Adoption Process
What To Expect.....
The adoption fee for our Mini Aussiedoodle puppies and our Mini Aussie Mountain Doodle puppies vary! Please reach out to us for pricing! Once you are ready to be placed on our reservations list, we will accept a $500 non-refundable reservation fee. The remainder is due in full when puppies are 6 weeks old. Puppy picks are done at 6 weeks old.
All reservation fees are placed on the litter you request. Each time we have a litter, we start at the top of the list and go down the list for puppy pick in order of reservation received. We do our best to assist you in picking the right puppy for your family. You have the choice to move to the next litter if you prefer. We cannot guarantee pregnancy, timing of pregnancies, number of puppies born for each litter, gender, or color. Mother Nature is in charge of these things. The breeder reserves the right to the first 2 puppy picks from each litter. We also reserve the right to refuse to sell a puppy/dog to any person at any time, for any reason. All of our puppies are sold on a strict spay/neuter contract.
A bit about our program:
Our breeding program is centered around producing healthy, intelligent, structurally correct conformation, well-tempered dogs. We do not operate a facility. All of our puppies are raised in our home. We actively socialize the puppies on a daily basis. We participate in early sensory development stimulation exercises with the puppies starting at day 3. Here is a YouTube video of the exercises being completed on puppies: [Bio-Sensory Link]. We also raise our puppies using the Puppy Culture protocols.
The puppies go for their first well-baby checkup at week 6, where they are evaluated by our vet and a fecal check is done. In efforts to keep our puppies safe and minimize exposure to outside germs and bacteria, we limit visitations to the families on our reservations list.
We have a very active household and have friends and family here as the puppies are being socialized. Our puppies are very well socialized by children and adults. The more we can expose our puppies to in a safe, clean environment, the better the puppy/dog will be when you take them home.
If you like us on Facebook, you will have the opportunity to get to know our dogs and will have access to the most up-to-date information and puppy photos.
Puppy selection process:
Families will get to pick their puppy in the order of reservation fee received at approximately 6-7 weeks of age.
Testing:
All of our puppies are adopted at 8-9 weeks of age and have the following:
1st round of immunizations
De-wormings: 2, 4, 6 & 8 weeks of age
Fecal exam by vet at week 6
Micro-chipped
30-day puppy insurance
Trained using Puppy Culture protocols. Very well socialized and loved by small children and adults, as well as other dogs that live with me.
We start crate training at the age of 6 weeks.
We also start the potty training process at week three. When our puppies go home, they are usually 80% potty trained for alfalfa pellets, which makes the next step in potty training super easy. I highly recommend getting potty bells for the door and using potty bells as it will make your life so much easier in the long run.
We offer a one-year health guarantee on all of our puppies.
Guarantee Breeder Agrees:
Breeder guarantees that the puppy has had proper care to date and has been checked by a veterinarian. Puppy has received its first shots and has been de-wormed. Health records have been provided. It is advisable to take your new puppy to the vet immediately for a well-baby exam. If within 72 hours of receiving the puppy, he/she is examined by a reputable veterinarian and the health of the puppy is found to be at serious risk of euthanasia or death due to a congenital defect (existing at birth), the owner shall notify the breeder and provide a written statement from a licensed vet describing the puppy's condition and shall return the puppy and papers to the breeder within three days of the examination. The breeder will replace the puppy with the next available puppy from another litter of similar quality or refund the full price of the puppy minus training fees, provided the puppy is in the same condition mentally and physically as when it was originally purchased. This does not include worms, fleas, mites, coccidiosis, giardia, or any other parasites, as they are common in dogs and puppies. This also does not include any bite issues or undescended testicles. The breeder assumes no responsibility for veterinarian, shipping, or training fees.
Breeder is not responsible if the puppy contracts a communicable disease after leaving the breeder's possession.
Breeder guarantees the puppy against any congenital defect causing death or making necessary euthanasia until two years of age.
Breeder offers a two-year hip and elbow guarantee on any puppy found to have moderate or severely affected hip or elbow dysplasia that is debilitating. The following applies: The puppy must have a new x-ray by your veterinarian to confirm the diagnosis, and it must be documented by an official OFA preliminary consultation. Additionally, the buyer must adhere to proper protocol in puppy raising in regards to proper nutrition and the proper amount of exercise and playtime. If the buyer does not provide proper nutrition and over-exercises their pup before the age of 2, hip and elbow warranties will be voided. As a breeder, we’ve done everything we can do to ensure we are producing sound puppies with parents who have good genetics. As owners, it’s your job to provide the best atmosphere to allow the hips to form properly.
Breeder offers a two-year heart guarantee on any puppy found to have a severe heart murmur (grade 5/6 or 6/6). The following applies: The puppy must have a canine cardiologist perform an echocardiogram to confirm the diagnosis.
Upon receipt of a letter to the breeder from a reputable canine cardiologist stating that in his/her opinion, this condition is congenital, the puppy will be replaced by a puppy of equal value at the breeder’s earliest possibility. We reserve the right to have a second opinion from our canine cardiologist. We also reserve the right to acquire DNA to determine the dog or puppy as one of our lineages.
Breeder does not guarantee color, size, championship, fertility, coat type, or temperament of any puppy. To be covered by this guarantee, the following conditions need to apply: Puppy must be owned by the original owner named in the agreement and be neutered/spayed by 12 months of age. In the case of sudden demise of the puppy, the breeder must receive a written notice of the puppy's death from the owner’s veterinarian.
