Groodle – Donvale

We are delighted to introduce a very special litter of Mini Groodle puppies. These puppies have been thoughtfully raised inside our home, surrounded by daily family life, giving them the very best start as confident, affectionate companions and socialising opportunities with human and cats 🐈! Mum is our beautiful F1 Groodle, and the father is a carefully selected purebred Toy Poodle. This pairing produces puppies with the wonderful qualities Groodles are loved for — gentle, intuitive temperaments, intelligence, and low-shedding coats — in a smaller, more practical size. We expect these puppies to mature between 7–11kg, making them ideal for both houses and smaller living environments. This litter includes three unique puppies, each with their own look and personality: • Soft cream🍦 • Warm caramel 🧡 • Deep charcoal black with a touch of white on the chin and chest 🖤 --------------------------------------------- From birth, these puppies have been part of our everyday life, not raised in kennels. They are familiar with household sounds, children, and a variety of indoor and outdoor environments. We focus heavily on early development, including gentle handling, sensory exposure, and enrichment to help them grow into calm, well-adjusted dogs. Toilet training and crate training foundations have already begun. Each puppy will leave having received: • First vaccination • Microchip • Regular worming • Full veterinary examination and health record • 2 months of health insurance • Copies of parents’ genetic testing Both parents have undergone comprehensive DNA screening to ensure they are clear of known hereditary conditions relevant to the breed. What Comes With Your Puppy 📦 To help make the transition smooth, puppies will go home with a carefully prepared starter pack including: • Food samples • Toy • Treats • Health documentation • Doggy poop bags • Wipes • Information to guide you through the early weeks Temperament & Suitability 🦮 Mini Groodles are known for their affectionate, people-focused personalities. Puppies from Betsy’s previous litters have grown into beautiful family dogs — gentle with children, eager to please, and easy to live with. Enquiries: Families are welcome to get in touch to learn more. A deposit secures your place, with ongoing updates provided as your puppy grows. We are committed to finding loving, suitable homes where these puppies will be valued as family members.

Poodle Standard – Krystal Roberts

We have five beautiful moyen poodle puppies looking for exceptional homes. They are being lovingly raised inside our family home on the Sunshine Coast where they receive constant handling, socialisation and exposure to everyday household life. Our puppies have been around children and people since day one, helping them grow into confident, affectionate and well-balanced companions. They are curious, playful and already developing their own unique personalities. Litter Details • 5 puppies total – 4 boys and 1 girl • Colours include dark red, medium red and light red/apricot tones • Raised inside our home from birth with daily handling and interaction Individual Personalities Yellow Boy The smallest and lightest in the litter but quickly coming out of his shell. He has a big personality, is curious and not easily frightened. He loves playing and wrestling with his siblings and is always keen to explore. Red Boy The biggest of the litter and absolutely food motivated. He is the sookiest of the bunch and loves affection. You’ll often find him trying to play with dad or the other puppies as if he’s already fully grown. Always first to investigate food time. Blue Boy A quieter, gentle personality. He enjoys playing with dad but is just as happy finding a quiet corner to snuggle into rather than jumping around with the others. He has discovered every possible way to sneak under the lounge for naps. Dark Boy The calmest of the boys and quite independent. He enjoys observing before joining in and is very relaxed in nature. The Girl Our only girl likes to sit back and watch the boys play fight before stepping in when she feels like keeping them in line. She’s inquisitive and confident but generally a little more reserved. She also enjoys sneaking under the lounge for a quiet nap. Health & Care Before leaving for their new homes, each puppy will receive: • Veterinary health check • First vaccination • Microchip • Regular worming • Puppy starter pack They will also begin early crate introduction and puppy pad training before going to their forever homes. Our Commitment We care deeply about where our puppies go and are committed to lifelong support for their families. • Post home-day check-in to make sure puppy and family are settling in well • Ongoing support and advice throughout your dog’s life • If circumstances ever change and a puppy needs to be rehomed, we ask that they be returned to us so we can ensure they are placed in a safe and loving home Pricing • Male puppies: $3,500 • Female puppy: $4,000 Before accepting deposits we like to learn a little about potential families, their lifestyle and experience with dogs to ensure the best match for each puppy. If you believe you could provide a loving, committed home for one of these beautiful puppies, we would love to hear from you.

Bordoodle – Lexi Webb

Bay Bordoodles and Labradoodles are proud to announce the arrival of 6 beautiful gemstones from our Ruby and Banjo litter. Ruby is a beautifully natured moyen (medium) intense red Poodle. She is quiet, obedient, and DNA tested clear. She comes from MDBA pedigree parents from Shangri-La Poodles. Banjo is a striking Tri Merle Border Collie. He has a goofball personality and is lots of fun to be around, and has a great off switch and is also very obedient. Banjo is also DNA tested. Both dogs and their puppies are raised with love on our 25 acre property surrounded by chooks, parrots, cats and other farm animals. As a dog groomer your puppy will go home already a pro on the grooming table. We start early neurological stimulation at 3 days old and are constantly exposing the puppies to every day stimulus so you can be assured you will take home a confident puppy. The puppies are not even a week old yet so we can not gauge their personalities, but we can assume based on this carefully selected pairing that these puppies will have the same calm, gentle and obedient nature as their parents. We have 4 puppies available including 1 stunning sable tri Merle which is a very first for our breeding program and he is sure to be a heartthrob, we also have 1 beautiful intense red and white boy and 2 of the classic black and white colours.

Common Questions To Ask Your Dog Breeder

Once you've figured out what type of dog breed you'd like to get, it's time to find yourself a responsible breeder. That way, you can bring home a puppy that is healthy, has a good temperament, and is properly socialised.

If you don't know where to begin looking for an ethical breeder, consider asking a licensed veterinarian. You can also look for a recommendation from someone who has adopted a happy and healthy dog, or check out reviews.

Bear in mind that even when you have found yourself a breeder, they may not be the right one for you. To find out if you are doing business with a trustworthy seller, you need to ask them a lot of questions. Here are six important ones to ask:

A responsible breeder should be able to show you at least one of your desired dog’s parents. Often, you won’t get to meet the father, as most sellers do not own it. What’s important is that you get to meet the mother so that you can assess her temperament and general health.

Although most potential buyers overlook this step, it is a crucial part of the dog-selection process. Meeting the parents and interacting with them will give you a better idea as to what your canine will look like and how it will behave when it becomes an adult.

If the litter is around, do not hesitate to ask your seller to meet it as well. Get to know each puppy by playing with it and holding it. If it shows fear, aggression, or other behavioural issues, take it as a sign to walk away and find another breeder.

Most dogs are socialised as early as six weeks of age to prepare them to live in a new home. When they are not properly socialised by the time they reach the age of adoption, which is between eight and 12 weeks old, chances are, they will become difficult to handle.

It is, therefore, important that you ask your breeder if they socialise their canines before selling them. Find out if your desired dog has already been exposed to different people, animals, sights, scents, and sounds. This way, it won’t have difficulty adjusting to a new living environment.

Some canines, whether purebred or crossbreed, are predisposed to genetic defects. This is why you should ask your breeder if the parents of the dog you wish to adopt have been tested for all health issues common to their breed.

Additionally, find out from your seller if they provide the parent dogs with any preventative care such as annual vet examinations, vaccinations and boosters, and routine prevention for fleas and ticks.

Finally, question your breeder if any of the parent dogs have experienced a health issue in the previous weeks. If the answer is yes, ask what the vet’s evaluation was and how the problem was treated. This way, you know what preventative measures to take for your canine.

Once you have taken your new dog home, do not introduce it to an entirely different diet right away. This can take a toll on its health. It is recommended that you continue feeding it what it has been used to eating for at least a couple more days.

When introducing new foods to your canine, do it slowly. You can start by mixing a few of the new kibbles with the old ones.

Before you adopt a dog for sale, you will want to confirm that it has been taken to a vet for screening and vaccination. A good breeder should be aware of how far their dog has come on its shots and be able to tell you when the next schedule is.

Ideally, all dogs should have received their first series of vaccinations between six and nine weeks of age. The second series should have been administered at 10 to 12 weeks old. If your breeder has failed to have their canine vaccinated, make it your responsibility.

Although not mandatory, a health guarantee is customary in dog breeding and buying. Do not worry if your seller does not offer one, as this doesn’t mean they are untrustworthy or that their canine is not well-bred.

What you can do is ask your breeder the following questions:

  • Can I give the dog back if I can no longer care for it due to health reasons, old age, or any other unfortunate circumstance? If not, can you help me find another suitable home for it?
  • Can I return the dog if it is found to have a severe illness a few weeks after I bring it home?
  • If I cannot return the dog even if it is found to be sick, will you fully refund me?
  • If you do not offer a refund, what will you do to compensate for the inconvenience?
