Sharing the Love One Puppy at a Time!

MISSION

Much time and research were done in order to find quality parents that have the “look” that we prefer and the temperament that we know will make the best life companions for our puppy families. We believe you can’t do better than our sweet-tempered puppies. Realizing you have many options in choosing your “fur-ever family member," we pride ourselves in helping you pick the puppy that will be perfect for your family. This is an important decision and we are working hard to rise above the rest with our occasional litters. In addition to planning our litters around great temperament, our parent dogs have good health clearances and all puppies go home with a health guarantee.

OUR BACKGROUND

We are an in-home family breeder specializing in Goldendoodle, Miniature Goldendoodle, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, Cockapoo, Cavalier King Charles, and Cavapoo puppies.  We are located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, hence the name Red Stick Kennels.  Our goal is to produce healthy, happy, and well-socialized puppies. All of our puppies are raised in our home with the love, care, and socialization only a large family can offer.   Our parent dogs are raised as part of our family on our four-acre micro-farm or in select guardian homes.

We have a true passion for the process and love of our breeds.

SOCIALIZATION

Puppies are very impressionable for the first 16 weeks of life.  We take the care and responsibility of our pups very seriously and we realize that our care is all that they will know during those first formative weeks.  It is our goal to introduce them to a world of healthy discovery, good behavior, and positive experiences, that's why we use Puppy Culture Curriculum with our puppies. Puppies imprint on their mother, their littermates, people, sounds, animals, and places.  This process builds trust between the puppy, owner, and environment and this trust builds confidence and relationships encouraging healthy development.

His demeanor is so sweet.  I think he might be the best dog we have ever had.  Thank you for sharing him with us. -Adrienne M.

I just wanted to say thanks for providing them such a safe and nurturing environment for those first couple of months.  They were both so healthy and well adjusted off the bat and I couldn't be more pleased.  I will definitely recommend Red Stick Kennels to others.  -Pamela J.

Puppy Selection

Here at Red Stick Kennels, we do things a little differently than most breeders.  Puppy selections are not made until puppies are approximately 6 weeks of age. 

 

Just like people have different personalities, so do puppies, and we want to make sure you are getting the perfect puppy for your home and lifestyle.  That is why we wait until puppies are old enough for temperament testing prior to selection. 

 

Once temperament testing is complete, score reports and a video of the testing are then sent out to everyone on our reservation list.  After review, a video call is scheduled and picks are made in the order of reservations received. Any remaining puppies would then be listed as available at that time. 

 

Vaccinations

Your puppy will be dewormed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and vet-checked before going home. You will receive a report from our vet and a vaccination record to take with you to your vet. We recommend you make an appointment to see your vet within 72 hours after you pick up your puppy.

 

Microchipped

Your puppy will be microchipped before going home.  We use Fi Nano microchips with lifetime registration/no annual fee. All you have to do is register the puppy in your name online.

Health Guarantee

We provide a 1-year health guarantee for life-threatening genetic defects for all of our puppies.

Puppy Training

We use Puppy Culture Curriculum to provide proper socialization and behavior training from the minute your puppy is born until it goes home with you. We complete ENS, handling exercises, exposure exercises, and Volhard Aptitude temperament testing.  Additionally, we start working on potty training after introducing solid food around 4-5 weeks of age.  We also begin crate training around 6 weeks. What does this mean for you? You will go home with a puppy who has been well socialized, with a headstart on potty training and is comfortable being in their crate. We want to do the best we can to make the transition for you and your new puppy as smooth as possible.

 

Puppy Care Package

Your new puppy will come home with a small bag of food, training treats, a blanket with littermates scent, toys, and more!

 

What do you need?

Your puppy will have started crate training here so you will want to have a crate large enough for them to grow into but one that comes with a divider so you can change the size as they grow.  You will also need high-quality puppy food. We use and recommend Victor Professional All-life Stages food. It will be important that you have lots of chew toys for your new puppy as they will be teething.
