Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare but aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow in dogs. While most breeders and families will never encounter it, knowing the early warning signs — such as sudden fatigue, pale gums, unexplained bruising, or persistent fevers — can help ensure prompt veterinary care. Because AML is usually a spontaneous, non-hereditary disease, responsible breeders focus on clear recordkeeping, open communication with puppy families, and compassionate support if a case ever arises.

Is Your Doodle Limping? It Might Be Growing Pains. If your playful pup suddenly seems sore or limps from one leg to another, it could be Panosteitis—often called “growing pains.” This common, temporary condition affects large-breed puppies like Goldendoodles and Golden Mountain Doodles during rapid growth. While it can look scary, Panosteitis usually resolves on its own with rest and proper care. At Stokeshire, we’re here to help you support your growing pup every step of the way.
