Yes! We can organise special arrangements for our pups to be transported overseas and interstate throughout Australia.

Interstate pups leave here in their own pet carrier to ensure a safe and stress free transit to you. The pet carrier is included in the freight cost component of each pup/s. Interstate pups must be paid in full the week before their scheduled flight.

For an international arrangement we will communicate and dicuss the best options to transport the pup. Please contact us through our “Contact Us” page to let us know.

Please note: prices are displayed to Australian visitors of this website (unless otherwise marked) including GST if applicable to the product, and in Australian Dollars.

The most important thing you need to consider when choosing a type of dog is its “activity levels” and your family’s activity levels. It’s no point getting a dog that is not compatible to your family if you are all sedentary or too busy to exercise the dog daily as this will cause the dog to develop behavioural problems such as boredom and destructive types of behaviour.

The types of dogs we breed here are categorised into high to medium to low levels of activity with the Spoodle being the highest, the Schnoodle being the next, the Cavoodle being medium to low and the Moodle being the lowest. So if you are an active family that does not mind walking the dog daily and taking it to the dog park at least three times a week for a good run off the lead and/or jogging for exercise beside you then you should be well suited for a Spoodle. The other types of dogs then go down the scale of exercise needs to just having a good walk in the park and some time off the lead for a run out. Dogs need to leave their back yard or apartment to ensure their mental wellbeing as well as you do enjoy going out for your type of entertainment. It also makes them tired so they are less likely to do naughty things to burn up that pent up energy especially when they are young.

All dogs should have a discipline regime and understand obedience either basically or to a higher level if required as this also balances the dog and they are more likely to be managed properly so Dom’n’t overdo the “love metre” or spoil the dog by allowing it to do what it likes because, it might not love you if you discipline it. They will respect you more if they know their place within the pack and should always remain in the Omega position behind all adults and children respectively. Exercise, discipline and then affection will ensure your dog stays social, well behaved and happy in it’s pack… always remember you are the boss.

An F1 is the offspring of two different purebreds. An F1B is the offspring of 1 purebred and 1 first cross.

Generational Spoodles or any other “Oodle” that goes beyond F1, which is basically a pup produced through the mating of a Purebred sire and a Purebred dam… in the case of an Oodle, it is the father that is the Purebred Poodle, and the dam is the other breed, whether it is a Cocker, a Cavalier, a Maltese or Schnauzer or any of the other combinations. Anything further than an F1, is generationally bred.

When pups are bred into the realms of F4 or F5’s for example, an enormous amount of time has gone into getting to this stage… Most of them can take a lifetime to produce and a large amount of “Foundation stock” to use with careful attention to traits favoured for the resultant end product. There are four options on breeding systems open to breeders. Inbreeding to produce F3 or over is a clever “shortcut” and can produce pups with traits within the gene pool that are very undesirable. Inbreeding is when breeders breed brothers and sisters, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons etc. And that can produce health problems for the pups over the trait that is desired. The other three types can be used with different results and timeframes and are: Linebreeding, Outbreeding and Outcrossing. Any of these methods can be used or a combination of all or just some and to do it successfully and this means by elimination of a;; pf the possible “faults” that are within the gene pool going back five generations to the great, great, great grandparents… 32 in total, is a dedicated task indeed.

So, it would be suggested that doing this to produce a dog that is sold based on one attribute… that it does not shed hair, seems like a whole lot of work and years of toil for one trait that can be bred into a dog just in the first generation. We believe that if you are considering purchasing a pup that has been advertised as an F2 or even as far as an F4 Oodle, you would seriously consider seeing evidence of a full pedigree going back to all those great., great, great grandparents and some, as most breeders of dogs that are sold to the public as pets only… desexed or not, don’t have this type of documentation as proof so this would suggest that it is a deceptive line spun to encourage you to believe the pup you are purchasing is a multi-generational Oodle and is superior, and anything less is inferior. Which is untrue, misleading and breeder spin.

All our pups mated with a poodle have a low-shedding coat. All dogs coats shed to some degree either into the coat itself or shed seasonally. As a Spoodle or a Cavoodle have a mixture of coat blends, they tend to be low shedding or not seasonal shedding. Noodles and Schnoodles have a very low shedding coat as the foundation parents are considered a non-shedding coated animal. If the coat is not kept groomed or clipped, the coat tend to “mat” and look like felt as the hairs get trapped within the coat and this causes knots and that dreadlock look in the coat. It’s quite uncomfortable especially during summer as it traps heat and the dog can suffer from heat stroke. Keeping the coat trimmed and tidy is better for the health of the dog as it can control its body temperature better and also is less likely to harbour fleas and dander.

Yes, Oodles are a non-aggressive natured dog and can get along with all age groups. Our mothers are selected for their temperament and vigour. As with all breeds or the other types of dogs we breed here. No matter how big or small, supervision is very important for both children and dogs safety to avoid accidents that could be potentially life-threatening. Children can squeeze dogs too hard and injure them and a bite could be the result and although done in defence could change the dogs attitude towards children and bring on a fear aggression towards them making them unsuitable to be near children so understand it’s a two way street… children taught to respect the animal and the animal will respect the child.

Teach the children to assist in all management aspects of the dog so the dog learns that the child is to be respected and obeyed just the same as the adult. Helping with the feeding, grooming, bathing and exercising of the dog will build good strong bonds and respect mutually between them and they will have a lot of good times together.

The temperament of oodles is generally active, intelligent and interactive with people and easily trained. They can be relaxed and attentive but, are not generally barkers, diggers, aggressive or destructive.

Taking them to a dog park to interact with other dogs that are also friendly and social is good for the dogs mental wellbeing so, if you have a single dog, make sure it has the opportunity to “make friends” with other likeminded dogs in the area and allow it to be a dog with other dogs it meets.

Their greetings to each other may not be so attractive to us, but it’s how they communicate with each other and recognise friend from foe. Being home all day can get lonely so balance the dogs needs and give it the opportunity to have some fun with other dogs as well as you.

Oodles don’t require or acquire too many health issues, but as their ears are floppy, they need some attention to prevent infections, mite infestation, or some types of fungal problems associated with this characteristic.

Your Vet can be of help with some treatment to prevent these from getting out of hand. On the whole, other types of organ or skeleton problems are not common, but may or do occur from time to time in some dogs. A good yearly check-up is best to keep on top of your dog’s general health and wellbeing. Regular worming and de-fleaing will enhance your oodles health along with a good well balanced diet.

Apart from the normal physical differences, once a pet dog is de-sexed, there is not much in the way of definitive differences between the sexes. Most people either like or prefer one over the other and if they are de-sexed early enough, they really don’t exhibit a lot of difference. It is more in the personality of the dog itself that makes the individuality of the dog different from another. Generally, the male will grow bigger than the female.

The pup’s personality will still develop as normal and will still mature to its potential in height and weight. There won’t be any hormonal surges that can change the pup’s temperament or its focus on your family as a pet. When they are desexed before maturity, they don’t know what they are due to, none of the hormones that define male and female behaviour develop.

Oodles are active especially when they are young and enjoy walks/runs out from the home environment. General obedience is a good thing for all dogs, so make sure that your oodle learns come commands, so you are not chasing it all over town when it is let off for a stretch.

They do very well in obedience so it is recommended you undertake some formal education with your oodle. They can and do learn tricks as well and enjoy the inter-activeness of these as they are eager to please. A good walk each day for about an hour or just a bit less, will be sufficient for your oodle and do enjoy water, so trips to the beach will be enjoyed or any other water environments you take them to.

Puppies need to be fed three times a day with a good balanced puppy food either prepared from you or a commercial brand dog food. As they get older, they can be put on two meals a day and at adulthood, once a day. Good fresh water at all times should be available and if fed a dry food diet, should be complete.

Don’t ever feed dogs cooked bones of any type rather they are better with a good raw shin bone once or twice a week or some chicken necks to help with the gym cleaning and chewing instincts dogs have. There is so much dog food available nowadays it’s hard to pick which is best, but do go for quality rather than what’s cheapest.

When the puppy is very young it should not be left alone for long periods of time as it will display anxiety and stress related behaviour and get ill. You should make time for the pup to be with you as much as possible for the first two to three weeks. They are not used to being alone at all so keep that in mind when considering buying an oodle puppy. They can be sensitive (it’s the Poodle in them). They can go outside, but when young supervision and brief periods on their own for a while. Exploring the back yard can be scary alone, so give them confidence and encouragement if you want them to be more outside than inside.

Keep the pup away from unknown dogs for the first two to three weeks as their immune systems are still undeveloped and they can pick up a bug or virus still. Puppy schools vary depending on the school its mainly to get the pup to stay social with other dogs, but can also include more intensive training sessions and they are usually run by animal trainers or Vets. These are popular and if you are considering doing this contact your vet or qualified animal trainer in your area, it’s also lots of fun.

Puppies fly very well and have no problems being transported this way.

Leaving here at Billabong Creek Kennels to go to their new homes is an important phase of the pup’s life and we want to make it as easy as possible to transition from us to you. We bathe and groom the pups to make them not only lovely, clean and smelling great, but to wash away their old smells and odours, to help them to forget their siblings and mothers smells, so they can start to bond to your family and homes odours/smells. We believe this helps them settle in quicker and begin their new lives without the confusion of smelling their past in a new environment.

Giving them something of yours, with your scent on it such as, an unwashed T-shirt and putting this in their bed will help them to begin the bonding process and settle into your home quicker and with less stress.
