Breeding with a focus on Temperament
|
The name Tropicbear came about during our application process when we were starting our Journey into the world of Theodore breeding, and Master Dog Breeders Association. Before then we had dubbed ourselves Tropicavoodle, capturing that North Queensland tropical location and the fact that we were breeders of the beloved Poodle x King Charles Cavalier cross that is commonly referred to as the Cavoodle. We could no longer use cavoodle for our Kennel, due to Prefex rules, but we still wanted to capture that tropical aspect, as well as the essence of the cavoodle that classic teddybear aesthetic. Thus was born the name;
Tropicbear, Townsville's very own Tropical Teddy Bears. When you consider one of our pups, you are considering supporting one of many Ethical, & Responsible breeders who are breeding for temperament, health and purpose. At Tropicbear we are committed to upholding the values that Master Dog Breeders Association, and RightPaw.com.au have put in place, to set us apart from other ‘oodle breeders. Not only are our pups Cavoodles, but they are also participants in building our breeding line to match the standard for a breed in foundation, the aptly named “Theodore”. When you select an ethically bred puppy, you are receiving a quality pup, who is confident, free of genetic issues, lovingly raised with enrichment programs and much of the groundwork for toilet training, leash walking, and basic commands already started for you to build on. We follow the Puppy Culture program, with the Newborn to New Home expansion, including Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction. All so that we can to present to you an above standard pup to be your Furever Best Friend. |
There is nothing more important to MrBear and MrsBear (Ally & Mark) than family. Be they with 2 legs, or 4, their commitment knows no bounds. Having been married for over 20 years, they've seen their fair share of struggles & successes. They have raised their three sons who are now young adults, referred to as the JnrBears, and now care for Mark's mother, affectionally referred to as GrannyBear.
Breeding has always been their dream career, spending years as a foster of rescue animals with many a fail foster who became a permanent part of the family in the process. All the while deep diving the internet learning about ethical raising programs, responsible breeding practices, canine midwifery, and nutrition. |
Historically we were following the Puppy Culture method of raising our pups. This program is a tried and proven way of raising outstanding pups both in temperament and health. Originating in America, this program has been around since 1980s and is very popular amongst the ethical breeding circles.
Recently an Australian Theodore breeder has entered the ring, offering their valuable insight into raising puppies, and we have taken on their methods adding it to what we know and have learned raising our pups, and we are now proud to say we follow the methods of both. Whelp2Woof is an excellent program to follow, very intuitive and well supported with documents and video references. The more we learn, the more we can offer our puppies to become the best they can be. |
