       Our Foster Programfor Australian multigen labradoodles

Available for Fostering: We have one puppy from Lady's litter that will be available to the right home after the first week of January 2012 and also considering keeping back a puppy from Muggles upcoming spring/summer 2012 litter.

Copper Canyon All That Jazz
chocolate labradoodle puppy
This sweetie is a well put together girl with a lovely stocky body and mellow social nature.  Jazz is a steady nerved  girl who loves people and I think she'd do well in a therapy program.  She'll be a full sized medium girl or small standard size, likely between 40 and 50 pounds when fully grown.  Jazz was born in November of 2011. She will suit a family with children or grand children and we'd prefer for her to stay on the Island.   

Fostering a dog can be an excellent way to have a top quality dog for a family pet.  We do not believe in the long term kennelling of our dogs.  Dogs raised in kennels often do not get the socialization and stimulation that is needed to be a well balanced, happy animal.  Therefore, we like to place our upcoming babies in forever homes with suitable families as their dog and we retain breeding rights. 

We pay for all health testing, and when the dog is old enough, they come back to our home for breeding and whelping.  When the dog reaches the age (usually somewhere around the age of five or six) where they should be retired from breeding, we spay the dog for you and the dog enjoys the wonderful home it's had all it's life. 

Males are usually retained for siring babies for longer, but do not need to leave their families for long periods.

Fostering programs have many benefits for the foster family, the breeder and the dog:
- foster families have a 'pick of litter' puppy chosen by the breeder
- the dog doesn't need to be rehomed as an adult after retiring
- there is no need for the breeder to kennel the dogs, so the dogs are happy and healthy 
- the dogs are well socialized and in good environments
- foster families can schedule trips during whelpings without paying
  for kennelling their pet
There are certain requirements for providing a foster home for one of our dogs.  Foster families must:
- own their own homes
- have a fully fenced yard
- take their dog to puppy obedience classes
- ensure the puppy is well socialized
- provide veterinary care when needed and to notify the breeder of what has transpired!
- feed a diet approved by the breeder
- notify breeder when a female begins her heat cycle
- must not allow a female around intact males during her cycle
- must not allow a male to breed other females!
- live within reasonable driving distance
- be interviewed by the breeder
Copper Canyon Labradoodles does charge a $600 dollar homing fee for our guardian dogs, and $400 is returned when the contract is finished.  We feel that people often do not value what comes without cost and a nominal fee encourages foster families to think seriously before bringing a dog into the home. Please understand that a foster or guardian arrangement is meant to be a PERMANENT home for the dog; it becomes YOUR dog and it is very hard on a dog to be rehomed after it is used to you and has grown to love your family!  
Here is the link to our fostering contract for any who are interested in being a part of our foster/guardian program.  Much of this contract is similar to our health guarantee, but certain clauses are different and so it is posted for your perusal.  If you think our foster program interests you, please feel free to contact us and see what we have coming available for fostering.
