Current Litters
Updated July 29, 2010 : We have 3 litters right now, including several chocolates, which are a bit harder to find. 1 pup is ready to take home today, 4 are left to reserve that will leave me Sept 9th.
Dazy has 1 boy left that is 8 weeks old, so is ready for a new home. He is very handsome and well socialized, and is a smaller dark apricot with adorable white toes.
Ava has pups born June 24th; all chocolate/cafe au lait. Ready to leave her August 19th. This entire litter is reserved.
Hickory had her litter July 14th with 3 chocolate (2 girls, 1 boy), and 3 yellow (2 boys, 1 girl) pups. She always has small but beautiful litters. They will be ready to leave her Sept 9. Only two deposits so far on this litter (both want yellow pups). Of all my girls, over the past 4 years Hickory is the one who has had the most pups bought as therapy dog prospects. They have fantastic temperaments and are very eager to please.
I am inviting appointments for anyone who would like to see the pups and their parents. With 3 litters to care for, I am not planning to go anywhere unnecessary for a while, so can be very flexible on visits.
Three litters is all we have per year, so now is the time to step up if you are interested in a TinkerDoodle pup.
I am accepting deposits to reserve pups from these litters. Read below about our deposit policy.
Please find more info about each of the parents on my Dams and Studs page.
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 F1 Labradoodle pups for sale. If you would like to see an example of a cafe au lait dog, please look at Chip, the stud on my Dams and Stud page.He is a great example of it and passes it on to some of his 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 3 litters in spring/summer of 2010 and no fall/winter litters. Iwill have 3 litters again at the same time next year. I will contact you when a 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. 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. It can be my way of helping to get more breeders DNA testing their pups since mine will all be cleared by parentage. The price of course will be more for breeding prospects.
Deposits: I am currently accepting deposits on each of the three 2010 litters, so have spaces open yet.
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.
Each depositor will be given a number in the order in which their deposit was received, and will have choice in that same order from all 3 of the litters. If you opt out from the first litter, you will have the same chance from the second litter. 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.
