Current Litters
Updated March 10, 2010 : We are currently sold out of pups.
If you’d like to get on our waiting list for our 3 planned spring/summer litters, please email me. Those litters will have chocolate, yellow, white, cafe au lait, apricot, and possibly black pups.
This is Bristol at 6 months of age. She is an F1 Labradoodle out of Ava and chip. She is a good example of the type of pups this pair produces. She of course isn’t mature yet here, so her coat will continue to grow and fill out more. Bristol is non-shedding.
Please check below for details on deposits, and go to my Dams and stud page to see pictures of and information about the individual parents.
Basic info on our pups:
On my “Photos” page you will find many pictures of pups from previous litters to give you a good idea of the quality of Labradoodles we produce. All our dogs are standard size… They generally average out at 22″ and 65 lbs at maturity. We are breeding only F1 Labradoodles (Lab mothers x Poodle father). We expect to be able to offer chocolate, cafe au lait, cream, apricot, yellow and black pups.
To get on our waiting list:
If you want to to get on a list to be notified of our next litter, please email me. I plan to have 2 litters in spring/summer of 2010. I will contact you when the pregnancy is confirmed and again when puppies are born. There is no obligation to buy a pup from me even if you’re on the list. This just gives you a heads up in case you want to get a deposit in early on an upcoming litter.Obviously these pups are usually spoken for quite early, so this is the best way to be sure you don’t miss out.
Pricing
F1 pups sold as pets or working/service/therapy dogs will sell for $750 regardless of gender or color. I am confident my prices are well below what most charge for similar quality pups out of health tested parents. I network with quite a number of Labradoodle breeders and I do not know of another one in the US who offers the lifetime health guarantee that I do; but hope others will start. I am willing to consider selling pups to small breeders, provided conditions are right. The price of course will be more for breeding prospects since these too will be clear of so many genetic defects and will be guaranteed as such.
Deposits:
Your $250 non-refundable deposit will hold your place to have choice of the litter. First deposit, first choice; second deposit, second choice… etc. All deposits are applied toward the purchase price of your pup. I can accept Pay Pal deposits or checks by mail, but must add a 3% service charge to each PayPal payment, since that is what they charge me. If you go to my “contact us” page you will find a button that says “PAY NOW” that’s linked to PayPal for the correct amount to make your deposit. Please contact me prior to making a deposit to be sure we still have pups available to reserve.
I don’t accept deposits prior to confirmation of pregnancy, and then only a limited number (4) until we know for sure how many pups we will actually have. Balance to be paid in CASH only when you pick up your pup. Any pups left here a week beyond purchase and 8 week availability date will be charged a $10 per day fee for boarding. All pups must be paid for at the age of 8 weeks or will be put back on the market and your deposit forfeited.
Any pups reserved by deposit will be chosen according to buyers criteria prior to the pups 5th week of life. I do everything I can to help you choose the right pup for your needs and desires. I will suggest pups that I feel fit your family and leave the final choice up to you. Temperament, personality, activity level, gender, size, and color all measure in. The more detailed idea you can give me about what you would like, the better chance I have at helping you choose the right pup.
Shipping and pick-up:
I have not shipped any pups in cargo, and would prefer not to for the sake of the puppies. I have however had buyers fly to a nearby airport and pick up the pup and fly back with them in a crate at their feet. My prices are low enough that for many around the country this is an option to consider when comparing to the price in many other places. I prefer to meet people who are buying my pups, so encourage all my buyers to come in person and bring the family when possible. My pups are precious to me, and I want to know who they’re going to as much as you want to know where they’re coming from! So please plan to come pick them up and spend a bit of time getting to know me and my parent dogs. This is a long term commitment, so let’s be sure we’re both happy with everything before we rush into anything.
Puppy vaccine timeline
We have set our vaccination schedule on the advice of our vet. We give a 7-way shot at 6 and 8 weeks of age. Any pups here longer will be wormed and vaccinated according to schedule so that they are always up to date on everything. This shot covers Canine distemper; adenovirus type 2; parainfluenza; parvovirus; leptospira canicola; Icterohaemorrhagiae bacterin. We feel this gives them the best possible start to building a good healthy future. We still encourage you to give one more dose at 12 weeks and a rabies vaccine at 16 weeks. You should also consult with your vet as to whether you should consider a Lymes vaccine based on the area in which you live. Just before our pups leave us, they’re given a shot of Ivermectin which is a broad spectrum anti-parasitic; meaning it kills internal worms, as well as external ones such as fleas/ticks/mites. Your pup should not need any other wormers for a month.
