It is up to YOU!

This is something everyone (customers AND veterinarians) should see: The x-ray shown below is of a 2 week old puppy.

When you get your 8/10-week-old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movements because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons and ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When YOU run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period YOU don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in. But when YOU let puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, when YOU take them for long walks and hikes, YOU are damaging that forming joint. When YOU let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction YOU are damaging the joint.

YOU only get the chance to grow them once. A well-built body is something that comes from vetted, health-tested parents in an excellent breeding program AND a great (i.e. planned and monitored) upbringing - BOTH, not just one.

Once grown (around 18 months depending on their breed) you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

It is up to YOU.

UPDATE: This little baby found his forever home today, and we just couldn’t be any happier with the lovely family he is joining!!❤️🐾

Here he is… the last man standing from Red Dog and Parti’s litter…. this little guy is an F1BB generation mini goldendoodle and is expected to mature in the 35 pound range. He comes from health and genetically tested lines. He has a wonderful personality, and is already dog door trained… which will make kennel training a breeze.
