Pricing and Details

The purchase price of our multi-generational Australian Labradoodle pet puppies is $3200 plus HST regardless of size, gender or colour. The buyer will receive a $200 rebate (plus HST) once their puppy has been desexed. We have put extensive time, expense and effort into raising and properly health testing any prospective breeding dogs and also only purchasing the best breeding stock. As such this is reflected in the price. Not all Labradoodles are the same! As you should always do when buying a puppy from any breeder, please do your research and know what you are getting. We try to post as much information as needed on the website to educate our buyers but if you still have questions please contact us. ONCE AN APPLICANT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED, a deposit of $575 (includes HST) is required to hold your position on one of our reservation lists. The deposit is your commitment to the purchase and is non-refundable. Deposits will not be held for more than one year if a puppy is not accepted when available. PLEASE DO NOT SEND A DEPOSIT UNTIL IT IS REQUESTED.

Health Guarantee

All of our puppies will go to their new homes up-to-date on vaccinations, will be vet checked, micro-chipped, and will have started being house-broken. Our puppies are sold as pet puppies and as such will go to their new homes with a strict spay/neuter contract. ALL puppies sold as pets are to be desexed by the age set out in the contrac. Once proof of desexing has been received by Sprucetree Labradoodles the buyer will receive a $200 rebate plus HST.

We will provide a two year health guarantee with each Sprucetree Labradoodle, provided that the written agreement between breeder and new owner for puppy care is followed. This guarantee is for coverage of genetic diseases only and does not cover minor, non-life-threatening health conditions such as ear infections, base narrow canines or umbilical hernias. Our puppies will have had a complete health exam by our veterinarian and deemed healthy at the time of going to their new owners. Each pup will be required to have a follow-up check-up by the new owner’s veterinarian within 72 hours of going home in order to validate the health guarantee.

Health Testing Performed on Our Breeding Dogs

The following information is given so you will understand that not all Labradoodles are created equally. Multi-generation Australian Labradoodles come with several generations of health-tested dogs behind them and are not the same as first generation (F1) or early generation (F1B) backcrosses.

At Sprucetree Labradoodles we follow the strictest health testing as determined by the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association (WALA). This ensures that all of our breeding dogs are tested for diseases specific to the parent breeds of our Labradoodles before they are added to our breeding program. The following diseases are tested for:

• PRA/PRCD - Progressive Retinal Atrophy and Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration which are degenerative eye diseases that cause blindness.

• DM - Degenerative Myelopathy is a progressive disease of the spinal cord that causes paralysis.

• EIC - Exercise Induced Collapse is a disease which can cause sudden death. Exercise-Induced Collapse (EIC) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder causing affected dogs to suffer from a loss of muscle control following periods of extreme exercise. Typically, an affected dog begins to show symptoms between 5 months and 3 years of age, usually around the age that more intensive training begins.

• Von Willebrand Disease also called VWD, is the most common inherited blood clotting disorder in dogs. It’s the result of an insufficient amount of Von Willebrand factor (VWF), which is a plasma protein that helps blood to clot. VWD can result in excessive, serious bleeding from even a minor skin wound.

• X-rays are performed on all of our breeding dogs and are sent to OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) for grading. These are specialized X-rays to determine the presence of or likelihood of developing dysplasia or osteoarthritis in the hips, elbows or patella.

• CAER (Companion Animal Eye Registry) An eye examination is performed by a veterinary ophthalmologist to determine eye health.
