Adopting a Kirkton Labradoodle

Pricing

To find out pricing, please contact us by emailing us at kirkton2@bigpond.com.

All our pups come with a 3 year heath guarantee against hereditary heath problems. We will refund up to the purchase price if your puppy develops any genetic problems in the first 3 years. Please click the link below to view a copy of our guarantee/contract.

We like to provide our families with some notes on what to expect the first night, basic training and grooming etc.

Waiting List

If you have decided that you wish to be placed on our waiting list for one of our up-coming litters, the next step is to send us an e-mail with the type of puppy you would like eg. colour and coat and from which litter. Once this is done we will place you on a waiting list and keep you updated with news on due dates etc. We will accept deposits of $300 when you complete an order form usually after the pups are born and we are sure we have a pup that suits your requirements.

When the pups get to 6 weeks of age and have passed a health check by our vet, puppy allocations/ selections are made in consultation with the families. The allocations/ selections are done based in order of waiting list (paying a deposit when the pups are born will secure this position on the list). If you commit to a pup at this stage the deposit becomes non-refundable.

Please note all our breeding dogs live in carer families so are not available for viewing on a daily basis.

The labradoodle mothers come and live with us to have and raise their litters and then return to their families.

Watch your Puppy Grow

You are able to watch your puppy grow via pictures that are updated regularly on our website or Instagram. We also post video snippets and extra photo’s on our facebook page. Once allocation time arrives we will arrange appointments for families to visit and meet their puppy, we will also spend time discussing any questions you may have.

Pick Up

If you live locally or are able to pick the pup up in person, your pup will be ready at 8 weeks of age.

Pups travelling interstate can travel from 8 weeks of age. The cost of shipping the pup is the buyers responsibility.

We request the balance payment for your pup be made 3-5 working days prior to shipping.

Microchip Certificate: All our pups are microchipped when they are desexed and are registered with the PetSafe network.

Desexing Certificate: All our pet puppies are de-sexed at around 7 weeks of age. We feel very strongly about the benefits of early desexing of our pet quality puppies, and feel it is a necessary step to take to protect the quality and genetic health of the Australian Labradoodle. We have the support of a wonderful Veterinary team (whom I have been with for many years) who work with us to make de-sexing as least stressful as possible to the pups. All pups to be desexed in a litter travel together to the vet and are kept in two’s or threes while there. They are done shortly after arriving and we collect them shortly after they are awake. They all recover very quickly from the surgery (much faster than dog that are 6 months or older) and are fully healed before they go to their new homes.
