The Reservation Process
Stay updated on your dog's litter as they grow and develop with our regular posts and photos on our Instagram & Facebook pages. We also schedule a Puppy-Playday when the pups reach 5-6 weeks, allowing you to visit and meet the entire litter and their mum.At 7 weeks, our veterinarian conducts a thorough health examination, and we finalize our assessment of temperament and conformation at 7 1/2 to 8 weeks. We then match the dogs with their new families based on our evaluation and your preferences, ensuring the perfect fit for both dog and family.
We strive to meet our Puppy Families' desires in terms of their ideal puppy, although we believe that temperament and personality should be the primary factors in permanent home placement. We screen all of our puppies over a period of many weeks to determine suitability in different home situations, and, as we want our Puppy Families to be happy with the puppy they are adopting, we will work with you personally on this selection.
We want you to follow the development of your puppy's litter each week as they grow and learn, and will post regular updates and photos on our FaceBook page and on our Puppies page after they are born. We have a planned puppy playdate when the puppies reach 5-6 weeks of age, so that you can visit all of the puppies and mom too if she is feeling up to it.
At 7 weeks each puppy is given a complete health exam by our Veterinarian. We will do a final assessment of temperament and conformation at 7 1/2 to 8 weeks, which is the age at which both of these factors are most effectively evaluated. If there is a puppy that we choose for our breeding program, that is when we will decide. The puppies are then matched with their new families based on our evaluation of the puppies temperament in conjunction with the adoptive families preferences stated in the applications, email correspondence and phone conversations.
Payment in full is required by check (including 7.75% CA sales tax) 10 days before pickup date or in cash when puppy is picked up. The puppies will be microchipped, given a medical examination, and then made available to their new owners at 8 weeks of age.
We work very hard to find the best fit for our puppy and your family. When the puppies are born, we will know color and gender availability and will contact families regarding the availability of their selection. Flexibility on any of the selection factors greatly improves the likelihood of there being a puppy for your family!
The application will help us select the best puppy for your home. So that we can best assess your desires, we welcome your phone call...after you submit the application. If you have not heard from us in 48 hours, please email or call us directly at (714) 485-3627, in case of email problems. Please state clearly if you are unwilling to accept a puppy of a different gender and color than you indicate on your application. Please feel free to call (between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM PST) should you have questions on our puppy allocation process.
What sets our dogs apart
Our Australian Labradoodles are known for their intelligence, allergy-friendly low shedding coat, easy trainability, excellent temperament, and loyalty. They make ideal family companions and are eager to please. Shady Creek Labradoodles adhere to strict health guidelines and standards in breeding, ensuring the best possible genetics and health for your new dog.
Our pups receive individual attention and socialization with children, adults, and other dogs, preparing them for a smooth transition into their new homes. This process begins with early neural stimulation at 3 days old and eventually basic potty training and crate exposure. All of this along with the normal sounds and happenings of a busy household environment give our pups a head-start in life!
