FAQ

Q:
I see you have several different dog breeds - are you a puppy farm?! We are a small home-based breeder, with strong ethical standards and a lot of love for our dogs. Our dogs are well cared for and have great lives, and we are more than happy to chat with anyone who has questions about how they live and how we care for them. We have different breeds because we love these dogs and believe

they are among if not the most ideal breeds of dogs for families like our own. We have Labrador and Golden Retriever girls who have medium sized Labradoodle and Groodle puppies with our Moyen poodle Hughbert, and we have mini Cavoodle and poodle girls who have small sized Cavoodle puppies with our Toy Cavoodle and Poodle boys. Having more than one breed does not mean someone isn't caring appropriately for their dogs. Q:
Are you registered with Dogs SA or another breeding 'authority'? A:
We are registered with DACO, according to legal requirements. But we are not registered with Dogs SA and have no plans to do so. Dogs SA, like many formal associations, places a lot of emphasis on 'purebred' dogs. We reject the idea that a crossbreed dog is necessarily any lesser than a 'purebred' one. Dogs may have many different jobs in life, but we are breeding dogs whose job is to be the ideal little buddy for their new family, healthy, happy and kind. And after considerable research and personal experience, we believe the crossbreeds we have chosen are perfect! Q:
Aren't there already too many dogs in the world? Why would you breed more puppies when there are dogs waiting to be adopted in shelters? A:
No, there are not too many dogs in the world! Sadly, dog rescues which do great work saving dogs from abuse or abandonment, have often been pitted against good, ethical dog breeders, even though we should both be on the same team. The dogs in shelters do not come from ethical, careful breeders. A good breeder should guarantee to take back or help rehome any puppy they sell, if the new family for some reason becomes unable to care for him or her. But even if a breeder does not guarantee this, it is very rare for any small breed of dog to be in a shelter for any amount of time. This is because there are waitlists of people wanting to adopt a small dog from a shelter! The dogs struggling to find new homes in shelters are almost all large, often intimidating breeds of dogs. These beautiful animals can be the most wonderful friends for their new people - but busy families, or families with young children, rarely have the time or skills to devote to the strong possibility the dog will require ongoing rehabilitation. These families often have children with previous trauma from negative dog interactions, and they will NEVER adopt an adult dog with an unknown past from a shelter. So amongst others, three big reasons stand out for why Little Buddy Puppies and similar breeders are important:

1. Without ethical dog breeders, unethical dog breeders DO spring up to supply the market with puppies. These improperly or irresponsibly bred and raised dogs will continue to pour into shelters because their breeders take no responsibility for selling a big, high-needs dog to an unsuitable family, or raising anxious or aggressive dogs due to bad breeding and/or lack of proper early socialising, etc., and
2. Without ethical dog breeders, families with young children will be deprived of any chance to have a dog. These families do not have the resources to rescue a Rottweiler or Staffy from a shelter - and we believe they ought to have the opportunity to adopt a suitable, safe, friendly puppy they can raise as their own. We are breeding dogs that people can actually care for. Our dogs are DNA tested to ensure a low likelihood of disease or illness; they are small to medium size, making them affordable to feed and keep; and they are of breeds naturally docile, friendly, and easy to train. These are three of the major reasons why pets are abandoned - the new family can't afford to keep them or pay the vet bills, or the dog is too rambunctious and they don't have the time, energy or level of understanding necessary for the dog's wellbeing. So, if you care about dogs and dog wellbeing, please promote ethical dog breeding and educate those around you on how to choose an ethical breeder, to reduce the incentive for actual puppy farms and unethical breeders to meet market needs!

Welcome Handsome Harry!! 😍

Harry is a purebred, pedigree Miniature Poodle, joining our family as a stud primarily for our Groodle program. He fits neatly between Hubert (14kg) and Kipling (7.5kg) at 11kg (on the larger side for a Mini). I already love him - a lovely, sweet nature and so much affection as soon as he stepped off the plane from Canberra πŸΆπŸ€—

Don't you love the family photos his breeder supplied?? πŸ₯° As our program develops, I look forward to being able to supply parent and grandparent photos for all our puppies ☺️

😍πŸ₯³πŸΆGuardianship Opportunities! 🐢πŸ₯³πŸ˜

Would you love to adopt a gorgeous, healthy pup or adult dog - at a greatly reduced cost! 🀝 - and support them being part of our ethical breeding program? πŸ₯Ή

We now have opportunities for Guardian Families in the Jamestown and Mid-North areas (including Port Pirie, Clare, Peterborough etc). This is a safe, contracted ✍️ relationship, providing you with custody of a top-quality furry friend, who will transfer to your sole ownership upon retirement. Girls come back to Little Buddy Puppies at various times to have puppies, and boys need to be available for date days when requested. We also provide a monetary Award after each litter or date day, as a thank you πŸ™ for taking good care of our little buddies.

We have bigger and smaller dogs, boys and girls, now looking for Guardian families - get in touch if you can provide a wonderful, safe home and would like to be considered πŸ₯°

- We may have some dogs/pups suitable for older folk wanting a companion, and can provide special arrangements in consideration of their needs ☺️ If you have an older family member looking for companionship, happy to chat about this option 😊

Guess who's a proud Mama?! 🀩 Our Melody got a FANTASTIC hip and elbow score - the best I've heard of! - at a total of just 2 points! (The lower, the better.) With her gorgeous temperament and overall cuteness, her health markers are rounding out an amazing foundation dog for our Groodle lineage. She's going to make some gorgeous babies 🐢πŸ₯°
I'd like to shout out Melody's breeders - lovely, genuine people with top quality dogs and a commitment to their welfare. James and Alicia from Family Dogs Australia breed primarily Golden Retrievers, primarily for a therapy dog organisation. If you're looking for a purebred Golden, or a non-poodle Golden mix, I highly recommend asking them if they have any pups available to the public. I'm encouraging them to get active on socials, so go ahead and follow them! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082918326954

You can also get in touch with them by email, at: family*dogs*[email protected] BUT just take out the two * marks I put there to confuse scammer data miners. They do have pups just born! πŸΎβ€οΈβ€πŸ”₯🐾

How pretty is little Korah?! 😍

Korah is a multi-generation Labradoodle, bred by childhood friends of mine, in Victoria. When I went over for a family wedding recently and met Korah's great-grandmother, I was so impressed with her gorgeous nature, I asked about any descendants. Happily, Korah became available and we have arranged for her to join our doggie family! She will be our smallest Labradoodle so far, and we're excited to watch her grow πŸ₯°

We have started including a seaweed supplement with our doggies' meals - and this study explains why πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“πŸ‘ Not only is seaweed full of nutrients and vital minerals, it has been shown to greatly improve oral health - and no one wants preventable dental work! I do recommend looking into it 😊

The objective of this placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study (designed according to evidence based medicine standards) was to determine the effect of 90-day administration of edible treats containing the brown algae, Ascophyllum nodosum, ...

* Update: Currawong has found his new family!

* Currawong is currently having training here with us while we wait for a special family to choose him for their very own πŸ₯° *

I'm so impressed with (big) little Currawong! When he was a tiny little chubber, first to do everything and full of beans, I thought he was going to be the headstrong pup of the litter. But he's already turned into such a gentle, thoughtful young man and only 12 weeks old! 🐢 We love our Oodles, and Lala and Hubert make gorgeous examples of why we do! 😍

Alfie's mum kindly sent me these photos of her big boy - gorgeous inside and out! 😍 Dear little Egret, our last cream pup available from our current litter, will look much like this big brother of hers! Raven and Crow will be black versions (all somewhat smaller than this young man!)

🐾 All Lala's puppies are full of s***k and fun 😍, but we still have a bit of a spectrum - and sweet Raven and scatter-brained Egret are at either end of that spectrum, haha! πŸ˜† These two cuties are waiting to find their new families - First Generation Groodle pups, completely health clear, short/velvet hair, and totally gorgeous πŸ₯°
Already learning to sit, walk on a lead, and socialise - they'll fit right into your family and your heart πŸ’πŸΆπŸ’
