I utilize the following enrichment methods: Bathing, Puppy temperament evaluation , Early socialization, Initial House Training, Dog door, Scent Introduction, Noise desensitization, Behavioral shaping , Pee pad, Human Interactions , Puppy Manners, Puppy Culture , Basic manners, Potty training, crate training, and "No" Biting or Chewing.
All puppies are vaccinated and taken to the vet for a well Puppy Health check.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While The Hoppers Back 40 hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.

Good level
The Hoppers Back 40 reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Aussiedoodles.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
