Recommended Supplies
While each Freshly Minted puppy goes home with a breeder's care package (sample food, toy, blanket with mother's scent, care pamphlet etc.) You will need to have some supplies on hand before you bring your puppy home. This will make the transition easier for you and your new puppy! You will find recommended supplies listed here as well as items that were have enjoyed having for the lifetimes of our dogs!
While what you ultimately feed your dog is your choice, remember: even if your dog seems picky or is skipping his meals, don't immediately change the food or add tasty treats to tempt him to eat. This will only train him to wait for the expensive stuff! Give him 15-20 minutes and put away any uneaten food. He will eat when he is hungry! \nGrooming your Goldendoodle puppy is extremely important! While his coat will likely be low-shedding, it may be prone to matting (especially in his first couple years of life as the coat is maturing). To prevent matting, which can lead to dirt build up, skin irritation and dreaded 'hot-spots' brush your puppy thoroughly every day.

Training
A sturdy crate is an amazing asset! Not only does it give your puppy a safe place to rest, it also gives you peace of mind when you're out of the house. From helping with potty training to preventing unwanted chewing, a properly used crate is essential.
