At CuddlyDoodles, our passion is to provide your family with a healthy, well-behaved, and socialized Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, or Aussiedoodle puppy perfectly suited to your lifestyle. Raised with love in our home (not a kennel!) in the heart of our family, our puppies are intentionally nurtured to be friendly, calm, smart, sweet, and beautiful – wonderful additions to any home.

We pride ourselves on breeding and raising happy, well-adjusted dogs with temperaments you can trust. Your puppy's lifelong health and well-being are our top priorities, and we guarantee you'll receive a healthy companion. When you welcome a CuddlyDood into your life, you become part of our extended family, and we love receiving updates!

**Our Nurturing Program:**

We invest significant quality time with each puppy to ensure they are well-rounded and prepared for various environments. From 3 to 16 days old, we utilize the Puppy Culture program and Early Neurological Stimulation (unless contraindicated by birth challenges). Our puppies receive the best possible start with a homemade formula featuring raw goat's milk, goat yogurt, and duck eggs – a holistic approach we believe contributes to their excellent health and potential for healthy growth.

**Preparing Your Puppy for Success:**

 Vehicle Acclimation

We gently introduce puppies to car rides, starting on laps and progressing to secure travel in the backseat and eventually in a car seat or crate for their safety and comfort. We even use high-value treats to create positive associations with car travel.  

**Socialization with Dogs:**

Each puppy interacts regularly with our adult dogs and those of trusted family and friends, fostering positive canine social skills and preventing fear-based aggression.

 **Interaction with Children:** Frequent playtime with children helps our puppies develop gentle and patient temperaments around little ones.

**Early Leash Introduction:** Once old enough, we introduce leash walking (even if they don't follow perfectly yet!), using positive reinforcement to create positive associations.

 **Beginning Manners & Potty Training:** We lay the groundwork for good puppy manners and start the initial stages of potty training to make the transition to your home smoother.

**Crate Acclimation:** Starting between 5.5 and 6 weeks old, we introduce crate training. This helps your puppy view their crate as a safe and happy den, benefiting future grooming, vet visits, and providing a secure space during times of stress or change.

Everything we do during their crucial first weeks is designed to make the transition to your loving home easier and more enjoyable, allowing you to focus on cuddling and bonding with your well-prepared new family member!
