RAISED WITH KINDNESS
Breeder Wendy works alongside reproduction vets, reward based dog trainers and gentle groomers to support all stages of our puppies development in their new homes.
ABOUT PITTER PATTER CAVOODLES
We are situated in the peaceful North-East suburbs of Adelaide, where we raise our puppies as cherished members of our family in our home.
Our mothers are provided with a special indoor whelping area, offering a serene and regulated environment for the mother and her puppies during the birthing process and the critical initial weeks of life.
As the puppies grow and learn to walk, they move to a dedicated indoor play area where they can explore various play equipment and start their early training. This area allows them to experience the sounds of daily household activities. In good weather, the puppies also get the chance to enjoy our secure backyard with a beautiful cottage garden.
We believe in early gentle training for our puppies, which includes early socialization, Early Neurological stimulation (ENS), Early scent Introduction (ESI), and toilet training. Our socialisation program incorporates fundamentals from Puppy Culture, Badass Breeder, and is backed by science. By the age of 8 weeks, most puppies are confidently doing their business on the grass and can sleep through the night with their litter mates.
When prospective owners come to meet their puppies, we encourage them to bring along a crate and an item of clothing that carries their scent. This helps the puppy become familiar with their new owner's scent and feel safe and secure when they travel home.

Wendy
Breeder
Hi, I’m Wendy!
I’ve been passionate about animals and the natural world for as long as I can remember. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, not just for their affection and sweet puppy-dog-eyes, but for the extraordinary way dogs and humans enrich each other’s lives through their deep connection- A unique bond that has evolved over tens of thousands of years!
Driven by this passion, I pursued a postgraduate degree, with a focus on animal behaviour and fostering healthy cross-species relationships. This journey deepened my understanding of the natural world and how we can nurture meaningful connections between humans and animals.
My career began with over a decade of experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, supporting countless animals in need. This led me to adopt my own rescue dog, giving him a second chance at life. Driven by this passion, I transitioned to the dog industry full-time, gaining experience as a groomer, caretaker, trainer and advisor. At the RSPCA, I had the privilege of matching countless people with their perfect pets. In addition to my work with dogs, I am an artist and a qualified graphic designer, specializing in creating beautiful pet portraits that allow owners to celebrate and cherish their beloved companions.
I am honoured to be a dog breeder and trainer, dedicated to giving puppies the best possible start and supporting owners in providing their puppies with the life they deserve. Using gentle, research-backed techniques developed by industry leaders, I raise each puppy with love and care, helping them grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs with the potential to become therapy or wellbeing companions.
