Our Bespoke breeding dogs are in exceptional health and are regularly examined by our Vet, and our Specialist Reproductive Vets at QVS. We strive to produce puppies that are the epitome of excellence, in both health and temperament.
It is our ultimate priority to ensure our Bespoke Spoodle puppies are healthy, happy and clear of any genetic problems.
Of course, just like all responsible owners, our pups and dogs follow a fiercely healthy diet, together with a strict worming, flea, tick and heart worm protection regime ~ we are fastidious
in all that we do.
We do not breed first generation Spoodles [F1]. All of our Bespoke Spoodles are either F1B, F2, F2B or multi-generational. Why ? Because we want to ensure that we breed a dog that is less likely to cause an allergic reaction … we specialise in HYPOALLERGENIC spoodles. This term does not mean the dog is totally allergy safe, but it will definitely cause much less of a reaction, if at all, in dog allergy, and asthma sufferers.
It’s wonderful to note that several of our pups have gone to live with members of families who suffer acutely from asthma and allergies; however we are happy to confirm that they have experienced no issues whatsoever.
Hypoallergenic, meaning “below average” or “slightly” allergenic, is a term meaning that something (usually pets, cosmetics, textiles, food, etc.) causes fewer allergic reactions. The term was first used in 1953.
COMPREHENSIVE ORIVET AND EMBARK DNA TESTING.
Whist DNA disease testing of dogs has been available for quite some time now, it was often restricted to a few diseases, and for only a handful of breeds. Through exceptional scientific breakthroughs over the past few years, Orivet has opened up the availability of more and more tests to cover even more diseases specifically pertaining to Spoodles.
Our Bespoke Spoodles’ genetic tests include, but are not limited to:
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Patellar Luxation, hip and elbow scoring, Autosomal Hereditary Recessive Nephropathy Chondrodystrophy (CDDY) and Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). Degenerative Myelopathy Congenital [object Object] (CM) Phosphofructokinase Deficiency (Spaniel Type) Cone-Rod Dystrophy I – PRA (cord I) Progressive Rod Cone Degeneration (prcd) – PRA von Willebrand’s Disease Type I Neonatal Encephalopathy (Poodle Type) rcd4-PRA (Late Onset) [object Object] VI (Poodle Type) Elliptocytosis B-spectrin (Labrador Retriever/Poodle Type) Exercise Induced Collapse (Retriever Type).
If Bespoke pups take after their parents, then their temperaments will be beautifully friendly, wonderfully inquisitive, social and eager to learn. Their personalities being outgoing, intelligent, and ‘lovingly’ effervescent and sparkly ! These divine ‘hybrid’ family-friendly pups are purpose bred, predominantly for their supreme health and temperaments – from our Vet.
Our new born pups are blessed to spend the first few weeks of their life in a purpose-built state of the art whelping pen, in our spacious family room.
From 3 days old, our pups are exposed to early neurological stimulation [ENS], desensitisation and early scent introduction [ESI]. This in turn assists with the pup’s adrenal system, promotes a healthier and stronger heart and aids in providing the pup with the fortitude and resilience to face all experiences that will come their way, along their journey of life, whilst blending into your family seamlessly.
When their little legs start walking, we add on their fabulous play pen, and bring in lots of wonderful toys and apparatuses, one at a time, day after day, for supreme puppy enrichment, learning and most of all … fun ! After approximately 30 days, the pups have a terrific daily routine of outside play, where they can be ‘adventurous pups’ and learn what pup-life is all about, as they explore the sights, sounds, textures and smells of outdoor life. ENS and ESI continues.
Spoodles are synonymous with intelligence, cheekiness, affection for both young and old, and they love learning new things. The saying … “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, simply doesn’t apply here, however they do love attention and affection. When considering if a Spoodle is right for your home, please think about how much personal time you truly have in your day, as our Bespoke Spoodles do appreciate, and love, company.
Part of the Bespoke Philosophy of raising puppies, is to ensure that a confident loving pup leaves our home and joins yours, knowing your smells, your face your voice and your touch. We are firmly of the belief that the bonding process between a family and their new puppy is vitally important, and that regular face-to-face visits at our home, is an exceptional way to forge such a beautiful relationship and bond.
We hope if you are blessed to be selected to own a Bespoke Spoodle pup, you will be able to commit to weekly visits at our home.
Day 1 to 3 ~ Welcome To Our World 🖤We do our best not to fuss too much with Mumma and her pups as they bond and learn about one another. Our darling spoodle neonates are born deaf, blind and without teeth. They are 100% dependant upon their Mumma and siblings for nourishment, warmth and love. We ensure the ambient air is kept around 26° to 28° as they are not able to regulate their own body temperature until approx 3 weeks of age. This is a beautifully quiet time, as the pups sleep 90% of the day. Surprisingly, even though the pups can’t support their own weight yet, they are quite mobile, and can squirm and wiggle their way from one side of the pen to the other – they have expert smell, and can locate their Mumma with ease.
Day 3 to 16 ~ Our little new-borns receive their first Vet check. Each day we cuddle and hold them, and even though they can’t hear or see, we speak to them in a ‘breathy’ soft voice. This is how they quickly learn our smells. Whilst embarking on our daily BadAss Breeder Curriculum, the pups are all weighed and they receive a gentle look over. It is hoped that by day 10, each pup has doubled their birth weight. We attend to nail trimming every 5 days or so, or when required. Our ENS and ESI lessons occur every day during this time. As mentioned, the lessons assist with the pups’ adrenal and immune systems, promotes a healthier and stronger heart and aids in providing the pup with the fortitude and resilience to face all experiences that will come their way, along their journey of life, whilst blending into your family seamlessly. It is important to note that in an effort to ensure our pups sleep well, digest their mother’s milk with ease, and continue to be relaxed and thrive, our home is kept very warm during the first 3 weeks; around 26° to 28°.
Day 14 to 16 ~ Our pups’ eyes usually open, and those lovely little personalities begin to shine through. As the pups’ eyes adjust, it’s important to keep the ambient lighting nice and low. Our pups are wormed every 2 weeks – we like to use Drontal All-Wormer suspension liquid. Our daily BadAss Breeder Curriculum lessons continue, and we enlighten our pups to ‘puppy massage’, ensuring that every pup gets familiar with being touched all over; of course this will assist when it comes time to visit the groomers and your Vet. At the end of this period, we like to safely show the puppies around our home, taking in the different smells, sounds and sights.
Day 17 to 21 ~ At around 21 days, the pups begin to find their feet. This is an exciting and enriching time for our pups, as we introduce a new enrichment item into the whelping pen each day. This could be a wonderfully safe and colourful musical toy, or perhaps a pumpkin, box, clothes basket, watermelon, box or even a watering can. Doing this has shown massive benefits in assisting the pups’ brain neuroplasticity. We also like to add the ‘play-pen’ extension on to the whelping pen, and love watching our 3-week-olds exploring what’s new and all that new space – we introduce the pups to the artificial grass toileting system also. Around day 21, we often see Mumma enjoying a little more time away from her brood, and can start spending a little bit of time back up on the couch, cuddling with us in bed, or simply sitting in the warm sun in her favourite place outside. Again, our daily BadAss Breeder Curriculum continues with ‘puppy massage’.
Day 22 to 28 ~ WOW ! What a week this is ! Each day a new and wondrous enrichment item is added to the whelping pen, together with fun small play items. The ‘sound of music’, together with sounds such as fireworks, sirens, vacuum cleaner, drums, tv shows of all sorts, thunder storms and hairdryers, just to name a few, are played daily. We use an App called “Brave Puppy” to assist with this – you can even make an album with your favourite sounds ! It also “messy time” ! Yes, the pups get to taste soft mushy food for the first time ! And as usual, our daily BadAss Breeder Curriculum continues with ‘puppy massage’.
Day 29 to 35 ~ Look at them go ! Our pups have full reign over their play pen with incredibly stimulating and enriching toys. We start our outside play in our safe and secure courtyard, and introduce the pups to interactive tactile activities such as balance boards, tactile steps, tunnels, water play, and of course, the ball pit ! It’s a truly wonderful time watching on, as they use their cognitive abilities to problem-solve. It’s now when the pups learn to respond to simple commands, and are rewarded with pats, praise and perhaps a teeny bit of poached chicken. And you guessed it … as usual, our daily BadAss Breeder Curriculum continues with ‘puppy massage’.
Day 36 to 49 ~ They’re getting so BIG ! Now it’s all about stimulation, thinking and learning, oh, and toilet training. It’s during this time that our Puppy Trainer pops over to meet all the pups, and hopefully our new owners also, at one of our famous Puppy Play-Dates in our BIG backyard. The pups are slowly transitioning to less-wet kibble meals. We teach the pups about car rise, and how fun they can be. Our evaluations begin, and those bright little personalities are on show for all to see. We have our second Vet visit where each pup receives a thorough health check, is vaccinated and microchipped. And let’s not forget … as usual, our daily BadAss Breeder Curriculum continues with ‘puppy massage’.
Day 50 to 56 ~ It’s almost “Gotcha Day” ! Our darling fluffy toddlers are working hard on crate and toilet training, and wearing their harnesses during their daily outside play time. They have transitioned to a harder kibble and are eating very well by this time. And of course, we complete the last of our daily ‘puppy massage’.

We hope this enables you to glean a little more about our brilliant BadAss Breeder puppy program, of which we are very proud. Yes it is bespoke, unique, quite different and perhaps, even a little unusual; but we sincerely hope you believe that we not only “talk the talk”, but genuinely do … “walk the walk”. in an effort to produce the most AH-MAY-ZING pups !

Someone is always home supervising the dogs and pups, and thankfully we have wonderful security. Our new born pups are blessed to spend the first few weeks of their life in a purpose-built state of the art whelping pen, in our spacious family room where they get to listen to real life sounds, smells, sights and experiences.

We also invite our new Bespoke Families to join our private Facebook Group. Here we share daily pics, videos and posts of their ever-growing and ever-changing pups.
Then, once the pups have joined their new families, we all absolutely love to watch the new updates come through, as we all enjoy watching our pups develop and grow.
Vaccinated – Your Bespoke Spoodle🐾 puppy will receive its first C3 vaccination at 6-7 weeks of age. The next C5 vaccination is required at 10-11 weeks of age. Then the final vaccination is at 14-15 weeks. It is very important that you do not take your puppy into public places until the 14-15 week booster shot has been administered, plus an additional 2 weeks. Your puppy is at risk of deadly diseases and not fully covered until the booster shot is given. It is under strict advice that you keep your puppy in your backyard and away from other dogs that you don’t know their vaccination history during this period.
Microchipped – We register your puppy’s microchip details on Australasian Animal Records (AAR), online microchip database which identifies your puppy on the microchip database. You may need to access the AAR’s website and transfer the microchip into your name, however, this may have already been done by us, on your behalf, therefore costing you nothing.
Wormed – Your Bespoke Spoodle🐾 puppy will come wormed with Drontal All-Wormer at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks of age. Worming your puppy is essential to the wellbeing of your dog and can result in a longer life expectancy.
NB. Worming is due every 2 weeks until 12 weeks old [we recommend Milpro or Milbemax for puppies]. Then every month until 6 months old. After this, pup can go onto an adult worming schedule of your choice. This is something to chat with your Vet about.
Comprehensive Vet Check-up – Your puppy comes to you ‘only’ after a full and comprehensive Vet check. Our wonderful and highly experienced Vet, examines your puppy’s structure, bones, eyes, heart, teeth, ears and skin, and pretty much everywhere else too.
