Poodle rescues, as they sometimes take in mixed-breed dogs and find homes for them. Cavapoo Size As the Cavapoo is a relatively new breed, there are few standards when it comes to size. That said, as a mix between Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle parents, you can expect Cavapoos to be small to medium, depending on the size of the Poodle parent. Most weigh in at nine to 25 pounds and range in height from nine to 14 inches at the shoulder. That said, many can be smaller or larger. Cavapoo Personality Cavapoos have boomed in popularity because they have such an amicable and winning personality. That said, the Cavapoo is not a dog that tolerates being alone very much, and they could experience separation anxiety if not properly socialized and trained. The Cavapoo is an intelligent breed and lives for your validation and praise. This makes Cavapoos fairly easy to train, as they are eager to please. Cavapoos can be athletic too, which makes them great when it comes to agility and obedience competitions. As they can be somewhat attached-at-the-hip, it is important to train your Cavapoo early so they know how to be alone. Without proper training, your Cavapoo could turn to destructive behaviors, like chewing furniture and shoes or rooting through the garbage, when they are left alone. Cavapoos tend to get along with everyone and may even greet an intruder with a wag of their tail. Cavapoos tend to thrive most in homes where they get loads of attention, be it with a family or a senior citizen. Cavapoo Health Cavapoos are generally healthy dogs, but they can be prone to some health problems that are common in both Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Poodles. MVD can cause a variety of symptoms, including coughing, difficulty breathing, and fainting. Progressive retinal atrophy PRA is a group of eye diseases that can lead to blindness. PRA is a genetic condition that is not curable, but there are treatments that can slow the progression of the disease. Hip dysplasia is a condition in which the hip joints do not fit together properly. This can cause pain and lameness. Hip dysplasia is often treated with surgery or medication. Luxating patella is a condition in which the kneecap slips out of place. Luxating patella is often treated with surgery or physical therapy. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes seizures. Epilepsy can be controlled with medication, but it is not curable. Syringomyelia is a condition in which fluid builds up in the spinal cord. This can cause pain, weakness, and other neurological symptoms. Syringomyelia is often treated with surgery or medication. Dental problems are common in all dogs, but they are especially common in Cavapoos. Cavapoos are prone to tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease and tooth loss. Allergies are also common in Cavapoos. Allergies can cause a variety of symptoms, including skin problems, ear infections, and respiratory problems. Your vet can help you develop a care routine that will keep your dog healthy. Cavapoos are somewhat prone to weight gain, and they can have heart issues if they do not maintain a healthy weight. Make sure your dog gets at least one good half-hour- to hour-long walk per day with a few good, active play sessions and shorter walks mixed in. Check their ears for debris and pests daily, and clean them as recommended by your vet. They should not be clicking loudly against the floor. Your groomer can help with this. You should brush their teeth daily, as smaller breeds are prone to dental issues. Cavapoo Feeding An ideal Cavapoo diet should be formulated for a small- to medium-sized breed with high energy levels. Limit their amount of treats, as well. They can be a variety of colors , including cream, fawn, chocolate, gold, chestnut, and white. They can sometimes be solid colors, but often they are chestnut and white, or they can even be tri-colored. They usually have short, soft, and wavy or curly coats. They can become quite the fluffballs, though, and require regular grooming. Because of their Poodle parent, they are somewhat less prone to shedding, which is why some allergy sufferers do well with Cavapoos. Their curly coats make them able to tolerate moderate cold and heat. Like all dogs, however, they should not be left outside in either extreme warm or cold temperatures. Cavapoo Children And Other Pets Because the Cavapoo can be on the smaller side, they can get easily hurt by overly excited children, especially younger ones. It is important that any kids in the house know how to safely approach and play with your Cavapoo. Having said that, the Cavapoo loves everyone and generally enjoys romping around with kids. When it comes to other pets, Cavapoos can get along with other animals as long as they are introduced in a calm, slow manner. Cavapoos are generally friendly dogs, and they can get along with other dogs and even cats when properly socialized. Many Cavapoos get along just fine with other dogs and cats, so it really comes down to training, socialization, and the luck of the draw. Cavapoo Rescue Groups It may be hard to find a breed-specific rescue for Cavapoos because they are a mixed breed. However, you may want to try Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or Poodle breed-specific rescues, as they often care for mixes, as well. Here are some rescues you can try: Carolina Poodle Rescue Cavapoo Breed Organizations Finding a reputable dog breeder is one of the most important decisions you will make when bringing a new dog into your life. Reputable breeders are committed to breeding healthy, well-socialized puppies that will make great companions.

Hypo- means less hypothermia is having a lower than normal body temperature. No dog can be said to be completely non-allergenic. Studies have shown that doodles are less likely to cause allergies, particularly f1b doodles.

As with a lot of stories, my first Golden did not turn out for show, but after many years I found Karen Brady KaraGold in Florida and bought my Sissy, who easily finished her championship and went on to become my foundation bitch. My husband and I live on an acreage in Goddard, Kansas, just outside of Wichita. We love spending time with our four legged friends. In fact Jim, who is an Equine Veterinarian, would have a hard time unwinding at the end of the day without taking his buddies for a long walk and a swim. We love our home and our family and hope for many more years of showing and breeding Goldens. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. One that is most outstanding in my mind is that as a breeder I must breed selectively, and breed only for the best! Not only is the Golden Retriever Breed depending on me and other reputable breeders to do this, but so are all the folks hoping for that Best In Show dog, and especially all the families that just want a wonderful pet. So my dream has been fulfilled and I accept the responsibility of doing my absolute best for our beautiful breed. Share 3 Shares Golden Retrievers are superb dogs.

Each puppy food company has a different amount of calories and size of the kibble. Here are a few things that might affect how much your German Shepherd puppy should eat.

German Shepherd care German Shepherd puppy diet: newborn For a German Shepherd puppy to develop and grow properly, it is imperative that they first nurse on their mother's milk. The first milk they receive is a protein and antibody-rich type of milk known as colostrum. This gives the puppy's immune and central nervous systems a boost. They then progress on to regular breast milk. Puppies will nurse for at least 6 to 8 weeks, gradually being weaned on to solid food at about 4 weeks. If, for any reason, the puppy cannot suckle its mother, don't give them cow or goat milk. These milks are very poor quality in comparison to a puppy's mother's milk. If your German shepherd puppy has to be prematurely weaned, a veterinarian will be able to prescribe specific infant formula and establish the appropriate dosage for your puppy. For example, a Chihuahua and a German Shepherd should not be fed the same food. This is because hese breeds have different nutritional needs. Take a look here to find out more about the diet for a prematurely weaned puppy. German Shepherd puppy diet: 1 month old From 3 to 4 weeks old, when it comes to feeding a German Shepherd puppy, we should start by letting them taste new foods and flavors. At this stage, the German Shepherd puppy's diet plan requires them to eat a special wet food for puppies. At around 6 to 8 weeks old, a German Shepherd puppy should be given a little dry dog food with water, or unseasoned chicken stock between nursing sessions. From their eighth week onward, a German Shepherd should be weaned and start feeding on solid food with a special puppy feed. The best dog food for a German Shepherd puppy is breed specific, but this may not be available everywhere. In these cases, your veterinarian can create a proper food plan for your German Shepherd puppy. At this stage, milk must be removed from the puppy's diet as it could cause diarrhea. If by any chance your dog or puppy is suffering from a bad stomach, we recommend taking a look at our article on what to do if yourt dog has diarrhea. In addition, it is vital that puppies have constant access to clean fresh water. German Shepherd puppy diet: 2 months old At two months of age, you can start to slowly decrease the moistening of your German Shepherd's dry food. Eventually, the puppy will be used to eating the food completely dry. Following the German Shepherd puppy food chart, from 2 until 4 months old, a puppy will eat 4 or 5 times a day. This has to be carried out with one very important addition: discipline. A puppy needs to learn that it will not be fed constantly throughout the day, but at specific times. We start of by placing a bowl of food down for 10 minutes, this should give the puppy enough time to finish its meal. After 10 minutes, we suggest taking the bowl of food away, even if your puppy hasn't finished eating. A puppy's food bowl must only be available to the dog for 10 minutes. This 10 minutes should be enough time for the puppy to eat all of its provided food. As already mentioned, after 10 minutes, you should take the food bowl away, even if the puppy hasn't finished eating. This pattern will introduce the puppy's food schedule and allow it an opportunity to become accustomed to particular feeding times. Accepting and adapting to a diet plan is very important for a puppy's intellectual development. It also facilitates more complex and demanding training sessions. Food for German shepherd puppies should be higher in calories, fats, proteins and calcium than adult German Shepherd dog food. This is because puppies are still growing and developing and therefore need better nutrition. German Shepherd puppy diet: food plan after 4 months Between 4 and 6 months of age, the number of meals which we have detailed in our German Shepherd puppy food chart should be reduced to 3 a day. The food quantity should be increased and an extra margin of 2 minutes to eat should be provided. The packaging of quality commercial dog food will detail the appropriate suggested amount of food for the puppy, depending on its age and weight. If you have any doubts, consult your veterinarian. You should eventually start mixing fresh food, such as meat, fish or vegetables, with the commercial dry feed. Beware of forbidden foods for dogs. Some people ask about a raw diet for a German shepherd puppy, but we recommend these such foods should always be cooked and never given to a dog raw. Meanwhile, treats for dogs should only be used as positive reinforcement during their training and learning period, never as a food supplement. Under no circumstances should you give your German Shepherd, or any dog, human food leftovers. Human food contains salt, sugar and seasoning contents which are very harmful to a dog's health. In addition, if you do offer your dog your food, it will pester you during meals [1]. For more, take a look at some of the harmful effects of treating a dog like a human.

When Your Puppy Comes Home Although they look pretty sturdy at eight weeks old, German Shepherd puppies are vulnerable to tummy upsets when they arrive at a new home. To help them settle in stick with the food their breeder was giving them for the first two weeks minimum. You can then gradually swap over by increasing proportions over the course of a couple of days. However, if they are doing well on their original food, considering sticking with it for longer. To begin with follow the guidelines provided by the breeder, the feed manufacturer or by your veterinarian. This will vary depending on how calorie dense the food is and how it is formulated.

What to Feed A German Shepherd Puppy You will find there are a lot of different opinions about what kind of food is best. Kibble and wet food are the most popular, but you do also have the option of raw or homemade meals. Puppy Kibble Great quality, high meat content kibble is my go-to for feeding larger puppy breeds. At the beginning of the day I measure out their daily food amount, then separate it into little pots. Some as meals, and the remainder to use throughout the day to reward good behavior or get off on the right foot with positive reinforcement. The FDA recently issued a notice alerting dog owners to a potential increased risk of a serious heart condition. This is called canine dilated cardiomyopathy DCM. The risk is in dogs eating foods that include peas, lentils, or potatoes instead of grains. The underlying cause of these cases is not clear, but the FDA note suggests that caution should be used in selecting foods with these ingredients for German Shepherds and other large dogs. Canned Dog Food For picky eaters canned food can be more appealing. It smells stronger, and debatably tastes nicer. These diets do not include cooked or otherwise processed foods. However, it may be more difficult to regulate a BARF diet to ensure a slow and steady growth rate in young puppies. If you find this option intriguing, you can check out our article on feeding your dog a raw diet. Homemade Diets Research has shown that in the past, poorly balanced homemade diets have been harmful to German Shepherd puppies. There is now abundant information available to anyone who is willing and able to produce a safe and balanced diet. However, modern cases studies have shown that well-meaning owners may still over-feed or create an unbalanced diet. So, this is an area where you really can have too much of a good thing. As with commercial foods, homemade diets must be properly formulated for a large breed dog. Do not deviate from recommended recipes as provided by a veterinarian. If possible, preferably a vet with a board certification in veterinary nutrition. Recipes published in popular magazine and websites may not be nutritionally complete or suitable for a large breed puppy. Is My Puppy the Right Weight? You can also refer to German Shepherd puppy growth charts to see if you puppy is gaining weight and within the normal range. However, keep in mind that some dogs will be unusually small or large but still be perfectly healthy. Do not try to maximize growth rates as this can lead to health problems later. Ensure that you are familiar with how to assess the body condition of your puppy. The ribs and spine should be easy to feel but not simple to see. My Puppy Is Still Hungry If your puppy seems excessively hungry provide more frequent but smaller meals. Young puppies cannot tolerate going without food for extended periods. With older puppies you may wish to experiment with foods that help them feel more full, and provide low calories treats. Keeping a health puppy active and occupied will help prevent them from becoming overly focused on anticipating their next meal.
