Our Breeding Philosophy
Bringing Joy and Happiness through Lovingly Bred Groodles, one wag at a time
Ethical Groodle breeding means much more than producing beautiful puppies. At Fairview Park, it means carefully selecting parents, prioritising health and temperament, raising puppies in a nurturing environment and supporting families long after their puppy goes home. Our goal is to breed with care, purpose and responsibility, always putting the wellbeing of our dogs and puppies first.
What Ethical Breeding Means to Us
For us, ethical breeding is about making responsible decisions at every stage of the process. We consider health, temperament, suitability, puppy development and long-term outcomes, not just demand. We are committed to transparency, thoughtful planning and giving each puppy the strongest possible foundation.
Health, temperament and parent selection
We believe strong breeding starts with careful parent selection. Health, temperament and soundness matter deeply, because they influence the future wellbeing of every puppy. Our aim is to raise dogs that are not only lovely companions, but also stable, healthy and well suited to family life. We focus on:
Selective Breeding: We carefully select breeding pairs based on their health, temperament, and genetic diversity. This ensures that our puppies inherit the best qualities from both parents.
Health Screening: All our breeding dogs undergo rigorous health screenings, including genetic testing and hip scoring to prevent hereditary health issues. This commitment to health ensures that our puppies have the best start in life. We back this up with a comprehensive health guarantee for every puppy that leaves our program.
Optimal Care: Our dogs are part of our family and receive the highest level of care. They live in a loving, nurturing environment where their physical and emotional needs are met.
Early development and socialisation
The early weeks of a puppy’s life are incredibly important. We focus on handling, early enrichment and positive experiences that help our puppies develop confidence and resilience. This early investment supports smoother transitions into their new homes.
We believe that early development and socialisation are crucial for raising well-rounded Groodles. To achieve this, we incorporate the Badass Breeder (BAB) curriculum into our breeding program.
Badass Breeder (BAB) Curriculum
The BAB curriculum is a comprehensive program designed to ensure that our puppies are well-socialised, confident, and adaptable. Key components of the BAB curriculum include:
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS): Starting at three days old, our puppies undergo ENS exercises to enhance their neurological development. This helps them become more resilient and better equipped to handle stress.
Sensory Exposure: We introduce our puppies to a variety of sights, sounds, and textures to stimulate their senses and promote adaptability. This includes exposure to different environments, household noises, and various surfaces.
Socialisation: Our puppies are socialised with people of all ages, other dogs, and various animals. This helps them develop strong social skills and reduces the likelihood of behavioural issues.
Basic Training: We begin basic training early, including crate training, toilet training, and simple commands. This foundation makes it easier for new owners to continue training and establish routines.
Comprehensive Evaluations: Puppies put their curriculum into action and are evaluated between weeks 7-8 to give new families comprehensive information on each puppies temperament and behavioural traits to help them pick a puppy that will best suit their circumstances and give puppies a voice in their selection.
A lifelong commitment to our families
Ethical breeding does not end when a puppy leaves for its new home. We believe in ongoing support, clear communication and helping families feel informed and prepared at every stage of their journey.
We offer resources, advice, and guidance on everything from training and nutrition to healthcare and socialisation and are here for you always.
