That little extra

We believe in going the extra mile for the absolute health and wellbeing of our puppies.

We follow a stringent biosecurity plan, which we feel covers off on our Animal Welfare and Code of Conduct and Ethics.

Our puppies are Vet checked, microchipped, DNA swabbed for parentage verification and vaccinated at 6 weeks of age. 

You will need to vaccinate again at 10 weeks old and 14 weeks old.

We will send you a document with all of the vaccinations that you are required to get puppy.  Puppy will also come with their own healthcare record booklet with our Vet's examination notes and given vaccination.

Our puppies and their mum are wormed every two weeks with veterinary recommended product ensuring that your puppy is in the best possible health. 

Prior to leaving our safe environment our puppies are also given their first month protection for heartworm, fleas, ticks and earmites. 

While these aren't an issue on the farm we want to ensure they are covered for when they go to their new homes. 

All our dogs are Full Breed Profile tested for any genetic diseases and traits.

This is done by DNA testing through the Orivet Laboratory.

We have extensively researched and use Hypro Premium puppy and adult biscuits. 

We are happy that it is an Australian owned and made product and is holistically sourced. 

It is an efficient, yet affordable for our families, feed, that provides for a well rounded balanced diet, that you may wish to continue on with or introduce your preferred feed.  

We often hear from our families that their Vets are very happy with the task we have done raising puppy.

You will find a link to the food we are currently using in our "Links" section.

Our water is filtered though a Puretec blue light filter system.  We do this as a UV light sterilisation water filter is a highly effective method to treat water without contaminating it with chemicals. This  ensures our water is clean & healthy, guaranteeing quality and helping to prevent water borne diseases from unwanted parasites, viruses and bacteria that cause ill health or even death. 

We like you to be a part of puppy's life as much as possible before they join your family, so we send out fortnightly photos and updates on;

• When they open their eyes 
• When they start eating 
• The food they are being fed 
• When they are being wormed & product used
• Their vaccinations and vet checks

At 6 weeks of age, you will also receive a comprehensive document containing;

• The food we have been feeding and advice on where to purchase
• What vaccinations will be due and when
• Future wormings
• Microchip details

and you will receive suggestions on;

• Crate training
• Puppy pre school and obedience training
• Engaging a trainer
• Pet insurance 

While our puppies are not fully toilet trained they have been encouraged to toilet outside on the grass.  

Our puppies are locked away at night for safety and security and we believe this is a great precursor to crate training.

• Exercising
• Training
• Crate training & time out training to avoid separation anxiety 
• Hours spent at home vs work 
• If this breed is for you

Regular phone calls over the first week of puppy joining your family, through to always being available to help, be it 10 days or 10 years time.

We have Facebook groups for different regions/areas to;

• offer support
• a safe place for sharing photos 
• asking advice 
• organising catch ups 
• and being part of the Delaquois family community

Our dogs enjoy free daylight access to yards that are cleaned daily. 

They are roughly 120 metres long by 20 metres wide, having manicured lawns with cool shading eucalyptus trees .
