The Adorable 8 are 8 weeks old!

Today we said good bye to the Adorable 8. A bitter sweet end to a fulfilling journey.

INTERESTING FACT

Dogs use body language to express their feelings.

From their ears to their eyebrows, shoulders, and tail, dogs often use signals and smells, rather than sound, to communicate! Their posture makes a big difference too.

Week 8 Highlights

These puppies have been so much fun to watch

these past weeks. We have watched them grow, play and learn, and although it's bittersweet to see them go, it is rewarding to see how much they have developed over just 8 short weeks. We're happy to have given them what we believe is the best start in life.

So, what do our puppies leave with?

Spoodle puppy home pack including food samples, toy, blanket, documents, and Macedon Ranges Spoodles tote bag.

Each puppy leaves us with a special pack to help them settle into their new home:

Documentation, such as the transfer of your puppy's microchip, our signed breeder's guarantee, a voucher for desexing, and pet insurance.
A sample packet of the food your puppy has been enjoying.
A token of appreciation from us.
A ball suitable for your puppy's size.
A pig's ear for their chewing pleasure.
A heartbeat sheep toy that may aid in comforting your puppy.
A blanket that carries the scent of your puppy's siblings and mother.

Important things for new families to know

Familiarise yourself with our care sheets and ask us any questions.
Ease your puppy into spending time alone gradually.
Feed your puppy twice daily rather than leaving food out to graze.
Explore the benefits of crate training – it can help new owners and comfort puppies.
Enrol your puppy in Puppy School.
Start early with training to support their development.
We highly recommend Amy’s Puppy School online course What to Expect When You’re Expecting a Puppy. It includes short, engaging videos covering crate training, toilet training, nipping, socialisation, and more.
