Why Sugardoodles by Smith?
Home Raised:
All of our dams and sires are raised as loved pets inside a home with a family. We keep our dams at our home where they live indoors with our family. We have nearly a half-acre of our yard fenced so that our dogs can run and really stretch their legs all while staying safe. Your sweet englishdoodle puppy will never live in a garage or outbuilding. They will be a member of our family until they join yours!
Health Tested:
Our englishdoodle puppies are guaranteed to be intentionally bred from parents that have been health tested. We believe in being 100% transparent with these results. As such we offer a 2-year genetic health guarantee on all of our puppies. Please see the Sugardoodles by Smith Policies page for more details.
We are BADASS!
OK, but what in the world does that mean? We have chosen to join a community of breeders that commits to following guidelines that ensure ethical practices which honor our dogs, our puppies and our future families.
Badass Breeder Oath
1. Plan Litters - Have a goal, focus, and mission. Do not overpopulate, only meet demand with supply.
2. Parent Standards - Breed only health, temperament, and structure-tested parents. Do not overbreed or breed dogs that fail to meet these standards. Choose breeding pairs that accentuate each other in health and temperament.
3. Parent Care - Honor and respect your dams and sires at all times to keep them healthy and happy. Provide a safe, enriching environment with high-quality vet care, living quarters, and food.
4. Puppy Curriculum - Provide a structured curriculum to ensure that puppies learn the world is safe, people are kind, and dogs are friendly.
5. Puppy Development - Guide, shape, and mold puppies based upon critical learning periods, constantly evaluating and adjusting, to strengthen confidence, nerve strength and startle recovery. Empower pups to be the best they can be. Do not enable them.
6. Puppy Evaluations - Evaluate puppies after 49 days old and provide information on all puppies to clients to ensure the best match is made. After clients have reviewed all veterinarian health check records and Badass Breeder temperament records, then and only then let clients choose the puppy that best suits their needs as well as the puppy’s needs. Guide and help as needed, even if that means you make the match.
7. Lifetime Responsibility - Take 100% responsibility for every puppy you produce for the entirety of its life and provide a minimum two-year contract.
8. Client Community - Educate your clients, both new and old, and build a cohesive, active community. Be open to feedback, both positive and negative.
9. Love - Love your dogs, love your puppies, love your clients, and change the stigma. Be “badass” or stop breeding.
10. Your Mission: Stay true to the reason why you breed. Help others and make sure you have fun and enjoy the journey! Let’s change the world and heal hearts and save lives through the power of a dog. Together, we are better.
