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. Filling in the Application Form is your first step to suitability and lets us know a little bit about yourselves and your lifestyle. If you prefer to email or telephone, that is fine.

In the first instance, on receipt of your first email enquiry/application or telephone call, we let you know when we anticipate our next litter. We also like to know 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.

OR EMAIL US

On condition that both parties are happy, we will add your contact details to our waiting list and ask for a deposit to show your 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 return 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 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, who by this time are microchipped so it is possible at this stage to choose your puppy. We encourage you to take photos/video clips of this special time.
	On collection, two-three weeks' later, 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 and historical photographs of your puppy's growth from birth to leaving home). 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. 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.
Links and Resources	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 a 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 book is something you can read before your puppy joins you at home, so you are more prepared. We also send you by email several resources regarding training that are very helpful and informative. Here are some more links to other helpful training resources:
