Food: We ask you to feed a no corn, no wheat, no soy high quality, scientifically formulated, balanced puppy food for the first year, such as Purina Pro Plan. Avoid grain free, and avoid vegetarian diets. We current;y feed our Sporting Doodle puppies Purina Pro Plan Puppy No Corn, Wheat, or Soy. They offer many choices: salmon, chicken, lamb.... The cost is a bit more, but typically the dog does not require as much and will be healthier in the long run. After one year of age, adjust the protein level of the well balanced food to the level of activity of the dog. Also don't forget that a good probiotic, such as Purina FortiFlora, helps to promote healthy digestion as well as a good immune system.
This warranty does not include viral illnesses, infections, improper bites, hernias, hypoglycemia, Giardia, parasites, worms or Coccidiosis. It also does not include any illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals or physical injury. Our Sporting Doodles are hunting dogs, athletes as well as human companions that like to swim in lakes and rivers, romp through the woods and fields, roll in, smell, taste and eat dead, foul smelling stuff. Stuff left behind from deer, turkeys, cows, horses, rabbits, chickens... you get the picture.... that being said, we have an aggressive ongoing deworming program for our adult dogs here at Morgan's Point Ranch, as well as for our new puppies. We use Pyrantel Pamoate for first 6 weeks, then add Fenbendazole after 6 weeks of age. Puppies get dewormed every two weeks until 8 weeks, then we require new owners to follow up with deworming with each set of new shots the puppy gets, and more often if they are exposed to stuff, use your good discretion. Our puppies and adults all receive a coccidiocide, (similar to Baycox), as they are exposed to all kinds of birds in training and in hunting. We recommend a good flea and tick preventative, there are some good products out there such as Bravecto, which can be obtained by prescription from your vet. Any product you use in this category are not without minimal risks, especially for neuro-toxicity. However, the risk of suffering from a tick borne disease (which can cause death and neuro toxicity) needs to be considered..... If you live or are traveling to an area with heart worms, you will need to speak to your vet about a safe product to use for this as well. We expect you to have chosen a sporting/working dog friendly veterinarian prior to getting your puppy.
As a responsible new owner please make sure you have a secure fenced yard or kennel to run your dog, do not let them out unsupervised.
Please spay your female puppy by one year of age. Wait to neuter your male puppy until at least 2 years. Please respect our breeding program and do not breed unless you have permission and have paid for those breeding rights.
Breeding rights are obtained by special agreement only to certain established breeders that meet our qualifications with their breeding program. We have worked hard to build our program, we are small but we do take this seriously, please respect this.
There may be an option for you to join our breeding program with your special dog from us... ask us about those details.
If for any reason in the future you are not able to keep your Northwest Sporting Doodle, you will agree to contact us and we will assist in the rehoming process. We do not offer refunds. We understand life changes and priorities change! Thank You!
If a problem is covered by our guarantee: We, Northwest Sporting Doodles, will replace the puppy with another pup from a similar breeding of our choosing, when available. Travel costs or shipping to return your current dog to us are not covered.
- If you notice your dog becoming overweight it is your responsibility to cut the food a little and increase activity... just like children they rely on you to structure their lives, plenty of love (food is not always love)... time spent with them is the greatest gift of love you can give them,
- A regular feeding/potty schedule and time by themselves in a safe environment is important as well, crate training. We use praise when our dogs go potty, “Good boy, Good girl” and pet / praise them.
- Set boundaries early on.
- Discourage them from nipping, jumping and tearing things up right from the get go. Just like a child, if you wait too late to discipline you WILL have a troubled dog on your hands.
- Limit the "treats", a few pieces of their own food is a great reward.
- Please avoid rawhide treats/bully sticks (pieces of raw hide can be swallowed and possibly cause a bowel blockage), and brittle cooked bones where small ends/pieces can break off and be swallowed. Be vigilant with soft toys (as they can tear them apart and swallow stuffing causing a blockage). We recommend Nylabone for strong chewers, or hard Kong toys (under supervision), Jolly ball hard plastic with holes and a ball in the middle is a great toy.
- Please take great care in puppy proofing… very similar to baby proofing your house. Check your floors constantly for dropped medications and small things that a puppy might get ahold of and swallow. Keep electrical cords out of range. Keep sugar free products with xylitol out of reach. Be careful with socks and shoes… a puppy can easily swallow a sock… and other small items.
- We try to not let our dogs jump down from the truck bed or from high places, this is hard on their developing joints... you will want to help ease them down... or if your dog is elderly, you will want to help them down as well to preserve the mobility.
- Also normal puppy play is fine and short 10 -20 minute walks, but no running with them until cleared by vet and they are developmentally able to handle it, (think of making a small child run distances for fitness before they are developed enough in the muscles and bones, you wouldn’t normally do it.) Typically after one year of age.
By signing this contract, both parties agree to the above terms and conditions.
