About Our Schnoodles
|
Parent Dogs, F1 & F1b:
We raise both first generation F1 (schnauzer x poodle) and multi generation F1b (schnoodle x poodle or schnoodle x schnauzer) schnoodles. Some people refer to or think of an F1b puppy with a schnoodle and poodle parents as 75% poodle and 25% schnauzer. (or vice versa with a schnoodle & schnauzer parent) But it's not scientifically or factually accurate. While each puppy inherits the same amount of DNA from both parents, the schnoodle doesn't pass on an exact percentage of poodle or schnauzer genes. What genes are expressed depends on whether they are recessive or dominant. This is why you will get traits (coat type, temperament, size) that are "throwbacks" to grandparents, some F1b puppies that are more like an F1 schnoodle with schnauzer traits, etc. We choose to breed multigeneration schnoodle puppies to produce dogs with the most desirable traits in temperament, coat type, and health. This is the only breed we’ve been working with for almost two decades and our lines are important to us. If you choose an F1b schnoodle from us it will be no less a Schnoodle than one of our F1 pups. For either type of litter, we will gladly help you select a pup that meets your preferences for coat type and temperament |
How We Raise & Breed Our Dogs:
All of our dogs live with us in our home. They are able to socialize with each other, our cats and other visitors. Our dogs are groomed regularly, taken out to exercise 4-5 times a day, fed premium quality pet food. We feed 4health chicken and rice Formulas: Dog Food Advisor Info All dogs and pups are kept up to date on all vaccinations, de-wormed on a regular schedule, on flea/tick & heartworm preventative and given any needed health care. If you want healthy puppies you must start with healthy parent dogs. bitches & studs hips, patella's and eyes are evaluated and genetic testing done for PRA. Our pups are socialized from birth. They are raised in my house, not in a kennel, and born in my home. Every pup born has been helped into the world with my own hands. All pups are exposed to household noises, cats and other dogs. We are handling and training them all day, every day. Most of our pups are adopted by families with children and have excellent temperaments This takes many hours each and every day and many more hours during whelping times . Delivering puppies often happens at night and requires you stay up all night. Then, for 4 weeks getting up in the night to check on puppies, feed the bitch and take her out to toilet in the night. A lactating bitch will eat up to 5 pounds of food a day. We maintain a 2% loss rate for all puppies born to our bitches. Statistically about 30% of all puppies born will die in infancy. |
