#cavoodlepuppy #cavapoopuppy #cavoodlepuppyvlog
Hello friends
MEET LULU, our new 8 week old black and tan cavoodle puppy or cavapoo puppy! We got her from NSW Cavoodle Breeders called Puppy Paradise Cavoodles for $3500 instead of $8000 which is the usual cost of a cavoodle puppy in Australia! Join us as we road trip to Cootamundra to pick up our cavapoo puppy, Lulu, for the first time and bring her home to her new home! Spend the first 24 hours with our new cavoodle puppy as we practice the best routines for puppies, toilet training an 8 week old puppy, socialising a new puppy and dealing with puppy separation anxiety by providing her with licking mats, crate training and a snuggle puppy toy! Please comment any questions or tips you have for a training an 8 week old puppy for myself and others to benefit too xxx thank you all! Get ready for more puppy content coming in the early new year :)

Hi everyone xx I have deleted a short segment at the beginning of this video where I talked for too long about the breeder we went with! I am going to make a more detailed and dedicated video on our experience with the NSW Breeder, the Cost of Lulu, and a little Lulu update- stay tuned for that xxxx

[@glaceonfox9116]

Omg… she’s so precious. ❤️ I have few bits of advice for you though if you don’t mind. I recently got a puppy, not a cavapoo, mine is a German shepherd x cattle dog but I’m sure this may be helpful to you. - You are able to use her meals to help train her, so hand feeding her and encouraging her to sit, lie down and so on is something you’re able to do. Use her meals as a resource to strengthen your bond with her. In terms of what you’re feeding though, I recommend always hydrating your dry food with either warm water, broth or even goats milk. Kibble in itself is very dehydrating as it’s very low in moisture and can be high in salt depending on the brand. Using these liquids can also make the food more enticing and encourage pup to eat. In terms of whether to feed cooked, raw or commercial canned/kibble is a personal thing. There’s benefits for each really but there’s also cons. I really recommend researching each diet. I am currently feeding my girl commercial raw, kibble and some canned. Cavapoos are known for their sensitive stomach so even seeing a vet can provide some insight. So far though, you’re doing great!

[@StephanieJD]

Omg thank you so so much for all the advice!! I will definitely try soaking the biscuits, the breeder said she would do that but I thought it was because they were hard to chew!! Thank you again for all that advice! All the best to you and your german Shepard 🥰🥰

[@khanhhm5762]

I'm a bit late because I just saw this video… But this is absolutely one of the best comments about dogs that I have read in a very long time! As an experienced dog handler, I know that all of this is completely valid and Sensical. What I really love is, how supportive and thoughtful you were. You gave information without being pushy, which seems to be a rarity in the dog community.

Hi Stephanie: This video just popped up on my main feed. I don't normally click on a lot of videos, but for some reason I decided to click on this one, and I'm glad I did! I know this is a bit late, and I'm sure your girl is now Much more mature. (I did look at some of your latest videos, which I will watch, and I see that you got a second puppy!) Anyway, I really enjoyed watching this. You guys sound like absolutely wonderful people, and I'm sure that you did plenty of preparation prior to getting her. I did not read through all the comments, but in regards to those who think that adopting is better than purchasing… Well, that very much depends on the individual person and circumstance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with purchasing from a responsible breeder, and it isn't anyone else's business to tell you what to do. Briefly about me: I'm a woman living in the United States. I currently have a German Shepherd service dog (four year old male), and I am raising a puppy rat terrier to become a future service dog (five month old male, named Casper, but I affectionately call him chocolate ghost , because he is a solid chocolate, he has beautiful green eyes, and I think of Casper the friendly ghost.) i've had dogs for 23+ years, and I am passionate about training every dog who comes into my life. But I'm not interested in training people with dogs. Ha ha. Anyway, I look forward to watching more of your content. Wags to your little pack!

[@laurenbailey8533]

Loved this video! Thanks for sharing. Would love to see updates on Lulu 🐾🥰 she’s gorgeous!

[@StephanieJD]

Awww thanks so much!! She will definitely be featured in many videos to come 🐶🐶🥰🥰

[@monicasuyo1330]

OMG guys, she is sooo cute!!!

[@StephanieJD]

I know right 🥺😍

[@Alisha-zq2cf]

Absolutely love Lulu! She definitely has the eyes of a typical Cavalier! I highly recommend a fresh/raw food dog diet! It's much healthier than any other diets for dogs! But ultimately you should do what is best for Lulu! If she doesn't do well on that type of diet then try a healthy kibble. Make sure the kibble does not have any fillers or preservatives. The first few ingredients should always be fresh sources of meat. If you need any other help, please let me know! I have Cavalier who is 17 months old and I have definitely learned a lot with her!

[@StephanieJD]

Omg thank you so much for that advice! She definitely came around and now loves the homemade food we made for her (thank fully)! It’s lots of veggies and both chicken mince and beef mince from a recipe online!! I hope your cavalier is going well! Is it a similar colour to Lulu? 😍

[@Alisha-zq2cf]

Aww that is really nice to hear! Our Cavalier’s name is actually Luna. She is a chestnut and white color! But she looks similar to Lulu because of her expressive eyes!

[@keshiafunches4115]

Awww so cute

[@peasandpeaches340]

I think that the Advance puppy food is rehydratable, so you can add a bit if water to either turn it into a paste or make it softer for the puppy to eat!

[@blessthisemptynest]

We just got a cavapoo. Crate training has been going good, last night she slept from 10pm until 3am then out for pee and straight back in and woke me at 8am. She is a toy poodle (mama) and King Charles cavalier (papa) 9 weeks old.

@@StephanieJD thank you so much 🥰

[@hypnoticmoon4487]

U shouldn't immediately switch her food as it will upset her tummy. Let her eat the kibbles she is used to for the next few weeks and then very veRy slowly u make the change. And there is a specific way to change a puppies kibbles. Please research how to do it correctly for your breed. When you are making a switch you have to begin by adding just a tiny bit of the new kibble to her current kibble at all her meal times. After a few days u slightly increase the amount of the new kibble mixed in with current kibble and so on...
