Sweetest Doodles

Welcome to Sweetest Doodles. We produce healthy, happy, beautiful, super smart and sweet Goldendoodles, labradoodles and cockapoos.

Family Raised

All of our dogs are lovingly raised in our home or by a devoted guardian family.

Health Tested & Guaranteed

Our dogs are health tested through Embark and health guaranteed! Each puppy is examined by our licensed Vet and will come with first shots and deworming.

Empowered Breeder

At Sweetest Doodles we have over 11 years experience of raising puppies. Our continued research and practices ensure an amazing puppy that is ready to adapt to new situations and become a wonderful member of your family. We are part of the Badass Breeder family!

ENS & ESI

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) is a training program that introduces mild stimulations to very young puppies (days 3-16). This curriculum helps encourage neurological growth, which improves the development of the pup’s immune system, cardiovascular system, and stress tolerance.

Early Scent Introduction (ESI) is a training program for puppies designed to enhance their ability to identify and react to specific scents. Starting at day 3-16, we introduce a strong scent to the puppy for brief intervals, and record the puppy’s reaction. ESI has several benefits—improved confidence and stability, greater nose awareness, and more adaptive to change. This is very important for and improves abilities to become therapy dogs.

Sound Training

As soon as puppies start opening their ears (around 2 weeks of age) we start sound training. We live in a world full of loud, new and unusual sounds. All of these sounds our dogs will encounter—from noises inside the home (such as the vacuum or dishwasher), to environments such as the dog parks (birds chirping or dogs barking), and the outside world (traffic, storms, fireworks). Teaching a puppy to be comfortable with all sorts of sounds is key to having a well-balanced and behaved dog.

Socialization

Teaching a puppy positive socialization at an early age is crucial to creating a well-balanced dog. Our puppies are handled and played with on a daily basis with adults, children, grandparents, and other animals.

Desensitizing

We acclimate the puppies to foreign objects and new surroundings each day. This practice helps them adapt more easily to new surfaces and environments later on in life. We introduce new areas in the home/yard, offer unique toys, and have them play on sensory mats. We are cautious and mindful of puppies fear periods to ensure that we are never scaring them, but instead creating positive experiences.

THE PROCESS

Puppies are picked by families in the order that deposits are made. So if you are the first to make a deposit on this litter, you get first pick. This is after breeders pick, if we choose to keep a puppy from a litter. Then 2nd to make a deposit gets 2nd to pick etc.I will post pics of each puppy at about 1 1/2 weeks and 4 weeks and then families are welcome to visit the puppies in person at 6 weeks and pick which one they want or we can Face Time. If you decide on a name, we will call your puppy by that name.At about 6 weeks I will email you a puppy packet full of great information.Puppies have their first visit with the Vet at 8 weeks old where they will receive their first vaccinations and a full examination. They are then ready to go to their new families.

Frequent questions

What puppy food have they been eating?

We feed our puppies the Costco extra premium puppy food. It is important to feed your dog a “premium” dog food. Premium dog food will include meat for protein, vitamin-packed vegetables and fruit, and omega fatty acids for a shiny coat. It will also have fewer fillers such as corn, wheat, and soy.

How much food do I feed my puppy?

Here is a puppy feeding chart to better guide you about how much food you should feed your puppy per day. It is always good to check the guide on your puppy food package as formulas vary. It is also good to check with your vet.
Weight 6-12 Weeks 3-4 Months 5-7 Months 8-12 Months
3 – 5 lbs 1 – 1 1/3 cup 3/4 – 1 cups 1/2 – 3/4 cups 1/2 – 2/3 cups
5 – 10 lbs 1 1/3 – 2 1/2 cups 1 – 2 cups 3/4 – 1 1/2 cups 2/3 – 1 cups
10 – 20 lbs 2 1/2 – 4 cups 2 – 3 1/2 cups 1 1/2 – 2 2/3 cups 1 – 2 cups
20 – 30 lbs 4 – 5 3/4 cups 3 1/3 – 4 1/2 cups 2 2/3 – 3 2/3 cups 2 – 2 3/4 cups
30 – 40 lbs 5 3/4 – 7 cups 4 1/2 – 5 2/3 cups 3 2/3 – 4 1/2 cups 2 3/4 – 3 1/3 cupshttps://www.caninejournal.com/how-much-food-should-i-feed-my-puppy/

How often do I feed my puppy?

We feed puppies that are 8 weeks old 3 x per day but they are also nursing a few times a day. Once they go home and do not have nursing “snacks” between, they should be fed 4 times a day until they are 12 weeks, then it may be reduced to 3 x per day. Once the puppy reaches 6 months old you may begin feeding them 2 x per day.

How long do you feed a puppy puppy food?

Puppies are growing and developing every day, and require a food that meets those high-energy demands. Large breed dogs can take up to 2 years to reach full maturity. Your puppy has large breed and small poodle genes. I recommend slowly transitioning your puppy to adult food starting when he is about 1 yr to 18 months old. But it is a good idea to ask your vet.
https://www.cesarsway.com/dog-care/nutrition/switching-food

When is the best time to spay or neuter your dog?

The latest research shows that sex hormones are important in the development of any animal, including dogs. We know they affect psychological development as well as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and the immune system. Different breeds and different sized dogs mature at different ages. I recommend asking your Vet. Waiting until about a year and after your females 1st heat cycle before neutering them may be a good idea.https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/vets-corner/neutering-spaying-right-age-dog/

Potty Training

Doodles are so smart, obedient and eager to please that potty training usually goes very well. Starting at 4 weeks old they already know not to go to the bathroom in their whelping area. Here are some sights that give some ideas on how to potty train.

Chewing

Chewing is very important for their development. They need to chew and it is important to have lots of toys and things for them to chew. Never offer them something that is similar to what you would not want them to chew like an old shoe. They will not know the difference between an old shoe and your new favorite pair of shoes.

What size crate should I get my puppy?

We recommend measuring the length from their nose to the base of their tail, then add between 2-4 inches. Room to grow. If you have a puppy, get a crate that fits their estimated adult size and use a divider to adjust the inside space as they get bigger. Avoid too much space.

How do you estimate a puppy's full grown size?

Medium Breeds
Medium-sized breeds usually reach their adult weight between 9 and 12 months of age, with the most rapid growth occurring between 0-16 weeks. To calculate medium-sized breeds, take their weight at 14 weeks, multiply that by 2 and add that figure to 1/2 of their 14-week weight. So if your puppy weighs 14 pounds at 14 weeks: 14×2=28, 28+7=35 pounds.Large Breeds
Large breeds can take from 12 to 18 months to reach their adult weight and height, with the most rapid growth occurring between 0-20 weeks. To calculate their adult weight, there are two methods you can use:
• Divide their weight at 20 weeks by their current age in weeks and multiply by 52. So for a puppy who weighs 35 pounds at 20 weeks: 35÷20=1.75, 1.75×52=91 pounds.
• Simply double their weight at 6 months of age.https://www.caninejournal.com/how-big-will-my-puppy-get/#:~:text=Large%20Breeds,-Large%20breeds%20can&text=To%20calculate%20their%20adult%20weight,at%206%20months%20of%20age.

Labradoodle Coat

Types of coats
Wool - The wool coat has a slightly coarse feel and is non-shedding. The wool coat has a very tight curl similar to that of a poodle.Hair- The hair coat has a coarse or wiry feel to it and does have mild to regular shedding.Fleece -The fleece coat has a soft feel to it and is mild to non-shedding.Coat Stages
Generally, Labradoodle puppies start shedding their puppy coat by the time they reach six to twelve months of age. However, this varies depending on the type of coat your Labradoodle puppy has.
But usually, your pup will start to shed anytime between six to nine months of age. Losing all their puppy coats and developing an adult one is a slow and gradual process. The coat doesn’t shed all at once. It typically takes up to a year, sometimes a year and a half.
As the puppy coat begins to shed or get replaced by an adult coat, the need for grooming also increases. Once your puppy’s coat starts shedding, you will need to brush your Labradoodle puppy regularly. This is very important or else the fur will knot up with the new growth of the adult coat and will cause mats, which will only aggravate your pup.Care of the fleece coat
The most important thing is to brush your doodle often, about 2 to 3 times a week. Make sure you comb through all the hairs well and brush close to the skin. Does your labradoodle look like a ball of fluff after brushing? Then spray the coat wet with a little water and spread it with your hands. This brings the curls back into shape.
In addition, a visit to the dog grooming salon is a good idea to maintain the waves or curls. By regularly cutting the dead points, you prevent knots and tangles in the coat.

Biting

Follow these steps to teach your puppy bite inhibition:
1. Play with your puppy as you normally would and wait for him to bite you.
2. As soon as your puppy bites too hard, say “Ouch!” or “yelp”and gently take your finger or hand out of the puppy’s mouth.
3. Wait a few seconds without paying any attention to your puppy, then resume normal play.
4. Repeat this sequence as needed until your puppy starts to learn that biting too hard means the end of play time.

What to expect the first 2 years

Puppies are puppies for about 18 months. They will look like an adult but their brains and energy levels are like puppies. Your time, love, patience and training will all pay off immensely.

Cleaning doodles ears

It’s important to clean doodles ears regularly. They grow hair in their ears so check them weekly and clean them out. Also, keep an eye on them during the summer if they are in the pool a lot. Watch for ear infections. If you see your doodle rubbing their ear with their paws, they may have water or build up in their ear. You can get some drops from your Vet to keep them dried out and make them feel better. They are easy to apply.

Why do dogs love socks?

The behavior of eating socks can stem from several underlying reasons. Dogs may be seeking attention this way, or they may be suffering from anxiety and sometimes nausea.
Chewing on them makes your dog feel closer to their favorite humans. When your dog chews on your socks, they feel like they're wrapped up in a cozy blanket. In other words, this is a sign of affection, so always make sure you cuddle with your dog as often as possible.

How do I keep them from eating socks?

If your dog is excessively focused on eating socks or other non-food items, it is best to consult with a vet or behaviorist. Most commonly, though, it's just a case of the dog not getting enough alternative and appropriate enrichment. In other words, your dog could be eating your socks because of boredom!

https://caninecountry.org/why-dogs-love-socks/#::text=This%20is%20usually%20because%20after,can%20help%20ease%20their%20stress.Our reaction is very important. Our reactions can encourage the behavior. Even if they are getting bad attention from us, they are still getting attention and will seek it whatever way they can.
This is a very short but good video from Cesar Millan
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=181546210635404
If the problem is not addressed, your dog may start to eat the socks. It is possible it may go through their whole system and come out the other end but it can also result in an expensive surgery or end tragically. Knowing that this can be a problem, the first time my Biscuit started to get socks, I turned it into a positive thing and rewarded her for bringing it to me. I made a big deal about it by praising her and petting her and then and having her drop it in my hand. She started bringing me more socks.
At pupptrainedright.com they suggest:
Provide more stimulation
Mental and physical stimulation will help to distract dogs from socks and direct their attention towards other things. Make an effort to play with them more and show them toys that are safe to play with. Doggie puzzles that use food to stimulate them to solve the puzzle are very good for this.
Train Them To Drop It
Although these other methods can help to manage the problem, the most important thing you need to do is train your dog to leave it whenever they pick up a sock. Teaching a dog ‘leave it’ and ‘drop it’ commands is one of the most important parts of their training and you should do this right away when they are a puppy. If you don’t do this, your dog will pick up whatever they like and they won’t know what they are and are not allowed to play with and swallow.https://www.puppytrainedright.com/site/blog/2020/12/17/how-do-i-get-my-dog-to-stop-eating-socks#:~:text=Provide%20More%20Stimulation,are%20very%20good%20for%20this.

Gaurdian

At Sweetestdoodles we feel that each of our doodle puppies should have the opportunity to live a full life with a loving and involved forever family. It is for this reason we have a Guardian Program that will allow us to continue our breeding program, while continuing to leave a quality footprint on doodle breeds as a whole.What is a Guardian Home?
Our Labradoodle Guardian Program allows a few, select families to bring a puppy into a FOREVER home for free while still participating in our labradoodle breeding program.How Does it Work?
Labradoodle Guardian families will get the breeder’s “pick of the litter”, a puppy that we feel has the best temperament, conformation, coat quality and color. The puppy/dog will live with you as your “furever” pet, while we retain breeding rights. A mother may breed up to 4 times within about a 6 year period. We take care of all breeding, whelping, and raising of offspring, along with any costs incurred for breeding.What is Expected of a Guardian Family?
Guardian homes promise to keep their labradoodle in a good environment that will allow them to be happy and healthy. Labradoodle Guardian families care for their dog as their own pet and are asked to provide follow up immunization and veterinary care as needed. Above all, we look for guardian families who will provide a large amount of love to their wonderful labradoodle.What Else Do I Need to Know?
We notify you when we are considering breeding. We ask that you notify us when your dog is having her next heat cycle. We bring her to our home for a few days to breed with the stud. After that we wait and see if it takes. If she is pregnant, then at about 7 1/2 weeks we bring her back to our home to deliver the puppies and raise them until they are 8 weeks and are ready to go to their forever homes.Guardian families may come and visit Mom and the puppies.
This is a wonderful way to make sure every Labradoodle is happy and loved while allowing breeders the ability to improve the breed through multiple lines.
