​What Our Puppies Go Home With

​

At Apricot Roots Doodles, our puppies are raised with intention from day one. Before they are even born, we carefully select and pair genetically health-tested parents to give each puppy the very best possible start in life. By prioritizing health, structure, and temperament in our breeding program, we lay a strong foundation long before your puppy ever enters the world.

 

From there, we focus on early development, thoughtful socialization, and a smooth transition to their forever homes.

​

Early Development Foundations​

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS):
Gentle, age-appropriate exercises designed to support resilience, stress tolerance, and healthy neurological development.

​

Early Scent Introduction (ESI):
Exposure to a variety of scents during critical developmental windows to encourage confidence, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.

 

Socialization & Enrichment

• Raised in a home environment with everyday sights and sounds

• Gentle handling and age-appropriate enrichment

• Guided by principles from established breeder development programs

 

Health & Veterinary Care

• Parents genetically health tested for breed-specific conditions

• Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming

• Veterinary health exam prior to go-home

• Written health records and health guarantee

 

Go-Home Bag

Each puppy goes home with a thoughtfully prepared Go-Home Bag to help ease the transition, including:

• Small bag of TLC Puppy Food

• Puppy collar

• A favorite toy

• FortiFlora packets to support digestive health

• 30 days of free Trupanion pet insurance

 

Transition Support

• Scented blanket for comfort and familiarity

• Puppy care guidance to support the first weeks at home

• Ongoing breeder support as your puppy grows

 

Our goal is to raise confident, well-adjusted puppies and to support our families every step of the way — starting with health, and continuing with lifelong support.
