Jinx and Ronan have a tiny litter of medium-sized goldendoodles
DOB May 11
Gotcha Day July 6
Coats - wavy, very low-shed
Size female 45-50 and males 60+ - a complete guess, Jinx is a full-size golden, Rnan is 35 lbs.
A List of Basic Supplies:
Nature’s Domain Puppy Food – sold at Costco **
One can “pate” style dog food for encouraging eating Blue Wilderness is great.
Treats should be limited to training only. A piece of American cheese or Blue Wilderness Training Bites are good options.
Food and water bowls
I.D. Tags with the contact information for yourself and your veterinarian
A small or medium adjustable collar or harness and a 6-foot leather or nylon leash. Best to go with a cheap small, they grow fast.
Puppy Shampoo
Brush (pin brush), comb, and nail clipper
Cleanup supplies such as a stain remover, paper towels, deodorizing spray
Chew Toys – Benebones are current favorites
A stuffed toy with a “heartbeat” is great for comfort at night
Bells for housebreaking
An expandable indoor crate for the crate training. Goldendoodles/Medium Sproodles – 36” and Small Sproodles – 30 Tractor Supply, Amazon, and Overstock.com have good prices
Optional - An exercise pen for assistance in crate training (I recommend placing the puppy in the pen in the location where you want the puppy to potty for life. When you take him outside, carry him and place him in the pen so he doesn’t go anywhere else. Do this for a week or two and that will become the primary potty place.
** Taste of the Wild puppy food is a great alternate for those non-Costco members. Ask for some food on Gotcha Day for transition.
Please do NOT shop for used puppy supplies. Getting a crate from a trusted friend or family member is fine, however, you can’t be certain that one bought from a stranger wasn’t exposed to illness. It’s not worth the risk of exposure.
