Commitment to the Breed
I will help and support my fellow breeders in collaboration for the benefit of the Labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle Breeds.
I will mentor new breeders that purchase breeding stock from me. I will speak truthfully and respectfully about fellow breeders and their animals at all times.
I hold a current breeding license from our local council (Herefordshire N-Dogs21).
I am fully insured.
I ensure all dogs in our programme are properly housed, fed, have access to water, be provided with exercise and mental stimulation and receive all necessary veterinary care.
I ensure all our dogs have the appropriate vaccinations and veterinary attention when required.
All dogs coats are kept in a healthy matt free condition.
I will breed with the soundness of the Labradoodle or Australian Labradoodle in mind.
I will respect basic principles related to maximizing genetic diversity to maintain the health of the breed.
I only bred from dogs with good temperaments.
I will not breed any dog that is not mentally and physically mature.
I will carry out the basic line of health testing on every breeding dog, as a minimum, hips, elbows, DNA tests must be clear on at least one of the breeding dogs from each pairing to include, VWD, PRA, IC, DM and EIC.
Commitment to our Purchasers
I will not misrepresent the qualities of the Labradoodle or Australian Labradoodle, including any guarantee of allergy-friendliness.
I will ensure that all pups who are born or live with me will be properly cared for, vaccinated, wormed, and raised in a healthy environment where they are physically, mentally, and socially stimulated.
Our puppies are born and socialised within the family unit, mixing from an early age with our young children and other pets.
There is No way of Guaranteeing the exact size of Your Labradoodle when fully grown.
I cannot Guarantee 100% that Your Labradoodle will not shed their coat, or their coat will not fade/Lighten.
I will not be held Responsible for any Allergic Reaction that one may experience or develop. It is the responsibility of the Puppy Purchaser to seek an Allergy Specialist's advice Prior to Reserving a Puppy.
All potential puppy owners will be interviewed/assessed suitable to ensure the best possible homes.
View and collection dates are given once the litter arrives.
I am not able to change the allocated viewing day for people who cannot attend.
I have to arrange people in the order they reserved, if you cannot make the viewing day we can video call as an alternative.
I do not release our puppies to their new homes before 8 weeks of age.
Puppies that cannot be collected on collection day will incur a charge of £10 a day until collected.
All puppies born will be microchipped prior to going to their new homes.
Puppies are sold as Pets Only.
When you visit your puppy you will meet Mum and you may also meet the sire when possible, and of course the puppies.
I provide written instructions on all dietary, worming, and immunisation requirements and offer 4 weeks free insurance with each puppy.
I provide all new puppy owners with a written contract outlining your requirements including regarding spaying and neutering if not already neutered.
Puppies must be spayed or neutered by 6 months old.
Breeding Stock is available for any responsible experienced person/persons wanting to breed they will be expected to enter into a different contract and different rules apply.
I will only sell dogs to homes that can offer happy healthy lives and responsible ownership to our puppies and will help with re-homing should circumstances change.
The deposit is refundable ONLY if we fail to provide you with a puppy that you requested on your reserve form.
I reserve the right to decline selling a puppy/adult dog to a prospective new owner for whatever reason.
I offer an after-care service, for as long as you and your new puppies need us.
