How are the puppies raised? Puppies are raised in our family home in our living area with outside access to dogs, cats, chickens, and children ensuring they are well socialized. They undergo early neurological stimulation, early scent introduction, and follow the Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder breeding programs and protocols. Puppies are exposed to a number of experiences to ensure desensitization and proper socialization: - Swimming - Grooming including bath and blow dry - Riding in vehicles - Visiting businesses - Meeting unfamiliar people and being handled by children - One-on-one time - Meeting different animals such other dogs, cats, and chickens - Exposed to loud noises such as thunderstorms, the vacuum, and traffic - Pen training - Potty training
What health testing has been done on puppies and parents? Parents have undergone extensive genetic and health testing prior to breeding, including Paw Print Genetics and Embark testing for all testable breed related illnesses. This includes testing for hips, elbows, eyes, and hearts. We test all puppies for any breed specific diseases using Canine Healthcheck, as well as temperament testing at 49 days old. All puppies have been wormed and had their age appropriate immunizations prior to going home. We offer a 2 year genetic health guarantee. What is the puppy pick process? Puppies are available for picking after the Volhard temperament testing has completed at 49 days. At this point, we will contact you in the order of deposit and application submission to pick your puppy. You may pick your puppy in person. If this is not possible, you may pick your puppy on video call. Seventh Heaven Labradoodles reserves the right to first pick if desired.
