Check out our website! Mom and Dad are there.
Hi! Hope y’all are doing well today! We want to go on a vacation! We will go just as soon as we can find homes for our puppies. If you are looking for a puppy give us a call! We have ways to make this happen for you!
Petunia and Willow are looking for their forever homes. Petunia is looking for a guardian home, she is the cream puppy. “P” as we call her, will be a standard ALD, but on the smaller side. Give us a call if you are interested! Willow will be a full-sized standard. P is outgoing and wants attention whereas Willow is more laid back. However, they both love to tear around in the backyard and play in the small wading pool. The priority in our breeding program is health and temperament.
We are members of the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association and adhere to their code of ethics and breeding requirements! They are true multigenerational ALDs with predictable temperaments and no known health issues.
Note: There are no upfront costs for guardian home! Breeding costs are ours. General medical costs, i.e. vaccinations and yearly health check-ups, as well as general maintenance costs, are the responsibility of the guardian home. Please take a look at all the particulars on our website under the tab Availability & Forms.

It's sweet when they sleep! Thank goodness at 2 weeks they were sleeping a lot. Now they are getting to the fun age. They are starting to play and argue with each other. I have 3 week pictures but I've lost them somewhere! I found one!! Zac, my grandson still loves to nap with puppies!

I copied this from Googles' People Ask .....
Is OFA or PennHIP better?
PennHip radiographs can be performed on puppies as early as 16 weeks of age. PennHip radiographs, with their calculated distraction index, are more objective than OFA radiographs, which are graded on a subjective scale. PennHip radiographs are more sensitive for detecting hip dysplasia than OFA radiographs.

Pros and Cons of PennHip and OFA Hip Radiographs: Review for Vet Students

There are two methods commonly used to evaluate the hips of young dogs: PennHip radiographs and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) hip radiographs.

I just received this from another breeder and thought I might share it.
POTENTIAL OWNER: How much is the puppy?
BREEDER: $3000+ dollars.
POTENTIAL OWNER: What?? It's way too expensive!!
BREEDER: What do you think would be a good price?
POTENTIAL OWNER: No more than $500. You reputable breeders are so overpriced.
BREEDER: I am sorry you see it this way, why don't you try it yourself?
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I've never done it!
BREEDER: For FREE I can teach you how to do it, and in addition, you will have the knowledge to do it again.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Perfect, thank you!
BREEDER: To start you will need a female (average cost $15,000 and up) and a male (average cost $10,000 and up) or semen (average $1200 and up). You will need to do genetic & health testing on them, which averages about $800+ per dog. Let's not forget progesterone testings, inseminations, ultrasounds, x-rays, semen collections, semen analysis, potentially semen overnight shipping, and so on ($1500+). Raise and provide daily care, feeding & grooming for 2 years. (minimal $250 per month) Oh, don’t forget monthly prevention, annual vet visits, and any other additional vet visits.
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have that much money...
BREEDER: For $1200 you can raise a litter and then keep one of the puppies. Obviously, you will pay the cost of whelping & care.
POTENTIAL OWNER: I can do that.
BREEDER: OK so I have a female due to whelp in 2 weeks. You will need to be available 24/7 around the clock for at least 10 weeks to help with delivery and care. ( a million loads of laundry) Another 4-plus weeks to monitor mom and puppies.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Fourteen weeks?? it's way too much time for me! I have to work.
BREEDER: Plus You will need to be available for puppy families to call you 24/7 with a worry or concern no matter the age. You Must also be ready to take back the puppy/dog at any age if the family has an unforeseen emergency.
BREEDER: You will also need the reproductive vet to do progesterone testing($110/ test ) & C-section($1000-$5000) and initial vet care on pups until old enough to be placed ($800+).
Have on hand a scale, thermometer, latex gloves, puppy pads, incubator, oxygen concentrator, nebulizer, heating lamp, whelping box, puppy pen, blankets, toys, bowls, cleaning supplies, appropriate food with supplements for mothers, formula, medications & hand feeding supplies in case of emergency....
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have all these things!
BREEDER: For $5000+ you can buy them.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Ummm .... You know, I think it might be better if I just buy a puppy.
BREEDER: Wise decision.
For us, there are few vacations or holidays. While you go to visit with family & friends we are home at our dogs side caring for them. It is a no breaks commitment.
THIS IS THE REALITY
When you choose a reputable person, you aren’t only purchasing the puppy but also: knowledge, support , experience, love, time, sacrifices, etc...
**Plus the cost of lifetime support to the puppy owners…
These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg (best case scenario!!!) as a reputable breeder who takes on this journey full time!

Very well said…
