WE RETIRED OUR BREEDING PROGRAM AT THE END OF 2023 – NO FUTURE LITTERS PLANNED

For information about our Australian Labradoodle puppies and fees, adoption process, health contract, and visiting our puppies and home, please visit the following pages of our website:  

ADOPTION INFO & FEES     &    VISITATION POLICY

***Reservation & Resource fee: This fee covers the processing of your application, our time communicating, and answering questions during the waiting period. We encourage you to make sure you are certain you are willing and ready to wait for a puppy from us, should you reserve with us. Please read our full Reservation & Resource fee policy on the page linked to above.

We will do our best to estimate adult size expected, coat type, and color, but these are living creatures and sometimes surprises happen and a pup may mature a little smaller or larger than expected, or color may lighten or fade.  Please understand we do the best we can to provide accurate estimates based on our experience, but we cannot make a 100% guarantee of an exact size or shade of color.

Please view photos on Our Girls and Our Boys pages of the website to see parent colors and expected colors in the litter.

Please read about our process below or on the ADOPTION INFO & FEES page.

CURRENT LITTERS :
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

Submit an application to be reviewed. We will provide an estimated time frame for when you can expect to receive a puppy. This is an estimate only as heat cycles can vary and availability in a litter will depend on the physical qualities you have requested.

Submit the deposit. Prepare your home and yard for bringing a puppy home. Assess yard and home for poisonous plants and remove or provide proper protection around them. Purchase basic puppy care items. Review proper puppy handling with your children. Interview potential trainers and veterinarians.

Watch our Puppies & Litters page of the website for updates to timing of litters. As soon as a litter is bred we will update that page with the exact due date expected. Puppies go home 8 weeks after a litter is born. Once a litter is confirmed by ultrasound, we will notify the next 5 families on the list that a litter is due and provide them the specific details of color and size that are expected. If the litter or timing is not of interest, the family can continue waiting for the next litter. If you have not been provided information on a confirmed litter, then your position on the reservation list has not come up in line yet.

Remember the original time frame provided for puppy availability. If there is anything to communicate about a change in the timing we originally communicated to you, we will reach out and let you know immediately. If a puppy comes available sooner than expected and you are next in line on the reservation list, you will be notified right away. It is not uncommon for someone to be told the wait will be 6-8 months, then two months later they email asking if they will be getting a puppy in the next month or two. We realize waiting is hard, but our estimates are fairly accurate and we will absolutely communicate any change to expected timing, if there is something to communicate.

Puppy birth announcement! After you have been notified of an upcoming litter, the next step is waiting for the puppy birth announcement. We will send this out as soon as a litter is born with all the specific details. Colors, gender, birthdate, scheduled dates for picking up puppies later, and documents on how to prepare. These are your final weeks to finish preparing, order puppy food and vitamins, schedule initial vet visits, and make sure you have a vet lined up to sterilize puppy by 8 months of age.

Preparing for puppy! While you are waiting for your puppy and receiving litter updates, now is the time to finalize all your preparations. One important detail is knowing how to train. We highly recommend that each family purchase this incredible training book that has well written instructions, great photos, and wonderful QR codes you scan with your phone to pull up demo videos to assist you in knowing how to train that particular skill. No other training resource provides this much for such a little fee! The training book is available on Amazon at PRACTICAL PUPPY TRAINING BOOTCAMP

 

***Please read our reservation/consultation deposit fee policy before submitting an application and deposit.

Important Books To Read Before Adopting A Labradoodle Puppy

We ask that every family adopting an Australian Labradoodle puppy from us read two very helpful and important books. They will make a tremendous difference in the adjustment and assimilation of a puppy into your home. Many people have a false idea of how they should handle dogs, or what they respond to. Most dog issues are really issues with people, not with the dogs. Please read:
