I'm the breeder behind Our Little Castle of Labradoodles located in Saginaw, MI. We are a family of dog lovers that have a small breeding program. I have been breeding Labradoodles for 14 years. Our dogs are our pets, first and foremost. They live inside our home, never outside in a kennel. As a small breeder, we only have one litter of puppies at a time. By doing this we can spend time with each puppy and give them the best start in life. Our female is CKC registered, OFA certified, and is genetically tested by Pawprint Genetic's.

I try to introduce different types of things to them each day or week. I'm starting the Puppy Culture program with my next litter. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture .
I deworm at 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 weeks old. Dewclaws removed 3 to 5 days old by the vet. They get shots at 6 and 8 weeks by the vet. And any other if I still have any after 8 weeks old. Microchip by the vet.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates.
