Health Information

We want your puppy to have the best possible health. Thus it is very important to test all breeding stock. Standard Poodles can be susceptible to certain health conditions and the best method to ensure our puppies are healthy is to make sure the Sire and Dam are. The health of our breeding stock and puppies is a top priority for Beaucaniche Poodles.

Breeding stock have received the following tests (and results):

*Sebaceous Adenitis (Histovet Lab)(Normal)

*Hips (Ontario Veterinary College)(No Dysplasia) and Hips (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals)(Good)

*Heart (Texas A&M University)(No Murmur, No Atrial Septal Defect, Normal Echocardiogram)

*Eyes(Canine Eye Registration Foundation)(Normal)

*Thyroid Screen (Animal Health Lab, University of Guelph)(Normal)

*Von Willebrands is cleared through parentage.

All results of these tests are available for your perusal. We offer multi-generational pedigrees on both the sire and dam.

Social Conditioning

At Beaucaniche all of the puppies are raised in our home. All puppies are identified individually by colour coded collars or non toxic colour marks so that their personalities and developmental milestones can be recognized. Puppies are involved and integrated with humans very early on in their development. They are also exposed to a large variety of daily sounds and noises (i.e. Vacuums, Phones, Car horns, thunder, etc.), which acclimates them to everyday living. Puppies are also separated from their littermates for short periods so that they become independent. In addition, we also take the puppies for car rides to get them used to the motion of the motor vehicle and lessen the possibility of car sickness. The puppies are part of our family, until they become part of yours.
