Guardian Homes: Not all the dogs in our breeding program live here at Moss Creek.  Many of the McDoodles Parents live in "Guardian Homes."  We place some of our breeding dogs with Guardian families at 8 weeks of age.  We retain full ownership.  The Dogs live with the Guardian Families as their pets.  After the dog passes all the genetic testing - the dogs  come to Moss Creek to be bred and then again 2 weeks before the puppies are due.  The Mom's stay here at Moss Creek through the delivery and until the puppies go home.   We feel this is a win win situation for us, the dogs, the Guardian Families and our puppies. The dogs are in a home environment and not a kennel.  They are also in their forever home.  We breed them 4 times over the next 4 years and then they are spayed or neutered.  If you would like more information about becoming a Guardian Home for Moss Creek Goldendoodles and live in the Central Florida area, send us an email.

Personalized Customer Service:  We understand that bringing a new puppy into your family is a huge decision.  We look forward to working with you to find just the right doodle.  Any questions you may have will be answered via email or phone call promptly.

The McDoodles Forum:   The forum was set up for our puppy owners to stay in touch with each other.  It has grown into a wonderful community of Goldendoodle lovers.  It is here you can ask for training tips, organize doodle romps in your area, and share pictures and stories with other Goldendoodle lovers.  Many of our puppies get to romp with their littermates on a regular basis.  When you purchase a Moss Creek puppy, it's not over after you pick up your puppy.  We hope you stay in touch and become a part of the McDoodles community.  You’re guaranteed to make some wonderful friends and have a lot of fun along the way.  

Weekly pictures:  We take hundreds of pictures of each litter.  We take pictures of our puppies at birth and every week until they go home.  We put collars on our puppies at birth - they all wear different colors so you can watch them grow from week to week.   We feel this bonds our new puppy owners to their puppy before he/she goes home.     

Temperament testing: Since your new puppy will be a friend/family member for life, our goal is to match you with the right puppy. Our puppies are temperament tested at 6 weeks old using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test. This along with your puppy application, phone interview, emails and pictures, helps us match the perfect puppy with your family and lifestyle.  Just like in humans, puppies have different personalities.  It is crucial to have this testing and observation of the puppies from the minute they are born helping you pick your next family member. 

Crate Training:  Teaching a puppy to sleep in the crate and not soil it, is an intensive and exhaustive task.  We do more than just introduce your puppy to a crate. We actually train your puppy to sleep in its own crate through the night.  The early days of this process are the most difficult.  We have implemented a system that slowly teaches your puppy to enjoy being in the crate without soiling it. This makes for many sleepless nights on our part. We feel this early head start to crate training makes the transition to your home less stressful for the puppy and you! Most of our puppies go home able to sleep comfortably in their crates at night, for a period of six hours without accidents.  Our customers are worth this extra effort.  We send all of our puppies home with the crate we have trained them in. 

Micro Chipped: Moss Creek Goldendoodles are Micro chipped by our Vet at 8 weeks.  The Home Again Pet Recovery Service works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year to facilitate the recovery of lost pets. New puppy owners can enroll their pet's Home Again microchip identification number with the Recovery Service online or by mailing back the enrollment form included in your puppy kit - Your pet's ticket home! The puppy goes home with the Micro Chip Application for the owners to register. 

Vaccinations:  Our puppies are vaccinated at 6 and 8 weeks.  At 8 weeks they also receive their first Kennel Cough Vaccine.  The puppies are wormed - as a preventative at 3, 6 and 8 weeks.   Our puppies are checked by our Veterinarian several times and go home with a signed Health Certificate and shot record stating they are in excellent health. 

Puppy kit:  All Moss Creek Puppies go home with a nice McDoodles canvas bag,   Moss Creek Goldendoodles collar, leash, Nature's Variety puppy food, NuVet vitamins, lots of toys, blanket that smells like Mom, crate the puppy was trained in, signed copy of our 2-year Health Guarantee and Contract, Health Certificate signed by our Vet, shot record, detailed instructions to continue what we've started with crate training and feeding schedules.  Most importantly, lifetime support and re-home if needed.  We are always available to assist you long after your puppy leaves our home.

After the Puppy Goes Home:  We offer many avenues for you to utilize in the training of your new puppy.  Our forum is a great place to meet other Moss Creek Goldendoodle owners and ask questions as they arise.

For those customers that are interested in obtaining a fully trained puppy, we offer a training program called Milo’s Boot Camp for Puppies.  Our puppy consultant will potty-train your puppy, socialize it and teach basic commands - “sit, down, wait, come, no bite, leave it, and off”.  Milo's Boot Camp will get your puppy accustomed to a daily crating routine that matches your schedule and teach basic manners such as waiting patiently for meals, sitting for attention and  learning not to jump or bark rudely. Milo’s Boot Camp is an exclusive service offered to Moss Creek Goldendoodle owners only.  If you would like to reserve space for your puppy in our program, please indicate this on the puppy application form or during your phone interview.  Once your puppy has been born, you will be referred to our training consultant.  Read what others think of our training program!
