A labor of love...
Puppies and moms, need alot of love, care and understanding in the early weeks of life. We give them every ounce we can while they are here with us. Whether its 10am playtime to 3AM feedings. We are right there ready to offer them what they are needing in the moment. Empowering them thru obstacles and not enabling them in their fears.

*As they were originally bred to be, some of our puppers are going on to become full certified therapy  & medical alert dogs. Which is just awesome to see! :)

Reserving a puppy...

When you reserve or purchase one of our puppies you will receive a two year written guarantee against genetic issues that would affect the quality of your pet's life. We are here to help you for as long as you need us!

We have chosen to breed predominantly small and medium size Authentic Australian Labradoodles. (Meaning, our lines come from Australia)
Our dogs are raised in our home as members of the family, to help develop their personalities in anticipation of becoming a valued and well balanced pet for the family or companion for the single.

How are the pups raised?...
We begin early nuerological stimulation & early scent introduction with the pups as early as day 3. We introduce our puppies to many sights, sounds and experiences as we are able with age appropriate curriculumn. Weeks 2.5 - 4 we introduce brief loud noise , new daily items in the whelping box, tactile items under foot, and a place to go potty. Imprinting the pups with a strong sense that there is a "spot for that". Thus laying the groundwork for potty training.
Weeks 4&5 we begin daily fun obstacle work with the puppies. Helping them thru mazes, up, over & under objects of many shapes, sizes, and tactile surfaces. Continuing with their daily dose of different sounds along the way. They also learn there is a "nap" time with some much needed sleep to help them absorb all that they have learned. Weeks 6, 7 & 8 We challenge the pups a little more, only stepping in to cheer them on as needed. But by this age, they got it and are ready to take on what ever we bring em'! From free play areas in and around our home and gardens, to obstacle courses with no turning back.
All this, along with a good dose of common sense training in general. Imprinting a total recall, and behaviours of sit and manding. Laying the ground work for a pup eager and willing to train and learn.
The puppies at 9 weeks are ready to learn the next steps in puppy socialization and family life with you! We now send each of our puppies home with the opportunity to sign up with the Dunbar Training Academy to be a "Top Dog" member. To continue with their training from the moment they arrive home with you.

The cost of care?...
We realize this puppy represents a significant investment by the pet owner. The veterinary care and procedures alone, represents a $980. value which is included in the price of $2850. The general care, feeding, and housing of the litters and their mama's reflects the rest. It is a labour of love for us but there are costs in owning any dog, or pet for that matter. So it only stands to reason that it costs to raise happy, healthy, well rounded puppies.

*Price does not include transportation costs, please contact us for rates if that would apply.

The Authentic ALD, a pure breed in development...
The gene pool for authentic Australian Labradoodles has reached the numbers required to be recognized as a true pure breed. Now having offspring of the 4th generation or higher in the ALCA's data registry. The ALCA has achieved this status for the Truly Authentic Australian Labradoodles. It is only through the careful selection for breeding that the exceptional qualities of the true Australian Labradoodle will be maintained.


Once again, we do not breed F1 or F2 American Labradoodles as we feel the size, coat, and non allergenic traits are not consistent in these early breedings. Though we loved our F1 Labradoodles, they were NOT a part of our breeding program. There are some "clubs" which do allow such infusions into their lines. We do not advocate such infusions with our lines. If you are looking for a true ALD, please do your research on what makes an Australian Labradoodle, an Australian Labradoodle.

For more info...
Please contact us with any questions or concerns, we love to talk about our dogs.
We require a $500. non-refundable Reservation Fee along with a signed agreement to reserve/hold a puppy.

How does the selection process work?...
Puppies have aways been reserved in order of reservation. Meaning, First reserved gets first pick, 2nd reserved gets 2nd pick, etc.
However, **We now(as we always have) give you our highest recommendation as to which puppy(s) will suit you and your family best. Meaning there is no "last" pick. Or just getting "whats left". As always, we work with these pups from day one, 24/7 and feel we have the better understanding as to their overall temperament. We ALSO temperament test our puppies at the age of 7 weeks. Giving our puppies a voice in the conversation. With video and a report card of each. Learning who they are, how they interact with other canine friends & humans, how they feel about sights and sounds, are they happy to be in arms or do they prefer a more respectful touch in handling. Do they have a high play drive or are they more easy going and would rather a daily strole, over a game of fetch and chase. Are they a tenderhearted puppy and are easily overwhelmed with human emotion or are they a rock! All things we look at when suggesting who your new furry member of the family should be.
Any puppy can have an "off" day, and that may be the day you visit. Why "letting the puppy pick you" is really an outdated and uninformed way of selecting who your new puppy will be. This is also why we ask you to fill out a completed application form. Telling us about you, your family, home, lifestyle, any other pets, work etc. As we get to know each other over the course of the months and weeks waiting for your puppy, raising your puppy, we also are assesing which puppy will fit and thrive with you. This means you may not know which pup you are taking home, till closer to going home. Therefore, we ask you love them all, dont get attached to any, & just enjoy watching all the puppies grow and develope within the litter you are holding a reservation on. Don't worry, we have private albums on each litter that is updated almost daily with photos and videos for you to see. However, should you find yourself as "last" placement, and concerned on who remains for you, we always offer transferability to the next future available litter should the last placement not be a good fit. We want our puppies to succeed in life. So it's just as important to us to have even the "last", find their perfect family. There is no one-perfect pup for everyone, but there is a puppy perfect for you!

**We reserve the right to hold back any number of puppies of our choice for any reason, from each of our litters.** As the breeder, we ALWAYS have 1st picks!

How to Apply for a puppy...

To get on our Reserve list and to hold a puppy, we require a completed puppy application form and a $500. non-refundable Reservation List Fee & signed Agreement, when reserving.
Then we offer the following payment plan for the balance;

$500. due at 2 weeks old. $500. at 5 weeks old, & the balance of $1350. due when picking up puppy. Cost does not include delivery. Please contact us for info on transportation costs if delivery is needed.
Until the reservation lists open, we have a master waiting list.
To be placed on our "Master Waiting List"
We now require 20% of your Reservation fee  - $100.00 (non-refundable) at time of signing up.(new, spring 2023)
If you are willing to wait for a planned litter with us, then we will gladly add you to our Master waiting list towards the next planned litter's Reservation List to open on the size of pup you are looking for.
Upon receipt of a completed and approved application form, we will send you the paperwork to complete and return along with this 20% fee. You will then be added to our Master Waiting list.The balance of the Reservation fee will become due at time of mating. This fee of course will then be deducted from the total cost of your new puppy.
 

We plan our litters only after our dams have had a health and wellness exam post litter.
Thus our waiting times may be 8+ months. We understand people want a puppy now, when you make that decision, the wait can feel like forever. However to be fair to us in our time spent vetting applications, and to our girls, we need to know our applicants are in it for the duration and are willing to wait for their new puppy from us here at BVM. We put a lot of time and work into each little crew we raise, and that includes the planning stage of any new litter.

Our hope is that this will not deter you but help you to feel more secure about placing your name on our waiting list.

Responsible breeding and prevention of the unwanted?...
**All of our puppies are required to be spayed or neutered between 8-12 months of age. This is a hot topic among many as to "when", and even the vets cant seem to agree. We do feel it is important for your puppies to finish growing before such a procedure is done. We tend to see our pups at full size in this 8-12months timeframe. This is the reason we have changed our timeframe from 6 months to 8-12. The larger your puppy, the longer one should wait. But it all depends on how long your puppy will take to reach full size. Mini, medium, standard etc. With our lines being prodomenently mini and medium, we again, see this by 8-12months.

Upon verification from your vet that the procedure has been performed, a refund will be given up to $250. Failure to provide proof within the agreed time, an additional $6700. will become due and payable to us, which is the price of a breeding ALD dog. ($9,550.)We have this clause in place to prohibit unplanned pregnancies with dogs purchased for other reasons than breeding. Pets working/service/therapy types.
Though we strive to have consistency in our lines, not all are breeding quality and without proper health testing, should not move forward as such. If you are interested in a breeding dog, we have separate contracts and protocots for such and are happy to chat with you in that regard.

  
Applications for "Mini To Small mediums" now being accepted towards our late 2023 litter.
