This would have to be the most asked question. No, we are a licensed breeder. A ‘Registered Breeder’ is a breeder who is a member of a breed association or club whose main focus is pure breeds, blood/genetic lines and showing.
We have a Domestic Animal Business (DAB) where we are licensed to breed dogs. Our DAB is registered with Melton Shire Council where we must abide by Animal Welfare Victoria’s strict breeding regulations based on the Code of Practice for the Operation of Breeding and Rearing. We abide by all laws, programs, and standards to ensure the wellbeing of our dogs are of the highest standard. Being a licensed breeder gives reassurance that we adhere to all the high standards to raise healthy and well tempered pups for you and your family. We are also audited frequently to ensure compliance.
We are registered with Animal Welfare Victoria’s Pet Registry. And we are also members with Responsible Pet Breeders Australia (RPBA).
All our PARENTS are genetically tested for hereditary genetic diseases through Orivet Genetic Pet Care company. All our pups are DNA clear through parentage.
You are welcome to view a copy of parents DNA documents, however copies will not be supplied due to personal information on the reports and the high incidences of scamming.
Yes, we offer, as per Animal Welfare Victoria regulations, a 3-Year Health Guarantee. All our pups will be farewelled with a clean bill of health.
As licensed breeders, we pride ourselves in adhering to Animal Welfare Victoria’s strict regulations based on the Code of Practice for the Operation of Breeding and Rearing, to breed and raise happy, healthy pups. All our parents are DNA Tested as well as vet checked pre-breeding and post-partum to insure all our parents are in the best health condition to be breeding. It is with this confidence; we adhere to 3-year health guarantees.
You can most definitely come and meet pups and their parents. Occasionally, Sires may be off site for studding purposes, but we will do our very best for you to be able to meet both parents. We encourage where possible for purchasers to come and meet pups. If for any reason you are not able to come out for a visit, we are happy to accommodate with a FaceTime, video and/or photos. This option is commonly used for interstate purchasers who can’t meet pups in person.
All our pups are first generation (F1) of their breed. As all parents are purebred, so all offspring are first generation.
First generation Cavoodle: Dam pure bred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Sire pure bred Toy Poodle
First generation Moodle: Dam pure bred Maltese and Sire pure bred Toy Poodle
First generation Schnoodle: Dam pure bred Miniature Schnauzer and Sire pure bred Toy Poodle
First Generation Spoodle: Dam pure bred Cocker Spaniel and Sire pure bred Toy Poodle.
Our Daughters Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s are PURE BRED – both parents being Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s
It is in our opinion that pups before four months old are too immature to desex. Traditionally it was recommended to be done between five and six months, however in more recent years and based on scientific evidence, the RSPCA and many veterinarians are recommending that dogs be desexed before they reach puberty, which for some dogs is as early as four months. This is best discussed with your chosen vet.
Unfortunately, pup’s bladder and bowels are not mature enough at 8 weeks to retain their waste. The ideal time to start training is 12-16 weeks. You can certainly start training at 8 weeks by designating one spot as the ‘puppy toilet’ with puppy pads, newspaper or a fake grass pad. And treating/praising pup if they do their business in the allocated area. Taking pup outside regularly is also vital in successful toilet training.
May it be days, weeks, months or even years, I am contactable through phone, email and text with any concerns or questions you may have post pup pick up. Photo updates are always welcome too!
Our Cavoodles, Spoodles and Moodles have TOY Poodle fathers. Our Schnoodles have a Miniature mother and a Toy Poodle father. However, there is no guarantee implied in the sale of our puppies regarding size or weight. Puppies can sometimes grow smaller or larger than their parents, as own children do.
Their coats can sometimes change colour as their adult coats come through and sometimes after clipping.
Yes we do. We can arrange this for you and the transport expense is added to the purchase price of the pup. We use both road and air transportation. Flights to main Australian airports start from $450^. This includes an additional vet check to ensure pups are fit to fly and an Airline Approved travel crate for you to keep.
For interstate families we will happily face time you to meet and select your puppy virtually.
Please feel free to email us at info@lovemyoodle.com.au to enquire about upcoming litters.
If your pup cannot be collected within 7 days of them being 8 weeks old, we do offer to hold pup and charge a boarding fee of $25 per day from 9 weeks old, and $150 per additional vaccination if required. We don’t encourage this as puppies go through very important developmental and socialisation stages between 8-12 weeks, and that period is best spent bonding with and adapting to their permanent family and home environment. However, if an extra couple of weeks is needed, we can definitely discuss the options. Please note: You will be made aware of when pick up date will be before committing to pup.
We accept direct deposits, PayPal*, Credit Card* and cash payments.
* Please note: PayPal and Credit cards will incur at 2.6% surcharge.
With every puppy that is purchased, you will receive a puppy pack that includes:
A bag ADVANCE dry kibble, Sample Lyka Human Grade wet food, 1 monthly NexGard all-in-one worm, flea, tick and mites inc heart worm chew, blanket, toy, Chew Toy, collar, training treats and sample bottles of Shampoo and Conditioner. We also give complimentary 4 weeks insurance with Knose Pet Insurance.
Once our puppies are old enough, families are invited to meet them in person. If you’re interstate, we organise a FaceTime call so you can “meet” the puppies virtually.
After you’ve chosen your puppy and confirmed your decision, we require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit to secure them. You will also review and sign our 3-Year Health Guarantee agreement at this time.
If you select your puppy prior to pick-up day, we’ll send you photo updates every two weeks so you can watch your little one grow.
The remaining balance is due 2 days before pick-up or prior to your puppy’s flight.
Leading up to collection day, we’ll provide you with plenty of guidance and information to help you prepare for your new family member so you feel confident, ready, and excited.
