Adopting a Puppy
PRICE STRUCTURE
In 2024, we have set our puppy prices at $3300 for a Labradoodle pup and $4400 for a Bernedoodle pup, irrespective of the colour or gender. Occasionally, we offer discounts for puppies that we predict will have shedding coats.
Upon being selected for our waitlist, there's a required deposit of $700. This deposit is then deducted from the total cost once you select your puppy. This fee is refundable (with the exception of a $100 administration fee) in the occurrence that you choose to come off of our list, for any reason.
While we have no immediate plans for a substantial price increase, we reserve the right to adjust the prices at our discretion. However, once you're on our waitlist, the quoted price remains constant.
WAITING TIMES
In obtaining a puppy, patience and adaptability are key. Breeding plans are laid out months prior, but the timing is ultimately determined by nature's course. Generally, female dogs come into season bi-annually, which means a breeding-ready period six months from their last cycle. But dogs often deviate from this timeline. Following successful breeding, it takes about 4 weeks to confirm a pregnancy and estimate the number of puppies. Dogs have a gestation period of 63 days (9 weeks), after which we care for the puppies for another 8-10 weeks before they are ready for their new homes. This sums up to a total of about 18 weeks from breeding to homing. We make sure to share timely updates, pictures, and videos with future owners, involving you in the journey from the start.
PUPPY SELECTION
We have implemented a new system where future owners choose their puppies on the day of pick-up. We aim to provide extensive information about every puppy. Each puppy undergoes temperament testing at 7 weeks, the results of which will be shared with you. On pick-up day, you will choose your puppy based on the order in which we received your waitlist fee. We then discuss each puppy's strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to find the perfect fit for your home.
The puppy picking process is scheduled on the go-home day, and it is dependent on your list order. We believe in honouring our puppies by giving them the chance to grow and develop, rather than deciding their futures at one or two weeks old. On the day of pick-up, we provide a timeslot for each family to pick their puppy. We assist you in choosing the right puppy, keeping you up-to-date with photos, videos, and detailed information about each puppy. The final choice is, of course, yours, but patience is key in this joyous and exciting journey of bringing home your new puppy.
