OUR VISITATION POLICY

We often have people asking about coming to visit and to meet our breeding dogs and puppies.  This is what I would want to do if I were buying a new puppy… a new family member. However; there are many things to consider, as a breeder, which many people don’t realize.

We are very busy here at Sierra Springs with taking care of our puppies, visiting guardian dogs, puppies going home and with puppies being born into the world at all hours of the day & night.  We have newborn puppies year round that are very vulnerable to infection and disease and we do not want to take any chances with our puppies’ health which is why we no longer have visiting days.  We have limited your visit to when you pick up your puppy to bring home at 8 weeks old.

Young puppies are very vulnerable to parvo and are at risk for serious illness and even death. Parvo may come in on a visitor’s clothing and shoes, over-handling of puppies, temperature changes, and moms becoming stressed are also dangers for young puppies and can be very detrimental to our breeding program and the welfare of our dogs.  Sierra Springs Australian Doodles is not a facility.  We raise our pups in our home and have lives and family in addition to raising puppies so please be considerate of our time, schedule and the safety of our dogs.

Thank you for understanding and respecting our policy! We look forward to hearing from you!
