Our Foster Programfor
Australian multigen labradoodles
Available for
Fostering: We
expect there may be one or two upcoming puppies that will need great
foster homes in the next few months. You are welcome to contact
us about our foster program.
Fostering
a dog can be an excellent way to have a top quality dog for a family pet.
We do not believe in the long term
kennelling of our dogs. Dogs raised in kennels often do not get the
socialization and stimulation that is needed to be a well balanced, happy
animal. Therefore, we like to place our upcoming babies in forever
homes with suitable families as their dog
and we retain breeding rights.
We pay for all health testing, and
when the dog is old enough, they come back to our home for breeding and
whelping. When the dog reaches the age (usually somewhere around
the age of five) where they should be retired from breeding, we spay the
dog for you and the dog enjoys the wonderful home it's had all it's life.
Males are usually retained for siring babies for longer, but do not need
to leave their families for long periods.
Fostering programs
have many benefits for the foster family, the breeder and the dog:
-
foster families have a 'pick of litter' puppy chosen by the breeder
- the dog
doesn't need to be rehomed as an adult after retiring
- there
is no need for the breeder to kennel the dogs, so the dogs are happy and healthy
- the dogs
are well socialized and in good environments
- foster
families can schedule trips during whelpings without paying
for
kennelling their pet
There are certain
requirements for providing a foster home for one of our dogs. Foster
families must:
-
own their own homes
- have a
fully fenced yard
- take their
dog to puppy obedience classes
- ensure
the puppy is well socialized
- provide
veterinary care when needed and to notify the breeder of what has transpired!
- feed a
diet approved by the breeder
- notify
breeder when a female begins her heat cycle
- must not
allow a female around intact males during her cycle
- must not
allow a male to breed other females!
- live within
reasonable driving distance
- be interviewed
by the breeder
Copper
Canyon Labradoodles does charge a $600 dollar homing fee for our
guardian dogs, and $400 is returned when the contract is finished.
We feel that people often do not value what comes without cost
and a nominal fee encourages foster families to think seriously before
bringing a dog into the home. Please understand that a foster or
guardian arrangement is meant to be a PERMANENT home for the dog; it
becomes YOUR dog and it is very hard on a dog to be rehomed after it is
used to you and has grown to love your family!

our foster program interests you, please feel free to contact us and see
what we have coming available for fostering.
