Additional Tests

Genetic Test
Canine Elliptocytosis is a rare genetic disease causing the red blood cells to be abnormally elliptical in shape, rather than round. It generally does not cause a clinical problem to affected dogs, but puppies may be mildly anaemic and smaller than others. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
Congenital Macrothrombocytopenia (CM) is a mild disease which normally does not have any impact on an affected dog’s health or lifespan but can cause concern if noticed on routine bloodwork without knowing the cause. It is a blood disease resulting in low numbers of very large platelets. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
This is a genetic neurological condition affecting Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. It causes sudden stiffening of the legs, often causing the dog to fall over and be unable to move. There is a DNA test available to indicate if a breeding dog is carrying this disease. The test is also recommended in Cavoodles.
Physical Test
An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).
Physical Test
These breeders have had x-rays taken on their breeding dogs to assess their ‘hip score’. Dogs with low hip scores have better hips and are less likely to develop problems in the future. Most large and medium sized dog breeds benefit from hip scoring to ensure they are unlikely to pass hereditary hip problems on to their puppies.
Genetic Test
Mucopolysaccharidosis is a genetic lysosomal storage disease that can cause various problems including stunted growth and bone deformities. There are a few different variants of this disease that have been identified in different breeds. For many breeds there are DNA tests available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying the condition.
Genetic Test
Neonatal Encephalopathy (NE) is a brain disease that can occur in Standard Poodle puppies. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in dogs is a type of genetic eye disease causing deterioration of the retina and eventually, blindness. There are a variety of sub-types of PRA, which can occur in various breeds. There are various DNA tests available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Von Willebrand’s Disease (VWD/vWD) is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a lack of a specific clotting factor. There are three forms of the disease, types 1, 2 & 3. A DNA test is available for each type of VWD to identify whether a breeding dog is a carrier or might be affected. The severity of VWD varies widely between breeds and individuals, ranging from life threatening, through to having no impact on clotting ability.
About the breeder
A little about us
Hi, I'm Nikki from Loveable Cavoodles & Moodles Pty Ltd! I'm a mother of 5 - my eldest is 16 yrs old and the youngest is 7 yrs old. In this time we have had our highs and lows and like many large families we have our own unique story. Four of our sons are diagnosed on the Autism spectrum, and our dogs are a huge part of their therapy providing them with unconditional love and and friendship on a daily basis. Our puppies are raised with countless love from all of us, including our boys, our children are extremely gentle and have grown with puppies from a young age. They are very aware of handling and caring for young puppies, pregnant mothers and adult dogs. I started my breeding journey 9 years ago - we are a small breeding family. In this time, I have completed my Certificate 3 in Animal Studies along with a bronze certificate in Pet Nutrition. In 2018 came the decision to become a pet groomer, along with my sister Miranda who also has the love and passion I do for dogs and breeding. I continue to grow and learn everyday, and I can easily get lost for hours researching and reading. I’m blessed with this amazing gift and so thankful I'm able to share it with others. Healing hearts and saving lives through the power of a dog!
Why we got involved in breeding
My love of dogs! 🐾 What started off as one litter has developed into an amazing journey that I’m forever thankful for, especially as I’ve meet such a beautiful community of breeders along the way.
Our special touch

Heath, well-being and temperament of our dogs and puppies is our top priority. Educating what responsible and ethical breeding is and what it looks likes.

Flowers that will bloom and become heart healers, life changers. We are building pups that know the world is safe, people are kind, and dogs are friendly, and that is essential to our program. I’m so honoured to be given this gift of bringing life into this world raising puppies and spreading my love, I thank every single past, present and future families for continuing to support and trust my program you all allow me to keep doing where I know my heart belongs.
