Our Puppy Reserving Policy
|
To join our waiting list ...
|
We find that many people wish to
place their names on a waiting list with us in order to secure a
Labradoodle Puppy. This works well with us because we are
able to establish a rapport with our new customers right from
the start - before the puppies are born, until the day you
collect your new puppy. We realise that buying a new puppy
can be a daunting prospect and we therefore aim to make your
contact with us as informative and helpful as we can. A
great place to start is to CLICK on our Application Button which
will take you to a simple form where you can tell us a little
bit about yourselves and your kind of lifestyle.
We ask that you carry out as much research as possible before
making a commitment, and feel free to visit our
Links Page and the
Health
Testing page on the UK Doodle Club Website for further
information regarding the Health Testings we carry out on our
Adult Dogs.

In the first instance, on
receipt of your Application/email enquiry or telephone call, we let you know when we
anticipate our next litter. We also like to know a little
bit about your lifestyle (ie what your
family and work commitments are) and if you have done any
research into the Breed. We like to be satisfied that you
are ready for a new commitment and that you have the necessary
space and protection in your garden to accommodate safe play and
training a new puppy. Feel free to telephone at any
stage. We ask that you read through our Code of Ethics and make sure that you agree to them BEFORE reserving a puppy from us. Deposits are non-refundable should you not agree to the COE AFTER reservations have been accepted. |
|
OR EMAIL US |
On condition that both parties are happy, we will add your name to our waiting list and ask for a deposit to show your genuine commitment to us. We email you regularly to let you know how the pregnancy is developing and of course when the great day (or night!) arrives and the puppies are born. Once the puppies are born we let you know what we have and if we are unable to supply the sex or colour of puppy you desire, then we refund your deposit straight away. We reserve the right to withdraw a sale if we feel that the applicant is unsuitable in anyway. |
|
We look forward to hearing from you. |
The new puppies and their Mum
are then kept quiet, warm and clean in a specially adapted
whelping room within the family home, where their every need is
catered for. We email photographs of their development
every week for you to see how the litter is progressing and we
involve you as much as we can by letting you know when they open
their eyes, take their first steps and eat their first solid meal. At 6 weeks old the puppies are socialised,
robust and independent and Mum is relaxed enough to cope
with visitors. It is at this time that we hold our
'viewing weekend' when we invite our special customers to come and meet us, Mum
and her puppies. I am a qualified Microchip Implanter (Petlog)
and so our puppies are always microchipped at 6 weeks of age,
making them easily identifiable. We encourage you to bring
any toys or blankets for your puppy and also take photos/video clips of this special time.
Please note that we have very strict hygiene standards and treat our bio-security extremely seriously, so we ask ALL visitors to wear protective footwear and gloves while inside our home (which we provide for you). |

Not sure what to get for your puppy? Need some help in getting started? We can order you the Basics to get you started - please enquire for prices.
These items can be pre-ordered to arrive at Doodledoos in time for the viewing day or for the puppy collection day, whichever you prefer!
|
On collection,
we hand over all relevant paper work (including a puppy sales
contract, worming/flea records, 4 weeks free insurance, dietary,
training/ socialisation and exercise advice, together with a
full veterinary health check certificate, vaccination record and
microchip forms).
Also included in our comprehensive puppy pack are some helpful diet products, our own fresh drinking water to help your puppy's tummy adjust, a new collar and lead and some puppy treats. Should you require us to get you started with our helpful Puppy Packs - see Left for more details and enquire by telephone/email for prices. All our puppies are vaccinated at 7 weeks of age and spayed and neutered at 8.5 weeks of age. Puppies leave us for their new homes at approximately 9-10 weeks of age and sometimes, in special circumstances, we carry out the second and final vaccination for customers if their puppies are still with us at 10 weeks. We also like to initiate basic training commands. We offer advice for as long as you need it and enjoy hearing from you at any stage after you have taken the puppy home. Photographs and your news are received with enormous pleasure.

We
encourage everyone to research not only the Labradoodle breed
thoroughly before embarking on your journey to find the
right puppy, but also to read up as much as you can about
welcoming any new puppy into your home. When you reserve a puppy from Doodledoos, we send you an e-book about the Labradoodle which covers just about everything you need to know about the breed and how to look after your puppy when you take him home. We give you details notes regarding health, diet, exercise and training on collecting your puppy, but the e-book is something you can read before your puppy joins you at home, so you are more prepared and have confidence. We also send you by email several resources regarding training that are very helpful and informative. Our Puppy Sales Contract is geared to giving you peace of mind that your puppy is given the best start in life, but it's also in place for our peace of mind too, that our buyers promise to take care of their new puppy in a suitable manner - such as taking the advice of the breeder with regards to training and day to day care, as well as keeping regular veterinary appointments for annual boosters/flea/worming applications. If we feel at any stage that a person is not sufficiently at ease with any part of our Contract of Sale prior to collecting their puppy, then we reserve the right to withdraw from the Sale until such time as everyone feels happy and confident.
