Disclaimer:
My #1 goal is to make this entire process easy, so please do not be difficult. Aside from being a breeder I am also a Mother and do not have time to waste reviewing applications, tracking down emails, just to get ghosted. This has happened one too many times. Which is why I have a FAQ section below. Almost all questions should be answered below. Pricing for litters can also be found on the upcoming litters page. I've had people fill out applications without even bothering to review information regarding the prices on the upcoming litters and will still ask a price of a litter, then I get ghosted. I am open with displaying our prices. I do not hide or surprise you later with a price. So again, DO NOT apply if you are not ready, period. I do not want to waste your time, but I do not want my time wasted as well. I am plenty of people who are serious about getting a puppy and willing to go through and trust the process. If that is not you, then please do not apply. Only reach out if you are TRULY interested in getting one of our puppies. Thank you for understanding.
FAQ's
How do we reserve a puppy?
Fill out an application to start the process. Once reviewed and approved we will set up a call or chat via email to answer any question you may have and make sure we are the breeder for you! Next step it to place a non-refundable reservation fee which will place you on our Master Waitlist. As a litter is planned we will work our way down the list and ask families if they'd like to be placed on an upcoming litter if timing works out. Average weight can be anywhere from 6-9 months. If you are wanting a puppy now, then we are not the breeder for you. Bringing puppies into the world in a responsible and ethical way takes time and patience. Thank you for understanding.
How do you raise your puppies?
Please visit "Our Program" page which will go into detail how we raise our puppies.
Where do you raise your puppies?
We have a room dedicated to whelping puppies in our home right next to our bedroom. The puppies spend the first 3 weeks in the whelping box and once they begin walking around a bit better we begin to move them to our living room/kitchen where they are able to see the everyday things that happen in a normal household. When weather permits as well puppies have a huge play area outside where they can get some supervised play time to get Vitamin D and romp around.
What types of doodles do you breed?
We breed multigenerational Double doodles, which are a cross between a Goldendoodle and a Labradoodle. We use Australian labradoodles for our litters. We have found that the cross produces the perfect size pups with great temperaments and the most consistent/softest coats. Plus they have amazing personalities to match.
**Please keep in mind that with the name "Australian" does not mean that there is any Australian shepherd of any kind. The Australian Labradoodle originated in Australia.
Selection Process
Puppies are chosen in the order reservations are received. On the upcoming litters page I will post the order of selection.
Around 6-7 weeks we will do our puppy evaluations - we will send families the information regarding the puppies personalities/temperaments for review. We do our best to highlight the pups over Instagram, so by the time selection day is here you will have a few choices in mind already. Families will choose via Facetime and be given a 45 minute window to choose. We will do our best to describe them to you. Keep in mind we have a list of families, and it is unfair to keep others waiting for an excessive amount of time, so we ask that you choose in a timely manner. If you are unable to choose then you will forfeit your spot on the list and the next family will be given the opportunity to choose next.
When is final payment due?
Final payment is due by 5 weeks of age. We accept payments via Zelle, Venmo, or mailed check.
Pricing
Our pet price for our puppies range from $4000-$4500 dependent on size/markings/generation. Pricing for our litters can be found on our upcoming litters page. Below each pairing you will find info regarding litter, generation, size, and price.
Gotcha day/Puppy pick ups
I will email families the week of with pick up times and my address. Puppy pick ups will take place on the weekend closest to when the pups are 8 weeks old and is usually broken up between Saturday and Sunday in the morning. We do morning picks ups, so that pups have the remainder of the day to settle.
*If you cannot pick up your weekend on the scheduled weekend then a fee of $35/day will apply for additional boarding, which does not include additional vaccines and/or food.
What if I can't come to CA to pick up my puppy?
Not a problem at all! We work with amazing flight nannies that will deliver your pup to your local airport. Please keep in mind a fee will apply, which consists of a ticket for the flight nanny, puppy ticket (one way) and an additional fee directly to the flight nanny for her services. Contact us for more info! We will do whatever we can to get your pup to you!
If you would like to fly in to one our closest airports; Oakland or Sacramento - we are more than happy to meet you there as well.

We offer a offer a 1 year health guarantee against any life threatening congenital disease or defects.
Are your parents health tested?
Absolutely, our parents are fully health tested parents (Genetic testing as well as OFA hips, elbows, patella, heart, and eyes)
Do you spay and neuter your puppies before leaving?
No, we do not. Dogs need proper time to develop and grow properly. They are sold as pets only and are to be spayed/neutered by 9 months of age and a copy of the certificate must be emailed to us within 7 days of turning 9 months old.
Do you allow breeding rights?
Our puppies are sold as pets on a strict spay/neuter clause. On a case by case basis we may consider breeding rights to APPROVED PROGRAMS only. An additional fee will apply which is about double the pet price. Our dogs are not allowed to be bred without our knowledge and if it is found that they are then we will pursue legal action.
