VISITORS
The health of our dogs and puppies is important to us so we take every precaution to protect them.
Unfortunately young puppies don’t have fully developed immune systems and are susceptible to life threatening illnesses, including Parvo.
When diseases like Parvo strike, they can kill a whole litter in a matter of hours. Disease germs can be carried on people’s clothing and shoes and even your car tires.
For this reason, we ask that you “visit” us online rather than in person, so that you may safely see our dogs and watch our puppies grow. We photograph our puppies regularly, and post the photos on the puppy page. We also send weekly photos to the people on our reserve list with little updates on how puppies are doing. Sometimes we share a sweet story or two about them.
When you come to pick up your puppy we ask that you do not visit other litters on the same day, or go places where there may have been dogs who you don’t know. We also ask that you remove your shoes before entering our home and wear clean older clothing.
Thank you for helping us protect the health of our puppies!
We were headed out of town for the weekend and in a hurry to get away. Low and behold we got behind a school bus bringing children home from school. Of course, it was stop and go, stop and go, and we were about to pull our hair out! Then I saw something that made me happy we had gotten behind that bus! I glanced over to the right and saw a beautiful silver Standard Poodle standing at the curb. I first I thought, "Oh no! Someone lost their poodle!" then I saw the bus pull to a stop right in front of her. I watched the poodle stand there, ears perked up, tail up, and watching the door to the bus. The door opened and children piled out. Then she saw them, her kids! Her tail wagged a mile a minuet and she bounced in the air as only a poodle or doodle can do! Then she turned and headed for her house, watching over her shoulder to make sure "her kids" were following her. It brought tears to my eyes and I thought.......if only more people could see this, they would think poodles are awsome! There you have it.......the secret ingredient! Everyone knows that retrievers are great family dogs and I hope that they soon will know that poodles are too! No wonder Doodles are the best dogs in the world!! LOL!!
