Doodle Care

Here are Lexacious Australian Labradoodles we provide a 2 year health guarantee for our Lexacious puppy families. All of Our Doodles have come from health/DNA tested parents and we also carry out extensive health screening prior to breeding our doodles to ensure that no puppy will be genetically affected from breed specific diseases.

​​

• DM (Degenerative Myelopathy)

• EIC (Exercise-induced Collapse)

• HNPK (Hereditary Nasal parakeratosis)

• PRA (Progressive Retinol Atrophy, Cone-Rod Dystrophy 4)

• VWD (Von Willebrand Disease I)

• IC (Improper Coat)

​

We also make sure that any future breeding parents undergo

HIP & ELBOW Scoring 

​

When you research for a reputable breeder it is very important that they health/DNA test all of their breeding dogs and that all heath/DNA test certificates are available to view upon request.

As a registered WALA breeder we have to submit  all our tests to WALA before our dogs can be bred and be regsitered. Once registered we then display our dogs WALA number next to their profile. If a breeder is breeding their dogs before carrying out health tests then they are breeding Unethically!

Here at Lexacious ALL of our dogs are WALA registered and we only breed our dogs with registered affiliated breeders of Australian Labradoodle organisations and only with dogs that have completed all of their Health and DNA tests.

​

We also DNA Profile ALL of our *breeding dogs prior to registering our litters. 

By doing this I can assure you as the buyer of my puppies that I have provided WALA accurate information on the ancestry of my puppies I am selling you. Incidentally, as well as ascertaining whether a dog is as advertised, a DNA profile can also help identify an animal that has been lost (or stolen) and then found.

A DNA profile gives a unique genetic code for your dog. You could think of it like your dog’s very own genetic fingerprint. This allows accurate identification of your dog and can be used to *confirm their parentage. 

​

*All our puppies come with registered WALA Pedigree Certificates

Puppy Love

​

Here at Lexacious our puppies will be raised in our home with Love. We will follow a puppy culture programme. Thereafter the first 8 weeks using the puppy culture method it is then up to you to continue what we have started; to love and care for you're doodle. 

​

The average life expectancy of a doodle is approx 13-15 years. During that time you will need to consider costs such as vet bills, dog insurance, feeding, and grooming expenses. Not to mention the endless toys, and other basics like bedding and puppy/socialisation classes.

Puppy/socialisation classes is a must for any dog, especially for this breed. If you want a confident, socialized, obedient dog then you need to invest in puppy/socialization classes. This is necessary for both you and the dog; no matter how many dogs you've had before. I will provide a lifelong commitment of support and advice but

puppy, socialization and obedience training is your responsibility and an essential part of owning a dog.

Doodles require daily age appropriate exercise and mental stimulation. Their love for water means they seek out water and get wet a lot!

Further information will be sent out in your exclusive Lexacious Puppy Information Pack.
 

UK Law you will need; Pet ID tag, this must include the Dogs name, postcode, house/flat number, tel number, this must be attached to a collar /harness, lead (NOT retractable), a dog bed/crate. 

​

Before our puppies leave for their furever home, they are microchipped. UK law requires that they are firstly registered to us at Leaxacious Australian Labradoodles and thereafter once your doodle is at home with you their details will legally need to be updated.

WALA has further information of caring for your puppy on their website.

Food

It is advisable you feed your dog a good nutritious quality hypoallergenic dog food whether that be  BARF/raw, kibble or wet food. Food is a personal choice, but I strongly advise you look at allaboutdogfood.com and make an informed decision based on your family's lifestyle / budget. 

NEVER FEED 'COOKED BONES' AS THEY WILL SPLINTER AND CAUSE YOUR PET SERIOUS INJURY.

​

In your Exclusive Lexacious puppy information pack you will have further guidance on feeding and a list of foods/plants that are poisonous /harmful for your dog.
