Our Breeding Program
As dog lovers, it is important to us that the welfare of our breeding dogs and all of our puppies is our first priority. As such we have designed our breeding program to align with the RSPCA’s standards for responsible breeders and abide by the strict, ethical code of practice.
Below are some of the features of our program that set us apart from other breeders
Guardianship Program
We don't believe dogs should be kept in a kennel environment, or for the sole purpose of breeding.
All of our dogs are placed in loving guardian homes, where they live as pets with their forever families.
They are valued members of their families, reside indoors, and life full lives.
Extensive Health Testing
All of the dogs in our breeding program undergo comprehensive genetic health screening through Orivet for 215 genetic diseases, as well as undergoing hip and elbow screening (x-ray) for the risk of dysplasia.
​
We select our breeding stock based on their health, temperament, and low-shedding coat.
Limited Litters
Our mums are not bred until they reach full adult physical development and have had at least one heat cycle.
​
Once ready for breeding, our mums will only ever have a maximum of three litters before they retire from our breeding program to live out their days with their guardian families.
Quality Care
Our dogs and puppies mean the world to us so we are passionate about ensuring they are cared for while they are with us and when they go to their new forever homes.
​
The Boho application process allows us to carefully select homes that will provide a loving and caring environment for our puppies.
​
Welfare
We work closely with a reproductive veterinary specialist and are guided by their advice when breeding our dogs.
All of our dogs and puppies receive regular health checks, are vaccinated and wormed, and are provided socialisation and enrichment opportunities.
​
At Boho Oodles we do not subscribe to early desexing, however, all puppies are sold with a desexing contract that requires them to undergo the spay/neuter procedure at an appropriate age.
