At Huck's Adventures our goal is to produce happy, healthy Cavapoo’s & Miniature Poodle puppies who will be a great addition to your family & home. We are a small in-home breeder. We hope you find your perfect companion At Huck’s Adventures. Here is our program and why your puppy is different:
HEALTH TESTED PARENTS
At Huck’s Adventures our journey begins with healthy, happy parents. All of our parent dogs are living in our home, have great temperaments and undergo not only genetic but physical health testing. A healthy puppy begins with healthy parents. It is important that our parent dogs are the best examples of what a Cavapoo & Miniature Poodle should be in order to breed the best puppies.
PREGNANCY & WHELPING CARE
Our sweet mamas are given the best care throughout their pregnancy. From vet visits, extra nutrition, on-call vet services, and more, our Moms are well prepared to bring their puppies into the world. Once their due date approaches Moms are integrated into their whelping area. During whelping our moms receive delivery assistance as needed.
ENS & ESI
Once puppies are born into the world at Huck’s Adventures, we begin ENS (early neurological stimulation) and ESI (early scent introduction) at 3 days old. This is performed on days 3-16, including gentle handling and daily weights. ENS is known to improve cardiovascular performance, stronger heartbeats, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease. ESI training is designed to enhance their ability to identify, and react to specific scents.
CURRICULUM
At 3 weeks we also begin socializing our puppies to different sounds, sights, textures, things to climb on, run through and more. We believe in empowering over enabling our puppies. We set them up to conquer physical and mental challenges every day. By doing this we build our puppies’ nerve strength and confidence as well as problem solving skills. Our goal is to provide our puppies with a stable and enriching environment for the first 8 weeks of their lives.
10 STEP HANDLING
At 3 weeks old we transition into a more advanced curriculum with our puppies set forth by Jeanette Forrey with 4E Kennels called Badass Breeder Program. We begin a “10 step puppy massage” every day and increase pressure weekly. We use our 10 step handling exercises to ensure our puppies are exposed to various types of touch, handling and sensation. This includes eyes, nose, inside mouth, around collar, tummy, down back, pull tail, tug on ears, and tapping nails. This type of training helps them to adjust to different people touching them.
TEMPERAMENT TESTING
At 7 weeks of age, we conduct a puppy aptitude test on each individual puppy set forth by the Badass Breeder Program. During the test we are focused on 12 important puppy temperament traits to help make sure you get a puppy that fits you, your lifestyle and your needs as well as honoring who the puppy is. Once temperament testing and vet checks are completed families will be able to watch evaluation videos and see scorecards of each puppy in order for them to make the right decision for their family on go home day. Picking of the puppy is made in the order of where the family was placed on the deposit list. If a breeder is on the deposit list, they do get 1st pick, due to qualifications they may need. NO EXCEPTIONS.
What is a Cavapoo?
A Cavapoo is a cross between a Caviler King Charles Spaniel and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. At Huck's Adventures we focus on F1 & F1bb. The F1 is a mix of Caviler King Charles Spaniel (50%) and Toy or Miniature Poodle (50%). The F1b are a mix of 75% Poodle and 25% Caviler King Charles Spaniel, while F-1BB pups are 87.5% Poodle and 12.5% Caviler King Charles Spaniel. They are known for their affectionate, intelligent, energetic and full of fun friendly nature. They are extremely friendly and adaptable dogs that get along well with young children and other pets. Their hypoallergenic coat which sheds minimally, allows dog lovers with allergies to become pet owners without sacrificing their own health. The average weight is about 10-20 pounds. Here at Huck's Adventures, we believe that every puppy deserves to be healthy, happy, and loved. That's why we focus on designer dogs that are not only beautiful but also have excellent temperaments and are free of any genetic health issues. Our dogs are DNA tested for the diseases common in their breed.
